CIscINNArI.--Fifty years ago this day, as
we learn from the party, about sixty -four per-
sons landed at the junction of the Ohio and
Muslungum river, under the command Of Gen.
Rufus Putnam, and commenced the settlement
of the state of Ohio, in the presence of nearly
three hundred Indians, who had assembled on
:he opposite side of the Muskingum. The
landing took place ut 10 o'clock of bright and
beautiful spring morning. What change
have these fifty years produced in Ohio, its
dark forests have been swept away before the
axe of the settler, farms, towns and cities now
occupy the site Of the wigwam, the steam
boat has taken the place ofthe canoe, and a
population of a million and upwards exist on the
same territory that supplied but scanty sub
sistance to few hundreds of rowing savages--
such rapid an entire change is without o pre-
cedent in the history of the world.

REmNIscENcE.--On the 9TH Of August, 1870,
the first ship that ever naIgated Lake Erie,
left her moorings at Niagara, having on board
thirty-four men, belonging to La Sale and
Father Louis Hennipin's exploring and trading
expedition. The barque was called the Crit
fin, of about so tons, and carried five small
guns. On the 18th she reached Detroit river,
and on the 22d, Lake Huron. After encoun-
tering violent. storm, and stopping TO repair
and trade with the natives for few days at
Mackinaw, the expedition reached Green Bay
ON the eth of October, La Sale sent back the
barque to Niagara loaded with fnrs and skins,
and manned BY a pilot and five men, What
course they steered, or how they perished, was
never known.-Cleve. Gazette.

FRrGHr AND VALoR.--We understand that
the discovery of the Bunker Hill stranded on
Long Point, caused q great commotion among
the Canadians in the vicinity. The alarm Of
vatriot invasion was spread about the country;
expresses were sent to Toronto, the militia
were called out, and every available man was
armed to repel the anticipated attack. Detach-
ments were sent from the main shore to recon-
noitre the formidable wreck; the clerk Of the
boat, who was sent to Buffalo to convey the
news of her situation, saw abundance of mar
tial preparation on his route. Since Hthe
battle ofthe kegs" or at least since the burn.
ing of the Caroline, it is probable that SO much
gallantry and bravery have not been displayed.
Should any colonel ofmilitia succeed in taking
the stranded boat, it is probable that he will
earn knights spurs by the achievement; and
the subordinate who shall set FIRE to the wreck
will probably be recommended to the royal fa--
yor.--W.

& Az McDRET The young lady charged
with being accessory to the murder Of DR..
Dalton, in Knoxville, Illinois, was tried by
writ Of habeas corpus, before Judge Thomas,
in Springfield, on Saturday last, in the court
room, and discharged.
The circumstances that led to the murder
Of Dalton, and the appearance Of the young,
beautiful and interesting prisoner, excited a
deep interest on the part Of the people in her
behalf, We have been informed that DR.. Dal-
ton, some time last winter, called on this young
lady, and informed her that one of her female
acquaintances, in the country, was sick and was
anxious to see her, and said, as he was COM
PEELED to visit her friend, he being her physi-
clan, he would give her seat in the sleigh if
she wished to 90. The doctor being man offa-
mily aud good character. she accepted with the
offer. They went. The doctor, after driving
a few miles, informed the young lady that her
friend wasnot sick, and then attempted to CON-
nit rape; with drawn dagger he threatened
her life, unless she would submit to his brutal
proposition. Her screams frightened the hor-
ses; he sprung out ofthe sleigh for the purpose
Of tieing the horses, but they were unmanage-
able; she quit the sleigh, and run considera-
BILE distance through the snow, to the nearest
house, and thus made her escape.
The doctor was arrested, and bound over in
the sum Of $4,000 for his appearance at court.
This done, he endeayorcd to create the impress
sion that the girl did not possess good char
acter; this caused her brother, it is said to ut
ter threats against him. And shortly after,
DIR. Dalton, whilst standing opposite to the
young lady's fathers house, was shot IN the
back from window. Her brother, Silas A..
Rude, was apprehended on suspicion and is
now IN custody awaiting his trial. fiis sister
was also arrested, and her case disposed of as
above stated. t
The discharge af tho young lady brought
forth, from spectators, an involuntary shout Of
joy. But to add to the interest of all these
circumstances, few hours after her release
she was united by the bands of matrimony to
gentleman to whom she had been engaged
for year ormore. "Alls well that ends WELL -

TRAvELLINa.--As an evidence Of the grow
ing Importance of this section of country we
take pleasure in noticing the establishment, OF
two daily lines of stages from this place to the
country above. These lines of stages are con-
nected with lines Of boats upon the upper Mau-
NEE at Providence, running from thence to
Fort Wayne. From our own observation, we
have NJ doubt but both lines are amply sup
ported. The arrangements were never better
than at present, for the transportation of pas
sengers and goods to the far west, through this
avenue. The upper Maumee is in fine stage
of water, and boats are daily running to Fort
Wayne. A line of packets is established from
that place to Logansport daily. Persons ta-
king the boats that run directly from Buffalo to
Maumee and Perrysburg, can be forwarded by
the above lines without loss of time.

From the National Intelligencer of May IS.
WHIG NATIONAL CONVENTION.

1t having been proposed by various meetings
of the opponents ofthe present Administration,
in different parts of the United States, that
there should be a general meeting of Dele
gates from all the States, for the purpose of
agreeing on and recommending suitable per-
sons as candidates for the offices of President
and Vice President at the next election and a
desire having been expressed by several ofsaid
meetings, that the time and place for holding
such meeting should be fixed by the opposition
members ofCongress, those members have au-
thorized US to announce that, in compliance
with what thus appears to be the general wish,
they have met and consulted on the subject,
and after due consideration and reflection, they
are of the opinion that the borough Of Harris
burg, in the State of Pennsylvania, Is a suita-
BILE place, and the first Wednesday in Decem-
Der, 1885, proper time for holding general
meeting for the purposes above mentioned, to
be composed of delegates from all the States,
in proportion to their representation in the two
Houses OF Congress.
The time aud place of the Wing National
Convention to nominate Candidates for the Pre-
sidency and wee Presidency are thus definitely
fixed. We could have wished an earlier day
but it is no occasion TO array individual
opinions or preferences, in opposition to what
has been determined upon, by intelligent coad-
juters, in position calculated to- extend their
views over the whole ground.
1t is now for the Wings to determine, wheth-
er they will continue the canvass between Gen.
Harrison and Mr.. Clay, or suspend it, for at
least twelve months. 1t seems to me there is
rest without risk in suspension. This is an
important subject, upon which the approach
ing Ohio Convention should express an opn-
ion.
There isl general impression, that distant
day for the meeting of the Convention, was a
measure of Mr.. Clay's friends, at Washington.
A letter Of May IA, says, they ,oere obstinate
in ddhering to the earliest day; they believed q
Convention no,o assembled, auould nominate him. "
IL was those who did not wish that Mr.. Clay
should be now nominated, that postponed the
meeting Of the Conventional Cincinnati Ga
zette.

WASHINGTON MAY 14.--The Pennsylvania
United States Bank, it is stated will accede to
the New York proposition to establish here a
branch OF that institution, under the New York
general banking law, and will establish the

1t is stated on good authority here, that the
United States bank has offered to the Secreta-

institution owes the Government to the full
amount.

SILK CuLTuRE.--While associations and
companies for the growth of the Mulberry, and
the manufacture Of silks, are fast forming in
all parts of the United States, it is subject of
regret that no enterprizeof that kind has oc-
cuped the attention ofthe people IN this i'm
mediate vicinity. That large portion of the
land around us is admirably fitted for the
growth ofthe Mulberry, is fully proved by the
la.ge quantities of the trees now growing in
digenously on our new lands. The low price
at which any quantity fthe best land can be
purchased in desirable situations, places the
silk culture on footing decidedly superior to
that which it holds in the eastern states, and
in fact, tantamount to handsome premium to
the silk culturist. When it is recollected that
the demand for raw or manufactured silk is
daily increasing' and that silk is one of the
heaviest of our imports, certainly there can be
no want of encouragement to the enterprise.
We propose the formation of company, in
this place, with capital sufficient to give the
business fair trial.
