Indian Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Judge Kinney,
United States Special Indian Commits
sioner, hasjust arrived from Fort kearny,
whittier he has been absent six months.
About six thousand warriors, composed
of Sioux, C%heyenues and Arappahoes,
now concentrated at Fort Phil. kearny,
demand as a condition Of peace that the
soldiers be withdrawn from the country,
the posts be abandoned, and the roads
to Virginia City given up, AS the coun-
try belongs to the Grow Indians, with
whom we are at peace. The demands,
if complied with, the Judge thinks may
suspend but will not settle the difficulty.
He apprehends that the next demand
will be to suspend work on the Pacific
Railroad, which is building through
this same country without consent OF
the Indians. Judge Kinney confirms
the report Of the attack on Major Pow
ellis party on the I'd Of August. He is
of the opinion there were 1000 Indians
and that Major Powell killed nearly 200.
Kinney thinks this defeat Of the Indians
may open the way to a treaty Of peace,
and that one moro punishment like that
administered by Major Powell would
give permanent peace.
