Pacific County Correspondence.

Pacific COUNTY, Oct. 5, 1858.
DEAR SIR Just two months have
elapsed since my former communication.
My principal apology for this protracted ST.
lencc, is that have been nearly the whole
Otthat time absent from home engaged in
restoring to use, water communication from
Bakers Bay 10 Shoalwater Bay. In times
gone by, when the Chenook tribe and other
Indians were numerous here, they kept open
thoroughfare between these two bays, but
with their decrease, and custom 10 use the
route, which runs through rich alluvial
valley, vegetation sprang up and increased
90 rapidly that the Indians remaining were
unable to contend with this rapid growth,
which resulted in entirely obscuring a con-
siderable portion Of the route. The Indians
here seemed 10 have only a.kind Of tradition
ary idea Of it, and had frequently tried to
give me some information about it. In the
mouth Of July last, determined 10 ascer-
tain something more definite whercupon,
with hatchet in hand, l entered the mouth
Of little creek on Bakers Bay at the dis
tanco Of two miles from Cape Disappo;nt-
meOt, and cutting my way along the margin
Of tue stream the distance of three hundred
PAGES, | came 10 beautiful lake. Captain
c. G. w. Russell, of Shoalwater Bay, being
along with me, we succeeded in getting a
small canoe into the lake thence pursuing
the same (going due north half a mile we
discovered on old portage road, following
which, the distance of forty rods brought US
The well known Tarltt lake, sometimes
called Johns lake, thence, still due north,
distance Of near one mile 10 the lower end
Of said lake, thence entering narrow chan
nelmost densely thatched on either side with
brush and small timber, which makes its
way through level region of country 10
ShOalwater Bay. Three miles and half
from the last mentioned lake, this slough or
creek opens out to sufficient width and
depth when the tide is in for small steam
boats The tides at this point, rise to the
height of eight feet, and affect this stream
nearly half way from this 10 Tarlitt lake
There is very little fall from the lake to the
head Of the tide. In the month Of August,
lemployed few Indians and commencing
at The Tarlitt lake, have succeeded in OPEN
ing or clearing one side of the stream to
ShOalwater Bay, and am now engaged in
opening the way from Bakers Bay to Tar
III lake, which by the construction Of a
temporary breakwater at the mouth of this
homan's creek as il is called, Immediately
The beach Of the bay, the passage can be
made in boats from the Columbia river to
zoe head Of navigation on the Whillappa
'Ver, one Of the tributaries of Shoalwater
oay, distance ofnot less than eighty miles,
As also TO all other tributaries OF said bay,
making portage over land of only forty
rods The lands upon this stream are very
rich and fertile being mostly level prairie,
covered with most luxuriant growth of
grass.

A NEw AUSTRALIAN LINE.-From the
United Service Gazette, we lrarn that an
other project, for some time past in contem-
plation, Of opening direct communication
with Australia, by the Atlantic and Pacific,
across the SlIthmuS Of Panama, is on the
eve OF realisaGSn. The company started
for this great purpose has been formed and
obtained lis charter. Its board Of manages
ment has been established, with the ordina-
ry staff of engineers, nautical directors,
bankers, solicitors, ets, and we recognize
among them the names of gentlemen which
are at once a guarantee for the success and
integrity of the scheme. Several of them
arc directors Of other and most fortunate
compani,s, and the chairman is identified
with the greatest commercial triumph Of
modern times - the establishment OF the
Pcninsular and Oriental Company. The
route which the new Steam Association pro-
pose to take is tn, most calculated TO effect
a speedy passage Of any that has ye, been
suggested to the public. Milford Haven is
10 be the starting point in England for rea-
sons good, and paddle-wheel steamers will
be employed, because "thal mode of pro-
pulsion is best calculated for long voyages"
Fifty Eve days, it is computed, will be the
time required for the voyage. The pros
poets OF profit from the freight of sp,cic
alone, arc brilliant much is also promised
from the growing traffic between the West
coast of America and tho Australian colo
nies; and there can be little doubt that, as
the railway across the lsIhmus of Panama
will speedily be completed, most persons
proceeding to Australia will give the routo
a preference. This is the second British
steamship line opened 10 connect Australia
with Europe via Panama. The FIRST steamer
of the other line was 10 leave England on
the Is! of S,Ptember, and may be looked
for at Panama during the month 81 January

Death of Mrs. Jackson in 1928.

The sad bereavement in the family Of
the President, elect. reported the other day,
brings to recolleciion,a q similar painful in.
cident which occurred with almost equal
snddenness. amidst the congratulations
that surrounded General Jackson as Presi.
dent elect. in the winter Of 1928. Mrs.
Jackson was taken suddenly i'll about the
close of December. on the eve of her pre-.
parations for removing to Washington,
and in a very few days was numbered
among the dead. !, was unques,ionably
the greatest and most lasting shock Of the
old Generals life. eyentful as il was with
stirring public and private incident. His
heart, for all that gave zest to social and
domestic intercourse, was buried with the
remains Of one who had been for nearly
thirty years the pride and joy Of the Her.
mitage. Her tomb he directed to be pre-.
pared for his own sepulture when his
earthly career, in the dispensation of
Providence. should be ended; and the in
junction was strictly carried out sixteen
years afterwards. .f
The CONSERVATION at and in the vicinity
OF the Hermitage, upon this sudden accur-
renee, was universal and heartfelt. One
who remembers the incidents of the occa-
sion has described il 10 Us as rendered
doubly solemn by the fact tina, j, so quick
ly followed the shouts and bonfires Of po-
litical triumph which welcomed the news
ofthe Generals election to the presidency.
The city Of Nashville, then filled with dc.
voted friends, had just been illuminated
by the promptings Of neighborly joy. Al
though the election took place in many Of
the States early in November, and ,4ths
general result. even with slow mails, and
in the absence Of the telegraph, was soon
arrived at. the celebration was postponed
until inter- the meeting Of the electorisl
colleges. Then il was that congratulations
poured in from all quarters OF the Union,
but none came with half the heartinsss
that marked the daily greetings OF Gans.
