LAKE SUPERIOR IN THE WINTER
We have been favored with the perusal
ola letter from Major J. b. CAMPBELL,
Assistant Superintendent of the upper
mineral country 10 gentleman OF this
City, dates Cooper Harbor," Lake
Superior, December Is, lS43, in which
the writer says:
"The weather has been exceedingly
mild for high Northern latitude, the
thermometer never having been lower
then l6o below freezing, and yesterday
lat l2 O'Clock in the open air, il was at
temperate; the snow has never been
over six inches in depth, and to day il
is raining.
| have but little doubt but the mines
in this country will be found 10 be ex-
cecdingly rich, though it will require
capital TO make proper dcvelope-
ments."
Major Campbell speaks Of his resi-
dencc there as being rather montonous
and lonely. He certainly deserves
great credit Cor his winter pioneering
and thus from personal observation
making the world acquainted with the
climate Of this region SO interesting in
lis mineral resources. This letter
found lis way across by the Ancc and
Menominee River to Green Bay
Detroit Advertiser.

CANAL Across TPE IsTHMUs OF SUEZ
1t is said that the project OF connec-
ting the Mediterranean and Red Seas
by canal across the Isthmus Of Suez
is attracting attention in England.
The mercantile community are urging
The Government. TO embark in the en-
terprise, in order 10 secure direct and
certain communication with India and
other Oriental countries. The route
across the Islhmus has been several
times surveyed by English and French
engineers, and three distinct lines have
been marked out. The length Of the
shortesI is 40 miles, and the estimated
expense Of constructing the canal is
969l, O00.-Anothcr route is rs miles
in length, and the estimated expense,

ever be completed, it would change the

OREGON FUR COMPANY.

The public will be glad 10 learn
that, although the petition for the in
corporation Of this proposed Company
was introduced but few days ago in
the Legislature, bill has already been
reported in the House by Mr.. Crabb,
authorizing the incorporation. This
despatch indicates the interest attached
to the measure, aud gives an earnest
Ioi lis speedy consumation. Should
the Company be created and go into
operation successfully, there is no
doubt that others will follow the ex-
ample, and tide efemigrnts, hunters,
fur trappels, artisans and traders be
poured into Oregon Territory, in the
course of the ensuing three years,
which will completely change the face
Of the extensive region and the condl-
ltion of the people. War and COM
merce are the two great impelling for
ces in the progress of civilization, and
nothing will more effectually destroy
all necessity or excuse for the former
than an increase and extension ofthe
latter. BY encouraging emigration TO
Oregon and establishing profitable
trade there, we shall obtain a power
which will not only insure the SOW
reignty Of The United States to the do
main, bu: which will completely alb
sorb and anphiIate every foreign in
terest, and leave no vestige Of hostile
or conflicting power fora war to ope-
rate upon. Fhc only danger in the
experiment; is that its novelty and at
traction may stimulate enterprise into
speculation. This must be carefully
guarded against by tho legislatures and
people. or what might otherwise prove
great advantage may result in wide
spread ruin and misery.-Dollar

before i proceed further, to look more narrowly

in rear Of the Chancety Office. From the OK.
posed condition of the Portico, it being yybollv
Unprotected from the weather, il has, at an early
period after its erection, so decayed to be in dan
ger OF falling down at any hour. With all due
difference to the better judgment OF the Common
Council, would suggest that the pottico be
wholly removed, and simply platform with
fright Of steps substituted in its place. The
whole cost of such change, including the re.
moval OF the present portico, will not, am sure,
exceed the inconsiderable sum of twenty-five Of

The President has vetoed the Eastern Harbor

difference between them in principle was pretty
much that of ttveedte-dum and f,oeedle-dee. One
Of the objections urged to the Eastern bill, which
contained an appropriation of $4,000 for the i'm
provement OF the harbor at Richmond, is that il
may raise the price of property in Richmond, and
injure it in Petersburg. A sapient reason, that!

ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.

We fear the St. Louis Era speaks but too much
truth when it says, that "those who propose TO
annex Texas to the United States do not expect
that our swollen aud cumbrous confederacy will
last much longer. We suspect that the old spirit
Of notification and secession is assuming new
form. and that preparations are making to form
new Southern con!ederacy. Some advocate the
annexation of Texas on the ground that they ex-
pect dissolution of the Union before long at
any rate. We have better hopes Of the Union,
and believe that if we remain content with our
present limits, il will last long and give prospe-
rity to the country. The annexers are making
prodigous efforts to make great show of strength,
but it is fictitious exhibition. They publish
multitude of Letters OH The subiectfor the purpose
Of deceiving the public. The body of the public
are content With the Union il is, but those who
are deeply interested in Texas affairs much
more active and clamorous."
