The LOSSES OF WALKER IN NICARAGUA.
"A Nicaragua correspondent of the New

has been in that country he has received not
far from 5000 men. Of these about fourteen
hundred are now living, which makes his
whole loss 5000. All concur in saying that
the graveyards and pits of Granada contain

THE LAKE SUPERIOR CoUNrRY-Pub-
lie attention in Michigan is being directed
towards the resources of the Northern part
of that State bordering on Lake Superior.
An Address before the Michigan Legislature,
lately delivered by C. T Harvey Of Ontona-
gon, embraced some Interesting facts con-
corning that region. During the season of
1856, just closed, there were shipped through
the Sault canal to Detroit and the eastward,
ten millions four hundred and Fifty two thou
sand pounds Of copper, worth in the raw
state over two and quarter millions of dol
lars. This shows an Increase of shipments
of some 81 per cent. over 1855. During the
same period there were II 900 tuns of iron
ore sent through Ahe canal, which was an in
crease of 800 PERCENT over the shipments
of 1855, when only 400 tuns were sent
down; and lo,O4d tuns of bloom iron, which
was an increase o. IS per cent.
The business eastward through the canal,
of mineral and 6.h exported from the lax e,
according to the estimate Of the superiEtend-
ent, amounted to s..s75. 900; while the i'm
ports Of merchandise and supplies wa, in
round numbers $4,000, 900, making total
of S5.S75,O0O. OF this he calculated full
$4,000, geo was the commerce of Upper Mich
isan. This trade has sprung up within the
last fifteen years.
The iron interest Mr.. Harvey considers
the greatest interest Of Michigan. and vet
there are but four iron establishments in one.
ration. While the best ore of England pro-
duces Al 4l-l00 per cent, the best ore of
France 81 s9-lop per cent, and the best ore
of Illinois Sc 2toO per cent of pure iron,
Lake Superior produces 50 1900. Swedish
iron OF the best quality in strength equals
$4,000 pounds per sqnare inch; Lake Supe-
Fior equals ss,5s2 pounds per square inch.
With proper facilities there could be shipped
from Marquette next year 80, 900 tuns of iron
ore : in 1853. 100000 tuns and in ten years.
at least 100000 tuns per annum. The coun-
try from Wyandotte northward to Saginaw
Bay, will eventually become the great iron
mandatory of the northwest One thou
sand more furnaces are now wanted to sup
ply the demand for iron, and Michigan could
have them if active; if not, other States
would get the prize. All that was now need
ed was railroad facilities.

THAT'S RIGHT.

At The late term Of the Court Of Common
PlsIS Of this county, indictments were found, BY
TIE Grand Jury, against a number of persons for
sailing Intoxicating liquors in violation Of law.
Well, we are glaI of it. 1t is high time some
thing was being done to arrest the progress of this
bIighting curse in our county, If any other evil
had existed in our midst, carrying with it the long
train Of curses that this docs, long ago would it
have len tramplrd beuelth the feet Of Justice
But, strange to say, this hydra,headed monster
has been permitted to "stalk abroad at noohday,"
without rebuke or chastisement. Although soci-
ETY. is made to feel its deadly, damning influence,
yet it raises not its voice nor its arm against it,
Although the hearts Of wives, mothers and fnmi-
lies are. crushed beneath its wrel king grasp, they
dare not openly luurmur nor complain; but, with
their hands upon their mouths. are compelled to
hide their grief at their own ireside'. Although
tho poisonous cup is put to the lips Of our friends
AMI neisbbors, and they hurled, from a position
of responsibility and honor. to degred .tion and
ruin, yet we dare not put forth our hand and dash
that cup aside. Now, why is this the case!
Simply because Of a fear CT givin! offence. -
A fear to stand by the side of virtue and WELD
an influence in opposition to vice aud wrong.
1t is true, at times Il portion of community will
rise up aud grid themselves to war in defence Of
humanity; but it is as the titiul fash darting from
tae brow Of iLo storm, which only for an instant
lights up the armament, aud then caves the dark
ness more hileious than before.
If every lover Of right aud virtue would fear
lessly avow and maintain their principles-if SO
ciety would put her foot upon this monster, as she
has done with evils that were meager, compared
with lift every effort was put forth that
could in any way aid in "%ierreting out and bring
ing to Justice those who deal out the poisonous
draught to their fellow men, then would homes, now
dark and cherries, be lit up with smiles of joy and
love; and hearts, that now are sad, would rejoice
to see the waves Of vice receeding and the foun-
tains Of peace and happiness gushing up in their
stead. sa.n
