CAPT. Ballard gives us the follow
ing incident, related to him by Capt.
Carroll, late of the Inflated steamer
Great Republic and now of the Alcr.
Duncan: On Sunday evening, when
the great ship was breaking up and
no one left on board but the captain
and pilot, two dogs, the one shep-
herd and the other terrier, followed
the men about the deck, saying as
plainly as anxious looks and piteous
means could say, go save u.s." AS
darkness came on, Capt. Carroll
seated himself upon box towards
the forward part Of the ship, and
after remaining some time with his
head bowed in almost hopeless con-
temptation, his attention was ar
rested by the two dogs, one on eth
er side, resting their heads upon his
knees with their noses close together
and intently looking up into his
face as if they, too, were cognizant
of his deep affection and had come
to comfort him. The intelligent an
imals were subsequently taken
through the boiling surf and reached
the shore in safety. Upon meeting
Capt. Carroll their demonstrations
of Joy knew no bounds, and the ten
derness with which they fawned
upon him amounted to absolute RI
valrv, lacking DULY the God-given
faculty of articulate speech to make
it human.

The Good Time Ahead.

upon, Washington Territory is AT
tracing more attention among capt.
talists and business men, than ans
other portion uf the Pacific slope.
The late railroad doinSs are causing
people to look towards this North
western coast as the promised land.
In good many respects, Cali
forniG and Oregon have had their
day, while we are yet in the glory of
our minority. Our Territory pos
sesses prestige not to be ignored,
from the fact that it exceeds every
other State aud Territory in the ex-
tent and variety of it's maritime adj
vantases. Other inland seas separ-
ate different States, but Washington
Territory is peculiarly blessed and
favored in being the sole possessor
of Puget Sound. Divided by Il
snow.covered mountain range, into
two slopes of entirely distinctive
features, our future sovereign State
caters to population of thousand
varied tastes and characteristics.
The most fastidious settlers cap he
satisfied with every variety of eli
mate to be found within the pale of
our widely extending Union. If q
Western man wants prairie coun-
try, especially adapted to stock rails
ing, we can point him to millions of
acres of just such land, only waltz
ing to be turned to good account bH
muscle and determination. LabOrinS
kinds who prefer Tie dense and il
limitable forests, can also be salts
fed to their hearts content. Be-
tween these two extremes, every pos
sible phase Of landscape scenery can
be found for the searching.
Whatever may be said of the Co.
lumbia river as a great commercial
outlet, tue Straits Of Fuca offer
more than an adequate counterpart.
BY extending into the heart of West
ern Washington, the salt waters of
the Sound not only exert miliora-
ting climatic influence over the
whole face Of the country, but its
network of indentations offer rare
inducements to commercial enter
plises. Puget Sound is an excep-
tion to all other similarly situated
bodies of water. Its harbors and
inlets can be counted by the score,
and most of them reach far up int1
the richest districts of farming,
country, thus affording thousands
Of husbandmen unequaled facilittol
for sending their produce to market.
The emigration society, recently
organized by the people of Port
Townsend, promises to do much for
the lower Sound country. The
managers OF that institution are
making efforts to have the north
western corner Of the Territory sur
veyed into townships, the better to
offer proper inducements to settlers.
That portion of our Territory is, OF
present, q comparatively unknown
wilderness; broken somewhat by
hills, but abundantly interspersed
by extended patches of the richest
farming lands. The supply of run
ming water and timber is next to in
exhaustible. In a former article,
we humbly attempted to talk up our
town. Now we are talking up our
Territory. AS we have once before
intimated, Eastern people who are
seeking information, have little faith
in elaborate pamphlet descriptions,
but we do believe they have just
measure of faith in candidly written
newspaper articles.
