The FISH TRADE.-Lake Michigan is quite
celebrated for the excellent quality of the fish
caught in its waters. One village-that of st.
Josephs, Michigan, has thirteen fishing smacks,
and the product this season has been an aggre-
gate, according to the Chicago Democrat, Of
O,l9O.half-barrels Of fish, netting the round
sum of $lOO,SOO, or nearly $4,000 TO each
boat. CAT New Buffalo, in the same county
about 1000 half-barrels have been caught the
present season, making $780, as the value
of the fishing interest of two villages alone for
single season." The principal portion of the
fish are white, though many are trout, and
other excellent varieties. Nearly every city
and village bordering on the lake has its fish,
ermen, and, could the statistics of the fish
trade of Michigan be collected, we have reason
to think that they would make an exhibit
somewhere in the vicinity of fifteen hundred
thousand dollars.

&g Ely S. Parker, Chief of the Six Nation
and an engineer in the employ of the Fedora
Government, at Galena, Illinois, started on ths
18th instant for Buffalo, to pay his annua
visit to the Six Nations, The Dubuque Herald
says: .-.
Captain Parker goes every year, divests him
self of the habiliments Of civilization, puts on
the garb of the Red Man, and as their Chief,
listens to their complaints, adjusts their griev-
ances, and harmonizes their diverse opinions.
Captain Parker looks about half. and half In
dian he is porty, as if fed upon turtle soup,
has dark but pleasant eye, long straight hair,
the copper complexion, highly softoned with
white, and generally does not present any ap
pearance suggestive of tomahawks or Scalpipg
knives.

OYSTERS AND THEIR ENEMIEs.--0ysters have
but three formidable enemies, namely: The
wire-worm or drill, tho insect which has honey

Eaton's Neck oysters; the star fish, and in
some countries the monkey, who, at low tide,
walks out to their beds, and thrIsting stone

out with his paw. We have heard the same
story related in regard to the crab and lob

Gem. MiIIson And Mr. Botts.

| A short time ago saw in one OF our South
western exchanges-we forget which paper it was
IA statement to the effect that Gen. Millson. in
the Democratic District Convention which non,i.
mated him. had paid high compliment to Mr..
Bot;s on account Of the opposition Of the latter
gentleman to the Kansas Nebraska Bill. The
statement appeared to be reasonable one-inas-
much rs Gen. Milson himself was opposed to that
bill and was one of the few Southern members of
Congress who voted against it. We made brief
editorial notice Of the iact--which notice was CO.
pied by several other papers, and among the rest
by the Alexandria Gazette.
The Norfolk Argus, upon the authority Of Gen,
Million himself, dcnic. the statement. We ac-
ccpt The denial and we regret that We cannot pre-
cisely recollect the paper from which we took the
item. Our impression il that it was tho Athens
(Trnncssee) Post. viii the Post be kind enough
20 inform us whether or not we are correct?
We take occasion to say, however, that Gen.
Mll,on might have made the remark attributed to
him. and that he would have done himself honor
III doing it. Norman ever spoke n truer word thnn
John Minor Bolts did when he said, in 1854, that
the Kansas Bill was IL Pandora's box from which
would issue nothing but evil We freely awarded
credit Ia Gen. Milson for n patriotic and gene
rous remark which we supposed be had made
IA he has dsnvowcd it. we rctract the eulocium
upon Gen. Mlson which was provoked by our
misupprehension of the facts in the case.

The Republican assures us that Mr.. Lynch did
vote for the present Constitution of Virginia, and
we therefore very checriully correct the statement

The MOVEMENTS or THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH
CoMPANY.-Reliablc information has been received
that the negotiations between the English govern
ment and the New York, Newfoundland, and
London Telegraph Company have reached point
which admits of no doubt about the government ;
guarantees of eight per cent. ON the six hundred
thousand pounds capital being accepted. In view
of this fact, We learn from the reliable
source that the Atlantic Company are actively en-
gagged in making the most thorough tests of the
various kinds Of cable adapted to tho Atlantic
line, and will be prepared to enter into TIE neccs-
sary contracts at an early day. In the meantime
the company have decided to expend II sum not
exceeding 100000 to resuscitate the present
cable aud active operations to this end will be
commenced as soon as the weather will permit
The heavy battery of Mr.. Henley, which arrived
at st. Johns, n. F. late last fall has not yet been
sent to the telegraph station ut Trinity Bay, owing
to the ice, but will be in position within the next
few weeks or days. The Atlantic Company will
not attempt to lay the new cable until July of
