PUGET SOUND EMIGRANT RoAD, }
September 9Th, 1858. {

FRIEND McELRoY:
You will by this time have almost forgot
ten my promise to write you line OCCASION
ally, telling you of our progress upon the
road have managed now and then 10
have you learn our whereabouts, but have
never written directly, forthis obvious rea :
son ; knowing that our party have been de-
tanned upon the road much longer than was
anticipated, in consequence OF having to
cut farther than was expected, was fearful
that we would not be through in season, and
so refrained from writing lest should say
more than alter events would justify. From
where | write this morning, the shadow
from The mountain side falls upon my pa
per, and as the terminus of our work lies
some few miles from its base, feel conf
dent that this end Of our route will be com.
pletcly finished. We will probably turn
back to White river within a week. Be-
fore crossing White river for the last time,
we have some three miles of road 10 finish,
in which we put FIRE as we came out. This
will bring Us out upon Tanalquot prairie,
and from there we strike the old cut road
leading out towards Muck"
am much better satisfied with the route
than when ! started, though as you may re-
collect was not little sanguine then. 1t
will make an excellent road, and all who
travel over it speak highly of it had the
pleasure a week or so ago, TO see Lieutenant
Hodges, who has gone in 10 Sleilacoom to
pack out provisions for Capt. Mcclellan,
who is now camped near the Yakima. Ths
Lieutenant speaks in the highest terms of
"ur Iold. and u its superiority over Al! OH

er pa ses yet seen by them. We have but
one really bad hill, down the mountain side,
which is with our limited time and means
for improving, without doubt a bad place.
but can be made with but little outlay very
good. Il is not, however, to be compared
with " Laurel llill" upon the other route,
and i, rests upon its own merits alone, as it
has not, like Lauscl Ilill an inlnitudo OF
others TO back it. / only regret that we
cannot remain long enough To make it as
complete as we would wish, and so made
the whole road so excellent, that the idea
Of crossing the Cascade range would be no
lonser as heretofore bug bear, and a terror
to the toll worn emigraut. The grass also
is much better than was anticipated. The
parties upon the summit are now waving
with aluxurianl growth Of grass, amid which
have noticed timothy and clover. There
is no laurel upon the whole route, neither
as far as can ascertain) any poisonous
plant to iniure cattle, and this, to those who
have crossed the southern Cascade road and
have lost animals thereby, will be an item Of
no small importance. On the whole, the
people Of Washington Territory will have
reason 10 be proud Of their "peoplo's road. "
BY some error the list of men working
upon the road was mislaid before reaching
you. copy it again for you the more
readily now, because Of their unwavering
perseverance in adhering to the road des-
pite Of all discouragements and disappont-
ments, coming out as they did with the view
Of remaining one month, and the prospect
now looming out large Of consuming two.
The names we gave last week.
The greater part of these have taken
claims upon the White river prairies, where
! have seen the most desirable farming lands
probably in Washington Territory, combin-
ing good soil with a reasonable vicinity to
good markets upon the Sound. The great
er portion of the men working upon the
road depend upon their labor for their sub
sistence, and have now the prospect before
them Of ths rainy season coming in, and no
provision mt de by them for winter. 1t is
not asking too much Of our citizens, TO re-
quest through your paper that those who de-
layed giving before, because doubtful that
the road would be completed, now to give
literally to enable the men who have work
ed upon the road so faithfully, to receive at
least a small portion of their wages imme
diately, so that they may be able to await
Legislative or other action for the forthcom-
ing Of the balance.
Tomorrow Mr.. Moore sets out for Wal
la Wslta, to endeayor, il not too late to
turn the emigration, 10 bring in the first
train which has ever entered Washington
Territory by the Peoples Road. ! should
be but little surprised if Governor Stevens
made his " entreo" by the new route. Mr..
Winthrop passed some ten days ago on his
way 10 The States via Salt Lake.
! havo some curious specimens 10 show
you upon my return some copper ore, pare
birthstone, and something almost coal-lhe
two former in large quantities cs-lhe latter
with considerable "klonass" " attached 10 it,.
/ have a doubtful way of sending these
few lines to you, but hope they will come
saIel y to hand, and so remain
Yours, Respectfully,
EDWARD J. ALLEN.

B4-We have received the proceedings of
adcmocratic meeting in King county, with
the request 10 publish them. We must dc.
cline doing so, for the reason that if we do
it for one party, we will have to accord the

THE PEOPLES ROAD
Arrival Of The first Immigrant.
HIGONS COMING
Discovery ofGold Mines.

sc. SC. &C.
Mr. AuLv, the fret immigrant ly the
PlorLr's ROAD, reached th, place ON Mon
day last, via S.cilacoom. lie left his train
of - wagons on the Wenass river under the
charge Of Mr.. y. SARGENT, and came in to
procure nour-his party being nearly, if not
entirely without. Mr.. ALLEN at once de-
spatchel 300 lbs. from the camp of the
workmen on the road, near the Puyallcp
river. By this commendablc promptncss on
the part of Mr.. A., the train will be enabled
to hold out until the ample supplies sent
out from this place reaches them. So soon
as it was known in this place that the immi
grants were short Of provisions, Col. SIM
Mons, and others, took active measures to
send out relief, aud Mr. Aikia was enabled
10 leave for his train the next morning with
1000 lbs Of flour, onions, etc The follow
ing persons accompanied him from this place
10 render assistance, viz; B. Gordon, T..
Bush, J. Kindred, NJ. Jones. On the day
previous, o. Cushman and w. Sargent left
this place to meet the immigration and lend
their assistance in getting it through.
Mr.. Akin reports sixty or seventy wag-
ons as certainly coming the new route, and
having crossed the Columbia river for that
purpose. They are determined to come in
through the new road at all hazards, Father
than follow the old one into Oregon,
Gold has been discovered near the road
by Capt. McClcllan's party. Also copper
and birthstone, both in large quantities.
Full particulars will be found in the an
nexed letters from our attentive correspon-
dent, Mr.. Allen.
SrElLAcoOM, Sept. Goth, 1853.
FMEND SMITH:
This will be handed 10 you by Mr..
Aiken, the first emigrant who has crossed
upon the "Puget Sound Emigrant Road. 3"
He leil train of 80 wagons upon the We
mass River, and reports 60 in all as having
crossed the Columbia. Some of them are
out of Flour, and he brings in a letter ad.
dressed to NJ. +. Simmons, praying the
Washinglonians TO send out relief 10 them
have sent out from our camp on Puyallup
300 lbs. -four, and have come in 10 Stella
COON to pack out more for our own use
The train is under the guidance Of Nelson
Sargent
Capt MeClellan's company discovered
gold upon the Yenass. Some Of his men
told Mr. Moore that with "long tom p"
they could wash nut 81 per day.
Carr. McCLELLAN REPORTS 40 rAss BE-
TWEEN OUR ROUTE AND VANCOUVER THAT
Is PRACTICABLE FOR A WAGON ROAD, and
has in part accepted our work, subject to
the approval Of Gov. Stevens.
There has been as yet no snow upon the
mountain, and will not be probably for some
time. There is only about ten miles of the
whole Route upon which snow lays to any
depth even in mid-winier.
The first opening Of a road through our
heavy fir timber, however great the amount
of labor expended, must necessarily leave
it a rough road but this years travel, and
the work which next year will be given 10
il as military road, will probably make ii
the best road Of its length in the two terri
tories.
We will be through this week, having
completed the western portion OF the road.
| leave to-day with pack animals, and will
be at the camp on Puyallup tonight.
Yours,
