The Timber DcnrcdntOrs.

At the late session of the u s. District Court
held at Detroit, fifty-two indictments were pre-.
scented against individuals for trespasses com.
mitied on government lands in Michigan
These individuals will be arrested and brought
on to trial as soon as possible. The wholesale
pillage of public lands in the northern coun.
ties is matter so notorious, and the injury
done our State, principally by residents of Wis.
consn and Illinois, in robbing it of its most val.
liable resources, has become so apparent as to
render observation on this point superfuous
The thorough measures that have been taken
to check this system Of public depreciation has
perhaps in a very few instances subjected limo.
cent persons to hardship. But we have full
confidence in the good faith Of those who are
looking after the rights Of the people in this
matter, and we have every reason to believe
that the integrity and energy with which they
are discharging their duty will result in great
advantage not only to the general government
but also to the inhabitants Of this State.

NORTHWESTERN CONvENTIoN-NO indication
of the growth and Importance ofthe Great West.
Is so manifest, as the present urgent demand
for Northwestern Convention. Without con-
cert, without intending it, we have suddenly
reached that position in which 1t concerns our
highest interests to unite, and consult for the
mutual welfare Of the various States comprised
in this section of country. Our intimate con-
nec,ion with the East and South; our rapidly
developing resources, mineral and agricutu-
raj the location Of the line Of the Pacific rail-
road, and the position OF the country, call for
convention.
Will this be considered sectional movement
We think not; it is legitimate, and proper that
the people Of the Northwest should hold such
convention; that they should always consult
their own prosperity, without injury Of sister
States One thousand delegates, men who rep
resented the wealth and intelligence Of the
whole South, lately assembled in Memphis,
Tennessee, and we admire and applaud their
zeal to advance the commercial, political and
social interests Of the South In their rcsolu-
! tons, which we shall publish, they confidently
express the opinion that from the superior adj
vantages Of the route, the Great Western Rail-
road will connect with the South and it re-
mains with us to show The " falacy" Of such
opinions. Votes and resolutions will neither
make US wealthy nor happy; still, they may
| produce action, lille, as an expression of our
mutual interests they will serve 10 unite us.

AN IRON SHP.-The Evangeline, an iron ship ),
has arrived at New Orleans from Liverpool.
The Picayune gives the following description
Her entire hull, with the exception Of the
deck planking and some ceilings, is of iron The
ship timbers ms well as the sheating. are entire
ly OF iron. The knee timbers are all Of iron,
not thicker than ones thumb and so narrow and
graceful as to look more like ornaments than
the solid substances they are TO SD immense
fabric. The lower deck has. in consequence, q
vast increase of light and space which it is
difficult to appreciate without seeing it. The
main and foremasts, ALSO are of iron upt the
crosstrees, the topmasts, &C., being wood. These
masts are hollow, and so spacious that a man
can pass up in the inside. They are used as
ventilators for keeping the air below fresh and
pure. The water tanks of the ship are also Of
iron, and are situated in the keelson; they are
capable Of carrying 5000 gallons, and are divi-
ded into three separate alright compartments,
each of which is communicated with by sepa-
rate pump The whole arrangement is unique,
and the economy of space for burden is very
great. The ship measures 1000 tons, and
cost 100000.

The FISHERY TRoUBLEs.-A private dis
patch from Washington city to the N. Y. Her
aid of the 18th inst, says the President has de-
termiped to send at once small force of three
vessels of war to look after the interests Of
American Fishermen. The steamers Princeton
and Fulton, and brig of war Decatur, will be
sent. This has been done after good deal Of
reflection on the part Of the Executive. Off
cial information has been received that the Maine
fishermen have about one-third more vessels
employed in the fisheries this year than at any
previous time, and the same proportion have
gone into the gulf and bay None of them, 1t
is believed, have gone armed, but there exists a
good deal of excitement in consequence Of the
supposed neglect of the government in afford
ing them protection. The fishermen declare il
the government does not protect them they will
arm and take care of themselves. Under these
circumstances, and to calm the irritation as much
as possible, the armed United States vessels are
to be sent Our dispatches this morning an.
nounce that the command will probably be CIV

in a loss of from 100000 to 100000. Be-

Mrs. HARRIET BEECHER Stowe IN PARIS
WORSE AND WoRsE.-The refusal of Queen
Victoria to admit the authoress of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" and the idol of Stafford House,
into the royal presence, appears to have been
followed up by Louis Napoleon in true imperial
style. A certain Mr.. Fin Paris thought
proper, upon his own responsibility, to ionize
Mrs Stowe at his own residence; but oh the
dreadful insecurity of the one man power!
While Mr.. F. was in the act of taking our alb
clifton heroine out riding" the police made
descent upon Mr.. F. and all the Frenchmen
in his house, and sana cermonie hurried them
off to Jail. This ought to suggest to the
philanthropic lady the propriety and expediency
of speedily quitting Europe in disgust. How
well it would have been had the professor full
filled his promised return to Boston by the first
Of June, bringing madam along with him. Bad
business this, of lionizing among the socialists
and bloody reds of Paris, in these days. No
doubt Mrs. Stowe will learn, notwithstanding
the universal disgrace which she has attempted
to cast upon the institutions other own country.
that after all, +" there is no place like home"

of the same kidney. N. Y. Herald,

Gle says:
Nor can we by any means commend the pre-
cedent which Professor Stowe has sent to Eng
fish husbands, by bringing his wife to be exhb-
tied on platforms, asan object Of public tlaltery.
Long may it be before an English authoress is
induced TO prefer so dangerous and equvocal
qualification to the appreciation of her readers,
the love of her friends, and the applause of her
own heart. Long, rery long may Il be before an
Enqlishu0man is persuaded TO parade an foreign

country's shame. We are aware that the Gus
toms and opinions of American society on these
points are very different from ours, and that an

we must say, most empathcally, that we wish
