INDEPENDENCE, Mo., April 20, 1853 The Santa Fé mail, in charge of Mr. Rupe, arrived on the 18th. The party met with no molestation, though they saw numerous bands of Indians on the route. Lieut. Heth, in command of the military post at Fort Atkinson, had determined to attack the Cheyenne Indians, and was only waiting till the mail had passed, This band during the winter murdered a discharged soldior on the plains, and refused to deliver the murderers to Lieut. Heth. The foreeat the garrison was very insuffi- cient, but Lieut. Heth deemed it absolutely no- cessary toa ttempt their chastisement, as they had in- solently defied him on more than one occasion. The can- tent will be rather unequal, and the result is feared. The government have been guilty of groas neglect in sup- plying an insufficient force at @ post where thore is so much danger, surrounded as it is by 5,000 Indians of various tribes.
