Letter From Olympla. The following '.-letter, dated Olympia, W. T., July 24th, 1863, received by, a gentleman of this city from a former well known resident of Albany, although not intended for publication, contains so much information , in relation to Wash ington Territory and other matters of interest, that we publish it in full : I arrived here several days ago, and havo kept myself pretty busy in hunting a hole to jump in. It required but a short time aFtcr my arrival here to learn that Olympia would not do for mc, there being no life hero except that which whisky can produce. It i the Terri torial capital, and the center for the aristocracy. I. havo counted six build ings in course of. election, and abjut as ukiuj, mua w uo tue work as it takes shingles to cover them.

I extended my. . travels by steamer to bteslaeoom, a distance of thirty miles down the Sound. I found this once very thriving town at the pres- they draw too much water to run up the river. I had about made up my miud that it would be useless for me to wait here for the good time to come, and had made arrangements to take the back track for the Columbia river I could return to Westport, and get something to do there sure. Cut before taking this final step, I proposed to Johu - Leonard (who has accompanied me in' all my travels, aud has shown commendable grit, by de claring he would stay righ here till better times and the terminus is found,) that we take a trip over to Tumwater, two miles' back of Olympia, and what we s-iw and did over thre will be the sub ject of another letter.

The result of Doutwell's administration appears in a proposition from a German house at Frankfort to loan the Govern ment 5300,000,000 at 5 per cent., which the Secretary is, of course, obliged to decline. lie thinks we may within a year borrow all the money we want at four or four and one-half per cent., and he will probably recommend such a loan next winter, fpr the purpose of pay ing off the five-twenties. A private letter from a well advised source says Lngland expresses the opinion - that a loan at four and one-half per cent., could easily be negotiated within six months. V ork Resumed. The Oreqenian says the West Side Railroad Company have resumed their work of grading, with about fifty men. This force is. to be increased as soon as laborers can be pro cured. Arrangemenrs have been made to procure twenty miles of rails when ever the Company shall grade and lay the ties for that distance. The prreat strusirle now coinsr on in California is between the Democracy and Chinese, to determine which shall be the ruling race." The Chinamen' remain pas sively indifferent as ,they feel sure of success without an effort, but the poor Democracy are nervous from fear and doubt. Nevada Gazette. ' .

Harris, the highwayman shot at San Francisco, recently, was ShotweTL : told, to the decline iu tha prica of lum ber. There being no demand for assist ance from outsiders, I once wiore em barked for a more genial clime, aud my next stopping jdaee was Seattle, thirty miles still lower dowu the Sound. This place has a most magnifiee.it harbor, and the town looks very pretty. There is a monster saw-mill, just completed,-light on the wharf, and two large vessels from 'Frisco were taking in lumber. I found j things lively here. I should judge that J there are not more than fivo hnnil.i liquor saloons here, and perhaps about that number of squaws parading the streets some in gorgeous attire, while others were not quite so narticnlar. I met at Seattle many old friends. Among fhe number was Rogers, who looked twenty years younger than when we used to know him I didn't notice scarcely a grey hair. He obtaiued work on the saw-mill, and when it was com pleted, he started a hotel, and if ho told the truth, was doing well enough ; but getting tired of the thiug, he sqM out and went'off prospecting for a ranch, and found it twelve miles away a splendid I thincr. I saw all the Woodses. tieman nrst got work on the big suw uiill, aud when it waj i completed, he went to paddling his own canoe, and ho.s had work most of tho time. Billy Woods is head sawyer in the big saw mill, aod gets S70 . a month and found. The Doc. is screw tenders I also, saw Jim Payne, who first ob tained work on the saw mill, and wr-en it was completed, started out on his own hook, and has done quite well. Io told me that in three weeks h3 , would start for Salem, for, his family, and that he intends making Seattle his home. There is a female Seminary here, and Payne has accepted the offer of a large house, free of rent, and boards the scholars at 63 50 each a week. I saw Denny, who gets 570 , a month tand board, as engineer on a wee bit of a steamer. The price of lumber regulates busi ness i here, like wheat at- Albany ; and when the foreign demand for lumber de clines, as it has for the past two months, there will be no demand for outside. mechanics. I'll bet there are five hundred men on the Sound that are idle.

Wixmx, .See' v. there is an outside demand for any kind of labor in this Territory. There seems to be work for the old settlers, but tl e hotels, stages and steamers are crowded with new ones ready to jump at anything. Seattle, like all others towns on the Sound, holds real estate very high on account of the expected terminus. I spent a part of two days trying to find some one who knew where Tacoma was. One said it was ten miles below Olympia. So I went to the stable to get a horse to ride down there, when the hostler informed me that tho town was located thirteen-miles below Steilacooro. That information flattened me out I don't wish to see Tacoma. It must be some chuck hole where nobody goes. The steamers do not stop there, neither is there a post office.. If I had possessed $1,000, I would have united with two others at Seattle in building .a 6mall steamboat to run up White river, which ' is navigable sixty miles, and. is settled all. the way up..

I Telegraphic Summary. New York, July 26. The Herald 's Madrid special says the last Carlist out break, so long expected, has occurred. Five hundred well drilled troops, under Sabariegos, have taken the field near Conrad. A battle took place in the morning, in which it is reported tho Carlist party lost one hundred killed and wounded. Only three Government officers were killed. Near the town of Manzaneres. a stron party of Carlists made some demonstra? tion. They subsequently succeeded in intercepting railroad trains and cuttin" telegraph wires. J The latest accounts state that 4,000 Carlists arrived in the Province of La Mancha. Government troops have been dispatched to the scene of action. - The agitation is general throughout the whole country. The people are very much excited over the late news. No further hostilities have yet been reported, although it is feared a general uprising may be expected all over Spain, now that Don Carlos has ercorl J frontier and opened communication with Ins numerous partisans. - The Unionist has the following granhs : The Celestials are makin ft Oregon City for the passage of the Railroad.

The Russian River Flog relates the following remarkable bird story : We are informed by Mr. John Mulli gan and he will vouch for the accuracy of the story that about a month ago, a small bird, a 1 i net, took . possession of a large-toy windmill which whirls as an ornament on the top of his tin shop. The mill is made nearly in the shape of an e. is about two leet hi-h, and is placed vertically. While it was still, the bird entered between the wings or fans, and commenced operations on a nest j laid eggs and finally hatched them on the whirl. Those acquainted with this part of the State know that the wind is almost constantly blowing, except early in the morning, so that our windmill was not often at rest. Now that her four birds were hatched, how could she get them out ? She soon solved the question. Out she flew, and quickly returned with a long string. Watching her chance, in she went with one end of the string, and the other naturally became entangled around the shaft, and soon the machinery carce to a dead lock. Rejoicing at hor success, she triumphantly departed,takin" along her brood. j . . Wasn't there a little salt on the end of that string f . Xliac Chares !
