Steamer Milwaukee.

We clip the following, concerning the
steamer Milwaukee, which recently went
ashore at Grand Haven, from the Sentinel ::
After all the alarm about the steamship
Milwaukee, we are glad to learn that there
is yet chance of her being got off safely
Mr.. Harry Bradford, the Clerk of the De-
troit, arrived here from Grand Haven on
Saturday, with the good news that up to the
time Of his leaving Grand Haven, the day
previous, although there had been a strong
wind and heavy sea from the west, the Mil
waukee had not been damaged in the slight
est, and there was every probability OF her
being got Oft as soon as proper assistance
arrived.
She lay easy on sandy bottom, her stem
facing the lake, moored to two heavy an.
chors to keep her from getting nearer the
shore. The story about eight feet of water
in her hold was all CANNON. Up to the
time Mr.. Bradford left Grand Haven, she
had not leaked drop of water. When she
was first beached, Capt Cross had her for
ward hold Immediately filled with water in
order to steady her. As soon as the an
chors were out and she was firmly secured,
this was pumped out, and since then single
drop of water has not entered her hold.
Mr.. Bradford informs US that he examined
the Milwaukee thoroughly himself, opened
every door, and be could not ascertain that
she had been strained in the least, or sim
gle timber started or displaced. This con-
firms our good opinion of the great strength
OF the Milwaukee, and gives US strong hopes
that she will be got off without injury.
LATER.-It was reported, on good author
ity, late Saturday night, that the Milwaukee
had been got of, all right, and that she had
not sustained the slightest damage: We
hope that such Is the case.

Iowa News.

The Muscatine Journal of the 26th meu-
tions that charivari party was tried at the
late term of the District Court in Washing
ton county, and six of them were fined and
imprisoned as follows: One for 30 days and
500 fine, three for IA days and $50 fine,
and two for days and $50. The charge
against them was not only for disturbance
of the newly welded pair by hideous noises,
but for ipjuring the house of the young
lady's father.
The Burlington Hd1okeye of Tuesday last,
mentions that the Burlington, Peoria and
Logansport Railroad is completed. The
last rail has been laid, and that city has now
a direct eastern road, and the shortest road
from the Mississippi to Pittsburg.
The Davenport Gazette of Tuesday, says
that last Saturday evening Mr.. Townsend
arrived on the eastern train accompanied by
20 young lads of from six to eight yeas of
age, who have been gathered from the Loor
classes of New York. Most of them were
bright and intelligent looking. Mr.. T. is
the father of the Rev. Mr.. Townsend, of the
Protestant Episcopal church, who has a
Mission School near Iowa City. The in
tention is to educate and find homes for the
children smong the farmers.

was implicated in an insurrectionary move
ment which burst out at Saragossa, and he
was exiled, Notwithstanding the most ener-
getic protests. After the triumph of the
Vicalvar!sts, he joined the liberal union
party. which for long time defended the
Espartero O'Donnell combination. When
he had to decide between these two chiefs,
he declared for the latter. To 1854 he was
appointed Commander in Chief of Artillery,
and some months afterwards he exchanged
that position for the Captain Generalship of
New CASTLE, which almost placed the fate
of Madrid in his hands, when O,Donnell
made the coup d'etot of July, 1856. Con-
queror of the insurrection at Prado and at
Retro, he some time after succeeded Ola.
zaga in the embassy to Paris. The misfor-
tune of ODonnell September, 1857 caused
his recall. Since then he united in the
Senate with all the Vicalvarist generals to
wage war against Narvaez, which so quickly
resulted in his downfall.

Sensible Talk.

The Providence Journal, Republican
newspaper of decided ability, holds language
in respect to John Browns crimes and John
Browns sympathizers and admirers, which
we are sorry to say, finds but very feeble
echo in most of the journals of that party.
Says that paper
We concede very sincerely the courage,
truthfulness and disinterestedness of John
Brown. But we altogether condemn his
act. We do not doubt that be did what he
thought was right. 1t is deserving of con.
demnation, not of imitation.
There are some distinguished men from
whom we differ upon this subject. Now
there is one thing we should like to have ex-
planned by Mr.. Emerson, Mr.. Phillips, and
the Others, who tell US that John Brown is
the man who has made it possible for an
American to own without shame in Europe
that he is an American, who proclaim that
his cause is the one for a true man to follow;
that his gallows is to be forever glorious,
like the cross, and much more in the same
style. If all this is 80; if John Brown in
bis late attempt was the model man; if he
did what it is the high duty of noble.
hearted spirit to do; if he set the example
which is worthy of such unqualified admira-
ton and of imitation, why in the world do
not these heroic men who talk so loudly 90
and do what he did? Why are they con-
tent to stand upon this lower plane of man.
hood, which they now occupy? They have
talked magnifcently about what makes
man in this crisis. Why do they not try to
be men after the model which they commend?
10 be sure, the experiment would be peril
GUS, nay, fatal. But what of that? True
greatness, nay, manhood, we are told, con-
sists in such a sacrifice as Browns. Why
not then hurry and make it? According to
them, Brown is doing, and is destined to do,
more for the cause to which he is falling a
martyr than be could have done by the elo-
quence of Pitt and the long life of Me-
thuselah. Why do they not join him, help
on the victory of freedom, and place their
names, with Browns, among those that men
"will not willingly let die"
Change your words, or your acts gentle:
men. Either follow Brown, or modify the
language with which, in your idolatry of
him, you have chosen to characterize his
deeds. So long as you do not, you show
that you are not men, measured by the
standard which you yourselves hold up. Let
US have something besides the Dutchman's
'pravorts," or else fewer of them. The
lamentable result of this indiscriminate
praise of an honest, but erring man, will be
the encouragement of others to follow his
unhappy example, while those who furnish
the encouragement keep themselves at safe
distance from peril, and spend their heroic
lives in clarifying through words what they
dare not do themselves. That may be a
lofty style of heroism, but we have not yet
attained to height where it seems so to us.
For the present, John Brown, with all his
mistakes, seems to us to gain little from
such laudations as theirs. He did not urge
any one to peril which be was not willing
to face himself.

in the sanity of his judgment in matters

in the sanity Of his judgment in matters
relating to slavery"
The gist OF all these afidavits in relation
to Browa, when carefully analysed, will be
found to consist in confirming him to be q
man of integrity of character, of mild dis
position, but frantic, furious, incapable of
reasoning himself, and impatient of reason
in others, on the subject of slavery. The
fact that be is mild and reasonable upon
most subjects, but ferocious and unreasona-
BILE upon the subject of slavery, is urged as
reason why be should be considered a
subject for the clemency of Governor Wise.
Can not that be said of very many, if not
most, of the Abolitionists of the North :?
Could we not well enough make oath that
Wendell Phillips or Ralph Waldo Emerson
were men of integrity and honesty insomuch
as they never committed forgery. or COM
mited larceny of anything recognized as
property in Massachusetts,? Could we not
say that they are Christians, if extinction
of human slavery at any hazard to bond and
free is Christianity? Could we not depose
that they were mild, sensible and judicioun
upon most subjects, but furiously mad is
respect to the constitutional relation of the
white and black races in the South? In a
word, can we not predicate, word for word,
of nearly every Abolitionist among US, just
what is predicated in the affidavits of John
Brown?
And yet it is grave!y assumed that these
qualities, these manifestations, make man
insane, and absolve him from moral or legal
responsibility These men in the North
VINO inspire this insane warfare upon the
South, who make the brain and heart of the
Republican party, are now pronounced
bereft of reason, and confirmed lunatics. Is
it not so? If John Brown is a mailman,
then are not the men in Massachusetts,, who
answer to the description in these afidavits,
madmen? If Governor Wise pardons him,
then must he not pardon all the Abolitlonists
who, like Brown, " are incapable of reason.
ing on the subject of slavery" and make
attempt to steal or coax away from Vir-
ginia, niggers?" John Brown may be a
lunatic, but if these affidavits set forth cor
rectly why is be lunatic, and the acts which
make him one, then one-fourth of the people
of Massachusetts are madmen, and three
fourths of all the so-called ministers of re-
ligion If John Brown is mad, for reasons
depicted in these afidavits, then majority
of the Republican politicians in this Com
monwealth are either madmen or knaves.

Splendid AurOral Display off Cape
Horn.

The ship Southern Gross arrived at San
Francisco on the 22d of October from
Boston.
The Southern Cross, under Capt. Howe,
left Boston on the 10th of June, making the
passage in 1874 days. She passed the straits
of LeMaire, August 10, being sixty days to
Cape Horn. Then she of course got the
wind in her teeth, and being reduced to her
small canvass, the stout ship battled the
elements for twenty three days off the Cape,
the greater part of the time in heavy gales
of wind, with frequent rain, hail and snow
squalls.
On the night of the I'd of September,
during a tremendous gale, wonderful
phenomena manifested itself. The rare
spectacle of an aurora australis, or southern
lights, was witnessed. It commenced about
half.past one o'clock in the morning, and
increased in splendor until towards daylight,
when it gradually faded before the light of
day. Our informant states that the whole
heavens were of deep red, which color was
reflected in the ocean, upon which fearful
sea was running. These were surmounted
by combs, not of the usual white, but almost
blood red. Some of the crew were much
frightened. Once during the night tre-
mendous hail and snow squall hustled upon
the ship.
Through the whole of this the flames
assumed the same roseate hue, and when a
spray fell over the ship, it fell to leeward in
ruddy showers. Between the squalls, in the
clear places in the sky, the mysterious lights
were seen shooting up in spiral streaks
nearly to the zenith-now flashing out in
the intense darkness with meteoric brillian-
cy, and now looming up against the horizon
as with the blaze of some terrible confagra-
ton, so that the glale was reflected upon the
sails. Capt. Howe and his officers say that
they have never witnessed anything equal
ling this display for magni6cence. During
the gale, several times at night brilliant
conosants, or balls of electric fire, appeared
Pickering at the mast heads, yard arms, and
and other salient points.

A Well Trained Horse.

A correspondent of the St. Lawrence IN.
~ Republican gives the particulars of a
visit to DR.. SUTHERLAND, of De Kalb, and
the performances he there witnessed of the
Doctors well trained horse. He says:
The Doctor calls him the "White Pill
grim" His color is white nankeen, white
name and tail, and white eyes. He is a
splendid little horse. The Doctor tells me
he has owned him only six months-rode or
drove him almost every day, las his riding
is considerably but still during that brief
time he broke him to the saddle and harness
and taught him the different feats I saw him
perform, such as standing upon his hind feet,
jumping the whip, kneeling down, lying
down, sitting up, and walking on three legs.
He will unbuckle common saddle girth,
and take off his own saddle be will step up
to his own master, make very low bow,
shake hands, take his coat, cap and mittens
offand lay them away, and when told bring
them all back to him again.
With cards he will tell his age, the days
in the week, the months in the year, &c.
With the alphabet he will spell any simple
word put to him. Spread out number of
playing cards and be will fetch the one
called for. He will play good game at
old Sledge, and beat you as often as you can
him, and tell your fortune, if requested. He
will waltz around his yard with quite as
much ease and grace as some of our country
gentlemen, and pass around hat for
contribution at the close of performance.
He is rare specimen of horse flesh, and his
equal, l think, for beauty, activity, and in.
telligence, could not be found, considering
the labor performed by him, and the short
time be has been under discipline and the
Doctor certainly deserves the credit of being
a great Horse Man.

illegally elected. The Democratic members
Immediately after TEN EYcK's election, pro-
tested against it in a written document,

A FAREWELL.
By GEORGE n. PRESTIC

Bf GEoRtE II. fRESiNE.
I met thee in stranger land,
Far from mine own blue streams,
And gloriously the vision shone
Upon my spirits dream
And then my Tyre that long had slept
Unvieited, unheard, unswept,
Awoke in Beauty's CLEANS,
As erst the harp of Memnou woke
When Ger its chords the morning broke.
We met and soon my spirit bowed,
Uushadowcd girl, 10 thee.
AS the. bright bow upon the cloud
Attends to the Monarch sea.
Thy words thy tones, the sm lies that played,
Upon thy lovely feature hade
Long hidden thoughts go free;
And swretly in thy manhood's tears
Were glassed the tints Of earlier years.
And now we part-these simple words
May he my last farewell,
But often Ger my bosom's chords
Thy spirit tones will swelli
The happy hours since first we met
Upon my heart and life have set
A deep and da"thless spell;
And thou wilt be, although nfnr.
OF memory's heaven the dearest star.
FAREWELL farewell! yon moon is bright
And calm d pure Ike thee;
But 10 u dark cloud diins its light
The type alas, of me;
From the blue heavens the cloud will go,
But the unfa,ling moon will glow
Still beautiful and free;
And thus thy life " it'll fadeless ray
Will shine when am passed away.
