The Minn Sota Tragedy

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 25. Partius Irom tho Minnesota river, I ffho reached here last night, state that scouts estimated thu nutnber of whites alroady killed by the Sioux at five hundred. The opinión is bastid on tho nuuiber of bodies discoverod olong the road and truils. It is believed that all tho niissionarios are killed. Thu civilizad Indiana exceeded their savage brethren in atrocities. Mr. Frenier, an interpi'otcr, who has speDt mout of' his lifu among thu In diana, volunteered to go alone, truntiog to liis küowledgo of Üiu indiana and their disgaise, to escapo dotection. - Diessed and pain ed in savuge style, he arrived ut the Upper Ageney at night. Tlie place was literally the lialitalion of tle.ith. He visiled II tlie houses, and baw their iornier occupunts lying deud, soine on the door uteps, sorue incide, and olliur.s scafered in yards He went to the housu of Hou. J. 11.

A reliablejletter dated (ilencoe, 21a', says the injury done by tho atatnpede of settlers is immense. Another such scène of vvoe can hardly be seen in the j South, as Ln McLeod, Meekor, and tho Northern part of Sibley and other counties.

The St. Paul Prest, of the 2 tth, saya a eareful cnnsideralion of the evideneo aceumulated so fat forces the conviction that the iurluence of white men was at tha botlom of the Indian masaacre. - For a week past white men, Missourians, have been among them. '1 he faot tbal remóte tribes like Yanktons and Cut Heads are moving ia concert with the tíioux, that a large forcé attacked a lortitied artillury post like Fort Kidgley, an attack without precedent in Indian history, that the Indiana are butcliering the rnissionaries who have spent tfaeii lives among them, and who in ordinary disturbances would possesa great iniluence over thein, all seern to indícate tomo directing intelligeoce superior to that of the indiana. We are iorced to the conclusión that ttiis oulürcak on their part is a deüber ate and concerted plan, its purpose being to embarraos and distract tíie general govurnnient by alarming it for the süieiy of the frontier and reqtiiring the relention here of a large nuinbi;r ol trrops who might otherwise be diöerently engagi'd.
