Several parties of Indians hod been seen in the neighborhood, but were suffered to pass, as they professed friendship, though offering some personal insults. Trails liava been discovered near the road, firiug he.-rd, and Indians occasionally seen Danger and alarm prevail throughout the rout and fron tier of the territory.
