Apprehended Indian Hostilities.—Dates from St. Paul, Minnesota, to the 26th of July, have been received. From the Sioux Agency the reports are that 10,000 Indians are defying the United States troops and a renewal of hostilities was unavoidable. The settlers were flying for protection, and Gov. Medary was there endeavoring to preserve peace. He sustains the action of the Superintendent in the suspension of the payment of the annuities until the Sioux nation deliver up the infamous band of murderers who committed so many outrages on the whites. The Sioux refuse to do this, and are trying to bring about a collision with the Government troops. A telegraphic dispatch from the Secretary of War refusing the request of Governor Medary for arming the volunteers, occasions some excitement, and two hundred men are prepared, and determined to march if needed for the protection of the frontier.
