The meeting Of the citizens Of Washing
ton Territory, pursuant TO a call in the Co.
!lmbian of tn. 14th inst, was numerously

,erprise manifested that does infinite credit
TO our new Territory.
Upon motion, WM. w. PLuNn, Esq, was

pointed secretary.
The president, in brief and forcible man.
ner, stated the Object Of the meeting, name

Information concerning the proposed

cHETT, concerning the feasibility Of the
road.
G. N. McCoNAHA, Esq, after few re-
marks, setting forth the immense advanta
ges that would accrue to our Territory, and
the necessity of every citizens lending his
aid to the furlherance Of the project, moved
that committee of five persons be appoint

The Road Across the Cascade Mountains!

The meeting in this place on Saturday
last was largely attended, and general
and generous enthusiasm prevailed. The
people of Washington are going about the
matter with spirit of admirable dctcrmina-
tion. Such degree Of enterprise has never
before been cvinced by our citizens, and
should the report of the surveying party be
favorable, there is not a shadow Of doubt
but that the road will be completed. View
ers are to start out on Monday next, and
immediately on their return and report oI
the practicability of the route, host Of able
men will undertake to open the road. Al
ready numbers have volunteered their ser
vices, and many others to provide provis-
ions, &c. Warm hearts and willing hands
are not wanting in Washington, and ii only
needs the suretS that the road is practica-
bic, and soon the line of light will guide the
toil-worn and weary immigrant to the home
10 which we most heartily bid him welcome.
Nothing can contribute more to our welfare
and prosperity than the completion of this
road, and as every citizen is interested, it is
to be hoped that all will como forward
manfully to the work and aid either by con-
tributions in money or labor, to the best ol
their ability.
We feel confident that the immigration
of the present year will enter Warrington
by the peoples route. We begin to feel as
Independent as though We had regiment
of rich relations and nobody TO share their
pronerty with US. We shall soon be able to
look upon the "toH gate" with perfect con-
tempt, and sayto the entire immigration
from the States in all future time, here make
your homes and to the few who may de-
sire to go south, that the best way to reach
Oregon is through the Territory Of Wash
ington. The committee appointed for the
purpose will soon call for contributions to
defray expenses, when we hope they will
find evsywhereopen doors aud purse strings

of Wright, Golfer & Co., and Mr.. JOHN
PARKER, JR., has been admitted as a part
ner. He has been resident of San Fran

He is well posted up in commercial affairs,
and is thus able 10 take advantage Of San
Francisco markets. They have just recei-

sell at unusually low prices, as their motto
is "quick sales and small profits" One ol
the firm is now in San Francisco, buying
goods for this market, and as he has been
here and seen the wants Of the people, moth
ing will be lacking. II is their intention to
keep the largest stock of goods on Puget
Sound, and sell them the cheapest, combina-
tions 10 the contrary, Notwithstanding.

Gov. LANE arrived at Portland on the

Judge SKINNER are stumping il for Con-
gress. The canvass wakes warm.
Personal abuse still characterizes all the
papers Of that Territory.
A communication in the Oregonian {"
signed by CIiAs. E. Fox and |. VoRHEss,
states that the body of man Goated ashore
" on the island just above Rainier, on the
Columbia river, on the Sd inst. 1t had prob
ably been in the water about a month, and
appeared to have been a young man-fve
feet eight or nine inches high-small hands
and slender fingers, as if not accustomed 10
hard labor. The head was so much decay
ed that no hair could be discovered-had a
sound set of teeth. A hole was discovered
through the thin part Of the bone Of the lefl
shoulder blade, the size of small bullet,
and resembled the mark Of a ball from a
gun, but could not be ascertained, as the
body was badly mangled by ravens. No
description Of clothing was on the body, and
no other notable marks were visible"

B6r The Ohio Marble Land Company
have discovered on their lands on the Ohio
river, opposite Portsmouth, Virginia, val
liable quarry of liihOgaphic stone. This
has been tried by several of the leading lith
ographers in New York, and pronounced Of
excellent quality. Specimens of the stone
are now undergoing very delicate tests, and
it is expected that the quarry will prove
equal to any in the world. We believe this
is the first discovery of the kind out of the

Late accounts from San Francisco say
that the Skookum Chuck coal recently
shipped from here to that place for the pur-
pose of testing its qualities for making
steam, has far exceeded the expectations of
the most sanguine. 1t was tried on board
tho steamer Senator on the Sacramento
river, and proved to be far superior TO any
coal now used in steamships. The stock is
up and speculation active. The company
interested were fitting out several vessels
for the Sound, to obtain cargoes of the
black diamonds" They will probably
arrive soon, and bring number of men to
work the mines. We also learn that the
company are resolved to carry into effect,
at an early period, their project of railroad
from the mines to this place.
