EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM CLALLAM COUNTY.

DUNGINEsS. May >. lS77.
Leaving Port Townsend, we Jour
ncycd overland, for the most part
keeping up the time-honored Gus
tom of appropriating "shanks' horse"
until, arriving in this settlement, we
found leisure to reflect upon many
things in connection with the place,
and impose upon hospitable friends
while waiting to turn homeward.
Dunginess has many advantages of
no mean importance in the way of
location near the ocean, plenty of
good farming land, fresh water
streams in abundance, healthy, in
vigorating climate, &c. There is
less rain at this point, on an average,
than perhaps any other on the Sound.
Its harbor, though incapable of ac-
commodating large vessels, on ac-
count of the narrow and crooked
channel, is nevertheless quite safe,
and can be greatly improved in the
way of capacity by dredging. The
inhabitants are, with few exceptions,
good neighbors for each other, quiet,
peace-loving people and all that, but
their aggregate amount of enterprise
in matters pertaining to the growth
of their place, undoubtedly falls be-
low the point necessary to insure
great prosperity. For instance, a
few years ago, when there was talk
of erecting a substantial wharf and
warehouse at Mr.. Cline's place, there
were many who, instead of assisting,
insisted that they were quite we'll
satisfied with the old way of sending
produce to vessels, or bringing sup
plies from them in canoes or scows.
This canoe idea is one which clingsto
these people even as do traditions to
their predecessors, the natives; it is
one which will hinder their progress
until canoes are laid aside as relic
of the past, and as standing in their
light, by preventing regular steam
communication with other places, it
is an obstacle the magnitude of
which can only be measured by the
facilities and benefits of steamboat
travel.
When the farmers of this vicinity
conclude to quit patronizing canoes
and turn their trade all in the way of
a steamer, they will have one to ac-
commodate them regularly; other
wise they may be deprived, for some
time to come, of this auxiliary of
civilization. sd.iid.i s4f ,ll y

KARS.

Kars, which our dispatches an.
nounce as having been captured by
the Russians, is a fortified town of
Turkish Armenia; contains $4,000,
inhabitants, and is situated east and
south Of the Black sea, on a river of
the same name. 1t was the scene of
bloody fighting in 1855, when it re-
sisted for many months the assaults
of the Russians, and finally surren-
dered from famine in November Of
that year. eiai = iae
A sudden move on the part Of Rus
sia indicates a determination to pros
ecute the war in Asia and with even
more vigor than along the Dan
ube, there being less likelihood OF
interference of European powers
with her movements in that quarter.
