War Vessel, the Princeton.
We publish the official report made by Capt
Stockton 10 the Secretary Of the Navy, Of the
trial Of speed made between the Princeton and
the British steamer Great Western. The re-
suit was such ns to make it proud day for
Capt. Stockton, and the country proud OF hay,
ing such a son. The Great Western has long
been a fayorite vessel on both sides Of the At
lantic, and took prccedcuca with the public
over all the ocean steamers for speed, shiliul
command, &c The act ofchallcnging vcs-
sci with such an established character to n tri-
al Of powers with one which was still, in a mea-
sure, but an untred experiment, was an act of
daring which few would have vcntured on, and
none who are not acluatcd by that noble spirit
of chivalry, for which Captain Stockton is so
cminently distinguished.
There is not any thing whatever new, but
only improvements il the arts, as applied to
! ship-buildinC, machinery, and steam power
! The model of the Princeton is said TO be as
| perfect as any thing that ever foated on the
water. Every one who secs her, is struck with
! admiration a, her perfect symmetry and grace
! ful appearance. The machinery is said to be
ofthe most perfect character, in design as well
as in finish. The ship the machinery, and
! every thing connected herewith, has been
/ originated by, and constructed and executed
/ under the immediate supeTiptendence OF Cap
tain Stockton. To him belongs all the credit
ofsuccess, and the rCnown which it sheds on
the country, for these extraordinary improve
mcnts in the arts; as, IN the event Of failure,
he would have been obliged 70 have borne all
! tho odlum consequent thereto. This. after the
expectation OF the public had been elevated to
the highest point, wou'd not have been either
light or measured. Captain Stockton's profes-
| spnal as well as scientific reputation was staked
in the result Of the experiment Thus Ear he
has succeeded, and trlumphed FAR beyond, it ap.
pears to rs. what his most sanguine expec,a
lions could have ever anticipated. In this he
reaps rich reward. The country, which he
has long sallanliy served, derives the benefits

We were shown yesterday a specimen Of
pure copper recently broken from a vein on
Isle Royal. Lake Superior. by Mr.. Menden-
hall, one of the intelligent and enterprising
founders Of the Cleveland North Western Com.
pany, who has spent most of his time 10 the
Lake Superior region since 1889. We are un.
der obligations to Mr.. NJ. for the following in
formation touching the Copper region and the
provision Government has made in regard TO
mining.
The terms on which government grants per.
mission to work the mines of Lake Superior,
are essentially as follows A bond in The sum
of $4,000 is required, conditioned for the
faithful compliance with the regulations res
pec,ing the mineral lands. and with the laws
regulating intercourse with the Indians. A
license will then be- granted, allowing the gran
tee one year to make HE selections of 8 lots
not exceeding miles square each, or 81 square
miles in all: these 3 lots shall not approach
nearer than miles Of each other, he shall
lines running North South &C., and return Of
the survey must be made to the War Depart
ment. He is then entitled to lease of his
lots for years. renewable each succeeding 5
years, unless Government determines at fu-
ture day to sell the lands. The mineral must
be smel,ed on the district, and for the first three
years 6 per cent. delivered to the mineral a.
gent, who will be located at La Pointe, or at
the Saul, St. Msries; afterwards 10 per cent.
The mines to be efficiently wrought at least
three quarters of the time; a failure 10 do so,
working forfeiture ofihe lease. The min
eral agent to have access at all times to the
mining aud smelling works.
These terms are considered by DR.. Hough-
ton, the Geologiss who examined the country.
as unnecessarily liberal in respect to extent Of
land; one half mile square being considered by
him as altogether sufficient for the most extern.
sive Operations. In this respec, change
will probably be made at his suggestion to the
War Department
The district has been explored only 10 part.

that il is one Of the riches, and most extensive

quantities. The whole region 10 Of an extreme.

ven,urers who expect to succeed without en-
countering serious difficulties from this cause,
and from the isolated position Of the country,

to visit the Copper region by means of the two
vessels on the lake, which will furnish fire..

at leas, one of them, are disposed TO furnish ev.
