The INDIAN BOND DEFALcATGoxs -. Elk
Secretary Floyd has published a statement vim
dicaory of the aCceptances in favor of Russell,
Majors & Co and of their legality. Instead
of being six millions of them outstanding he
shows there were only six hundred thousand,
and declares that the contractors have secured
these by assignments of property ample for
thtr protection ard that if the government will
permit the earnings of the trains for Sc to be
applied 10 the acceptances, they will be liquIda-
'ed in that way without recourse TO the assign
ments. II would seem also that the government
owes the contractors $500, 600, which is equiva-
lent to the cash value of the Indian trust bonds,
Of the abstractng of which Mr.. Floyd repudiates
all previous knowledge,

Eleven Months.

We are enabled to announce on un-
questionable authority that Gen. Scott
has SO far matured his plans as
to inform the President and Cabinet
that the last secession flag shall he
torn down, the authority Of the Fcde-
raj Government reinsi lated, on every
foot of American soil, and jeff Davis
hung or driven ont of the country,
within eleren months from The day rhen
Fort Sampler pas surrendered. About
the 4th of March next he will hand
over the Union, safe and sound, to its
constituted and constitutional author
tiles. Old Lundy's Lane takes his
time to map ont the campaign and
put his forces in the best fighting
trim, and then he always wins at the
time of day when he agrees to. He
has taken the contract to wind up the
disunion business within eleven
months from the 18th of April, and he
,cM do ii.
We understand that it is a part of
General SCOTS plan to occupy Virgin
ia and Tennessee completely on or be-
fore the Goth of July. Sixty-iive
thousand Northwestern troops will
move down the Mississippi as far as
Memphis, under command of Generals
Fremont and Mcclellan, and remain in
camp until the sickly season is past,
when they will move on toward the
Balize, there meeting the conquering
army of the East and celebrating
Washington's birthday in New Or
leans. Chicago Tribune.

General Scott.

There are constantly kept before
General SCOTS head quarters about
twenty horses, all saddlcd and bridled
and ready for start, and every few
minutes couriers are going or coming
with orders and reports. Some Curl
Gus stories are told of the manner in
which the veteran Commandcrin-chief
receives information of the prepara-
tons Of the secessionists. Although
nothing is made public, it is believed
when the annals of these times come
to be written, more than one Harvey
Birch will be found to have been en-
ployed on the right side, and more
than one brave American woman ready
to sacrifice her life to her country.
We have 80 much confidence in Gen.
eral Scott as to believe that he has
allowed no strategic point to pass I'M
noticed, and that while the people are
left in the dark as to the movement of
the enemies of the country, he has
regular and accurate information of
all the movements Of the conspirators,
and faithful maps of their entire plan
of action.
To the complaints made of SCOTS
want Of vigor and promptness, it is
answered that he can do nothing with
out an army. He knows that an ar.
my must require something besides
mere numbers of men. He is taking
the best means in his power to make
soldiers out of the volunteers who, in
many instances, are raw and incxpe'
rienced lcvics. But there are a thou
sand things to be cared for before an
army can be prudently set in the field
for action, and especially for aggres
sive operations. One thing that lis
essential and indispensable, is a good
commissariat, and also proper santa
ny appliances and means.

Fort PickenS.

The public attention begins to turn
toward Fort Pickens as the first point
where deadly struggle between the
loyal forces and the rebels will occur
1t is eviden. the traitors have nearly
completed their arrangements for
final onslaught. In the meanwhile the
United States have reinforced the
Fort. The walls of Fort Pickens have
been covered with sand bags, the
guns are in the most commanding po-
sition to menace every threatened
point, and large squadron of United
States vessels, not destined to be
mere spectators of the conflict, have
been brought forward. The guns from
these vessels can sweep the neck of
the peninsula, at whose extremity the
Fort is situated. A most bloody en-
gagemcnt will have to be fought be-
fore the Confederate rag" floats in
triumph over the walls of Fort Pick
ems.
Since the above was in type we
learn that the rebels are withdrawing
their forces from Fort Pickens. They
have probably found it to be such a
mean place and the Federal troops
such contemplate fellows that South
crn gentlemen" ought to avoid them!
A gentleman at Philadelphia from
Pensacola, says Gen. Bragg has sixty
mortars bearing point blank upon Fl
Pickens. Nevertheless, Gen. Bragg
does not deem it advisable to attemp
the capture Of Fort Pickcns, and til
project has been deferred indefnitely.
