Antoine Frenfer killed..

A letter TO Capt. DAVIDSON from Capt. ABE
HUTCHINSON, dated on board the Chippewa
Falls, at Winnebago Agency. Missouri River,
June 18th, states that an Indian reports to Gen.
SULLy that ANTOINE FRENIER has been muir
dered by the Sioux. He was coming down the
Missouri in o canoe probably to meet Capt.
FIsK's expedition. and was shot ct by Indians
rom the right bank. He escaped to the other
bank OF the river but was induced by halls
from til, Indians TO cross back to them, and
remained in their camp. During the night
they murdered him. FRENlEE was half
breed famous scout and hunter, was connec-
ted with Gen. SlBLEYs expedition of 1862, was
guide to Capt FISK in 1868, and may be par
ticularly remembered by readers of the Pro
BEER as correspondent for this paper during
the first year Of the Indian war.
The same letter also states that party OF
twelve Indians suceeeded in stampeding forly
horses from Fort Randall and got away win
thirty of them.
1t also mentions that thirty OF the sioux
prisoners taken to Davenport on the FaVorite
last wear are now ut large and likely 70 deserve
tax again.

nelly.

WASHINGTON, June 80, 1854.
TO the Editor ertss Pioneer:
The Immigration Bureau Bill and the North
ern Pacific Railroad Bill, have both passed
the Senate.
IGNATIUS DONNELLY.
We suppose the Pacific Railroad bill above
alluded TO is that granting lands to the Peoples
Pacific Railroad Company, introduced early IN
the session by Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania.
The road begins at point on Lake Superior
in the State Of Wisconsin or at a point at or
near St. Paul, in the State Of Minnesota or NJ
any other desirable point in said State of Miune-
sofa; thence to point on the western iine oil
Minnesota. by the most eligible route,
hov;py reference to a connection with the rail-
road system of that State; thence westerly, by
the most eligible railroad route within the ter
lirory of the United States, to some point on
Puget's Sound, with branch via the valley of
the Columbia River. to point at or ne r Port
land, in the State of Oregon, leaving the main
trunk line at the most suitable place, not more
than three hundred miles from its western ter
minus.
The land granted is right of way and every
alternate section of land designated by odd
numbers, to the amount of twenty alternate
sect;o per mile on each side of said railroad
line, as said company may adopt, through the
Territories of the United States, aud ten alter
nate sections Of land Per mile on each side OF
said railroad wherever it passes through any
Safe.
This company contemplate the construction
OF continuous line from Portland Maine, &c
the navigable waters of the Pacific via the
head OF Lake Superior to the Yellow S:one
valley and the head of the Missouri, through
the Big Hole passes down the principal tribu-
tary of the Columbia river to . navigable
point on that strelm.

The general character Of the month may be
described as pleasant, notwithstardir3 one
or two drawbacks. There was heated term
extend ny to a week, on each day Of which
the mercury rose to 80 deg and above. And
for two weeks there was an accumulation of
dust which made outdoor movements anything
but pl us:nt. The ab-ence of rain in any con-
siderable quantity, was felt disaslrously. For
although more than an inch and huff of wa
ter was deposited, this went b / 4 little way to
supply the serious deficiency OF the two past
seasons. What with the low stage of wafer in
the river md its cause, the drouth, there
seems reasonable cause for anxiety in regard

aon.
