The Marquette Company, who own and
are at present working upon an iron loca-
ton on the south shore Of Lake Superior,
in the vicinity of Carp river, are making
extensive arrangements to prosecute their
mining operations with yigor during the
winter. The stock is principally in the
hands of Boston capitalists, who are ex-
ertng every effort to build up an interest
in that section Of Michigan that will add
much to the resources of our State.
During the summer, three several surveys
have been made from their point on Lake
Superior across land to Bay du Nocque,
with view OF laying out road, and thus
affording facilities for winter communi-
cation, at least, between the upper and
lower peninsulas. We can hardly con-
ceive of more desirable internal improve
ment of this character than the one con-
templated Most Of the land lying be-
tween these two points is of most excel
lent quality, and we are assured by Mr..
Robert Graveraet, who surveyed the
routes, and who is now in our city, that a
majority of it excels the character of the
soil in the vicinity of the Ontonagon, (still
further west, on Lake Superor,) and
which DR.. Houghton pronounced, in his
geological reports, as good second-rate
agricultural land. Pine plains are also
crossed, extending for ten and fifteen
miles, as smooth and level as the prairie
lands of Illinois. The pine timber on the
plains, however, he represents as small.
1t is the intention Of Mr. Graveraet to
leave for Chicago, Oh his return for Lake
Superior, in about two weeks, at which
city he has been instructed, by the direc-
tors of the company, to purchase some
twenty-five horses, to be used at the
mines, and to drive them through to Lake
Superior. This he intends to accomplish
by conveying his horses to Milwaukee,
where he will procure passage for them
by water to Bay du Nocque, from which
point he will drive them through the coun-
try to their place Of destination-an un-
dertaking the magnitude of which may be
Judged from the fact that no domestic ami
NAL has ever been taken over that coun-
try. The company have at present en-
ployed about one hundred men, force
they will continue through the winter.
They have also the necessary works erect
ed for forging, and have entered into sys.
tematic course OF operations that, on the
opening of navigation next spring, will tel
we'll for that department of industry and
the mineral resources of our State. De

Victor Hugo, delivered valedlctory ad-
dress on the last day of the session, which
is spoken of in terms OF high praise. 1t

OF the massacre of st. Bartholomew, and

indispensable that their successors, in whatever
character, should now make themselves known to
Congress by memorials, 80 that their Repre-

them and of their claims by direct communications,
the duly appointed Agent of said original claim
ants, have this day addressed circular letter,
with printed forms of memorial, to all their sue

inasmuch very many Of them have not made

requested to make immediate application to me by
letter (post paid) for like forms OF memorial, so
that the same be executed and presented TO Con-

next, it being confidently expected that bill for

The action of the Turkish government,
in refusing the demand of the Emperor of
Russia, for the surrender of the Hungarian
fugitives, gives general satisfaction in Eng
land, and the press are almost unanimous
in the opinion that it is the duty of Eng
land and France to sustain the Sultan.
Even the London Times, the organ of the
anti-revolutionisis, and the apologist for
tyrants, has the following emphatic lam
guage:
"The morality of Mosem shames the prohigacy
Of christian conduct. The Porte will not surrender
the exiles who have thrown themselves on her soil
even to the powerful sovereign who can bring into
the field 700, 900 Stripped of nearly all her
strength-with little but the traditions of her past
splcndor remainng-distracted from within and
menaccd from without-Turkcy still clings firmly
10 the nobest article Of her faith and holds it like
shield the helpless against the Autocrat of the
strongest empire in the world. The question is,
shall shall we not abandon our ancient ally,
and acquiescc in arrogant dictation which in
suits all the States of Europe? On our decision and
action hang the immediate fate of Turkey, and it
may be the prospective destnes Of India and of
England herself"
