A VmuAN.-We learn that some low
bred, villianous scamp recently entered the
orchard Of Mr.. WILLIAM PAcKwooD, on the
Nisqually Bottom, in the night time, and
cut down sixty or seventy fine young apple
trees, and girdled about the same number
of older ones that we're bearing an abun-
dance of excellent fruit. Not content with
this, the rascal came again on subsequent
night, and ripped open some twenty odd
bales of hay that were packed ready for
shipping, and cut in pieces large rope
used in baleing hay, and otherwise injured
his hay-press. Such acts merit the severest
punishment, and if "lynching" is ever justi-
fable it certainly would be in a case like
this. We can scarcely find language to
express our utter contempt and horror for
such vile wretch, and it shonld be the de-
sire of every good citizens to assist in fer
reting out and bringing to justice every
offender of this kind

Upon motion it was resolved tb,, a.

The meeting then adjourned, sin, y.
c. LANCASTER
w. G. LANGFoRD Secretary. ~
The following is a copy of the Memor.,
To the Honorable the Senate and I,
Of Representatives. in Congress Ass,mbi.S- s iaS-'e
The undersigned citizens of W1'-- WoaL;1.
Territory would most respectfully nrsn % ~. S.Ol
honorable bodies to appropriate tbe :,y, Wv. VI
fifty thousand dollars, for the pUrnoso OSu :;
opening and constructing a militarv -, :,
on direct line, or as near as practio.SI'N IL
from Fort Vancouver to Fort Ste;lso""ee,
in Washington Territory. Your netiSOu SOn
ers believe such a road wouTd bs ,S0u' ! "a0'
benefit to the Military Posts at the 49," Sa'
named points, that it would save much Az
lay and expense to the Government ~
add much TO the progress and prosperity ~
this Territory generally. There is now bOt
one route from Fort Vancouver 10 For,
Steilacoom, except that by sea. A lsrc1
portion Of the year that route is almost iISs
practicable, and often for one or two month.
at time it is entirely SO. The distance is
from $50 to l65 miles, and the route i
partially by water down the Columbia Riv.
er. The direct route proposed is from I3o
to lao miles, passes for 80 miles Of that
distance through the most populous part Of
the Territory aud over level body Of land
where good and open road is now being
used. The remaining sixty or seventy miles
of distance, from the Cowlitz river to Fort
Vancouver, has lately been explored and is
pronounced by those in whom full conf
dence can be placed 10 be entirely practi.
cable and available for a good wagon road.
From Fort Vancouver, going north, there
are settlements now on the line Of the road
for thirty miles If the road was open, We
have reason to believe these settlements
would continue throughout the whole length
of the road. In view Of these facts, on the
grounds of economy to the Government,
safety to our people and the general pro-
gress of the country, your petitioners would
respectfully and urgently request your
speedy action in granting the appropriation
above prayed for, and your petitioners, a.
in duty bound, will ever pray.

Bs5- Improvements in our city are steadi.
ly progressing We notice the sidewalks
on several streets have been lately much
improved and extended by our city authori-
ties, greatly to the advantage Of pedestri-
rians. A new bridge has been built across
the marsh below Swantown, on the county
road, and with little more labor expended
on the road, we shall soon hav ca fine ave-
nue. Of travel along that portion of the bay.
The removal Of stumps and the grading of
streets this fall has greatly improved the
appearance Of the place, and although
there remains great deal in that line, yet
we can congratulate ourselves with being
as well provided with good streets and
sidewalks as any place in the Territory.
There have also been numerous improve
ments in building in various parts of the
city, among the most conspicuous of which
is the erection Of the new livery stable on
Main street by CHAs. GRANGER.

From the Vancouver Chronicle.
Public Meeting.

A public meeting was held ain this city
on the 4th inst, pursuant to a general call,
by the citizens of Clarke county and vcin-
ity, for the purpose of consulting in regard
to the necessities of Military Road from
Vancouver to Steilacoom, and also Of de-
termining the best manner Of drawing the
attention of Congress to the absolute and
great necessities Of such road
Upon motion Of Capt. VIM. Bratton,
Hon. VIM. Strong was called to the chair,
aud W. G. Langford elected secretary. At
the request of the meeting, Hon. @. Lam
caster stated in a brief, plain and appropri-
ate manner, the objects Of the meeting and
the necessity of its actien. Remarks were
then made Dpon the same subject by Capt.
VIM. Bratton, Gay Hayden, Col Wallace,
Hon. William Strong, and Mr.. Leander
Holmes.
The remarks above alluded to, in addi-
ton to the facts personally known to the
speakers, showed that in case the mouth Of
the Columbia river was blockaded by for
eign power, neither troops, provisions, nor
relief could be obtained from Puget Sound
during great portion Of the year, aud
then only very tardily and at vast trouble
and expense; that in case the Sound was
bloekaded, the same impediments would
obstruct communication in a like manner
and te>the same extent, making it impossi-
BILE for the inhabitants of Puget Sound to
obtain relief or assistance from any quar-
ter, or to retreat from any danger. Con-
sequently if war with a foreign power
should occur, and that power should en-
ploy the Indians upon our. borders as its al
lies, in case of blockade, the Sound could
be captured by those saVages before relief
could be had from any quarter.
That an appropriation Of 100000 ex-
pended upon the most direct and practica-
BILE route, would relieve the citizens in both
regions of the Territory from these dan
gers.
Upon the motion Of Mr.. Leander Holmes,
a committee Of three was appointed by the
chair. to consult with the Military authori-
ties, and draft a petition to Congress for
an appropriation for the above named road,
and report to the meeting at I P. NJ, on
the 9th inst.
Mr. Holmes declining to act, the chair
appointed Hon. c. Lancaster, Mr.. Gay
Hayden and Capt. VIM. Bralton to act up
on the said committee.
On motion the meeting adjourned to the
evening of Oct, 9th.
On Oct 9th, pursuant to adjournment,
the citizens again met, and by request,
Hon. G. Lancaster showed to theRHwhat
information be had obtained since Che last
meeting. He then read the report of tue
committee; said report contained petition
which was recommended by the committee
TO be printed and circulated.
Upon motion the report was accepted
aud the committee discharged
Upon motion the report was adopted,
and Hon. c. Lancaster, G. Hayden, Capt
Wa. Brattou were elected as committee

NEW FRur SroREs.-Two new fruit
stores have lately been opened in Olympia,
one by ]. @. Head l. Son, the other by
Mr.. Pope, both on Main street, and both
dealers in apples, pears, peaches, etc.
With three or four other establishments Of
the kind in the city, our citizens are now
well supplied with opportunities of procur,
ing good fruit, and at reasonable rates
Most of the fruit is brought from Oregon
BY steamer, with the exception of southern
fruit sent from San Francisco. Apples are
selling at l2l cents pears 10. and grapes
at 25. We have seen some very nince
fruit raised in this vicinity, equal to any
that Oregon can boast Of, but in limited
quantities. But we hope to be independ-
ent Of Oregon in this line in q year or two,
and judging from our orchards we shall be.
1t is estimated there are thirty thousand
fruit trees set out in and near this vicinity.

The Massacre.

ARMY.-Much credit is due the gallant
aud energetic commander of the Military
Department Of Oregon for the prompt and
we hope elfectual, measures he has taken
to punish the Indians concerned in the late
massacre, aud to prevent the recurrence of
a similar calamity. Col. Wright received
the late melancholy intelligence on the Sd
inst, and on the following day issued or
ders to Capt. +. Dent, 9th Inf, to proceed
Immediately with company E, detachment
of company l, LIST Dragons, aud forty en-
listed men of companies B and E, 9th Inf,
selected by himself, to the scene Of the re-
ported massacre, for the purpose Of rescu.
ing any survivors that may be found, from
the hands of the Indians, and, if the oppor-
tunity offers, furnishing the aggressors.-
The command will take rations for forty
days, aud other supplies will be furnished
from Fort Walla Walla.
A detachment of | company, lst ORA
goons, is also ordered to proceed forthwith
10 the Warm Springs reservation, in order
to afford protection in case of attack by the
Suako Indians, and to remain there unit
further orders
, 1860-10-19
Miscellaneous liens

The announcement is made that Mr. Nc
Lane, our Minister to Mexico, was to leave
Washington on the 23d ult. for the scene

The late gale in the Gulf of Mexico np-
pears to have been unusually severe in its
character, and has involved greater loss
of life and property than any which has oc.
Cured for years. From New Orleans We
learn that the brig West Indid was lost at
the Pass Poutre, together with 10 per.
sons who were on board, and that several
lighthouses on the Mississippi coast were
blown over. At Mobile, Eve steamboats,
were sunk, and the ship r. H. DiTey, frow
New York, was blown ashore on the lower
bar, and the captain and several Of the
crew persisted.
AS the gale must have extended over 9
great surface of the Gulf, it will probably
be some time before we shall ascertain the
full extent Of the damage done.
Strange to say, the new planet discovered
by the National Observatory on Saturday

insigni6cance before this new visitor from
the celestial sphere.

CAN CH1EF.-From Lagos we learn that the
King of Dahomey was about to make an
immense sacrifice of human life to the
memory of the late king, his father. The
West African Herald Of the 18th July, re-
ferring to his intention, says: "His Maj
eSty, Badahung, King of Dahoney, is about
to make the grand custom, in honor Of the
late King Gezo. Determined to surPass
all former monarchs in the magnitude Of the
ceremonies to be performed on this Occa-

sive preparations for the celebration Of the;
grand custom. A great pit has been dug
which is to contain human blood enough to
float a canoe. Two thousand persons Will
be sacrificed on this occasion. The e1Pe-
