Eighteen hundred Indian braves attacked Pine Bidge to-day, and by their atrocities have placed that part of the country and its vicinity in a state of terror. One regiment of cavalry had a narrow escapa from destruction, being very nearly entrapped by the Indians. The latter continue their depredat'ons, and have burnt the Catholic Mission, It is expected that war will be declared against the Indians, and that their extermination will ensue. The Indians are attempting to burn Pine Bidge Agency, and are attacking Ohadeon, in Nebraska. This town is filled with women and children, and troops have beeo ordered to the rescue. Mr J. G. Blame, Secretary of State, has issued an order closing all American ports exoept one against the admission of Canadian cattle.
