An Indian War Feared.

At the War Department there is a fear that when spring opens there will be another general Indian war with the Sioux. Several hundred lodges have left the Spotted Tail and Red Cloud agencies, and are now roaming in Northern Dakota, where it is expected they will be joined by Sitting Bull in the spring, or air least a part of his band. The expedition now putting out at Fort Laramie by Gen. Orook is intended to invasion of the Black Hills country, and will leave at once to strike these roaming bands from the agencies before the snow is off the ground and the grass lias grown sufficiently for the Indians to fatten their ponies.— Washington Cor.
