We WIN relate an incident that recently
occurred on board of the NoMinee, while
making down "trip from ST. Paul. The
boat had just rounded out from Paint Rock
and was running close under the Iowa
shore, when person was observed. by the
Captain, making sis nal from the beach by
waving his hat npon the muZZle Of the gun
In moment tap Of the bell announced
that the signal had been Observed and that
the boat " ould land. Accordingly as the
boat approached the shore the Captain re-
cognlZed the stranger as a hunter, by the
name of Nose Sickel, who had long resided
IN that region of country, and who then
stood with his hands crossed upon the muz-
zle of long rifle; bis head thrust forward,
apparently endeavoring 10 discover if the
Captain was aboard; but not recognizing
hitn among the passengers, be shouted out
81 say, you. is Captain Smith aboard %
The Captain Immediately answered him,
and after exchanging the usual salutatons
ot recognition, Nose observed ID say,
Capt, what's the price of bar at Galena
now" The Captain without a moments
hesitation, in his usual polite manner an
swered, two dollars AMI half" "Well,"
continued the enquirer, "i've got one cf the
varnIints here, and don't care if you take
him along" "Certanly," replied Smith
who then gave orders to make a line and
run out plank. In the meantime, Nose
had repaired to the timber near the shore,
but soon made his appearance, trailing be-
hind him yonng cub, secured at the end Of
a strip Of linn bark. Bruin hung back bear
fully, seemingly determined not to leave his
native Willis for the uncertain pleasures of
a steamboat excursion, aud just as his own
er had succeeded in dragging him ahou,
balf way up the plank, the steam whistle Of
the boat gave one Of its lOudest thrilling
screams, when both Bruin and his master
bounded into the river, the latter exclain-
ing as he went, "Bus,ed, by thunder ~
Both, however, were safely received, and
Bruin secured on board, when the Captain,
after receiving the necessary instructions,

PACIFIC CITY.-This is the name given to
new settlement at the mouth of the Co
lumhla river, IN Oregon, which is destined
we think, TO become place of no little i'm
portance. 1t has fine harbor, easily ac-
cessil'le, aud being outside of many of the
most dangerous places in the Columbia rv.
er. must in time become the principle sea
port in Oregon. 1t is situated on the North
shore of the river, inside Of Cane Disap-
pointment The land back Of the City for
considerable distance is level, aud is ad.
mrably adapted TO farming purposes
whereas at Astoria the land is mountainous
and rocky. We have before us a chart of
the mouth of the Columbia. prepared from
the surveys Of Commander Wilkes Of the
Exploring Expedition, which gives an idea
of the capacities of the harbur Of Pacific
City.
The harbor is completely sheltered by Cape
Disappointment, which makes out around
it in the form of a half moon. The entrance
is by the usual channel Of the river, the
course being Northeast after passing the
first hai, to the Cape, inside of which there
Is good anchorage, the least depth Of water
outside Of the commencement OF sboal waite:
being four fathoms. The shore of the
harbor is sandy, aud shoals gradually from
twenty three feet al low water at distance
of six thousand feet from the shore.
Pacific City has been made the depot
for Howland & Aspinwal's line OF steam
ers. Here the distributing postoifice is es-
tabli>hed, and The mails are transferred to
steamers running up the river to Astoria,
Oregon City, &c. The place has been hut
recently settled, and of course contains hut
few families. Ii will soon however receive
an accession of settlers from the New Eng
land States. The ship John Wade, from
this port, which sails on Monday, carries
out several passengers, and among the num-
ter Cbaiies M. Blake, Esq, native of
Maine, but for many years resident of
Philadelphia, and more recently one of the
editors of the Pacific News, established at
San Francisco. MIR. Blake returned to
this country some months since on visit,
and to take out his fimily to his new home.
We are indebted to Mr.. Blake for the
chart which we have mentioned, Of the
mouth OF the Columbia river. This chart
is one o! the utmost Importance to mariners,
but we learn cannot be procured. An ap-
pliation was made by Congress several
year since. to publish a large number of
these charts, but President Polk took the
responsibility of returning the appreciation
to the Treasury, where the money was
wanted for the Mexican war. Thus this
valuable chart is, comparatively speaking,
lost to mariners, limited number of copies
only having been issued. We hope that
measure will he taken at the next Of Con-
gress to have the results Of the survey of
Commander Wilkes accessible to the COM
munity Il Boston Journal.
