Suspected Murder.

On Wednesday last the body Of man,
apparently about % years of age, was
found in the river at the lower end of
this village, and which bore upon itstrong
evidence of foul play. A violent blow
had been received by the deceased, on
his forehead, and his skull was broken in
such manner as to have caused instant
death. There was nothing on or about
tho body to give the slightest clue to the
identity to the deceased, and no evidence
was brought before the coroners to show
that he had ever before been seen in this
place. Tho body was in high state of
putrifaction, it having, as is supposed,
been dead at least fifteen days. Various
opinions have been expressed as to the
cause Of the death. BY some it is sup.
posed that the deceased belonged to one
Of the companies Of recruits who went
to Detroit on the steamer Forest Queen
on Saturday last; that he accidentally
fell overheard, and was struck by wheel
of the boat. This idea would look pau.
sible enough but for the fact that the
body must have been dead for greater
length Of time than had elapsed between
the departure of the steamer and the
finding of the body. BY others it is
thought that the deceased was murdered
and thrown into the river. In this opin-
ion the coroners concurred. Nothing OF
any value was found in the pockets of
the deceased. His clothing indicated
that he was a laboring man. The body
was buried this morning.-Bay CITY

SALT

We call attention to the highly salts
factory and well prepared circular of the
East Saginaw Salt Manufacturing Com
pany, in this issue. The experiment Of
salt boring has proved a success, the salt
manufactured has stood all the tests to
which it has been subjected, and is known
to be as pure and reliable an article as is
manufactured anywhere, and this Com
pany, which has been the Pioneer in the
business all through, is now taking the
proper steps to secure an extensive
market. In this, we are most happy to
learn, it has the most Aattering assur-
ances Of success as complete and salts
factory as that which has resulted from
the first experiment. The neat and well
made packages, as well as the quality of
the salt, recommend it everywhere, and
none but satisfactory reports come from
any quarter. OF the 1000 barrels
made up to the first of July, as stated in
the report, between seven and eight
thousand were sold at the Works, or on
the docks in this city from which the
retail trade was supplied the major part
of the remainder going to the fisheries
on Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron. 1910
barrels were sent to Chicago and Mil.
waukce, 100 to Goderich, and the re-
mainder to Detroit and other points
Since July large quantities have been
sent to Messrs. CHIPMAN, TRowBRIpaB g.
RooD, Agents of the CO., in Detroit, and
by them sold to 90 into the interior
along the lines of the Central, Southern,
and Detroit e. Milwaukee Railways, rs
well as by other means of communica-
ton. More extensive operations will
have the effect to extend the market still
farther, and the effects of tho blockade
in keeping out salt, as it has been brought
in bulk for ballast to southern ports, to-
ge.her with the increased tariff, cannot
fail to raise the price of the article mate
rally.

California Democratic Resolutions.

The following were among the resolu-
tons adopted at the recent democratic
State Convention in California. They
occupy, as we believe, the true position.
While they do not give up their party
organization, they pledge themselves to
an earnest and hearty support to the gov
eminent in all proper measures, to put
down rebellion and uphold the supremacy
of the constitution and the law
"lst. That at this time, when the
country is resisting a war ofinvasion and
destruction, indifference is impossible to
the patriot, and neutrality is cowardice,
if not premedtated disloyalty.
"2d, That the people of California, in
the past have been most anxious for peace
throughout the land, and will hail with
Joy an honorable adjustment in the fu-
ture at the same time they are above all
things for the Union, the country and
the flag, against all assailants, no matter
who they are, whence they come, or with
what over armed.
"3d. That, in this great crisis Of the
American nation and name, our State
will always, as heretofore, faithfully dis
charge her constitutional obligations to
the Union and Federal government, and
as in duty bound, will earnestly sustain
the constituted authorities at Washing
ton in all measures necessary to defend
and protect either against this most un.
UNSUITABLE and unnatural war.
"4th, That in the name of the loyal
people of the State Of California, we de.
mand of the general government, by all
its power, to protect their lives and prop.
erty on the high seas, between this coast
and the Atlantic from the piratcal flag
which already threatens injury, and would
inflct destruction on both.
"5th That in the present overwhelm.
ing crisis he who would seek, by reviving
past partisan issues, to distract the PEG.
Pile, or to wrest from their honest and pa
triotic devotion some sordid partisan adj
vantage, is not true to the country, nor
worthy the name of an American citizen.
"6th, That we hold our paramount al
legiance due to the Federal government;
that the right of State secession is dan.
gerous heresy, inevitably destructive Of
our form of government.
eth. That obedience to the constitu-
tional will of majorities is the only safe
guard of republican governments that
we will uphold the constituted authori.
ties, under all circumstances, and at all
hazards, in maintaining Federal jurisdic-
ton in its sphere, regardless ofwhat par
ty may be in power"

MUSIC.

Last week, either by accident or de.
sign, seemed to be the grand carnival
week in the musical line, in this vicinity.
Thursday, with " Yankee. Robinson S
Great Double Show ?" came q brass
musical corps, and among their number a
most terrific drummer. AS " ever and
anon he beat his rafting drum with furi-
Gus heat" all other sounds, either of
music or business, were submerged as
fully as if a battery Of 80 Founders had
opened in full chorus. Friday morning
the same band passed down on the Ariol,
"making music all the while" Friday
afternoon the Saginaw City Cornet Band
passed down, also, on the Ariel, giving
US some thrilling strains. But Saturday
was the day ever to be remembered by
the votaries of Calliope in CITY Saliferous.
Brass Bands were "too numerous to men
ton" and to add to the entertainment
the martial music " fellers' were out in
full blow. At noon the Detroit City
Band = really a capital institution
arrived on the Queen, and Immediately
gave us some exquisite music on the
plaza. At 8 p. NJ. Show Band and Sag,
NAV City Band arrived together on the
.Ariel, and they kept up the concord Of
sweet sounds" the steamers Ariel, Queen,
Star, 7rG(ac, Aida and Clinton joining in
the chorus, while the Little Nell at inter
walls sounded her diminutivo pe.we-we-e,
as if in distress at the clamor. Alto.
gcther we have not had as satisfactory
season Of "noise and confusion" for any
half week of our residence here, and are
disposed to hope that the musical weeks
hereafter will be more frequent.

Adjutant Thomas Il. Morris.

Without wishing TO bring into un.
necessary notoriety man whose modesty
is equal to his merits, we can do no less
than notice our warm personal friend
THOMAS Il. NORRIS, who has received the
appointment of Adjutant in Col. SrocK-
TONS Independent Regiment, now rem
dozvousing at Detroit. His grandfather,
Gen. MoRRIs, was for many years mem
Der of Congress from Vermont, and
always a warm and ardent supporter Of
the policy of Jefferson; a gentleman of
the old school, the confidence and respect
of the whole people was his during all
the warm political excitements of that
day. The father of Thomas f, was n
Lieutenant in the navy, and served with
distinction in several engagements with
the Algerine aud West India pirates
lie died suddenly in stage coach at
Aiken, South Carolina, while on his way
north from Pensacola, where he had been
to recruit his health. Adjutant Thomas
e. MORRIS, is Vermonter by birth, and
served a full course as cadet in Part
ridges Military School at Norwich, Yer
mont, and was six years member of the
Buffalo City Light Guard, Company D.,
Capt. BURDETTE. He is a nephew Of
c. EMERSON, Esq, of this city, and has
resided here for the las: two years, where
he has won hosts of friends, whose best
wishes 90 with him to the battle fields
of his country. He will make popular
and efficient officer, and possessing, as he
does, every trait which goes to make up
the measure of true man and soldier,
he cannot fail to win distinction in his
new sphere.
In this connection we arc most happy
to be able to state that the Independent
Regiment promises to be the most eff
cient military organization which will
leave the State. Col. STOCKTON, sustained
by some Of the very best men in the
State, is working wonders, in spite of all
opposition. Lieut.. Col. RHEULE, known
and tried soldier, has the confidence Of
all, and the subordinate officers and men,
feeling that their lives are entrusted
to neither imbeciles, idiots or towards,
are true as steel. Our best wishes are,
as they always have been, with the
Independent Regiment.
East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1861-08-22

Russel's letter to the Tines says: "The
repulse of the Federals, decided as it was,
might have had no serious effects what
ever beyond the mere failure, which po-
litically was of greater consequence than
it was in military sense, but for the
dsgraceful conduct of the troops. The
retreat on their lines at Centerville seems
to have ended in cowardly route, a mis-.
cradle causeless panic. Such scandalous
behavior of soldiers / should have consid.
cred impossible. l have never even
among camp followers, seen the like of it.
If in the present state of the troops, the
Confederates were to make march
across the Potomac above Washington,
the Capitol might fall into their hands
Delay may, however, place that event
out of the range of probability. The
North will no doubt recover from the
shock. Hitherto she has only said ego
and fight for the Union" The South has
exclaimed "let us fight for our rights"
The North must put her best men into
the battle or she will inevitably fail before
the energy, personal hatred, and superior
fighting powers of her antagonist.
East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1861-08-22

Ir is q significant fact that during the
civil war our army has time and again
made attacks upon positions concerning
which they were totally ignorant. This
proves one of two things, either that the
negroes have given no information, or
have given such as is false and it GER
tainly shows that they entertain no smy-
pathy whatever for the North. This is
extraordinary conduct in the race which
the New York Tribune, the Independent,
Mr.. Stowe, the Atlantic Monthly, and a
numerous set of political demagogus and
moral fantics have persistently insisted
are painting for liberty and quite as fit for
it as the whites.
Ifthe negroes really hate their mas.
tiers, they would be constant spies upon
everything which tho Federal troops
ought to know. Not battery could be
erected, plan determined upon, not a
movement made, which they would not
inform them Of, and that with an accura-
cy which could be obtained from no 9TH
or source. Let the aboltionists answer
why this noble race, who pant for freedom,
hate the North, and are ready to die by
the side Of their masters?

of this week the Detroit City Band, by par
ticular request of some our most prominent
citizens, whose taste in the musical line is
unquestonable, give a second concert at
Buena Vista Hall. The programme will
consist of classic and operate music by
a full orchestra, interspcrscd with airs,
medleys, spirited and patriotic selcc-

of the highest order, and all who attended
the concert on Tuesday evening were

EAST SAGINAW, august IA, 1861
The EAST SAGINAW SALT MANUFACTURING Co.
WAS organized In April 1882 and commenced the
manufacture Of salt in July, 1860.
The propertyof the Company at this time embra'
ces 46b acres OF land situated on the Saginaw river
and bayou adjoining, about one mile north OF ths
centre Of the city, two wells 669 feet and 800 H. In

boilers two blocks for boiling OF 50 kettles eacn,
withan aggregate capacity of about III 600 gallons
eight settling csterns OF capacity OF 2300O gal.
Ions each, and twenty solar covers. Tho yield OF
salt during the year ending July l. 1861, was 600
barrels For than half that time only one block
was in operation the second we'll having been In use
only since last February
The supply ofibrine Is abundant md sppeafs TO be

only as much, requiring IS gallons &c brinsto pro-

The quality of East Saginaw Salt both hne and
