MlcRoscoPIc IsvEsTioATIoYs-A curious
paper has been lately before The Academy Of
Natural Science, by NJ. Mandl, entitled Micro
ecoplc Investigations 1s to the nature Of the
tartar ard mucous coverings Of the tongue and
teeth" five are to believe N. Mandl's micro
scope, the human mouth is perfect cemetery,
where millions Of nfueorig find their cata-
combs. Leuvenheucs htd already told US tha:
The human mouth was peoplcd with n!uso-y
animals, and that the mucous secretion en- its
surface served as their ocean; but it remained
COR NJ Mand to discover that the tartar which
covers the teeth is formed Of the mountains Of
the dead of these inhabitants ofthis ocean. M.
Mandl knows not TO what cause to attribute the
origin of these microscopic animals, but he has
sscertained, he says, tha, they are most numer.
rus in persons who live o, rpare diet, and that
they are instantly killed by ardent spirits.

and vet what is Lake Erie nowa Nhe N.
York canal brings it within few DAYS of
New York city for a market, its shores
covered with towns and cities, and the
country is filled with enterprising and in
teliigent Ieople. And when three-fourths
of mile is canaled at ST.. Marys, we
shall be but three or four days further
from New York than Lake Erie is.
But we have inducements TO invite set
tiers here which Lake Erie had not. The
fisheries and the mines. But, alb! The
mines. Report says its failure. Not so
fast, if you please. Those who left the
country disappointed, | have said, left il
too soon. The rains have ceased and the
country is becoming dry, and the Miners
have just found the ore and the pure copper
in such masses that expectation has sud-
denly raised from dependency TO its tiptoe
gait and is marching off in triumph. Ten
square leagues have been claimed Of Isle
Royal; at Copper harbor report says several
tons Of rich ore has been blown out Of the
rock in few days, and some tons of il
shipped to Detroit. On the Antanogan.
where it was thought no ore could be found,
new and rich digglngs have been discover
cd, and on Eagle River, and in several
other places. the ore has been found. The
ore found is said TO be worth from 20 to GO
per cent.
If these diggings go on in this style We
shall soon see the tide ofimigra,ion setting
this way, and the shores Of this Lake will
settle much faster than did those of Lake
Erie. And, farther, what was Lake Mich.
igan ten years agoa Why. just what this
is now Except the war; newly bought
from the Indians, some of whom were in
hostile array aga INST the country. And,
now, what is. Lake Michigan? Almost
like Lake Erie. And will not this grea
inland sea attract the enterprising immi
grafton. Surely it will.

LAKE SUPERIOR,


THE CoUNTRY-CorPER-AND PROS.
rEcTs.--As this country has recently been
opened to white immigration and enterprise
the public are naturally inqusitive as to its
resources and future prospects. -This in
quiry will have become more exciting by
the time this reaches you, on account of the
return Of several Of the miners, who, not
finding The country and the copper as they
had ianced them TO be, have, l am told,
left t,loaded with disappointment, and may
have possibly circulated an evil report
against this goodly land, while if they had
remained until this time they would have
told different story.
Tie inquiry is often made, "wil this
country ever be settled, will the soil Justify
an attempt at cultivation" &C. In answer
TO this | will say that the soil on the south
of Lake Superior is fully equal to the soil
on the south of Lake Erie. The timber.
underbrush and heritage indicate even a
stronger and better soil. The shores Of the
two Lakes resemble each other very much
and about the same height. mostly OF caved

Anecdote Of the Battle of Chippeua.-
A CORE sponl lent has furnished, us with
the following anecdote illustrative Of on in
cident which took place between Gen. Nc
Mel and his Adjutant during the late war.
On the Keen muster field. while tho
troops were passing in review before Gen.
Nc Mel, stranger pressed through the
crowd and saluted the General, who in
stantly recognized him Us an old companion
at arms. This stranger was Col. Crawford
of Putney, VI. General Nc NeiI's Adjutant
at the battles o. Chippewa and Bridgewater.
After General McNiel returned TO his
quarters he told the following anecdote Of
Crawford
"While the eleventh regiment was ad-
vancing stood a momont near TO Crawford
giving him orders when amusket ball FROM
the enemy passed through his ha. and tore
up handkerchief which was snugly stow
ed in the top. Without mnding It at all or
changing countenance in the least Crawford
cody picked up the shattered handkerchief
and replaced it on his head, remarking will,
smile, I'VE will save the pieces and dar-
ted away in The face of the foe TO carry his
orders.
1t is well known that in one Of NapoFe-
on's campaigns he had occasion fora shor,
dispatch to be drawn upon the field Some
one was called for who could write; and a
drummer came forward from the ranks and
executed the writing While it was not yet
day, cannon-ball from the enemy struck
SO near The drummer as TO throw some earth
upon the paper. 'lt will save the necessity
of sand, General observed the drummer
coolly. Bonaparte wus so struck with tho
bravery Of the man that he singled him on.
from the ranks and promoted him step bv
step TO n fed-marshal of France. Yet we
do not see that the courage and GOODNESS Of
the Frenchman was at AL superior 10 what
was produced in Yankee land and exhibited

ford Of Puiney.-TChester rep.

very useful in crowded theatre or con-

poured over her bows and deluged the decks.
From the bosom of the laboring craft issued
the yell of mingled agony and terror, from
eight hundred souls confined below, which
mingled with the blast and must have been
heard far inland by the distant cottager, who
might fancy that thousand fends were shrie-
king in the elemental strife above.

The cables were severed at blow; the

round before the blast and under the impulse
of the hurricane, dashed madly towards tho

dollars, whilst the British cruiser was con-

some two hundred thousand dollars per an

KENTUCKY AND OHIO-JURIS-
lDICTION.

The Supreme'Courl 10 this county at
the asst term, in Increase oof 'Eckert'ys.
Florer and others, decided that the Ken
lucky jurisdiction on the Ohio river, did
not extend TO steam boats made fast by
a line TO the Ohio shore, and that AIKEN.
lucky officer serving process on o boat
so situated, was O trespasser. The
Lexington ihteIIigencer Temaiks thus
upon the decision:
1.-THE principles upon which this de-
cison was based do not appear, We
suppose, however, that the exclusive ju-
risdiclon claimed BY Ohio, is founded
on the fact Of the boat being made fast
to he'Ohio Skore,' which is construed by
the Court as bringing the boat for all
legal purposes upon terra, frmG. The
Ohio river, so far as itwaShes her Dor
ders, actually beIougsto kentucky, not
only TO the centre oI the stream, but to
The opposite shore. Kentucky, howev-
or, has seen fr TO yield concurrent juris
dicion over offences committed Upon the
river to Ohio, The claim to exclusive
| Jurisdiction, therefore, set up bv the
Courts Of Ohio, is founded upon mere
Qurbbe, which cannot be sustained"
There was such decson in our
Court, although we know not whv the
jurisdiction on The riUer for 1he serUict
Of process beng concurrent In both

UNADULTERATED L0COF0CO
DEMOCRACY.

The Now York Tribune concludes an
article on the spurious claims OF The Lo
corocos to tho exclusive right OF being
called 'DemocrGts,' with the following:
There are thousands in this city who
consider themselves excellent Demo
craIs-none beUer-and yet will lnlm-
idate aud browbeat voters into the sup
port of their tickets, will smuggle in H.
legal voters, aud carry their ticket by
violence, Outrage aud bloodshod. This
has been done repeatedly during the
eleven years we have resided 10 This
ci,y, and always by the men who pro-
Ccssed themselves the best kind OF De-
mocrats, and were ready to knock down
any man who disputed their claim, For
instance, at an election in the Twelfth
Ward, few years since, leading and
active Wing, but one who never was
violent or unfair, was approached by a
,loco(oco friend and cautioned in friend
ship to leave the ground and save him

you as your friend that you must leave

be in danger' And so it proved He
was set upon and bIudgaoned, and glad
to escape with bis life Just so at the
last election in the Sixteenth Ward,
and partially in the Fourth AT the
Sixteenth, active Wings were obliged to
abandon the Polls, or surrender their
lives, They were cautioned BY Loco
foco friends, and needed the caution;
some who did not, were cruelty beaten
Can any man recall one instance in
which the Wings ever SO drove their
opponents from The Polls?
This then is oar answer TO those who
eX Xpalale on the beauties Of Democracy,
that you, as a party, have clearly no
exclusive or superior title to style your.
selves Democrats. Your action, as a
party on the Right ofPetlion the Free
dom Of Discussion on unpopular themes,
and or fifty other questions, proves your
prelensions to superior Democracy as
baseess as those Of the PharIsees Of
old to superior righteousness. As in
their case, what you preach may mainly
be well; but your practices every day
show that you do not understand your
doctrines or are un(ath(u TO them. We
reverence true Liberty, but you do not
understand its first principles, or are re
creanl 10 them. Become Democrats in
fact, before you ask US 10 do reverence
