Editor Of Charles City hateltigeaeer:
SIR In view of the approaching
nominations, we would call the atten-
ton of the citizens of the 18th Judi
cial District to the fact that Captain
Robt G. Reiniger, whose three years
term in the military service of the
United States expired last month, will
be at home in few days. Captain
Reiniger is well-read Lawyer, emf
nently qualified to fill the Office of
Judge of the 18th Judicial District,
and many Of his numerous friends and
acquaintance, who know his good
qualities, would like to see him occu-
ply that position. This is decidedly
the most important office to be filled
in the District. AS the Judge may
be called upon to decide matters which
involve our prosperity, liberties and
lives, let us be careful whom we call
to gill the high position.
MANY CITIZENS.

The Indian War.

The steamer Elfie Deans arrived at
st. Joseph, Mo-, on the Sd inst, from
the upper Missouri river, and reports
that three days before her arrival at
Fort Berthold the Indians made three
assaults on that Fort, which were cas-
lily repulsed. Gen. Sully left Fort
Rich on the 18th for the heart of the
Sioux nation, where he expected to
have an engagement. The expedition
was composed of two Minnesota regi-
ments, the 7th Iowa cavalry, two COM
panies Of Dacotah volunteers, and 100
Nebraska scouts, with four guns. The
command took thirty days rations.
The remainder of Sully's forces were
left as garrisons of posts established
"a company of the Sd Wisconsin at
Fort Rice, one at Fort Union, the re-
mainder of the regiment along the
river. Five steamers laden with
government freight had been ordered
to Fort Benton by Gen. Sully. The
remainder of the mountain fleet will
probably be detained till spring, trans
porting government supplies in large
quantities, which are lying at different
points on the river.
Advices have been received from
the plains to the effect that the Apa-
chez, Kiowa, Comanche, and Arapahoe
Indians, numbering nearly 1000, are
committing serious depredations on
the Santa Fo road. All the horses,
mules. and beef cattle belonging to
Fort Larned, also, number Of private
cattle, and 1870 horses of the Colorado
battery, were captured within quar-
ter of mile from that fort on the IL.
In addition TO this. emigrant trains
were robbed and destroyed, and alto
gethcr some 60 animals run off,
About 90 persons were killed and
scalpcd. The Indians were threaten
ing Fort Larned, at last accounts,
where but IS men were stationed.
Over 100000 worth of provisions
had been given these Indians at Fort
Larned few days before the commit
tai of these deeds.
