Reply to the ''Song Of Steam"
by JOHN ooADBY.
Wen harness you down with iron bands,
And strengthen our curb and rein;
Wen laugh at your scorn OF our puny bands,
And your fiercest wrath disdain.
You s'laughedf" but you were not concealed from
sight;
We saw you in the wreatl,y play;
Aud all your SO vauntcd power and might.
Lies in efforts to get away.
We had watched you long, as the harbipgcr
OF breakfast, dinner and tea;
We had waited for you with the porringH,
But thought not of praisug thee,
For all that sou did, as your wreaths arose,
Was with the pot lid to play,
And to send a savory smell to tho nose,
Asyou struggled to get away.
oThcy invited you fctth"' Nay, we bound you fast
To the keel and the flying car;
And we laughed as we heard your grumbling blast,
And saw you approach from afar.
Weleaped for joy, that the human mind
Could take such truant from play,
And harness you down to profit mankind,
by your fury to get away.
You make your boast Of your speed and strength,
And well does q. CUTTER sing it,
But cheaper agent weu find at length,
And soon to perfection bring it,
We now send our thoughts by the Telegraph,
For you, we need not stay;
Aud soon we shall write your epitaph,
Or send you back to play.
You may blow the bellows, forge the steel,
In oil the shops OF trade;
You may hammer the ore, and turn the wheel,
Where the engines and cars are made.
We brought you there, and into the mint,
And there shall make you stay
Whatever you do, or carry, or print,
Isby struggling to get away.
But boast no more Of your iron might,
little cold water Stay;
We shall make the air press strong and tight,
And then you may 60 and play.
But well harness you down with iron bands;
Till then We will make you stay,
TO do the work of thousand hands,
BY your efforts to get away.

Wnat poruon OF tne lerrlJory OF TIE UNI
ted States will make the greatest relative
progress in population, weal Nd the
development Of its indus kces,
within the next ten years, Rt
hesitate 10 reply, the count =,
get Sound The land is feN, 5KIt
covered with dense and very ls
timber. The climate is regular TIVE
and healthy, bearing great resepbDm
10 that of Francisco. There are numer-
Gus mines Of coal; and the whole country
is opened to commerce by magnificent
bay, which extends Two hundred miles in
land, and abounds with excellent harbors,
deep enough for the largest vessels ahoat.
This bay, named Admiralty Inlet at its
mouth. and Puget Sound in its southern
portion, offers conveniences for internal
trade unequalled probably by any other
bay in the world. There is no bar at the
mouth and vessels can pass either way
in all kinds weather, while inside the
depth of water in the channel is in no
place less than fifty feet.
South of the sound there is level tract
of fertile land, over which a railroad
might easily be made to the Columbia
river, distance of sixty miles; and the
Washinglonians hope that if they can get
the railroad, they will get with it large
share of the trade of the valleys of the
Columbia and Willamette e-trade which
now passes through The difficult and dan
gerous entrance Of the Columbia, where
the steamer Republic was not. long ago
detained for eight days before she could
get out.
The Puget Sound country had just
made a start in the development of its
resources in 1855 when the Indian war
broke out, drove away the families, ru.
ined many of the settlers, and put stop
to most of their Improvements. The dam
age from the Indians is now effectually
and finally removed, and Washington
Territory will this year take new start.
The sound already has considerable
trade for its small population. There are
on its banks sixteen saw mills, capable Of
turning out 100000 feet of sawn lumber
annually. Its straight and tall timber is
valuable for spars, and cargoes of them
are sent to New York, England, and
Australia. The farmers on the sound
have sent 5000 borrels of flour OF last
years crop to San Francisco, and this
year they will send far more. There are
several fouishing towns in the Territory,
of which the principal are Olympia and
Steilacoom.

The Yrisarri Treaty.

The States publishes several of the,ar.
ticles Of the Yrisarri treaty, just ratified
by Nicaragua, of which the following, re.
laGng to the transit roues, is one:
ART. l6. The Republic of Nicaragua
agrees that, should it become necessary
at any time to employ military force for
the security and protection of persons and
property passing over any OF the routes
aforesaid, it will employ the requisite
force for that purpose; but, upon failure
to do this, for any cause what, the Gov
ernment Of the United States may, after
notice to the Government of Nicaragua,
or to the Minister thereof in the United
States, employ such force for this, and
for no other purpose; and when the me-
cessity ceases, such force shall be imme'
diately withdrawn
This is the vital article of the whole
treaty, and if the text is correctly given
by the States, opens up questions OF i'm
measurable importance, and especially
under the new doctrine of the late and
present Administrations, that the Presi.
dent, and not Congress, has the absolute
control of the army Of the United States.
