no peace with the Indians will he acknowL-
edged by Gen. Clarke, SO long as the great
leaders and hstigaters of the war are ot
large, and certainly no fret-work of a treaty
will be patched up by that officer, or nnder
his direction predicated upon the demand,
of the indians. A peace is as good "a
conquered now, and the officers and troop,
have good cause to congratulate themselves
that the Indians consented to measure
strength with them on two different fields
of contest. We fear, however, the battle
of Spokane Plains" will close the omen
engagements of the Indians-psrhaps for
all time is this direction.

will add immensely to the Importance of
this thoroughfare over the American conti-
nent.
The element of time, in the construction
of a road, is a high consideration in favor
of any route. That which can be soonest
completed, even if it were at some addi-
tiouaI cost, should be preferred for that
reason. The preference ought to be deci-
sive, when, with the great advantage of
time, from the shortneSs Of the line, the
easier grades, and the superior facilities
for construction concur with the least cost
These advantages are all offered by the
northern route, rid St. Paul to Puget
Sound, or the valley of the Columbia.
The article which VIC published last week
from the american Railroad Journal is
conclusive on this subject, not only as
truthfully representing the fertility Of our
northern territory, and its adaptability to
compact settlement for hundreds Of miles
together, but in also assuming that, from
the fact that the Missouri and Columbia
rivers are navigable for steamers within
$50 miles of each other, the time required
to build the whole road (1800 mies) is
simply the time required to build the inter
mediate section between the navigable
waters of those riverside miles. That
the route over which the northern railroad
has been surveyed, passes through q coun-
try having an immense amount of arabic
and more than any other-with more
abundant wood and timber, and less def
cheney of water than any oother-with the
least sum of ascents and descents, and with
no serious distractions not common to any
other route, is well ascertained and ac-
knowledged fact, and its throughout con.
structon is only question of time.
The Pacific Railroad is the most gigan-
tic enterprise of the kind the world has
even known, and once completed, is des-
tined to revolutionize the trade, travel and
commerce of the earth. The very day the
last bar Of this road is laid, will commence
the absolute Verifcation of the words Of
the poet:
The empire of the sea has passed away from AlbiOn
shore,
Columbia rules the ocean now-Britannia ruled Of
yore."

Uuitsd States vs. Schooner "LOrd Raglan"

This cause, in admiralty, was tried be-
fore Hon. E. G. FnzHUGH, Associate JUS
tice for Sd Judicial District, at a special
term held at Port Townsend on the 22d
September. Messrs KENDALL and SPEAR
appeared for the United States, aud Messrs.
SABATr and GARFIELDE for the schooner.
The facts as elected by the evidence are
as follows: The schooner was sailing un-
der the Mexican flag, and had Sea
Letter" from Sonora, and a manifest from
Victoria, but no clearance. She was seized
by The revenue cutter JEFF. Daris while en-
tering Bcllingham Bay, and was libelled
for not entering at Port Townsend, and
for having surplus Of goods to the amount
Of over $l400 over and above the manifest.
The Judge, in rendering decision, re-
marked that as it was the first ase-ef any
Importance that had come before him, and
as the vessel was commanded by an Italian,
who had very imperfect knowledge Of
English, he should he very lenient, but it
must not be considered as a precedent.
Goods TO the amount Of $500 were con
demned as forfeited to the government, and
6ne Of $500, and costs amounting to
$3.50, imposed upon the vessel The fine
has since been paid, and the condemned
goods delivered to the Marshal.

FRUE, Fruit Trees, &c.-For the past
few/%eeks, the Olympia market has con-
tained an abundant supply Of the finest
apples--principally of Oregon culture, in
connection with which, California has con-
tributed a supply of large, delicious melons
fine clusters of grapes, and other fruits.
In few years this Territory will produce
an abundant home supply, at least of apples,
and have.a large surplus for expectation.
Of late, horticulture has been engaged in
very extensively by our farmers generally
nearly all Of whom have thrifty orchards of
young fruit trees. And in speaking of
fruit and fruit trees, we are reminded that
Messrs. GANGLoFF &aMoxLIE, Of this coun-
tw, have in their extensive nurseries on
Grand Mound and adjoining the town of
Olympia, Ooundless variety of the finest
grated fruit trees, ornamental shrubbery
and flowers; Of which fact, see their adyer-
tisement ROBERT" authorizes us to say
that he cannot be undersold by his friend
and horticultural competitor in Pierce
county; that be has an endless variety Of
everything in the nursery line, which will
be found in the highest state Of cultivation;
warranted to he what they are represented,
and which will be disposed of on as adyan-
tageOus terms as can be obtained on the
Pacific coast.

Military Operations Against the Indians

On the first page of to-day's paper will
be found a somewhat detailed account Of
the late action Of the command under Col.
WRIGHT with the Indians on "Spokane
Palms." a partial account of which was
published last week. This second brilliant
victory obtained by the regulars over the
hostiles, has clothed the aspect Of our In-
dian relations in habilaments that they
we're not wont to wear under the auspices
of the late military commandant of the Pa
cife Department; and the ground which
was lost or rather abandoned, in the cam
paign Of 1856, has been most gloriously
retrieved, the honor Of the American flag
has been vindicated, and the prestige Of
American valor has been most triumphant.
ly sustained The achievement Of few
more such victories-the striking Of a few
more such blows, and the hostile bands
east of the Cascades will be reduced to that
state of unconditional submission that
should have been acquired three years ago
Gen. CLARKE appears to be exactly The man
to occupy the position to which he has been
assigned, and it is as unfortunate for the
citizens Of these territories as for the gene
raj government that he was not assigned to
the command of this department years ago;
the expense Of the present war would thus,
doubtless, have been obViated, and the
cost of the late volunteer service would
have perhaps stood at q greatly reduced
figure. Gen. Clarke, thus far, has made
this an Indian campaign as is a campaign,
"a complete series of triumphs, without
bungle or bluster. He has never struck
until he has had everything in readiness,
and then he has made nothing but "ten-
strikes" Probably as large, and in every
way as well appointed force, was never
got in readiness and concentrated in the
field in as short time, as has been the
present commands under Col. WRIGHT and
Maj. GARNET. And yet, whilst every
movement has been conducted with celebrity
and dispatch, system, order and quietness
has prevailed throughout. The forces have
been fitted out well and becomingly-not as
for a pleasure excursion, but with all the ap-
planes necessary to encounter prolonged
rough and tumble" with the selfcon6-
dent redskins. Gen. Clarke has not ad-
rsrtiSsd to the world that his headquarters
would be in his saddle, neither has he adrer-
tissd to the Indians that on certain day
he would fight, thresh and subdue them;
but, without swagger, parade or ostenta-
ton, he has made such rapid and decisive
movements as to afford our gallant officers
and men an opportunity of striking home
upon the enemy with telling and terrible
effect.
The gallant conduct of Col. Wright, Mai.
Garnet, and all the officers and men who
were engaged in the late brilliant victories
is warmly appauded by our citizens, and
confidence in the military arm of our gov
ernment upon this coast is being fully re-
stored. 1t is now becoming manifest that
