NEW York, Feb. 18th, 1860.
JAMES s. R1rcn1E, EsQ.-DEAR SIN
e l notice in the Lake Superior Miner,
your letters about the resources of tho
country west of your region, and about
supplying the Mines with some necessary
articles IF early in the season, before
tho Saul canal is open, dip candles (sixcs)
could be sent to the Mining Districts,
they would doubtless find ready market
at about II cents per til. An. immense
quantity Of candles arc used for mining
purposes. One pound per diem by each
miner. The store:kccpcrs in your region
might take them in or make arrangements
to obtain them from the country back,
before travelling becomes bad in the
Spring, and perhaps make good thing
out of them. They might even be brought
from St. Paul, if cheap there. The -
Mine would buy Five thousand pounds
good dip candles (sixes) suitable for min
ing, at IL cents, and pay in drafts on New
York city, if they could be had by the LIST
of May"
The consumption, VIC understand Of
one Of the Ontonagon Copper Mines,
employing two hundred miners, at this
rate, would be two hundred pounds per
diem of these candles. The market rates
for fresh beef are from 10 to II cents per
Id. The ship canal may remain closed
until July LIST in consequence Of repairs,
&c. The Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago
steamboats, will run up to the canal and
their freight transferred across the railroad
some scvcn-eighths Of mile in length,
and reshipred on the steamers Lady El-
sin and Mineral Rock, and several sailing
vessels for the Lake Superior ports. The
expenses of transportation over railroad
will be about rs cents per barrel. 1t will
easily be.s seen that the saw-nills of Supc-
rior city will supply the Mines, and if our
Minnesota farmers are wide awake and
drive their cattle to Superior, they may
secure from 10 to IL cents per 1b at the
Mines. The Elgin's frcight-ratcs will be
very moderate, distance from 100 to 800
miles. Mr.. j. S. Richie is authorized to
act IS Agent for this Steamboat, and he is
anxious to hear from the farmers Of Min
nesota, in order to make the necessary
arrangements.

To the EtitOr Of the Puget Sound Herald:
OLYMPIA, January I'd, 1860.
! Some seven weeks ago ] sent note TO the
Pioneer and Democrat on the subject Of GTay's
llarbOr, with a view of obtaining from Captain
Alden, Of the Coast Survey, formal retracton
of his statement, made to Lieut.. Merryman, some
eighteen months since, viz, "That owing to the
shallOwness Of the water in Gray's Harbor, none
but the smallest coasting vessels could trade
there"
In response to my note published in the Pho
neer and Democrat of September last, Tor soon
after its appearancc) Capt. Alden sent his boats
INTO the harbor; and, after reaching San Fran
cisco, was kind enough 10 send a copy from his
minutes to our Governor, which was published
in the Democrat, saying that "hc found from
twoand-a-half to threc-and.a-half lathoms on the
bar" (at low water) and that his sOundings IN
side did not vary materially from those made by
Lieut.. Wilkes in 1871; leaving the impression
he had created in the public mind, through Lieut..
Merryman, substantially uncontradcted; for not
one man in ten thousand has bad the means Of
knowing what depth of water Lieut. Wilkes found
inside the bar, and il was for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning from Capt. Alden the result of his sound
ings inside that sent the note to the Democrat.
Ten days ago requested the return of my let
ter, but it seems they will neither return nor
publish it.
Having accidentally met with copy Of Lieut..
Wikcs's chart, speak from the record when
say that so far from its justilying Capt. Alden's
statement to Lieut. Mcrryman, he gives us from
80 to 80 feet of water all the way in, and for
miles in extent not less than 2j feet in the har-
Dor, with main channel leading up the bay into
the Chehalis River some 90 miles, with not less
than 2l feet anywhere, (all the soundings being
made at dead low watcrl; the channel being
from mile and half to half mile in width.
Ills chart shows that We have far better en-
trance than has the Columbia River, and more
roomy and better harbor than either Boston or
Liverpool.
Ga L e eve Of the last two Congressional cleo
tions We have been assured by Gov Stevens
that " the harbor would be sp cdi y surveyed"
But, the election being over, neither the Goyer-
nor nor his organ seem to think or care much
at out U.s. We have now made survey for our
selves, and are making arrangements for pu'.
fishing Liyut. Wikcs's chart, so We care but
little wh,th, Capt. AId.n ever surveys II or not.
We are satisfied With his official endorsement Of
Lii Ut VI ikcS's chart.
B,licving that you regard the interests ard
prosperity vi ChehaiiS county as identified with
those Vi Washington Territory, and will be dis
posed to giva Us hearing, AIN induced to send
you this note for publication.

PIcrrsE OF a MoRMoN.- Somebody has drawn
a lively and truthful picture Of Mormon, when
he styles him living paradox. A Mormon says
grace before coton, swears in his sermons,
selects his text indiifereutly from the bible, the
book of Mormon, an almanac, or the Presidents
message, and is perpetually quarreling for the
sake Of peace. His religion is a joke, and he
makes the best story.tcllers chief Of the quorum.
He assumes dignities, but has not the slightest
respect for them; and the effect Of his piety is to
put him on level with the greatest rcprobate OF
the time. In short, he is the Latter Day Saint |;
or, in other words, the last one you would think
of calling ant.
