For the Columbian.
Steam Navigation In the Sound.

STEILAcooM CRY, Dec. "a, 1852.
Messrs. Within the memory Of
that very respectable individual, " the old
est inhabitant," there has not been such
month known, in this precinct, for severe
cold weather, (mercury in the thermometer
this morning standing at degrees above
zero), heavy gales, and frequent snow
storms, as this present one Of December..-
From its very commencement, " old Bon.
as " has had his very best hands at the bel.
lows, and they have worked most untiringly,
notwithstanding the many fervenI petitions
that have gone up for himAo cehse." The
waters of the Sound, in this vicinity at leas,
have been literally knocked all to pieces
and when one desirous Of travelling 70 Olyn-
pia, or any oiher point, by canoe, would
glance his eye sea>ward, he could not but
see and feel that there was danger without
comfort in the undertaking, and that moth,
ing short Of absolute necessity should temp
him TO embark 90
have long felt and known the eEess
need that exists for good steamer 10 ply
upon these waters, but the absolute necessi.
ty for it has never come home 10 us with so
much force as recently. All of our citi
zens who arc compelled, from time 10 time
to travel by water, have been unanimous 10
their wish for the means Of doing 90 BY
steam, but they have never expressed them.
selves so strongly in favor Of steam navigs.
ton as now and | verify believe that III
man who first puts sleam boat in motion
upon Puget Sound will be looked upon as
public benefactor. There certainly are men
in this community with sufficient capital 10
commence this much needed enterprise, and
it is very much to be hoped that there may
ONE be found Of sufficient public spiritto aci
and promptly too, in this matter.
There is not more beautiful inland SEA
in the world, or one more admirably adapt
ed 10 steam navigation, than Puget Sound /;
yet, notwithstanding this, the settlers q al
along Shore" from Dunginess, on The Strait
of Fuca, 10 Olympia, the head of navigation
on the Sound, are obliged TO argue with,
and beg, and-in many cases actually compel
the Indians 10 launch their Grail canoes and
transport them 10 and from the different
points throughout this long distance. II is
not my wish to excite hopes in the hearts Of
the people, merely that they may suddenly
be extinguished, but l will remark in Tefst-
ence to this iubect Of steam navigation,
that there is at least one public spirited ID
dividual in this precinct who eontemplates
putting boat upon the Sound, and frommy
own knowledge of his determination and
enterprise, | am inclined to believe that he
will "put her throngh at as early a day
as practicable. .,..,
Before !" wind up this yarn" ! viii Sug.
gest 10 the individual who may take holdoi
this enterprise, the proprieiy Of putting Ou
boat that shall be adapted as well for lOE-
ing Of ships as for carrying passengers.

DV We are informed that an English

Memorials to the Legislature

We understand that a memorial has been
drawn up and is at present in circulation fol
signatures, designed to be presented 10 the
legislature at its present session, for consid-
Grafton, asking that honorable body for an
appropriation 10 aid the citizens of north
ern Oregon for the survey and completion of
territorial road from the Columbia river
10 the head of Puget Sound--a distance Of
about eighty miles. In former numbers we
have adverIed 10 the subject matter, prayed
for in the memorial referred to, somewhat
at length, and cannot see how the legislature
can refuse an acquescense in the prayer ol
the memorial, provided appropriations are
granted for similar objects in other direc-
tions, without doing violence to lis convic-
tions Of RIGHT and JUSTICE.
There is another matter which we would
very much like TO see some Of the wealthy
and enterprising residents of either northern
or southern Oregon make a movement TO-
wards, by asking the legislature TO charter a
company for the construction of a road
through the Cascade mountains into the ter
riiory of =" Columbia" and allow said com
paDy to collect tolls thereon fIom year to
year until they shall have been adequately
compensated for the time, trouble and ex-
pense incurred in its completion.
As much as we may be opposed to the
spirit and tendency of chartered privileges
generally, we conceive that policy and pub
lie convenience would be subserved by the
Organization and charter of "The Cascade
Road Company Of Northern Oregon" to
be endowed with certain privileges and i'm
muniiies. We cannot expect any legislative
assistance IN aid of this work-our settle.

b~ The Kendall Company " have two
vessels which have been due at this port fol
the laa two weeks, containing our merchant,
entire supply of fall and winter goods, and
what is Of more Importance to US, our fu-
ture supply Of paper. Wehave barely stock
enough on hand for three more editions,
and should it fail TO arrive at the expiration
Of that time, we shall be compelled to sus-
pend operations for time. The winds,
no doubt, have been very unfavorable for
vessels bound from San Francisco north

" Salt Skookum" Ia few miles below Olyin-
pia J informs us, that in passing up said in
let TO its head-a distance Of about twelve
miles--he saw several small and beautiful
prairies, and was informed by the Indians
that there was a continuous succession Of
prairies and woodland extending through to
the Chickeeles, and excellent ground for
good wagon road could be had fIom the head
of the inlet to the Chckeeles country.
We are further informed by a gentleman
who resides on the Chickeeles, and who has
explored considerable of the country along
the base of the Cascade mountains, that
there are many large and very desirable
tracts of country lying between the road
from Olympia and the Cowlitz river, and
the mountains, capable Of sustaining very
dense population, afordIng a proportion of
timbered and prairie land for all. In the
country in our immediate vicinlty-lhat of
Black Lake, Hoods Canal, &c, but few
claims have yet been taken, and the country
is comparatively unknown.
The surface of the country being broken
in almost every direction by ranges of noun
tains-rugged, and many of them covered
at all seasons of the year with snow--the
thick growth of vine maple and other un,
derbrush, entangled with the fallen timber,
throughout most of our dense forests-the
almost total absence of roads, together with
the causes before enumerated, have operated
most prejudicially 10 exploration and eve
ry species of survey, so necessary to more
extensive knowledge of the Gndeveloped
mineral and agricultural resources of the
territory of columbia"
We have been informed by experienced
nautical men, that thorough survey of the
Sound, Straits, and the various bays, har-
bors, inlets and rivers connected Herewith.
could not be satisfactorily effected short Of
from six to nine months, and the importance
of geological survey, with an object to as
certain the quality and extent of our mineral
resources, as we'll as the general character
of the country as adapted to agricultural
pursuits, is seriously. demanded as a matter
of information to the public generally.
We hope to have the satisfaction to an
nounce, before the close of another year,
that parties have been organized for the ex-
Ploration and survey of the Sound, &c, as
also of the large and unOccupied region ol
country between the Cascade mountains and
the Pacific. All persons who may desire to
become citizens of our new territory would
read their reports with the deepest interest,
and the publication thereof imPar much
useful information to our present population.

Church, has been assigned to northern Ore
gon for the discharge Of ministerial duties,
and has for the present located at Olympia,

an able and agreeable minister, and his thor

Free School in Olympia.

A tax has recently been levied and col
lected from the tax payers Of this precinct,
by which all indebtedness for the erection
and completion, thus far, of the district
school house has been liquidated, leaving
fund in the treasury of some four hundred
dollars subject 10 appropriation for school
purposes. This will secure The services of
teacher for three or four months TO come,
and be the means, we trust, Of awakening an
increased interest on the all-important sub
ject Of education. .'.....,.I.
Mr.. A. w. Moore, the gentleman who
has recently opened and taken charge ol
the school, we understand, ranks high as a
man Of unimpeachable moral character-oi
an accomplished and superior education, and
as an experienced and practical teacher
the most suitable commentary as to his pro-
iciency in the profession Of teacher, mSy
be found in the rapid advancement in the ru
diments of education, of the youth who hav,
been placed under his tutorage We hop
he will be abundantly and pro6lably sustain
ed throughout the year, as we have every
assurance of his ability TO give universe
satisfaction.
According 10 recent census, there ar
twenly-one youth and children oi compel
ent age, within the district, 10 become schol
ars, and we are informed that but little owe
half that number have as yetbecome subject
of instruction. This failure on the part o
parents and guardians to avail themselves o
the advantages presented for the education
of the children under their control, arise
in part from the present extreme scarcity O
suitable school books in this section of coun
try but il IS believed that with the daily an
ticipated arrival Of merchandise for our bu
siness men, all excuse for want of books will
have been overcome. Our citizens hav,
been taxed pretty heavily for the erection o
the building-the house has been made quit
comfortable, and it is the duty all good citi
Eens 10 avail themselves Of the means for th
education Of the rising generation now pla
ced within the reach Of all. We shall e1
Pect ere long 10 hear of a number arrivin
from different parts of the country for th
purpose of attending and profting by
course Of instruction.
B9-P P. S. Since the above was in type
the roof of the school house has given wa
to the heavy pressure Of snow upon it, whicl
has completely demolished the entire build
ing. We arc happy to add, however, tina
the accident occurred at night, when tn
building was unoccupied, and that anothe
house has been secured for the purpose c
continuing the school as heretofore.
