Tho snip building Interest OF Fremont.
II has become evident from examination
by competent Ship-buildcrs that this town
is the most natural point on tho whole chain
Of Lakes for the construction Of Sail Vessels
and Propcllers--from the fact that VIC have
the right kind Of timber in our forests, and
enough Of il 10 build feet equal to her
Britanic Majesty's Then We are at the
head Of navigation on tho Sandusky River,
forty miles from the lake, making this n Sc
cure place for government purposes in time
Of war A fine farming country around us
makes this cheap and desirable place, fol
the great number Of men who would necos.
sarily be collected into the ship-yard from
abroad, 10 live. Then we are in communi-
cation with all parts Of tho country by the
G. & t. r. R., also the Fremont q Indiana
R. R. will when completed open an inexhaus
table supply of choice Locust timber, which
is at present procured in this vicinity and
sent to Milan by Railroad, to be used in the
construction Of U. s. Revorue Cutters nov
on the stocks at that place.
Now IL the advantages of this point hat
been developed fully there is not a reasona
bic doubt but we should have had ten gov
ernmcnt vessels on the stocks and ten o.
fifteen for private parties at Chicago anc
Buffalo.
Then is it not timo that the citizens o
Fremont wake up to sense Of tho great
ness Of their resources and make this towr
the grand ship-yard Of the west, whose briggs
schooners and clippers shall yet dance owe
the waves of every cline. Our field o
commerce is an extended one, VIC can builC
vessels here, load them with frcights pro
duced in our vicinity and send them to an,
market wo choose in the world. The st
Lawrence being navigable by the improve
ments of our Canadian brothers, one vesse
has passed from Chicago to Liverpool.
The way is open for us to become towr
of commercial wealth. We have the en-
terprise and the facilities, we want union o
action to secure the object.

THE MAILS

The ircgularity of the mails about these
days is enough to make saint use naugh-
ty words; as for sinners they swear outright,
and worse than the army did in Flanders.
A daily New York paper comes about three
times week. Sometimes letter is nine
days on tho road between here and New
York. The opinion hero is that the fault is
in the Cleveland Post Office, and it is con-
templated among our business men to get
up a remonstrance for the consideration oi
the Department at Washington. We sup
pose Gray the Cleveland p. NJ. is so occu
pied with seeking the Office of P. M. Gen
cral, that he cannot attend to his duties at
home. From such Postmaster Genera

A LA BRooKs AT CoLUMBUs.--Mr. Slough
Member from Cincinnati in the House
struck Mr.. Caldwell of Ashtabula, a violent
blow in the face, while making remarks. A
committee was appointed to look into the
matter. On the 10th Mr. Slough read an
apology to the House for the breach of Or
der in his assault on Mr.. Caldwell, but dis
claimed any apology to Mr.. c. His apol-
ogy as a whole was considered very lame
one by members generally. The committee
in his case will probably report on Tuesday.

Tho virginia Free Blacks 10 be Enslavcd

From the richmond ('a.) Examiner Jan o.
They Northern mem are only ripening
the Southern mind for the alternative ofre-
ducing again to bondage the free negro
whom we have emoncipated in a mistaken
feeling Of humanity.
Disagreeable as this alternative may be to
the South, it is rapidly becoming more and
more measure Of necessity and projection
against the effect of Abolitionist tampcrings
with the blacks of the South. There arc
in Virginia alone upwards of $4,000 free
negroes, who are for the most part dronos on
our society, who if employed Southwark in
the cultivation of cotton would add many
millions of dollars TO our annual product of
national wealth, and ,oho if sold at the
moderate sum ofS40o a head for the bene-
fit of the State Treasury, ,0odd produce a
find of 100000, 900 for the prosecution Of
internal Improvements.
Oh, Virginia How art thou fallen !
Comment on the above is unnecessary.

The Legislature Of Iowa. at its session in
1865, consisted Of 65 Republicans and 40
Democrats--giviDg a republican majority Of
Q on joint ballot. Tho Republicans had 10
majority in tho House; the Democrats
majority in tho Senate. After several un-
successful attempts, joint session was had.
Failing fan election on several ball,ts, they
adjourned to later day, when Mr.. Harlan
was elected to fill tho vacant scat Of Mr..
Dodge in the U. s. Senate Gov. Grimes
gavc him the usual Certificate of Election.
The Democratic members Of the Senate,
however, had nearly all staid away from the
second meeting Of the joint Convention; and
three days after they passed formal Pro
test against the election, on the ground Of
informality.
When Mr.. Harlan presented his crcdent-
ials TO the U. s. Senate at Washington, in
December, this Protest was also presented
by Mr.. Mason. But having the official Ger
tifficate Of election he was allowed TO take
tho oath and his seat, leaving the validity
of his claim to be discussed afterwards.
II was partly discussed last Spring, bu,
no conclusion was arrived Mt, and Mr.. Har
Ian sat during the Session, performing al
the duties Of Senator
The Senate this Winter re-opening tho
matter, determined to oust him from tn,
seat which was accordingly done. It's nc
ton in this case will probably be made
precedent in similar cases hereafter.
1t will not materially affect Mr. Harlan
for as the Legislature of Iowa is strongl,
Republican in both branches, and is now il
session; he will probably be reelected with
out even going home.

THE TARIFF.-The Washington correspon-
dent of the Boston advertiser says:
at is generally agreed now that the strug-
gle upon the general subject of modifying
the tariff, including wool, railroad iron aud
sugar as free, shall commence on the First
Tuesday of January, and continue until the
question is disposed of. The opposition to
free wool is much more decided than has
been supposed. Wool growers arc opera
ting silently, but judiciously and with pow
er. The iron interests are pursuing the
Same course"

Inquiry.

The Penitentiary Case--A Committee OF
Inquiry.
Il will be secn by reference to our report
of1the House proceedings, that yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Mendcnliall offered resolu-l
aion TO make inquiry into an alleged outrage
said 70 have bccu perpctrated upon n pris-
oner in the Ohio Penitcntiary. The rcso-
luton was adopted and the inquiry will be
made. For the information of our readers
we,,will state that the following facts are cx-
pectedto be proved; that prisoner who en-.
tered the Penitrntiary year or two ago,
had very weak eyes. He could SEQ to read
coarse print, and could SEQ 10 work. The
late prison physician one day told him that
he could improve his sight and would per-
form an operation. The prisoner consented
and fbe operation was performed on ono eye,
the effect of which was that the eye became
wholly sightless. Some time afterwards
the same physician saw him in the prison,
and told him he intended to try another OPP
Grafton upon the other eye. The prisoner
objected, and said that one eye had been lost
by the previous operation, ard the re
ynaining one might be. He regarded il as
100 great risk for him to run, and declined
having an operation performed. The ply
sieian determined il should be performed
called 10 his aid several cf the keepers, and
had the man seized, placed in n chair, and
held there by main strength, until he per.
formed tho operation. The result Of which
mas been that tho prisoner lost tho sight d
The other eye, aud he ], stone blind for life
These are the outlines Of the facts as the,
harc been told to US, and which the Com
,nittee expect to substantate by their inves
tigaiion.---Sfate Journal

EFFECT OF A SINGLE INCH OF RAIN
In Lieut.. Maury's physical Geography
of the Sea-" he computes the effect of a
single inch Of rain falling upon the At
lantic-an area of twenty-five millions Of
square miles. Suppose an inch of rain
to fall upon only on one-ffth of this vast
expanse. 1t would weigh, says Lieut..
NJ, three hundred and sixty thousand
millions of tons. 1t might fall in day;
but occupy what time it might in falling,
this rain is calculated to exert an incon-
ceiyable force, in disturbing the equili-
brium of the ocean. If all the water dis
charged by the Mississippi river during
the year were taken up in one mighty
measure, it would not make greater
disturbance in the equilibrium of the sea
than the fall of the rain supposed. And
yet, SO gently are the operations of ma
| ture, that movements vast are unper-
ceived.

The MAELsrRoM-This famous whirl-
pool, SO well known to every schoolboy
as the greatest sucker in the world, bids
fair to be shorn of all its terrors, as science

have been informed by European ac-
quaintance that the maelstrom has no ex-
istence. A nautical and scientific COM
mission went out and sailed all around and
all over where the maelstrom was said to
be, but could not find it the sea was as
smooth where the whirlpool ought to be
as any other part of the German ocean" "
