THURsroN County CONVENTION
ding to the proceedings of the county con-
vention of Saturday, for the selection Of
delegates to attend the Territorial Con-
vention, published in another column), it
will be seen that The third Saturday in Jnt
has been fixed upon as the day for holding
the county convention for the selection Of
democratic representative ticket, and
other county officers. The convention will
merely be al adjourned one-consiSting ol

PIERCE County CoNvENTIoH.-We have
been furnished with what purports to be
the proceedings Of two separate democratic
county conventions held at Steilacoom,
Pierce county, for the appointment of dele
gates to the democratic Territorial Conven-
ton. We are reluctantly compelled to de-
fer their publication until next week, when
they will certainly appear. Want of room,
alone, will plead our apology in the prem
ises. The participants in either convcn-
tion will readily perceive that it can make
no sort of difference, as far as the rights Of
either set of delegates toseats is concerned,
whether the proceedings be published this
week or next.

No. l, Of March I'd, lS57-directing the
4th U. S. Infantry to proceed to Fort
Benton, &c, the detachment of troops be-
longing to that regiment, stationed. on
Whidby's Island, under command of Ser
geant WHITE, were rendezvoused at Fort
Steilacoom, and the post referred to aban-
doned. Since that order, however, has
been coun;ermanded, in view Of the threat
ening attitude of the Northern Indians, it
is to be hoped that strong detachment
will be returned to that post.

bursting of one of the boilers in the steam
saw mill of Messrs. RENToN & HOWARD,
Whidby's Island, referred to in our issue
of April 10th, was not, as then reported,
owing to the carelessness of the engineer,
Mr.. J. ]. RILEY, in allowing the water to
BECOME too low in the boilers, but was the
result of purely local and unavoidable
cause, We make this correction in justice
to the character Of Mr.. RILEY, as an engi

pears, plums, etc, which have been com
plctely cut off, 1t is cheering and refresh
ing to notice the attention which is being
given by the residents of our territory to
the cultivation of fruit. Almost every
farmer has a thrifty orchard planted. In
few years, with the blessing Of peace
within our borders, we will have fruit for
expectation. To conclude, take it oil IN
all, we like Washington much better than
Oregon territory. There's no place like

NEW APPoINrNESrs.-By the last mail
and Express, official information has been
received here that Col j. PATrEN AMBER
son, our late delegate in congress, has been
appointed Governor of Washington terri
tory, to take effect from the 18th day Of
March-at which date the commission Of
Gov. STEVENS expired. No appointment
could have been made Of successor Of
Gov. S., with which we could have been
better pleased, or as well satisfied, as with
that of Col. ANDERSON. We can but wish
his career may be less perplexing, and his
pathway be less thorny than that which
was vouchedsafo to his predecessor. Col.
ANDERSON is expected on the next steamer.
Welcome home" ...
Col. ]. W. NEsMrH, Of Oregon, has been
appointed Superintendent of Indian Affairs
for Oregon and Washington territories,
and j. S. SMITH, Of Island county, w. T.,
has been appointed U. S. District Attorney
for this territory-both- national demo-
Gratis.
Did Col NEsMrH reside in our territory,
we do not know man that we had rather
see occupy the position. But as to the
policy and erpcdiency Of appointing one su'
perntendent for both territories, we may
have something to say hereafter. We re-
gard it as rather tue crowning act of injus'
tice to our territory.

Democratic Territorial Con-
VcntiOn.

1t would be supur0uous for us to remind
the democracy, or the delegates chosen by
the. .varions counties to attend the demo-
cratic territorial convention. that one week
from Monday next they are called upon to
assemble at Drew's Mills, Lewis county, to
nominate democratic candidate for con-
gress. We hope to see full attendance,
and from present indications, we are led to
believe that no disappointment will be en-
perienccd on that score. The party seems
to be thoroughly aroused and awakened
to the Importance of the occasion, much
more so. apparently, than it was two years
ago. The distance that some Of the dele
cations northward on the Sound, will have
to travel, will be considerable, but they
will no doubt take the precaution to start
in time, to the end that they may be in lime
on the ground, on the morning Of the cler-
eath inst To prevent confusion and mis-
understanding concerning their right to a
seat, delegates should in no instance, neg
lect to procure certificates of their election
from the officers Of the meeting which Sc
lected them as their representatives. That
whoever may be the nominee Of the con-
vention, be he chosen fairly and hOnoraJiy,
will be triumphanfly elected, no sane man,
we think, will now question. Let but the
convention be true to itself and TO the de-
mocracy-the people, who have chosen them
as delegates, and black repubicanism, and
all other iSms might as well at once arm
with Ozark lanterns" and COM
mence hunting knot holes. "Kinkey-hair"
and midnight" viii! stand no show in the
contest.
We believe now, oil the counties, except
Clarke, have held their conventions and ap-
pointed delegates to the convention. The
convention in Clarke takes place to-mor-
row.
The following counties have instructed
in favor Of ISAAC l. STEVENS, as their choice
for next delegate to congress
Thurston, Sawamish, Lewis, Cowlitz,
Pacific, Chehalis, Wahkiaknm, Whatcom,
Claim and Skamania and Walla Walla.
In Jefferson, it is reported that the delega-
ton will be divided. In Slaughter, it is
reported that three of the four delegates
will support STEVENS. In Pierce and ISL
and two sets of delegates will claim seats
in the conventi0n-one in each, instructed
Nor, and the other opposed to STEVENS
We understand that the delegation from
King county will so into the convention
untrammeled by instructions.

ORDERS CouNTER,IANDED.-0 Official infor-
nation has been received here, and at the
various military4stations in the Territory,
by the last mail, countermanding an order
but recently promulgated, by which the
4thn regiment of the U. S. Infantry was
ordered to rendezvous at Fort Walla-walla,
preparatory to proceeding to Fort Benton
thence in boats from the Upper Missouri
to Fort Leavenworth. 1t will be remem-
bered that this regiment, in pursuance Of
General Orders, No. dated at Head
Quarters Of the the army, March I'd, 1857,
was charged with the construction Of the
military road through to Fort Benton,
authorized by an act of the XXXIVth
Congress, appropriatiDg $4,000 for that
object. According to the former order, it
was provided that the 9th Infantry, sta.
toned at Fort Leavenworth, should pro.
ceed overland in equal divisions, ria Fort
Benton aud the South Pass, to occupy the
place, in the Pacific Department, vacated
by the 4th Infantry. As matters now
stand, in virtue of the new order, it is not
contemplated that any material change
will take place in the disposition of troops
in this Territory. The first order, it will
be remembered, was issued by the retiring
Secretary of War. His successor, it would
seem, diSapprovcs of the arrangement, and

the afflicted in the vicinity of his practice

the Doctor from our boyhood, and take
pleasure in attesting not only to his estima-

reputed proficiency as physician and
surgeon, and to the promptness and care
with which he watches over the pillow of
