L'ist evening we met Messrs. Sidney Mosier, George Shaw and Ja nes Osborne, who arrived in this city yesterday from the mountains.—They came duwa from Fort Benton with three Macinac boa.3 as far as Council Blutis, and from there to this city on the steamer Aiiniral.—They left Fort Benton on the 3i of May, and arrived at Council Bluft'a on the 19.h inst. Two 'Macmac boats which left F»rt Sarpy, on the Yellow Stone, mi the 19th of May, also arrived at the Bluffs on the 23J inst. The boats and tvgo are the property of the American Fur Company.

These gentlemen report that the Blaukfeet Indians have been annoying the Crow Indians during the winter, by ste.ilitiLj their horses.—The latter tribe, however, avenged themselves by taking seventeen of their enemies' scalps during the winter. La:e in the sprinj^a Blackfoot Indian came close 10 Fon S irpy and scalped a squaw of his own tribe, who had, however, been a prisoner of the Crows for a number of years.

On the first of May, seven men started from Furl Unbn, at the mouth of the Yrllow Stone, to go to Fort Sarpy, a distance of two hundiel miles, to assist in bringing some boats. On theii third day out.they were met by a party of over three hundred Sioux, armed t« the teeth, wl.o made a hostile demonstration towards them. One of theii party who could speak the Sioux language interfered. The Sioux demanded their surrender, but some of the naity were unwilling, when they were attacked and a man by the name of George Sikes, a German, who is from Quiney, Illinois, was wounded, and another one of them shot at by a Sioux chief, but was not injured. They then came to a parley and the Indians stripped them of their guns and ammunition and every panicle of their clothes, and left them naked in the mountains They bent their course towards Fort Sarpy, which they reached a few days afterward?, in their naked condition, having suffered considerably with the cold and want of fond.

Th«j only thing they had to eat was a young butfalo calf, which one of the party killed with a stone, and withal sharp flint tney opened a vein and sucked its Wood. Three days after they arrived at Fort Sarpy. The Sioux, some three hundred strong summnded the fort, but after distributing some pres-l enta and having a talk the Indians left1 wi houi offering to attack them. Mr. Moziir and his parly report that on their way down from the Yellow Stone, they were not molested until they got' to the Sargeunt Hills, where they were hailed from an Indian village, and on refusing to land, their steersman was fir-' ed at and the ball passed over his head.

They report the Upper Missouri as very low, and .vith not much prospect of a rise, as there had been but little snow in the mountains during the winter, the season having been uncommonly mild. The Sioux were congregating about Fort Pierre in great numbers, but! for what purpose it is not known.

They give the following account of the boats that recently started up: Met! American Fur Company's boat, S'.. Mary, on the I Oth inst., 80 miles above Sargean t's Bluff met Govern men steam era Grey Cloud, on the 2Dth inst., 6 wiles above Sergeant's Bluff Arnbia &nd Wm. Baird on 21st inst, Clara and Kate Swinney on the 23d. 80 miles above Council Bluffs.

It is said that Commissioner Ipgraham, late of the sloop of war St. Louis, and celebrated as the hero of the Koxta affair, will he appointed to the command of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

During the month of May, the Patis Presse paid to the government for the stamp duty, the enormous sum of 21,000 dollars, i*

The steamer OHio 'Belle, here yesterday, had on board a steam fire engine, made at Cincinnati, for New Orleans. It is not so large or heavy as the Cincinnati steam fire engine, but it has the advantage of new improvements, and is abetter machine thau the first built, —Ev. Journal, 1th
