Of section Q. as found in Brightly's Digest,
page ST., that we conceive. and have once
decided, is applicable TO Washington Terrific
ry. That clause is as follows: "If any per.
son or persons shall cut, or cause or procure
to be cut, or aid Us assist or be employed in
cutting any live oak or red cedar tree or trees
or other timber on, or shall remove, or cause
or procure to be removed, or aid or assist or
be employed in removing any live oak or red
cedar trees, or other timber, from any other
lands Of the United States, acquired, or here
after to be acquired, with intent to export,
dispose Of: use or employ the same in any
manner whatsoever, other than for the use Of
the Navy Of the United States; every such
person or persons SO offending, on conviction
thereof before any Court having competent
Jurisdiction, shall for every such offense pay
a fine not less than triple the value of the
tree or trees, or timber so cut, destroyed or
and shall be imprisoned not exceed
ing twelve months" Buying clothing Of SOL
tiers Of the United States is made an offense
by the act of Congress, and is punished by
fine not exceeding $500, and imprisonment
not less than one. 1t has been reported that
a breach Of the law, in this respect, has been
in this district. If SO, it is YOUR
duty to direct your attention to this subject.
The offense is serious one, and should be
regarded as most disreputable.
These, gentlemen Of the grand jury, are all
the offenscs against the laws of the United
States to which l shall at present advert If

obedience, claiming from it protection, and
bound as we ought TO be to it, strong as the
first beatings and impulses of "wedded love-"
obtained complete and sole control over the ex-
tensive domain Of this Territory. All, since
that period, can see and mark the change.
Within that time to the present, notwithstand-
ing difficulties and dangers, here have been
traced the footprints Of numerous, hardy
and adventurous population. The woods

sounded amid primeval forests, as q part Of
the indices Of the progress of civilization.
AS it regards school-houses, temples Of wor-
ship and Of justice, we offer neither censure
nor praise. From present indications there
will be vast increase in population the pres
ent year, at least in one portion Of your Ter
ritory. Golden attractions. it is feared. will
cause assertions by scores from the farm, the
shop and marts Of merchandise. In what has
been enumerated as seeming advantage As

country by no means to be deprecated. Upon
the placid and rufled surface Of your "Sound,"
ships and other craft, from almost all parts Of
