LATER FROM Or ECON. "A correspondent
writing from the Dalles, states that about
% per cent of the live stock in that vicinity
have died during the late snow and cold
weather. The Indians with whom Col.
Wright had so much ''close wau- wan" last
fall, have, during the late storm, manifested
their love of peace ard good will toward the
whites by stealing all the stock at Fort Sim.
coe they also captured four white men,
(regulars We SUPPOSE three of whom they
sent back to the tort but retained the fourth
as they say, for the purpose of making a
clerk of him, the better to make known their
wishes to the whites. There are now a
large number of Indians camped opposite
Fort Walla Walla. They are soon to hold u
council to select chief TO rule over the COM
bined Indian tribes, and to make prepara-
tions for general pitch-in, provided the
whites do not concede to them all they de-
mand Ii is thought that the selection Of a
ruler will be made from the Spokanes.

Observation-Disclosures by non resi-
dents is complained of in the St. Paul papers
as sad drawback Oh the prosperity of Min
nesota. In three counties lying along the
Mississippi river nineteen twenticths of the
land sold is said to be sold by Eastern spec
ulators, who will neither improve it them
selves nor sell to settlers at reasonable rates,
The counties are Sherburne, Morrison and
Benton A plan to remedy this evil, how
ever, has been hit upon, and is alrea,ly pro-
ducing its effects 1t is to taa this land
held by non-residents as much rs the i'm
proved lands OF actual residents are assessed
at. LII consequence of this, II comfortable
amount of land held by Eastern men has
been offered for SALE The cause of the
the large absorption Of land by SPECTATORS
is saitf to be the fact that government at
first threw into market more land than was
needed by she progress of population. The
people of % new Territory or State have
always the means of remedyins these
abuses, however, hy means of taxation.
