Practical Chemist.
j. c. MITCHELL, Esq,
Secretary Of the Bell Bay Coal Co.
The Government at Washington City
will some day become aware of the i'm
portance,of Puget Sound as a Coal Depot,
for the supply Of the Naval vessels which
must ever be kept permanently upon the
waters of the Pacific. If Government feels
disposed to consult economy in the purchase
Of the element Of steam, for the use Of the
Navy upon this side of the continent, we
would suggest that the Bellingham Bay
Coal Company" can furnish the material
on beard its men-of-war, for about one-half
Of The cost Of transportation from he Atian-
tic side, to the present coal depot at Benieia
And if it be the desire of governmen: to
give encouragement to industry in its dis
tant territories-to extend its fostering
care, and bestow its patronage in direc-
ton where thatpatrouage will enure to its
own pecuniary advantage, our home au-
thorites will not be slow in taking measures
for the establishment of coal depot on the
waters of Puget SOnnd, as above suggested.

No. We learn that an Indian named
" Pilquilton." one of the disaffected Of the
late Nesqunlly hOstiles, recently assumed
authority to order from his claim a GENTLE
man named LANE, who was occupying one
near the Puyallup river 1t appears that
"Pilquilton approached Mr. LANE in a
menacing manner, aud informed him that
be would give him half day in which to
withdraw his effects and leave the tract Of
land he was occupying, 1t seems thai the
settler deemed it prudent to act in aceord-
ance with the mandate of the Indian, but Il
is to be hoped that the military at Fort
Steilacoom will take prompt notice Of his
savage lordship's conduct, and sec to it,
that the settlers on the Puallup. White and
Green rivers, are permitted to enjoy the
quiet possession of their homes.

THE VACANcY.--We are informed that Mr. Ma
thanel Orr, Of the Representatives elect Of this
county, some weeks since sent in his resignation II
50, why has not new election been ordered p Puget
Sound Herald, NoU. l9th.
We have made inquiry in the proper
quarter, and are informed, simply from the
fact that the resignation was informally
rendered 1t has since been received,
however, through the regular channel, and
new election has been ordered, as will be
seen by the proclamation of Acting Gov
ernor MASON, in another column. We learn
that two or three members elect from
Clarke coupty have likewise resigned.

Amongst the varieties, we found the
Fall Pippin, the Ro1bury Russell, the
Gloria Mobdi, Eusopus Spitzenberg, Yel-
low Bellaower, Smiths Cider, Toby Hook
ing, Lady Apple, the Greening and the
Jonathan. One of the Gloria Mondi speci-
mems was quite a monster-weighing l !
pounds--fall weight. In very few years
our Territory will contain an abundance Of
especially of the upple-not only
for home consumption, but for expectation.
Even during the present season, the mar
ket here has been very Unexpectedly, yet
quite liberaily supplied from the yOubg
thriving orchards of this county, and we
should not be surprised il by next year the
yield would be sufficiently large to supply
the home demand. The specimens con-
tsined in the box referred to, were all large

FASHIONABLE CoNGREGArioS''-
newspaper reporters pay very equivo.
cal compliment to this or that preacher,
when they tell US he has listened to by
a fashionable congregation. Fashion
is all right at the theatre or opera-or
other public sssemblages of secular
characler-but the jade ought not to
have anything to do in the Temple of the
Most High. Think of Paul preaching
to a fashionable congregation on Mars
Hill-or a greater than Paul delivering
a sermon on the Mount to numerous
and fashionable audience True. we
have fashionable preachers-but it is a
question whether their preaching would
not be followed with better effects if the
fashion were taken out of it. Fashion
is heartless thing at best-and heart.
lesness in religion is hypocricy.

Boar UP the architraves Of gold
That span the walls of night.
Tho hills, the hills, the solemn hills,
That oceans bounds dcclsre:
Around their base the hoarse waves dash,
Around their heads the Ughtnings dash,
And the loud thunders' crash on crash,
Road al the upper cir;
Jove-like, their NIFTY curis they shake,
And oceans deep foundations break
Into Mild tumult, and awake
The furies slseping there.
The hills, the hills, the craggy hills,
So full of mysteries:
In their abyssmal caves ere streams
On whose black waves the sun meier Cleans;
But dark and dread IS troubled dreams.
The blood that freeze;
ehrieking aloud Wild death-song,
They madly, n@cing rush along
10 unknown scae. as .. ss
The hills, the hills, the pine-clad hills,
The bulwarks Of the North:
In wild subiimity they. riee, E.a

And viswless winds the high-priests sse
