that the natives Of the two islands named have

An association of Cincinnati clcrgymen
held a conference the other day and listened TO
an argument from the Rev. Mr. LEONARD, who
maintained the following proposition:
An essoitia! Characteristic Of true religion Is that Il
purnC- The crafty AL0 clrVatcs the character Of the
people upon whom It excfts Its Influence"
This proposition Is entirely sound, orthodox,
and scrlptural. 1t Is not new TO the readers of
The Sun. We have repeatedly shown its i'm
portance, ana urged It upon the attention Of re-
lisionists Of every creed. We have lnbored
with those preachers who neglect H. and who
think that r,src sentiment. or mere ceremony,
or mere theology, is the sum total Of religion 1t
plcases us to see that proposition, framed in
accordance with The suns view., finds some
support among the ore lchels Of Cincinnati. 1t
must yet he recognized by all teachers Of every
religion which is worth anything.

not time to 20 farther up river, but re-
turned the same day to the jam. We

the mouth Of Kullum or Baker Tiver
some 40 miles above the jam, as well as
Mr., Stevens and Others in regard to the
upper river not visited by us; so we
! close this article with the following
summary Of the up river;
| The Skagit river valley is the largest,
the river the longest in Western Wash
ingtOn. With the removal of the Jam, it
is navigable from its mouth to point
some ten miles above the Sock. which
sire m flows into the Skagit ten miles
above Kullum, making sixty miles of
navigable water above the jam, or near
seventy-hve miles from its mouth.
Many Of the tributary streams rise
high up on the mountains, so that the
volume Of water is unusually uniform
the highest water being in the summer
1t rarely overtlows its banks. Has few
rifles, sand bars or snags above the jam
Gold, silver, iron, lead and copper are
found, some in paying quantities in the
valley. Coal OF the very best quality
equal to the best Cumberland coal, OIL
superior to it, is found at the coal noun,
tain, twenty-five miles above the jan
while at other points hard, Shiny coal
looking something like the anthracite, is
found at Kullum, also at place lowel
down on the river, between the Soutt
fork and the Stillaguanish.
Below the coal mines very little tim
ber is found near the river banks, the
high land being back from the river, the
bottoms being covered with alder vine.
maple, bareback, with small amount OF
spruce and cedar.
Above the mines the high land comes
near to or adjoins the banks Of the river;
the fir timber here is excellent, superior
perhaps to any other part of the Terrific.
ry. Around the mouth Of the Sock there
is large body of excellen: agricultural
land easy to clear The Sock is supposed
to he navigable, Some idea may be
formed Of the resources of the valley,
when of the quarter of million of acres
Of bottom and tide land, and upwards,
every acre is equal in productive capacity
at very small estimate to two acres of
the best Iowa or Illinois prairie. This
does not include the wealth to bc devel.
oped out of the timber and the coal, vet
but little of this wealth can be utilized
until the Jam is removed.
