We are informed by gentleman who
was present during the affair reported by
US on Monday last, Of further particulars
concerning the desertion Of soldiers from
the American camp, last week. 1t ap-
pears that the commanding officer of the
U. s. camp, Capt. Haskell, saw four SOL
diers in the Indian canoe, and who as was
supposed were about to desert. The Off
Ger mentioned, sent Lieut.. Bird with a
squad of seven men to intercept the party,
who having found they were discovered,
tried to land With the intention of return
ing to their quarters before being arrested,
and with view of stating there was no
desire on their part to desert. Three of
the deserters were arrested however, and
the fourth man lay in the canoe with the
Indians, drunk. He was subsequently,
taken to the English camp, and was
handed ever to the American authorities
by Capt. Delacomb of the British forces.
The four men are now lying in the guard
house awaiting trial. 1t was not known
when the soldiers fred on the canoe the
result, but we are informed the order was
first, to fire ahead Of the canoe, to try and
bring her to; this having been Intellectual,
thd soldiers were ordered to fire upon her,
when the result as before stated, was that

Chance to Create a Huainess.

Ofall the settlements on Puget Sound /
Port Townsend is worst supplied with
water. This is not so much the fault Ct
the natural position of the place as it is Of
the negligence and lack Of enterprise on
the part Of those who live here. Here
have we been. year after year, suffering
for want of good, pure water, when with
comparatively little expense it could at
any time have been obtained. At the
head of the bay, and emptying into it, is
plenty of as good water as was ever put
to the lips of man yet we have hitherto
allowed it to run to waste and have drank
the salty seepings OF the swamp at the
foot of the hill. We do not intend to en-
ter into a consideration of the cost OF
bringing good water into the town BY
means Of pipes-that will do by>and BY
when our people have more money to pay
for water and don't want to buy land
but by cheaper method and way that
viii pay good living'to some enterpris-
ing man with small eapital-7Say $500.
We mean to bring the water BY means of
a boat, from the station and, with water
cart, distribute it to customers in the town.
The arrangement and cost might be some
thing as follows:
A properly constructed water boat, with
pumpI and hose, would cost, say, $175 /;
areservoir, constructed on the wharf, 800;
a cart, horse and harness, 5000; arrange
ment at thu brook, so that the boat could
be readily filed, $25-in all $500. The
reservoir on the wharf would be construct
ed sufficiently large to enable the owner
to supply shipping, besides the town do
mand. One person could manage the
whole Sffair, which, through the summer,
would pay about $3.50 per month, besides
what the ships would buy-probably in
all it would run up to about $20O-that
is, not counting any increase in the town
during the coming summer. Now. it
would just about pay a mans expenses.
