Walla Walla Branch N. P. Rail-

General Tlton, Assistant Chief Engi-
neer of the Pacific Division of the N. p.
Railroad, has just completed the survey
of the Walla Walla branch Of said road,
from Walla Walla to Wallula, distance 3la
miles, maximum grade down to Columbia
River 56 feet, on tangents; maximum
grade up from Columbia River to Walla
Walla, 20 feet per mile. a cheap line to
build and work; no summit to cross.
Total fall from town of Walla Walla to
Columbia River $50 feet The people of
Walla Walla are being actively canvassed
by the friends of the branch road to vote
county subscription of 100000 county
bonds-it requiring three fourths affirm
alive vote-and the live men there have
no doubt of the success of their projects.
Walla Walla is now the richest and
most populous county in Washington Ter
ritory, and in natural resources is not ex-
celled by any equal area in this or any
other section Of the United States. 1t is
now rapidly filling up with cmigrauts from
Oregon and the Atlantic States. With a
railroad connection with the Northern Pa
ciGc Railroad, or even with the nayigable
waters of the Columbia River, from the
head Of the valley, opening ready mar

fruit and other products, there is no part

road, whose two great branches intersect
the Northern Pacific at Otter Tail Lake
and the Red River, aud the construction
of which to the points of intersection is
to be pushed to completion this summer,
the Northern Pacific Railroad will have
before the close of the present season SIG
miles Of railroad track in Minnesota alone,
connecting the great Red River Valley
with lake navigation at Duluth, and with
the river and railroad system of the West
at St. Paul, and some so miles more at
the Pacific end. Meanwhile immigration
is pouring in to an unprecedented extent
along the track of the Northern Pacific
and its Minnesota branches, and rapidly
as its construction is advancing toward
the Red River Valley, the march of
settlement has already ovcrtaken, and is
passing far beyond it.

Common Sense View.

Among the military leaders of the late
civil war there was not one who prosecuted
the war to its close with more relentless
vigor, and not one who showed more
eager desire to conquer permanent peace
consistent with the honor and dignity of
the Government and the rights and lib
critics of the people, than Gen. W. L.
Sherman. His agreement with Jos John.
son upon the terms of capitulation of the
Southern army was a model Of statesman
ship, because it was based upon manifest
principles of human nature and common
sense. Its rejection by the dominant
party was exclusively on party grounds,
aud practically prolonged the war and its
evil consequences up to the present tune.
All the subsequent disturbances in the
South, and the unsettled condition OF that
section, were the inevitable fruits of the
rejection Of the terms of peace agreed
upon and consented to by Lincoln, Grant
aud Sherman. That Gen. Sherman is of
the same opinion still, is clearly proved by
the following dispatch
New ORLEANS, April 22d.-Gen. w.
T. Sherman, with Col. McCloy, of his staff,
and Gen Marcy, Inspector General of the
United States army, arrived here last
night en- route to Texas and the western
frontier.
He was diucd by political club and in
reply to toast, spoke substantially as fol-
lows: | believe this govern ment will keep
on growing until it spreads itself over the
entire American continent; but in order
to gain this much desired end, and to
maintain ourselves as free and ndepend-
ent republic, We have got to show more
charity toward each other. 1t has been
remarked by some gentleman who has
preceded me, that it was generally conce-
ded by the soldiers of both armies at the
close of the late civil war; that if the
question and all matters of the settlement
of the differences between the North and
South, were left to the armies it would be
settled at once, and everything would
become quietly and orderly. | so believed,
and before signing the agreement with
General Joe Johnston l called together
all the Generals under my command, and
without dissenting voice they agreed
with ne. believe they surrendered in
good faith, and would have lived up to
the very letter of the agreement and in
my opinion if there had been no recon
struction acts of Congress, and the armies
been left at the time to settle all questions
of difference between the different sections
of the country, the people would have at
once become quiet and peaceablo. l
probably have as good means of informa.
ton as most persons in regard to what is
called the ku-Klux, and am perfectly salts
fed that the thing is greatly over estima-
ted and if the ku-Klux bills we're put
out of Congress, and the army kept at
their legitimate duties, there are enough
good and true men in all Southern States
to put down all Ku.klux or other bands
of maraudcrs.
In private conversation he was even
more emphatic and unreserved. Speak.
ing of the San Domingo scheme he said
| to me:
1--WE have territory enough--more than
we have use for. We can hire coaling
station in the West Indies for $4,000 a
year, and We had better do that"
