Railroad Lands.

We were in error the other day in sta
ting that the lands of the St. Paul and
Pacific Railroad Company were being locd-
ted. They are being examined prepare
tory to being offered for sale. They were
located in 1857, and have been greatly en-
HANGED in value by reason of the settle
ments since made upon the alternate or
even sections reserved by the Government,
and many of them are now surrounded by
cultivated farms. They will be ready for
sale, we are informed, early in November.
A fine opportunity is offered to emf
grants and others to buy good lands along
the line of the railroad and within an
hours ride of ST Paul Along the valley
of the Mississippi, the Rum river, Elk and
Grow rivers, every variety Of timbered,
grass, prairie and oak opening lands may
be obtained TO suit the taste or convenience
of purchasers. We understand that it is
the intention of the company to sell to ac-
tual settlers partly Oh credit. We predict
q rapid sale, and large demand for them.

The Indian War.

From dispatches which Gen. PORE re-
ceived Friday night from Col. SIBIEY, it
appears that the Indian war, so far as the
Lower Sioux are concerned, is about at an
end. With The exception of scarcely half
dozen lodges, who still remain with LITTLE
Crow, the entire force of Indians belong
ing to the lower bands have surrendered to
Gov SrBLEY, and he has, we learn, up
wards of two thousand prisoners. A por-
ton of the SissitOnS, under SLEEPY-EYEs,
have left for the Coteau Prairie, towards
the Big Sioux River These Indians are
those who are supposed to have committed
the murders at Lake Shetek and other
places near the Iowa line A force of
mounted men are already in pursuit, and
will no doubt soon capture them and the
Yanktons, or Cut-Heads, who have been
mixed mp in these affairs, and who have
been more particularly concerned in the
attacks on Fort Abercrombie and the
murders on Red River.
Twenty Indians have been convicted, in
Guiding the negro, who confessed that he
killed eight in one family. The number of
prisoners taken is estimated at two thous-
and, fifteen hundred of whom are at Yellow
Medicine

What MIR. NicOlay says Of the ln-
dian War.

A Tribune dispatch from Washington
says: "John G. Nicolay, the Presidents
private secretary, who has just returned
from Minnesota, where he has been spend
ing six or eight weeks, regards the Indian
war as already serious, and likely to be-
come more so if other Sioux tribes should
be drawn into it, as is not impossible. The
State authorities compute that more than
a Thousand warriors are in arms; that ten
or twelve Of the most fertile and inviting
counties have been depopulated, at least
400 persons massacred, and vast amount
Of private property destroyed or carried
Off The panic extended within ten miles
of St. Paul, and large numbers of people
who lived within forty miles abandoned
their homes If, however, the rising does
not extend to the other disatfected tribes
who roam over the country as far as the
Rocky Mountains, it will soon be put
down.

General Butler, on the 10th ult., took
three companies of troops to surprise the
-illage of Pontchetoula, the headquarters
of the rebel general jeff. Thompson, forty
eight miles north of the city, on the line
of the Jackson railroad. The attempt at
surprise failed, but the command routed
the rebels and captured the place after a
smart action, set fire to train of upwards
of twenty cars laden with cotton, sugar,
molasses, &C., and took the papers from
the post and telegraph offices, destroying
the apparatus in the latter, and took jeff.
Thompson's sword, spurs, bride, &C., from
his quarters in the hotel. The sword was
presented to him by the sO-called Memphis
patriots.

Mem bers Of Congress and the Income
Tax.

A very handsome sum will be realized
to the Government from the tax upon the
salaries of members of the House Of Rep
resentatives. Each member is taxed six
dollars a month, or seventytwo dollars
per year. The Speaker, whose salary is
double that of member, will be taxed
$144 The next House will consist of 1917
members and z delegates-in all 2O4. The
aggregate amount realized from this source
alone will be $1,216 a month, or $14,52O
a year. The yearly amount of revenue
derived from taxation of salaries of en-
ployes now in the House of Representa-
tives will be 81, 4S8 Sc, which amount will
be further augmented during the session of
Congress by taxation upon salaries of ad-
ditional employees.

The Address of the loyal Governors to the
President is printed on another page. 1t as
sures Mr.. Lincoln of unqualified support in all
lawful measures for the suppression OF the re-
belliOn; ofhearty acquiescence in all laws pass
ed or that may be passed to preserve the life OF
the nation; most heartily indOrses the Eman-
cipation Proclamation and demands the extinc-
ton of slavery as war necessity, advises the
raising of 100, 900 reserves after the acquisitions
already made are filled; and thanks our brave
officers and soldiers for their heroic sacrifices in
the cause of the Republic. This address-the
official result of the much abused meeting at
AltOOna--is the most conclusive answer to- the

the rebel-sympathising press of the North.

ed to the President? The address was
well enough in its way, and conlmon-p place
as possible in all but the rhetoric of Gov
ernor Andrew, gentleman who is reput-
ed in Boston to have "ideas," and who
consequently becomes impressively elo-
quent on insufficient provocation.
The plain truth is, the meeting of Gov
errors, while it does not seem productive
of harmful consequences, did not do the
slightest particle of good. The meeting
was not demanded, and has done nothing.
If it had attempted to do anything, the re-
suit would have been mischievous. M
There was plenty for all the Governors
to do at home, and they would do well
hereafter to confine themselves to thei,
legitimate business, recognizing the fact
that outside of their respective State Capt..
tails and State affairs, they are officially
nobodies. We hope never to hear of any
more caucusing by Northern Governors. Il
