From 81. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, August ia dispatch
from Solomon City, Kansas, dated on
Saturday, says: Indians were report
ed to be within twenty-eight miles OF
this place at daylight this morning.
Their strength is variously estimated at
from six to fifteen hundred and they are
rep ,rted to have declared that they
were going 10 clean out the settlements
on all these streams. Women and
children are coming in very fast and the
town is nearly full of refugees. 1t is
creditably reported that detachment
of soldiers had an engagement with the
Indians yesterday between the Solomon
and Saline rivers. in which the soldiers
were whipped.
Nearly all the settlers north of Asher
Creek are surrounded. We know of 81
persons being killed. Excepting those
| that are surrounded all the settlers for
80 miles along the Solomon River have
been driven Oft. Governor Crawford
came up from Topeka to-day, aud is
now in Salina organizisg the militia.
One squad has gone from this place to
the relief of those up the river. Others
will go as soon as arms and ammunition
arrive from Topeka. A body of Indians
are now moving towards Republican
Valley.
An Omaha dispatch says: While the
construction train Oh the Union Pacific
road was backing toward Fremont sta
ton, Saturday, it ran over COW,
throwing the cabooSe Oft the track, kill
ing five men and wounding twelve.
Two of the latter died yesterday. All
were employees of the road.
