Tlie only vullfji aaitulile for human habitation then known to oxiat, were needed fur the occupancy of tlie Indiniit. nnd tho.o beet informed ho tiered that tlie rnjfgeil nature of tlie uoatt range of inonnlaina would forever debar tho popula tion of the Willamette Vullcy from using the hnrbnri which were found at tho eetimrici of tlie Siaaelaw, Alacn, Tillamook and Yaquina rivcra. Under tliia belief it waa quite natural that little regard ahould be paid to economy in annronriulinir territory which wn oonaidered io s',m nluele8, and consequently the Coast Reiorra ! tion was made very large, extending North nnd O ...L .1..... I. . 1 t ...11 ...i n.l .,..;. OOUin nirUlU UIIV UUIIUIVU iiiiicd. ami u. caging in breadth about twenty. After tho removal of Indians to this tract wascoimnoucod, it wat found that tho expense nnd difficulty of trnua porling supplies across tho coast rnngo was so great, that economy required a locution for tlie interior tribes, on tho enatern bIoiio of the range, and accordingly thu rights ol tlie settl ers in a small valley known m tlie Grand Uonde, (upon tho head of Yamhill Uivcr) wore pureliaaeil, ami that tract (Townships 5 nnd fi South, Itnnge 7 nud 8 West) was added tn the already lurgo Reservation, nud an important agency located Ihereon. Tho total number of Indians nmv upon thi Ilenervatioii is by enil mernlion 4. Hil distributed as fullows, to wit i 1.3ii2 at Grand Uonde, 2,312 at Silelz, nnd 5 at Alsca. Those at Grand Hondo have no com munication with the Ynquiua Day, nnd will not he nflected by nny tiling which may trnuspiro there. The Sileti: Agency is about twenty-five miles from thu ocean, seven miles from the head of navigation upon tho north fork of tho Yaqui'ia Day, and thirty miles from the prtipneed town site, which is upon tho south fork. It is locat'd in the southern edge of a valley, upon tlie Si lelz Iiivcr, nud is surrounded by a district of very fertilo land, sufficient in my judgment to support a larger number of Indians than nre ut nil three, of the agencies combined. There are other valleys nf less extent further north upon the Salmon, Neetucka nnd other streams which put into tho ocean, upon which there arc no set tlements. The Alar a Agency is upon the ocean, nbnut thirty miles below the Yaqiiinn Day, ami eight miles below tho Alana. Only two-thirds of the ludians reported under the control of that Agent, are actually at tlie Agency. Tho re mainder are at tlie mouth of tho Siuselaw Hivcr.nbout thirty miles further down thooonst, where they have been permitted to remain be cause they do not interfere with any whites, ana subsist tlieiuscies tiy tinning and a little agriculture. f 1 lie Inregome statements, il read with a mnp of the Reservation, at hand, will enable you to understand the location of the Indians; and It is apparent that a settlement of whites at tho Head ol tlie soutli torn of Yaquina Day, would he in immediate contact with Indians on both sides. Experience has shown that such enntaat always results unfortunately tn both whites and Indiana, and in my judgment it oupht tn bo avoided. Hut at the same time, I think, such change can be made iu the dispo sition nf the Indians, aa will enable thu v hite settlements tn take advantage, of tho facilities fur transportation which the harbor of Yaiiuiua affords, and at the same time escnpo tho evils which joint occupancy of the san e territory hjr whites and Indians, will surely entail. Thero are lint 530 Indians located below (south of) the buy referred to. but those at Siletz have tho privilege of viailing it for fishing purposes. Fish are as nliuudaut at the tnoulli ol Nletz Kiver as ut Yuiiuina, nnd ample supplies fur all lliu Indiana can be thore obtained. Dcsldes, the tribes are all advancing rapidly in agricul ture, and as they have moro abundant supplies nf farming products, their want of fish dimin ishes. If nil who nre located below the Ya quina can be removed to places north of Silclz, there will then be no objection to throwing the whole south rn half of the Reservation oiu n to settlement, nnd Ihe interest of both Govern ment nnd Indians will be advanced. Thu hit ter by being more compactly located upon land which will allord them ample subsistence, and the former by greater economy nnd efficiency in their control and luaungeniect. Ihe t.ccrs- sity fur one Agency would bn done an ay with ml its expense, avoided, while no additional expense, alter the removal, would he entailed upon ihe Agency ut Siletz. I therefore recom mend that uieasiircn be taken to remove the Indians fiom Hiusehtw, Alsea ami Yaquina to Ihe Siletz or some of the smaller valleys further north. If this is determined opou. the question will then arise. Where ahull the southern boundary of the Kcacrvatii n be fixed ! This office is not in possession of sufficient Inlonnntinii to en able me tn express a definite opinion upon this point, without a particular examination of the locality, but the boundary should undoubtedly be snmewheru between the Siletz and Yaquina. The diatnnco between the two streams varies iu width, from seven to thirty miles, and, except the giist mill belonging to the Indians, near tlie south bank of tlie .Hilutz, ami the small settle merits of Indians along the shores of Ynquiua, is entirely unoccupied. It ia densely wooded, portions of it ru. ged mountains, and other por tions worth leas swamps, and none of it likely soon to be wanted for settlement. . A line pas sing through some part of this tract would un doubtedly lie a proper division, hut just where it should begin, where it ought to run, or where end, 1 cauuut determine without a close exam ination. In removing the Indians (should that course he determined U on) their consent must first be oblnined, and provisions made for the expense which will be incurred. 1 have repeatedly called the attention of the Comimaaioner nf Indian AfTaira (ride my Annual Report for Ifti-'i, and same for IHti4) to the necessity for some treaty provisions with the Coast Tribes, and permanent arrangements for their control and gnidauce. It is unnecessary for me to re peat those suggestions at this time, but I cannot Ion strnrgly urge the attention of the Depart met to tbem. In regard tn the expense attending the re moval, I have Dot been called opou for an es timate, lint it is proper, in view of the desira bleness of immediate action by the Government (il action at all be determined on) that I should submit data which will enable an appropriation tn be made without the delay of again refer ring the matter tn this office. The enclosed estimate covers in my judg ment tlie necessary expense, while it has been reduced to ns low a sniu as the circumstances will warrant, and it is respectfully submitted lor your consideration. You will note that my remarks have been confiurd mainly to the effect nf the proposed measure, with reference In the interests id the 1 InJia.ua, and of the Gori-rument in its rl itioua to them. 1 his 1 understand to lie, strictly speaking, the scope and extent nf your enquiry, but. 1 trust. I sha I not he considered exceeding the limit! which il it is proper I should observe, if t remark briefly upon the importance In the white settlements of the opening of this bay. I The bay of 1 aqnina hai nm, as your letter OREGON, MONDAY, EEHUUAltY 20, 1805. seems to assume, been unknown until recently. It was known ns early at least as ItU'J that a harbor existed there, and so long ago ns April 1850, I happened to accoiniiuny an old resident of Uenton county on a visit to this buy and the adjoining country. Vessels entered there cer tainly ns early as 1853, and morn or less have oomo there every year since, Rut the trail by which the mountains in til t direction were then traversed, was exceedingly rough uud dillicult, aud it has only recently been discovered that a rond over which heavy transportation was practicable, could be made. Hut suoh n rond having been found uud partially opened during tlie pust Summer by citizens, it is now evideut that the oentrul counties of middle Oregon cnu transport their freight, a part of the year at least, through that channel much cheaper than by the old route of tlie Columbia River. If tho bay and the adjacent lands are thrown open to set tlement, the counties of Linn, Lane, Denton and n part of Polk, (the best agricultural dis trict nl the I'acilio coast) will uao it partially or wholly, as a means ol communication with the ocean.

A correspondent of tlie New York Herald, who wus with Sherman's army during its march turnugu Ueorgia, relates the lollowmg luci dents : Tho first plnco of importance sncountered was the hcnutilul llttlo town of Covington, noted, us geographers say, for its water-power and pretty women. As Ilambright'i brigade entered tho town tho Lancaster (1'ciin.) band struck up "Dixie's Land," when two hundred women rushed tu tho piazzas and doors to view the Ynnkeo invaders of whom they had so often read, bvury window nnd door swarmed with blooming war widows, stately matrons and shy virgins in homespun and coarso linen, Dut when the Imud had fiuished "Dixie" and broko off on " Ynnkeo Doodle," oh, what a retreat, The piazzas were cleared )f their beautiful in habitants, windows enme down with a slam and doors closed very abruptly, until not a fair fnci was visible. The troops, as they moved at the right shoulder sunt, the State and national col ors flouting in the silken Southern breeze, and the nicely paved streets resounding to the t'ead of the soldiers ol the Union, presented an nu posing appearance, not eoon to be obliterated from the memories of the rebellious sympathiz crs with Davis and the Dovll. The column en camped at eleven o'clock a. . near Allachovle river, distant ten miles north ol Social Circle, and halted for the day. Many little incidents ocour daily that go tu show a leader like Sherman can multo himself familiar with his soldiers, and still retain their confidence and maintain sliorooch discipline, A. Colonel commanding a regiment, who wit nessed it, iufurms mo that to-day a number uf soldiers who were tilling their canteens from i molasses barrel, near Sherman's headquarters, were quarreling over tho division of the syrup, when Sherman passing by coolly crowded in among them and dipping his finger in it, put it to Ins lips, rcinurking: " Don I crowd, boys, thero is enough for all." About six miles south of Covington we struck thu til .utntinn ut Jnugo Harris, who is a Mas sachusctls man. and owns over 200 negroes. 1 he plantation is one ol the moat extenaivo In Central Georgia for the production nf cotton and cerenls'of ull descriptions. Aa the column moved past, tho third iuigade I'irat 1). vision band struck up a quick-step, when fiom the village nf negro huts the duaky sons of Ham warmed forth in large numbers and rushed to the fences. A rich scene followed. I ho ne groes men. women and children struck oil into a dunce, swinging themselves round and twisting themselves into grotesque shapes that caueu inrin penis ui inugiuer irom mo sounery. i ri t .1 ii; while shouts of "(.lory be to do Lord, de Lin emu's hah come I" "Won't we go long will ynus !" "Ize off In glory !" "Kress do Lord!' were beard on all sides. They follnwed the troops (or hall a mile, making the air ruaound with their exclamation of gladness, until driven hack to the rear. It would be useless to deny Ihe fact that some pillaging wns perpelruted in a lurgo army like Sherman's, in a march through a country where there was found so much tn tempt the luiiey yet there wus very little canae for complaint. All nlnng Ihe hue of march Sherman s sol diers reveled in rebel scrip and foreign ourreo cy. Thu citizens, bearing of tlie approach of the "1 links, buried nearly all their valuables much of which were exhaiiicd by tho men. who rarely fuil tn discover it. Among tho large "find'' was $2,000 in gold by some members nf Ilubnrt's brigade of Carlin's division. Rebel money is so plentiful in camp that the men light their pipes with f "i0 bills and kindle their fires with $5,000 Georgia State bonds. No Party Mk.n. Dean Swift, in a passage in cue of his essays, thus felioituusly hits oil' the true character uf a " no party man." "A Max op no Pabtt. Whoever gives himself this charaoter, yoa may depend upon it, is of a party ; hut it ii such a parly as he ii ashamed to own. Foreveu while he says he is nf no party, you may observe from the whole drift of his discourse that he is plainly preju diced in favor uf one party, nnd that too, al ways tho worst. And the true reason nf hi not declaring it is that the party i unt yet strong enuogh to protect him. The justice of tin! cuuae or the gondiiae j ol the intention seems lo be wholly out of this gentleman's rthe.ne. Tlie only distinction be goes by is tn be politi cally nf no party that he. may be occasionally nf either. Others there are who nre really of a party and don't know it ; they carry on de sign!, which are kept secret from them ; and these indeed are such insignificant tools of a party that they may properly enough be said lo be of no party ; they ara machines purely pas sive, and. without any will of their own, obey the impulse of (lis wheoj that moves llisjin. Hut you shall never bear a man of true princi ples say that be is a man of no parfu : he de clares he is of a party,-if resulutely tn stand by and defend the Constitution must be called be ing ol a party. Hut the other party it seems must be divided into two sorts; those who are of a party, and those who are not of a parly at all. With the gentlemen who apply, the latter expression themselves, I would beg leave to reason thus : either they are of a party, or they nre lint ; if tluy ure, they prevaricate grossly (not tn use a more unmannerly expression) while they give out the contrary t if they are tint, they nnglit tu be ashamed nf such an in- famnus neutrality, nnd of deserting that cause which th'-v are bound in honor and conscience to defeud."

We wish to call the attention nf science. both hero and at the Kast, tn certain interesting revelations which have been made in the course nf mining enterprise in tho southern part of this State, The fossil remains, of which we are about to relate, may be found in an exten sive and valuable collection, in tho possession of the Tuolumne Historical Society, located at Sonora. The collection wns got together mainly through the energies nf Dr. Perez Suell who is now aver eighty years old, and whose wholo life has been spent Iu tho development nf American antiquities. He wns concerned in the original discoveries at the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, nnd also nlong the Mas king river. Tho venerable old man, now lin gering on the farther confines nf life, deserves tn be ranked with the most distinguish! of Ainericnn antiquaries. Some of the human fossils found in Tuolum ne ooutity are of gigantic proportion, and so well preserved that there can be nn poatilile question that they once formed parts of human Doilies, the like of whioh are not now found living on the earth. Not tlie least important of these wonderful antiquities were the remains discovered on Dlanket Creek in 1855. They were the thigh bone and skull of a human being whose stature, calculating from theso remains, must have been at least eight or nine feet high. Their ni lout testimony is that this country was once iulinhitnted by a raoc of huge people, or at least, a race, some nf whom were gigantic. The theory is reasonable. It Is no longer pos sible tu doubt that tills regit n was formerly in habited by a race of monstrous nnimals now extinct from the earth, or, at any rate, that this bus been the place of their burial. There aro In that collection, in perfeot form nnd pres ervation, tho bones of the Fossil Klephant, a creature now extinct, nud which wns twice, tho dimensions of tlie ejephant now existing. Thu tusks were over ten feet long. Here nre nlso the thigh hones nf tlm Mastodon, n smaller ani mal, but still, larger than my living creature known to naturalist. Alto, tho bones of the Great Hyena, extinct likewise, nud many mure gigantic remains, w hich our friend has collect ed in Hint region, in the course of ten years' diligent nud intelligent research. They are all taugihle w itnesses from mysterious agus, to which the mind of man runs only in In-wilder iug imagination It seems reasonable that since ntiimnls of such wondrous dimensions had existence in that long gone, insorutuhle tunc, there weru human beings constructed on a like scale of grandeur ; that tho proportions of Nature were observed then us now. That theru were the ancient craves reveal sonu cliers tint made with hands, but formed in the nwful convulsions of tho earth in tlie timet of her travail nnd trouble ; wlieu (lie crusted waves ol the sea roilej above those pleasnn valleys, and the mountains tossed their fiery spray io tlie oiounn. To prove that there were giants in those days, wu will introduce some portions of an antique gentleman, whose romains were found under li'lilo .Mountain, 1 uulumiic county, in 18' 5. The relics consist nf an immense jaw bone enliro, including ninny of the teeth, ami the two thigh bones, both perfectly preserved. They weru found on the bed rock, under Table Mountain, throu hundred and fourteen feet ver tically from tlie surface, and nearly half a mile from (he horizontal entrance uf Ihe tunnel. The thigh bones nf a person of common stature are about lilleeu inches ; aon.etimes u, lull more. Tun under jaw nf the skeleton is Gve and a half inches at thu widest place, and im mensvly strong. That of a comment sized man now is three und u half inches, at thu snuio place of measurement. Our enlightened friend Dr. Suoll. considers that the remains of which thcsTJ remains wero a part, must have been at least eight feet in stature, perhaps nearly nine feet. Here, therefore, without entering the renlms of speculation, wo have tangible proof, demonstrated by compass and rule, that a hn mnn being more than eight feet high once strode about these parts, rnd at some period cotemporary wiih tlie formation of Table Mountain he found a grave three hundred and fourteen feet deep, where he slept in profound oblivion until the stalwart miner untile upon his rocky sepulcher. Together with und near to these linman re mains were Inuud other curious antiquities : Stone implements nno probably designed na a handle for a bow, hollow on one sido to fit the weapon, nnd convex nn the oilier, to giro tlie hand a better grasp. Alan, a pipe of tine work manship, nud a scoop, or ladle, made of soap atone, and Willi a well formed handle. I'mh nbly that gigantic Nimrud had returned from tho liuut, laid down his bow nnd wo preparing his meal, when some wrnlhful Odin overthrew Table Mountain, nnd created for him tlie pro fonndest of sepulchers. A iiniill ornament, about the thickness of a half-dollar, and coin posed of the hemitita of iron nu exceedingly hard siihaliiuue was found close by. It seems tn have been designed us a sort of medal, was hollowed round the edge, to admit a thong or string. iipiI had a huh, in the center which had been refilled with red ciiiiiiilnir, probably to he used as puint. What makes this trinket worth mention, is the fact of lliu mineral's extreme hardness and the consequent difficulty of it construction with tools likely to be in tho pos Yii,ii of ravages. One other curious discov ery wa made in descending the shaft; a sub stance w hich bore a great resemblance in com mon tallow ; soft and easily penetrated by Ihe hand. It was considered animal remnin; ii oat likely tlie marrow ol a huge bone which had been preserved by tlie absence of two of Hie tlireo communis necessary lo decoiupositimi heat, moisture and atmospheric air. in pur suing their work, the miners encountered trees petrified and standing ns they had rrnwn in Ihe forest.
