DO NOT HOLD WATER.

Since Browns invasion of Harper's
Ferry has turned out so disastrously, the
black republican papers have sci up two
pretences concerning him, neither of which
held water very well: 1. That he was
crazy; 2. That he was not sent out TO
Kansas by the black republicans, and that
they had nothing 10 do with his opera
tons there. The first allegation BRowN
has himself disposed Of. He says it is
miserable artifce Of those who ought to
take different course in regard to him.
The second allegation is disposed of by
The exposures which Col. FORBES has
made. BY his testimony, BRowN was in
the immediate and especial employ, in
Kansas, of the black republican commit
tees of the Eastern States, and the circum-
stances of his employment are stated so
particularly that none can doubt the fact.
Besides, it is we'll rememembered that
funds were raised by the black republi-
cans in several of the eastern cities ex-
pressly and avowedly for BRowN, one of
which cities was Hartford, Connecticut
He visited Hartford in March, 1857, on
which occasion the Courant of that CITY
addressed its readers as follows in its is
sue of the 21st of the month:
"Captain John Brown, of Ossawatlo-
mic, Kansas, just the man TO inspirit the
free State men and play the game of
bluff against the serfs of the slave-own-
ers in Kansas, desires some material aid
to keep bis arms stayed up while he fights
the battles Of freedom against the border
ruffians. He says he will endcavor to
make judicious and faithful application
of such means as he may be supplied
with w. II. ID. Calender, cashier of
the State Bank, Hartford, Conn, will take
care that all moneys lodged for Capt.
Browns benefit are received by the Cap
tain. Brown is JUST THE MAN WE NEED
IN KANSAS; and if every man who loves
freedom and can spare dollar or two
would put it in Browns purse, we will
warrant they get their moneys worth out
of Brown thereafter. Let us back up the
men who are fighting our battles"
We think there need be nothing more
said of the auspices under which BRowN
operated in Kansas. bet. Free Press.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.

We have frequently heard it remarked
of late by persons visiting our village,
after an absence Of two or three years,
g am surprised to witness the improve
mepts in the appearance of Grand Ha-
ven since my last visit" 1t is true we
are improving; are making very COM
mendable progress onward and upward.
The trade of our merchants has been
steadily on the increase, notwithstanding
the stringency of the money market, and
as trade too Of the most profitable and
healthy character. Persons now pur-
chase only what is actually needed for the
comfort of themselves and families and
pay for schat they get. Hence but little
extravaganza prevails. Mechanical bust
ness is remunerative. In addition to our
old mechanics several new ones, in the va
rious departments of trade, have found
employment with us, and the consequence
has been a steady growth to our village
and corresponding increase in its trade
and market facilities.
Among the buildings erected during
the present season, and now in course of
erection, we might notice particularly the
fine dwelling house on First street, built
by DR.. S. MUNRoE. 1t is pleasantly To-
Gated, spacious and well calculated for
convenient and comfortable residence.
The office, now in construction at the cor
ner of Washington and Third streets, de-
signed for the publishers of the Clarion,
is a fine building, constructed under the
supervision Of Messrs. CoMsrocK q VAN
NORMAN. A tasty dwelling has alsobe
erected by lawyer ATWOOD, on beauti-
full site northward of the Court House.
1t occupies one of the most imposing
sites that could be selected from the en-
Tire plat of our village, alfording a fine
view of the village below and around,
with Mill Point, Ferrysburg, the river
and lake. An extensive addition has al
so been made TO the Rice House, corner
of Washington and Water streets, owned
by FERRY & Son and now occupied by
Mr.. RICE, who has the reputation of be-
ing one of the most accommodating and
attentive landlords that the Grand River
Valley affords, and every guest once en-
joying the quiet and comforts of this
house is anxious to give him a second ben
eft when opportunity offers. He has
room and conveniences for the accommo-
dation of all who may favor him with q

Have we any Harper's Ferry Men
among us.

Our readers are already aware of the
attempt TO raise the standard of servile
instruction in Virginia, and TO subvert
the government of the United States.
Since reading the last Clarion, it has
occurred to us that there are grave rea-
sons for suspectipg Mr.. Club of COM
plicity with this affair. The tremendous
broadside the Clarion pours into Presi-
dent Buchanan seems to us evidently in
tended to create diversion, and distract
the attention of the President and his
Cabinet just at the moment when Capt.
Brown struck his blow at Harper's Ferry.
But the mine was prematurely explo-
ded, and we presume the Clarion did
not reach Washington until the necessary
orders for quelling the instruction had
been issued. Had il arrived earlier, it is
hardly probable that the President would
have been able to meet the emergency SO
promptly.
This theory is farther supported by the
facts that Mr.. Club is an original Kan
sas man, is warm friend of Fred. Doug
lass and of Gerit Smith, and has just
been, either in body or in spirit in Phil
adelphia, if not at Harper's Ferry, as
we learn by the last Clarion that he
has just been elected to high Office in
the city of brotherly love and quakerism.

GRAND RAPIDS SALT.

We learn from the Grand Rapids pa
pers that the boring for salt water in the
vicinity Of that city, under the superin-
tendence of JAS. SoRIBNER, ESQ.,, has
proved entirely successful. Upon reaching
a depth of 227f feet a vein from the
{" briny ocean" was struck, yielding thirty
barrels Of brine per minute, which, ON
boiling, produces salt at the rate of one
bushel per Ito gallons of water.
Should this experiment prove what
may be reasonably expected-an iniatory
measure to the successful prosecution of
large manufacturing business in COM
modify as necessary almost as the bread
on our tables-it will truly usher in new
era in the commerce of the Valley City,
The fact is, our sister city does possess
every element of uninterrupted and rapid
growth in wealth and Importance. Her
trade IN the great staples OF agricultural
labor, in plaster that enriches the soil of
Kent and adjoining counties, and returns
to her lap, in the products of the farm, a
hundred per cent interest; and now her
salt manufacture that will supply the en-
tire Grand River Valley, and perhaps our
own and adjoining States with an article
equal to the best Onondaga, and at a far
less price, are elements of successful COM
mercial enterprise that may ere long place
her foremost in the rank of the cities OF
the Peninsular State rather than the Sec
ond. We expect soon to point to the
cellar on our table, well filed with the
bright, snow-white salt, and inform our
guests that it is of Grand Rapids manu-
facture.

The PROPELLER TRoY.-The Detroit
Free Press, of Sunday last, says the last
hope of those having friends on the i'll
fated Troy, that foundered in the gale on
Lake Huron on Tuesday, the 18th ult.,
is dashed away by the telegraphic au-
nouncement that the life-boat had been
thrown upon the beach in Canada, in an
empty condition. 1t will be remembered
that, previous to the sinking ofthe vessel,
the Captain, with Miss Hubert, his sis
ter-in-law, Mr.. Raice, his wife and three
children, Elizabeth Leonard, the Cham
Der maid, and Joseph Kelley, the chief
engineer, took refuge in this life-boat, in
which they were subsequently seen by the
three of the crew who were saved in the
yawl, but had lost their oars and were at
the mercy of rough sea. 1t is most
probable that the boat soon capsized, and
its passengers drowned. The life-boat
was found on Thursday, near Port Franks,
in good order, but empty. The coast be-
tween Goderich and Port Franks has been
searched for traces Of the crew, but with
out success. There is now not even a
bare possibility of their having escaped.

OLD BRowN.-The defence closed their
testimony on Friday last, at about four
o'clock in the afternoon, and the State de-
sired to give the case to the jury without
argument. Capt. Brown insisted that
his counsel should argue the case. After
the opening speech for the State, the court
adjourned till Monday morning, when the
counsel for the prisoners will proceed.
