I presume your correspondents from this region of the country are few, and your readers would wish to know what sort of a country this Puget Sound is- Having returned but yesterday from a month's cruise upon its waters, itis with much pleasure that I speak im great praise of its advantages. As a body of water, Puget Sound and Admiralty Inlet, and adjoining waters, are exceeded by none im the world for the beauty of scenery and ease with which they can be navigated. To those who wish oorrect Maps of the country and charts of the waters, I would refer them to Wilkes, as being reliably ac, curate in every particular. Im speaking ef the dif- ferent portions of the Sound, I shall use the names given by him to the various points. The most thriving and thickly settled portion of this part of Washington Territory is Olympia, and the prairies back of it, towards the east and south. Olympia is a promising village, at the head of Budd’s inlet, which is rapidly’ rising im importance, and promices to be the mart of the Puget Sound country, ‘A settlement is also spripgin up on Henderson's inlet, called South Bay by its inhabitants. These are in Thurston cousty, in which much of the land is already taken up under the donation law. This place and Fort Nesaally,, heloeging, to the Hudson Bay Company, are in ree county, and around us thriving settlement has sprang up, many of the settlers being discharged soldiers from Company M, First Artillery. There are three saw mills in this county—one ut Fort Nesqually, one at the mouth of the Steilawam creek, and one at the mouth of the Pualup river. Pierce county is the pores land in the country, composed mostly of dry, gra- velly FB ite capable only sustaining @ few shéep, and it is fortunate forus that the twelve miles square claimed by the Puget Sound Manian ral Company is made up me of these , Bra- velly prairies. The claims selected here are usually marshes and low prairies, formed ty a receding of lakes. Thurston county is much better land, and most of baa cage prairies in it are already taken up.’ The Nesqually riser valley, lying between Thurston and Pierce counties, is very rich, but so heavily tim- bered that but few claims have been takeu on it. Tbe Pualop river forms a similar rich valley, to which the attention offsettlers is turning now. The next thriving settlement is the Duwamish country, on Elliott Bay. The Duwamish river forms a large and rich valley, which is rapidly settling up. At the mouth of the river, and head of Elliott Bay, is Sea Attle, a rising village; at the South Point, bor- dering on the bay, is the place now known as New York, which is also a ving place. There is a saw mill in Flliott Bay now in operation, and seve- ral others’in coritemplation, and one in Port Madi- son, and one in Port Orchard, and oxe in Apple Tree Cove opposite, across the Inlet, Z The next thriving settlement is on Whidby's Island, containing the most valuable farming lands on the Sound. ‘The scarcity of water on the island for stock is its only ubjection, for its numerous ex- tensive and rich prairies are otherwise highly favor- able to tuc'® cwtivation.

It occupies a very central pos...02 01. ae island, and the harbor is one of the finest in <¥¢ World, com: pletely sheltered from all the winds that Srevail ere. Whidby’s Island is fifty miles long, and from two to ten miles wide. It is noted for its deer, and is the hunting ground of the Indians{of this country It has more than a necessary supply of timber, most of which is very fine. Tbere are no streams on the island, and but few springs, which is greatly to be Eat though water can be had by digging any- where. Port Townsend is also an important settlement, and from its position must be thejport of entry, to which place the new Collector, Mr. Ely, has recom- mended to have it removed. Port Discovery extends down within two or ,three miles of the head of port Townsend, forming a peninsula of highly important and valuable land, and will be made so by its posi- tion at the entrance of Admiralty Inlet. Port Dis- covery is too deep, however, to afford good ancho- rage for vessels, Budd's harbor, a few miles farther west, between it and New Dungeness, is a much better harbor in that respect. It is called Squine Bay, to prevent confounding it with Budd’s Inlet; it is the Indian name, and certain'y preferable. At New Dungeness there are some settlers whe have taken land claims, but the majority are coopers, and men Gil in the salmon br & Bellingham Bay is another highly important settle- ment. It is a fine harbor, and has two streams emp- tying into it. The Tulummy river, which is quite a stream, forms a rich and extensive valley, on which but two men only have taken claims as yet. _It en- ters salt water by three mouths—one into Birch bay, and the other two into Bellingham bay. Whatcom is a little stream with a considerable water-power, 00 which Messrs. Peabody & Brown ure erecting some fine mills. The importance of this hay, however, is derived from its coal veins, which extend down to low water mark. Should they prove exteasive, as there is every reason to suppose, the Oregon Coal Mining Company will soon give importance to the bay. It is the genuine coal, as it is found interlaying with the genuine new red sanstone, which hus not been found any where else in Oregon or Washington territories, and which alone is of great value from its importance as a building material. There is but lite piairy bordering on the bay, but the indians report _ ee lake and extensive prairies eight or ten miles waCK. ‘These are the principal settlements in the country. No idea can be formed of the merits of this country without actually seeing it. However, thuch is still ua- known abont it. The tract of land between Hood’s ca- nal and the waters of the Sound is an unknown wilder- ness, as is also the country beyond Hood’s canal. The large tract of country lying between Bellingham Ba; and Elliott Bay, is also but imperfectly known. It is evidently mostly heavily timbered; the,Indians report large prairies between the forest and Arcade range of mountains. There are numerous little rivers, emptying into the salt water, that foros a continuous flat, making the eontiguous shore difficult to,approach with any but small craft, and enly at high water then. The land, however, is very rich, as it is most- ly alluvial deposit. During the discussion of the boundary question, those in favor of 49, argued the country north of that parallel as useless, because of its high latitude and barrenness; and the settiers at Bellingham Bay find, on the contrary that the climate is asmild as that of Maryland—that the soil increases in agricultural wealth as they go north, rendered so by the improvement of the soil, and the greater amount of rain in the summer and less in the winter. The Indians on the Tulaummy river raise ship loads of potatoes on little patches of land from ten to twenty yards square, which they work with their hands only. There is nothing of importance transpiring here. The Indians are quiet, generally, though some trouble arises from the illegitimate sale of liquor to the Indians, by sailors and small trading vessels. An old Mr. Church, an emigrant from Michigan, 3 is in a complete stagnation, and, although Jadients are trick, aud wile, and canp who disappeared about six weeks ago, has been found, and circumstances go to show that he was killed by a Kikualis Indian, named Slabhah. The settlers of Whiddy’s Island have offered a reward of twenty blankets tor Lis apprehension by the Indians. Extensive salmon fisheries are to be carried on this season. The commerce of the Sound is rapidly ims, | creas' ‘The inhabitants are deeply interested in Gov. Stevens’ movements; he has written them that he contemplates cutting out the road between this and Walla Walla, for which Congress appropriated twenty thousand dollars, in time for the emigration this fall, and will also be here to organize the terri- tory, and hold an election in_time to send the dele- fee to the next Congress. This, with the survey- ng of a railroad route across the Rocky Mountains, is an araount of work impossible to accomplish in so short a time, and should he accomplish it, he will establish an enviable reputation. The milt Toad must pass north of Mount Ranier from the Suchonish river, and is in itself regarded by the inhabitants as a herculean task. The surveying party under Capt. McClellan has not arrived yet. The candidates for the delegateship are numerous, but I think Dr, Ha- den, U. 8. A., will be the successful candidate. He is from Mississippi, and is an ultra democrat, a well educated and accomplished gentleman. Collector Moses has refused to be relieved by Mr. Eby, and will not turn over the government property until he receives orders to do so, although Eby has his ap- pointment.

His movements were ungainly and constrained, and the officer Spipcachad him, and began to poke him jocosely about the paunch, when to his surprise a hollow sound was given back. He repeated his unches, this time for an object, and found John to we @ prodigiously bard and unyielding stomach.

Steck of Flour in California, [From the San Francirce Times and Transeript, July 16.] The stock of flour in the soantry on the 1st Janu- ary of the present year, when the flour panic was at its height, was variously estiranted at from 20,000 to 35,000 bbls. We have since seen it set down for that period at 15,000 bbls. The quantity actually uncon- sumed in the country was probably between 25,000 and 30,000 bbls., but to avoid exaggeration in the estimate which we propose, of the stock now on hand, we shall set it down at the former figure, namely, 26,000 bbla. Our tables of receipts, which we have very care- fully kept since that period, show the following re- sults. In each instance cf the receipts of Chile, we have reduced the re to sacks of 200 lbs., and the Eastern to full barre! Sacks.

From an estimate which we subjoin, it will be perceived that the amount of flour shipped from Atlantic ports for this port, previous to the first of June, and which has not yet come to hand, is ‘76,507 barrels. We have no tueans of ascertaining the amount of Chile flour on the way, but it is ge- nerally believed to be small, and perliaps does not excéed 15,000 pattels.

The domestic crop of wheat is known to be large, proban one million of bushels, which would give 200,000 phis, of flour, and it is generally supposed that our milling facilities will be ample. In view of the foregoing facts, we cannot conceive what inducements are left to Eastern shippers of flour to consign to this port. Should the shipments from all sources have ceased on the Ist Juno, we would still find our flour and domestic wheat resources to be,nearly or ave equal to 300,000 bbls. of flour on the lst November ensuing.

But, as if those facts were not perhaps enough to es- tablieh 4 repotation of bad patriotism, and as if M. Bauz tapized to glorify himeelf with it, in April, 1861,he feigaed an invasion of the enemy to make me put in motiog the taoops of the province of Saybo, and come with them to this capital; but the real onject of that movement was to propore to me to overthrow the constitntion, and to diy.de between us two the absolute governmeat—thus Cestroying at one blow the hopes for liberty and indspén- dence which the Domivican people couceived when they destroyed the despotism of Hayt. My countrymen, when I heard such an astonishing and criniinal project, springing from the most sordid aud trartorous ambition, it required all the streugyh of my vill to repress she indignation which I felt, aud showing anap,arent serenity, I rejected it with all the energy of my seul. When President Baez raw all his insidious plars 99 cr mpletely overthrowa, he contented himself with giving: the graud review which took place ontside of the gule Dei Conde, and which, unaoubdtedly, had been ordersd fpr the coup d'état, which be bad propoed, Kowever, stusdore im bis projet. axa persuaded that I would never concent to his propositfons, on tho L0th of May, 1851, when I was retu:ning to the Sayho, ha at pted to surprive me, and told me that the clergy of ne Jépublic bad represented to him that they were highly satisfied with his adminivtration, sad thet, rough their infiuence, the people would make him Prestdent for lifé; and, he adied, that as I wee the mau abie to move the martes of the people,if I would covsynt, tha’ the clergy should have that Such a plan shocked me, bec rees could be none oth the ruic ot the republic, eveu thouga the people, iu the frot moment of stupor, should bed their necks to ree them sfterwarde, or though they might rise imu eviately for the defence of public liberty ; and, to eiuae him, I answered in ® very evasive manuer, 50 a5 to stop him im the march of bis usurpation, bul determined, at the same time, as I was to use the grenvest energy sad the most speedy ways, as cir- © Lunderstood that than civil war and he bed perpetrated the grestest outrages, which was fully arcertained aud proved by the denunciation of his crimes, made by the three communities to whieb he had deen sent to exercive his sacred ministry, wad by the summary information taken by the judicial committee appointed to this effect. Having taken into consideration the petition of the mort reverend and virtuous inetropolitan archbishop, to whom I caused the cummary proceedings to be commu nicated, and likewi+e the public sense of morality and convenience, and without establishing, by this act of leniency, precedent to elude the ends of justice or to subtract’ # criminal from its prosecution, whatever may ‘be the profession avd the class to which said criminal may Delonge the extraordinary powers entrusted to me by the honerab'e nstional Congress—I have de- creed, and by these presents do hereby decree, viz :— Art. 1, The priest, Francisco Viouet, a native of Bar- celowa is expelled from the Dominican Republic, leaving to the zeal and conscience of the said metropolitan arch bishop the charge of iniorming of these occurrences his Diocesan, and even the Pope, if he deem it convenient, for the respect of public morality, of the interest of society, and in honor and satisfaction of the august re- ligion which we profess. ‘Art. 2.

To tr Domintcan Narion— Mv Countrymen :=When, in December of last year, T accepted the free vote of the people which called me to thia hivh station, from which I am ruling the destinies of ovr country, | accepted it without hesitation, because T ‘was copyinced that I might and could resolve the difi- culties in which the state of public affairs bad involved the countzy, the bed consequences of which wore oasily even by the most ignorant mind, More- . With the state of things which you were witnessing with uneasiness, ond with a kind of diffidence for tas fuiure, that circums@uces were connecte?, which I kept cumstances might zequire—and if, py this inijuitous project, torzeuts of Dominican blood hiye not beeu shed, we murt thark the entire want of influeace of that nnfaithful servant of the country. Since then my cares and troubles were doubled; since then not ouly was I obliged to look for the safety of the country, mensced on the frontivrs, but also to watch the movewents of our own government, as even from that quarter ve bad us much or more to fear as from the marches of the enemies. Latterly, in January of last year, being in the province of Citao, where I was at the head of our troops waiting for the invading army which threatened in that part, the same Baez sent 1o me Brigadier Kosa, whcm [ inet ou my return to the Saybo, aud ne cn the pert of bis coustituents, that I sho Mesns go to the capitol, because there an out! ready at hand in my bebalf, aod he was taking all tue steps to put the city in a state of siege. ben I heard such @ strange story, more ingenious than credible, I asked Generel Rooa if during bis stay in the copitol he hed ever heard anything about this conspiracy, to which be answered in the negative, aad said tha only topic ot conversation was the elections just eoneluded, in which the candidates of the govern. went bad been defeated, Then, as tae Genera! was going to the Uibeo, where such rumors might have cxuscd rome disturbance among those peaceable inhavitants, 1 recommenced hiin not to mention such atories, as every- thing was a mere forgery of the same goveruisent tor its pargicular purposes Buez having desided to bring to perfection the plan of his conspiracies, thought to find accomplices among the representatives of the people, and resolved to assnesinate them iu the very hall of Congress,enéeavoring in the mean time te bring to bis party through the Secretary of War, Mr. §, BE Aybar, the worthy General of the Navy, Alex ander Acosta, sad other eupezivr officers, to whem he said he would indicate the day when they should come to con- summate tat horrible crime, ie with other mea of bis confiderce and in his secret; aud he appointed siso an individual commissioned te give the signal for the «¢ butehery.

Tne memory of the scene which took place on Good Friday of last year is still lively in our minds. You Auow, my country men, 24 wellas Ido ing self, thaton that day the chair of Uhriet was changed into a politica! tri bone, from which, probably with good intentions, and by force of those malicious suggestions the greatest eulogies were spread with full bands in of the government, aid the most terrible anathema: tered against the supposed con: to be expected, cnuned a great 1g the peo large, and especially among the individunis desigua’ public hatred—they ail came to invoke my assistance, in the bovee which I then cccupied, outside of the city, and entreated me to teke steps to seoure them from the dan- ger which was at band, The biow had been «truck, and its effects became soon known, aud its repetition wouid certainly have been tho cae of a popular commotion, especially in a coan iy like ours, where the peopleare ao submissive and obedi- ent to the ministers of the Lord, Certainly it was the most ebominuble plot they might resort to under auch clrevmestances.
