Lake Superior Matters,

From the Ontahagon NtKer of the 18th inst
we gather the following intelligence:
MINNESOTA MFsE.-This mine produced 3oe.
13l pounds of copper in August Product Tor
September not yet ascertained
RockLasp MIxE-Thet product of this mine
in August was 65.4l pounds, with prospect
OF n considerable increase in September. Sew
eral masses will be cut and weighed off, during
the month.
NATIONAL MISE--This mine yielded eleven
and a half tons in August and is now looking
very well, and will steadily increase its pro-
ducts.
The CLIFF and MINNESOTA yielded cnch the
same quantity OF copper In August. To wit:
little over Isl = tons each
The SUPERIOR and FLINT STEEL. are pushing
their operations the Minnesota south VEN
with tiatering prospects,; in fact all these mines
above mentioned, are about on the same thing
on the same veins, and likely to achieve the
same results
NEBRASKA MISE--Ihe prospects at this mine
are evidently good and improving; large amt
of work has been done since Nav in fact we
were surprised 10 notice the rapid progress made
and the quantity OF rock broken in SO short q
space of time.
ISLE ROYAL NIxE-This mine produced about
10 tons of copper in September.
They burst the boiler of their hosting Gu
CINE on the Both, but would have it running in
two days One man slightly scalded.
The Miner has few returns from the cleo
ton held IN the Upper Peninsula, on the 30th
ult.. and over which the Buchaneers are crow
ing so loudly. 1t seems that Mr. Craveract the
Senator elect, received nearly all the votes, his
opponent, Ely, receiving but a few scattering
votes. They We're both Democrats, and the is
sue was purely local one. So with Represen-
tatiyes.
From the Superior Chronicle of the It'll inst
we take the following:
BAYFIELp.-Our young neighbor continues to
prosper, and bids fair to oc of some future i'm
portance. At the present time, Ii numbers nine
frame and four log houses complete, with four
more frame houses under erection. 1t also
boasts of three stores, very large mill,
and a warehouse and pier. 1t needs but news
paper to convince the world of its real existence,
and this deficiency will probably be supplied
next summer.
MAIL TO HuDsoy's BAY.-The Chronicle says:
In view of the rapid settlement of the couu-
try between the head of Lake Superior and the
Canadian line monthly mail has been cstab
llshed by our Government between those two
points. This service is gratefully appreciated
by the pioneers along the lake shore, and aside
from this, it bids fair be of important service
to our country.
The distance from Superior to Grand Port
age, (the termination of the present mail

| JOHN c. FREMoSr.-The venerable Quincy,
one OF the sterling patriots of New England
says:
He comes whence great men usually do come,
from the mass Of the people. Nursed in diff
cnItleS, praciSed III 5urInountIng them; wise l..
council; fall of resources; sclf-possessed in fa

this Union from diSsolution to restore the Con-
s'Itution to its original purity, and to relieve
