Observation-Disclosures. Van Trump and
Stevens returned last evening from their
expedition to Mount Rainier, having been
entirely successful in their cndeavor to
reach the summit of the mountain. The
ascent was attended with much difficulty,
but was accomplished by winding around
PERCEPTIONS bluffs, and scaling others by
cutting steps in the ice, in about eleven
hours from the time they left camp. The
summit is broken up with craters, in one
of which the venturcsome explorers slept
during the night they were compelled to
remain above the clouds The Temporal
ture was exceedingly low, and they were
so benumbed by the cold, that they could
scarcely move, when providentially they
entered smaller crater, where they found
sufficient heat in the vapor issuing from
crevices in the rock to keep them from
freezing. The account of the trip, as de-
tailed by Mr.. Van Trump, is exceedingly
interesting, and he has kindly promised us
the use of his notes for q fuller reference
next week. .

GREAT CIRCLE TRAVEL. A writer
in the August number Of Old and New has
the following:
1T is not known by everybody, though
perhaps most people have been told OF it
several times. that, for all purposes of nav
ication. Puget Sound is nearer the grea.
Asia,ic marts than San Francisco Even
if the vessels going out from the Golden
Gate took their course direct for Hong
Kong or Shanghai, they would, by reason
of the longer degrees of latitude further
south. scarcely have less sailing than by
bending round more to the north. But in
point of fact, the prevailing winds and
ocean currents Of the Pacific arc such tlat
vessels from Asia find their most eligible
route bringing them within fifty miles of
the entrance to Puget Sound thus max
inc by the North Pacific, when completed.
a saving of nearly thousand miles of ocean
navigation. This, added to the diminu-
ton of distance overland already alluded
to, gives us a route from our Eastern cities
to the coast of Asia shorter by fifteen hun
dred miles than any other. When this
road shall be in successful operation, the
time required to reach the Pacific Coast by
means of it from New York City, will not
exceed about four days, allowing an average
rate of movement Of thirty miles an huor /;
making twenty-five to twenty three days in
all from New York-a less time than is now
occupied in making the voyage by way Of
the Isthmus to San Francisco.
WHY Is IT 1.-The Walla Walla onion.
in commenting upon Mr.. Browns proposed
connection with this paper, remarks that
there is much chance for improvement
We readily conccdc the fact, but it really
amounts to nothing We might say the
same thing of the Union, with just as much
propricty. Neither of us equal the Lon
don Times or the New York Herald, in
size or ability, but which paper stands the
best chance Of approximating them in the
succeeding generation, we leave the public
to judge. Chief among the cortemptible
acts publisher of country newspaper
can be guilty of, is Boosting of his own
ability" or the large circulation of his
paper, forgetting that the publ, is sencr-
ally about as we'll informed on these points
as himself When with this se!faudation
he speaks disparaging!y Of the business
prospects of his contemporaries, it shows
him to be the rossessor of soul so narrow
and contracted that it would scarcely fill
the traditional mustard seed. The only
article of especial merit in the number
of the Union that crticises us is one euti-
tied "Close of the War;" and that is very
ingcnious|y appropriated as editorial from
the St. Louis Journal Of Education, with
out so much as a quotation mark to inli-
cate that it is not the language Of the cdi-
tor of the Union.

The following iS q letter from
the Swiss Consul, at Chicago, to
General Lieb, now In our city:


the Swiss Consul, at Chicago, to
General Lieb, now in our city:
CHICAGO, Ills. Feb, Is, 1870.
DEAR GENERAL IL am in receipt
Of your last letter inclosing an ar
ticle on immigration from the
Vicksburg Herald. see from this
article that the editor is viewing
tho subject from a correct stand
point. One side of the question
should receive special that
Is, that tho proposed company
should make similar arrangements,
for such immigrants as rent lands,
as will be made for such as pur-
chase. We should not forget that
we have often to provide for i'm
migrants without much or any
means at all. TO these land would
be of no avail If ever so cheap.
The proposed association would
have, therefore, first, to provide
lands for sale. Second, for lands
to rent, acting in the capacity of
trustworthy agents Of the immi-
grants.
Can an association Of this kind
make arrangements by which the
new conner would not be obliged to
spend his last dollar to find a place,
but would be provided with a
homestead forthwith, there is not
the least doubt but that the rush
to Mississippi would be immense.
Wishing you the best sucsess in
this noble enterprise,
Iremain respectfully,
j. L. ENDERIs,
Consul.

PUBLIC DEBr.-The public debt statement
for June lst shows reduction during the
month Of May o: $l4,3ol ,s42,57. This is ut
the rate Of over $l50,O0o,O 900 u year while
our best financiers concedc that reduction of
$50, 900, 900 year is the maximum of what
should be attempted. Yet Congress is so
hopelessly in..the hands Sot the monopolists
that 1t refuses to reduce taxation, and is
eminent on corrupt Pacific railroad jobs.
The bittercst part OF the whole business is,
that while the principal of the debt is thus
rapidly being reduced the thing is effected in
such way ms not to reduce the interest for
that would not suit the bondocracy.
