of the Convention vindicates the wisdom

composed almost entirely of men unused

erative body for the first time in their
lives. On tho one hand they had to avoid
that conservatism which would stop short
of the rights the newly eutranchised classes
were entitled to, aud on the other the vii
radicalism which would make changes for
which the people were not fitted, and
which the condition of things would not
warrant, Both dangers were avoided.
They escaped Scylla. aud did not dash to

Ogalalls bands of Sioux Indians, repre-
sen,ing 700 warriors, has been concluded
The Indians agree to 60 upon temporary
reservation, during the existing hostlliues.
A party of Is brule Siouxs came IN last night
from Powder rivef, desiring peace. One oil
the party acknowledged their participation IN
the Fort Phil Kearney massacre. They
state that the Ind ians engaged numbered two
thousand Twelve of them were killed,
among whom were three Chiefs, and many
were wounded.
HostiIities between the Southern Cheyenees
and Hancock's troops, were reported. If
these hostilities continue, a general Indian
war is inevitable.

The Democrat correspondent with Gen.
Hancock Indian expedition sends the fol-
lowing from the deserted Cheyenne camp, 80
miles from Fl. Larned, April 18th;
Dispatches we're received last night at head
quarters, from Gen Custar, that the Indians
had burned three stations on the Smoky Hill
route, killed three men, scslped and burnt
them.
Orders have been sent TO each post on the
Santa he and Smoky Hll routes, warning
all to be on the alert, and informing them
the Indians had broken out at last, and in
tended to be true 10 the threats they issued
during the winter. The raid IS attributed to
the Sioux who endamped with the Cheyennes
in this village
Gen. Custar has divided his command, ta-
king FIVE companies cavalry himself TO purs.
sue the main body of the Cheyennes aud
Sioux, and sent three companies of cavalry
after the band that committed the RAID, and
who are supposed to be part OF the Sioux
that committed the massacre at Fort Phil
Kearney. We strike out to Fort Dodge to-
marrow
