GEN. HARNEY.-We are credibly in
formed that Gen, HARNEY will urgently re-
commend to the Secretary Of War the i'm
mediate completion Of the military roads
within our Territory, now incomplete for
want of funds to make them so. The road
from Steilacoom to Bellingham Bay is
barely passable for pack animals, and un-
less another appropriation be obtained, the
amount expended thereon will virtually
have been thrown away. The General will
also urge the construction Of q number Of
roads on the east side of the mountains.
Without roads over which troops and the
paraphernalia of war could be readily
transported, n veteran army, Of which ev-
cry man might be hero, would be COM
paratively worthless. The gratitude Of our
people is due to Gen. H., and we are conf
dent it will be ever bestowed.

EXPLORATION. The Queen Charlotte's
Island gold searching expedition having
returned to Victoria, meeting with no sue
cess, Major DowNIE, formerly of Califor.
MIA, with party Of fourteen men, was to
have started some ten of twelve days since
on another tour Of exploration and search.
with view of prospecting the country,
creeks and rivers, to the eastward, in the
direction Of Fort Alexandria. They alse
will examine and report upon the adapta,
bility Of the country for settlement and
cultivation. As but little is known of the
region Of country which the expedition
will traverse, we expect to hear something
interesting when the journal Of the party
shall be published. They contemplated
reaching Victoria again in six weeks after
their departure.

IrA1Y.-There are strong indications of
of discomfort in some parts Of Italy. Great
excitement existed at Florence. The Pro.

Mr. FURsTE-
ESTEEMED S1R:-It is refreshing In the

movement precedentS not unworthy the
highest tribunals of our common country.

but must have been struck with the ability
and clearness Of his rulings and decisions.
l send you two cases Of much importance
to the people of this Territory. Hereto

ness" The Judge deserves lasting honor
for nipping this great evil-a good law be-
ing badly abused.
The case Of the widow and children OI
John Alexander merits all honor to tho
head and heart that can so appreciate the
truthful relations Of society. The tribunal
"yisited the widow and the fatherlesS" in
great affection, and in o manner worthy
the Territory Of Washington.
The Judge was also, very severe upen
the too common practice, heretofore, Of
hunting up jurors to impeach their own
verdicts by relation Of irregularities Or a.
legged error Of judgment.
Judge Frost's case-the mountain that
has labored for six months past, in reality
for political purpose, dropped totally
down and melted out on the evidence. Cur
