Savages Dictating terms to the Yankees.

--A Chicago dispatch says:

‘ A special dispatch from St. Paul says that Wasedereys, a prominent Sission Indian, has come into Fort Abercrombie and has accepted terms of peace. He states that nearly all the Sission are in favor of peace, and others of their leaders will be ready in a few days to follow his example; but the powerful tribe of Yanktonnais, while they want peace, require that "Uncle Sam" shall not penetrate into their territory, and that steamboats with emigrants shall not navigate the upper Missouri. The refugees, murderers of the lower bands and the evil disposed of other hands, are joining them, preparatory to a spring campaign.
