full of de icous fish, large tracts of the finest
meadow land, and soil Of unsurpassed fer
tility. Then again, there are very few
sloughs about here, so that settlers can come
quite early in the season, because the roads
are for the most part excellent, which is Of
itself a great advantage to q place. Of the
natural beauties 1 have said little, as many
persons do not care much about them, provi-
ded they can obtain the more practical adj
vantages | have just referred to. Yet to me
the charms of landscape, combining such
views as are to be found in this neighbor-
hood, especially around Fairy Lake: are more
attractive than anything else. However,
both classes of settlers can be accommoda-
ted, and nowhere else in Minnesota are so
many advantages in every point of view COM
bined as are here presented. Not more than
dozen claims are as yet taken up, and those
by very superior class of settlers, who in
tend to make this their permanent home, so
that there is here afforded probably the best
chance for a truly desirable location to be
found in any portion Of the Territory. !.
But 1 must now pause, and in my next ar
ticle will relate what we saw and did during
our sojourn at Kandotta, with some remarks
respecting the climate &c., of this part of
Minnesota. Z 8.b 7., e .as w.

Mr.. Broderick said, while he agreed with
Messrs. Douglas and Stuart in most of their
remarks, there was one point on which he
wished to say few words. When Cove: nor
Walker and Secretary Stanton went to Kan
sas, they found state of instruction exist
ing there, and succeeded with great labor in
restoring peace, He thought the President
and his Cabinet were alone responsible for
the late outbreaks. This was the first time
he had known the President to descend from
his high position to attempt to coerce peace
able citizens to the will of illegal party men.
He was ready to disagree with his party for
he believed he had rendered as much service
in the election Of Mr.. Buchanan as anv pen.
tlcman on the floor. He was also somewha,
astonshed at the forbearance Of the peonle
of Kansas toward the delegates 10 the Con.
vent'on. If the people had fiogged them, cut
their ears Oft and sent them out of the Tor.
rltory, he would have applauled them for It
tie would not make any extended remarks
now, but II the Lecompton Constitution
shouid ever be presented to the Senate, he
might have something to say about it then
he would remark that be was no free-soiler.
In his. own State, his most bitter opponents
were Republicans. u.a. '-olH 1l7ff .
MIR. Brown gave notice that be should ex-
press his views after the holidays, but would
say now, that if the late election in Kansas
was q fair one, as lie hoped it was, in which
all parties had been allowed, freely and with
out hindrance, to participate, and Kansas
should ask admission as free State, he stood
upon the record in favor Of her admission
ii, on the contrary, she should ask admission
as a slave State, he hoped his friends on the

A WORD TO THE WsE-The steamer Paci
fc, as indicated by the memoranda, met with
an accident to her machinery soon safter she
left Victoria, which obliged her to put back
1t is stated by some of her passengers that
she was leaking badly, and that many who
had taken passage remained at Victoria, un-
willing to take the chances in her, fearing
perhaps another risk like that incurred on
board the Commodore. The Pacific is known
to lie one of the fastest steamships on this
coast, perhaps the very fastest; but it is no.
torious that she has not been as carefully
kept in repair as some other ocean steamers
which could be mentioned. The winter
months are upon US, when the Northern
coast--one of the most inclement known
should be navigated by only the staunehest
of vessels, especially if freighted with human
lives Many a tremendous gale must be en-
countered before the return of the summer
months, and every steamer intended for the
bosterous navigation between San Francisco
and the North should be rendered as strong
and safe as wood, iron and human skill can
make them. A word to the wise, &c.-S. f.

A gentleman travelling in the mines, stopped
at place where they sold drinkables, and
called for some brandy. It was poured out
for him, but he hesitated about drinking it.
" Why" said he, "this is liquor" and turning
around to darkey, who was sitting in a

An INCTDEYT-A touching case was pre-
sented yesterday to the consideration and
charity of one of the good Samaritans who
take care of the sick, relieve the destitute,
and feed the starving. A boy was discoved
in the morning, lying in the grass of Clai-
borne street, evidently bright and intelligent,
but sick. A man who has the feelings of
kindness strongly developed went to him,
shook him by the shoulder, and asked him
what he was doing there "Waiting for God
to come for me" said he. "What do you
mean? said the gentleman, touched by the
pathetic tone of the answer, and the condi-
tion of the boy, in whose eye and flushed face
he saw the evidences of the fever "God sent
for mother, and father, and little brother
said he, "and took them away to his home up
in the sky; and mother told me, when she
was sick, that God would take care of me-
have no home, nobody to give me anything,
and so | came out here, and have been look
ing so long up in the sky for God to come
and take care of me, as mother said he would.
He will come won't he? Mother never told
me a lie" "Yes, my lad" said the man, over
come with emotion, che has sent me to take
care of you" You should have seen his eyes
flash, and the smile of triumph break over his
face. as he said, Mother never told me lie,
sir; but you've been so long on the way
What lesson of trust, and how this incident
shows the effect of never deceiving children
with idle tales AS the poor mother expec-
ted when she told her son "God would take
care of him." he did, by touching the heart
of this benevolent man with compassion and
love to the little stranger.-N o. Delta.

The 1Eaneral wealth of rsschssan.

The Detroit Weekly .Advertiser gives
some very interesting information on this
subject-the result of the.patient labors Of
DR.. Houghton and other gentlemen, who
have been engaged in developing the riches
of that State. Michigan contains coal, and
Ia the neighborhood of Sandstone. two hun
dred and fifty tuns have been raised during
the past season. The coal is of good quality,
and the working is safe and easy. The beds
outcrop for hundred miles or more on the
Grand riVe2, and from more recent discOve-
Iies would seem to =exSe1l To the Straits of
Mackinaw. Quantities have been sold in
jackson county at s3 per tun, and when
some system is employed in the mining, it is
expected to be much cheaper. The State is
working shaft by convict labor in the pris-
On Of Jackson.
Copper occurs frequently in the upper
peninsula, and silver has also been found to
a considerable extent. Camel coal has been
discovered in Jackson county which makes a
most excellent gas.

VICE PRESIDENT BBEcKENRIDGE.-ItW was
stated before Mr.. Breckenridge took his seat
as President Of the Senate, which be did not
do until several weeks after the assembling
of fCongress, that he was decidedly opposed
to the President in his Kansas policy
Since, however. he has been in his seat. it
is said that he has maintained a rigid, un-
bending reserve upon this matter, quite in
contrast with his general character for frank.
ness. Mr.. Breckenridge has left his scat for
the present and gone to New Orleans, and it
is said that no man in Washington can say
whether he is for OF against Lecompton. Il
it is argued from this studied silence that he
IS opposed to the Administration but, being
so Intimately connected with 1t by position
and social relations, he does not feel at lib
erty to embarrass its action. The conclusion
is certainly very reasonable one.

MICHAEL BRENAN-The most noticeable
item Of the California news published in our
teIegraphic columns, is the murder of his
wife and three children, and subsequent sui
eide, by Michael Brennan, President of the
Mount Hope Mining Company. Mr. Brennan
was one of the richest, and, we believe, by
for the richest man in California, whose
property counted high up in the millions of
dollars. He was one of the early pioneers
Of California, and was remarkably successful
in his acquisition Of wealth. But, let the
seekers after money take notice by his mis-
erable fate, that great wealth is by no means
a certain panacea for human happiness, and
by no means prevents a person from sinking
into the depths Of dependency and misery.

The Level of she Greas Makes.

There is said to be mysterious rise and
fall of the level Of the great American lakes,
which has long occupied the attention of
many scientific men. In addition to the va
riations which depend upon the changes of
seasons, there is also local, ftful. irregular
oscillation, of a few inches to few feet, not
to be predicted, its period of oscillation be-
ing from three to five minutes, and which
continues from one to twenty-four hours
In the course Of several years. observations
no wave has been seen over two feet in hight
in stormy weather, and in calm weather over
one and one-h half fact The average interval
has been found to be four and one e-half min
utes. The waves invariably come in from
the open sea, in a line parallel with the
shore. The phenomenon has not yet been
accounted for, but Col. Charles Whittlesey,
of Cleveland, Ohio, who has recently pub
lished pamphlet on the subject, thinks that
the causes are to be sought in the electro
magnetic changes Of the atmosphere.

10 By the most recents accounts from
Europe, we learn that both Of the two Amer
lean companies, which had formed contracts
to raise the sunken ships at SeYastopol, have
given up the project. as quite impracticsble.
The halls Of these sunken vessels have been
rendered completely useless by the toredo of
the Black Sea, Some oc these vessels were
caulked and made seemingly sight for the
purpose of pumping out the water prior to
the act of raising them, but rhe timber was
afterwards found so rotten that the water
run through it Ikea seive. The anchors
and cables raised are sufficient to cover some
of the expenses ofthe companies, but not the
whole. No less than eighty one vessels were
sunk, and some Of these were eighty gun

HyDRoPHoB1A.-A writer in the National
Lntetligtecer says that spirits Of hartsborn
is certain remedy for the bite Of mad dog.
The wound, he adds, should be constantly
bathad with it, and three or four doses, dilu-
ted, taken inwardly during the day. The
hartshorn decomposes, chemically, the virus
insinuated into to wound, and Immediately
alters and destroys its deleteriousness. The
writer, who resided in Brazil for some time,
first tried it for the bite of a scorpion, and
found that it removed pain and Inflammation
almost instantly. Subsequently, be tried it
for the bite of rattlesnake, with similar
success. At the suggestion of the writer, an
old friend and physician tried it In cases OF
of hydrophobia, and always with success.
