FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
Terrific Storm on Lake Michigan-Dis
astrOus Shipwreck and Loss of Life.

CHICAGO, Thursday Eve, April 2Sth.
My first contribution to your columns is filled with
sadness. The most terrific storm, known to the en-
perence of Oldest residents has been raging during
the last twenry- flour hours on Lake Michigan
Never have before realized the awful power and
mercilessness of the elements, when reused to anger
the quiet Of repose, felt the impotence
Of man and his works to Withstand the strength of
their fury.
| Yesterday morning opened with the wind blowing
strongly from the North, and the Lake had already
become rough that fears generally entertained
for the safety Of the shipping. The storm increased
as the day advanced, and fear became more intense
and general. Crowds ranged themselves along the
shore, looking anxiousy the troubled waters to
catch glimpse of the rocking masts Of vessel
exposed the danger of destruction. Soon the brig
Enterprise and the schooner Pilot hove in sight, and
by miracle succeeded in making the harbor. Fol-
Loving them, came the Merchant, but the wind,
which at its height, drove her on the shoals
at the mouth of the harbor and after struggling some
time, she finally capsized by the violence Of the
waves. Seeing her danger, three boats were manned
with noble hearted men, who exposed themselves to
|
fellows, and three out Of eight, were saved.
An incident occurred at this time which think
worth narrating: AS the lii-boats brought out,
sailor, nearly 10 years old, jumped into the first,
and flashing himself fast, called the behind
him to follow his example. They did SO, but would
not permit the old hero go out, knowing that his
strength was not competent to stand against the
rible storm. He would not hear to their entreaes
to go ashore and they were obliged at last to carry
him by force out Of the life boat the break water
The Rocky Mountains, following, drfed against
the railroad breakwaterEand is now total wreck;
but her crew were happily saved.
The Olive Richmond, Is close to the pier, in
perilous condition. having parted with her anchors.
The brig Mary, from Green Bay, has slipped her
cable; and there is hope that either of these
sells or their crews, can he saved.
Several vessels are outside at anchor among
which think the Throop and the Hadyn. 1t
is feared that these will be unable to ride out the
storm, and that all IN board must perish.
You can read this account, perhaps, with nothing
more than sigh or two that human life should be
thus mercessly thrown to feed the nav of Death.
But have seen the awful destruction, you would
wonder that the whole city for time forgot their
pleasure ana their business, and that all wore in
place Of joy care, the solemn gloom Of despair, as
If they were be swallowed up from life by the
aIl-devouring waves.
In haste, J.HW.

THE HUNGARIAN FIRE-BRANr.-It is stated
that reliable letters have been received at Washing
ton, which say that LOUIS NAPOLEON has notified
Austria that, should she show any disposition to ioln
Russia, he would raise the standard of revolt in Hum
gary and Lombardy. KossUrH seems to be held in
the leash, like a species of bloodhound, to be let
loose, if the allies cannot otherwise get along.

Washington, informs us that Minnesota mat
tiers look favorable. There was little doubt
when he left, but that grant for the Railroad
through Minnesota would pass. A Bill foc is,

The KOszta Affair-Letter from Capt
Ingraham.

In the House few days since, the Speaker pre-
scented message from the President With additional
correspondence in the koszta affair. Capt. Ingra-
ham writes AS follows to Secretary Dobbn under date
OF Smyrna, July 81.
81 have taken fearful responsibility upon me by
this act; but after Mr.. Brown had informed me that
koszta had taken the oath Of allegiance to Americ.,
that he American, American citizen,
and had been under the protection of the Legation at
Constantinople-T could not hesitate to believe he
was fully entitled to protection. 1t was Of life
and death; for if koszta taken to Trieste his
fate was sealed-and could have looked the Amcri-
to be executed and not used the power in my hands
to protect him, from fear Of doing too much! The
manner, also, in which he given up, and the
convention that he should Ike held by third party
until his nationality could be established, is evidence
that they were not Of their ground. Should my
conduct be approved, it will be one Of the proudest
moments of my life that have saved this gallant man
from cruel and ignomnous death. On the other
hand, should my course be disapproved, l must bow
TO the decision but whatever may bc the consequence
to me. shall feel have done my best support the
honor Of the flag, and not allowed citizen to be OPP
pressed who claimed, at my hands, the protection Of
the fag.''
The Secretary Of State replied Aug. 10, approving
the action Of Ingraham.

slave States. What was the condition of the
slave States thirty years ago in relation to
the use of the soil within their limits? De-
barred of great part Of its use: an Indian
population covering more or less of almost
every slave State, and preventing the ex-
panson Of its population. What is it now9
All relieved. The Indians all gone; their
lands all brought under the dominion of the
man; and the area Of slave population, and
Of slave cultivation, greatly inoreased-to
the extent Of third or fourth of its soil in
some of the States. How was this done?
Certainly BY the help of free State votes,
(for it could not have been done without
tham;) by the help Of their votes in procur-
ing the appropriations, and ratirying the
treaties which the removal of the Indians
required. Missouri got her fine southwest
quarter relieved by these means. The same
votes gave US the Platte country, seven fine
counties added to the State! and that by al
tering the compromise line to include it, and
actually converting that fine region from free
soil TO slave soil. Northern votes enabled it
to be done; northern votes altered above an
hundred miles Of the compromise line for
our benefit, upon cur request; and l will
never be ungrateful to the North for it, nor
requite it by breach of the line to their
prejudice. And how did we obtain the
northern votes which were necessary for
all these measures-the appropriations and
treaties for al these Indian removals, and
and for that alteration OF the compromise
line which gave lis the beautiful Platte
country? How did the Missouri delega-
tion of that day-the most amiabe and tai
ented DR.. Linn and myself, in the Senate,
and Gen. Ashley in the House-how did we
obtain that great boon for orr State? Did
we get these votes by belching abolitionism
against the north? No, no; we got them by
appealing TO the justice and the fraternal
feeling of our northern brethren, and to
which we never appealed once in vain.
Who, in the last hard trial TO get the Chero-
KEGS out of Georgia, gave Us fourteen af-
tirmative votes 10 balance seven negatives
from the south, and saved the treaty by one
vote? And l, who was part of these trans
actions, accustomed TO solicit northern votes,
and express thanks for them, will not now
return them evil for good by attempting to
deprive them of their share of a compromise
which we imposed upon them.

Cuba-Slidell's Speeeh.

Mr.. Slidell has introduced resolution
into the Senate, and made a speech on II,
relative to Cuba. He proposed 10 instruct
the committee on the Judiciary 10 inquire
into the expediency, Of authorising the
President to suspend the neutrality laws in
regard to Cuba during the recess Of Con-
gress.
Mr.. Slidells speech in support OF this
measure was elaboraely profound, and is
the result of careful inquiry. He showed,
from official and authentic documents, that
England, France and Spain had combined
to Africanise Cuba, and that this work, long
contemplated, had now actually commenced,
and must be arrested by the timely intcrpo-
sition of the United States. He declared
that, upon the occasion of the late Outrage
upon the Black Warrior, The President i'm
mediately ought TO have blockaded the ports
of Cuba.
Mr.. Benjamin seconded lis colleague
with much alacrity, and accorded with him
in facts, though not prepared to pledge him
self to his olicy.
Mr.. Mallory, also, now admitted the facts,
though heretofore he had doubted whether
Spain could adopt SC suicidal course

whole Senate was at once alarmed at the

Alcohol WITHOUT DIsTILLATIoS.- At
the Patent Office it is now customary 10
obtain pure alcohol from whisky without
distllation or heat. The discovery was ac.
ciaental. A gentleman had quantity Of
whisky in cssk five feet high. On draw
ing it off he discovered that the upper part
of it was much stronger than that near the
bottom, The hint was taken; and now we
prepare our alcohol by putting whisky into
tall column, and allowing it time for the
heavier parts to subside, and we find pure
alcohol at the top. This will prove an in
valuable fact to manufacturers.
