We are not Of those who think it their
duty and privilege to be eternally carping
at public men, whether they do their duty
or not; but We regret that so many OF the
representatives in our State Legislature
have fallen in the trains of demagogues,
who, for self-aggrandisenlent and the in
terests of their particular friends,waste the
time allowed for legislation in the discus
sion Of unimportant questions, when all
their energies are needed in the passage
Of acts imperatively needed in the mining
districts. For long time the Senatorial
question was the bone Of contention, which,
together with the removal of the Capital,
occupied the party leaders; while the
smaller fry made themselves useful when
votes were to be taken,an in the intervals

Coal in Washington Territory.

In recent conversation with gentleman
who has been employed in surveying the
coal mines in Bellingham Bay, we have
gained much valuable information respect
ing Washington Territory and its mineral
resources. The mines are of incalculable
extent. and but very small portion of the
coal region has been explored or claimed.
Coal is found cropping out from various
places; sometimes near the surface, and at
others at considerable depth. The quality
becomes better as the depth increases. In
some places it is found in abundance with
in half mile of deep anchorage, and in
very few instances are the beds more than
five miles away. Several parties have gone
there lately from this city, with view to
claiming and working the mines
A gentleman from this city who visited
the mines last fall, gave eighteen thousand
dollars for vein running near the Bay, and
from which the coal might be seen pro-
trudiug from the banks in many Places
The country around the mines is represent
ed as being we'll adapted to agriculture,
though during the winter and spring the
weather is intensely cold.-Com. Aduertfser

From Panama.

The difficulties occasioned by the capi-
tation tax of 50. levied on each foreigner
crossing the Isthmus, by the government
of New Grenada, have been settled by the
interference of Capt. Hollins, of the U.
S. sloop-of-war Cyane. Capt. II. in
formed the Governor of Panama that not
one dollar of the tax should be collected
while his vessel remained there.
The Panama Railroad is in rapid pro-
gress. It is expected that trains will run

Another expedition to Darien is contem-
plated. No intelligence of the American

tunnel in the Blue Banks; it was COM

rose fifteen feet, and it was necessary to
