IMMIGRANTs. advance Of the Ore
gon immigration, we learn, has been for the
last ten or twelve days slowly vending its
way towards the Willamette valley. Those
who had arrived were generally packers.
The Oregon papers state that the number
destined for Oregon is quite large to
California it is heavier than any year since
1859.
Would it not be well for some Of the
pilgrims to turn their attention in this
direction 1t seems to us that to such as
desire to make the Pacific coast their home,
the Territory Of Washington holds out
greater aud better inducements than either
Oregon or California. Of good farming
lands, our Territory has still sufficient va.
cant within her borders to accommodate
with excellent claims the entire immigra-
tion to this coast for the next four or Eve
years. In Oregon as well as California
we see no plausible inducements that eau
be held out. All lands that possess the
least possible value, have, ere this, been
taken up. Our Territory is not yet even
fairly known its advantages are unknown
to many, and its resources undevelOped.
1t seems to us that a visit to the Villa
pah. the Chehalis, Duwamish, Puyallup,
Hoods Canal, and various other farming
sections of our country would repay visit
to them. Our advice to all is-look
around in Washington before sticking your
stakes in Oregon. Labor is plenty, and
wages from $40 to SO per month

horse stealing, committed in Pierce county
a short time since He was brought be!
fore Justice Head for examination. BY
whom, however, be was instantly discharged
for want of jurisdiction. There was an
other in company with Mr.. Bradley,
charged as being an accompliee, but he
escaped. Mr.. Bradley is now at large.
Process for his arrest will probably issue
from Pierce county immediately We
therefore suggest to Mr.. B. (if guilty. to
quit the Territory, forget his misdeeds and

War steamer for lhe Sound

We have been kindly furnished with the
following letter from Capt FARRAGUr, U.
S. n. L is in reply to letter addressed
to him by Acting Governor Mason. for q
steamer to protect the inhabitants Of the
lower part Of the Sound, on hearing Of the
murder Of Col EBEY by the Northern h.
dians. 1t will be seen that very frequently
when officers Of the army and navy second
the wishes and will Of the people. they not
unfrequenily incur the censure Of their
superior officers, as in the case alluded to
by Capt. +. There seems to be no discre-
ton left with them, and appear to be en-
tirely subject to the orders and caprices Of
the bOoJys at Washington City. We thank
the Captain, in behalf of our citizens, for
the interest he is taking in the matter of o
war steamer for the Sound.
We cannot pass this opportunity without
saying few words in praise Of the prompt
ness and fidelity with which Mr.. Mason
has at all times discharged the duties Of
Acting Governor, whenever those duties
have devolved upon him. The active and
efficient part he took in the Indian war in
the fall Of ls55-sacri6cing his personal
comforts, and in imminent peril Of his life
visiting the camp of the hostiles-has
not been forgotten by our citizens. May
be long occupy hispresent position amongst

SICKNESS AMONG THE PASSENGERS OF THE
HIINoIs-It will be recollected that by
the last steamer we. received news of this
vessel having gone on shore near Havana.
From the Times, we learn that the Illinois
had arrived in New York, and that con
siderable sickness prevailed among the pas
sengers. She was detained at quarantine
