The Board of Aldermen last night, by nearly
unanimous vote, passed the ordinance confirming
the title of Messrs. James, Keep e. Wesley to the
Brick church property. We presume this settles
the question, and that no further efforts will be
made to defeat the contamination Of the Presidents
decision to purchase the property as the site Of the
CITY Post Office That it is by far the most advant
aseous locality which can be procured fer thatpur-
pose, no impartial person can doubt; and moro than
that the price at which it is sold to the Government
is perfectly reasonable and within bounds. TheCem-
mon Council have done wisely in thus confirming
the sale and removing the doubtful features hitherto
supposed to attach to it. We presume the Mayor
who has already once approved the transaction
will now give it second approval, and that the
whole affair will thus be brought to close without
any further delay.

We publish in another part of this days paper a
communication from Gov. Stevens Of Washington
Territory, respecting the Indian hostlities on our
Pacific coast, or so much Of them ss had occurred
within his jurisdiction.
The conflicting accounts that have appeared dur
ing several months past Of the progress and char
acter of the conflicts there have seemed to DEFY
,oluton consistent with recognition of the equal
truth and honesty of the civil authorities and of the
military commander Of the district, Gen. Wool.
There are, however, two things touching this MAJ
ter of Indian hostlties on our frontiers which we
consider settled. One is that if the Indians were
treated properly-and by that we mean honest
" and decently-by the whites, we should never
lave Indian difficulties nor Indian wars. This is
the uniform testimony Of all intelligent and humane
men who have ever resided among them. 1t is the
testimopy of Gen. Cass and Of Gen. Houston, re-
peatedly given in public and private, as the fruits
Of their long experience on our northern, western
and southern frontiers, among the various tribes
which still lipger upon the edges OF our advancing
civilization. The other fact which We consider
equally well established, is that considerable por'
ton of the pioneers of our infant settlements con-
,ider the Indians q race which should be cut up
by the roots and exterminaed to make room for the
whites In the late annual Report OF the CON-
missioner of Indian Affairs, the following passage
occurs to substantiate this opinion:
at cannot be disguised that portion Of the white
populstop of TIE Pacific Territory entertain feelings
det Div hostile TO the Indian tribes of that region, and
are aRrious for the eLtermiRattoR Of the race.
Starting from this point, We may see tina. the
conduct and incidents of Indian life and an In
dian campaign will be necessarily represented In To-
tally different aspects, according as the representa-
tons shall be made by persons belonging to one
Glars or another of individuals. The same train OF
EVENT., when examined BY the calm eye Of impartial
Justice, or beheld by the fiery gaze OF impetuou'
passion and deadly hate, wears totally different
aspect. So too in the treatment of cases which
Arise where the Indian is involved. To the eye OF
Justice and moderation; one remedy presents itself;
TO that of brutal mperoutnes, which but too often
marks the military administration of our Indian at.
fairs, another and totally different one, aud that
ia the one usually administered So that, thus far
in our history, the Indian has generally been the
vic tim of lawless outrage in the first instance and,
for his defense against SUCH be and his have been
ground under the heel Of the military power Of the
Government.
And now az to the precise gist Of the lac Indian
war in Oregon and Wa.hipgton-a war that hss

the whites being no less barbarous than tho'e Of

6culties from this and demonstrated against the en-
croachment, to the military authorities. Tho re-
DIV was, "There are but few Ofthese settlers, and
"no more than the Indians are willing should
"come." Soon after, treaties were negotiated BY
our Indian Agents with the tribes Of the
vicinity-the Yakimas, the Wlh-wsllAs,
and the Csyuses, and the region round
about ceded BY them to the Government. Just
about this time, gold was discovered on the upper
waters of the Columbia at Colville, some two or
three hundred miles further up on the North fork Of
the Columbia, and thither miners began to 60. At
this point Of time the principal chiefs Of the tribes
referred TO assembled ard declared that the aiens
ton of their territory was made without authority
by subordinates who had no power, and in some
ca,es BY bogus chiefs manufactured for the purpose
They at once sounded the call to arms to resist the
transssr., and to arrest tho emigration to the mines
Perceying that close upon the heel Of the execution
of fraudulent treaties fraudulent in their eyes),
there was ru.h to the mines, they were alarmed
lett their whole country should be per6diously
wIested from them. Hos.ilities were at once begun
BY the Yakiuas the Wslla, WaIlas and the Csyuses,
and a company Of men bouLd for the mines
were slain BY the Yskimas, in their pas
sage through the territory OF that tribe.
This representation, in our view, refutes the
implied charge of treachery against the Indians
made by Gov. Stevens, and to great extent e1cul-
pates them from the charge Of opening the war;
They struck the frat blow, but it was what they
considered but engaging in legitimate defense
seains. the encI oachments Of the whites.
Such We believe to be the true account of the
origin of the war in question. We belie7e Gov.

Now this latter line is indispensable perse to the
great interests and convenience not alone Of the
people OF California, but OF the whole Union whose
trade and commerce have increased almost beyond
belief since the discovery OF the auriferous trea-
sures Of the State. One fact 10 confirm this: In
ls4s the whole tonnage q the United States was
3,l54000; IN 1s55 II 5,2l2 600, and II il now
doubtless more than 100000 tons
But neither OF the European lines were OF that in
dispenssbe character Of the Pacific lines The for
mer have certainly ninisered TO our national pride,
and that most electually, by the unsurpassed supe
roTty In the speed and comfort Of their ships; bat
cannot be denied that the mails could have
beesn a. readily conveyed In the existing English
line without mourning the enormous expense o.
cra .ng through government favor separate Anne
Iican conveyances. The aggregate expense to
the nation OF the European lines in fs55 was
t6ss 600 over and above the postsye received, the
for one would not have bad II 80. I hare refe-
renee now only to the abstract tact, that mail
line on this side s an actual necesity-on your side
IL " only question Of national pride.
The actual expense 10 the Post Office Department
for the Pacific mails appears 70 have been, over and
above the postage received, a322 600 which was not
only unavoidable but richly due TO the people of
both divisions Of the Union, and more especially
those Of the Pacific, whose golden treasures are
almost hourly developed TO the great advantage OF
the whole country, and whose aborious poneers do
rive their chief solase 10 their isolated condition
from the sweets Of correspondence with their homes
and families.
II In not alone in the revenue drawn from the pub
lie treasury that the Atlantic steamers possess adj
vsntsges those OF the Pacific, but In the dmin-
shed rates Of their expenses and 10 their incidental
commercial proats. The Collins line, for instance,
gets f140 for cabin passage a voyage Of eleven

twenty -four days, 1.-THE charge W $3.50 but Of this
