GAZE ON LAKE ERn.-From Buffalo we have
some particulars relative to the destructiveness of
the gale on Lake Erie, which commenced on Thurs
day and continued till midnight on Friday. Among
the vessels injured were the propellos Samson and
Globe, both of which will prove total wrecks
The former had ON board fifteen hundred barrels oil
flour, all Of which is lost In the gale on the Sum
dayprevious the same boat was obliged to throw
over five hundred barrels The steamer St. Louis,
loaded with cattle. hogs, aud two Thousand barrels
of -four, was also wrecked, together with large
number of sailing vessels. In consequences of the
singing frost Friday night, it Is feared that the
crews ofthe disabled vessels suffered dreadfully.
One curious circumstance connected with this gale
is the fact that great number of human bodies
have been seen floating near where the steamer At
lantic was sunk some weeks ago. 1t is supposed
that the surgings of the lake have upheaved these
bodies from their watery graves.

The Coming Legislature.
The approaching session of the Legislature ex-
cites varoushopes suggess,various schemes in diff
felent parts Of the State. There will be grave and
most responsible questions of internal State policy
before this body. The different lines of railroad
improvement, the system of taxation, State reye-
nue., canal improvements, educational advance

The creseent citY Aaair.

The Washington Republic in reply to state
ment published by Dir. George Law in relation to
the action of the Administration in connection
with the ''Crescent City' affair, makessthe follow
ing comments:
All the material points in this statement are in
correct. We understand that MI. Conrad did moi
inform the Spanish Minister that Lieutenant Por-
ter and Purser Smi should 90 not be again aLOioeG
to return to Cuba. The Spanish Minister wa.
informed, however, that these parties would moi
again go out in the Cresceet City, and, for this as
Surance grounds existed which were believed to be
valid In regard to Lieutenant Porter. it was
known that he was iuegularly transferred from the
steamer GeoTgia-to which he had been originally
assigned by the Navy De paTtnent-to the Crescent
City; and he had requested to be restored to the
command Of the former vessel. It was known
further in reference to Purser Smith, that Mr.. Ro-
beIts, the agent of the company while in this City
had declared that it was not the intention OF the
company to send Smith again in the Crescent City,
and that he, too, would be transferred to the Geor
| gia. If we are not misinfomed, this declaration
was made by Mr.. Roberts to at least two members
| of the Government. The same gentleman also
| stated that Smith went on the preceding voyage
only because theperson appointed in his place had
suddenly been seized with illness; the suppositon
of the company at the time being that certain doc
uments which Lieutenant Porter had transmitted
for presentation to the Captain General of Cuba
would have satisfied him that his suspicious in re-
| gard to Smith were unfounded, and therefore that
the order issued against him would be revoked
! We think that these circumstances, viewed con-
jointly, warranted the only Communication made to
Mr. Calderon de la Barca on the subject.
There is manifest absurdity in the idea conveyed
by Mr.. Law, that the then Acting Secretary OF
State gave promise to the Spanish Minister that
Smith would "not be again allowed to return to
Cuba. Mr.. Conrad and Mr.. CaldeTon both knew
that the Government have no control over the en-
ployees of the company, and no means of prevents
: ing Mr., Smith from going to Havana if he thinks
proper to do so.

Thursday week. during the discussion of the Indian
Appropriation Bill. the amendment pending being TO
strike appropriation of 6,246, to be paid to
the Shawanecs for lands OF theirs sold in Ohio, Gen
eral Cass made speech, in the of which he
said he desired to vndcate the truth of history He
said it was often questioned who was author of the
movement which broke the British lines at Tippeca-

command General Harrison issued his orders for the
order of battle COL Johnson's regiment being behind

Gen. Harrison said to him (Cass) that he would change
the order of battle and place Johnsons horse 'front.'
He suggested TO General Harrison the difficulty: that
Johnson's men and horses were blt raw troops. Gen.
Harrison replied that he had considered that, and that
Johnson was willing TO do if. The change was made,
the horses put in front and charged the enemy
literally riding down the British and breaking their
lines. The next point was. who killed Tecumseh H.
He then detailed the circumstances which satisfied him
beyond doubt that Col. Johnson killed Tecumseb.
The debate on the amendment continued till twenty
