CUMBERLAND GAP AND LONG BRANCH.

In November 1863, after Longstreet's
hosts had been driven from the ramparts
of Fort Saunders, and the gallant defense
of Burnside's little army had practically
raised the seige of Knoxville, a new and
alarming danger confronted the rescued
hosts in the meager supplies of the com
missary department and the scarcity OF
corn and wheat in the desolated valleys
of East Tennessee. The army had driven
back twice its numbers and achieved q
significant victory, but the danger
still confronting it was alarming.
The people of East Tennessee, with
a devotion to the Union unsurpassed in
anv section had given up their last corn
and wheat-had even left their homes to
refugee on the banks of the Ohio, so that
non-eombatants might not hamper the
armv's movements. Their homes, and
fields, and barns had been stripped of
everything.
In this critical condition the news of
Grants glorious victory at Chattanooga
cheered the gallant little band. Supplies
they knew would soon come. The
long road from Kentucky over
the sleeps of the Cumberland had
been closed. The wagon trains had found
it impossible to bring over the mountains
stores enough to supply the army. While
the officers were debating what relief was
practicable, General Grant, with a few
faithful officers, came up from Chattanoo-
ga TO see, from personal inspection, what
could be done for the suffering troops.
After review of the field, the General
saw that the only practical way to supply
East Tennessee must be through Cumber-
land Gap. In order to determine lust
what could be accomplished by that route,
he determined to see for himself the diff
culties to be overcome. When his pur-
pose was disclosed, his officers re-
monstrated with him as to the inn
practieability of his making the trim
at that time. The mountains were heavy
with snow, the roads were impossible and
the weather was unusually severe. Men
sheltered in hospitals had been frozen to
death in Kentucky, and on the mountains
the cold had been intense. But General
Grant saw only the sufferings of his troops
and his duty. Taking few of his staff.
he set out in January, 1864, on his perilous
trip, and after days of great hardship and
intense suffering he reached Kentucky and
speedily relieved the army's wants.
This is the man who when wars dangers
are over, and the duties of his trying posi-
ton a. Washington are temporarily light,
seeks rest at Long Branch, only to lind a
bitter partisan press bounding him as a

The editor of the Press and Herald
charges an editor of the CHRONICLE
with falsehood in saying that in
making a calculation of the proba-
BILE result of the coming Presidential
election he was misled by a typographical
error of the New York Tribune The
charge is insultingly and confidently made.
If the Chronicle editor referred to, had
ever sworn to lie in a judicial proceeding
and in open court had plead five years of
beastly intoxication in extenuation of the
crime. he might consider that his
veracity could be put in issue by
the PesS and Herald charge of
yesterday. But inasmuchas his truth
fulness has never yet been questioned by
a gentleman, he does not now feel it is
doubted. Fortunately however he has in
his possession the Tribune table in question
where the typographical error that misled
him can be shown. If respectable man
ever questions the fact, the Tribune table is
on hand for profert. Until then he consid-
ers the matter entitled to no further or
more serious notice.

THE sentiment which turks in genial To-
caIities and DEVELOPS itself as in the case
of the outrageous attack last week on
Judge Settle, of North Carolina, is an evil
dence that the germ of slavery still exists
in Southern soil. It is the same spirit
which few years ago rendered free speech
and free thoughts myth and mockery
all over the Southern country. It is the
same spirit which. would have rendered
a reader of the New York Tribune as
odious as horse-thief, and would have
subjected the man who dared to raise his
voice against slavery, to coat of tar and
feathers. and free ride on rail through
the public streets of Southern city. I'm
til this feeling is extinct, and until men
may express their opinion in one section of
the Union as in another, the people will
not forget to provide for checking the
spirit which leads to mob law.

several others are in the prospective.

The appointment of Hon. Geo H.

the Cabinet has of curse been an
nounced through the medium of
Geographic dispatches + this time.
Last evening a party of gentlemen
from the Pacific States and Territor-
les. numbering about twenty, with
several representatives Of the press,
called at the rooms of the new Attor-
rey General in the National Hotel,
to extend their personal congratula-
tons to Judge Williams, who justly
enjoys the respect of Pacific coasters
residing here, without reference to
political differences. Mr.. Clagett,
the Delegate in Congress from Mon
tana. on behalf of the company
present, made a few congratulatory
remarks. Delegates Jones. OF Wy
oming and Mccormick of Arizona,
stated that the people Of their res
pective Territories would be gratitied
at his appointment. Secretary OF
Senate Gorham said the Republicans
of California would rejoice with the
party drought the country. Col. j.
G. McKibben our old Coyote Joe, }
said that some Democrats were also
gratified, OF whom he was one.
Mr.. Williams replied in a neat
speech, thanking those present for
their kindness in calling on him,
and assuring them that all the abil-
tiles and energies be possessed would
be devoted ss the enforcement of the
laws, and the suppression of vialence,

our population to something nearer
the dignity ofStatehood. At present
Nevada's IL, 600 is ridiculous. This
project. it will be recollected, has
been advocated before ; but it was
killed by tie Nevada politicians

How or when KILLED by Nevada
politicians?" 1t is true that the
proposition was made in the last
Senate OF Nevada, by Senator Bonni-
field. we believe, to take preliminary
steps for the consolidation of Utah
and Nevada. The committee eventu-
ally reported against the PROPOSE
ton, and then and there the matter
was dropped, the Legislature adj
iourning soon after. The Herald Is
mistaken about the proposition hav-
ing been killed by Nevada politi-
clans. 1t has never been considered
by them seriously. The press dis
cussed the somewhat, and
generally viewed the proposition
f~avorably. 1t lies in allegiance at
present, as it has for nearly a year.
If the Herald thinks the pcopo-
siton worth pressing it will dis
cover that all of the Nevada pollti-
clans are not against it. On the
contrary, quite the contrary.

Where the Great City on the Sound il to be
From the San Francisco Post.1

"neIe the Great City on the SOUND - 20 De.
From the San Francisco Post.l
Ever since it has been certain that
the Northern Pacific Railroad would
be built, there has been a great deal
of inquiry and a great deal of specu-
lation as to what point on Puget
ISound would be selected for the
western terminus of the road, and
no wonder, for it is within the
power of the railroad company to
to build up at any point on the
Sound which they may choose, a
great city, which is certain to be-
come the second on the Pacific Coast
and perhaps ultimately to contest
the palm with San Francisco itself.
This question of location, we are in-
formed by W. L. Ballou, one of the
land agents of the Northern Pacific,
is now settled, and North Whatcom,
OF, as it is to be called, Puget City,
has been decided upon as the site OF
the western terminus.
The site OF the new town is about
twenty-three miles south Of the
old town of Whatcom, at a point
wherethe Nook Sank river debouches
into the sound. \ long narrow
island in front of the new town di-
vides Bellingham Bay from Lumi
Bay. Upon this island it is said to
be the intention of the company to
build their warehouses and make
their grand depot. Puget City is
splendidiy situated as regards water
Communication, being opposite the
point where the Straits of Fuca join
the Gulf of Georgia aud the Straits
of Haro aud of Rosalio meet. The
site is almost level. Back of it lie
large coal beds, and the country to
north and east is described as a
splendid agricultural region; along
the North Sack, the Frazier and
tributary streams are to be found
some of the finest pasturage in the
country, on which large herds of
cattle are already fattening.
Much of the land between Puget
City and the British line has been
already taken up by German lmml-
grants, of whom there are some
three or four hundred families who
came out to Washington Territory.
1t has been laid off into blocks and
lots, and for the past week these
have been offered for sale at the rate
500 per lot of 20 by 40 feet, the
terms being one-third down and the
balance on a credit of n and two
two years. Two hundred and sixty
four lots have been sold, but Mr..
Balloon received orders to stop the
sale of lots. 1t is expected that
work upon the main line will be
commenced at Puget City in the
Spring, and pushed East. Work
has already been commenced on
the branch line which is to run from
the Columbia north to the main
trunk. The Columbia river terminus
is a place called kalama, about thirty
miles further down the river than
Portland. Sixty miles have been
graded, aud the contract for laying
the iron has been let; 1892 bars of
iron and one locomotive are already
here, and WILSON be shipped north.
W. I. Ballou, the land agent of
the Northern Pacific is the old
Frazier River expressman, who will
be remembered by all who partici-
pated in the rush" of SO, and who
made a reputation then for energy
and enterprise which he has ever
since maintained.
