TIE STATE OF SUPERIOR.

It NAV not he generally known that the
Legislature Of Michigan, at its recent session,
passed. an at providing for the formation of
tho new State Of Superior, but such we find
Nv our western Exchanges to be the fact. The
same action was taken two years since by the
Legislature of Wisconsin. and as these are
the only States 'crri'oriuNy interested, it
won!d seem that the most serious obstacle to
the formation Of the new State has been re-
moved. Congress may now, by virtue of the
power vested by the Cd Section Of the nh
Article Of the Constitution, erect this region
into territory, or admit it at once as a SOW
crcisn State.
The portion which Michigan is willin. To
ccde, is that part Of the present State which
cs North Of Lakes Huron anil Michigan, and
South of Lake Superior, and which is entire
" separated by water, and has no natural
connection with the peninsular section Of the
State, to which it is now attached.
Wisconsin also proposes to give large
portion other Northern territory, so that the
new State may be Of proper size, and we'll
proportional, extending from what is known
~ the Saul, on the East, to the waters of
the St. Croix, or the West. This would en-
brace very large amount Of the finest mine
raj land OH the continent. tocc,hc- with vast
tracts of country possessed Of the most album
liant resources. An independent government
would materially all in the rapid dcvclopc-
ncnt Of these great interests, and VIC should
soon be blessed with another powerful ans!
wealthy State in our Union
Gazette, who las seen the Chinese in Cali
fornia, says Of them:
Durin. our fourteen months STAY in the
mines Of California, We saw much of the
Chinese, being located in the very midst of a
large company Of :hosc people. The compa-
ny -four in numhcr) with which we we're
connected, were the only Americans in the
vicinity of the Chinese camp, consisting, most
"f about 100 people, anil we must saw, that
Of all the foreigners We came liz contact with,
We liked the Chinese the best. They were
honest, industrious and exceedingly kind and
accommodating. We never asked a favor of
one Of them but what it was granted, and VIC
verify believe We never had any more true
and reliable friebIs than we're some of those
cinnamon. There was not a day or evening,
but some one or more of 'hem visited our
cabin. and mere honorable nci,Hb"rs We new
err wish to have. This much We saw for those
Chinese with which W. became acuuai rte,l.
and as Ear as our knowledge Of them extends,
VT should prefer their testimony in a court
Of justice, and believe ii would he Ear more
reliable than that Of many who claim to be
in much higher state of civilization.

ter
am conscious Of a sense Of profound pain
anil humiliation to think any woman will coun.
tcnancc in any way demonstration like tho

meriran woman would. it seems to me the
natural mo1c>'v and decent common sense of
the sex nigh, he enough to protect them from

manhood. There is somct,in. intrinsically
revolving in this attempt to force aside the

The harmonious woman. TO whom has been

Pioneer lifo is always attended with harlships

edge Of their existence, and preparation

the actual experiences Of back-wOo'ls life de-

a poor negro escape and plant his feet upon

STEAMER OCEAN. 1t will be remembered
that when the steamer Ocean was burned in
our harbor some time ago, the safe of the boat
was lost and has never been recovered 1t is
known where it is, however, and the spot has
been marked with buoy, which may be seen
about quarter of mile due west from the
Deer Island freight wharf. Boats make fast
to the buoy every day to fish for perch. The
machinery of the boat, we are told, has been
raised, but no attempt to recover the safe has
yet been made. 1t lies in not more than FIVE
or six fathoms of water. 1t would seem as
though there were some mystery in this mat
ter. Perhaps some one can explain it,
Chdrleaown Advertiser.
We find the above going the rounds in the
papers, and in order 10 correct any misappre-
hension that might naturally exist from the
circulation of such story, we would say that
the safe referred to was recovered within a
few weeks subsequent to the disaster to the
boat. So the Agent in this city informs us.

at this time we are at loss to determine

SEVEN DAYS LATER

The Canada, from Liverpool 29lh, arrived at
Halifax 90 Tuesday. There is no news of i'm
poriance. Prince Gortschakof telegraphs un-
der date of 23d ult., that the Allies had landed
twenty thousand men at Eupatoria, and he has
now thirty thousand men on the Russian flank.
The allies are actively preparing for cam
Psign. Some 400 deserters, mostly Poles, ar
rived at the allied camp. They relate that the
decentralization of the Russian camp was com
plete, and that such was the confusion from the
moment of the attack that the soldiers, exhaus-
ted by fatigue, remained for 25 hours without
provisions. The loss of the Russians is esti-
mated at 1900.
Rumors from St. Petersburg intimate that
Gortschakof will soon evacunte the forts 10 the
North of Sebastopol, those being only strate-
Re'ic points. But great preparations are ma
king by Russians for winter campaign. The
Russian treasury has received large sums of
money through Berlin

SEVEN DAYS LATER

The steamship Pacific arrived at New York,
on Wednesday, with one week later advices
from Liverpool, having sailed Sept 22d.
The retreat of the Russians TO Perekop &sas
contradicted.
Nothing decisive was known in regard to the
next movement of the allies.
The Gar, in company with the Grand
Dukes, has signiied his intention of proceed
ing 10 the Crimea
No later news has been received from The
Baltic
The Emperor of Austria had congratulated
Queen Victoria and Louis Napoleon on The
success of the allies.
There were more r7n7IorS about Austrian ne
rotiations. The latest were that Austria was
willing 10 undertake the work of mediation. at
Vienna, and France at Paris.
1t is rumored that Baron Prokest had ar
rived at Paris with an ultimatum from Austria,
which if the Western Powers agree to, she
proposes sending to Russia, if the latter power
declines TO accept, Austria will declare war
Gen. Simpsons despatch to Lord Panmure,
giving the details of the fall of Sebastopol, had
been received in London 1t does not differ in
its statement from the telegraphic dispatches
previously received in London, and brought
over BY the steamship America.
Ii is said that the Gar on learning of the
disaster at Sebastopol sent a telegraphic de-
spatch 10 the King of Prussia, saying ''that
Russia never made peace after defeat"
The Russians began TO make their appear
ance in small groups among the ruins of the
town.
Gen. Pelissier's latest despatch says:
We are beginning to occupy Sehastopol.
The material left by the enemy is even more
extensive than at first anticipated"
?. Another despatch says that 1900 guns of
large calibre were captured besides 1000 of
small calibre, $4,000 cannon balls, and great
amount of gunpowder and other materials.
A report says, when The Russians saw the
French were masters of the Malakoff, they
blew up the Redan. All the towers were
ruined, but they had not time 10 blow up the
Malakof.
A letter from Warsaw, says as soon as
Marshal Paskiewitch received intelligence of
the fall of Malakotf, he despatched his aid-de-
camp, Demidof, to Sebastopol. 1t is certain
that many more troops are to be sent to the
Crimea.

ly killed on Thursday afternoon, near the
Spring Market in this city, under the follow
ing circumstances
Mr.. Small and others, were trying their
strength in lifting heavy bars of iron, in the
rear of Messrs. Spalding g. Parrott'si store,
and after they got through, companion,
named Charles Henderson, shoudered large
bar marked 400 lbs. Finding the bar rather
heavy, Henderson told Small and another man
who had assisted in posing the bar, to stand
aside, while he threw it from his shoulder.
Small did not move quick enough, and the bar
struck him under the ear, pressing him to the
ground In his fall, his head struck on pile
of iron, by which his skull was fractured,
while on the other side his jugular vein was
severed by the bar which remained upon his
neck. He died Instantly,
