is better than the corresponding portion of thu
Nah-chess Pass. But the result Of my shOr
experience in this country has been, that no
the slightest faith or confidence is to be placed
in information derived from the employees o
the company, or from the inhabitants of the
Territory-in every instance when Ibave acted
upon information thus obtained, have beer
altogether deceived and mislcd. twill, there
fore. be impossible to make any accurate com
parisOn of the relative advantages of the wes
slopes of these Passes, until We have examined
the whole of the SnO-qual-me Pass ourselves
Near st. Helens the mountains are by no means
so large and rugged as near Mount Regnier
yet there does not appear to be so well marked
and defined a Pass. The lowest point over
which our trail passed in that vicinity was
3, 100 feet above Vancouver"
1t is certainly a matter of regret that the adj
ditional appropriation asked for by Gov. Stew
ems could not have been made in time to have
continued the survey this season but the qucs
ton of practicable route for a railroad to the
Pacific. is settled beyond all question.
Subsequent and more careful surveys mus
prove still more satisfactory, and materially
lessen the estimated expense.
A Railroad TO the Pacific has now become a
settled thing in the minds of scven-eighths o.
the people of the United States. The progress
sivc spirit of the age calls loudly for it the
wants of the people demand it. Diversity OF
opinion will exist as to which ofthe three routes
should be adopted, but enough is now known
from the reports of able and accomplished en-.
ginecrs, for Congress to determine which is the
most practicable route; and it should be so de-
tcrmincd, without regard to sectional feeling
each route upon its own merits, without any
extraneous aid, or Congressional lobby innu
cnce.
To Minnesota the advantages of this road il
built are incalculablc: opening up as it will dc
to the settler hundreds of miles of rich and
beautiful land, and which in no other way can
ever be made available for agriculture or i'm
provemcnt. But unfortunately as citizens of q
Territory, we can do comparatively nothing to-
wards assisting in this great enterprise Oul
Delegate has not even vote in Congress or
this matter; we must therefore wait patiently
for the good time coming
Three imaginary lines have been laid dowr
upon Gov. Stevens map. from Sank Rapids tt
Lake Superior. This is a matter which coult
not have engaged the attention of Coy. Stew
ems much, or he would have asccrtafncd that st
I'au iSnearcr the head of Lake Superior thar
Sank Rapids, and that in all probability
much nearer and more practical route can BE-
found from ST. Paul.

"Slavery sectional - freedom national !" -

SAN JUAN.--The mayor and authori. ties of San Juan have published state ment of the late difficulties, in which they assert that so far from attempting to in terfere with the Transit Company al Punta Arenas. they have been treated with every indrgni'y by that Company who refused to obey the civil authorities of San Juan or even recognize their ex- istence, when the said authority was ne cessary for the peace of the town. Slo man. one of the employees of the Com. psny was arrested for knocking a man down in the streets of San Juan and Scott the agent of the Company, for resisting the arrest They were both held to bail. So much for the "iujuries" to these men. There is no proof that an ounce of flour was brought into Greytown from Punta Arenas in boat. as Scott alledged. One McGralh, who had been employed by the Company but had been dismissed, bor> rowed boat to go over to the town. but there was nothing in it.

Eurnnaan PrnHpeCts,

The fact is, that conservative Europe, the Europe of "Order, property, family,
 religion" Europe of monarch, leu
 dal lolds, moneyed men, however they
 may be differently assorted tn different
 countries--is once more exhibiting its
 extreme impOtency. Europe may be rot
 ten, but Q war should bave reused the
 sound clements . war should have
 brought forth sOmc latent energies, and
 assuredly there should be that much
 pluck among two hundred and fifty mil i lions of men, that at least one decent
 struggle might be got up, wherein both
 parties could reap some honor, such as force and spirit can carry of even from tie Geld of battle. But RO. Not only
 is the England of the middle classes, the France of the Bonapartes. incapable Of a decent, hearty. hard fought war; but even Russia, the country of Europe least infected by inidel and unnerving civilI> xation, cannot bring about any thing oI the kind. The T0lks are fI for sudden starts of offensive action, and stubborn resistance on the defensive. but seem not to be made for large combined manoeu. vers with great armies. Thus everything is reduced to degree of impuissance and a reciprocal confession of weakness, which appears to be as reciprocally ex- pected by all parties. With governments such as they are at present. this Eastern war may be carried on for thirty years, and yet come to no conclusion.
 But while official incompetency is thus displaying itself all over Europe, in the south western corner of that continent movement breaks out which at once shows that there are still other forces more active than the official ones. What, ever may be tue real character and the end of the Spanish rising, so much at least may be affirmed. that it bears to 8 future revolution the same relation as the Swiss and Italian movements of lS47 to the revolution of ls4S. There are two grand facts in it G,st. the military. the actual rulers of the continent since lS49, have got divided among themselves, and have given up their calling of preserving order. for the purpose of asserting their own opinion ia opposition to the Cow ernmept. Their discipline taught them their power, and this power has loosen> ed their discipline. Secondly, we have had the spectacle of a successful barri> cade 6ght. Wherever barricades have been raised since June. ls4s, they have hitherto proved of no avail. Barricades the resistance of the population of large town against the military, seemed of no effect whatever. That prejudice has fallen. We have again seen victorious, unassailable barricades. The spell is broken. A new revolutionary era is rendered possible. and it is significant that while the troops of official Europe are showing themselves useless in actual war, they are at the same time defeated by the insurgent inhabitants of town Tribune.

 wall.

M9 | wall.
 Long has this village been cursed hy Srogshop of the lowest character. The appeals of discOnsOIa,e, rt>brOkeu. Wives--the moral suasiOn of the lOvsrv Of humanity and the threatenings of Out- ragged citizens have been alike unable ,o stop the bellish operations of this, the most patent agent of satan.
 But now the stream of liquid fire which has so long blighted this village has been stayed. An expeditions and efficient in~ strument has been placed in the hand of society. No longer are the slumber. of our citizens disturbed by bacchanalian revelry-no longer is night made hide~ ouS by the cursings of the raviug drunk. ard as he staggers to his miserable home. mo longer is law de6ed ard all moral. ity despised. but order and quis. prevail. The man who. few days since was reel- ing through our streets or obstructinU our gulters, may now be seen labor;ng. and carrying the products of his labor to his before starved family. Here the op. position to the law enacted by the legis~ lature may be resolved into four classes,
 lst. As matter of course, the occa- sional or habitual drinker opposes it be. cause it deprives him in his rapid pro. gress to the drunkard's grave.
 2d. The former dealer. even # he be a professed Christian. opposes it, because it dinsinishes his profits.
 Sd. The popularity seeker opposes it by his inertness. He has not yet deter. mined which is the popular side, and as he would sell his birlh'ight for a mess of pottage, he watches the popular current and when it's path is defined he will throw himself into it, and float into popular la> vor or increased wealth.
 4Ih. Tue constant opponents of the moral elevation of society oppose it. be~ cause they see that it tends to elevate society-that the churches and all good people are looking to it to crush gigan, tic evil, and they nsWst of course oppose it. They are efficient in pulling down, powe'less in building up. do not envy them their reflective hours nor their dying bed.
 Notwithstanding this opposition the friends of the law are numerous, actiye, and high spirited. They are determined that it shall be enforced. This should be, and I think is the determination of temperance men all over the State. The public ear is no longer deaf to the de- mands of suffering humanity. Let tho temperance men now do their duty. Let them give this law firm and .taithtaI support, and then no more shall the wail- ings of the starving be heard in our streets mo longer shall homes be desecrated-- families broken up, and men debased by rum-b but one of the most terrible curses that ever visited humanity shall be ar> rested--families shall be united-- society elevated and man blessed.
