THE WEEKLY ARGUS.
WESTERN WASHINGTON, IN PART.

We clip the following from a com
munication addressed to Gen. Stark,
while on a brief visit to the Sound
last summer. 1t relates principally,
as will be seen, to the country be-
tween the Sound and the Columbia
nver, with limited reference to the
territory bordering portions OF the
Upper Sound:
The agricultural lands Of the Ter
ritory while generally confined to the
river bottoms, are not entirely so. 1t
is frequently found that even on the
sides, and sometimes near the sum-
nit of a hill or mountain, considera-
ble tracts of rich beaver lands exist.
The river bottoms of the Columbia
and its continent streams, as well as
the valley of the Cowlitz, contain
large tracts of land of unexcelled
fertility. About midway between
Kalama and Tacoma is the Chehalls
valley, embracing, with its continents,
over 1000 square miles of the best
of agricultural lands. 1t varies IN
width from five to fifteen miles, and
extends from che base of the Cascade
range to Gray's Harbor. Large
Quantities of rich lands lie in the
bottoms of its lower tributaries.
Flowing into Puget Sound there are
the Des Chutes, Nisqually and Puy-
allup rivers, on which are some fine
arabic lands. These river bottoms
are usually sparsely timbered with
alder, vine maple, crab apple, etc.,
which are quickly and easily cleared,
at an expense ranging from FIVE to
thirty dollars per acre; and will then
Weld, on an average, from forty to
sixty bushels of wheat per acre. l
estimate that Of the lands earned by
the N. PR. R. on its I05 miles con-
structed in Washington, more than
25O,OOO acres are suitable in an emf
nent degree for agricultural uses.
The small grains are produced most
abundantly, with a large average
weld, and command the highest mar
ket price at home. And so long Is
we have the large non-producing
numbering population. the farmers
market will be at bone. These ag-
ricuItural lands are more fertile, the
country more healthy, the climate
more congenial, and the commercial
and manufacturing advantages great
er than are to be found in any other
unsettled portion Of the United
States. Il is easier for poor man
to obtain farm here than on the
prairies Of Minnesota, Iowa or Kan
sas.

VIRTUOUS INDIGNATION.

Car Peter did not more freely impress
upon his successor the selfish and practi-
cal policy which he had instituted, than
has the founder of the New York Herald
fixed the INSCRIPTIONS pursuit of.money
as the prime object of that journal. It
has been the game of the Herald always to
futter little ahead of popular move
ment, but to disappear SO soon as there
arose danger of any reverse. Before
the war, while announcing the independ-
ence of neutrality, it was always the advo-
cate of the Democratic party, SO far as
might be done without risk of loss. There
can be no doubt it had sustained the
men and doctrines of the States
rights party, but SO soon as there
was danger of confscation or in
the Herald leaped over to the
side, and blew its brazen
trumpet Justify for the Union. We re-
gard the Herald as the head of practical
md progressive journalism. It is far

to prevent it's falling into the hands OF
England. That territory extended to the
Rocky mountains. It contained some
little trading posts, with fifty or sixty
thousand inhabitants. It became q repub-
lie. Upon that territory have been erected
thirteen States and territories. Its sparse
and scattered royalists have been sue
ceeded by ten million free and indie
pendent republicans. Its factious and
feeble little posts have been replaced
by populous and progressive towns
and cities. When we think OF the
thousands of eminent men among US,
descended from the serfs Of Europe,
who are now the moral and intellectual
superiors of the nobility whom their an
cestors were born to serve; when we
think of our unparalleled progress in
freedom, wealth and happiness; when We
contrast this with ignorance and destitu-
ton, which sends thousands from Europe
to this country, we could not,
for any party advantage, or for
any alteration of the arts, elegan-
cies or nobility of Europe, consent
to unite in the ridicule which we may ex-
pect from those who prefer the rule OF the
king or the priest. We would prefer to
go reverently backward and cast the
mantle of concealment on any casual
alteration from the paths of the past.
We would not dishonor the authors of the
republican ark that has saved human
liberty from the deluge Of kingly corrup-
ton, or renounce forever the protection
it offers, even on account Of the deplor-
able dereliction of some of those who
were charged with its sacred custody.
It is an additional and painful conse-
quence of public corruption when our
own journals seizeopon such events to
ridicule and disparage this republic in the
eyes of the world. We have punished by
public prosecution the selfish knaves who
have given excuse to wound the fair name
of the republic by defamation. We have
no doubt the republic will vindicate itself
as we'll against the infamous acts perpe-
trated IN its name, as against those Of its
own inhabitants who, in the hour Of pub
lie humiliation, turn witness for the
crown.

above any ordinary necessity to make
terms with any party, and it is only when
the consideration of taking political
position would involve q mission to
France or some equivalent gain, that it
lends its powerful aid to political cause.
While the Republican party held all the
departments of the federal government,
and had almost monopoly of State rule,
the Herald jocularly Endorsed its acts, or
accepted its incidental patronage. 1t
occasionally affirmed the policy and COM
mended the character of President Graut
or administered a gentle ridicule of his
son or brother, OF playful allusion to
cigar and silence. With the recent steps
taken by General Grant to bring official
offenders to justice. and the imputed cor
ruption of department officers, the Herald
fancies that the Republican party will be
dispersed, and with characteristic treach.
cry it hastens to head the pack, thirsting for
the spoils of conquest. The Herald has, as
we fguratively say, lent its columns to an
elaborate catalogue of charges against
President Grant. They are about double
in number those which Mr.. Jefferson
fled against Lord North, the Scotch min
lister of George III. They far surpass the
indictment OF Mr.. Jefferson in the per-
sonal enormity of the attributed ofenses.
The charges which have been got into the
Herald differ from those of Mr.. Jefferson
in another particular. Each charge is
combined with an argument which, as
Stunning with the Louisiana Democracy
that an accusation is conviction, pro-
ceeds to hold the President guilty, and to
evict him from the confidence and respect
of the people.
We attach no importance to this fero-
cious assault upon the character of chief
at a moment when it may appear to be
done with impunity and with profit. The
assault of pretended friend. at the mo-
ment when the assailed is defending HIM
self. against embittered enemies, makes
but one enemy the more. This enemy,
being treacherous, is also cowardly, so
that when the attack of the more for
midable antagonists shall have been re-
pulsed, the Herald will fly yelping at their
heels.

Is THE PROPOSED RAILROAD TAX A
NECESSITY

Under the provisions of act No. 20 of
the past session, the city is authorized to
impose tax of five mills on the dollar on
all taxable property for the purpose of aid
ing in the construction of the New Orleans
Pacific railway. The State enactment has
been hailed with much enthusiasm by the
city press, and the advantages to be de-
rived from the expected expenditure of
about half a million o year have been set
forth with roseate hues and garnished
with golden fringe. Not doubt is per-
mitted to creep in anywhere that the most
perfect success will attend this supreme
effort of the taxpayers to begin a work
which, for some reason or other, the mer-
chants and capitalists Of this city, and all |
the other cities. are reluctant to engage in. |
