The Washington Union having asked for gen.
eral expression Of Southern opinion, in favor or
against Douglass regards the issue of the pending
Illinois canvass, the Courier of yesterday morning
expresses itselEin this wise:
We Join the Union in the hope that the Southern
press generally will freely give its opinion on the
Douglas controversy, and say whether they prefer
douglas TO Lincoln The Union says it does not.
we and other Southern papers say we do emphat
cally do. We hope the Southern press will sneak
out freely and fully.
Every journal ia New Orleans we believe has ex-
pressed itself in favor of Douglas as against Lincoln
large majority Of the country papers, without dis
tinetion Of party, also prefer Douglas to Lincoln
Hence so far as the press represents public opinion
the people Of Louisiana overwhelmingly in favor
Of Douglas in his present struggle against that malig
nant Abolitionst, Hon. Abraham Lincoln. The same
thing may be said of the press Of the cotton States
generally But, in order that the Union may be fully
satisfied we trust all Southern Journals will promptly
make their preferences known.
The closing paragraphs fthe Couriers article are
rather significant than otherwise We append them =:
We rather fancy that the cat which the Union hl d
been eonceang SO cuuningly Is let out Of the bag in
the paragraph about the Charleston Convention.
There is prevailing fear in this part of the country
that the Union is not representing the interest
Of the Administration, hut ii devoted to the personal
interests oil some people who are scheming for their
own private advantage, and who are trying to de-
stroy Mr. Douglas Tor their own private purposes re-
gatdless OF the interests of the Democratic party
Many people have belief that the war on Douglas
in the Union is personal and private war and looks
TO the personal advantage of some particular self:
proposed candidate who intends to come before the
Charleston Convention. Therefore, among other rea
sons they are mortified and outraged at the course
OF the Union and therefore they are more and mere
st5engthened N their disposition to adhere to their

THE PROPOSED New STATE.-1Teeting upon the
Su5iect-A meeting was held at Ontonagon on the
18th ut,, says the Cincinnati Times, composed Of
delegates from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
and from those portions Of Wisconsin and Minnesota
bordering on Lake SUPERIOR for the purpose of con-
siderng the propriety of the formation Of Territory
out of the Lake Superior region of Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota, preparatory to the formation
of new State. This meeting was called some time
ago and was attended by delegates from all the diff,
ferent sections enumerated in the call.
committee Of eight was appointed by the con-
vention to draft an address to the Legislatures of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, urging upon
them the propriety and necessity of grant to tile
General Government Of their territory bordering on
Lake Superior, for the purpose of enabling the in.
habitants to form new Territory and this commit
tee instructed to submit their proceedings to the
convention which is to meet again on the llth inst
at Outonagon, for the purpose of considering them
In addition to this, a committee of three was APP
pointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense Of
the convention and their report was made at an ad.
journed meeting on the 18th. The resolutions are
devoted 70 setting forth of the reasons urged in
favor Of the project and with which the public are
already familiar,
There is little or no doubt that this movement will
succeed in few years, and that new Freesoil State
will thus be brought into the Union. We believe

her territory asked for,

DIRECT TRADE WITH EUROPE
s--
The Importance of direct trade with Europe is SC
patent and palpable and the theme has been 50 ably
and frequently descanted upon, that it would be a
work Of supererogation to enlarge upon it at this
time. Therefore We shall forbear giving heightened
expresson to our own views, and shall content our
selves withquoting literally from the London Cotton
Plant-a journal edited with mastery ability and
published in the commercial metropolis Of the civil
lied earth-and which should be in the hands OF
every cotton grower in the staple States.
la the issue of the Cotton Plant, of the 21st ult
We find an article headed " Direct Trade with the
\ Cotton States Of America The Port of Mobile
The article answers as pertinenty for the meridian
of New Orleans it does for that Of Mobile. Indeed
applicable to all the ports Of the cotton States
touches directly the interests of all the people of the
cotton region without regard to the avocations they
pursue-and should, therefore, be read by all parties
concerned. With this preliminary, we append as
much of the article in question as will suffice for the
object we have in view:
We are glad to learn that movement, based upon
European capital, to open up direct trade with the
port of Mobile is now being organized and that the
first steps in regard thereto may be taken at early

crat says that gu the night of the I'd inst. house
was blown over high bluff near that place. The
Democrat says:
The house was blown over the rock. and falling
about seventyive feet, was literally mashed topeces,
and, horrible to relate, Mrs GlensbecEle was killed
outright and her four little children were more or
less mangled, but not killed, though It is thought one
10 o'clock P, NJ. and soon after the alarm was Typn
the citizens rushed to the scene Of the disaster and
rescued the little sufferers from among the rubbish
and timbers. It is wonder that the children were
not all killed. The house stood on stills, as it were,
upon the very edge Of the rock, and the wind must
have lifted up and turned ii bottom upwards as it
seemed to strike upon the roof It IS thought that
Mrs Glensbeckle and her children were in bed and
asleep at the time of the awful occurrence.

Of rain and the early talk was dispensed with. Dun

more on the levee than elsewhere, as several boats
were discharging and receiving freights. The re
