Letter from Hon. Geo. E. Cole.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 16, 1866

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 16, 1865.
EDS. STANDARDIZATION paper Of Nov.
10th has reached me containing the letter
of Mr. Bancroft, replying to the charge Of
"imbecility" in the management of the
Yakima Indian Reservation, contained in
my letter published in your columns. The
standard of Dec 9th is before me which
endorses Mr.. Bancroft as being faithfully
and efficiently discharging the duties of his
Agency when removed" 1t would have
been we'll for Mr. Bancroft to have let the
charitable charge of imbecility stand as the
true and only cause Of his removal, as L
would prefer sparing him from the publlca-
tion of all the charges preferred against
him. He says "the financial condition of
the Agency has greatly improved under his
management, and its credit with both the
employees and the Indians greatly improved;
"and in the matter of finance [ add | have
defrauded the Government neither directly
nor indirectly, and defy friend or foe to
show that have taken anything from the
Government that was pot strictly my due" ."
How much the credit of the Agency has
improved, of course have not the means Of
knowing. enclose a copy of letter in
my possession, showing what means were re-
sorted to by Mr.. B. to Improve the credit OF
the Agency among the Indians.

A correspondent of the Mountaineer, wri-
ting from Umatilla, says that horses which
are so poor that they cannot possibly carry a
person through to the mines, are selling at
the rate of SIS to S100 each. Seats in the
stage are engaged long time ahead, and it
is almost impossible to get through.
This being the case, persons bound Boise
wards will both save time and money by
coming by Walla Walla. Good horses can
be bought here at little more than half the
above figures, and when it SO happens that
the stages are full, other modes of convey
ance to the mines can generally be found

FROM MEXICO.

rne Juarez1sts were reported to be making
great havoc in Sonora and Sinaloa. Juarez is
said to be at Chihuahqa
Some fifty emigTants, pretendingto to have come
from Missouri, had landed at Orizaba, and report
that 20, 900 to 25, 900 more are coming from the
United States to buy lands and settle.
New York, March 9.-The Worlds Washing
ton special dispatch says: Senator Gwin recent
y stated that his departure for Paris was caused
by information he had received from trustworthy
sources, that the province Of Sonora had been
ceded to France by a secret treaty, which would
not be made public until after the paci6cation
of Mexico by the French He went to Paris to
arrange plans for colonization, and to form an
alliance with California and Sonora for the En-
peror.
The Emperor Macmillan, according to adyi-
ces received to-day, has granted a special audi
ence to Mr. Peter Campbell Scarlet, envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipotentiary of Her
Majesty, the Queen of England. Mr.. Scarlet
presented the Emperor of Mexico with several
autograph letters from Queen Victoria.
The first of these letters is a formal one, ac-
cepting the Mexican Minister. The second one
is repetition of the first, but is addressed to
the Empress Charlotte, my best beloved sister
The third is an acknowledgment of a letter sent
by the Emperor to the Queen in June last, in
forming her officially of his accession to the
throne of Mexico The Queen expresses her in
terest in the welfare of Mexico. Her belief in
the establishment of the empire, is the beginning
of new and happy era for the country.
She congratulates the Emperor on his eleva
tion, closing with the usual expression of diplo-
matte courtesy.

A VALID ExcUsE.-The radical Aboli-
tionists have of late had no good excuse to
offer for not enlisting to fight against the
shareholders most unholy rebellion, and in
favor of freedom and the most benefcent
government on earth JEFF. Davis has now
furnished them a valid excuse as he will en-
list 800, 900 negroes for his service. The
radicals can't go into the Federal service
now because if they should go they would
be compelled to fight their "SOuthern breth-
ren." That excuse will be sufficient cause
for honorable exemptions from the military
service-it lets them out, and the rebellion
will have to be squelched at last without
their aid; it's manifest destiny"
, 1865-03-17

1000 MoRE.-The Confederate Con-
gress, it appears from the dispatches, has
finally settled the question of enlisting ne
groes for the reoel service, by passing bill
authorizing the enlisting of 100000 Of
them The bill leaves the matter for future
legislation to determine whether the negroes
shall go free at the expiration of their term
of service or be retuned to their owners
But the presumption is that most of them
will be either killed in the war or crippled
so that they will be useless to their masters,
and hence the question of their future
status will be settled without much legisla-
tion. If the blacks shall prove to be as val
liant warriors as the radicals have always
claimed them to be, this additional force Of
100000 of them added to the Confederate
armies will make the rebel power still a
formidable institution. But when this new
supply of negro janizaries becomes exhaust
ed, the rebels will still have a reserve corps
of several hundred thousand of them to
put in the field If the slaves are efficient
warriors, so much the worse for the North,
for the war will be of longer duration then
there can be no doubt We have said from
the beginning that whenever the Confedrates
began to feel their strength waning they
-.~~aI1 ss.l;ss viIeir slaves, Hud those VINO
have persistently ridiculcd the idea will soon
find that we were correct in the prediction.
Some have said to US, go, the negroes will
not fight for slavery, they know what free
dom is-they have all heard of the Emanci-
patton Proclamation" Now, we never had
any great faith in the fighting qualities Of
the negroes, but believe the slaves viii fight
for the rebels, against freedom, with all the
efficiency and zeal that they are capable Of
exercising. But time will settle this ques
tion and we think it will settle the question
also that the negro is not the equal of the
white as a warrior, as he is not his equal in
other respects.

i TIE New Ia Bill.

The dispatches give the following as some
Of the features of the new Tax Bill, passed
at the late session of Congress
On all incomes exceeding six hundred dol
lars, tax of five per cent; on all over five
thousand, tax of ten per cent The tax
on cigars is fixed at ten dollars per thousand,
without regard to price or quality, instead of
so much per pound on all tobacco manufac-
tured purely from the leaf A tax of forty
cents per pound on smoking tobacco, and
tobacco manufactured from stems, etc., 25c.
per pound after July 1866. There is to be
levied a tax of ten per cent. on all the
State bank circulation from the 1st of next
May The savings banks are one half of
one per cent. on their deposits. On petro-
leum the tax is finally fixed at one dollar
per barrel Of thirty gallons. No drawback
is allowed whatever when the petroleum is
exported In the Oath section of the old
revenue law, an increased tax of 20 per ct.
is levied on every article of the schedule
named in it,
This includes all kinds of manufactures,
and the old law with this 20 per cent added,
will be the new standard of taxation.
The stamp tax is so amended as to make
every written instrument void without its
proper stamp The following failed to be
incorporated in the new law, being lost by a
wide tax of half of one per cent. on sales.
The tax on cotton was stricken out, the Sen.
ate refusing to concur, unless drawbacks
were given on manufactured articles. Both
houses agreed to the appointment of Com
missiOners to act during the recess to exam
ine.into the subject of taxation.
