COM M UN I C A T K D .

Remarks on the Interior of Oregon.(Concluded.)

After passing up the Snake river severalmiles, we cross over and pass up the Kus-kus- ki

a distance of 14 miles, when we conicto the valley of a small stream called Lap-wa- i.

In this valley there is a moderateamount of good, productive, alluvial bot-

tom.In passing on beyond this place up the

Ivuskuski, we leave the river entirely andpass over the elevated plains, descendinginto deep and precipitous ravines till westrike the Kuskuski again at Knmiah, about100 miles above its junction with the Snakeriver. On the way we pass through theborder of the timbered region connectedwith the Blue mountain range. Theseplains are covered with a heavier growth ofgrass than those previously passed over,particularly in the vicinity of the wood-lan- d.

The timber is a species of pine. The soilhere I should judge from the appearance,if cultivated might, in places protected fromthe winds, be made to produce moderatecrops of some of the smaller grains.

At Kamiah and in that rejjion there arc afew small tracts of very good soil, whichproduces well; but this is in the vicinity ofthe mountainous region, where the streamsare shut up in narrow rocky channels, andland fit for cultivation ceases to be found.

One remark I will make concerning thiswhole region. It is more or less exposed tofrost in consequence of its lying in the vicin-ity of the mountains. It is also exposed todroughts, and in order to ensure good crops,irrigation is necessary.

One more tract of land of considerable in-

terest, I will speak of. This is the GrandeRonde, so called from its circular form. Itis situated at a distance of 30 or 40 milesfrom the plain of the Wallawalla, and isseparated from it by the Blue mountains.

Those mountains are covered with aheavy growth of timber, consisting princi-pally of pine and fir.

In descending into the Grande Ronde,one finds himself in the midst of a beautifulcircular plain of 30 miles or more in diame-ter, with considerable indentations wherethe several streams enter the plain, and alsoat the outlet. The Blue mountains form ahigh circular wall around more than halfof its circumference, the remaining distancebeing shut up by a blufl several hundredfeet in height. Thus it u pent up on allsides, having no outlet except a deep chan-nel through the mountains where its watersflow off into the Snake river.

This plain is evidently an alluvial forma-tion. It is covered with a luxuriant growthof grass, and is susceptible of cultivation,though from its situation among mountains,crops here might be ruined by frost.

This plain has the appearance of havingbeen once the bed of a lake, whose watersonce filled its whole basin, but by the wear-ing away of the channel at its outlet, itswaters were at length drained otf, leavingits present bed of alluvial soil. More re-

motely, however, it may have been the cra-ter of a great volcano, which may have beenin action at a period immediately subsequentto the throwing up of that part of the con-

tinent from the bed of the ocean, and thismay account for its present form, and thecharacter of the walls by which it is sur-

rounded.In proceeding farther into the interior,

along the southern tributaries of the Snakeriver, the country becomes more barren anddesolate, the plains covered with sedge, andthe verdure along the small tsreams diiuin- -

ishes. There are indications also of morerecent volcanic action. Hot-sprin- gs occur,and the river banks arc in some places foundstreaming with emissions of scalding vaporand hot water. This may properly be de-

nominated a desert region, in which thereare only occasional oases.

Having now described the interior coun-try as far as is necessary for my presentpurpose, it only remains to inquire into itscapabilities and prospects.

It will be seen at once from the abovestatements that the interior of Oregon cannever become an agricultural country, andconsequently can never sustain a densepopulation. It can be turned to accountonly by raising herds and llocks, and in thisway it is capable of sustaining a sparse pop-

ulation, and a sufficient quantity of alluvialbottom can be formed, in the best portionsof it, to furnish grain and vegetables forsuch a population residing there for suchpurposes. It is necessary, however, to sayin reference to the grazing capabilities ofthis region, that they are very far frombeing superior. There are considerabletracts of waste land worth almost nothing atall, even for this purpose. The amount ofgrass also which the uplands furnish is verysmall. It is undoubtedly nutritious in qual-ity, but perhaps not morc'so than the pastures of New England. Its medium height1 should judge to be 12 or 14 inches, diminishing on the highest and more exposedplains to six or eight inches, and increasing,particularly in the vicinity of the woodlandsof the mountains where there is more moisture, to 18 or 20 inches. The ground isthinly covered, it usually growing in bunch-es, so that not more than from one-thi- rd toone-sixt- h of the area of the surface is covered. It would, therefore, require some fouror five acres, more or less, to furnish thesame amount of nutriment which one acreof pasture or meadow-lan- d of medium qual-ity in New-Engla- nd would furnish. Cattlethrive well in this region, particularly whenkept along the banks of the streams, but ithas been found by experiment that they willnot do well on the high lands away from thestreams, especially in the dry season. Sheepand goats might do well on thcie up-lan- ds.

The practice of burning over these plainsannually, which is however only partial, isan evil w hich must cease if ever the countrybecome extensively stocked with cattle.Cattle live out during the whole winter, andthis grass which dries up during the dryseason, and remains in this state throughthe winter, standing hay for the cattle togather for themselves as their necessitiesrequire. Let this all be burned over, andthe green grass which springs up in theautumn will do but very little towards sus-

taining a herd through the winter, and star-vation must ensue. Cattle and horses suflerin the winter in some parts of this regionwhen there is an unusual quantity of snow,and can find nothing to supply their wants,except on southern declivities where thesnow is soon removed by the direct rays ofthe sun.

What then arc the prospects of this regionin respect to settlement?

There is one motive and one only forimmediate settlement in the interior in pre-

ference to tho Walamct, and this is thesalubrity of the climate. In every otherrespect the Walamet is altogether preferableand w ill continue to be so till all its land istaken up and all the g-az-

ing country in itsvicinity is occupied. It is donbtful whetheremigrants will be willing to forego all otheradvuntages lor the sake of climate.

The region of country described liesfrom 300 to 000 miles from the mouth of

174

tho Columbia, or about 200 miles abovenavigable waters. The Columbia is one ofthe most dangerous and difficult rivers in

the world to navigate, and tho navigationcan bo improved only at an immense ex-

pense. The time required to make the tripfrom Vancouver to Wallawalla, 200 miles,with loaded boats, make pottages, Stc, re-

quires from nine to fifteen days, accordingto the direction of the wind, kc. The ex-

pense of transportation this distance, is sevenshillings sterling for 90 lbs. The expenseof transporting produce down this river willalso bo so great, that it will enable the Va-lam- et

settlers to undersell and take all theprofits. The only remaining method ofreaching the lower country is by a road overa dilficult,mountain from the interior to theWalamct. I would remark, however, thatthe country lying north of the Columbiamay find a more convenient outlet to thoocean direct to Nasqually; but my remarksarc intended for the region lying south ofthe Columbia.

With this drawback upon the upper coun-

try, the probability of its immediate settle-

ment appears to me very small. In timedoubtless it will be settled by herdsmen; butall the circumstances connected with thecountry point directly to the Walamet asthe first region to bo settled. When thiswhole valley shall become occupied by adense population, and the lands which arenow devoted to pasturage shall be in de-

mand for agricultural purposes, then moredistant regions may be brought into requi-sition for grazing purposes, and cattle maybe brought down from the interior bv a road

a

across the mountains, to supply the wants ofan agricultural and manufacturm" cornmu-nit- y.

Thus in time, the wholo interior re-

gion, as far as it is capable, may becomesettled in this sparse and partial manner,and become of considerable relative impor-tance in connection with a rich, flourishingand densely populated country along thesea-coas- t. But time is necessary in orderto produce all these changes, and bring intorequisition all these resources of the coun-try, which depend on a great increase ofpopulation in one part of the country, and aconsequent demand for products beyond theproducing capabilities of that region.

A. B. S.

Account of the Capture of the American Sch.Hnnnah, by pirates, near the Ilogne,China; extracted from a Letter placed atour disposal.Divers accidents occurred to the Hannah,

after you left, of the last and most seriousof which, I will give you an account.

After you left Canton, as I supposed forBombay, I went in the vessel to Manila,where I took in a cargo, and returned toMacao. On the passage from Macao toA Inimpoa, 23th Nov. whe n abreast of Li-ti- n

Islands, I was startled, as I lay in myberth below, by hearing Mr. Hapood cryout to the man at the wheel, hard vp! I im-mediately ran upon dock in my shirt-sleev- es

and stocking-fee- t, and found a largo craftlike a war-jun- k, close along-sid- e of us. (Itwas 7 J p. m., foggy and ,.ajyf ,im thevhadnot t een her stealing upon us through thegloo n.) I had hardly time to take n look ather, before a fire-ba- ll was thrown whichhirucK me on tho breast and fell upon deck.Several . more followed, and a steneh-po- t,

which last-mention-ed contrivance of tho

devil, caused mo to fall backwards over thewheel, as though I had been struck bv light-ning. I immediately called all hands aft,and prepared for defence, while I ran belowand brought up an old sword, the only cutor thrust in theweapon vessel, expecting animmediate attack by boarding. I stationedtwo hands with buckets to put out the tireset two to loose the swivel, and the rest toloading tho muskets and pistols. Our soloarmament consisted, as perhaps you mayrecollect, of an old swivel, lour miserablomuske s and six do. pistols, with a smallbrass blunderbuss.

.From these, shots were fired into the junk

immediately, and she fell astern of us; andaa wo were going about five knots, Wo werom hopes to drop her altogether. Our oldswivel, which had been loaded since leavin"Uasilau, would not go oft". Wo discharged

uiicr a wmie, by putting a coal

T II K p o L Y N K S I A N,about a pistol-sh- ot upon the weather quarter.The pirate returned the fire with round andcannister, tho latter of which came aboardin all directions, without however woundinganybody. We fired musket and pistol ballshaving no round-sho- t: and although wncould hear them rattling against his bulwarks, I am afraid that they did not nenetrate.

Tho breeze now freshened, and we distanced our adversary so much that I orderedthe remains of his 'lire-wor-

ks to be clearedaway, and the decks to be washed down.But we were not destined to bo let oil soeasily. The wind, which had until thenfavored us, died away, and our antagonist,pulling with many oars, gained rapidly uponus

1 now called the crew aft, and puttingarms into their hands, (as far as the armswent,) giving tho sword to a Manila man,(who atterwards lost it,) I told them to makeup their minds for a desperate light. Thewind at this moment caught us aback, anddrove us astern into tho pirate's bow, whowas sweeping steadily on in our wake; thecommander bawling throunh a speaking- -trumpet, and Ins crew boating a kind ofdrum, and uttering loud yells. Our poor oldswivel could not be brought to bear uponhim, in consequence of a spar bring lashedacross tho stern davits.

No sooner had the two vessels come incontact, than a perfect shower of fire raineddown upon us. My men delivered theirvolley as the pirate hauled along-sid- e, whenin the same instant, an unforeseen wrnnmimade its appearance, in the shano of ncountless number of long lances, whichswept tnc decks Irom bulwark to bulwark.

The fire and the lances cleared thp mmrter-de- ck of the mate and men, and I saw nomore of them that night. I descended intotlie cabin, where the 2d mate (not Mr.Snow)was loading a musket. I took it from In...and getting in between the pikes, clapped itagainst one of the pirates, and sent him toIns master the devil, in a twinkling. I thenmade an attempt to use the butt, but withouteffect, as they used shields, and were toolngli above me. I caught hold, as a lastresort, of one of their pikes, but it was solong mat l could not wrest it from its pos-sessor. In the mean time 1 was becomingrather a conspicuous hgure for the enemy

...wU,.b iW) us uuii isnman vugm say,to my senses. I was on my feet in a sec-ond, and in the cabin in another. The 2dmate was priming a musket. Supposingthat ho had loaded it, I took it from him andwas going up tho steps with it, when he toldme that it was not loaded. I had, at thatinstant, Hold ot one of their pikes to helo meup the steps. Several more were thrustdown the companion-wa- y, some through theside-windo- (cut since you left usj anduiutj uuwu me SKy-iig- nt.

ii ...up to this moment, escape seemed sohopeless that the thought of it had not ot- -cd my head; but now espying tho cover ofmo nreau-roo- m open, it occurred to mo thatI might conceal myself there, and if not savemy me, at least make a better bargain formy death than I could where I was.

I immediately therefore dashed into thehole, calling upon Mr. Brown the 2dto follow me, having prefaced tho movementwiiii a tew words to him by way of excuselor flight.

We had hardly drawn the cover to, whendown came several lire balls. Mad wo beenstanding there, wc should have been hallsuflocatcd by them, and easily despatchedby the villains, who wero doubtless standin"ny ready lor that purpose.

To make the story short, tho cabin was immediately filled with them, and a Ilillnrrn rummenced which ended onlv whon tlmrn wnunothing left to take; and mylittle treasures pas- -

me-- n.mus oi me rnuistines. Throughtho badly closed cover I could see theirshadows on tho ceiling as they pursued theirwork, and through the same crevice carne anodor of tobacco and opium with which theyregaled themselves.

I was morn than once tempted to rush outupon them, but the thought that, even shouldwe overcome those below, their associatesabove would spceidly suflocate us, dwterredmo.We remained in durance about half an hour

when three Manila sailors, who had savedthemselves, save one, by jumping overboardand swimming afterwards to the chain, cameinto the cabin. (The pirates let the brio'sanchor go, and paid out ten fathoms chain.)

I at first thought they were a part of thepiratical gang.but soon recognising theTa- -aieso dialect, 1 emerged from mv concealmerit and asked them what they wero doing

But I did the poor fel

lows injustice. They were only in search ofsome clothing, having lost what they had onin the water, and the pirates having clearedthe torecastlc ot all its contents. Lntortunately they had made full as clean a sweep ofmy ward-rob- e, and 1 should have been puz-zled to clothe them, had not the secondmate found his own trunk untouched. Be-

ing in an out of the way place it had escapedtheir notice.

When I first appeared to the Manila menthey would not believe the evidence of theireyes, so certain were they that I had been kil-

led, but came and passed their hands over me.When they found that it was flesh and

blood w hich addressed them, and not a phan-tom from tho other world, they seized myhands in both theirs and pressed them to theirbosoms, shedding tears of joy.

Upon reaching the deck, I found mattersworse than I expected. Tho anchor wasdown, the small boat gone, all the runningrigging cut to pieces, and what was worse thanall, none of the white men were to be found;the hatch was oil' and I hailed the hold think-ing that some of them might be concealed be-low, but received no answer. At last I sawa figure slowly decending tho fore-riggin- g.

It proved to be the pilot, but in such apanic that I could get nothing from him asto tho fate of the crew for some time. Atlast he said that the mate and some of themen had left in the small bout, but howmany, or with what success he could notteM.

THE P O L Y N E S I A N.'

OFFICIAL JOURXAL OF THE IIA WAllAXUOVEHXMEXT,

iI?0L.Y1UATURDAY' MARCH 15, 1843.

Next week we shall commence the publi-cation of n portion of the report of the caseof James Gray vs. Hawaiian Govt, and shallcontinue to do so as room permits, makingsuch comments upon the parts that appear inour columns, as they may require. In themenn while the whole report will be put intopamphlet form. The case itself is one ofminor importance, but the manner in whichit was handled by the U. S. Commissionerand his naval fellow-counse- l, with the cir-cumstances which are likely to grow out ofit, render it of no little interest to this com-munity. The questions which of late haveagitated it. are now fnv' Ul issue,The U. S. Commissioner, in open court,before a large audience, has at length statedin full the head and front of the offences ofthis Govt, towards his fellow citizens; hasdeclaimed in no measured language upon itsfaults and its deficiencies, as he viewedthem; and not content with this, has branch-ed widely from the subject for which ho ap-peared, eulogised himself, and made an acri-monious assault upon the reputations of thehighest olliccrs of ri. M.'s Govt. In this howas sustained by two naval oflicers from theU. S. S. Brandywine, then lying in the har-bor: and the peculiarity of the tri-couns- cl,

embracing as it did the highest functionaryof the U. S. Govt, here resident, the Scc'yof the Am. Commodore in command in thesewaters, the Lt. of the marine corps, with thepresence of numerous other gentlemen fromthe frigate, coupled with tho violent languageand menacing deportment of Mr. Brown,the Commissioner, must have given theimpression to spectators that the whole scenewas either intended to intimidate tho court,or tho occasion was seized as a favorabloone for making a public display of insult

1343.

towards its individual members. Perhapsthe first view is nearer correct, as Mr. Brownstated that if the decision was adverse to hisviews he had another part to perform as aCommissioner. That all this array andstudied speeching, this evading the realquestion before the court, and substitutingcomplaints, reproaches and threats, on awide vorivty of topics, should have grownout of simply the case of a sailor fined fordisturbing the public peace in a drunkenbrawl, is quite inconceivable; or is only con-ceivable on the ground of the taste whichled on a former occasion, (and to which Mr.Drown alluded, as will be found in the re-

port,) to the selection of a most revoltingcase for an exertion of diplomatic skill andcourtesy, which still remains unrivalled.Hut though the reporter's notes will fail togive a clear idea of the scene as it appearedto spectators, yet a judgment of the mannermay he formed to some extent from the lan-

guage employed, and it will remain for ourreaders to determine whether either that orthe arguments adduced, are calculated to dohonor to the country which Mr. Brown rep-resents. Whether its long and continuedfriendship, its generous treatment and carefulattention to the intero&ts of this weak nationare suddenly to terminate at the option of anindividual, who whatever may be his inten-tions, has most signally failed in the cultiva-tion of friendship, and in securing the confi-dence of . individuals of cither official orprivate standing. The violence of Mr.Brown's remarks and charges against themembers of the court before which he ap-

peared, in the anomalous situation of bothCounsel and Commissioner, as we shallhereafter show from his own declarations,varying his position to either standing, as itsuited his purpose, with all the shifting easeof coloring of theJ chameleon, might undersome circumstances induce us to producefurther evidence of Mr. Brown's peculiarhostility to this Govt. But wc shall refrainat present from taking advantage of factswithin our possession, and trust to the judg-ment of our readers for the formation of acorrect opinion of the case, by an examina-tion of what he has adduced, in the way of acharge or argument. His speech has em-

bodied the sentiments of the opposition thathas existed or does exist towards this govern-ment. It is fortunate that so public an ex-

position of them has occurred. Heretoforean attempt has been made to deny the prev-alence of such views, but they arc now bold-

ly avowed by the highest diplomatic author-ity, and countenanced by too many individ-uals for them to be passed over with the in-

difference with which wo might otherwisemeet them, were they confined simply toMr. Brown, as counsel. By their real mer-its we propose to try them. Should the re-

sult prove unfavorable to the government, itmust endure and correct; if otherwise, itsopponents will be found in the unenviableposition of cavillers without reason, andrevolutionists without reform.

But before entering upon these vexedquestions, it should be distinctly understoodthat in dealing with the views and actions ofMr. Brown as counsel, we are very far from

icvingthat they will be either entertainedor countenanced by the government of theUnited States. They are to be attributedrather to the strangeness of his temperamentand the bitterness with which he has beenfound to pursue his personal enmities, bywhich his diplomatic course has apparentlybeen greatly affected. The hostile influenceof late so zealously brought to impede anddisarrange the affairs of government, wouldseem to have him for its abettor. Thenative born Americans who arc now in theranks of the Hawaiiaus have lost none oftheir " amor patriae," and they are as keen-ly sensitive as ever to whatever may a fleetits good name; and when they see a coursepursued by her representative so diametri-cally opposed to the principles by which shehas been always governed in her intercoursewith this kingdom, so destructive to its wel-

fare and so calculated to impede its furtheradvancement in that auspicious progress

THE POL Y NESi A N .

which she has so beneficently fostered, andwhen they perceive the led joy ofthe enemies and the deep regret of thefriends of America, at the present conditionof affairs, they are filled with humiliation atsuch a spectacle for foreign nations. Theywould implore a suspension of judgment onthat nation until all the facts and circumstan-ces arc revealed. We have some acquain-tance with public men in the U. S. and withthe generous feeling which there prevailstowards this kingdom, and it is not too muchto say, that although from previous know-ledge some such a result was feared by itsbest friends, yet when the whole truth be-

comes known, its indignation and justicewill be commensurate.

From Raiatea. Queen Pomare still remains atRaiatea, living in a hut with none of ihe comforts andluxuries of life, to which previous to her difficulties withthe Trench she had heen accustomed, about her. .She issaid, notwithstanding the air of melancholy which careand grief has given her, to he Mill a handsome and inter-esting woman. Her misfortunes have certainly clothedher with an interest in the eyes of the civilized world,second to none which any of her more fortunate nndpowerful sisters now possess. I'omnie's name and his-tory is almost as widely spread as Victoria's. Theofficers of a vessel who lately called upon her, found herquietly sewing amid her women.

The French hoisted the protectorate flag upon Raiateaand the other leeward islands, hut the natives immediatelyassembled and tore them down. They arc now assem-bled in full force, to the numher of several thousand men,well provided with cannons, and determined in theirresolution to resist nny attempt made to extend Frenchauthority over them. It seems not unlikely that muchbloodshed will yet ensue before affairs become settled.The most rigid military police is established at Papeite,and martial law still prevails. Night and day a strongforce perambulate the streets, and strong forts and block-hous- es

have been built in tho rear of the town, to com-mand all approaches. Some seamen have been shot fordesertion to the Tahitians, and it is said Frenchmen areyet to be found in their rank3.

Gov. Bruat is confined to tho house with the gout.

The U. S. brig Perry brings a few day's later datesfrom Tahiti. The island still remains in a state of inqui-etude.

We arc happy to perceive that the editor of L'OceanieFranchise has extracted freely from our columns, but wewee quite unprepared to see our Mauna Hualalai dreamof the 2 1st Dec. quoted as a bona fide volcanic eruption,causing "de grands dommages."

The Prussian whaler. Le Prussia, has arrived nt T.hiti, the first of the nation that has ever appeared in thesecas.

Edm. De Oinoux, editor of L'Oceanie Francaise, hasrecovered 100 francs of M. I.ucas, merchant, before thecourt of Papeite, for defamation of character.

A French sailor, Tabre, of L'Uranie frigate, accused ofdesertion to the Tahitians, was shot on the 4th of Jan.Likewise four others condemned, are to be sent toFrance, where their fate will be determined by the king.

The late comet was noticed at Tahiti.

Much lightning and considerable thunder passed overtho town on the ?th and Sth inst., lasting for a longertime than we have ever noticed before, but unaccompaniedby much ruin.

We had the pleasure of examining at the palace recent-ly a model, about three feet long, of a Chinese war-jun-

brought from China and presented to His Majesty byCapt. Checver of the Am. schooner Hannah It is avery curious oflliir to one unaccustomed to the naval ar-

chitecture of the Celestials, Brass guns are mountedin the bow and stern on platforms, and the exposedsides are defended by matchlocks on swivels, shields,nnd lances. Both oars nnd sails are used to propel thevessel, which i very sharp nt the bow und full aft, andcontrary to our models, drawing less water there thanforward.

Mr. Jones' excellent nddress before the II. T. A.Union, Feb. II, ult., is published in the last No. of theCascade.

Rumors of various kinds are rife about town. Wehave been so long without news from Europe and theU. S. that the public have become big with expectation,and impatient with waiting. We quote a few of the fly-in- g

reports of the day, for the benefit of our out of townreaders, not vouching for the genuineness of the stuff

j from which they are manufactured. First ; there hasbce:i u light between the French nnd English at Tahitithis is in circulation among the natives here. Amongother matters, we are told that the whaler South Americahas put into Muzatlan, and may soon be expected with amail. Com. Sloat was at that port in Jan. in tho Snvan-na- h.

An American whaler, after lying there three week3,sniled for Maui, without bringing any of the many lettersthere waiting for the good people heie. If true, hercaptain must have a most stoical indifference to the newslongings of our community. Perhaps he has never felthimself tho want of tidings from "home." Mr. and Mrs.Bingham are not to leave this fall for Honolulu. Theformer London Pocket ship Montreal, Capt. Snow, sailedfrom New York early in Oct. (supposed for Boston toload for this port.) Two vessels from Boston may beexpected here this spring. Enough for the present.
