ST. LOUIS, May 23.--Gen. Sheridan has returned to Fort Leavenworth from the West.
    Capt. Angell arrived at Leavenworth from the Plains Wednesday. He reports 600 Indians at Fort Larned and about the same number at Fort Dodge. Maj. Wynkoop was at Fort Larned and had invited all the Indians to meet him there, to receive annuities. A large number of Indians arrived with Spencer's carbines, and well supplied with amunition furnished by the Government. Capt. Angell does not believe there is any danger of a difficulty with the Indians at present, but if whisky is not kept away from them trouble is likely to occur.
