A. Magnificent Railroad Scheme.

The Eastern war recently concluded was
not all a savage slaughter and a desolatlon.-
Amid the thunder OF sebastOpol and the clouds
of battle, keen eyed men with the allied armies
perceived opportunities for carrying out some
of the grandest enterprises that were ever con-
ceiyed by the human mind. With all its hor-
rors there is every reason to believe that the
great contest between the Gar and the West
ern Powers was designed to result in immense
benefit to mankind. Among the projects con-
ceived while the French and English armies
were before Sebastopol, was Railroad, under
British projection and control, and from the
shores of the Mediterran mean to the Banks OF the
Euphrates, which is to be connected with steam
boat navigation on the river down to the Per-
sian Gulf and thence to a new line of Rail-
road on the Western coast of India, which Will
connect with a road to Calcutta, and, striking
the Indus connect with steamboat navigation
1000 miles North The saving in distance 10
Calcutta will be immense.
This grand enterprise has been stimulated by
! the movements of the French in reference TO
the ship canal across the Isthmus of Suez.-
! Jealousy has been awakened in the English
mind, and this will tend TO hasten the arrange
ments for carrying out the scheme. To antl-
cipate the French, prompt and vigorous action
| will be required, and this the English projec-
tors of the road appear to appreciate. But the
| Euphrates Valley Railroad is only designed TO
be link in a railroad chain which will surpasS
in extent our much talked of line from the At
1 lantc to the Pacific. % .s.. .....-.t-..
A continuous line of Railroad is projected
from Calais in France to Vienna, Belgrade

and thence by the Euphrates Valley to Busso

sidered as fit only, for a dutch stomach, but of

Americans. It differs from ordinary strong
beer, in no essential particular. Its name. inn

stitutes its highest recommendation. So popu-

From Washington Territory---Great Indian fight
"A HOWL Mode of Whipping Savages
New YORK, Feb. %.

Advices from Washington Territory, re-
ceived at San Francisco on the day of sailing
of the steamer, give the particulars of a grand
attack made the 18th day of January, by the
Kilkitar Indians, upon Settle, in that Terri
tory. r.
For four nights preceding the attack, the
town had been garrisoned by officers and crew
of the Decatur, At O'Clock. A. NJ. on the
Goth, all hands returned to the ship, but in q
very short time word was sent that the town
was surrounded by. Kilkatars.
The men were immediately relanded, and
the attack commenced by firing q shot from
the howitzer, which ~aS returned by volley
| from the entire rear Of tie town, and the In
| dams at the same time were uttering terrific
yells Of defiance The. firing was continued
till P. NJ. when finding that the Indians could
not be driven f'om the woods, it was decided to
settle the matter in different ray.
| The women and children were sent on board
the Decatur and Brontes. The citizens and
marines were left in charge of the Block House
and the officers and crew returned to the ship
The batteries were then opened from'the Deca-
tur, and grape, canister and round shot poured
upon the Indians in such quantities that the
main body of them retreated. After night fall
shells and shot were thrown wherever any
signs Of Indians appeared.
By 10 P. NJ all was quiet. 1t is impossible
to ascertain the number engaged in the attack
There are rumors, from which we gather that
the Indians were from 800 to 900 strong. 1t
is also rumored that the Indians had So killed
and 30 wounded. On the side Of the whites
only two were killed, both civilians. The In
dians shot too high, the bullets whiStling over
the heads of our forces.
An attack is feared upon Steilacoom as a
short time before the steamer sailed an express
came into the garrison with information that
the Indians had attacked some whites about
Eve miles from the garrison.
The injury Of the Decatur has been repair
ed, and she is now in good condition. All
well on board Decatur and Active, when the
Republic left.
A later dispatch says second attack from
the Indians was appFehended.
Governor Stevens had arrived at Olympia,
andissued a proclamation. calling for six COM
panies of volunteers.
