THE CHRISTMAS EVE BALL.-I'he most
pleasing entertainment it has been our good
lot to participate i'll, was the ball at the Wash
ington, on Wednesday evening last. The
beauty and wit of the Capital had gathered
there, and bright the lamps shone DER brave
women and fair men. We noticed many pre-
sent from distance, and were pleased to OBJ
serve the disposition manifested by our peo-
pie to yield the floor to strangers. We have
the assurance that this court, sy was fully ap-
preciated by our guests, who expressed them
selves as highly delighted with the whole af-
fair. Not the least remarkable feature of the
entertainment was the supper spread by the
proprietors of the hotel, Messrs. kellett &
Sargent. 1t embraced all that is usually
deemed essential on such an occasion. and
much more besides The ball was COM

The Legislative assembly of the Territory
of Washington would respectfully represent,
that San Juan, Orcas. Lopez. and the ada.
cent Islands contiguous to the continent. and
South of the 49th degree Of North latitude, in
the county of Whatcom and in this Territory,
have an area of five hundred square miles Of
good agricultural land that have not been sur
veyed, and upon which there are settled two
hundred loyal American citizens, whose chief
employment is farming and stock raising; and
would further represent that the above-named
citizens are laboring under great inconve-
nience, and the improvements Of their farms
are being much retarded by their conflicting
claims to the land, which can DO ameliorated
and in future avoided by proper knowledge
of the lines of demarkation between them.
In view of these facts, your memorialists
would respectfully pray that instructions be
sent to tho Surveyor General Of this Terrific
ry to extend the u. S. surveys over the above
mentioned Islands at the earliest possible mo-
ment,

An Ex.Webfoot's Opinion Of Olympia.

An EX' w eD10Ots VpAMVa VI VyWp18s
We take the following paragraph from the
editorial correspondence Of the Walla Walla
Statesman. Its originality is really r.fresh-
ing. 1t is probably intended, however. for
digestion abroad,-at least not by anybody
who has ever visited the town:
"Olympia is situated at the head of the
Sound, which, is perhaps couple of miles in
width as far down as you can see. The town
has an Extremely antiqxated, not to say dizap-

throughout "The surface Of the ground upon
which it is built is qxite xxeren" Start not,
dear reader, the worst is yet to comet "there

supposed that the site upon which Olympia is

were mistaken "rendering the building and

The Union Resolutions.

We publish in Tuesdays House proceed
Jugs The resolutions adopted by both Houses.
pledging Government the support of our peo-
pie in the struggle for National existence.
They meet our views precisely, and Will
doubtless be endorsed by every true Union
man in the Territory. Although there was
considerable squirlning in n certain quarter
before the resolutions come to third reading,
let it be said, to the credit Of our Territory,
the resolutions were passed with but ono dis
spnting voice. Government will now know
wltr. We stand, and favor us accord
ing to our just merits. Our prediction is YER
flied orr people are loyal, and did not with
the warning ringing in their ears elect men
who would prevent an expression of loyalty to
the General Government.
We understand the third resolution to en-
dorse, without qualification the Administra-
tive policy of the President, as indicated in
his late Message to Congress. The language
is plain and explicit, and hence the apparent
attempt Of several party resurectionists to
strangle the resolutions before they were
placed on final passage. When it came to the
,csthowever they could not, with the example
Of their illustrious predecessors before them,
throw them overheard without sinking with the
weight. The agony of some of these men was
distressing to behold. They tried by every
article they could propose to delay and pre-
vent the adoption of the resolutions. We will
have chapter, to write in regard thereto.
Mr.. Bagley supported the resolutions in
good faith, and steadily voted against all mo-
items to REFER to postpone. to lay on the table,
etc.
In the Council the resurrectionists writhed
even more than in the House. and-r0ted for
Mc rcso/ut;ons mnder protest.! Every men,
Der present, with but one exception, stated
that in voting for them it was with the under
standing that they did not endorse the meas
ares of the Administration. They voted for
them with "mental reservation" We
presume this is what is meant by "Constitu-
tional Democracy" We need not be SUR
priscd nowadays, at the attempts of these
honorable gentlemen to make white appear
black, or black white to suit their convenience.
We regret that our Reporter was not pres
ent to report the gentlemen in full. We have,
however, a condensed report, furnished by
friend, witch will serve for reference.

The RISE IN PAPER-Tho price of print
ing paper has advanced over 100 per cent. in
the Eastern markets, causing, of course. a cor
responding advance on this coast. This rise
is caused by the scarcity of raw material,
which will probably govern the price till the
close Of tho war; The scarcity Of rags for
manufacturing purposes is caused principally
hv the substitution of WOODEN fabrics for cot
ton, which have advanced to an alarming fig.
IRE. Many Journals East have raised their
prices, which example must be followed, soon
or or later, by all publishers who desire to
continue business. TO illustrate: the blank
paper upon which the STANDARD is printed
has cost us, heretofore, Sc per ream. the fifty.
two sheets furnished each subscriber in the
course Of tho year amounting to 65 cents.
The same size and quality Of paper now costs
Sl2 per rcam. or 81 80 per year, cash. in
blank paper alone which we furnish each sub
scriber, leaving but 81 10 to pay for labor,
rent, ink, and the thousand -and-one articles
absolutely essential for the conduct of the bu-
siness. We have concluded, therefore, to
raise our price of subscription to So so, which
increase is still less than the advance on mate
rial. From and after Saturday next. we will.
in all instances, require the new rates-ix ad-
rance, as heretofore. Our patrons will now
observe the reason why publisher should, ii,
justice to himself, place his business on cash
basis. When credit is given, in each instance
where payment is not made the publisher
would lose 81 80 in paper alone. Besides, il
the amount should be paid promptly at the end
Of the year, the interest on the money expend'
cd for paper on each 100 subscribers would
amount to Ss4. This being the case. we have
fixed our terms as above. Those desiring to
renew at the former rates must do SO prior to
Saturday next.

DIED, in Grand Haven, 25th inst,
MARY HINES, aged six years.
Little MARY had very active intellect,
an amiable and affectionate disposition,
and was a great favorite with all her play
mates, and the pet Of her teachers and pa
rents. But short was her little day OF
life. After suffering with much patience,
for a week, the distress peculiar to the
disease, diptheria, of which she died, she
has gone to the Good Shepherd above.
The following are some Of the verses
recited by her at the close Of the last
term of school-the narrative of which
seems much like the history of her own
brief existence:
Within poor mans dwelling
A lovely rosebud grew;
Pure as the dews of heaven,
No guile it ever knew.
The lovely flower expanded,
Each day it grew more rare,
They priced 1t more than rubies,
And watched with jealous care.
Whene'er passing shadow
Disturbed this gentle flower,
They'd shield il in their bosom
It grew more lovely there.
Not long bad they TO watch il,
And battle il with their tears;
A solemn voice from heaven
Came gently to their ears,
Saying, "The little bud lent thee
Is dropping all alone
A messenger is waiting
To bring me back my own"
They watched beside her pillow,
Till the sunshine's golden ray
Had kissed the early evening,
And then she passed away.
And so the angels bore her,
On wings of purest love,
Up through the pearly gates
To the paradise above.
