The Hollanders OF Michigan.

We had the pleasure yesterday of making toe
acouaintance of Mr. A. c. Van Rialte, the minis
ter and manager of the affairs OF the Colony OF
Holanders who have settled on Black axe, IN y -
iowa County, Michigan.
Dominic the name by which he IS best KNOWN
Nan Raalte is man OF undOubted energy and per-
severance as he has shown by ms coaducs win
reference to the matter OF emigration 70 tils conn
try. Amid many difficulties In his way with
donbters nj home as well strong opponents To
the scheme, and the plan trowned upon oy tnc
King of Holland, he has persevered, ana the Eoio-
ristS which have settled under the charge OF hun
self and other capable men are now prosperous and
happv. They have labore1 through the worst paH
of their adventure in strange land, and are no"
ENJOYING liberty of conscience and civil privile
seated on their own land, and ready TO extend a
hand to aid others who wish to join them IL Is
probable, indeed almost beyond doubt, that after
August next measures Will be taken ior very
large emigration from Holland, and that mucn
wealth will thus be brought into tue country
There are no emigrants who Will do more Tor their
adopted land than will these same men.
We. in Milwaukee, are especially Interested In
this colony as it is situated directly east oil US on
the Michigan shore and If therla could only be
entered by vessels to advantage, we should very
shortly reap the benefit OF trade with the colonists
1t is confidently expected that an Appropriation
will be made by Congress for piers at the entrance
OF Black Lake, which will at small cost make IL tne
best barber on the Lakes, there being Tor mules
