WAGON ROAD.

The most important subject at this time
requiring your careful consideration, is the
great measure for preserving the integuity
and unity of Washington Territory, and for
securing the immediate benefits and blessings
of convenient internal communication and
transportation between all the several parts
thereof, and mutually bind together the va
rious and diversified interests of our widely
spread population construction of a
passable Wagon Road on the most practica-
BILE route that can be selected, across the
the Cascade mountains, to be commenced
in good earnest, during the earliest and most
favorable season in 1864
The construction of this road across the
Cascade Mountains will Immediately and
permanently benefit the population in every
part of the Territory, and remain lasting
monument to the credit of every member of
your honorable body, whose patriotism
prompts him to aid in passing an act that
will secure the completion, at an early day,
Of this necessary and praiseworthy enter
prise.

INSANE HOSPITAL.

BY an act of the Legislature, passed Jan.
29th, entitled Gan Act to provide for the
safe keeping and treatment of Insane and
Idiotic persons" it is made the duty of the
Governor and Territorial Auditor to provide,
by contract, for the safe keeping, care and
medical treatment all insane persons. In
compliance with the requirements of said
law, a contract for that purpose was made
on the 22d day of October 1862, with the
Sisters of Charity, at st. Johns Insane Hos
pital, Vancouver, since which time the in
sane and idiots Of this Territory have been
sent there.
During the Tait summer visited that
asylum, and was highly gratifed to find the
benevolent intentions of the Legislature are
very properly carried out.
There are at present six patients in the

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

On the I'd of July, 1862, and act was
passed by Congress, entitled can Act dona-
ting Public Lands to the several States and
Territories, which may provide Colleges for
the benefit of Agriculture and the Mechanic
arts"
No action has yet been taken for the pur-
pose of securing to this Territory any parts
of the benefits and assistance provided by
said law, to aid in the establishment and
support Of an Agricultural College. And as
the 9th section thereof expressly provides the
following rigid limitations, that-"No State
shall be entitled to the benefits of this act,
unless it shall express its acceptance there
of by its Legislature, within two years from
the date of its approval by the President" "
l therefore Recommend careful examina-
tion of the title and provisions of said law.
and the adoption of the most suitable and
efficient measures for securing to this Terri
tory all the benefits that can be derived from
said act, agreeable to the wise and liberal in
tentions Of Congress.

GOLD MINES
The gold mines of the Territory have been
worked to good advantage and great profit
during the past season.
The gold bearing region, embracing the
Eastern part of Oregon the Eastern part of
Washington Territory, and all of Idaho,
West of the Rocky Mountains, yielded in
1862, from eight to ten millions of dollars.
1t is generrly estimated that in 1868, from
the same gold fields, the astonishing amount
of eighteen to twenty-five millions have been
collected.
And the great preparations made during
the present year for future operations, pro-
duces popular expectation that the enOr-
nous sum Of forty to fifty millions of the
precious metals will be gathered therefrom
in 1864, and it is fully believed by many
who have been at the various mines of Orc
Fino, Elk City, the Salmon River mines of
Florence and Warren Dggings, at Boise,
Owyhee, John Days Powder River, the
Okanagan, Spokane, Beaver Head, Deer
Lodge, Bitter Root, Fort Colville, and the
Bars of the Columbia and Snake Rivers,
that the annual harvests of gold will con-
stantly increase, year after year, in rapidly
progressive ratio for many years to come un-
til the aggregate annual collection will be-
come fabulous in amount far exceeding the
richest seasons of the gold bearing history Of
California
Miners claims are regulated by miners
laws and customs, but it is apprehended
there is one impediment to their successful
working by our citizens which these laws
cannot reach The large number Of Chinese
who have collected in several of the mining
regions on the Pacific Coast in some instan-
ces almost to the exclusion of our own citi-
zens, is source of serious complaint.

EMBARGO.

Under circular instructions from the Sec
retary of the Treasurer, Of May 10Th, 1868,
to Collectors of Customs, issued in pursuance
of a general order from the President, of
November 21st, 1862, to prohibit the ex-
portation of arms, ammunition and muni-
tions of war from the United States to any
of the States in open rebellion, the Collect
or of Customs for the District of Puget
Sound, in June last prohibited the exporta-
tion of live stock from this Territory to Vic
toria and British Columbia
The original order of the President was
manifestly rendered necessary by the exigen-
cies of the rebellion, and was designed to
prevent the possibility of army supplies be-
ing carried from the United States into the
States in rebellion When, however, prop
er representation was made of the injurious
effects of said circular upon the interests of
this Territory, closing as it did, our only
market, and at the same time dsarrangng
the commercial reciprocity and friendly in
tercourse heretofore existing between the
people of this Territory and those of Van
couver's Island and British Columbia, its
continued enforcement on the whole Pacific
Coast was promptly revoked by the Presi-
dent Thus cur citizens were relieved from
the serious losses and embarrassments which
an extended operation of that embargo would
have produced, and our business relations
were again happily restored and re-estab-
lished with the English Provinces of Van
couvers Island and British Columbia.

In my last annual Messag, l called atten-
tion to the sad and immoral effects growing
out of the readiness with which our Legis-
lative Assemblies have annulled the solemn
contract of marriage, by granting divorces
to every applicant. My views upon that
subject remain unchanged, aud cannot too
earnestly urge upon you the propriety of re-
fusng all applications for divorces and refer
ring the parties to the courts Of the Terrific
ry. In connection with this matter, [ beg
leave to call your attention to an act passed
by the Legislative Assembly on the l4th
January, 1861, and still in force, by which
it is provided that the party applying to the
Legislature for divorce, must give three
months previous notice, by publication, of
such intended application. l trust that
this law will not be disregarded and violated
during the present session.
