To BE HoPED.-It has been remarked
recently, says an exchange, that there
seems to be greater eordiality existing
between members Of the great political
parties than for q number of years back
that the era of goods feeling seems to
have come around at last. Whatever
may be the cause, let US hope that the
of the present session of Con-
gress may give practical evidence Of this
"new era,' and the cordiality with
which Hon. Alex. II. Stephens, who was
the Vice President Of the Southern Con-
federacy. was received by Radical men,
bers, may prove to be mere compliment,
from the manner in which the large ma
jority will deal with the section from
which he comes, and, in part, represents.

THE RA1LRoD.-The first regular train
between Tacoma and Tenino left Taco

SAYS the cars will leave Tacoma every

and Tenino at S1II., reaching Kalama be-
fore noon, where close connections are
made with river steamer to Portland,
making the run from Tacoma to Ports
land in about ten hours. Returning.
trains leave Tenino at 3 o'clock In the
afternoon and arrive at Tacoma at 51a.
Fare to Kalama, Sc; to Portland. 81.
Whenever the travel by this route Will
Justify the investment, a steamer Will
be put on between here and Tacoma to
make close connections with the trains
while the road is being extended to Sc

within the present year.

Nhw VESSELS. On board the bark
Martha Rideout, which arrived here
January 1st, were eight ship carpenters
with Mr.. W. Bryant, who came up to
build q three -masted schooner for Fl.
B. Ticknor 4 Co., of San Francisco.
The dimensions of this vessel will be 110
feet keel,9 feet depth of hold and 80 feet
beam. A popularity Of this vessel will
be her five jibs. She will be constructed
at Port Blakely. Within two months af-
ter the keel of the above schooner is laid
another vessel will be put on the stocks
by Mr.. Bryant, at the same place, for
Messrs. G. L. Taylor & Co., of San
Francisco. The dimensions of this craft
will be 143 feet length of keel. 10 feet
depth of hold and 81 feet beam. It is
calculated that she will carry 500, 900 it..
of lumber. She will be rigged as bark
entine. This speaks well for our ship
building interests, and from present in
dications many vessels will be built on
the Sound before the summer is OUT
