Our dates from the Legislature are not
very late. We learn from the Register that
the Federal Tax Bill has passed the Senate
The Bill authorizing the issue of Warrants OF
various denominations on the War and De-
Tense Fund and making them receivable for
taxes was passed. The Bill requiring official
bonds to be recorded the Bill to provide for
the canvassing of votes in special elections;
the Bill for empowering Boards Of Supervi-
sors to create several voting precincts in
townships of 1000 or more voters, were
passed.
In the House Mr. Price offered a concur
rent resolution that the General Assembly
will adjourn on the 18th Of March, which
was laid upon the table. The joint resolu-
ton offered by Mr.. Dunlavy and amended by
the committee to whom it was referred, and
which instructs our congressman to use their
efforts to secure the passage Of law lessen
ing the pay of our officers in the army thirty
three and one-third per cent. and applying
the amount saved to the pay of private SOL
diers was adopted. The Bill for exempting

debated in the House. Judging from the
tone of these debates, We give it as our opin-
ion that the Bill will be lost. The opposition
members take the ground that it is not just
to discriminate in favor of certain classes Of
industry at the expense of others.

War and Rumors Of War.

From Ship Island, at the mouth of the
Mississippi there is no news of Importance.
The troops are all healthy, and the fortified.
tons are speedily progressing towards COM
pie4ion. Several U. S. vessels were there and
had captured British ship engaged in car
rying supplies to the rebels .@T
From Port Royal the accounts are more
interesting than usual. Preparations were
being made to attack Fl. Pulaski, which is
said to be in as bad condition as was Sum-
ter. F. jackson is also to be taken, and Sa-
vannah will then be attacked. The rebels
have withdrawn large number Of troops
from Charleston and Port Royal to Savannah.
Twelve thousand troops were getting ready
to 60 into Savannah river, and twelve thou
sand were to take the railroad and thence to
Charleston. Our forces were advancing every
day, and were enthusiastic and confident
We shall expect thrilling news from that
quarter before long.
At F. Henry, on the 18th there were 3d.
900 Federal troops, and heavy reinforcements
were constantly arriving. A" forward move
ment" from that point will soon be heard
from. ...
The Nashville papers of the 9Th say that
Generals Beauregard and Pillow were there
and they are full of what the former is going
to do at columbus. ''+. '.. .sa.
The latest advices at Cumberland were that
Lander is about twenty miles on the other
side of Romney; and that General Banks had
moved his column so as to cut off the retreat
Of the rebels. Lander is said to have about
%, 200 men, and Banks II 900, while the en-
closed rebel force is about $4,000. Lander
believes that the whole rebel column will be
bagged, or be obliged to scatter and 4" skedad-

We have reports through Southern sources
ofanother cannonading at Fl. Pickcns. Moth

The greatest activity prevails at Fl. Leav-
enworth in preparing for the southern expe-
dition to start from there under command Of
Gen. Hunter. An early advance will be made
into Secessia.
The telegraph hash thatan important CON-
mand in Texas will be rendered to Fremont,
and says the troops assigned him will be ex-
clusively German. We give the rumor for
what it is worth.
Our news from Missouri is cheering. Price
and his rebel horde have been routed from
Springfield, with great loss of military stores
and equipase. We have not the particulars
of the engagement. On the 14th, the follow
ing dispatch was forwarded from st. Louis,
to Gen. MCCLELLAN:
"The Flag of the Union now floats over the

From Fort Randall.
FoRr RANDALL, DAKOTA TERRIToRY,
January 9th, 1862.

January 9th, 1862. I
EDITORS GAZETTE: There is so little varie-
ty in our Fort Randall life, that there seems
to be but little to write about that promises
to be of much interest to the readers Of your
paper; and, in the absence of anything new
or interesting concerning the troops here, |
will attempt to give you brief insight into
the condition of Indian affairs in this region.
There are two Indian agencies here. One
is on the cast side Of the river, and is called
"The Yanktown Agency" The other is on
the west side of the Mississippi, and is called
"Punkaw Agency" The Indians belonging
to the Yanktown Agency are portion of the
Sioux tribe. The Agency is situated upon
the "Indian Reservation" and all Indians
who receive pay from the Government are ex-
pected to live upon this reserve and to be sub
ject to the control of the Agent. suppose
the number of "nativcs" belonging to the
Yanktown land is not far from three thou
sand, although they are of such rowing
disposition that it is impossible to ascertain
the exact number. When payday comes
there is no scarcity of them, all being on
hand, and many presenting themselves who
are not seen at any other time. This band
receives from "Uncle Samuel" sixty five
thousand dollars per annum. A portion of
this they receive in gold, and the remainder
in clothing and provisions. believe it is
one of the objects of these Agencies to en-
deavor to civilize the Indians, to some extent,
and get them interested in farming and such
other pursuits as generally occupy the minds
of civilized beings. But, so far as my obser
walton goes, this attempt has thus far proved
almost an entire failure, and am forced to
the conclusion that "Injins" will be "Injins !"
under whatever circumstances you may put
them. A gerry .ts,o Of them have been induc-
ed to cultivate small patches of ground, with
the view Of raising something to subsist upon,
but large proportion of them seem to be
proof against all attempts toward civilization,
and still retain all the wild traits so peculiar
to the North American Indian. The men
seem to consider themselves entirely too good
to do any manner Of work, and such labor as
becomes absolutely necessary for their exist
ence, is performed by the squaws. The In
dian here, like other Indians, make perfect
slaves of their squaws, and appear to think
that the Almighty created woman simply for
two purposes: one, to perpetuate the race;
and the other, to perform the drudgery Of the
men. If I might have the privilege Of "mor-
alizing" here little, l would say that
think this annuity business is, SO far as the

Publication of Delinquent Tax Lists Again.

x-uUuCauOn Oh 4cAAQu : a. ASASto xaS asa
We see that Hartley Bracewell Of Wayne
county, has introduced to the Legislature "A
bill for an act TO abolish the law providing
for the publication Of delinquent tax lists. p
At the last session of the Legislature theprict
for publishing delinquent taxes was reduced
just one.half. Now the wise-acres are fol
doing away with the law even which requires
such delinquent taxes to be published. The
plea is we must resrench! We must econ.
omize - Poor souls! how patriotic! how
very anxious to keep all other noses except
their own out of the public crib 4! There arc
men in every legislative body who labor un.
der the impression that they must manags
to introduce bill or bust; and such men
generally manage to bust in introducing q
bill. The question to be decided isjust here
Is the county press Of this State worthy Of
support? If"nov then by all means take
away from it the county patronage. II
eyes y then do not remove its main prop.
If these men who upon every possible &C.
casion institute a war upon the press have
for their object retrenchment and reform we
do not envy them their common sense. II
the object is to kill off as many as possible,
we do not envy them their manhood.
The law providing for the collection. Of
taxes is not stringent enough; but to abolish
the law providing for the publication of de-
linquent tax lists is but to make bad matters
worse. We believe the publication Of these
lists an advantage 10 the county, as it is an
incentive to taxpayers to meet promptly
their obligations. We want an increase Of
incentives, not an adjustment Of those We
have.
Now, Solons Of Iowa. ify you wish to remove
evils and institute reforms, it is necessary
that you possess sufficient judgment to de-
termine wherein evil exists But here is the
way we account for your strange action in
this regard: Some of you are death on the
press, for some reason, perhaps political
reason, and under the cloak of rctrenchment
you wage n ceaseless war upon it. In the
last two years you have tried to take from it
every vestige of public patronage. Now we
believe you that are figuring in this war on
the press are hypocrites. While your pre-
text is retrenchment your real object is mere
ly some personal matter. Perhaps you do
not relish the idea of being advertised as not
having paid your taxes, nor to pay the PEN
atty of being so advertised. Perhaps you do
considerable having and dislike to pay the
printers fees. Perhaps you want to start a
"'stray paper at the Capital. At least we
feel assured there is some perhaps" about
it. Do any of you who war upon the press
ever advocate reduction in fees where it
will effect your own pockets? Never Re-
member that consistency is jewel. We
don't expect grea: deal from you, but We
beseech Of you to exercise your best endcav-
ors to be common-sensed in your legislation.

The War.

The Federal forces are now fairly at work,
and every succeeding mail brings us the IT,
dings of some important victory gained
/" Forward movements" are now the rage,
and two months work as well put in as has
been that of the last one, will wind up the
rebellion. At all points arc the traitors re-
ceiying a practical answer to the question,
"Will Northern men fght?" The answer if
not pleasant, is certainly convincing. Every
thing is working with the regularity Of clock
work, and every tick tells heavily against re-
bcllion. We believe that this is the first un-
folding of the anaconda" plan, which so
many have made light Of. Some say it is
all owing to tho new Secretary of War, but
it seems as though little reflection would
dissipatc that idea. Even though he had the
disposition he could not have concentrated
forces at the points, where they have gained
such signal victories in the short time he has
been in power. Long before Mr. Cameron
withdrew, some power was at work arranging
details, placing troops, and furnishing them
with all the paraphernalia Of battle, with
view of accomplishing the very objects that
have been realized within the past few weeks.
The disposition Of forces at different points,
and the preparing them to strike blows in
concert, has been the work of months. 1t
would have been impossible for the new Sec
rotary of War to have done this during his
short reign. Mr. Stanton has thus far proved
himself a fit man for the position he holds,
but we believe that the credit of our recent
successes belong to Gen. Mcclellan. The
anaconda" plan is slow but sure and if it
now wins the people will be as readyto praise
As they have been to find fault. 3.
