~ We learn by two gentlemen that have
been exploring the country North and East Of
this, even to the head waters of the Muskegon
river, that the county of Newaygo is settling
fast, and that, in this new county, (where three
years ago the whole population consisted of
about one hundred lumbermen confined to the
the line of the river in their oppcrations), they
now estimate the population at about eight hun
dred. The new settlers must be mostly farm
ers, from the fact, they found, within ten miles
of Newaygo County Seat, $50 acres of wheat
now being harvested-al of the very best quail
ty, and heavy crop. Within the same space
there is at this time 1000 acres of corn growing
upon the ground all looking very fine, with
sufficiency of oats, potatoes, ETC., to supply all
umbermen that want food for men and teams
The county of Newaygo is the richest county
in the State-one half of it is covered with the
best of pine timber, the balance the best of far
ming land great amount of the best water
power the world can produce is found within the
limits of this county. 1t opens to settlers and
capitalists the most sure guaranty of an ample
reward for any labor that may be performed, or
for capital that may be invested there.
The county site of Newaygo we understand
is wisely and handsomely located at the rapids
of Muskegon River where much has been done
already by way of Improvement. To those de-
sirous Of procuring good farms or of embarking
in the lumber business we commend them to
NewaygO county.

DEATH PENALTY IN FRANCE--M. Hugo, son
of the celebrated Victor Hugo, has been fined
and imprisoned at Paris, by the government, for
strongly condemning, in the Erenement, daily
Journal, the death punishment by the gulotine.
The article was occasioned by the horrible in
cident of young man, condemned to death, re-
sstng his executioncrs--in the public guilo-
tine-while bound, for three quarters of an
hour, until they had to bear him off to prison
and add to their force. The spectacle was one
to debase civilized people and shame christian
age and, though M. Hugo defended his son in
speech of mastery eloquence and power--in
which nc avowed stronger sentiments against
irreparable penalties than his son had express
ed, and condemned the guillotne as barbar-
Gus and atrocious libel on the intelligence and
spirit of the age--the young man was condemn
ed Here is the close of Victor Hugo's speech
addressed to his son:
"My son, you receive to-day distinguished
honor. You have deemed it worthy to combat,
perhaps to suffer for the holy cause of truth
From this day you may date your entrance into
the verie life of our times, that is into the
struggle for the Just and True. You may be
proud that you simple soldier of the demo-
cratic and humanity idea, have sat on the bench
where sat Beranger, where has sat Lamennais.
BE indomitable in your convictions, and-let
this be my last work--if you need thought to
strengthen you in your faith in progress, in
your belief in the future, in your religion for
Humanity, in your execration of the scaffold,
in your horror for irrevocabe and irreparable
penalties, then remember that you have sat on
this bench where sat Lesurques."

CANAL AROUND THE SAULT ON THE CANADA
SIDE.--We understand that charter has been
granted to company by the Canadian Para-
ment for the purpose of building this long talk
ed of canal The provisions Of the charter
and such information as we may receive in re-
gard to the time Of commencing work, &C., will
be laid before our readers soon.
While the Americans have been talking the
Canadians have been acting. BY building a
canal on their side of the river, they have COM
plete control of the shipping ON Lake Superior,
and by that means the American vessels and
trade will be compelled to pay tribute to our
Canadian neighbors--we had almost said for
ever. Our readers will remember the excite
ment occasioned this spring by the rumor that
the Weland Canal was TO be closed against
American shipping The canal at this point
bears the same relation to the Lake Superior
country as the Welland Canal does to the coun-
try bordering on the lower lakes. There is,
however, this difference,-the country of which
the lower lakes are the great channels by which
their surplus produce is carried off, is, we may
say, fully matured, while the Lake Superior re-
gon is yet, even with the improvements that
have been made within the past few years, an
almost unbroken wderness--her mineral re-
sources have been scarcely touched, and in fact,
those mines that are sending forward such large
quantities of ore, have scarcely begun to show
the richness of the region. As for her agricul-
tural lands, they are not surpassed by any in the
Union. The building Of this canal will be the
means at once of opening this country to the
capitalist, the farmer, the mechanic and the Ia
borer, and tend to the rapid development of all
its resources.
We will speak more at length on this subject
as soon as we receive the necessary information
in regard to it. bet. Free Press.

CALIFORNIA NEws.-We have our files of
San Francisco papers up to the middle of June.
The principal topic Of discussion at last dates
seems to have been the hanging of one Jenkins,
without judge or jury, in the streets of San
Francisco. All accounts concur in giving him
most desperate character, as an escaped con-
Wet from Botany Bay. An association has been
formed under the imposing style Of 4" The Peo-
pies Committee of Vigilance" for the I" mainte-
nance of the peace and good order of society,
and the preservation Of the lives and property
of the citizens, &C." All this sounds rather
harshly in the ears accustomed to hear of strict
and implicit obedience to the laws of the land
and TO the authorities constituted under them !;
yet we can imagine state of things in a socie-
ty such rs exists in some portions of our young
est sister, which may perhaps justify, as a last
resort, the direct Intervention of the masses of
the people to remedy insupportabe evils, which
lax administration ofjustice has failed to reach.
We trust, however, that ere this a salutary
change has been wrought in that distant section
of our country, sufficient to put an end to the
scenes of boodshed and violence which we have
too often had occasion to notice. A magnificent
entertainment was given on the 10Th ult in hon.
or of Mr.. McNIanus, distinguished Irish patriot,
who was present The heart of the exile must
have been gladdened by this exhibition of SYM
patty for his sufierings in the cause Of his OPP
pressed and unhappy country The assembly
was graced by the presence of numerous ladies,
and most of the high official personages of CAL
ifornia. The various business interests of the
State seem to be in healthy and prosperous
situation. Free Press.

IMPORTANT TO LAKE CAPTAMs.-The Cleave-
land Herald has the following decision of the
Supreme Court recently given, under the law
known as the "Steam Boat Law"
In the case of Alonzo Ladd vs. Schooner Ea-
gle, suit was brought to recover wages due
plaintiff as Captain, of defendant. Judgment
was rendered in Common Pleas for the plaintiff,
but was reversed by the Supreme Court, on a
writ of error, the Court holding that the mas
ter could not recover against his vessel for wa
ges due him rs such master. 1t has been de-
cided heretofore, that seamen could recover their
wages under the statute, but the Court makes
distinction between common seamen and mas
tiers in respect to their right to recover their
wages. Chicago Journal.

RELEASE OF Mr.. BRACE.-The last advices
from Europe bring the gratifying intelligence
that our countryman, Brace, has been released
from the confinement to which he was subject
ed by The miserably despotic Government of
Austria, on mere suspicion of being sympathi-
yer with the noble Hugarians in their late strug-
gle with their oppressors. 1t was doubtless the
intention of that Government TO punish, in the
person of Mr.. B., the exhibitions Of sympathy
and encouragement which have been waited
across the water from our favored land, rs moth
ing amounting to proof was ever adduced
against him. The rumor of the near approach
Of two of our floating Castles" and the fears
entertained by the good people of Trieste, of a
summary bombardment, had doubtless very
desirable effect in inducing the release of the pri-
soner. Mr.. b. WILL it is presumed, soon lay the
particulars of his Imprisonment before bis coun-
trymen Free Press.
