St. Louis, Aug. 28.--A recent Denver dispatch says the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe Indians continue their depredations and are murdering inofensive [sic] settlers in Central and Eastern Colorado. Tuesday they attacked Kiowa station on the Smoky Hill route capturing thirty horses belonging to the stage company and carried off one woman and child, whose remains were found yesterday shockingly mutulated and brought here for burial. Another band killed three men yesterday at Latham, forty miles below here on the Platte stage route. They chased the Smoky Hill stage several miles yesterday, keeping up a running fire but without damage. Gov. Hall organized a company of sixty volunteers who left at 3 o'clock this morning. Gen. Sheridan authorized him to call on the commander of Fort Reynolds for assistance. No doubt every effort will be made to overtake and punish the Indians. There is great excitement here as the Indians are stripping the country of all stock and provisions. Not less than twelve persons are known to have been murdered during the past two days.

    St. Louis, Aug. 28.--A Denver dispatch says the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe Indians continue their depredations.
    The Indian Bureau has received advices from Superintendent Murphy dated Atchison, Kansas, August 22d. He says he fully concurs in the views expressed in Agent Wynkoop's report that the innocent Indians who are trying to keep good faith to the treaty pledges, should be pardoned, while he recommends that the Indians who have committed the recent outrages should be turned over to the military and be severely punished. In view of the importance of the case I earnestly recommend that Agent Wynkoop be furnished promptly with the views of the Department and that full instructions be given him for his future action. Mr. Wynkoop suggests he be empowered to take the Indians who he knows to be guiltless of the enormities committed on Saline river, and who are desirous of remaining at peace, and locate them with their families at some good point which he may select in the vicinity of Fort Larned, and let these Indians be supported entirely by the Government until this trouble is over; to be kept within certain bounds and let him be furnished with a small battalion of United States troopers for the purpose of protecting them from their own people, and from being forced into a war. To those who refuse to respond to his call to come within the bounds prescribed, be considered at war, and will be properly punished. By this means of war, which he considers inevitable, there will be ability to discriminate between those who deserve punishment and those who do not.
