. Indian Difficulties. Four LARAMIE, July 27.-One thou? sand Cheyennes, Sioux, Arrcipahoes, Blackfeet and a few Cainanches at? tacked Platte Bridge Station, on the telegraph road, on Tuesday. The gar? rison numbered less than 250. Tho fight lasted two days, and resulted in a heavy losa to thc. Indians. The loss on our side was Lieut: Collins and one enlisted mau of the 11th Ohio Cavalry killed, and thirty-four men woynded; twenty-live of them, belonged to the 11th Ohio Cavalry, and nine to the 11th KanaA ?Regiment. The Indians retreated tS the West, tearing down telegraph poles and destroying the ' wire. A note was picked up on the battle? field, written by a white prisoner re? cently captured on tho South Platte which says the Indians do not want peace, but are fighting for all time that we had Iii lied OTIC of their chief; in fight, and the^?bjc going to destroy the telegraph, anet that they ex pee reinforcements. Tiie body of Lieut. Collins wai . horribly mutilated. His hands am feet were cut oil", his throat was eut his heart was torn out, he was scalpec and had over om: hundred arrows ii him. There seems t? lie not the slighes disposition on the part of the Indian for peace, which can only be obtainci by severely punishing them. One of the Powder River column is now moving to join the force froi Plat Le Bridge, which is following th Indians. Nows from Europe.

" .? 111 g Sg Raising of the Frigate Congress. NEWPORT NEWS, July 21.-Another determined effort to raise tho wreck of ?he United States frigate Congress was faade yesterday, and the effort was partially successful. Five power? ful steam pumps wer? put in motion at the beginning of the ebn-tide yes? terday; this was at 10 a. m. Tho five *pumps threw out eight thousand, gal? lons of water per minute, and at 1 o'clock the water in the bulk-head surrounding the wreck had fallen four feet. At this time the hull becume buoyant, and began slowly to rise, the surrouuding water-tight bulk-head rising with it. Slowly the great mass emerged from beneath the surface of the water, and at 2 o'clock the light of day once more shone on the deck of the good old Congress. Several tug:; wore present, bearing officers and pri? vileged citizens to witness the novel experiment. Al] were thinking of that March, day in 1862. when this ship, tlie pride, of our then navy, went down a bloody and helpless wreck. The wreck, as appearing above thc waters, gives a fair idea of the origi? nal size of the ship, though) much ol the afterpart of thc*, vessel is pone. Or the wreck are two rusted guns, tc which oysters and barnacles are-tight, ly . clinging. The mermaids havt woven a carpet of algie and spread it over the deck, the deck that sun! down crimsoned with blood. Ovei the bulwarks and about the ribs^loab thc soft, line grass. We stepped OJ the wet and shiny deck, ami looke. down into the bold, yet deep in' tin water: oysters we saw in abundance and chains, and great bolts of copper The teredo has bored into the t imbers and the ribs of oak are honey-combe? and unstable. Save the groat amouu of metal in and about thc wreck, tin .remains of the Congress are useless ! There are vague rumors as toa pay master's safe, with twenty thousam dollars in specie, being somewhor about thc wreck. This is a rumo only, but the rlivers will take a shari look to discover, if possible. UTlVtllill! bearing thc ^-e-, niblaneo of a pay mas tcr's safe.
