" Business prospects here are poor, and
the business community are somewhat
troubled by reports received from the At

reported here that several of the largest
whale-Ship owners in New Bedford have

whale-ships that visit here for recruits; and
as even with the high prices for oil, the

the substitution of coal for whale oil will

beginning to rank as such. Her conncc
ton with the railroad system Of the Cana
das has caused her business and population
to be doubled, and it will double the mex
ten years All can well recollect the time
when Boston sco6ed at Portland for pre-
suming to think that she (Porlland) could
become great commercial point, and il
undertaking what at the time was pro
neunced to be the impracticable and Wis
ionary enterprise Of the Portland and Mon
treal railroad So, also, shall we see an
important commercial point grow up on
Puget Sound, if we are but fortunate
enough to get the northern route. A
more erroneous idea cannot be entertained
than that the Pacific railroad should have
Il terminus at some populous and wealthy
city. 1t should have its due weight, and
nothing more A calculation Of the prob
able amount Of stock that might perhaps
be subscribed, should not be permitted
even to enter therein. The stock 4eW be
taken, let it terminate where it will The
terminus Of the road will build the city,
but the city will not be indispensable TO the
road
Fourth. Should Congress ignore the
Northern Route, then the roads which de-
mand this route will unite with the Canadas,
and fnd their connection with the Pacific
in British Columbia. Such, we understand,
to be the determination of the railroad in,
terests Of Minnesota.
We, therefore, as a people, Lave but one
interest," which is to stand unfaIteringly by
the Northern Route. The Legislature
(soon to assembly, should strengthen the
hands Of our Delegate by a suitable memo
rial to Congress, declaring our unqualified
preference fer the Northern Route, fully
setting forth (as we believe) its numerous
advantages over either Southern or Cen
trail, and denouncing, in unmistakable terms,
the acts and sentiments Of the selfconstitu.
ted delegates from this Territory to the
" Pacific Railroad Convention" as not ex-
pressivc Of the views Of our people. Our
voice in the nations councils may be weak,
and may not be acted upon, still it may
lead to calm deliberation and mature re-
Election before any other route shall have
been positively determined upon
We hope, and doubt not, Gov GHoLsoN
will incorporate bis views in the premises
in bis message to be delivered before the
legislature. By this means it will be re-
ferred to its appropriate committee, aud
thus receive at their hands that attention
which its importance demands, in the early
days Of the session. The work OF the last
few days Of the session is usually hurried
through" in SO summary way, that scri-
Gus thought is hardly bestowed upon any

quarters for the Boundary Commissioners,
who contemplate wintering at this place.
Capt. Archer's command are expected to

ports well authenticated aud generally be-
lieved here, say that the command have
discovered good paying gold mines on the
Similkamin river, and are busily engaged
in mining. Onc of the party found piece
weighing $27, Others have fonnd pieces
weighing from S. to SIS. Thomas Smith,
formerly Of Vancouver, and government
expressman between these two points, who
comes and goes once a week, reports the
mines to be good Mr.. Hollcy arrived
from the mines few days since bringing
with him several pieces which he exhibited.
Those which saw resemble1 grains Of
wheat. He reports that as yet, only pay
ing dirt is found upon bar in this river
The miners are sanguine that further pros
pectng will develop rich mining.
These mines are FIVE days travel with
pack animals from this place, and day

"The members Of the Boundary CommiS-
sion who are now at this place this evening,
eorroborate the news Of richness Of the
Smilkameen mines. All of them have
more or less dust, and from oil that can be
gathered from the employees, there can be
no doubt that the diggings are extensive.
Prospects have been made FIVE miles each
way from the bar on which gold was first
discovered, and so cents to the pan has
been the yield. Mining implements are
scarce,--a frying-pan the only pan in use.
The nearest route is ria the Dalles, by

are so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evade them.
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and inyigorate every portion of the human Or
ganism, correcting its diseased action, and re-
storing its healthy vitalities As n consequence
of these properties, the invalid who is bowed
down with pain or physical debility is astonished
to find his health or energy restored by remedy
at once SO simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the everyday COM
plants of every body, but also many formida-
bic and dangerous diseases. The agent below
named is pleased to furnish gratis my American
Almanac, containing certificates of their cures
and directions for their use in the following COM
plants: Costiceness, Heartburn, Headache dris-
ing from tlisoriered Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion,
Pain in and Morbid Inaction Of the Bo,uels, Flat
ulency, Loss Of appetite, Jaundicc, and other
kindred complaints, arising from low state of
the body or obstruction of its functions.

So wide is the field of It's usefulness, and so
numerous arc the cascs of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons
publicly known, who have been restored from
alarming and even desperate diseases Of the

virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate
what antidote to employ for the distressing and
dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs

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 produced
cures too numerous and too remarkable to be
