tiles. One in the Walla Walla country, to
be garrisoned by four compapies, and placed

Another post is TO be established in the

ESO- Our farmers are now in the midst
of their wheat crop harvest, and beautiful
cool weather they are having for it, too
The oats crop, what the grasshoppers have
left, has already been gathered. 1t is a
matter Of regret that the devastations oI
the grasshOppcr, OIL both crops, parlicu-
lcrly that Of oats, has been very cOnsidera-
ble in this county. In many instances,
whole fields have been laid waste through
their rayages. The farmers of our Terri
tory are steadily providing themselves with
rcapers and thrashers Of large and improved
models, which, in 'thcsc times of Indian
troubles, are peculiarly advantageous aud
necessary, as vast amount of time and la.
Dor is saved thereby.

VOLUNTEERS FROM THE NoETH.-The fact
speaks volumes for the patriotism Of the
inhabitants of the couhtics Of Island, What
com, Jefferson and Claim, that in response
to the recent proclamation Of Gov. STEVENS,
subsequently abrogated), calling upon the
Territory for two hundred volunteers to
reinforce Col. SHAW, tone hundred from the
Sound and one hundred from the Columbia
river, some twenty-six volunteers arrived
here from the above named counties, on
Sunday last, on the H. c. Page, in answer
thereto, and for the purpose of enrolling
themselves Most Of them had been in the
late service, belonging to the company Of
Capt. Smaley-Northern Battalion, and
We are informed thHt another detachment
was about to start, which would increase
the number to from sixty to seventy-fve,
coming from the North of King county
Over half the requisite number had already
been enrolled at Fort Stevens by Or. Mast.
Gen. MILLER, and if their services had been
required, as originally contemplated, the
Sound portion of the quota would now
have been in the field. This exhibits an
index to not only the patriotism of the peo-
pie of the Territory, but is the best com
mentary we could give of the confidence
which our citizens rtposc in our Territorial
authorities, and the justice Of our govern
ment.

DS- A bill has passed the United States
Senate, introduced by Mr. WELLER, of Cal,
irornia, by which $SOO,OoO is proposed to
be appropriated for the construction Of d
military road from some point in the state
of Missouri, via Great Salt Lake City, tC
Carson Valley settlement, ou the eastern
frontier Of the state Of California, and fol
the establishment of military posts, and the
sinking Of wells thereupon.
This is an important bill, and should il
pass the House, when constructed, will
prove of vast utility, both to the people o
California and the western border Of the
Atlantic states, as q cheap mode of trans
itu between them. We hope to see the
day the enterprise shall be consummated
and when this territory will be able to ap
proach it with a branch military road a
least. rI..

aJ- We are happy to learn that the owners Of the
steamer T0mpkiRS are likely to be paid for services
in rescung the passengers and treasure on board the
ill-lated steamship Souherner, which wrecked on
this coast while on her Grip from San Francisco "a
Oregon, in December, 1854. A bill appropnatine
SO 900 passed the Senate for the relief Of the owners
Messrs. Scranton and Hunt after lively debate
Mr. Hunter opposed the bill and Mesrs Weller, Cas-
Yulee and lverson supported IL. Messrs Scranton
and Hunt claimed $lj,Slj.-OTGgOn Times. ..ff "a
If We understand the matter Alright, Mr.
SCRANTON has also obtained an appropria-
ton for carrying the U. S. Mail on the
Sound and Straits during the fall and win
ter of 1854, by which the amount is
swelled to $4,000 or $4,000. We do
hope that the indefatigable pioneer, ScRAS-
TON, will receive the mail contract, and
that he will have obtained sufficient pecu-
mary encouragement from Congress to
enable him to procure good steamer to
ply on these waters, whereby facilities for
communication with the different parts will
be vouchsared our people, afOrdng safe
and comfortable accommodations for freight
aud passengers. And we further hope
that SCRANTON will "hurry up the cakes,

WnIANs) we are provided with New
York and Boston dates up TO July 2lst
and the San Francisco HcyaM Of August
18th, to which papers We are indebted for
the following brief summary of news items.
1t has been rumored here, that some one
has information Of the passage, by the U.
S. House of Representatives, of an appro-
priation of $50, 900 for the erection of the
capitol at Olympia, and $4,000 for the
pcnitentiary at Vancouver. Also that
Gov. STEVENS has been removed. We
have seen nothing in the papers indicating
the truth of either Of the above rumors.
From the San Francisco Herald of AuI
gust 18th, we learn that no arrests had
been made by the vigilance committee, for
the last ten days preceding said date. 1t.
had been announced by the organs of that
body, that the business for which the or
ganizaton was formed had been nearly, n
not altogether, completed, and that speedy
adjournment was contemplated.
From the same paper, we learn that
Judge Terry had been Internationally re.
leased by the vigilance committee on Thurs
day morning, the 18th instant. This ac-
tion on the part Of the committee had done
much 10 quiet public excitement in that city.
From the same source, we learn that the
vote in the case of Judge Terry resulted
thus:-Forty-four for his discharge, and
thirty-six for his banishment Nineteen
members of y executive committee voted
for his discharge and sixteen for his bah-
ishment. ~
Gen. Gadsden has resigned his post as
minister to Mexico, and Mr.. Forsythe, ed
itor of the Mobile Register, has been ap-
pointed in his place.
