The Chamber of Commerce has received a letter from Colonel Gil lespie, stating that it has been de termined to build the light-house on the rock in front of the head and about one mile from shore, should it be found practicable. An examination of the rock "will be made as soon as the weather per mits. The rock is probably the est point in some respects, although Sight may not be seen so far at sea. If a cable is laid to shore and made to connect with a line to Astoria, vessels may come in, with out an' danger, to a short distance of the rocks and receive tkeir or- clcrs Dy means ol signal Hags. Tliis could not be clone so well I r ,i i t ,-, i " arum tuu uuiiu, un mu snure. ' It will be remembered that on the iirst organi'aton of the Chamber of Commerce the necessities of this light were shown in a very urgent appeal to Congress. Tliat Congress listened to our1 appeal and appropriated seventy-five thou sand dollars for the work, is cer tainly a matter of which our cham ber can well be proud. It does jiot particularly concern us wlietlter the luyht-house is built on the head or on the rock. X is -enough to know that it will soon be built. Thanks to our C J amber and our .members in Congress. A 3ritisli Subject. There s a general wir i0i?cbs on this side of the Canada lne to regard Sitting Bull as a 33riiish subject. He is a little troublesome "by nature, and is desirable 1o find someone to hold responsible for ls misdeeds. INo principle of intei national Jaw is better established than that subjeCuS of one na on may not fit out hostile exped'tlons nga'nst nations with wl ch their government is a-t peace. IT they do, their government is jesj)o sib'e, Jt was an ap)1ication of ths pr"ncl pie which enabled us to collect $10,500,000 from Great Britiau -for the damages caused by the cruise of the Alabamr. Tl c vc. .cl n)eing fitted -out :n a Britith po ; the (government became re sponsible for the fac of iis ex;s. rncc. lie makes his home m Canada, and deliberately prepares for a raid into the Uiri: d S. tcs. Our irovernment notifies -Grc t Britain that her subject :s mak" threats, and asks tnat he be boj"fl over to keep tie peace. Probably -the British government w'll direct he Canadian authorises to exer cise due precaution to prevent hos tile expeditions being organized on Canadian soil. The usages of civilized government will doubt less be regarded by Sitting Bull as an invasion of the invinoie riarhts of the noble red men. The president seems to have loomed up into considerable im portance with certam stalwart re pubcans in congress, who have Hiitbcrto treated "him with con temptnom indifference. The se cret of itns that upon the closing of t.hs lafce session of congress the .democrats came into full power in ;both houses, and can work their .own sweet will in legislation, un less the president interposes with j his veto. The stalwarts t!li3refore ibe?:in to think that it is not rood policy longer to snub his accidcncy, .and they seem really dispo.-ed to! humor hm "with the conceit that 'he is actually a member of the T2publican party. "Wanted--A. Redman. The woman who wrote the fol lowing to the Port Townsend Ar gus from Fort Leavenworth Feb ruary 19th, ought to be married to a poor white man, and .live some where in the vicinity of Cam::s prairie. If that didn't take the poetry out of her song, give her a sit with some "noble specimen of the redman" in the Indian territory. She says: Chief Joseph, the last time I saw him, was such a noble specimen of a rodman.

I wished to sec Wild Hog, who was prominent for his barbarity towards the whites whom he encountered in his flight last fall.

XiOt'.sR3)r Uoisk, Pall Coc.vac. The disastrous fire at Iicno failed to annihilate the courage and enterprise of the people of that once flourisVuig town. Al ready they have commenced the task of rebuilding. A vear hence every vestige of the calamity will probablv be gone. Turkey is always short of money. In ten days its cash will be gone, and none will come in till May. Few christians remain that are wortli fleecing, loans are extremely hard to make, and the sultan is in despair. He should take a vacation. The discovery of vast natural beds of saltpeter in Peru will en able fiorhtiii!? to be done much cheaper than formerly.
