DEFENCE OF WASHINGTON AND ORSGO TEARITORIES. In view of the interest attached to our distant territories on the Pacific, as well from the gold dis- coveries there and on Fraser river as from the hos- tility of the Indians, the following suggestions for the military defence of those regions, made thirty-four years sinee by Quartermaster General Jessup to the father of the present Secretary of War, then a member of the House of Representatives, cannot fail to be interesting:— Wasninorow Crry, April 7, 1824. Hon. Joun Fioyp, House of Representatives:— Sim—In reply to your letter, dated the 30th ultimo, requesting me to communicate “ any facta, views or opinions which may have presented themselves to me, relative to the probable difficalty of making an establishment at the mouth of Columbia river, and the military advantages of that establishment,” | have the honor to remark, that ever since my atten- tion was first directed to the subject I have considered the possession aad the military command of the Columbia necessary, not only to the protection of the fur trade, but to the security of our western frontier. That flank of our country exteuding from the lakes to the Gulf of Mexico is everywhere in contact with numerous, powertul aod warlike In- dian nations, who, altogether, might be able to briog into the field from twenty to thirty thousand war- Tiors. Most of those nations communicate either with the British to the north and west, or the Spa- niards to the south. In the event of war tat force, with a few hundred foreign troops, or unde the in- fluence of foreign companies, might be made more formidable to us than any force which Europe com- bined could oppose to us. On the other nand, if such measures be adopted as to secure a proper influ- ence over them, and, in the event of war, to com- mand their co-operation, they, with the aid of a few small garrisons, would not only afford ample pro- tection for that entire line, but would become the scourge of our enemies. The dangers to be apprehended can only be avert- ed by proper military establishments; and, whether the post at the mouth of Columbia be intended to secure our territory, protect our traders, or to cut off all communication between the Indians ahd foreign- ers, I should cousider a line of posts, exteading from the Council Bluffs entirely across the continent, ne- ceseary. Those posts should be situated, as well with a view to command the avenues through which the Indians pass from north to south, as to keep nthe communication with the establishment at the mouth of the Columbia. ’ A post should be established at the Mandan villages, because there the Missouri approaches within a short distance of the British terri- tory, aud it would have the effect of holding in check the Hudson's Bay and Northwest Compa- nies, and of controlling the Rickarees, Mandans, Minnetarees, Assinneboins and other Indians, who either reside or range on the territory east, north aad west of that point. A post at or near the head of navigation on the Missouri would control the Blackfoot Indians, pro- tect our traders, enable us to remove the British bra mn from our territory, and serve as a depot at which detachments moving towards the Columbia might either be supplied, or leave such stores as they should find it difficult to carry with them through the mountains. It might also be made a depot of trade and of the Indian Department. ‘To keep open the communication through the mountains there should be ut least one small poat at some couyenient point between the Missouri and the Columbia, and on the latter river and its trioutaries there should be at least three posts. They woold afford present protection to our traders, on the explration of the privilege granted to British sub- jects to trade on the waters of the Columbia, would enable us to remove them from our territory, aud to secure the whole trade to our own citizens. They would also enable us to preserve peace among the Indians, and in the event of a foreign war to com- mand their neutrality or their assistance, as we might thing most advivable. The posts desig- nated might be established and maintained at an additional annual expense not exceeding forty thousand dollars. By extending to these posts the system of cultivation now in opers- tion at the Conncil Bluis, the exyense of sapplying them would in a few years be greatly diminished. Molls might be erected at all the posts at a teilling expense, aad the whole country abounding in grass, all the domestic animals necessary either for labor or subsistence migh’ be snoported, This would render the establishments more secure, ond conse. quently more formidable to the Indian nations in their Vicinity. As to the proposed posts on the Columbia, it is believed they might be supplied name- a, st a low rate. Wheas may be ob- tained ot New Calivornia a adout tweoty-tive cents per bushel, 4 beef cattle at three or four dotlars Salt in any e" IY eqnaiatit required may be had atau island near the Peatasu' of California Should transportat ” obtained tur those artic es, Vessel ed by the troops ‘To obtain the desired advantages it is important, not only that we oceupy the posts designated that we commence vur operations without The British companies are wealthy and powert their establishments extend from Hudson's Bay and Lake Superior to the P: our territory. It is not to be supposed that they would surrender those advantages wit gle; and, though they should not ens ties themselves, they might render ali th that extensive region hostile. The detachment intended to occupy the the Columbia might leave the Coancil Blutts and one hundred and fifty men proceed boats and stores, and, as the country is ope abounds in grass, the remaining fifty might by Jand with the horses intended for the tr: tion across the mountains, and might drive three four hundred beeves to the Mandan villages, or to the falls of the Missouri, At one of those places the par- ties should unite and spend the winter, The latter would be preferable, because there they might be able to blish a frien intercourse wita the Biackfoot Indians, or, at events, by impressing them with an idea of the power of the nation, re- strain their depredations upon the neighboring tribes, and deter them from acts of oatrage npon our traders, They might also, during the winter, recou- noitre the sev passes through the mountains, prepare the wisions necessary to sapport them on their march, aud down the Columbia, and, if au- thorized to do so, remove from our territor a. y, ladians in path of British traders on the waters of the Missouri. would necessarily remain at or in the vicinity of their wintering ground until June, but might be oo- cupied during the months of Apri! and May in open- ing a road to the mountains and constracting bridges over the numerous streams on the route. This work performed, they might in about twenty days reach the navigable waters of Clark’s river, a branch of the Columbia, and in ten days more prenare trans portation to descend to tt destin where— after every necessary allowance fo acc. nts and et al would certainly arrive by the monta of August. The vessels em pores to transport the stores by sea might leave the United States in the month of November, and would arrive at the mouth of the Columbia in April—at least four months before the detachment from the Coancil Btuffs could reach that point—and unless the ships should be detained during that time, whieh could not be expected, the stores would be exposed to damage and depreda- tion, and, perhaps, by the time the —— should arrive, would entirely destroyed. It would, therefore, seem to me a measure of pradence that at least one company of artillery be transported with the stores. That description of force would be found necessary at the post, and the ships would afford them ample accommodations. That the route from the Council Bluffs to the mouth of Columbia is practicable has been proved by the enterprise of more than one of onr citizens. Tf no doubt presents difficulties, bat difficnities are not impoasibilivies. We have only to refer to the pages of our own history to learn that many opera tiove infinitely more arduous have been accomp ed by Americans, The march of Arnold to Quebec, or of Gen. Clark to Vincennes, during the Revola tionary war, exceeded greatly in fatigue, privation, difficulty, and danger, the proposed operation; aud T believe I may sy, without fear of contradiction, that the detachment might be supplied during the whole route with lees difficulty than io the war of 1756 was experienced in supplying the forces opera- ting under General Washington and General Bead- dock against the French and Indians on the Ohio. A post at the mouth of the Colambia is important, ‘not only in relation to the interio trader and mili tary defence of the Western section of the Union, but also in relation to the naval power of the nation. Naval power consists net in ships, bat in seamen to man them; and to be efficient, the force must always be available. The northwest coast of America is an ad mirable nursery for seamen. Many of our best sailors are formed there: without a naval station however on the Pacific, the force employed in the whale fishery, as well as in sealing and the North- west trade, would, in the event of a war with a great maritime Power, be in some measure lost to the nation. But that establishment made, it would afford a secure retreat to all onr ships and seamen in that section of the globe. And the force thus conceotrated might be used with effect against the trade, if not the fleeta or possessions, of the ene- my, in place of being driven into the Atlantic, or perhaps captured on their way. The establishment might be considered as a great bastion commanding the whole line of coast to the north and south, and it would have the same infla- ence on that line which the bastion of a work would have on its curtains; for the principles of defence are the same, whether applied to a small fortress or to a line of frontier, or even an entire section of the globe. In the one case the missiles ased are bullets aud canuvn shot, in the other ships and tlevts. | chiefs ic, many of them within | Spain and the Slave Trade.

In by an irritating injustice, but also by suppositions, our brethren of the pen’ an eloquent refutation of the error and of the calumpy,and a victorions defence of the rights of the nation and of the Queen and of the conduct of the Spanish government, proving, in a manner that precludes every doubt, the loyalty with which, on the part of Spain, the international en- gagements and trea’ have been always fulfilled, even to a greater extent than the other contracting countries could pretend to, Anabsolute silence on our part would Meretore be inexcosable, the more so a8 the foreign press, and #t ils head that of France—whilst nobly and loyally aiding the sup- pases of the cause of reason and justice—stepped forward to vindicate us, and above all to censure as it deserved the language of the orators. Besides being ourselves witnesses of the facts, and having before our eyes the material proofs of the zeal with which the Spanish authorities have not only fulfilled, bat even exceeded, their duties in maintaiuing intact the nationai honor, no one could be in a better posi- tion or have more aptitude and more right to set forth with trath to what degree error and injustice were carried in the efforts of the British Parliament to gratuitously abuse the name of our people. e reverend Bishop of Oxford was the first who, in the chamber of Lords, condemning the slave trade, ac- cused Spain of tolerance and violation of the treaties. The reverend Bishop deemed highly humanitarian and pag the inconsiderate, unjust, and almost ca- Jumnious language which he ased against our nation, as ifthe best intentions were able in any manaer to justify accusations of that kind, without the evidence ot facts, either before the doctrines of the Angiican church or before the loosest principles of universal morals. And wherein consisted that evidence? Ina petition addressed to Parliament by the whabitants of # parish in Jamaica, which the reverend Bishop was cbarged with supporting. The humanitarian inhabi- tants of that’parish. ruined in cousequenve of mea- sures which certainly the Spanish government had not introduced, and with which no individual of oar vation had anything to do, cannot patiently behold that the island of Cuba, more fortunate than Jamaica, should have pros , and be still prospering, and carry its rich prodacts to the markets of Great Britain, to rival there with their own, as though this natural effect of the mercactile movement among nations, by means of which we pay in sugar for the cotton ma- nufactures and machiuery we receive from England, constituted a privilege in our favor. The inhabi- tants of Jamaica might bave asked from the reverend Rishop of Oxford words of resignation and consola- tion becoming his high office, rather than to expose themse!ves to being accused of envy of the welfare of others, in view of the fact that in a Christian and honorable way they once enjoyed the same property to which Cuba is indebted for its prosperous condi- tion. Can our neighbors of Jamatca be ignorant of the constant efforts of our authorities, not only to pre- vent, but even to extirpate the slave trade? Canthey be ignorant that the extension and naturai character of our shores op an absolute obstacle tu herme- tically closing the importation, as it is pretended, of that kind of contraband? The treaties ovlige our government only to watch the coasts and to prevent landing. Well, the squadron of ber British Majesty was, in these latter times, engaged in the same service; and will the admirals who commanded that squadron boast themselves that their most active vigilunce, at the very mement of their occupying the most favorable points, has not been frustrated? Will they be ac- cused of complicity or tolerance because oue or an other contraband vessel escaped from their most active pursuit? And let it be observed that the government of the Queen of Spain and its zealous representatives in this island have not spared any occasion to furnish the ships of her British Majesty with whatever facilities they might be in waat of for the better success of their enterprise. But as to this point there are facts which fully answer any class of arguments. The orators of the British Parliament, like our neighbors of Jamaica, will not undertake to per- suade anybody whomsoever that the government of her Majesty, or its authorities, in our island have left untried any kind of resources in order to prevent ecm expeditions, organized in the United States for the purpose of invading our island, from landing on the coast. We hada ter number of vessels cruising along them than of the British ships destined for the service of pursuing the slave trade; and nevertheless, the most patriotic activity and zeal of our navy and officers were unable to prevent Loy from surprising Cardenas in May of 1850, and his filibustering band from treading on Spanish ground by landing at Morillo in August, 1851. But, perchance, did the governinent of Spain and | its representatives in Cuba limit themselves to em playing their own ships in the pursuit of slave- polders on the coast of the island, and to tolerate the extravagances of those of her British Majesty | for the purpose of demonstrating that all had been | the ends of ta | or done in order to realize as far as possible the treaties? The law of re- pression of 1845 prohibits the inquiry as to the origin of slaves upon the plantations, cndeayor- ing to avoid in this way, and with a pradence asjast and respectful with regard to the legitimate rights of property, as it is timely aud foreseetng with reference to the necessities of order and tranquillity of the country, the grave inconveniences of a trou blesome inquisition. Nevertheless, can the facts be ignored py anybody, either within or without the island, and still leas by those who are exercising 80 active a policy in whatever regards the slave trade, that our anthorities sacrificed all those conside rations to the jealousy of preserving inta.t the houor of our flag, by allowing plantations not only to be watched, but to be searched and their gangs counted? Can anybody be ignorant, that not satistied wit such rigorous and extreme prosecution, special forces of our army were destined to the same ob- ject with the same ardor and zeal os though the se- curity of the lives and plavtations of the coantry were at stake’ Can it be ignored that different measures of police were resorted to for the sume purpose of procuring for the government an ap- proximate data in order to eut,on Soune our planters, the aca isition of hands proceeding from the illicit traffic? Is it not notorious that the fact of a landing, however impossible to be hindered by the local authorities of unpeopied districts, or where, on account of the situation of the plantations on the coasts, Do vigilance can be exercised, lins caused the dismissal of the nis of the government! Finally, can there be imagined any greater zeal in removing whatever scruples may be suggested by the strictest: probity, than that of which our authorities gave the most unequivocal proofs by ordering to change their residence such inhabitants 0: the island whom pub- lic opinion might signalize as interested in this. or that landing, causing at the same time to leave t country those foreigners who were considered as owners or pers of those expeditions! These, then, are the proofs of loyalty with which the Spenish government and its authorities in Caba | ina loud voice answer the vnlgat tions wi the unworthy suppositions of men who, deeming themselves to possess sentiments of duty and honor, have no right to acca others, on penalty that the acensed may use the perfectly reciprocal right of reiuraing upon th the charge of falsity and calarnny. Lit be io Englund and io the Parliament of a nation which las always pretended to carry the respect for property and personal security as far even as to make it a kind of ‘iligiow worship, that these facts and thore irre fragable proofs ot a truly exaggerated zoal oul l be overlooked with which Spain showed ber: anxions for the severest fulfilment of her obligetions,as far as even to impore on herself the most painful sa crifices? It might be permitted—we should say dis inculpated-—if the inhabitants of Jamaica, deeply wounded and almost despairing in consequence of their misfortune, should not refrain from injastice and calumny; but with persons of the position of the reverend Bishop of Oxford and bord Malmesbury, this injustice and the repetition of yuigar errors and gross inventions involve a responsibility which im- presses a sad a. on the character of the orator. No, it is not on the part of Spain that we have to seck the reason of that absolute impossibility whieh the struggle for the extirpation of the slave trade encounters. ‘Neither Spain nor any other nation has i the means of doing eatirely away with a contraband trade to which nobody, more than those who pretend to be its exclusive persecutors, lend aid and allarements. Those who once made the colonization contracts for covering our Island of Cuba with slaves, soliciting the exclusive privilege of carrying on that commerce, besides now ane against and persecating it, are resorting to ali ki of measures in order that the countries which yield- ed to their solicitations may see every way cloved to them for procuring a substitute for that class of In- bor. The slave trade is being actively persecuted, but at the dame time it is intended to proscribe the nee of the absolutely free right of engaging free la- borers, profiting by the lessons of experience. Eing- land was the first who engaged free Africans for her Antilles, and her orators to-day accuse the Imperial government of France of protecting these very same contracts for peopling its colonial pos- sestions. England first contracted for cooties for ber colonies, and her orators, in an jasoleat manger, are now crying out Bpain on account ef senting that the itera of Cuba shall look tor the means to for their agricultaral wante, for which they can nor wish to have recourse te the expedionay of stare Sade, ‘What more effica- cious proof could be desired that Cuba or ita inhabi- tants, without ex , have com renounced et yy ee jan tations fb ‘te Asiatic eS aad Bot it is ps desired that Cuba shall be lost »- ruined for want of laborers. The reverend Bishop of Oxford, at least, com, that we Spa- niarde are steps of his countrymen, profitting by their and the lessons of their government. If that ia the anne of the reli- gicus and humanitarian prelate, what, today, could we add more to what we have stated relative to the errors and calumpies of which he rendered himself the echo against Spain? The Pacific Rallread Routes. [From the American Rajiroad Journal, Jaly 31.) The discoveries of gold on the Northwest coast are bringing prominently before the public the na- tional im ce of the railroad route connecting the jin of the St. Lawrence and the Upper Mi ippi with the Columbia Valley and Puget Sound. GOLD DISCOVERIES. The placers now being worked are on Fraser and Thompson rivers, in New Caledonia. At the last advices, seven steamers and a large number of sail ing vessels were running from San Francisco to Puget Sound. The judgment of the peonte of Cali fornia as to the new diggings, is based on the infor- mation which each community and locality in Cali- fornia has received from some practical miner known rsonally to it, who has gone to the new mines and as by his own labors ascertained their productive- ness. While public attention is being drawn to the gold pects north of the 49th pee! (on Fraser and ‘hompson rivers), i+ is well known that gold is dis- seminated throughout the cascades of Washington Territory, and that it also reaches the Rocky Mountains in the line of Clark’s Fork aad the Koutenay river. In 1853, in the exploration of the Northern route for a Paciile railroad, the presence of gold was determined, not only on all the streams ronning from the Cascade Mourtaius east- ward to the Columbia; but through the whole inter: mediate country, and deposita were found on the upper tributeries of Clark's Fork, in the following year, mach additional informa. tion was gained in reference to the gold in that Ter- ritory. The marvellous Indian stories in regard to rich diggings had as much relation to the Cascade country of Washington as to that north of the 49th parallel. In 1854 the public mind became impressed with the belief that it required only a diligeut pros- pet of the country to develope the richness of its deposits. In 1855, large numbers emigrated to the interior of Washington (east of the Cascades) to prospect for gold. The miners went, some from Puget’s Sound over the Cascades, and others by the line of the Columbia. In July and August of that year, at least one thouvand pereons were on their way to the mines near Colville— a Hudson's Bay fort in Washing- ton Territory, situated in the upper Columbia, about four hundred miles above Fort Walla Walla, and seven hundred miles from the Columbia entrance— measuring the distance in both cases by the river— and some twenty-tive to thirty miles south of the forty-ninth parailel. The Indian war compelled most of these men to retrace their steps. A few, however, remained in the mining regions and made pod wages for the following two years. In 1857, the miners explored farther north, and found rich deposits in the Shonswop country, on Thowpson river. Gold was also found along the line from Fraser and Thompson river to Fort Col- ville. ‘This was the route of the Mudson's Bay Company to their interior posts, and waa kept open throughont the years 1855, 1856 and 1857 ,whilat other routes were closed, in consequence of the unsettled state of the Indian country. iH Public attention was attracted to this matter through all ‘he Pacific States and ferritories The Governor of Vancouver’s Island took steps to regu- late the digging of guld and the trade of New Cale- donia. Notwithstanding the burthensome restric- tions he imposed, a great rash of miners has taken place from California and Oregon to the now pla- cers—the number being estimated at 15,000., Probably 40,000 will leave California the present season. "The result must be the careful prospecting: of the gold regions of Washington and the ascertain- ment of facts which will satisfy all men of their pro- ductiveness. A large overland emigration may be expected to take place from the States next year. From the northwest, the best route will be that sur- | veyed by Governor Stevens in his Pacific Railroad | explorations. GOVERYOR STEVENS’ ROUTR | ‘This route starta at St. Paul, follows up the eastern bank of the Mississippi to Sauk Rapids, where it crosses that river, pursues a general west by north | direction to the Boisde Sioux, on the western boun- dary of Minwesote, and in its Westward course strikes Fort Union aud Fort Benton on the Missouri, crosses. the Rocky Mountains by Lewis aod Clark’s,Cadutte’s, or the northern Little Blackfoot, or Mullain’s pase, thence following one of the tributaries of the Hell Gate river, debouches in the Bitter Root Valley at Hell Gate. From this poiat it proceeds down the i ter Root Valley tothe mouth of the St Regis de Borgia, up that stream till it crosses the Car d’ Alene divide to the waters of the Cour d'Alene river, which it follows to the Coeur d'Alene lakes, wheace it detlects in a southward direction to nesr the mouth of Saake river and bifurcates—one branch going down the Columbia to Vancouver and the other passing up the main Yakima toSnaqualinie pass, and thence to the waters of the Sound at Seattle. Ia Governor Ste- venus’ plan and estimate, provision is not_ only made for these two branches reaching directly Paget Sound and the Lower Columbia, but also a branch road is urged connecting Vancouver with the Sound. (his route has a direct and easy connection with | the newly discovered gold regions. From the Coeur d'Alene lakes the Vaecet is entirely practicable to all parts of the main Qolumbia from Fort Walla- Walla to Port Colville. Wagonsand pack trains can now pass in almost every direction. Many of the minor details of the railroad route have not yet been | establisbed, as, for instance, the particular mroaing | of the Colambia, whether it shall be above the mout! of the Snake, or whether, in order to carry the road through as mach of the good country and fine pine timber on the Western slope of the Bitter Root Mountains as possible, it shall be taken from the Comur d’ Alene to the Palouse Valley, and thenes down the latter stream to its junction with the Suake; or whetber, following well down the Cour d'Alene to its inte: with the Spokane river, a crowing of | the Columbia shall be made much above the mouth of the Snake, with a view of shortening the distance to the Sound, and keeping the route as near as prac ticable to the gold region centering about Colvilie, These are questions which will reqaire careful ex: amination when the road is located. It may be remarked that Gov. Stevens, ia bis pab- lished report, carried the railroad line down Clarke's fork and passed it from Clarke's fork below the Pend d’Oreille lake to the Spokane, bat stated that the Coour d'Alene route was probably practicable, | and urged its careful examination. Thi+ examina | tion was made by him in 1855. He foand the line po ticable, effecting a saving of four mil- lions olars in the cost of the road, and shorten ing the distance some seventy-five miles. CHARACTER@TIO FRATURES. This route connects the Jakes and the upper Mississippi directly with Puget Soand and the Co- lambia Valley, The distance in round numbers is | bat eighteen handred miles. It has the least sam of ascents and descents of any route, and the lowest rades. It passes through a country having man; imes more arable land than any other route. It abounds in timber and wood. It has the least defi. ciency of water, and no serious obstructions from snow. It isin connection with the two large rivers flowing eastwardly and westwardly from the great water shed of the continent. These myers can be navigated by steamers of considerable capacity | within 450 miles of each other. The Missoori is | navigable to Fort Benton, and the Colamb' lowing its great sonthern branch, Snake Ri month of the Palonse, From the mont Palouse to Fort Benton is but 450 miles. These | rivers, therefore, furnish the means of throwing the route ‘into sections, and the time reqnited to baild | the whole road is simply the time required to build | the central section, a distance of 450 miles. Moreover, on this route only 225 miles are more than 3,000 above the sea; whereas the other | tana are more than 3,000 feet above the sea, as fol / ows: — Sonth Pass ronte. . 1,432 miles. 35th parallel... ’ . ao oe 324 parallel... re On the northern route only 125 miles are more than 4,000 feet above the level of the sea, On the otner youtes the distances of more than 4,000 feet above the sea are as follows:— South Paws... ..... ‘ 1272 36th parallel... . . ‘ 32d_parallel.. . a 7 The sums of ascents and descents on these foar | routes are as follows:— Gov.

In a freight business regard must be had to the ascents and descents, as well as to the carves, in order to ascertain the cost. By examining the statistics of railroads it will be seon that the coat of carrying ht varies from about four or five mifla per ton per mile to some fifteen or eighteen mills. The cost, of course, depends in part upon the amount of business, but mainly upon the grades.

The pra “4h cability of the Coeur d@’AJene trail was determin by bim in 1855, a8 an incident to other duties, he betng obliged to cross the country as Commissioner to make treaties with the Indian tribes. The Cas- cades were not fully developed in 1853. The minute instrumental examination which was urged, of the rs) almuie Pass was not made, neg, as was had in contemplation, was the cor explored between the Spokane and the nin Yakima, to ascertain whether the great southward bend of the reported tailrond line could not be avoided and a much shorter and less costiler coanection made. Nor were the connections, so clearly poiated oat and vigorously urged in his report, between the passes explored by him in tue Rocky Mountains and the western boundary of Iowa and Missouri through the Black hills of Nebraska, and the Bois de Sioux of Minnesota by a line crossing the Missouri and Yellow stone, bad ai omg wt ascer> tained by exploration as advi by him It is possible that the superiority of the Northern over other routes, as regards distances, grades and general practicability, will be more thoroughly established when ¢ id is occupied aud the fucts determined, 4s the veport of the explorer. CHAKACTER OF THE COUNTRY. Secretary of War has given a view of the cour oofering entirely from thatof? Gov, Stevens and (be oflicers associate] with him. As the Secre- tary dees not support his judgment by a single voucher, as the observers allugree essentially with Goy. Stevens his ardly be considered as entitled t y weight against the conclasions of the report which has received his untavorable criti- cism, Thus the Secretary of War states that the Northern route passes throngh 1,490 miles of gene- yally uncultivable country, and that toe cultivable areas are only about one thousand square miles, Now on that ronte the formation both in the Rocky and Bitter Root mountains is limestone, and there wre the constituents of limestone in the soil gene- rally for arable purposes. The result reported by Goy. Stevens is what wus to have been expected. So far from the route running through 1,490 miles of generally uncaltivable country, much of the coun- try thus pronounced uncultivable is exceedingly rich and productive, well watered and a»ounding in the finest timber on the streams. Al! along ths al- leged generally uncultivable region are to be found excellent farming locations, Large tracts of rich tarming land, ranging in size from one to four thou- sand equare miles, are to be found in Lee bodies. Most of the country in Minnesota west of the west- ern boundary of the State of Minnesota is arable. The lands bordering on Milk river are fine wheat lands. Moot of the trioutaries flowing into the Missouri have broad, open, bighly productive valleys. The bottom lands of the Missouri itself are of the finest quality, and Indian corn will be a good and certain crop for a considerable distance above the Great Falls, In the region of the upper Missouri from the Bear's Paw to the Rocky Mountain region the estimated cultivanle area of ten thousand square miles made by Governor Stevens, is an under estimate. It will amount to at least twelve thousand square miles. West of the Bitter Root mountains, the country for nearly one hundred miles is not only arable, bat highly produc: tive ; the Waila-Walla country is one of the flnest lo ns for small farms in the world, and this tract | (including the whole re-entering of the Snake) can | sustain a farming population of one hundred thou- sand souls. There are large arable tracts in the Yakima country. For rraning purposes the country through which the northern route passes is unsur- assed either east or west of the Rocky mountains. The great success of the Indians of Washington and Oregon Territories as raisers of is and cattle, shows the mildness of the climate and its graziog resources. The country is exeeedingly well adapted to sheep. East of the Rocky mountains the vast herds of buffalo which find their subsistence there summer and winter, and the large bands of Indian horses which have no difficalty in thriving upon their winter pastures, is significant of the goodaess and salubrity of its climate. Not to extend this article unnecessarily, we refer our readers to the report of Governor Stevens and the officers associated with him, and bespeak tor them a careful and considerate attention, CONNECTIONS WITS BUROVE AND ASTA, Besides this great advantages arising from the shortness of the route, it has the nearest connections with Asia aod Karope. The course of sailing vex sels from San Franciseo to Obiow, Japan aad the Russian possessions, such is the direction of the pre- vailing winds, is by the entrance of the Straits de Fruoa, some seven hondred miles from San Francisco, and the barbors of Vuget Svund are actually six hundred miles nearer to those parts than San Fran- cleco.
