CINCINNATI, April IA party,
Just arrived from the plains, state Il Q
| prospects of a stirring campaign with
the Indians as soon as the grass
I becomes high enough TO feed
I The ponies. The most serious
apprehensions are felt for the safety
oI the Pacific railroad. The settlers
are alert to guard against surprise,
but the protecting Of the road through
| a large extent OF the country, as the
tribes will roam, is impTacticable.
The dread of the rails, which has kept
the Indians from all depredatiOHs
heretofore, does not now exist.
A hall breed, educated in st.
Louis, who some months ago
killed white man and fed to the
Sioux settlement for refuge, has in
structed the savages in the means to
be employed TO Obstruct the road,
throw The trains from the track, take
up the rails and otherwise interfere
with the operation OF the line. Ap-
preheusiOns are increasing daily.
