The Russian despatch is conciliatory in tone, and the substances was sent to the Government by telegraph after the COzar conferred with the minister's, and a written reply to Earl Granville is now on his way to Lon- don.
The News warns its readers, however, hasty conclusions that peace is as- surea

Col. Ouimet reached Calgary on the 29th, and left early next morning to join his regiment, the 65:h of Montreal.
A despatch from Red Deer River, Cal- gary, says: A curier has just paesed us bringing news of the capture of four while women by Big Bear’s band. ‘The men ex- press the intensest desire for action. The river is unforda>le, anda raft will have to be built, but there is enough timber near at hand. Among the women captured by Big Bear there are two wives of mission- aries, All are being frightfally maltreated, Gep. Strange’s intention is to push through with all haste to Edmonton, and then, if possible, take his troops by boat to Fort Pitt and Battleford. The 140 lodges be- longing to Big Bear are somewhere near the trail north of this. Thus far the march has been remarkable, for this place has been reached in only five days from the start. The average day’s march has been nearly 20 miles, and this has been done without transport for the men. A score of carts, sent back by Geu. Strange, met this column on the 29+h about 15 miles out, and since then most of the men have beenable to ride, but almost the whole march has been made by the 15th on foot, and that cheer- fully. Quite a number of freight teams have been left stuck fast in the mud. The nine-pounder has been dragged through by twelve horses working in relays of six. We any hope to make good speed to the relief of the distressed as soon as this river is forded. Every man in the company is willing to follow Mejor Perry anywhere and for any service We have been here but little more than hour and already one raft is nearly completed, although the logs had to be hauled a considerable distance At this river work a large force of the 65th are busy. It is feared, however, that cross- iug this river will delay the column for the whole day, for the river is exceedingly swift avd has only a few good landing places.
Before an hour ard a half a raft was com- pleted and a rope made fast on the other side. The gun was dismounted and carried down the bank, and finally set on the raft with two tons of ammunition and artillery harness, the whele making three and a-half tons weight. The intention was to send it to the other shore, but the current was too swift, the rope broke and it drifted down the stream. Mejor Perry took a rope and swam from the raft to the shore. He was nearly gone but managed to make the rope fast to atree again. By this time a boat had come down and at last the raft wa made fast and swung on a point. itis the intention to keep the small boat running all night and transport the outfits. Some half- breeds eight miles down the river have lumber but they refuse to give it for the building of a ferry boat or anything else. The stream is fully 600 feet wide and very rapid. The region north and east of here is full of hostiles, in fact all the Indians west of Battleford are in war paint. The settlers have all fled. John Walkinshaw and Albert Harkness, both from Ontario, were killed by Big Bear's band over a week ago. Their wives and the wives of the two missionaries are prisoners. Scouts from the north-east say they will have a fearful time of it. Poundmaker, Little Child and all the rest are out. A number of half-breeds are directing them, Steele was to have sent word back when he reeched Edmonton, but nothing has been heard. There is a perfect panic in the Eleanor district, and scores of homesteads have been burned.
