The Minnesota Indian War.

J. w. Taylor, formerly of Ohio and
now of st. Paul, one of the Rcciproc.
ity Treaty commissioners. gentle
man. Of xtensive information. aud IN
whose opinions we have much epnG:s
dence, has written to the St Pail
Press, that in Ills Judgment the pres
-ent outbreak will involve thcsswhcse
Sioux nation, and is not to be regards
cd as an accidental or predatory
movement of few rowing savages,
but as deliberate conspiracy Of the
whole tribe ---- 1850
The Dacotah or Sioux nation is the
most powerful and warlikc body of
Indians on the continent. Their hos
tility to the whites, particularly OFT
and beyond the Missouri river. has
been frequently represented to the
government and on the near frontier
we have had, in the Inkpadatah mass
sacrc and the riots at the annual pay
ments, proof that war might be-
precipitated by the most fortuitous cir
cnmstance. The rumors Of our war,
the delay of the annuity payments
anu tnc siauShtci at nStoh, uaNC dit
combined to one dreadful result, and
Mr.. Taylor anticipates nothing but
that the whole Dakotah nation, where.
ever scattered, will be involved in it.
The area from which they exclude all
other Indian tribes is 100000 square
miles, five times size of Ohio. Their
total population is 10000, with 5000
warriors, of whom half live in the
vicinity Of the Black Hills, west Of
the Missouri river. The Minnesota
Dakotahs number G, 200 or l, 240 war;
riors, of whom 500 have engaged or
will engage in the present war. The
Yanktons and Yanktonnais occupy
the most of the territory between the
western boundary of Minnesota and
Missouri river. The Yanktons num-
bcr2 $50, or SIC warriors. The Yank-
tonnais number 6,400, or 1880 war;

ington, Baltimore, Harrisburg and
Philadelphia laughed at the mere
mention of danger. How is it with
them now
According to our view the Govern
ment should everywhere arm the peo-
pie, and let us, every man of us, be-
como war-like people, ready at all
times to assert and defend our rights
Give us the arms and give us thor.
ough military training. This is de-
mandcd by the cxigencies of the
times.
(. We had written thus much when
our eye fell upon an article in the n
Y. Evening Post in which the writer
advocates the plan of putting all the
able bodied men of the Nation under
military drill, and says this should be
made imperative by the proper au
thorities. He adds .
"To effect 1t business should DC
suspended at fixed hour of the day,
and all citizens of the description
named placed under drill scrgeants
In the country the people should be
required To organize in the township
and subdivisions of townships, and
learn military evolutions.
"Thc advantages of this proceeding
are obvious first, it would give us
an inexhaustable reserve to draw
from second, it would strengthen
the confidence of the nation third, it
would strengthen the military spirit
fourth, it would put off foreign inter.
position.

from utter destruction competent
generals, and a nation under arms

Colonel Tom Stackpole was appointed
Captain General of the White House
grounds by ex-President Pierce, which po'
stion be still holds. He was recently met
by Major Ben B. French, the Superintend
ent of Public Buildings, who cautiously in-
formed him that certain politicians were
after his situation, and were about to re-
port him as secessionist, aud advised the
Colonel to be upon the lookout.
q few days after, these worthy sons OF
New Hampshire again met, when Ben in'
qured of the Colonel whether he had
thought of the matter.
Eyes" replied Tom, "I've thought of it,
and concluded not to trouble myself about
it at all"
"Why don't you ?" asked the Major ;
"they II have you out"
"Oh," said Tom, tive consulted law
yer, and he tells me not to have any fears
about it they can't start me-"
"Consultad lawyer ?" returned Ben ;
swell, who was it that gave you such ad
vice as that p
SWELL" said Tom, ats one Of the smart
est lawyers in the city. He came from Hi
nois, and his name is-Lincoln. He Gays
needn't re raid-they can't hurt me-"
Mr.. French now thinks that the Colonel
will not be removed. World.
