SITKA.

FTcra the Alaska Times, June 25th, 1BCX

Sitka, formerly known as NewArchangel, is the principal city inAlaska. Heretofore but little wasknown of it, prior to its occupationby the Americans. It was formerlythe headquarters, cf the RussianAmerican Fur Company. It is inlatitude 57 c 2' 45" north, long.135 0 17' 10" west.

The harbor of Sitka is safe andcommodious, and except on rareoccasions as smooth as a mill pond.The wharf, which has been in use along time, is getting dilapidatedneeds repairing ycry much. Thereis ample material, and room to buildan excellent wharf, so as to allowvessels coming to this port to comealongside and discharge their car-goes. Near the wharf is the bat-tery, very different in appearanceand material from what it was inthe hands cf late owners the Rus-sians. The same may be said ofthe garrison, the quarters do notlook the same, having undergonethe most improved system of trans-formation.

The General's house is a sourceof marked observation. It can beseen many miles out at sea beforeentering our harbor. It is built 'ona rocky eminence. 80 fe-o-t above the.level of our harbor. It commandsa fine view of all the approachesby land and water, and is a verycommodious building. It was orig-inally built for the accemmodationof the Russian governor and noexpense- was spared to make it aprincely habitation. The CustomHouse is also a fine building, andin its immediate vicinity there areseveral warehouses, and some com-modious stores, several of them do-ing a large and profitable business.

The Greek Church,with its domeand spire of Oriental styla, is abeautiful structure, and attractsconsiderable attention from strang-ers arriving here for the first time.The military hospital is a large androomy building, and like many ofthe other Russian houses, has aniron-slieete- d roof.

3Iany new buildings are in pro-cess of erection. Roads and side-walks are daily being made, andindustry and enterprise see-i- n visi-ble all over our city, notwithstand-ing the dull times which dxist heroat present.

The citizens have formed a civilgovernment, hold elections, collect

Everything of this classis arid ever wall be, entirely eschew-ee- l

There arrived in Omajia, on lastWednesday, 3Ir. Wm. F. Petit, and.his family, from Owatonna, Minn.,ai route to Santiago, in SouthernCalifornia. His daughter, LizziePetit, was accompanied by her af-fectionate lover, 3Ir. Crosby WThoo-le- t,

a young man w ho in childhoodhad been her playmate, and in man-hood her constant companion. ;

During the transfer of passengersfrom the eastern to,the western de-pot, the young couple were placedin one omnibus, while the familywere all transported in another.The conveyance containing the hap-py pair accidentally broke downwdiile on its way to. tho Union Pa-cific depot. The result was, theseparation of Mr. Petit and familyfrom his daughter and her lover.The latter having been left in Oma-ha.

He had in his possession the ticketand checks for baggage belongingto his "to-b- e bride," and about 500dollars in money. The young laelybecoming alarmed at'Jiis protractedabsence, yesterday sent for theMarshal and had a search institut-ed for his whereabouts. A detect-ive reports having seen him in akeno bank at a late hour Wednes-day night, and it isfpossible thatthe. young man has met with foulplay, but the general impression isthat he must have lost his littleworldly store of greenbacks, and 'either left the city in a state ofdistraction, or, having been luckyin his gambling scheme, was in-

veigled to some secluded spot andhe met with foul play.

From the Iowa Coppevhoad.The follovring, from 31 r. John-

son's speech in response to a sere-

nade in Washington City, is livelyreading :

It was not necessary to turn at-

tention to the oilier end of the av-

enue cries of hear, hear notwas it necessary to do more thanto point to the tyrannical bodycalled Congress, which attemptedto absorb every single power ofthe President. lie had called them" tyrants standing with the mfrrlcdheel of power on all the necks ofthe freemen of the United States,"endeavoring to blot ont the lineswhich separated the State, to wipeout the other two eo-ordin-

branches of the Government, andin this Congress stood omnipotent.'SI tell you here, my countrymen,"he said, " that if I were compelledto make a choice (and thank GodT am not so compelled as yet), Iwould take one individual whowas honest, wise, patriotic, andjits., as my ruler or master, inpreference to a congress so usurp-ing, capricious and corrupt. Avoice :. " that's so," and applause.Let us talk about those things asthey are. v e even hnd a differ-ence among them as to whethertliey would take such a govern-ment as an omnipotent congresswould impose, or an imperial gov-ernment. Such feelers have beensent out. They wish to developwhat sentiment there is in thecountry. Take a paper especiallyin New York, in which, no doubtis the emanation and reflection ofa certain combination of individu-als some of them, perhaps, residingin Washington ;aud when we turnto the title page what do Ave see ?"On one side, " The empire ispeace 7" and on the other side thequotation us have peace!"Laughter. The meaning of this

is, "Let us have the empire withGrant at its head and we shall havepeace." Laughter and applause.

you find lurking behind this adebt of twenty-fiv- e or twenty-eigh- t

hundred millions of dollars. Thrirreat fear is that the people are notto be trusted, and will not pay it ;

and hence we must have a stronggovernment with an army at ourbacks, and when the people be-

come restive as to the payment oftaxes, they are to be compelled todo so' at the point of the bayonet.I know what I say, and, not to boegotistical, I know what is beingprepared for the American people.We find the single item of one hun-

dred and fifty millions to be col-

What liasit done? , You will fee that in theinaugural address it h stated thatif any body is in favor of repudia-tion to the extent of a single farth-ing he cannot hold anofiice underthe government. Lang iter. Butwhen you go to this congress, soconscious were they of the greatfraud practiced in various atrociousways, they came forward and pro-posed to repudiate one-thir- d of thowhole debt. u It is nominated inthe bond" to say six per cent., andyet congress, in the rice of thissolemn contract, proposed to re-duce it to five, four and three percent.

There was an in-

stitution in the South to whichthere was great prejudice. It wasestimated, when considered in itscharacter and shape as property,to be wortli thousand millions ofdollars. I was no advocate ofslavery. The negro walked oil',and just as this property disap-peared in one section, it appearedin the shape of government- - 'locksand bonds fit the other end of theline, instead of existing in an insti-tution which wns productive to thenation and the world. I can tellyou vrhere it is. Go look into thevaults and see tho great stacks ofGovernment bonds. Ilo-- y manyfields does it plow ? How manyships docs it build? How muchwealth does it add to the nation ?

Can anybody tell me? A voice"None." It t lie re remains cor-

roding and eatiug out the govern-men- tvitals. The query comes up

Are the American people goingto tolerate these things ? Insteadot such a vast amount of creditand capital being locked up in thestrong boxes it should lie forcedout of the hands of t lie bondhold-ers and forced to seeking invest-ments in suc-h- n eterpris.es as wouldadd to the wealth of the countryin the development of its resourcesand in works of public improve-ment. After thither remarking onthis and kindred suhjects, he said:We once had a Washington inthis country, and thank (rod for it.Applause. I have heard it said

we have a second Washington. Avoice: "Wo have him yet." Ishould like to look at hi fa Ap-
