The Late St0rm.--We have heard of a num-
Der of vessels lost and beached on Lake Michi-
gan, in the severe gale Of the LIST and I'd inst.
but have not learned the names of all nor the
loss sustained. The steam boat Chicago left st.
Joseph for the lower lake, for the purpose of put
ting in a new engine-when the gale came up she
endeavored to make Milwaukee, but was driven
back to st. Joseph, where she now lies upon
the beach, 1t is thought she will be got off with
out material injury. The schooner Juliet lays
high and dry upon the beach at the mouth of the
river also, without loading we believe. The
schooner Benjamin King, with full cargo for st.
Joseph, was driven over the bar at that place,
where now there is but about two feet water
she is safe in the harbor, some of the dry goods
were injured by the bursting in of the dead Lights.
A lighter was also sunk there loaded with goods,
some of which were washed upon the beach and
saved. The sloop Clarissa was driven upon the
beach at New Buffalo-the schooner Sea Serpent
and three other vessels are beached at Michigan
City, we understand. The schooner North Car
Dina is upon the beach at the mouth of the Cal
umet river. The schooncrs Martin Van Buren,
and William H. Harrison were both sunk in the
harbor at Chicago and both of which we learn
were loaded with merchandise. The latter YES
sci had on board Canal goods to the amount of
twelve or fifteen thousand dollars, belonging to
Stewards, Sanger & Co.
The North Carolina we neglected to state above
had discharged her cargo at st. Joseph previous
to the gale.
1t is rumored that dead bodies have been found
on the beach between st. Joseph and Michigan
City, which are supposed to have been either
washed overheard or from the wreck of some ves-
sci.
These are all the particulars we have been able
to learn with regard TO the disasters of the gale,
the most of which we have received verbally, and
they may be somewhat incorrect. This is said
to have been the most severe gale experienced on
Lake Michigan for some years.

Spain.-The whole country by last accounst
is in a state of anarchy and rebellion. At st.
Ildefonso, on the 18th August, at O'Clock in the
evening, a regiment of 500 provincial militia
broke into insurrection, crying "the Constitn-
ton for ever !" " Isabella H. for ever !" and
marched under arms to the palace, singing RE
COS hymn. To declarations made in a very In
solent tone were added protests of devotion to
the two queens. The particulars, much Of
them as are of any interest to our readers, may
BIO given hereafter. The most important infor.
nation, rs the proclaiming at Madrid, of tho
constitution of 1912 and the change in the Spanish
Ministry. The larger part of the country is In
possession of Don Carlos and the remainder in
that of the ultra liberals. The Courier and En-.
quirer says
| We can hardly conceive how tranquility can
be restored to Spain. The constitution of 18l2
was drawn up by the Cortcs during the confine.
ment of Ferdinand in France, and its provisions
go to establish an absolute contradiction, a re-
publican form of govoruEnent with monarchy.
Both France and England are evidently at a loss
what course to pursue IN this critical state of af-
fairs. The British Auxiliary Legion are almost
in state of mutiny. On this question it is as
serted change in the French Cabinet had nearly
ensued, M. Theirs the President of the Council
being in favour of an active Intervention and the
king opposed to it. The great difficulty no doubt,
both in France and England, is that if they once
assume an active part in this contest of parties,
they cannot foresee to what lengths it may even-
tually lead them.

Fairest of maidcns! over thy brow,
The damp Of death is gathering now,
And thy spirit soon will wing its way
To happier realm of unclouded day;
l mark thy lustreless eye of blue,
Thy check of pale and death-like hue,
And thy long dark locks that gracefully flow
Der that bosom white, as the purest snow.
My soul hath drank at thy beauty's shrine,
And my spirit droops at fate like thine,
And my pulse beats quick, and my bosom high,
When / think that thou must so shortly die
How Oft we've roved, at the silent night,
Near the ripping brook, by the soft moonlight,
And the whisperngs then would to me seem,
Like the passing thoughts of .love's young dream
We dreampt not then of thy coming death,
Of that sunken eye and that hasty breath,
OF that wasting form and that pallid cheek,
And that thrilling look, SO soft and meek;
But thus, even thus, tho purest in heart,
Whom we cherish and love, soonest depart;
And in after years, as the moments flee,
My bosom will beat when think of thee.

"Consistency is a Jecel," but we regret that
so little attention is paid these days to such val.
liable gems. Col. Webb, supported Jackson and
opposed the U. S. Bank in ls3O-he afterwards
came over in favor of the Bank and still support
ed Jackson--but finding that would not work
very well he came out in 81 and bitterly opposed
both Jackson and Van Buren-but after it was
ascertained that they were elected he said in his
paper, "nop that Jackson has been reelected wc
are glad that Van Buren, has been elected eith
him" Now he is the most bitter and uncompro-
missing opponent to Martin Van Buren, in thu

1--WE were in error last week in stating that
Gen. Harrison voted in the Ohio Senate of 1920,
for the sale of services of prisoners for debt to
the highest bidder 1t was confined to criminal
cases exclusively, as the proceedings of the SEN
ate published in our paper last week themselves
show. He voted for the sale of prisoners to the
highest bidder for the purpose of liqudating fines

the matter last week-still we never can support

O7It is rather amusing to us newcomers to
Michigan. to observe the clashing views among
men of the same party principles, in relation to
the decision of the late state convention on the
subject of admission into the Union. While the
side which favors our view of the matter, regre
the decision as the worst thing that could be done
detrimental to the best interests of the state, the
other esteem it a most gratifying result, in which
''the self respected and independent spirited char
acter of Michigan, is triumphnntly vindc atod ~

band together tho ambitious from all standards,

1t is not little remarkable, that if the effort
am accused Of having made to subject men to
sale for the non-payment of their debts had been
successful, might, from the state of ma pecu-
MARY circumstances at that time, haze been the

% We extract the above from published let
ter from Gen. Harrison, in reply to John I'll.
Peasants on the accusation relative to selling
debtors into slavery. He pronounces the charge
ga vile calumny," and in a previous paragraph
refers to the journals of the Senate of the United
States, I'd session, 10Th congress, page 235, for
the record, where he "was one of a committee
which reported bill to abolish Imprisonment for
debt !" stating, that he " advocated its adoption
and on its passage, voted in its favor'-at LIST
session Goth congress. He explains in regard
to his vote in the Senate of Ohio, that :" it had
respect only to the mode of disposing of public
offenders, who had been found guilty by jury
of their fellow citizens of some crime against the
laws of their state"
After having given currency tothe accusation,
it would not accord with our views of justice, &c

and thirdly, to fill the hole with finely pull
verised, rich earth, not manure, shaking
it in, in small quantities, and packing it
closely, but gently about the roots, SO as to
leave them in their natural position in the
