Indian Supply Train.

Capt. WHITNEY of the Sixth regiment,
who was in command of the Indian sup
ply train to the Missouri, arrived in this
city Saturday night, having left his COM
mand few days. march beyond Mankato.
We learn from Col. Crooks, that the
whole escort will probably arrive at Man
kato Tuesday. One man was left behind at
Sioux City. His toes were frozen SO Sc
verely that he could not march. With this
exception the whole escort was in good
health, and suffered much less from the
weather than was expected.

to its extreme northern valley, the Sioux
will soon sue for peace and accept such
terms as the interests of the border and
the policy of the government NAV dictate
Since Capt. Fisk's proposed new route
10 Idaho has attracted public attention. il
has been understood that Gen. Miller. and
perhaps Others of the army officers of this
district, have been and are in favor of
shortening the line of border defense, and
establishing base of operations nearer to
the hunting grounds of the Sioux, by max
ing a line OF temporary military posts from
Fort Abercrombie to permanent military
post on the Missouri at Old Rec Village.
or other favorable point for crossing that
river. 1t is believed that the result ofthis
would be to keep the Indians north of that
line, and to give better base for offensive
operations during the summer and fall. If.
In addition to this, such permanent posts
are established to the west of the Missouri

summer campaign-which need not in
clude, in all, force of more than two
thousand men-those in the field, to be

present Administration to carry out with
the Sioux its purpose of locating these In
dians upon limited territory where they
can be controlled and watched by small
forces of military.
With probability of bloody war be-
tween the miners of Idaho and the Crows
breaking out in the spring, and need of
protection there for miners and settlers. as
shown by the many murders the Grows
have committed upon the whites the last
year, the proposition to establish line of
military posts from Fort Abercrombie to
the head Of the Yellowstone, becomes Of
the greatest Importance in military point
Of view, aud will no doubt receive proper
consideration. AS Gen. Miller takes his
place as Governor of Minnesota this week,
the public will look to his Inaugural with
interest in his suggestions in connection
with this subject.
1t is somewhat pertinent to the subject
that if this plan be adopted it will relieve
the country at once from one trouble
growing out of Indian hostility, by making
1t safe for emigrants to move upon direct
route to the mines, in parties properly
organized; and then, if the Government
continues to protect emigrants across the
country, we may hope to see Capt. Fisk
lead a thousand men from. Ridgley or
Abercrombie, by his proposed new route,
to the gold lands of Idaho.

Baltic Flag of the Fifth Regiment

The following letter from Colonel Hun.
BARD, of the Fifth Regiment, needs no
other remark than to inform the public
that the flag referred to may be seen at
the Office of the Adjutant General:

La Grange, Tenn, Dec. IA, 1868.
Col. Oscar Malmros, Adj. Gen. N'nnesofd:
CoIoNEI-I herewith transmit for deposit at
the HEADQUARTERS of the State, the old flag of
| the Fifth Regiment, we having been furnished
| by Government with new stand OF colors.
The officers and men of the regiment part
with the tattered remains of their battle-stained
flag with emotions of the most profound re-
gret. There is not soldier of the command
but what feels for this relic of past campaigns
sincere and devoted affection. 1t has been
borne by them on an hundred weary marches,
and carried in triumph through the fierce con-
fict of many hard fought fields. Its numerous
rents are the evidence of its presence at the
two battles of Corinth, at Jackson, at the siege
and fierce assault of Vicksburg, at Mechanics
burg and Richmond. Its soiled and faded folds
tell of the dozen campaigns through which it
has been borne during the two years service of
the egiment. To the veterans who are left.
this flag is memento of the mournful, vet glo
rious memory, of their four hundred comrades
who have fallen or become disabled by the cas-
ualties of war.
A board OF officers convened by order of Gen.
Grant, "to investigate the claims of different
regiments to honorable mention for meritorious
services" authorized the Fifth Minnesota In.
fairy to place the following inscriptions on its
flag:
"siege of Corinth."
"Corinth, Oct. & 4, 1852"
jackson"
"Vicksburg, Siege and Assault"
"Red Wood"

In the two latter, though but detachment
of the regiment was engaged, yet. in view of
the character of the actions and the loss sus
tanned the inscriptions were authorized. The
battle before Corinth, May %, 1862. being con.
sidered part of the "Siege of Corinth," and
also the actions at Richmond and Mechanics.
burg part of the Siege of Vicksburg," no
separate inscriptions for either of those actions
were allowed to any of the troops engaged.
Though the soldiers of the regiment part
with their old banner with pang of regret, yet
they feel some degree of pride and satisfaction
in presenting to the State this record of their
services.

The Draft.

The following dispatch was received
Tuesday by Capt. SAUNDERS. 1t is an an.
swer to one sent by him, informing the
Department that the quotas had not yet
been assigned by the Adjutant General,
and that he was not ready to proceed
with the draft
- WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 1864.
Capt. TN. SAUNDERS, A. A. P. Nj. G.:
Do not commence the draft until you get
specific orders from here.
(SigneD JAMES B. FRY,
Provost Marshal General.
As soon as the reports from the towns
are received and compared, the computa-
tons made, and the respective quotas as
signed, the Department will be informed
that the proper officers are ready to pro-
coed with the draft. The public will be
notified of the day and hour when it will
take place, through the newspapers, as re-
quired by law. Voluntary enlistments will
be received up to the day Of the draft
and credited to their respective towns or
wards. We may express the opinion, al
though it is not based on official informa-
ton, that at least ten days will elapse be-
fore the draft is ordered, which will afford
time for many, if not all the towns, to clear
themselves of the draft by raising sufi-
cient number of volunteers to fill their

NEWS OF OUR OWN STATE.

The weather was never colder here than on
New Years. Mercury forty degrees below
zero.-Anoko Star, I'd.
COLD WEATHER.-Within the past week we
have had some of the coolest weather we have
had for a long time before. On Thursday the
Thermometers indicated the temperature at 20
deg below O. and on yesterday morning it was
down to 80. That is much colder than it was
at any time last winter, and it is to be hoped
that it will not drop any lower.-Shakopee
argus, I'd.
WE clip the following items from that ex
cellent local paper, the Mankato argus:
DEATH OF AN AGED ClrIzEN.-Mr. Wagner,
citizen of this place, aged about 81 years. died
on Thasday night last.
VENIsoN.-In the early part of this week,
Capt. A. NJ. Hollns killed two fine deer on the
other side of the Minnesota about four miles
from Mankato. A number of Others have been
killed in this vicinity during the present winter
Mr.. Asa White returned, several days ago,
from the Upper Mississippi, with thirteen large

STRIKE AMONG TRANSMISSION Thursday
morning, when the teams loaded with prOvi-
sions and supplies were ready to start from this
place to the relief of Captain Whitney's COM
mand, returning from the Missouri river, the
teamsters refused to leave until they had re
| ceived their pay. These men were brought
here week or two ago from Fort Smelling
and before starting from that post demanded
their pay in the same manner, which they re-
ceived up to the first of December, SO that
there is but one months pay now due them.
Not having the money on hand. Captain Nc.
Kusick could not pay them, and was compelled
| to hire other teamsters, which delayed the
starting of the relief train until Friday morn
ing.
DECIDEDLY CooL-Thursday was decidedly
the most dsagreeable day we have ever expe-
rienced in Minnesota. The thermometer rang
ed from twenty to thirty degrees below zero,
and the wind blew a gale. A number of per.
sons had their toes, noses and ears frosted.
Friday the thermometer stood thirty-twO
degrees below zero, and remained below the
latter point all day.

these parties in charge at La Crosse and

not positively known that these men were
engaged in the robbery, bu. their actions
had been such, for few days previous to
their arrest, as to fasten suspicion strong,

to escape from the Sheriff of La Crosse

the contents of revolver he abandoned
the effort.

On the Goth ult. there were one hun

Indian Campaign of 1864.

The Sioux war is by no means ended,
and the suffering and destitut on of the
different bands, who were driven frem
their hunting grounds, or otherwise de-
prived of their usual means Of supply for
the winter, by the operation of the last
campaign, is hindrance to hostilities on
their part that may not last beyond the
cold weather. The Indian wardrobe and
Indian larder are easily supplied when tho
winter is gone. In view, therefore, of the
necessity for active operations against the
Sioux nation this coming summer, it is to
be presumed that the commander of this
military department, with his subordinate
commanders of this State, has under CON-
sideration' if he has not already adopted,
some plan of campaign which looks to re-
establish the authority of the government
over the revolted tribes, and to securing
the people of the border from any further
danger or fear of Indian invasion. The
experience of the past two years may and
probably will suggest that, perhaps, the
easiest and quickest way to conquer the
Indians, is, while maintaining sufficient
guard upon the exposed border,-to pene-
trate, seize and hold the country now oc-
cupied by them, driving them from the
fertile plains and valleys to the sands and
mountains north. Once dispossessed O.

Brisk Times at Fort Smelling.

The old Fort was never more lively than
at present. Major McLAREN, the COM
mandant, informs US that there are now
within the walls and in the adjacent build
ings, between seventeen and eighteen hun
dred soldiers, besides a large number of
men, who have arrived within few days
past to enlist in the new cavalry regiment,
but were too late to get in as companies,
and are now scattering into various organ
izations Of cavalry, artillery and infantry
which are there represented by recruiting
officers. The twelve companies are full
to the minimum, and some have the maxi
mum number. Commissions have been
issued since our last report to the follow
ing officers of the regiment:
Cdptain-Jacob Mix of Brown county.
First Lieutenant-Henry w. Brigham of Rice

Second Lieutenant George B. Tomlinson.
Cdptdn-Isaac Bonham of Winona county.

Dover, Olmsted county.
Captain-John c. Henly, Sunrise, Chisago
county.
First Lieutenant Patrick j. Gardner, of st..
Peter.
Second lieutenant Francis c. Griswold, of
Hastings.
We understand that the Adjutant Gen
eral has applied to the War Department
for permission to raise, another battalion
of four companies of cavalry to be at
tached to the Second regiment, but it is
scarcely expected that the requisite au-
thority will be granted, as the Depart
ment deems it of the first Importance that
our old regiments shall be filed.
Recruiting for the old regiments is going
on vigorously. Some Of the officers have
been remarkably successful, and we have
no doubt that if the draft could be stayed
for month or two, that our quota couli
easily be filled by volunteers
