Mr. Hurlburt has also sent a surveyor, a Mr. Austin, from Portland to Josephine county, to seek out a loute fiom this valley to the coast. Mr. Aus tin will employ his assistants iu Josephine county. This move looks as thoucli Villaid means to take possession of the coast loute we mentioned last week. It would undoubt edly suit the Northern l'acific to have a line, between Portland and San Fiancisco, entirely independent of the Central l'acific. Alinefrom this valley direct to the coast would suit the people of Jdckson county very well, too. Weather Report-July, 1631.
