MAIL CONTRACT FOR PUGET SoUND.-We
extract the following important item from
letter of a Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Ledger, dated Dec. 10,
1856 ,-.
"A bill, now before the House, will be
discussed this session, to establish steam
navigation mail route on Puget Sound, on
the extreme northwestern coast Of the Ter
ritory of Washington, from Olympia, by
the way Of Port Townsend, New Dunginess
and Port Discovery, of Capt. Cook, and at
other points on the Sound, touching at
Victoria, VancoGver's Island, in the 50th
degree of North latitude, which is now
computed to contain population of more
than 1000, and from which port four hun
dred tons of coal per day are loaded for
San Francisco, the Sandwich Islands and
Acapulco. Olympia, the commencing point
of the proposed mail route, at the head Of
Puget Sound, distant $40 miles from the
Straits, has population likewise exceeding
two thousand souls, with a capacious wharf
extending six hundred yards into the
waters of the Sound, where the tide rises
IL feet, is tue capital of the Territory
All the settlements on the Sound are rep
resented in hourishing condition, sup
plying lumber and spars to China, the
Sandwich Islands, San Francisco and
South America.
"At Port Gamble, one Of the points on
this mail route, there is a saw mill in full
operation, running thirty-eight saws, for
saving, growing aud planning boards, with
shingle and lathe machinery, constructed
at an expense Of more thau one hundred
thousand dollars, in the hands OF a company
from the State Of Maine. This may serve
to give birds eye view of the almost in.
credible energy and indomitable Industry
and perseverance Of our countrymen iu
that remote corner of the world"
THE Pacific Railroad bill must at least
be discussed The Republican members
acknowledge that they are committed to
the support Of railroad to the Pacific
The northern route, passing through the
Columbia river, in Oregon, aud the central
route, through Kansas, the South Pass,
and the Salt Lake country, to California,
and the southern road, by the way of FL
Paso, Oh the Rio Grande, will be advoca.
ted by members irrespective Of party ties.
The different interests in this momentous
bill will, for the time, hold the existing
political parties in solution

BN- Thus far in the month Of February
we have had very heavy surplussge o
rain-7much more than we have been Visi
ted with, in this month, for the past five
years. Many of our farmers--particularly
those who have swamp or bottom lands,
depend upon this month for plowing
for the getting in their wheat and oat:
crops. From present prospects, they will
have rather wet time in attending tC
their usual February labors.

Our Fint Rare.


We ask the especial attention of all such
Of our readers as feel an interest in the
future of cur Territory. to'the perusal Of 9
letter on the first page of to-day's paper
from Washington City, from Mr.. JAMES
G. SWAN, o resident at ShoalWater Bay.
The letter itself explains the object Of his
visit 10 Washington. Z I 0tt#
The letter is quite refreshing in many
respects. We well know that hundreds Of
our citizens will join us in an expression Of
graduation at the intimation contained in
the letter, that Gov. STEVENS will not be
removed by the incoming administration,
save at his own request. A Governor who
has served Territory as faithfully and
laboriously as Gov. STEVENS has our own,
aud who has passed through such an ordeal
Of uneeasing toll, care, anxiety and perse-
cution, withal aud when acombination Of
elements have for months past been busily
engaged in maturing plans 10 strike him
down as the Executive, and, if possible,
drive him from the Territory, it would cer-
tainly be gratifying, we doubt not, to a
large majority Of our citizens, if, after oil
the efforts made against him through the
well matured plans Of his enemies, he should
be vindicated-triumphanlly sustained, and
they be made to suffer modification and
disappointment. 1t seems that the stand
taken by Gov. S. in the late Indian war,
and for the Territory, generally, is becom.
ing known to members of Congress and the
heads Of Departments, and his services
being appreciated. .. .....
The letter, it will be observed, also pays
high, and we d6hbt not deserved tribute
Of praise to the energetic perseverance,
faithfulness and discretion Of our Delegate
in Congress, Hon. ]. PATTON ANDERSON.
Whatever he may fail to accomplish for the
Territory, could not probably have been
procured for us by any living man, in the
capacity Of delegate. We verify believe,
from all accounts, that in his unceasing
efforts to procure favorable legislation fol
the Territory, he has scarcely given sleep
to his eyes, or slumber to his eyelids"-
The difficulty to which Mr.. SWAN was sub
jected in perfeeting his business at the
Department, will give some idea of the
patience to which our Delegate has had ia
subject himself, in order to obtain fair OF
favorable hearing at the Departments.
We are sure that the three days refer
red TO as having been set apart for tht
consideration of Territorial business, viii
be well improved by our Delegate, and
hope to hear of the passage, not only of all
the appropriation bills that were reported
upon favorably in Committee Of the Whole
at the last session, but also that a military
road from Olympia to Shoalwater Bay will
be established, and that the indomitable
JOIN H. SCRANTON will succeed in obtain.

BRANDY FROM SUGAR CANE-A Mr.. Jno. W. Reid
writes to the Editors of the New York Evening Post
that he has made very good article Of brandy from
the Chinese sugar He says it costs but thirty
cents per gallon to produce it, and will be worth 81
to 81 per gallon according to quality. He says a
gallon of proof spirit be obtained from each gal
Ion of fermented syrup. He adds:
of illumination alone, to say nothing of varnishes
chloroform, and medicinal extracts, is enormous,
and was beginning to have serious effect the
price of bread owing to tire wholesale destruction of
the cereals required to produce it. Now, however,
we have found substitute, which, besides supply
ing syrup and alcohol, will also yield from the same
crop large amount Of forage and grain for the fat
tening of stock"
We shall begin to believe after while, that the
Chinese sugar is like the negros rabbit
"good for ebery ting"

The "SUBTERRANEAN NPAssAGE"-Mr. N. P Banks
Speaker of the House of Representatives, thus de-
scribed in one of his speeches, delivered some two
years since the mapner in which Know Nothings
were made:
"a covered way, a sort of subterranean passage,
a low-browed cavernous avenue, by which men
could pass from one point to another, and are car.
ried from one camp to another, seeing nobody,
hearing nobody, and saying nothing to nobody"
There it is, done to the life Mr.. Banks is himself
a Know Nothing, and he is also black Republican.
1t is stated that while member of the House he
initiated some fifty sixty OF his brother members
into the Order. He is now the black Republican
candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, and he is
opposed BY Gov. Gardner, who belongs to the other
wing of the so-called Americans" Judging from
the accounts we see in the Massachusetts, papers,
the election depen@ upon the issue made up be-
tween the two as to which of them has gone farth.
est and labored hardest to injure and degrade the
South. They both know that the surest way to
obtain votes in Massachusetts, is to exhibit record
of bitter hostility to the Southern States Mr. Banks
thinks that, on this account he has the election;
and Gov. Gardner thinks that, for the same reason,
he has it. The people of that State will vote soon,
and the country will then know. We take no in
terest in the matter.

The TRUE PLATFoRM-As having bearing upon
the Kansas question, and indicative of the creed
of the State Rights party, we ask the attention OF
our readers the following noble sentiments, which
were published in the far.famed address Of the
Southern members of Congress in 1s49. This ad-
dress was called forth by the questions touching the
admission of California, and it was penned by Mr..
Calhoun himself, and signed by such men as Hunt,
er, Mason, Butler r. w. johnson, Jefferson Davis
Jacob Thompson, Barnwen Rhett, Atchison, and
VIM. R King. Readit it:
"We hold that the Federal Government has no
right to extend restrict slavery any more than to
establish abolish it nor has it any right what
to distinguish between the domestic institutions
of one State section and another As the Federal
representatives of each and all the States it is bound
to deal out within the sphere of its powers, equal
and exact justice to all. We ask not as the North
alleges we do, for the extension Of slavery. That
would make discrimination in our favor as unjust
aud unconstitutional the discrimination they ask
against US in their favor"
The Paducah (Ky) Herald says: "This is the
standard by which we shall judge the Administra-
ton of Mr.. Buchanan. This is the test which State
Rights Democrats will apply to it If at the end Of
year. the glorious old patriot is found lacking
to this standard, shall not be slow to denounce
where we now defend"
The Herald will find no cause for denouncing
where it now defends Mr.. Buchanan is as sound
and az true as Mr.. Calhoun himself would have been,
if called to the Presidency. He is at heart State
rights Democrat, and he shows his faith by his
works. We have never doubted him for one mo-
ment, and never expect to doubt him. We rely up.
him as upon an old and tried friend of our rights
and of a Constitutional Union.

MEssRs. EDITORS Though have ever dsliked to
persons receive praise for the discharge of
duty, feel that it is proper and just give public
notice of modest letter lately addressed to me, as
chairman of the committee who have in charge the
North Carolina Journal Of Education.
A common school teacher of Edgecombe-a per-
son who has heretofore made effort, that I know
of to attract notoriety, and has made pledges in
regard to the Journal has sent me the names of
sirteen subscri1ers Nth a check for the cash. His
Postofice is Battleboro, Edgecombe county. In the
modest letter which he writes, he says: "I am
comparatively stranger in Edgeeonbe, but found
little difficulty in getting the above number of sub
scribers. So far only two men that have families
have refused to subscribe when solicited. may be
mistaken, but think l could get twice the number
sent"
My own experience confirms these opinions. Al
most any number of subscribers could be obtained
if teachers and friends of the would apply for
them.
The teacher of the Male Academy in Greensboro
got twenty with little trouble. l received larger
number, and was surprised at the small proportion
of refusas to direct applications. But so far, of
common school teachers, Mr.. w., of Edgecombe,
carries the banner. Will the hundreds of good
teachers in the State be content to permit him to
maintain his honorable position without a struggle
