Estimated valuation of taxable property $40, 900, 900
Tax one mill on the dollar 10000
We rather doubt this summary statement. The coun-
ties heard from are twenty-five in number, and constitute
the w~ealthiest in the Territory; the counties not heard
from are twenty in number, and are the latest organized
and the poorest in population and wealth, including such
as Pembina, Superior, St. Lousis, Isanti, &c. If the
first have yielded but S39, 900 Of the $4,000 we doubt
if the last will make up the balance. ..,
How ludicrously this sum of $4,000 of taxes assess
ed, contrasts with the sum Of S., 900 collected. We
say to our representatives, do not blind your eyes with
fancy figures, nor expect a revenue of thousands from
sections Of country bordering on the Red River and Lake
Superior. You cannot draw blood from a stone. The
income Of the State is s., 900 and no more. Base your
operations on that. Be economical as behooves a young
community composed principally Of poor men, and do
not rush into extravagances that will wreck your per-
sonal character, drive emigration from our doors, and
leaves us a crippled and impoverished people for genera.

We had supposed that the weather in December was
most strangely out Of character for this latitude, but the
mildness of this January weather is still more extraor.
binary. At the close of the month three days of warm
rain has carried off the little snow that had lately fallen,
and left our streets unpleasantly muddy the ice that
had barely formed a bridge across the river, has been
weakened, and along the shore broken up for some dis
lance there is no crossing the river now, either for
teams or foot passengers.
1t is pleasant to feel the soft warm air instead Of the keen
cutting breath of winter but work that should be car.
rled just now is interrupted, and farmers and others
would prefer cold weather, if it sforded good winter
for the river to open to St. Paul. A few days more
like those of the past week, would certainly clear it of
ice. 1t is now quite thin and rotten, and the rapid rise
OF the water would soon make it give way. We under
stand the boats have been able to ply up to Prairie de
Chen all winter, and at Dubuque, the ferry has been in
constant requisition.
The New York papers speak Of it is remarkable that
men there can labor in comfort in their shirt sleeves out Of
doors. The same has been the case here in each of the
past three months. From present appearances It is
likely to remain mild-there being no snow in any d.
rection, the winds will not be cold the suns rays are
becoming quite warm, and the frost has not got deep into
the ground. We may therefore expect an early spring

The Mormon Rebculen

It is very evident that Brigham Young intends TO
light before retreating He is artfulIy arranging his
plans to give the Government troops a warm reception
when they commence their march in the spring upon
Salt Lake. Large bodies of Indians are under his ir.
duence, who will act with him in Larrassing and cut.
ting of the supply trains. If the Mormons do not
maintain their position all this year, they will at any
rate give our army as much work as they can we'll per.
eorm. Our Government is we'll satisfied of the impor.
t,nce Of this rebellion, and is energetically working to
have it crushed without delay troops are moving for
ward to the western stations, 10 start early i'd the spring
to Utah. Men are being enlisted for the campaign in
volunteer companies are also forming to act in the ex-
pected contest. One of their Journals says
1t is generally believed here that the GoveFnmen.
must maintain it's supremacy and vindicate its iusulted
honor by conquering Utah, and . lively campaig1iesex
pected next summer. Preparations have been uskjng
in many of the mining towns for the orgauization Of
volunteer companies in the hope that their services will
be required. Five thousand men could probably IS OBJ
tanned here, in the character Of volunteers, as cheaply
as in any Eastern State, and men who will need little
drilling to make good scldiers-mauy Of them having
been in the Mexican War, and all of them pluck to the
backbone.
The accounts about the Mormons preparing to fly
from Salt Lake are no doubt true but this will not be
done until they have exhausted their efforts to defeat
the army sent against them. When they 20, they will
leave a desolate waste behind them, as this is their pur.
pose in removing their stores and property to a secure
retreat before the worst befalis them.
The Utah expedition has cost, up to the present time
eight millions of dollars, and the Government will incur
the loss Of animals on the Plains this winter to q million
and q half Of dollars.

At Port Tobacco, on Mondays, Tuesdays and
Wednesdays
At Centreville, on Thursdays;
At Newport, on Fridays and Saturdays ~
He is a handsome grey, eight years old the 22d
OF May, 1858, and has proved himself a sure foal1
getter. He is kind and gentle in harness, and is
we'll proportioned; and for strength, speed and
bottom combined cannot be surpassed by any other
stock in this country, In proof of this he has
taken the first Premiums in three States of the
Union, viz: Maryland, Pennsylvania and New
Jersey.

by the imported horse "Di!igence;" Diligence was
imported from France by Mr.. Edward Harris, of
full blooded Messenger mare, and from the know

following terms: Eve dollars for single service;

The former will be of general advantage to the
