One of,o,ur passengers was on his way to the 'inotith of the Cohimbia- at Cementville, to erect a new mill.' He told me that only four weeks previously the company had been formed; already he had all the machinery on the way, and in a few days it would be put 'up, oulrthe .;yast,. Mill, ,capable or turning . 'out 100;000 feet per 'diem, would be in operation. THE OREGON FORESTS.. ' From Monticello to Olympia, eighty • miles, we traveled by stage-wagon; much of the way through dense forests. Here were trees such is I had never seen. Hundreds, perhaps thou sands of them* were from 8 feet to 12 feet 'in diameter, - anil from 150 feet to 250 feet in freight. .'Capp. Ainsworth told me that the , keel of the first steamer built in Portland was cut from one tree, its length 16'7 feet by 12x14 'inches. $An intelligent man, in whose veracity I had eiery reason to confide, assured me • that he had.assisted:'in,felling a tree; near, OlyMpia, that was eight feet in diameter near the butt, and 350 feet in height ; and that he had helped also too cutdoWn a tree, where' Olympia now, stands, that' measured 22 feet in diameter. There is a 'tree now standing , there which, :he tells me, is 1:3 feet through, and 00 feet to the first ,tint 4, *whose thickness is 3 feet. There were thousands of trees (chiefly fir , trees) that would have made masts for the largest ships in the world—trees tall and ' graceful, and of :such exquisite - proportions as 'to call out, . ' constantly, the expression of . ,our , admiring wonder. You know that; like the human , race, these trees attain almost their maximum height whilst comparatively young; and you may see many a majestic column reaching up 150 feet or more, whilst at the butt it measures only fifteen An! eighteen inches, and :it 100 feet high not mole than tem , - WASMNGTON TERRITORY. - , Reaching Olympia, the capitol of Washing ton. Territory, on Thursday evening, July Bth, we went on beard our steamer that night, and sailed before morning. The town, roughly built, has 'about one thousand inhabitants ; perhapS less. Its situation is not in all respects favorable for permanent growth. The tides here rise : from sixteen to twenty feet, and in the spring (and in other seasons under the ba fluence of northerly windS), the water comes up and GoV9ro nvata a larga roartinit of the city site. At low tide only the lightest-draught boats 'can come in or go put; nor does this seem to be a difficulty which can readily be overcome by dredging or by building long wharves. The climate here is milder in winter and cooler in summer than that of Portland : indeed so cool in summer that grains and fruits and other vegetable products requiring great heat cannot be successfully cultiVated. - , • PUGET SOUND. The sheet of water commonly spoken of as Puget's Sound, is a vast inland sea, well called the Atiditermnean of the Northwest.: Pu,get's sound, proper, would seem to be only its southernmost portions Then comes Admi -laity Inlet; then the Strait of Juan de Fuco opens to the Pacific Ocean on the West; and northward, after reaching our present boundary line, 49 degrees, it expands into the Gulf of Georgia, into which empties Frazer's river. Its direct length from OlyMpla to our boundary is ,about_lso miles;_liyAlte. usual course of- the steamers, from port to port,. the distance is inueli - greater. .

A conspicu ous- object from the water is a University building, a wooden structure of rather impos ing -appearance. The institution has had (per haps still has) n huge landed endowment. • It stands upon a plot of ten acres, which, of course, will iiecome, year by year, more and more valuable. hitherto it has been practi cally t4e public school of the town, educating 'children Of all grades of attainments. The United States coast surveys will give ,you accurately the soundings of 'this port, and of other harbors, but 1 learned that the lamest and most heavily-laden vessels can enter and leave at the lowest tides. The only disadvantage, (so far. as 1 can learn),. arises from the great depth of water, which makes unchorage diffi cult at - a little distance from the shore. Some propheti. genius, 1 may add, has put on his hotel a large sign, entitling- his house "The Western Terminus." THE LUMBER TRAM A sail of about thirty miles'from Seattle, (ot 'which I loust speak again), brought us to Tee ikalet, better knmvu_as Port:Gamble _one_of_the ,wient, lumber marts of the •somd.

It was said that there were 4;ooofeet of 'lumber in this one log; that the tree from which it was cut, would probably' afford nine or ten logs of equal length, fur nishing clear lumber, the tree being, probably, 200 feet in height, and 130 feet from the' ground to the first limb. A log of seven feet iu thick neas had been cut a day or two previous, and it: was most interesting to watch the ease • with which . these ponderous masses were moved by the workmen, using the ingenious and powerful machinery . .

CLIMATE-AND SCENERY At 3P. M. we reached POrt Townsend, a thriving littleL,towia,lnaMost delightful loca 7 tiOM The here (48 deg..N . latitude) is said to be charming. They never have ice on which it is safe to skate, and so mild are the' , Wintefs that flowers often bloom in their' gardens nu through January. We were so un forttinatd as to be prevented, both here and ~elsewhere;lrom„,seeing the .Sulb- beanty,and ' grandeur: of the scenery.. The fires in the! forests .covered earth an sky with their smoke,' and the Olyinpie range of mountains, Only. 257 miles distant, and with peaks 6,500 feet' high, were invisible 'during ottr whole sail over the 'Sound. Ileattirthat it:dear attnos Hhere :Mts.' Baker, Ranier, St. Helena; and even oed, with scores of lower eminences, can be distinctly seen from these waters. Opposite Port' TOWnsend lies. Whidbey's Island, 35 miles in length, highly cultivated and very productive. The sound. is, indeed, full of beautiful islands, reminding me of the Thousand Islands'of the St. Lawrence, and _perhaps more attractive, .because of the grand :Abe scenery. - ri - Ards MUchstruck with my inability in this voyage to realiie 'how high the mountains are. 'Ranges and, peaks far higher than the : leffieSt of the 'Alleghenies seem but hills in cOmparison with the more glorions.heightslisit abound in the -Pacific-States and-Territories. THE WESTERN COAL BEDS. At about 6.30 P:'l4 our:steamer ran ',into Bellingham Bay, near our northern bOUndary. Here, during the early dayti of the Frazer river excitement; was, tempontrily; a very large town; now there are probably not' one hundred' rest; dents, fourteen of whom aM Chinese:. This bay. seems to , be the very ; PenrisylVania;of our Pacific. coast. Barge beds of excellent bitu minous coal abound, and : the mines are suer eessfnlly worked. At the time of our visit they were emptying out the water with which they had been compelled to flood the mines, to' extinguish a„ .conflagration: By large pumps and by the rise-of tank cars they were dis charging teni4f: thousands of gallons every hem.; and they hoped to be able to resume Mining in very few days. VANCOU VER'S ISLAND Of our brief visit to Victoria (V. I.) I need say but little. The town, which . was built up by the crowds'ilecking to the Frazer river mines, is, now declining. Once, it is said,there were 10,000 persons here, for at least a tem porary sojourn; now there are scarcely 2,000 White inhabitants. The whole white popula tion of this large island was but 450 in the year 1853, when it was a part of the domain of the Hudson Bay Company. There. are supposed to be about. 10,000 Indians on it now. Its coal mines are of great importance to steamers navigating these waters. From the Queen .Charlotte Islands, about , 500 miles N! W., an excellent quality of anthracite coal is obtained. We remained' but a short time in. Victoria harbor; but long enough to see that it could never prove the seat of a very large commerce. It could not. be compared for a moment with Bellingham Bay or with Seattle in this regard. We stopped again, on our return, at 'Port Townsend and at Seattle. At the latter place we remained several hours. A detachment of our party went some distance back of the town to inspect some coal mines, and others of us went out to Lake Washington, a beautiful sheet of fresh water, probably 300 feet or more aboVe the level of the Sound, and capable, I should think, of furnishing. au ample supply of pure Water, for manufacture, or for an the uses of a great city. I inspected more closely the Uni versity building, and in title. evening, at the table, I had a long talk with the Rev. Mr. Roberts, the Missionary of our Church, at Seattle. He had brought his wife and children through the Snowqualmie pass of the Cascade Mountains, immediately S. E. of Seattle, and he described it as a pass easily feasible for Rail road purposes; and one in which there was very seldom any great amount of snow. From him and : from many others, I heard much of the country in the valley of the Yakima, and I am prepared to believe that as a stack-raisingond, in some ,parts, a wheat r growing iris one which will soon attract settlers, provided they can obtain easy communication with other sections, and a market for their produce. Returning io Olympia, we spent' the Sun day _(Jnly 11) there., Before leaving my notice of this region, let tne adduce _a few figures and --facts -as to-its-tem perature.. I had often thought, as doubtless, others bave, -- diat that theclimate. Must be one in whiCh the cold of winter, : while brac ing, should never be excessive, andthe ,warmth enough fel. all ,VirPoseS of vegetation, should never be exhausting and debilitating. Just such a climate is that Of Pu gers Sound.

' ' We bad an opportunity; on our - Way back to Portland, to diminish the ameimt of stage travel by riding down the - Cautish river, abOut 25miles, in a canoe manned by two Indians. Our party) of six. with Captain Ainsworth, senator Corhett, Geo. F. Train and his secre tary, made in ten passenger, and we all agreed that it was - a delightful part of our tra veling experiefice in the great West. EASTWARD Bouzin—TllE COLUMBIA Early in the morning of Wednesday, July 14, we left Portlaiad'on an eastward route. We were once more the favored guests of' Captain Ainswoith, who. accompanied us to the CaB - Our steamer was a large stern-wheeler, handsomely furnished and with poWerful en gines, and I may as well heresay that this day's ride on the ,ColuMbia river was'one fell of _pleasure. The scenery, in beautyyln-grandeur i in variefy-1 may say in magniticence.--- ceeded any that remember ever to have seep; and it is my deliberate opinion that for a lover of the beautiful and sublime, who;;has time _and money at his conmatitiVthis : ride--would alone repay him for a journey Of 3,000 miles. Passing directly down the Willamette into the Columbia, we. soon-reached-Font Vancouver, still. occupied by a, small garrison as a United States military post. The Cascade range of mountains,3,ooo feet high, with Mt. Mod, 14,000 feet in elevation, as its crowning glory, began to be visible shortly after leaving Van couver. The river, nearly or quite a mile wide, Passes through basaltic rocks, of most P4:- turesque and' striking forms; now huge pin naeles or greatcaStles, then gigantic steppeS or • towering pyramids, ever changing their aspect as we - approach them-or recede from them ; and in each new view disclosing new. beauty. The Multuinoh Fall, or "Bridal. Veil," though far Inferior to the falls in the Valley - of the Yose- Mite, - is a cataract of e.itquiSite beauty, coining as if tint of the side of rocks 1,200 feet high; at an elevaition perhaps of 100 feet, and making one kap of 300 feet hi sin unbroken shower of emerald and liquid alabaster, thence de scending gradually to the river.

N. latitude! The Cohunbia, ' is 'Scarcely ever frozen 'titer below "the DalleS ;" at least the' ice is seldom of such thickness as to interfere with navigation. The river; between the Cascades and the Dallas, runs through a basaltic 'formation, in which . steep: rocks 'came in, many places close to the river's edge. I have said but little in: regard to What .belongs to the province. of the engineer ; but I could not but notice, in this section, the very great obstacles that ex isted interfering with the construction of a rail road near the river. The, table-lands, on either side, are of great elevation, and to build at a heightto be clear of the spring floods, would require, I think, deep cuts and long tunnels, and no small amount of trestle-work. ' But as to such topics Mr. Robert's Will speak to better pfirpose. At the Dalles (121 miles from Portland) we again leave the steamboat.for ajailroad portage. Capt. Ainsworth's courtesy and that of Mr. Reed placed at our disposal a locomotive and .ear • so that we could go ou,or stop, at pleaspre. Before leaving the Dalles we:visited the exten sive, complete, and wel-ordered shops and offices connected. with • this great corporation, where we found every appliance at hand needed for repair or for construction, whether. by the carpenter,the car-builder,the steamboat builder, or the machinist, in any department , requiring his skill.' It seemed strange, indeed, to visit such an establishment in what mos!, of our countrymen think an' inaccessible north ern wilderness. It speaks Volumes for the energy and enterprise of the men of the Northwest. The "Dalles" were long looked upon as an im passible barrier, preventing. any communica tion along the line Of .the Columbia. In truth, this *hole region has been the scene of the most' violent volcanic activity. Basaltic rocks, in immense, masses, appear to hive been up heaved,--lwebably in a molten state,—and then submerged and again thrown up, disinte grated and torn into fragments of every . shape. In some places there are enormous heaps of the finest sand, which the wind tosses into most.fantastic forms, and which call for much care and pa tience on the part of the railroad operators. In • other spots soil has.itecuniulated, and a healthy vegetation haS edVeredthe'sands. About seven miles from the Mlles lie left the car and clam bered over the rough rocks to see the river; far below, us, passing through a narrow :gorge. Above and below, it is more than a mile in width ; here, it contracts into a bed of about two Ifimdred feet wide. It is not easy to describe ortoimagine the wild magnificence of the scene. • , SALMON FISMING Resuming Our seats in the car, we went: six miles fuxthey,amLthere.again.sought.thelrixer!si edge to see and-take-part-in the salmon - fishery. A large numberoflndians,meir, womeir arid chilren,—were-laying-hrtheir-wintoes=supply of this palatable fish-, rhich they cat up - into strips and dry hi' 'the sun. The river, in large spots; was black with the tens of thousands of the finny tribe that were plunging 'and strUg- Ong to ascend the rapids and reach, .their spawning grounds in the Upper waters. With barbs on the end of long poles, and with strong scoop-nets, such as require strong aims to man age, they were hauling out the noble fish as fast as they could plunge their barbs or nets into the pools.* We each, in turn, " tried our hand" at the unaccustomed sport ; and the In dians seemed very willing to have its use their implements and add to their stores,—and, in deed,to assist in disentangling the huge salmon from the net, and in placing them in safety on the rocks. At the proper seasbu a strong- aimed man could easily catch three hUndred fish in a day, each weighing from fifteen 'to, thirty 'pounds. in the lower part of the river (as in the waters of Puget's Sound, E . may add), the fisheries are, and must, lie, increas ingly an important element of wealth. 'Here and now, as in the day of Creation, " the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that bath life." Three or four hundred miles ;further up, in the Snake river, these fish, are caught in large quantities. A Mile further (fourteen miles in all) finished this -railroad portage and brought us ; to Celli(); where another fine boat, the Yakima; was in waiting. It has powerful : machinery, built for gohig up the rapids, or, as they say, for climbing up the the_next_ morning the cars arrived, and we set off for our last- - steamboat ride, of 110 miles, to Wallula.

These fruits are sent to the mining regions, where they command large prices. GARD ENING AND Fiunt We spent Several days in Wailkwalla; (lur ing which we Made careful and extensive inquiries as to the resources and capabilities of these regions, and of the whole country -lying north and west of this valley. We made it a point to learn facts as to climate, the shows of winter, the • effect of the summer dryness, the general health of the inhabitants, etc. The result of these :investigations , will be given fully in Mr. Roberts's repOrt.. One filet, in delibly impressed on me, is this: that out of the seeming aridneSs and barreness of these sage-bearing plains, judicious culture can de velop astonishing fertility. Mr. Ritz has a most beautiful' garden-farm, with every variety of trees and vegetables, and these prolific beyond almost . anything I had ever seen in the East; and thiS made out' of wheat, at first sight, might have been thought a prairie of sand and ashes, capable only of nourishing sage-bush or stunted graSs. He bad availed himself, indeed, of the pure streams which flow so copiously out of the mountains, using them for purposes of irrigation.

They were in the ' midst of their wheat harvest, and finer grain I never expect to see. Mr. Perkins brought me ":some heads of wheat that mirprised 'me greatly by their beauty.and their weight. He expected ! the field in which it. grew to yield 50 or 60 bushels to the acre, weighing 60 lbs. to the bushel. This field' had had the benefit of ir rigation. On Wednesday, the 21st, I joined a party for a ride, to Toucanon creek, 20 miles northeast. We found quite a caravan; Six "North Pacific?' men on horseback ; Mr. Ritz and Mr. Dugan in two-horse carriages; seven :pack-mules and half-kdozen others, o inchuling Coolies, etc., etc., all mounted. We ascended and descended high hills - (almost mountains), seeing a vast extent of country admirably fitted for grazing; some of doubt less, capable of becoming good wheat laud. In all the day's ride We had not passed a house, nor a traveler.. The country in all waiting to be opened for settlement. My first evening and night's experience in "camping out" was to me. very pleasant. I have already given you my reasons for deciding to return home, instead Of going through with the party. That ilecishm was reached with' tinfOigned,—hideed, with painful,—reluctance. I trust that it was, in your opinion, justified by the facts of the case, for I still believe, on care ful review, that my return was for the" beSt _interests_Alhenxpedition." • GRAIN AND GRASS. .

Fifty years hence, a crowded population will find ample subsistence; \there now all is solitude.

Oregon, Idaho and Utah.; to the Union Pacific Railroad at Kettin, 40, miles : west:, of Prornon tory ; ariother,stageeoach ride ' of. alMost:soo Miles. i, I found this ,part Of , Oregon,. in the Main, very much inferior, to ,that directly, south of Portland, and far . more sperselY settled. Still, I passed throngh a Country, in the valley Of the Viriatilla: and - that of the Grand Blade, in Which there were hundrects of thou Sands of acres of land, where thensands of cattle were , feeding on the prairies, and ,where, in ordinary seasons; the wheat harvestS'are immense. The drought this year had •ruined many fields ; but this, I have every reason to believe, is excep tional: In all this country the cattle need little or no winter care - . At one rancho hi the midst of a great prairie .we ,found a dairy where 60 mulch cows are tended, and , butter is made,in large quantities. Hundreds of steers and oxen were feeding and thiiring, notwith- Standing the drought: Some of the canons through which We pasSed '(especially Burnt River canon) rivaled in randetir and in wild beauty thoSe of WestereOregon.

As soon as this country becomes settled, and in the Kocvss of settlement, its travel and tractli mustlerm'an important element in the :business of a North Pacific road; especially '.if that road should cross the Snake river near LewiSton. The valleys of the Payetteand the Boise (tributaries • of ‘the Snake river) have already litany fine farms; even the best of them, however, are somewhatdependent op artificial irrigation'. s - rAorso Ix mule. • . ' From Boice City; through the , southwestern corner of Idaho and the northwestern corner of Utah, 240 miles, we found little but a deso late, uninhabited; almostlunlithabitable,wilder ness. In these ten days and ten nights the dust and the heat were ,excessive, and we did not see one house of any kind or shape, except those connected with time stagecoach line; sta tion-houseS, rough and dirty; stables, barns. etc. The horses Were, for the-Most part, noble and in excellent • condition. The ;Men were foul-mouthed beyond description, and used the lash Most unmercifully.' From what we could learn there is, little doing in Idaho, or likely to be done, except in its mining regions. Some of these are worked pr•fitably. China, men are now coming in, who will gather wealth by patient economy, but who will be much more likely to transmit or take their earn, ings to their native country than to retain it for the development of this Territory.
