--By passengers who arrived yesterday morning from
Sioux City, and who came across the
State of Iowa, we have intelligence of the sinking of the Atchison ferry-boat
S. G. Morrow, which left
Rev. Joseph about fourteen days since for
Fort Randall.
The news was brought to Stoux City by the stage driver from
Fort Randall.
The boat is said to be sunk at or near the mouth of
James River, and was loaded principally at
Rev. Joseph by
Dr. Burleigh, the
Agent of the
Yancton Indians.
Her load consisted of supplies for those
Indians, and goods for the traders, together with some army supplies, shipped by the
Quartermaster of the army in this city for
Fort Randall.
No further particulars were brought by our informants.--
Rev. Louis Republican, 13th.
