A GREAT PRODUCT.-Wool has become one of
the largest staple products of the country, and the
young State of Michigan ranks among the first as
a wool-growng country The Detroit Free Press
gives some exceedingly interesting statistics N
reference to this subject. We learn by that paper
that since the first of June the amount brought by
the different railroads to Detroit has exceeded
2,25O,0OO pounds, much larger amount than was
brought in during the whole of last year; and the
entire clip of the State is estimated threeanda
half millions of pounds. The clip this year is
said to be of unusual good quality, and the price
paid averaged about 43 cents. This gives large
income to the farmers of Michigan.

VESSELS IN THE NAvY.-At the close of the
present summer the American Navy will comprise
ten ships of the line, ten frigates, twenty-one
slOOps-ot-war, three briggs, one schooner, thirty
seven screw-steamers of different grades. three
store ships, and five receiving ships; tota! ninety
nine vessels. This is about one-seventh as many
as are in the English, one-ffth as many as are
in the French and Austrian and little more than
one-tourth as many as are in the Spanish navy;
yet, except the first named power, we have more
sea coast to guard, and probably a more numerous
merchant marine to protect, than all other nations
named taken together.

THE JEWS IN AMERICA-From a lecture
delivered by DIR. Morris j. Franklin in Providence,
on Sunday evening, and reported in the Providence
Evening Press, we gather some facts in relation to
the Jews in the United States. The Jews in this
country, the speaker said, now numbered about
two hundred thousand The attention of the Jews
i'll Europe is turned towards America, on account
of the persecution to which they are objected in
some countries the continent and a rapid
increase of their numbers here may be expected
by immigration. Many Jews in this country are
occupying prominent and influential positions in
politics and Observation-Disclosures. Yulee and Benjamin,
of the |. S. Senate, and Messrs Zolcotfer, Oliver
Phillips and Hart, of the National House of
Representatives, numbered among the children
Of Abraham.

Mr. AND MRs SICKLEs.-Mrs H. o. G.. Hcwett,
Southern lady, formerly of Mississippi, is out
with an elaborate defence of the reconciliation of
Mr. aud Mrs Sickles We give specimen, as we
find it in the Merchants Record
And Mrs Sicklcs, she may be blessing to
many. Rahab, the worst of women mentioned in
sacred history, was saved, with all her family,
when the city of Jerico was taken, and no other
souls were saved-her faith and good deeds justi-
led her. There is more rejoicing III heaven over
one SINNER that repenteth than over the ninety
and nine that went not astray.
Mrs Sickles, though sold like poor little Joseph,
has it in her power to be deliverer from evil,
through grace, and minister of good to aching
hearts and erring sisters. We should rejoice that
one man, at least has dared to do right-to return
to his wife; and erring wife has preferred to
take her own husband in preference to those who
would gladly have her separated from him, in Or
der that they might try to get her! The vomit-
ing up of their chagrin at the just disappointment
would be amusing if it were not in such a serious
cause. Cannot some one recommend a panacea
for their distress?

From Alta California, Dec. 20.
The London 7SmsS city article in showing the
prevalent policy in France on the question Of .
war with England, quotes as the chief authority
for It's opinions from q respectable French revisw
publisbed in London, in which il Is stated that
that in France the prospect Of war with Eng
land Is necessarily discussed in high places q
power, IN the public Offices, in the army, in the
navy, and among the working classes and men
Of business. --------.---..
The army is reported as unanimous for war,
and in the navy the desire for Il amounted to a
frenzy. rl. .e,s Y,
The church Is As eager as either army or navy.
The conclusions drawn are, that in war with
England the French Empire has the power Of
satisfying the army and navy, Of gratifying the
Clergy, Of winning over the Legitamisis, and So
curing the suffrage Ct united people. $3.50
