COPPER ORE.-The New York Journal
Of Commerce says that "there are on The
shores of Lake Superior the mos, extern
sive beds of copper which have ever been
found in the world. They have never
been wrought until now. A couple Of
Yankees sci up an establishment for smell
ting the ore last year, near the junction of
the Wisconsin river with the Mississippi,
and the first products Of their labor APP
peared in our market last week, in three
tons Of il-shapcn pigs. They will, how
ever, do better rs they go on, and if only
sufficient PROTECTION is afforded them,
they will be able to supply the whole world,
and we are not sure but they will do it
whether projected or not"
We have seen many accounts lately in
papers, Of the immense quantities of Copper
ore in the vicinity of Lake Superior; and
when mention is made Of copper being sold
in New. York, it is Put down at once as
coming from that quarter. The copper
alluded to above, was shipped, from
Milwaukee, and was dug from the earth
near Mineral Point, the ccn,re Of one Of the
richest mineral and agricultural Terrto-
RES in the world, and " hich has a popua-
ton Of about 1000 souls. We will also
here state, for the information Of the

over 1900, 900. lbs. Of lead, copper aud
shot, will have been shipped from Milwau-

RHODE ISLAND ArFAIRs.-The fears which were
entertained of another outbreak in Rhode Island,
have disspated by the late intelli gence from
that state. 1t appears that Gov. Dorr hadissued
proclamation converting the free suffrage legisla-
ton the 4th of July Glocester, and had issued
general orders, dated June 25th, directing the milf
tary of the state who are in favor of the people S
constitution, to repair forthwith to Gocester to
wait further orders. 1t appears that Dorr forces
assembled at Ascot Hill, about 16 miles from Prov
idence, where an entrenchment had been made of
considerable strength. On the approach of Gov.
Kings forces, Dorr issued orders for dsba nding
the troops under his command, deeming his force
insufficient to Withstand the superior numbers
which were out against him. Owing to the reluc-
lance, however, of part of the troops to quit
their position, slight resistance was made 10
the approach of the charter forces; II is reported
that two or three lives were lost. 1t is also stated
that 100 Of DORIS men were taken prisoners. Gov.
Dorr himself together with fifty of his men fled in
the direction of Connecticut. A large majority OF
DORIS own men were ignovant of his flight, and
much dissatisfaction prevailed on account OF his
cowardly conduct. Many other particulars have
reached US WIFI IeSdIu 10 the UlcuhHS up anu
flight of DORIS party, but forbear to give them
at this time, they appear to be highly colored
and emanate from the friends of the charter party
The principles which the free suffrage party seek
to establish in Rhode Island, such as must and
will ultimately prevail, but Dorr is evidently badly
qualified TO be the leader of such party. His
imprudence and want of discretion render him In
capable of adopting the best means for removing
the odious restriction the elective franchise in
Rhode Island.

The editor of the milwaukee, Courier after hav-

doubtless for purpose of recruiting his vocabua

do us harm. If the editor of the Courier is
really sincere in his asseverations that ''Southport
is dead hammer" why does he manifest so
much sensitveness and toll so hard to make the
public believe il Certainly his zeal in this matter
is anything but ingenuous-his over action, exhibits
clearly narrow minded prejudice, and that he is
laboring under the influence of envy, because of the
prosperity of others
We wish it distinctly understood that we lay
nothing to the charge of Milwaukee, in consequence
OF what may have appeared in the Courier. We
look upon the attempt to injuIe Southport as an
emana.ion from mere individual, and of no part-
cuar responsibility, therefore entitled to serious
consideration. The great body of the citizens of
Milwaukee have uniformly treated Southport with
respect, and we have ever been willing to acknow-
edge their kindness. We rejoice at their prosper-
ty, and are glad to hear of their rapid advances in
wealth and population.
