been travelling with horses all winter The
greatest depth of snow found by Lieut
Grover was two and half feet, and that
on the mountainspurs overhanging Clarke's
fork. The railroad will be located on the
side hill, where the snow will be much less
in depth. A practicable route to the
Sound for the road will be over the Cas-
cadcs by the Sno-qual-me pass. Mr. Tink-
ham crossed this pass in January. For
six miles on the divide the snow was from
six to seven feet 1t then rapidly died out
both easiwards and westwards, only about
forty miles in all, having snow from one
and half feet to six feet. The Columbia
river line aifording a connection with both
Oregon and Washington, will be recon-
mended as certainly practicable, but requi-
ring subsequent examination. The results
Of the survey may be summed up as follows:
Three lines run from the Mississippi river
to the Rocky mountains ; nine passes ex-
plorcd in the Rocky mountains to the end
of January three lines run from the
Rocky mountains to the Columbia river
and Puget Sound the Cascades explored
from the Columbia river to the 49th par
allel Puget Sound examined with refer
ence to a railroad depot the fact that not
the. slightest obstruction will occur from
snow established beyond controversy,
Gov. Stevens goes to Washington to
urge continuation of all the surveys. He
will urge the making surveys to establish
the practicability Of a connection between
the northern and southern routes, by the
Willamette and Sacramento valleys, and
the best mode of connecting California,
Oregon and Washington with the Great
Salt Lake settlement, and the route east
ward to the frontier Of Iowa and Missouri

at the entrance Of the great inland waters
of Puget Sound. The harbor is good, and
easy Of access. The Government is about
erecting the CustOm-HOuse there, and it is
now port of entry. The winds prevail
on the coast, from the month Of April to
October, from the northwest, and for the
remainder Of the IL months, from south
west TO southeast. The wind blows hard
from the eastward at times, in the winter,
SO that ships cannot carry sail
to beat into the Straits Of San Juan de

should, when near the entrance and the
weather easterly looking, get into Neeah
Bay, at Cape Classet, and anchor until the

quired (by all who know me) for the cor

OUBA.-There is apparently change Of
opinion going on in the minds Of the states
men aud journalists Of England in regard
to the transfer Of Cuba from the jurisdic-
ton of Spain. The London Shipping Ga
zette holds the following language upon
this subject, which corresponds with opin-
ions that have been advanced in other Lon
don papers;
Politically it would be wrong to allow
the United States TO possess this island ;
but morally and commercially it cannot too
soon change masters. At the same time
we would rather see it in the hands Of a
country that neither dealt in slaves nor tol-
Grated slavery. So long as Cuba remains
under the Government Of Spain, we never
expect to see it other than it is-the great
slave focus of the world. That Cuba will
be added to the dominion Of the United
States, we consider matter Of certainty +;
and, setting aside the policy Of the ques-
tion, It will be Fortunate event for civil
zatiOn and humanity.
When we find an object on which Great
Britain has expended so much money, and
on the accomplishment of which the nation
al feelings are SO much engaged, defeated
by such a country as Spain--a country
which has neither moral worth nor politi-
cal influence to command respect or con-
sideration-we cannot but regard its re-
verses in this instance with satisfaction"
When the subject was brought up in
Parliament, as stated in the above para
graph, Mr. Golden hoped that England
would never interfere to prevent Cuba fall
ing into the hands Of the United States--a
consummation towards which events seemed
to be ripening

KossUTH.-Private letters received by
the Europa, from Gov Kossuth, state
that he was induced to postpone his depar-
ture for Constantinople, which had been
positively fixed for the 23d Of December,
BY the necessity Of some further prepara-

been invited to Turkey By the Government;
and adds that provision will be made to
transport thither from the United States,
oil the Hungarians who proved themselves
good soldiers in their war for independence,
and who may desire to go. Lord Dudley

fairs Of the public lands of Washington
Territory from those Of Oregon, by estab-
fishing the former territory into an addi-
tional surveying district. This change be-

Mans tJnehsritbleness,

n the sovereign Of the universe were as
uncharita5le as his human creatures who in
habit this earth, the whole human race would
long since have been swept away In his wrath.
Men who would rend this Union 10 nieces, be-
cause some real or imaginary evil enters into
its Constitution, and has become the object Of
their uhgovernable hatred, might Study with
profit the long suffering forbearance of the
great Ruler. But poor, foolish man makes
but a Snd use OF the lessons which the mer-
ciful Providence Of the Supreme La@gver
teaches.
Instead of loving, he hates; instead Of cul-
tivating charity, he harbors malice and gives
the rein to his WRIST passions. Instead of
patiently en1eayorng 10 reform evils, he, too
often is ready to rush into the widest extremes.
He follows impulse, when sober reason should
guide.
strange too, that the men who have the least
charity, who are ready 10 prescribe, persecutei )
and destroy in the achievements OF their pur-
poses, claim 10 be the most sealouS servantsi
the most loyal soldiers Of the King Of Heaven.
Pau! once thought he was doing Gods ser
vice, when he was prosecutor and fighting
against God. In this respect Paul has had

has many followers; in his labors Of love but
few, out Of the great human family Of the
present day.-N. Y. Sun.

1JPhilosophets tell us that since Tie crea-
ton of the world not one single particle of
matter has been lost. 1t may have passed in
to new rha es, il may have foated away into
smoke or vapor but it was not lost, it will
come back again in the dew or rain, it will
spring up in the fibre Of the plant, or paint
itself on the rose leaf. Through all is trans
formations, Providence watches over it and
directs it still. Even so it is with every holy
thought or heavenly desire, or humble aspi-
ration, or generous and self-denying effort. 10
may escape our observation, we may be una
bic to follow it, but it is an cement OF the
moral world, and it is not lost!
