Port Townsend, Sept. II, 1864.
The effect of the agitation Of the Iucs-
tion above alluded to has been the exclusion
of all foreign vessels from these waters; a
result for which We are indebted solely to
the grasping avarice Of the owners Of tho
Eiizd dHderson. As the mill proprietCrs
are directly and deeply Interested, We pre-
sumo they will take steps to have this pro.
hibitiOn of their foreign trade removed. A
truthful representation to Congress, at its
next session, We believe, will lead to the
enactment Of law restoring this important
trade.

xArIGATIox OF PUGET SOUND NJ FOR
EIGN vEssELB.

EDlf0R P. s. HERALD Pending the
decision, by the Court, Of the case Of the
British steamer Alexandra, have forborne
20 notice items in various newspapers, some
III which were correct and some incorrect.
Twill now give brief statement Of the
facts.
Ever since Puget Sound has been Col.
lection District, foreign vessels, after enter
ing at the Custom House, and depositing
Shoir registers, have been allowed to pro
ceed, in ballast, to the mills or to other
places, in order to get their outward cargo.
With this they would return to the Custom
House and clear. 1t was regarded con
,strnetively as loading at the port Of entry.
This usage under my predecessors was not
disturbed BY me, nor was its legality pre-
scented for consideration, until the Atexdn-
dra commenced her trips to Olympia and
Steilacoom for cattle to export to Victoria.
Parties interested in the Eliza anderson
then raised the question, and contended
that the Aierandra was violating the steam
Boat law. Believing such was the case, the
master was fined to the full amount allowed
by the steamboat law, for every trip, which
fine was paid under protest. The owner Of
the Eliza anderson then obtained, from his
Honor the Supreme Judge, q restraining
order, fOrbidding me to clear the AIexGn-
drd, when loaded with cargo obtained above
the port Of entry, as having violated the
revenue navigation and cOastinglaws. After
an able argument before the Court the in
junction remains.

"THE WASHINGTON DEMocRAT."-
This is the title Of a new aspirant for pOpu-
lar favor, to be published at Olympia, the
first number Of which will make its ap-
pearanec about the first Of November next.
As the title signifies, it will be party jour.
nal, devoted to the advocacy of the princi-
pies Of the Democracy; but we fear it will
be too late in the field to save Little Mac
from another defeat. The prospectus,
which We publish in another column, al
leges that it bears the endorsement of the
Democratic Central Committee, who thus
adopt it as their organ. Mr. L. E. Hicks,
the editor and proprietor, is widely known
in this Territory as fluent writer, and as
n frequent contributor to the Portland
press; also as publisher of the TsReourev
Telegraph, during its brief existence. He
is well qualified to make up good paper
for the party whose cause he espOuses, and
will doubtless do so if the members of that
party give him fair living support. The
paper will be as large as this journal, and
contain large variety of selected matter,

REVENGE AT LAST.
BY EDWARD PERHAM.

|
Whether it is right in all cases to forgive an
unprovoked wrong done to us, we will leave for
more moral philosophers to debate; together
with the questions, whether repentance or atone
| ment should be the conditions of pardon, and
with that other important question, whether a
| readiness to excuse a malignant or dishonest
act does not encourage evil doors. Does the
Almighty teach us to pardon those who neither
atone nor repent? 1t is not in human nature to
suffer unjustly without wishing retaliation upon
the one who caused that suffering, knowingly
and unprovoked. Magnanimity may overlook
the smart, but strict justice may not demand
such magnanimity; and virtue may not frown
at the satisfaction of all revenge.
When Adam Stanly the father of our hero,
on his deathbed, Walter was but six years
DID,. Conscious of the near approach of the
dread summoner, Ire babe the boy call in their
nearest neighbor, Mr.. Tobias Luroy, who came,
and was thus addressed by the dying man:
81 have lived in this miserable wooden howell
but few months, as you aware. Reverses
of fortune compelled me; and since the death of
my beloved wife, and all my children-save
Walter the youngest-he has been my sole COM
panion; for I have kindred this side of the
grave. But for him, should be glad to 90 ; and
as my children have had slender frames, think
it will not be long before he will follow me. You
are a stranger to me, but as my hour is at hand,
I beg to intrust him to your care. You are re-
puted to be man of some means, and you NAV
find Walter of sufficient use to you as he grows
up, to pay you for the trouble and expense of
your support and guardianship. This blank
book will place at your control thousand dol
lars, the last remnant of my property a sum
which reserved for his benefit in case should
be suddenly taken away. Take it, and use it in
his behalf. Be kind to him. 1t is my dying
prayer; and may the God of the helpless re-
ward you in proportion to your goodness to
him.
Tobias Luroy grasped the book and promised
And in few moments Adam Stanley lay dead
before his sobbing boy, and beneath the hard,
cold gaze of his neighbor
The funeral over, Walter Stanley was received
into the house of Mr.. Luroy. He had pale
face and a delicate frame, but he was a sweet
featured and bright-eyed boy, and might easily
have won his way into the affections of any
stranger, had that stranger possessed heart of
ordinary softness. But Tobias Luroy, sordid

| cruel and relentless as he was avaricious, and
Hat the thousand dollars were dishur-
thened of the boy, he longed for him to die and
to that end became the constant tyrant, instead
of protector. During four years of friendless
wretchedness, the gentle, harmless stripping
| found his only home on earth hell. Whatever
inadvertent childish error he committed was
severely punished. His affectionate impulses
were repealed; his kind actions unthanked for
and unrewarded and at tiranA he was subjected
to torment such as could not have been conceiv-
ed or put into execution by any but a demoniac
heart.
The child was half-starved, ILL clothed, uncared
for in sickness, kicked and cuffed when he was
comparatively we'll. No longing glance ever
met his own when he looked up to the hard face
of his british guardian. No plaything. such as
all children long for, could he ever call his own,
Ii he ventured out to sport while with others
OF his age, he was sure to be terrified with rep.
rimands or whipping for it, unless he contriv.
ed to do it by stealth; and even when undfscoy-
cred, play was almost no play for him, for he
mixed in the pastimes with aching heart, al
ways apprehensive. There was wild, almost
hysteric sadness in his laugh, and the poor bow
looked almost always frightened. In those
games so necessary and endeared to youth
trembled at the marbles, missed the fying
ball, sent the arrow wide of the mark, his speed
slackened in the race, or his heart and strength
and liveliness failed in any boisterous game-he
dreaded what might follow!
For trifing indulgences like these, or some
ordinary mishap or natural mistake he would
sometimes be locked in room alone for three
days together with scant bread and water to-
keep the miserable life within him. At other
times his tyrant would take him into the cellar.
where rope and pulley had been rugged up for
his especial torment, and after being hauled up
to the ceiling, he would receive merciless fog
ging, while hanging by the hands; or in that
position be lowered and plunged repeatedly into
a hogshead of water, till he was nearly drowned,
and then be sent, exhausted, supperless and
to bed. So completely was he cowed
by such treatment, that he dared not reveal it to

THE MEMORY OF THE BURIED BRAVE,
BY T.. H. UNIAC,

The memory of the buried brave,
Oh, shrine it in your soul forever
The hero of an honored grave
spreadins Ger Times Yer fieeting waYe
he Spirit Of f his life n d9r crssfv schema
An everlasting war he wages,
And, like the foam fleet on the stream,
Each glowing hope, each brilliant dream,
Flows down to future ages,
At length the stately millions learn
That while the servle court the stearn
And lose, for gold, their love for glory,
New chains are all such Slaves can earn,
Save cruel death and burial CORY.
But when the brave, the bold, the good,
Are banded in true patriot labor,
They feel the iron in the blood
OF each who died for nationhood,
Was strangely gathered, from the flood,
To form a conquering sabre.
To conquer mind, to chain the will,
Shall be without one sane believer.
A creed that mocks fixed nature, still
Is but a base and false deceiver.
Truth shall bend no suppliant knee
To wrong and riot; they must falter!
The very ashes of the free
Give rapid growth to liberty
What marvel-happier days shall see
Each nameleSs grave an altar.
Ger ruined hopes let tyrant's laugh,
And quaf their wine DER baffied merit;
The strong winds humbled by the chaff
Is aye the dream that fools Inherit
They cannot steal the epitaph
GraVed on the marble or mans spirit,
There it abides the promised hour
When earth shall be aroused, and hidden
OF Heaven, to hurl down tyrant power.
From freedoms meadow mead and bower
Slavery's home and l0rdly tower
1t shall by God be driven.
The memory of the buried brave,
The last fond twilight streak adjoining
The hero of an honored grave
Is first to send around the warning.
Preedom--by the South long deemed dead
Is bursting forth, in Orient morning,
Ger that memory shrined in tears,
which few save God regard with sadness.
The dew no mortal seas nor hears
Until the rosy morn appears,
Xs still the lOvelies thing that wears
The light of morning gladness.
