For the Progress. WLtaU I Know Afcowt Washingttm Territory. Jfr. Editor: I've got the Puget Sound fever badly. And nothing hort of a residence in that North American Elysium, 1 fear, will ever effect a cure. In addition to the foresaid fever I am also "constitutionally tired," which, in this poor, worn out, aluminous country, is the sosest of all afflictions. Witb your permission, I propose giving your thousands of readers a few items that may be of interest to some of them, at least those who arc so unfortunate as to be constitutionally troubled as 1 am, in regard to that comparatively unknown Territory. 1 am presuming very muVi when I ask you to give publicity to these items ; (nor would I dare do so if I were not aware that your pilanthropic bump far exceeds m development that of your organ ef acquisitiveness,) for this reason, that yonr patrons may leave, en masse, this frigid, fervid, inhospitable clime, for that land of mild and eqnable seasons, tlxe land of Jtcrpetual flowers. But you would ose nothing, except in the matter of job work and advertising ; for of course the subscription list to your valuable journal would not be curtailed in the least by a grand hegira of the people, for each would anxiously look for, welcomely receive, and joyously peruse its lines of wisdom and mirth on those far away golden shores, lulled by the eternal music of broad Pacific's throbbing bosom. Now Mr. Editor examine your "Atlas and Gazetteer," (in the payment fbr which you evinced so much liberality, solely for the advancement of science and thereby the interests of humacity) and you will perceive that Washington Territory lies between latitudes 45 and SO6, and although between four and five hundred miles north of this point, is still south of Ireland and Eng

land, and iu the same latitude of

l1' ranee and Northern Italy countries remarkable for their equt bility and loveliness of climate. Of course everyone knows that the mildness of the winters on the eastern shores of the Atlantic are due to the influence of the Gulf Stream. A precisely similar cause, the Japan Current in the Pacific, together with an almost continuous northwest wind Umrjt the t.i hji r. .

Mr. John Sanders is a resident of Walla Walla County, Washington Territory, he has been residing there eight or ten years. He was formerly a near neighbor of mine, he was raised in this county. 1 know him well. The utmost reliance can be placed in every word be utters. Hear what be says in a letter to his brother-in-law, Mr. B. F. Meredith, dated Oct. 13th,1872 : '"We arc having fins weather here tbit fall. There were two fine rains last month. Graal has taken its second growth, and it looks more like May than October. Cattle are fat. People are sowing a great deal of whedt this fall. I have sowed ten acres and volunteered seven, and got six more plowed ready to sow,and ten more to plow, and then I want to break about twenty of prairie sod. Volunteer looks fine for the

time of year. My wheat made tweuty-flve-

ana a bait busnels to the acre Ibis season; it was the lightest crop I have raised since I have lived in the valley ; it was nearly all volunteer. I sold mv wheat for fiftylive cunts per b'.;hel. That look lihe a stnall price, but 1 can mako more ut that than you can there at one dollar unJ fifty cent per bushel.becanse I ran -safely count on thirty bushels to the acre, for it will make forty as often as it will make twenty and all we have to do is to sow once for two crops, and the second, or volunteer rop, is often better than tho first ; sometimes they harrow it after harvest, but I have always left mine without touching it, nd have never got lcs than twenty buehlc to the acre." Eureka ! The sweet haven of rest for all "tired" mortals. But there are many other advantages possessed by that highly favored land that we do not enjoy. I glean from another of John's letters that wheat can be sowed at any time between September and May, jiud bounteous crops be harvested. Here, the farmer and bis jaded team with every ligament strung to its utmost tension, the thermometer at 90 in the .shade, copious streams of perspiration issuiug from every Ire of man and beast, can barely succeed in upturning the unproductive and tenacious clay. With no hope of over reaping a remunerative crop to lure him on in his noble calling; but rather fear iu regard to the ultimate result of his labor takes possesion of him, and retains its place until the crop is placed in the granary. The rust, smut, spot or tuktge, may either, render all his toil abortive then it may freeze out, or be heaved out by continuous freezing and thawing ; in fact there is noeertainlity that he will succeed in garnering the seed that was sown. There, the Woahington plowman,

the mercury at 4ir or 5(r, joyously ! turns th mellow, black, alluvia! tail, to the tune of "Washington's grand march," buoyed by the antic-! ipatioa that he will certainly be! ajrell repaid for hi labor, that he ,

will reap two crops of golden gr.iin,

yielding from thirty to fifty busltils er acre ! John further sny.i : Tell Marion Bluir if he wishes to get a letter from me, to write to me and M.tk nil the questions ho wishes to, and 1 will try and answer them as correctly ns I o-ui. You ay your apples are all taking the bitter rot. That l- something that never hurts the fruit in this country. We run keep all the fruit we wish to from year to year. I don't think there m any better country-for Apples, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Apricots and Grapes or any other fruit that grow in a temperato climate.'' In another of John's letters he says that last winter was unpreccdentcdly cold and he fed his stock about two weeks, the first time,since he has been living there, that he has been compelled to feed at any time during the winter. He also stated in that letter that the summer just ended was the dryest ever known in that region and that his wheat crop would be short as above showu twenty-five and a half bushels per acre was the result. A lady correspondent of the Rural New Yorker, living in Washington Territory, in a communication a few weeks since, says that they raise seven hundred bushels of potatoes per acre J (Now I beseech you Mr. Editor not to tell E vcrybody about this, for I wish to engage in the Early Rose business there myself.) The mineral resources of Washington Territory are unsurpassed in any country. Coal, iron, gold, silver, platinum, lead, copper and rock salt are found there. The San Francisco ocean steamers are supplied with coal from the Puget Sound mines. In 1870, twentyfive thousand tons of coal were shipped to San Francisco from a single miue on the Sound. All of the cereals yield enormous crops. Fruit grows to a large se and of excellent quality. Vegetables attain to great proportions, and their flavor is all that can be desired. The feme of the timber of Washington Territory, is world wide. The greater portion of the country lying between the Cascade and Coast range of mountains is covered by the most magnificent forrests ; in density, and in height and size of the trees, their peers are not to be found anywhere on the surface of the globe. Fir of three varieties, cedar of two varieties, pine, spruce, hemlock, cypress, a9h,maple, and black and white oak, envelop Puget Sound aud cover a large part of the Territory. The firs in many localities will cut 120,000 feet to the acre. The cedars will measure as much in diameter as the firs,but are not so tall. In 1859 Puget Sound exported, to all parts of the world, above 180 million feet of lumber, millions of lath and shingles, I ; large amount of masts, spars ...:.: ,. ICS. .iu delightful climate of that K favored country is, to me, t?e.'t attractive feature. Its lj- - uhiiilness is another great cause f attraction. No diseases resulting from malaria are known there. I find that official observations, covering a period of six years, show the average temperature on Puget Sound to be as follows : Winter, 40; Spring, 48 ; Summer, 62; and Autumn, 51 ; for the year, 51. The difference in mean temperature, between summer and winter, it will be noticed, is only 22 The average rain-fall during the same period was 53 inches, distributed as follows: Spring, 11.19; Summer, 3.85 ; Autumn, 15.85 ; Winter, 22.62. - I believe that the character for truth and veracity of Schuyler Colfax is good. In a communication to the "Independent" he says : "Ex-Governor Ashley, who has traveled extensively over Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington Territory, and has studied the remarkable results of the isothermal lines, compares the climate of Montana to Pennsylvania, of Idaho and eastern Oregon to Virginia, and of the region beyond the Cascade mountain?, up to Puget Sound to North Carolina; and my own observation of the latter region coincides with his. Indeed the Governor General of Vancouver's Lsland told our party, In 1865, that summer flowers in their open gardens, were not injured by frosts one winter out of four." Another writer says, the Walla Walla land is as good as that of Columbia forty bushels of wheat to the acre,weighing sixty-three pounds to the bush

el, roses and other flowers blooming in the open air on Christmas day, and fruit for market in two years after transplanting of the grafts, being the proof. All of which John's testimony corroborates. No country can excel Washington Territory in water privileges. The noble Columbia, and its tributaries, waters and brings fertility to a large proportion of the Territory. No less than ten rivers having their sources in the Cascade Mountains, go thundering down through their alluvial valleys and pour their chrystal floods into Puget Sound, affording water power sufficient to move the machinery of a continent. The Sound extends across two degrees of latitude, and contains harbors sufficient to shelter the commerce of the world. It is connected with the ocean by the Strait of Fuca, eighty miles in length, and ten to twelve in width. Within the next century a commercial metropolis of stupendous proportions will be reared upon the Sound. The agricultural, mineral, and commercial resources of that region having been brought into requisition, will be amply sufficient to produce that result. My communication has been ex-

tended far beyond the limit intended . when I bcptin, and yet the half bus i not been told in regard to flint mar- : velous land. As 1 desir; to (lis-! poe of my property before I leave, j and t). course for ns good r. price as j possible, aud therefore not wishing; toe much real estate thro.vu upon '

the market at once, I will not tell your readers about the great fisheries on the Columbia and th i Sound.

For fear enough has been told already to cause an enigrating manin to take possession of the people which might prove disastrous in its resiults, as a precautionary measure I will propound a few questions to John, as he desires me to do so. I will ask him if grizzly s are pretty numerous in his vicinity, md how many women and children pre required weekly to satiate the capacious rnaw of each. If Mr. Lo,with scalping knife in hand, j ays frequent visits to the settlements for the purpose of securing raw material for replenishing: the chigt.ons of Mrs. and the Misses Lo.

Burled A 11 re. For som time past the work of removing the remains of the departed from the old Roman Catholic burying ground lo the now cemetery has been quietly going on,nrd nothing more than might beexK i;teJ under the circumstances occurred until the other day. The sacred an!heshave been reverently taken from their narrow beds and removed by the hands of friends to the new city of the dead. Affecting incidents have naturally occurred, some scenes bordering on the revolting have been witnessed in the old cemetery. Recently buried bodies have been nncoffined that fond eyes might gaze upon their features for a last time before covering them with the sod again. One such incident, of a startling nature, occurred last Tuesday. A gentleman who was engaged in removing the remains of some of his decesised relatives, was asked by an acquaintance to assist him with tbeofnn. He did so, the lid was taken off. To the horror of the small body of spectators who gathered around it, they discovered that the body, which was that of an uncle of the gentleman who wa- removing it, had been disturbed in. the coffin. It was terribly contorted, as if the deceased had died in great agony. The face wore an expression of intense pain and horror, the arms were drawn up as far as the coffin would admit, and the head was twisted round to the shoulders, and the flesh had apparently been gnawed by the struggling man. Sickened at the horrid sight, the spectators drew back from the coffin ; and looked speechlessly into each other's eyes. Not a word was spoken, but there wa? not a man present who did not feel that the deceased had been buried alive probably while in a trance and had a wakened only to perish in his living tomb. The coffin was closed again and taken lo the new ceme tery where it was decently interred. Every precaution was taken to hush up the affair but it has got abroad, aud we now publish it without given names. Ottawa Citizen.
