It is thought that tho burning of tho surveyor-general's office and the land offico at Olympia last W ednes day, with all tho papers contained therein, may cause considerable liti gation. Water street from Aug. Daniel son's westward, is one carpenter shop. Building after building is being erect ed. Work on tho new dock seems to be at a stand still, scarcity of lumber being the apparent cause. W. L. Garrelson, the ticket clerk at the 0.

Dave Lavin who was charged with manslaughter, in having caused the death of Johnstone Robertson, at "Victoria, was tried Tuesday and ac quitted. The judge did not liko this and addressed tho jury ns follows "Gentlemen of the jury, mind, that is your verdict, not mine. On your conscience will rest tho stigma of re turning such a disgraceful verdict and one at variance with the evidence on which you have sworn to find the guilt or innocence of the prisoner. Manyrepetitions of such conduct as as j'ours will make a trial by jury horrible farce, and tho city of Victor la, which you inhabit, ono of imraor ality and crime. Go, I have nothing moro to say to you." Turning to Lavin, the judge said: "Go alon and sand bag some of tho jurors." Iiaces, accH, tact's, at Prael Bros.

Projected Line of Steamships Prom New York to Astoria. irom a locture dolivered by Gen. Dunbar, before the Traveler's Club of 2few York on tho history of the gold discoveries in California, wo take tho following: "The idea of a line of American mail stoamers from Panama up the Pacific coast, terminating at Astoria, originated with -J. 3L Shivoly, a plain sort of man who at an early date had drifted from Massachusetts or Con necticut across tho continent and fin ally stopped at Astoria, and there be came post master. Shively returned to the Atlantic states in 1845, and when in Washington he threw out the idea of this line of 'steamers. At this time the controversy between Great Britain and the United States respect ing the northwestern boundary had become an exciting topic, both in and out of congress. Our government was exceedingly anxious to throw em igration into Oregon, and it is possi ble that Shively's idea of a line of steamers from Panama up the Pacific coast may have been regarded favor ably by the administration. Whether this be trre or net, President Polk, in the latter part uf 1845, took decid ed measures to establish a means of conveyance to Oregon that should be available to emigrants. In furtherance of this project the president requested .1. W. Woodward of N. Y. to come to Washington and assist him with his information and counsels. Woodward was then en gaged in the Baltic trade, and he had frequont and large consignment of immigrants from Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Prussia. Woodward at once complied with the president's re quests; and it will appear ultimately that the organization of tho Pacific Mail line of 1855, as it now exists, or I iither its foundation, is mainly due to the efforts of this gentleman. I give Woodward's own statement of tho matter: 'Polk received me with great eordiality, and oxplaincd to mo what the government desired to accomplish. At this interview the overland route and the plan of send ing emigrants around tho Horn were discussed and abandoned, and the Isthmus route "was suggested. This proposition struck Polk favorably,and he requested mo to examine and re port. The Isthmus of Darien was then unknown, one or two small ves- els used to go once or twice a year to Chagres, then au uninviting place. I ecured all the books of travel I could nd in relation to that region. 1 had the good fortune to meet one Nelson, resident of Panama, then acting American Consul, innn alt these sources I became satisfied that the Isthmus route was practicable; and at length I was able to present to Presi dent Polk a plan which I deemed feasible. It was to prepare and send out s number of small boats sufficient to take a shipment of emigrants and their luggage on their arrival at Cha gros, aud proceed up the Chagres river as far as Crucis,and then by pack mules across the Isthmus to Panama, thence they were to be taken by vessel to Oregon. The vessels to be employed, both on tho Atlantic aud the Pacific, were to be either sailing or steam ves sels, as the government might deter mine. I made the estimates for the plan aud submitted a report to the president. He seemed highly pleased at the solution of a problem that promised the accomplishment of the object which the government had in view, and took steps to obtain ininlo diately from congress, which was then in session, tho i.ecessary appropria tion. The president placed Senator Niles and myself in charge of the bus iness. The excitoment relative to the Oregon boundary question continued, and pending the necessary delay in obtaining an appropriation, l was busy in collecting facts bearing upon the subject of tbis transit line to Ore gon and the Pacific coast trade. Ev erything respecting the proposed transit line was progressing favorably when tho ultimatum of the British Government was submitted to tho president and senate, and accepted. This at once obviated any necessity for the speedy settlement cf Oregon, and as a government matter the pro posed transit line was dropped. Bnt the information which I had acquired made it appear that by ob taining subsidies from the government for carrying the mails a profitable trade could be built up on the Pacific coast, rendering the line remunera tive. Tho president and others know ing that I had been at considerable expense, advised me get a bill through congress giving such a sum for carry mg tne mails as in my judgment ap peared necessary, and thoy kindly volunteered their influence to carry such a measure; and after considera bio hesitation I concluded to have the matter take that shape. At this time Colonel Sloo was applying for a grant of subsidies to carry the mail by steam from New York to Savannah, and E K. Collins was also endeavoring to get a bill through congress authoriz insr a lino of steamers between New York and Liverpool. On converain with Col. Sloo I found him apprehen sivc that my bill for carying the mail to Chagres, via Havana, would inter .fere with his New Orleans project, so it was agreed that he should amend his bill and propose to run a branch line from Havana to Chagros. Thence I was to take the mails across the Isthmu3 and to Oregon, my bill was therefore framed accordingly, coTer-JFto ing the Pacific route. All these bills, namely: Collins', Sloo's and my own, were passed on the last day of the ses sion of 184G, but by some hocus pocus which I could never understand my name wa3 left out of the engrossed bill, and the secretary of the navy decided that he must advertise for proposals, he accordingly advertised for bids to carry tho mail twice a month from Panama to Astoria, touch ing at Eealigo in Central America, Mazatlan and Monterey, in Mexico. There was no such place as San Fran cisco at that time. I put in a bid of $300,000 per annum for sidewheel steamers, and an associate bid of $150,000 per annum .for propellers. One Arnold Harris blundered into a bid of $200,000, these were the only bids; tho contracts were awarded to my associate, who had bid $150,000, but with such conditions not embrac ed in the 'advertisement as rendered it wholly inadmissable, and the bid was withdrawn, tho secretary refusing to modify tho extraordinary require ments. The contract was immediate ly awarded to Harris as the next low est bidder. Harris hawked his con tract about New Yprk for several months; but little was known about the proposed route, and responsible men manifested no great confidence in the enterprise. General Armstrong our consul at Liverpool, and a rela tive of Harm, now appeared and in duced William H. Aspinwall to take the matter into consideration. By the terms of the advertisement the person to whom the con tract might be awarded was required to give security for its performance within thirty days, more than six months had now passed, and not tho first step had been takon to ward carrying out the contract Under the circumstances I took the persons who were interested with me, and who were ready to givo the re quired security, to Washington, and made formal demand upon Secretary Mason that the contract should be awarded to me; this had tho effect of taking ABpinwall, Armstrong and Harris to Washington, and of obtain ing important concessions from the ecretaryof war, and changing the whole scope of the contract. Aspin wall then assumod the contract for Harris. After all this there was a legal contest between tho sovoral per sons mentioned; bnt as this law suit is not historically important I say nothing about it. Tho Pacific Mail Steamship con tract, as finally tacen by Aspinwall called for three side-wheel steamers, the first of which should sail for tho Facific in October, 1848. The Cal'ifor- ia was tho first steamer completed, and sho sailed at the stipulated time. The Oregon followed, and lastly the Panama. The news f the discovery of gold in California reached New York in December, 1848, nearly two months after the steamship California had sailed for tho PaciGc, and the first steamer outside the Pacific mail line sailed from New York for tho Isthmus on the 23d day of December, 1848. 1 was one of tho iag3enicn. We arrived in Panama a few days be fore the steamer California, which had doubled the Horn; with eix hundred others, I took passage in her, and we reached San Francisco on tho 23th of February, 1849. It is scarcely neces sary to say that tho PaciGc Mail steamships were built and dis patched to tho Pacific just in season to take the first rush of passengers to California. The business which this line has since transacted, and its dm dends are unparalled. 1 have now described tho remark able culmination of events antecedent to tho discovery of gold in California: which had so important a bearing on the developments of the great dis covery. J3iit it must be borne m mind that any knowledge or belief that precious metals existod and mignt be touna in ualuorma itad no part in the auspicious events to which 1 have drawn your attention.

They atHI b fur nished on application. Capital Idea. A project is on foot for tho con for struction of a narrow gauge road from Ilwaco to Oyaterville, or some point on Shoalwater bay, and lists arc being circulated for the purpose of securing money subscriptions to aid in carrying on tho work. The terms upon which theso subscriptions are to bo paid are such as prevent the possibility of any chicanery on the part of the recipients. The men engaged in pushing this euterise are I. W. Case, Jacob Kamm and L. A. Loomis. No better guaran tee could be had of tho 3peedy con struction and ultimato success of the road. Messrs. Caso and Kamm aro men of ample means and great experi ence and ability and whenover they interest themselves in an enterprise its success is assured. L. A. Loomis is too well known in this section to re quire any laudation. To his enter prise and intelligent faith in the future of this county Is duo the ever increas ing prosperity wo now enjoy. Ho is largely interested in three transporta tion lines in this county, and the peo ple know that he means business. As to the need and benefit of such a lino there can bo no doubt, and tho proba bilities arc that it will be self-supporting if not a paying investment from tho outsat. At auy Kite, it will pay the citizens of this cnuntv and es pecially those living on this peninsula. Pacific Journal. Accidental Salmon Prooogatlon. About two years ago tho Missouri and upper Mississippi rivers were stocked with salmon. During tho last season salmon iu various stages of development up to full size were caught in these rivers: and tho fre quent finding of largo fun litis eauied no little astonishment to tnose who regard the stocking of two years ago as the original beginning of the spe cies iu that locality, the matter be coming a matter of newspaper com ment A corresDondent, residing at Oregon, Missouri, recalls to our rec-. ollection the fact that soma eight or nine years ago, & fish train, bound for California, under the auspices of the Fish Commission, was wrecked on the Elkhorn, near the confluence uf that river with the Platte, in Nebras ka. Our correspondent happened li be a witness of thi3 accident, and con firms tho statement published at tho time, that millions of small hsh and fertilized egg3 were in this xrny lost (as it was thought) iu the waters of the Llkhorn.
