IREfcA : v..Etlitor. .THUBSDAY.... ugiisx 21, JLS73 ' IMPRESSIONS OF ASTORIA. oerwkast Tuesday we-published a con tribution from a friend upon subjects suggested on his first visit to Astoria. "Below we copy from a private letter ' -to one of our citizens, the impressions . of a correspondent at Port Macon, -North. Carolina, suggested on receiv ing the Astobian. The writer spent about eighteen months here, a few years ago, and seems not to have for jgotten his first impressiens: "I was somewhat surprised at the , isize, and appearance, and tri-weekly ' 'issue of the Astobian, and am glad , the people of Astoria have the energy to support it. The editor is no new hand at the business, I surmise, and ,, if' properly sustained will make his paper useful not only to Astoria but to society at large in Oregon. The more I think over the matter, the surer I am that Astoria is bound to , be one of the largest cities of the Pa- . cific coast, and this without detriment to the other coast cities. San Diego will grow with the Southern Pacific terminus there, for the trade of lower i .California, the Islands, as well as Southern California and Mexico, can be centered there for shipment and receipt. San Francisco, already large, is safe with its excellent harbor and the Sacramento valley behind it; and Puget Sound will also liave its large ,-city. But do not imagine that one, . two, or three large cities, will be all that the coast can support. By no . means. The population that must k and will come to settle up that whole , country, will need more large cities than even you or I can imagine to- , -day for ports and outlets on the Pacific and we will live to see part of it. "I know that at present there is fear among some of the cities that the growth of others will injure them. . Portland, I imagine, is afraid of As toria, but they do not .take the broad and comprehensive view they ought but are looking only to the present narrow interests. Astoria will grow faster than Portland in time, and -will probably grow larger, but that will not destroy Portland. It has its inland trade and will have its ship ments as before, but Astoria must be- come the sea port city. The nature J of things, and increasing population, will demand it." ' t The Government, which made - magnificent land grants to the Union Pacific Railroad, refuses to issue pat p cuts for the alternate sections donat r ed to it, in Nebraska and the Territo ries, on the ground that the road is -. not finished in first-class style, as was . required by the terms of 'its charter. !A new Commissioner must first exam- ." iue and report upon" the road, and pronounce it worthy of acceptance, before the Government will recede . "from its position. The Company have already sold a large portion of these lands, and given bonds to in- ' ' sure good title. . The way of the trans- ' gressorishard,"and the railroad mo- ' 'nopolies are beginning to find this out, e- to their sorrow. - t ' r The workingmen of London had a strike against their employers, the jfi guilders, for what, lii this country, Tr would be deemed a very trifling mat . liter. The workmen demanded an in- .u. -crease of one halfpenny an hour, b jWrhich would bring their wages up to nine pence an hour. They also de 1 jinanded the , privilege of. stopping m tiS01!-a 12 o' clock l , instea'd of 1 p. m. on Saturday. The builders.stood out . ast long as they could, and then yield vlked both points. TheEnglish penny flcj-jis equal to twocenfa il the work men were employed ten hours for gjfiv'.cdays, andfiveTTours for the sixth utday, the increase in his wages would ,- amount to only 55 cents jJer week. J. rjis wages for the weekwould thus i jqjbe egual to about 9 ,901 ., 1 It is r eporJecTthaTthe .crew of the fTfriDcerhound, seized by a Spanish man- TOfof-ar, yijiie lanbUdgcarms--tor the piracy. Wv -Religious. Colonization. , i Nineteen families of? Melmonites, 100 persons in all,, arrived in .New York last Saturday from Prussia, bound for Kansas. At the present time, colonization by sects appears, much in vogue. The first arrivals rorn Europe Qn this Continent were of distinctive religious communities, and the system seems to berSviving again. The colonization of Utah by the Mormons shows what can be done on a large scale, but their colon izing,' while valuable for its material advantages, is socially objectionable. The present most important system of religious colonization is that of the Mennonites or Russian Baptists. These people who are immigrating from Southern Russia are an indus trious community. The cause of their departure from the Czar's dominions is the new regulation which allows of no exception in lia bility to military service. The Men nonites have conscientious scruples against bearing arms. These Men nonites are not setting in a body, but they have had agents in Canada, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and Da kota, wThere they intend severally colonizing large tracts of land. Eng lish Congregationalists are forming a settlement in Minnesota, along the line of the Northern Pacific railroad. The first of this class c ame over last year, and there have been three or four arrivals of large bodies during 1873. A number of English Wes leyans, which denomination corres ponds to the Methodist Episcopal Church of America, have purchased a.large tract of land in South Caroli na. These Wesleyans have brought their pastor with them under an en gagement to remain twelve months. This system of organized colonization is beneficial to the immigrants them selves, and to the State in which they locate. The immigrants continue many of their old home associations with all the material advantages at tendant upon life in the New "World. "We should be glad to welcome simi larly organized colonization in the unoccupied districts of this State. YSTERVIIXE ITEMS. Every house in Oysterville is oc cupied. Several tourists from Portland and Salem are stopping at Oysterville. Mr. Gile has been very sick of late, but is now gradually recovering. Crellen Brothers have recently replaced the doors to their store by new ones of a substantial pattern. It is said money is quite scarce in Shoalwater bay at present, owing to the competition in the oyster trade. The numerous boats in the Bay, have been receiving fresh coats of paint, and undergoing thorough re pairs, for their winter trade. The Probate Court of Pacific county met at Oysterville on Monday last. J. B. Knapp applied for a final settlement of the estate of Dr. Kelly, deceased, which was granted. The road from Oysterville to the beach has lately undergone repairs, and although the sand placed on it is now quite soft, it will get harder with travel, and will by another sea son, be a good road. A large buoy which 'broke away from its mooring has lately been brought around from the weather beach to Oysterville, by Mr. Caruth ers and Judge Barr, at an expense to the government oi o. Mr. Caruthers, proprietor of the Pacific Hotel, has placed a new sign board over his popular-house, so that nereatter " the way taring man, though a fool need not err " in find ing a comfortable resting place. Mr. Thomas Crelbn is building a magnificent residence. It is rapidly drawing to completion. "The plaster ers are now at work. The whole will be completed in a few weeks. The house when finished will cost at least 6,000; and will be the finest in the town. a The camp meeting at Goose Point, eight miles from Oysterville, is the first meeting of the kind ever held in I Shoalwater bay. It began on Thurs day last. On Sunday about 300 per sons were present. The Methodist preachers present and conducting the meeting were the Be v. Mr. Chap man, of Kalarua: Bev. ltr.
