Dear Progress Another financial panic is
upon us fully equal to that of 1857. Large
produce, forwarding and commission houses
are suspending and on business paper hardly a
cent can be collected on our docks. Disasters
| by Lake and land are weighing heavily on
our merchants. Only week ago the Propel-
ler jersey City, met with one of those melan-
| cholv accidents common upon the Lakes at
| this season of the year. She was wrecked near
Long Point, Canada about ninety miles from
here Capt. Monroe gave full account of the
disaster to an old Lake captain, Capt. E. r.
Dorr, Of this city.
The weather was so extremely cold that the
men frozc in whatever situation they happened
to be in. One man in STOPPING down to let his
! companion get upon his back froze stiff in
| that position and died Captain Monroe HIM
self escaped with great difficulty and was car
ried to the lighthouse at Long Point, where he
was humanely taken care OF.
The Propeller Doc0tGh sailed proudly out of
| our harbor with her living freight, and the next
thing we hear other she is hopeless wreck.
| Several lives were lost, also the cargo. The
| Globe also hailed from this port, and you are
| no doubt aware of her terrible explosion while
| laying at the Chicago wharf

IN the political world, several meetings have
been heid to devise 'ne ways ana means TO
sever the connectlon "l1n tnefaolcal ana W est
ern part Of the State. The idea IS to combine
the City, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and three
counties above Us on the east side OF the Hud-
