THE "IRREPREssIBLE CON-
FLICT'' BEGUN.

The irrepressible conflict" announced
by Mr.. Seward has begun. 1t began at
Harper's Ferry, in Virginia, in the same
practical way that has been so thorough
ly inculcated of late by Mr.. Stewards par
tisans-in a seryile insurrection. The
United States government vas to be sub
verted, and provisional government es-
tablsLed in its place. One of the black
republican leaders of Kansas, who there
made war upon defenceless men and wo-
men, finding his occupation gone in that
quarter, now turns up as leader in this
instruction, being aided and abetted by
well-known partisans al the North. Now
is seen the full meaning Of the expression
Gerrit Smith used in the letter he wrote
a few weeks since endorsing Mr.. Stewards
doctrine, " We may look for instruction
any day, any month, any year." 1t seems
that he was at that very time connecting
this very instruction with Brown. The
last heard of this Ossawatomie Brown
before he turned up at Harpcr's Ferry, he
had run off a number of slaves from
Missouri, and brought them to Windsor,
opposite this city, where they arc now
begging from door TO door for the bread
TO keep them alive. The act was highly
applauded by the black republican Sheets
and Brown himself was greatly lionized
by the faithful here in the city. He has
now merely entered upon the second step,
the natural consequence of the other {;
shall we expect TO see him lauded as he
was before? The whole black republican
party, in accepting the "irreprcssible con-
fict" of Mr.. Seward, accepted the very
conflict which has opened at Harper's
Ferry. Will they follow it 10 its legiti-
mate results, or will fhey back out?

serious and desperate enough to excite
the spectators 10 something like pitch
of frenzy. The next moment the mari
mes poured in, the firing ceased, and the
work was done; while cheers rang from
every side, the general feeling being that
the Marines had done their part admira-
bly,.
When the insurgents were brought out,
some dead and others wounded, they
were greeted with excavations, and only
the precautions that had been taken
saved them from immediate execution
The crowd, nearly every man Of which
carried a gun, swayed with tumultuous
excitement, and cries of Shoot them y
Shoot themr' rang from every side.--
The appearance of the liberated prisoners,
all of whom, through the steadiness of the
marines, escaped injury, changed the cur
rent of feeling, and prolonged cheers took
the place of bowls and excavations.
In the assault, private Ruffert Of the
Marines, received ball in the stomach
and was believed to be fatally wounded
Another received slight flesh wound.
The lawn in front of the engine-house
after the assault, presented dreadful
sight. Laying on it were two bodies O.
men killed on the previous day, and found
inside the house; three wounded men
one of them just at the last gasp of life
and two Others grooming in pain. One o
the dead was Browns son. Ottway, thu
wounded man, and his son Watson, were
laying on the grass; the father presented
a CORY spectacle. He had severe bay
onet wound in his side, and his face anC
hair were clothed with blood.
Thus terminated the conflict. Cool
escaped and has not yet been taken, al
though reward of $4,000 was immedi
ately offered for his apprehension. Capt
Brown and several others, deluded vic

keep her clear. At quarter before sew
en- the water had gained on her SO much
as to cxtinguish the fires in her boilers.
This soon stopped her engines, and the
unfortunate vessel was left at the mercy
Of the wind and waves.
The Captain exhibited the greatest
sef-possession, rs did the first mate and
some of the other officers, but the crew
became unmanageable with fright, and
refused to obey orders. The passengers
were terror-stricken as they saw an awful
death slowly approaching, and although
the officers attempted to pacify them, and
assured them that all would yet be well,
they only exhibited the more consterna-
ton. 1t is not probable that any Of them
were saved. The mate states that when
he last saw the life-boat it was rolling
about on the waves, perfectly at their mer-
cy, its occupants having no means what
ever to guide it. 1t probably foundered
with all who were in it.
A dispatch was published yesterday
from Port Sarnia, to the effect that five
additional persons had been rescued
This lacks confirmation. The Forest
Queen came down from Saginaw yester-
day and passed near the scene of the
wreck, but saw no traces of the vessel or
the boats. The party who were saved,
and who came down yesterday, knew
nothing of any other persons being saved.
The names of the lost can only be ascer-
tanned at Racine, if at all, as all the books
and papers of the propeller were lost.
Mr.. Raice, of Racine, and his family,
were removing to the East. Their effects
had been sent forward on another propel-
Ter, and are probably now at Buffalo await
ing a claimant. The family were all
placed in the life-boat, which is all that is
known of them.
The vessel, with her cargo, was fully
insured. OF course she is total loss.--
At the place where she went down the
water is probably twenty-five or thirty
fathoms deep. AS she sunk her upper
works separated from her hull and float
ed off. but were soon shattered TO pieces
by the force of the sea. She was an old
vessel, but was considered perfectly safe
and seaworthy. Indeed, it does not seem
that any lack of strength in the vessel
caused the fearful calamity, which alone
can be attributed to the terrible violence
of the elements. The mate, who is an
old sailor on the lakes, states that he new
or experienced moro terrific gale.
The three men saved have desired us
TO state that they were received in Cana
da with the utmost kindness and hospi-
tality, and every attention paid to their
wants. They were supplied with dry
clothing, and made comfortable in every
respect. They proceeded to Chicago last
night by the Michigan Central Railroad,
the company having furnished them with
free passes.

TIE GREAT EAsTERN.-The directors
Of the Great Eastern finally decided that
the ship should not 60 to Southampton
but should leave Portland on her trial
trip Oct 8, arriving at Holyhead about
the 18th. If the trial was successful il
was intended to dispatch the vessel to
America on the goth. No passengers
were 10 be taken on the trial trip. 1t
was said that the maximum number Of
revolutions would be obtained from both
engines before proceeding to sea with
passengers. During the trip from the
Thames the paddles never exceeded 81
and the screw 80 revolutions per minute,
and TO obtain the maximum speed the
paddles must go IA revolutions.
The N. Y. Times learns that the ex.
tension OF the Great Eastern's voyage
TO New York has been definitely decided
upon, the route through the Sound and
the East River having been selected as
the safer approach.

From the Muskegon Reporter
Allegan, Muskegon and Traverse bay
state Road.

Two weeks ago wc mentioned Tho fact
TINT Mr.. Andrews, one OF the Commis-
sioners of this road, aud Surveyor Mix,
with bis party, were at that time on the
line of the road near White Lake, ready
10 rccommence their survey. Mr. Hen
derson, another of the Commissioners,
was here about that time, and left for Lam
sing, where he expected 10 meet Commits
sioner Edmonds, and procure the neces-
sarv maps and field notes, when they
would return and join their party, and
vigorously prosecute the survey of the
road. AS yet VIC have heard nothing
further from the Commissioners, but hope
TO see Messrs. Edmonds aud Henderson
on their return, and learn from them 9TH
er important particulars.
We understand that the Commission
crs of the other State roads for which
provision was made by our Legislature at
its last session, have already advertised TO
let contracts for the building of the same,
and wo hope that the contracts for the
building of this road will be let at the
earliest day possible. The coming win
tcr.will be most favorable time for let
ting contracts and prosecuting the work
on this road, as the numbering business is
much depressed, laboring men plenty, and
willing to work for low wages; and fur
nishing business for the unemployed labor
ers through the winters thus enabling them
TO provide for their families, that might
otherwise be destitute, would confer bless
ings on thousands.
When the cry of hungry men and fam
ishing women and children came from the
counties of Gratiot and Isabella, last
winter, calling upon the Legislature for
relief they disclaimed being paupers or
beggars, but they said, "give us soork,
and we will repay you ALL" Their mon
ey was invested in improvements on new
farms in sparsely settled region; their
crops had failed, and they were suffering
with hunger. Could those men then
have been furnished with employment,
peace and plenty would have reigned, in
stead of suffering and starvation.
We feel assured that our State Road
Commissioners and State officers will see
TO il that there shall be no recurrence Of
such suffering so long as there are roads
to construct, swamp lands TO drain, and
money or provisions enough in the State
10 pay therefor.

DEMOCRACY OF MICHIGAN.

That there is something wrong in the
management of our party affairs in this
State has been but too evident for long
time. Some of our contemporaries think
ing the fault lay at the door of the State
Central Committee have pitched into
that body most valiantly-more especial
" the chairman, Mr.. SHOEMAKER. But
for ourself we have never been able TO
discover any thing in the action or want
of action, of the Committee, that could
not most readily be attributed to errors
Of judgment, and as such they are blame
less.
The Port Huron Commercial, in an
article which we copy this week, no
doubt has got on the "right track" of all
our difficulties. We commend the ar
ticle 10 the careful perusal of every read
er, and we trust that the people, the rank
and file of the party, will raise in their
majesty and assume the management of
their own atfairs-dispense with these
spoilsmen, who are sacrificing our every
interest to secure to themselves the "hesh
pots" of the general government-and
send to the Charleston Convention those
only who will truly represent the people,
and whose integrity is above any suspi
cion of being bribed by the paltry bau-
bles of the Executive.
We shall recur to this subject again:

From San Juan Island.
CAMP SIMEAnMoo, w. T
Sept. 3, 1859.


In regard to the San Juan Island affair,
/ would say there are six companies on
the Island under Gen. Harvey, and he
has ordered three more TO join him i'm
mediately. There are three English ships
--s--------.i IL :>l~.,l
Governor Douglas has ordered the
Americans off the island, and has given
them twenty days to consider, but Gen.
Harvey dares them to put him off. The
English made an attempt to land in boats
from their ships one night last week,
when Gen. Harvey brought his guns to
bear on them, and said he would blow
them out of the water if they came any
nearer to the island; so the brave John
Bulls backed down, as they usually do
when there is any pluck shown them. -
The twenty days time is up to-day that
Gov. Douglas gave them TO leave the
island. We shall sec what he is going to
do. You may be sure, at any rate, that
Gen. Harvey will not give up the island
unless they put him off; and TO do that
they must fight him, as the island un-
doubtedly belongs TO the Americans
Any one who looks at the map can SEQ
it is on the American side of the line (;
and that they will keep it, too, is the
hope Of every American here.
