the surface work was not better for that Sec
ton. We replied. tba. though the plou-
gh might have been put in too deep at one
time, yet should drought occur, the benefit
Of thorough working would De seen; and We
requested to hear the testimony of the corn

letter from tee same gentleman, stating that

DATE FOR DELEGATE TO CoNGaRss. to be supported

two dele gates for each Representative in the Ter
rtorial Legislature. according to the apportion-
nlcnt of 1861. but securing to each county ut least
one delegate in the said Territorial Convention.

scntaton of sentiment. The respective counties

|. Shoshonc !.
The committee agreed that Sawamish was cnti-
tied to Il member of the Legislature. and have
therefore given to that county the Representa-
t;on to which she isjustly entitled.
Republicans are urged to perfect their county
organizations at once. and to hold their county
meetings at an carly day in May to nominate dele
gates. While all counties are urged to send dele
gates in person, proxies may give the vote in :hc
Convention to which the county is entitled.

A Good Time Coming.

We cannot but believe that not far
in the distance can be observed the
vague glimmerings of a brighter season
IA time when that cXccrated individu-
al, "HaM Times" will yield the ruth
less sceptre to Prosperity, Thrift, and
Industry.
We have fair expectations of Il goodly
immigration to this Coast, and cspc-
cially to Washington Territory, the
coming Summer and Autumn. The
appropriation recently made by Con-
grcss for the protection of the cmigrant
route, .judiciously expended, will allay
all fears to be apprehended from the
Indians, to those who have for years
looked to "Far West with longing
\ eyes, and the rapid transmission of news
from ocean to ocean will place this
coast in much more available light to
those contemplating change of loca-
ton. The hartlships and uncertainties
of \ trip across the plains have hitherto
deferred many who would gladly assist
in building up our new country. But
u few years since, when the transit from
Independence or St. Joseph, in Mis-
souri,, to the Dallcs, Oregon, by on
team, required from four to five months,
it is not surprising that but few of the
more bold and daring should find cour-
ege to encounter the rigors and hard
ships attending such ajourney, and for
the last three seasons, since the close
of the Indian war, in the unsettled as
pect of affairs, we did not anticipate
u heavy immigration; but now, when
not only is the trip assured to be
safe and feasible, but the country itself
presents moro inducements than before
it was explored and developed, but lit
tie exertion on the part OF the people
already here, in furnishing reliable in
formation concerning our climate, soil,
productions, and inxhaustable mineral
resources, would be necessary to cause
our Territory to swarm with an indus
trious population. This portion of the
coast would present inducements emf
ncntly superior to those OF Oregon or
California. in presenting a greater area
