RB The New York Herald makes the

nounced that the Great Eastern-now re-
ceiving the finishing touches-was to make a
few voyages to this continent, much rivalry
existed among the Eastern seaboard cities
as to which one should be honored with her
presence. The New Workers claimed 1t as
their undoubted right, but unfortunately for
their aspirations, it was found that the depth
of water on Sandy Hook was too slight for
the passage ola vessel of her immense tun-
nsge. II was finally determined, we be-
lieve, that Portland Me harbor was the
only one on our Atlantic seaboard Of sufi-
cient capacity to take in the Great Eastern.
This set the Gothamites calculating,
and the results of their calculations are, that
another outlet, through Long Island Sound,
may be obtained that will admit even the
Great Eastern with ease. II is now pro-
posed TO build il.mense docks on East river,
near Haerlam, and dispatch their steam
ers and other Europe-bound vessels from
that point instead of sending them around
by Sandy Hook.
This opening to the ocean-through Long
Island Sound-would have been selected by
all vessels going to Europe long ago, had 1t
not been for the rocky distractions at He'll
Gate. Experiments have demonstrated that
these distractions may be removed by sub
marine blasting, which las already been
tried on them with great success. The Leg
islature, at its late session, passed an act for
deepening and widening Haerlam river. II
this is done thoroughly, as far round as
North river, line of docks might be made

whole island would be surrounded by quay:
and shipping.
Should these docks be built, complete

ing Of The little STEAMER Eolian, In Lake
Pepin we clip from Minnesota paper
The steamer Milwaukee, which arrived
yesterday evening ut o'clock, brought in
telligence of the sinking of the Steamer Eo-
liam, Captain Tliimens, in Lake Pepin, about
one mile from the east shore, and nearly
opposite Lake City. We learn from John
Cochrane, Clerk of the Milwaukee, that the
Eolian started from Reeds Landing at half
pest o clock, A. NJ, yesterday morning,
following in the wake of the Milwaukee.
After getting in the Lake about six miles,
the W. L. Ewing, steered for the east shore,
while the Milwaukee went up on the west
shore. The Eolian followed the Ewing,
keeping behind about three lengths; and
when just opposite Lake City, the ice closed
in suddenly upon the Eolian, cutting her
hull on both sides, when she sunk rapidly to
the cabin flo 1t is supposed, that the hull
parted from ne cabin, and went TO the bot
tom. One cabin passenger, an old man, and
three deck passengers, "a German, his wife
and grown up daughter, were lost. A child,
the only remaining member of this family,
was wrapped in n blanket, thrown upon the
ice, and rescued by the Milwaukee. The
Milwaukee FASTENED 10 the relief Of the re-
naming passengers, and rescued them from
the ice. A number of the passengers were
brought up by the Milwaukee to this city,
and the others left at Lake City. The W.
L. Ewing also FASTENED TO the rescue.
The Eolian had a very heavy freight,
nearly 200 tons, which was taken on at
ports from st. Louis up. \ large portion
oft was for the Minnesota river, i'm which
trade she was intended to ply as one Of the
Davidson line of packets.

How the President OF Hatyi Treats
C0nsptractes.

Twice, about the lst of February last,
Getfrard, having discovered the existence OF
secret Black Clubs, which were forming
conspiracies against him, armed himself and
went unattended to the houses where the
meetings were held. Knocking at the door
as soon as it was opened, he pushed past
the servant, went up stairs, and entered the
room where the conspirators were assembled.
In one of them he saw a member of his own
staff. He saluted him, and then turning 10
the company, said quietly:
Gentlemen, you see am cognizant OF
your meetings. Go on. When YOU are
ready to act you viii find ME prepared tC
meet you. Twill not disturb you. Adieu
And be bowed and retired. The member
of his Staff was sick for several days after.

bloodshed; it broke up the club.
On the other occasion, few nights after
this occurrence, he entered a similar club al
the house of a well-known black woman o.
position in Port-au-Prince.
There were seven persons present. Thi:
sudden appearance startled them; his quiet
smile and sarcastic politeness astoundec
them.

INDEPESDEYT.--Muchd discussion has orig
mated in thei Virginia canvas for State Of
ficers, over the views entertained by John
III. Bolts, on the slavery question. In order
that all may be fully satisfied what
ground he occupies that gentleman publish
es card in the Richmond Why, in which
he defines his position in so lucid manner
that hereafter there can be no controversy
regarding il. He copies an extract from a
speech he made in 1850, in which he took
ground against the extension of slavery,
aud boldly asserts that he has seen no rea-
for modification, recdatdtioH or equipOeatiCn,
and challenges his political opponents to
make the most of it,
Mr. Bolts manly defense of what he
deems right, regardless of the sneers and
taunts of servile politicians, is'in pleasing
contrast with the course pursued by the
greater portion OF our so-called statesmen
He calmly aud honestly investigated the
''vexed question, and having formed bis con.
clusions, is not waited about by every Whit
of popular passion or prejudice. HAD We
more of such men, we would have less o.
the turmoil, confusion and dishonesty, thai
now disgrace American politics.
