are Hughes, Peck and Denver, of Washing

Semmes is confined in a room in the Navy

from Gen. Sully, dated Sioux City, to the
Indian Bureau, states that he has Just ar
rived from Fort Rice, and reports a large
band Of Indians gathered about that local
ity. They seem to desire to preserve a

Government during the last two years. The
military force has been so much decreased
that the Indians no longer fear it. An in
