So wide is the field Of its usefulness and so nu-
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections Of the
pulmonary organs that incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial. conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to

$l,5O A YEAR In ADVANCE

Suddenly-oh, sight of agoni.ing joy =
we saw canoe put off from the larger boat
and approach us, and then We got up and
fairly screamed and begged for assistance
When the rowcrs came near enough to con-
with us, they stopped, and told us they feared
we were decoys, put there to draw them to
the shore that the indians might fall upon
and murder them, and it took no little time
and the most earnest reservations and petious
app ais to convince them to the contrary.
At last, after rowing past us two or three
times, and closely inspecting the shore, and
getting us to come far out on a sa nd bar, they
ventured to take us aboard. We were kind
ly treated by these men, when they came to
hear our story, and being taken by them to
the garrison at the Falls (now Louisville,
ky..) we were placed under the care of a
skillful surgeon, and soon restored to our
usual health and strength.
Such was the remarkable story of Captain
Benllam-remarkable for the fact that two
men should 50 sinsularly escape from the
savages and live six weeks in the wilderness
the one with useless arms, and the other
with useless less-the two together making
as it were, only one whole man.
Whoever shall to-day stand upon the levee
OF the now large and flourishing city of Gin
cinnat', and glance his eye across the bc,uti-
iul Ohio, shall behold the very spot where
these remarkable events occurred, at time
when all around, on either shore, was a wild
bowling wilderness.

Item The country is filed with savage
and treacherous Indians, who have no very
good will for the "Bostons." as they call u,
Yankees. The first party which ventured t.
Thompson 8 river were driven off by them
after stabbing one or two. and stealing all
their tools and provisions. An Indian war
is morally certain. The miners 60 armed to
the teeth. The Indians also are armed with
good rifles, and know how to use them. We
have already had little foretaste of what is
to come, by the defeatof Steptoe's regiment
by the Snake lndi ms, though not in the Vi
cinity of the mines. The difficulty of ascend
ing is wbeing partially remcdied by steam
ers, as far as Fort Hope-ll0 miles; but the
balance of the road is represented as "hard
road to travel" which in the mouth of a vet
eran California miner, means somethiay.-
The Whatcom folks are now cutting IL mule
trail OF over 100 miles thr,ug gh IL dense forest,
in order to induce miners, to take the land
route by way Of their city. Bat littls Is
known ofthis country except by trappcrs, who
have spent their lives in the wilderness with
the Indians
One ofthe most important results of this
gold discovery will be the rapid settlement of
Washington territory, and its adm ssion AS IL
State. West of tn, case Vi IS it pos ,s,s all
urivalled series of harLors and inland navl-
CATION, admitting the largest of ships through
the whole length of Fuca strat-lO0 miles
and thence 100 miles further south, through
Admiralty inlet and PUGET sound. These
waters are deep, have bold sh,re and are
studded with inumerable beautiful islands,
covered with heavy growth Of timber. The
climate is similar to our own, being but u
little colder in winter. The British posscs-
sions in the vicinity of the strait will ais,
rapidly settleu up. Vancouvers is represent
ed as b.ins a goodasricdltur.l island, with
about the CLINE of England, ant beng tn e
seat of the principal city, will in future as
assume some Importance. The island now
contains about IL 900 Indians.

Gentlemen an article heded What are
we going to make, in the last No. of your
Magazine, the writer thinks that the Mllen-
ium for nisscrs is to be brought about by
steam ,on the ground that bushil of coal fed
to steam engin will produc, more power
than Il bushil Of Ing in corn fed to Il niger,
and that the great improvement that is to take
place in these eng ins in 80 or 100 years will
enable us to navigate our corn fields, and
plow as much cotton, with one critter Of this
sort, in the same length of time, and at last
expense, than with 10 nigyers; consequently,
We will free the isgers rs u nuscnce, and
take the engin instead. Now just grant that
what he says about plowin by steam should
turn out true-and cotton could he crowd
in this way-I gest want to ask him one
question when it comes to pickia out, whar
is his steem engin then. 1t takes fingers to
du this sort of work, and no steem engin
will ever be maid to strike lick like them
If We ever du plow by stcem, which | wont
deny mought be done, wei turn our nisgcrs
into Pickers-makc more cotton and sell at
IL less price. He is whot might be called a
speculative genies, like a faller who lives not
far from here; he thought he'd make an i'm
provement in pickin, and the monkey would
be the very article. One monkey would pick
as much as a niger, and ono niger could
oversee 10 monkes. The monkeys WIS got
and the trial maid; the only mistake about it
was, instead of one niger managed 10 mon
keys it took 10 niggers to manage one mo. :
key; so he has Civ up expeerimentin and
sticks to the old way Of gatherin his crop

San Francisco, June l2, 1858.
As you have seen in the papers, We in this
State are experiencing another California
gold excitement, and not inferior in degree to
the first one. For the last three or four
months we have been receiving accounts by
every steamer from Puget Sound, of the dis
covery of new and rich gold mines on Frazer
river. By reference to the map you will per-
ceive that this river empties into the Gulf of
Georgia, but few miles north of northern
boundary, and comes down frem the north
nearly PARALLEL with the coast. Thompson
river is one of its tributaries, enptying into
it from the west, some 900 miles from its
mouth. Frazer river is sad to be 80 miles
long, and is nayigable for good sized steam
ers more than 100 miles The extent of the
diggings is not yet ascertained, but it is now
considered settled fact here that these two
rivers are equally as rich as C.lll fornil in its
most palny days. We have been humbugged
so often by "Gold Bluff, Gold Lake, and
"kearn River" stories that these accounts
were for some tine received with much sus-
plclon, and when last wrote they We're not
considered of sufficient Importance to note
But lately, miners have returned with well
lined purses, and reliable statements now
seem to confirm all that has becn said about
these mines. The effect produced in this
States is astonishing. Almost every man we
meet now is talking about vamosing to Fra
ger river. The up river boats have for week or
more been crammed to their utmost capacity,
and an exodus has commenced from our mines
which threatens to depopulate them. The
Pacific Mail Steamship Company are putting
on extra boats for the Sound, and ships are
being fitted up with hunks in '49 style for
passengers, and Immediately filled The
price of passage to Bellingham Bay is S32
and Sb4 for steerage and cabin-the distance
about 1000 miles. Up to this time it is
estimated that about 60OO have gone. If
these mines prove to be as rich as are report
ed, and are extensive, the results cannot be
calculated But one thin will be Certain
