A SPECIAL from Fort Buford, April
18th, reports the Indians restless and
beginning to move. The Yanktons are

made overtul es to the Grooventres and
other peaceable tribes with offers of
presents, asking them to join the hos
| tile movements. Unless more provis-
ions are granted they will nearly all
unite, and, the tribes once comented,
the Indians of this country will make
bloody campaign.
