twenty-five years ago the State Ct Ohio was
the oRueriof anrimmense domain granted by
Congress for Canal purposes. These lands in
the flush times, of 1861 had been appraised
op,the basis of the speculative prices which
obtainedIduring thatera. High as these prices
swefe,9 dhowever, immense tracts were at once
seized Upon by spectators, and when the col
lapse came it found the best and largest por-
ton Of the fertile territory Of North West
ernr Ohio, either in the hands of the State
ofinIthea hands Of speeulators. Thus was the
progress of settlement arrested and he, reye-

Which had been established and maintained by
the opponents OF the Democratic party. =
s~iIn1S45A46, Mr.. II. s. Knapp,-our pred
ecess5r of the Union,--then "a Democratic
member of the House of Representatives, in
trcdueeda bill to reduce the price of the canal
lands 33 per cent on the then existing aprrais-
ment and to secure. their sales in limited guam
titles TO none other than actual settlers,1a
measure that met the support of every Demo

Wing and Abolitionist. z - 10
During the following session, however,-the
session of 1S46-47, Hon. B. F. Metcalf his
successor, introduced the measure again, the
same measure proposed by Mr.. Knapp, and a
measure too, that has been worth millions Of
dollars to the people of the State of Ohio
and was successful IN ebtainingIits enactment
into . Law, The same law in substance as that
which has since been the established policy of
the State and which was modifsd by the Dem

LLs IM. .a HT
| CHICAGO, Sept. Sth.-In addition to these
reported saved this morning, are the following:
The Clerk makes the following statement:-
"The Lady Eigin left Port Chicago at half
past IL O'Clock, for Lake Superior. Among
the passengers were the Union Guards of
Milwaukee, composing part of some $50 ex.
cursionists from that city. About half past 2,
this morning, schooner augusta, of 0swego,
came in collision with the Lady Elgin when
about ten miles from shore. The vessel struck
the steamer at midships gangway on the lar
board side; the two separated instantly, and
the Augusta drited by in the darkness. sa- -
"At the moment Of collision, there was
music and dancing in the forward cabin. In
an instant after the crash all was still, and in
half an hour the steamer sunk I passed
through the cabins. The ladies were pale but
silent. There was not a cry nor shrek. No
sound but the rush of steam and surge OF
heavy seas. Whether they were not fully
aware of danger, or whether their appalling
situation made them specifies, 1 cannot tell.
GA boat was lowered at once, with the de
sign of going round upon the larboard side,
to examine the leak. There were two oars, but
just at the moment some person possessed
himself of one of them, and we were left
powerless to manage the boat. We succeeded
once in reaching the wheel, but were drifted
away and thrown upon the beach at Winetka.
Only two boats left the steamer; one of them
contained ID persons, all of whom were saved;
the other bore 8, but four of whom reached
shore alive, the others being drowned at the
beach. = bsi
H"Before I left the steamer, the engine had
ceased working, the fres having been extin-
guished, and within 80 minutes the Lady Ell
gin disappeared. N5s1sa 81
"The force and direction of the wind were
such that the boat and fragments of the wreck
were driven up the lake, and would reach
shore in the vicinity of Winctka. AS 1 stood
upon the beach, helplessly looking back along
the route we had drifted, 1 could see, in the
gray of the morning, objects floating upon the
water, and sometimes I thoughth human beings
struggling with the waves. q 500 =
p Mr.. I. A. Lumsden editor of the New
Orleans Picdyune, wife two children and SER
vent, and Mr.. Herbert IngrahamI editor of the
London illustrated News, took passage at Chi
cage, and are supposed to be lost. 80

hone and impartsd hAppinsss to thousands,
and has added millions Of dollars to the tan
duplicate of our State.
SoD~ith tie Homestead law passed, 2sd of
March 1850, a measure introduced by Hon.
Asa G. Dimmick, a Democrat, and passed by
a Democratic Legislature.
These measures relate to our own State pol
icy and show which party it is that has ever
resisted the tendency to a monopoly of the
public domain and its diffusion among those
who actually cultivate the soil.

see- The emancipation of Dutch
slaves in Java has begun. The
plan adopted is modelled on the
act of 1884, which emancipated
negroes in the British colonies on
the footing of apprenticed labor
ers. In Java the apprenticeship is
to last for six years, from the be-
ginning of 1860 to 1866, after
which date full liberty will be con-
ceded. Owners received $50 francs
for slaves worth 1000 francs each.
