Mn. BENNETT.
DEAR SR-l am a subscriber to your paper, and
am citizen of Indiana, and feel an interest in the
success Of your very valuable paper, notwithstand-
ing moral war that is waging against you by
the Wall street press of your city. At the same
time, feel some state pride, and wish you in future
to correct your commercial record, and place Mi
chigan city within the limits Of Indiana.
The north line Of Indiana extends ten miles north
Of the southern extreme Of Lake Michigan, and Mi
chigan city located the lake, and within this ten
mile strip. Of late, have noticed in the eastern
papers, in their accounts of the many thousands Of
bushels Of wheat raised in the state Of Michigan,
that the vast amounts shipped at Michigan city are
stated to be wheat raised in the state Of Michigan
have lived in this country long before the first
bushel Of wheat was shipped at Michigan city, and
will venture to say that not the first bushcl OF all
the wheat ever shipped there was raised IN the
state Of Michigan will venture to say, that IN
Laporte County, (1a.) alone. there - more wheat
raised than in any two cosnties IN Michigan. There
are the counties IL Lagrange, Elkhart. kosciusko,
1T. Joseph, Marshall, Laporte, Pater and Lake, all
wheat raising counties in north Indiana, that ship
their wheat at Michigan city, except some portion
that descends the st. Joseph river, and IS shipped
at ST. Joseph at the mouth Of that river IN Miehi-
gan. Nv reference to the map you viii perceive
that the St Joseph river takes its rise IN Michigan,
and makes southern bend into the state of Indiana,
and then runs north and cmptes into the lake IN the
sta,e of Michigan This riveri navigsble for small
steamboats, up high as this place, and navigable
for keelboats for upwards Of 100 miles above this
place: and il Michigan wheat is shipped at Mich-
gan city Ola what reason can be assigned for cross
ing the St Joseph river instead OF descendng IL 20 get
TO the lake Ialse have noticed that in the ih OF July
No. the Herald underyour commercial record, UNI
der the head Of Michigan, that you this language
awe learn that on Door Prairie" (Which is Laporte
Prairie) "aone there are three thousand sown
with wheat" ! have been through that prairie
within the last few weeks, and know that there is
fully that amount Of wheat, if not greater quanti
ty; but there not foot of that prairie but wha,
lies in Laporte county, Ia. Mr.. John ID. Stcenber
gen. the great beef opolist has purchased small
farm that prairie, and intends making il his future

with him. lie is living in Laporte county at this
time, although his family is vet in Virginia
We lIoosicrs are plain folks, but great
sticklers for our rights. You eastern men know
great deal about your aud foreign countries but
you have yet to learn great deal about the west "
you were TO attend social part in the west, you
