the Red Man has given place TO the An
plo Saxon, the wolf and bear have vacat-
ed their hairs in favor Of the prancing
stecd and timid sheep. Since the pom
drous forest trees have given place to the
apple, tho pear and the peach, and the
wild and tangled thickets have been sue
cecded by the rose and lilac, the jessa-
mine and the pink. Now that 'wildness
is exchanged for fruitful fields, which, at
each returning season, groan beneath the
weight of crops, abundantly rcpaying the
hardy sons Of toll for their sweat and anx-
iety, the Grand River is an easy and con-
venient thoroughfare for the conveyance
of tho immense productions of its fertile
valley to The Haven" where it can be
shipped TO any port in the world. AL
ready the products of this Valley have
been shipped directly to England. Tho
harbor at the Haven is commodious and
safe. Thus has nature rendered the
mouth of Grand River q desirable loca-
ton. for any man of means, who wishes
to engage in any commercial transaction.
And while nature has been layishing
her blessings and beauties here, art has
taken up the imitation and rendered those
blessings available, and those beauties
delightsome. The Detroit and Milwau-
kee Railroad, which spans the Peninsula,
connecting the city Of Detroit and Grand
Haven, finds its western terminus at the
west side Of the harbor, where the con-
nection with Milwaukee is completed by
line of steamers which ply regularly in
connection with the cars during almost
the entire season. But on entering the
depot, and then turning the eye TO the
west,
THE STRANGER
naturally feels sensation Of awe, if not
disgust, at the lofty piles of sand which
meet his eye and disappoint him in his
expectation of feasting his vision on the
sublime sight of the crested waves Of
Lake Michigan. Instead of such glance
as his anticipations have been dwelling
upon with raptures of delight, he only
sees the tips of few tall pines struggling
to keep mot above water, butt above the
huge piles of sand hills which the lake
winds are constantly throwing around
them! But let that stranger climb to the
summit of that little mountain of sand,
and like Moses, as described by DIR. Watts,
"Stand on Pisga's top and view the land
scape o'er,"-let him gaze out upon the
expanse of water rolling in beautifully
undulating pillows, while an unbecloudcd
sunset is tinging the western horizon with
golden beauties, and the waves with gems
of brightness, until he becomes entranced
with the scene, until the reflection of the
sun on the water appears to be uniting
heaven and earth in one great golden link
of attraction, and he will exclaim with
David, "In wisdom thou hast made them
ALL" Then let him look

Arrest of a Fighting Rebel.

Col. Tyler, grandson of Ex President "
Ter, late of the L. S. army, but now an Adj
jutant General in the rebel army, was ar
rested in Cincinnati on the 9TH, while
promenading the streets in a citizen dress.
He was recognized by Col. Guthrie of the
First Kentucky Regiment, and confessed
his name and rank in Beauregard's forces.
Col. G.. delivered his prisoner to Capt. Nc
Lean, who conveyed him to Newport Bar
racks, and telegraphed to Gen. Scott for
Instructions Tyler asked to be placed on
parole, but the request was refused.
The rebel Tyler graduated at West Point
in 1913, and served in the U. S. Calvalry
until the breaking out ofthe rebellion, when
he resigned. He is a member of Gen.
Beauregard's Staff, and served at Mannas-
sas as!Adjutant General. His wife is the
daughter of DR.. j. B. Wright of Cincinnati,
and she has been in the city all summer
Tyler claims that he came to Cincinnati to
take her to Richmond. OF all the bold
rebel movements, Tyler's thrusting his
head into a lions mouth, is a little the
boldcst. Our government has shown so
much leniency to rebels, that they think
they can beard the lion in his den with

The Pay Of Volunteers.

Congress passed q law increasing the
pay of volunteers, making it SI3 per
month instead of Sl1. The Senate passed
a bill increasing the pay to SIS, and af-
ter the bill had been amended in the
House, the Senate concurrcd in the amend
ment, and the bill stood passed Subse-
qucntly, however, on motion of Mr.. Viii
son, tie Senate reconsidered its action,
and adopted a new bill giving only two
dollars increase, and for lack of time for
any other course, the House ~concurred in
the new bill, which received the Presidents
approval, and is consequently the law.
The rations are computed at nine dol
lars a month, and the clothing at about
three dollars, or $50 4 year. When in
actual service the soldier Goes not require
the whole of his ratiOns or clothing, and
all that be does not take he receives the
cash for.
To the late three months troops a boun-
ty of $50 per anum is offered if they re-
enlist for the war individually, $40 if they
re-enlist by companies, and $50 if they
rc-enlist by regiments.

The Colonel Prisoners.

A letter from Gaulcy Bridge, Va, Au-
gust lst, to the Cincinnati Commercial,
gives an account of the vandalism of Wise
and his flight from the Kanawha Valley,
and has the following notice of the Fed
eral officers who so carelessly rode into the
rebel camp:
We have ascertained. beyond a doubt,
that Col. Woodruff and the rest of our
captured officers were sent to Richmond,
two days after their seizure. 1 took sup
per last evening at the Falls House, and
learned in conversation with the proprie-
tor, that the prisoners and escort stopped
there for supper on their way. They were
conveyed in two wagons, well treated, and
under no cOnstraint save from the accom-
paDying guard, which was under the com.
mand Of one of Wise's sons. The bench
was point out to nc where Col. Woodruff
enjoyed his cigar, and the porch where De
VilIierS and young Wise had a playful
struggle in the bayonet exercise, in which
the vivaciOus Frenchman foiled his adver-
sary in a few minutes, and then cOmforted
him by promising to teach MIN all he knew,
if he would join his regiment after he
should be released. Several of the cii-
zens If Charleston told me that Col. Wood
ruff made a strong Union speech there,
telling them bluntly that their cause was
as hopeless as it was wicked and misera-
bic. His candor, frankness and stcadfast-
ness, seem to have created a very favOra-
bic impression along the rOad-ad 1 con-
fess myself, that L cannot understand why
so much manhood should have been the
victim of so mean a misfortune.

The Tennessee Election.

The recent election in Tennessee has re-
suited in an overwhelming majority for the
permanent Constitution and Isham G. Har-
ris for Governor. His opponent, W.. IL.
Polk, entered the field as an independent
candidate, but as a sccessionist of as ultra
stamp as Harris. The Union men pre-
sented No candidate, and appear to have
suffered the election to go by default. The
reign of terror in the State is complete,
and the rebels rule with a high hand
Brownlow still lives and boldly talks pa
triOtism in his paper, but even East Ten
nessee appears to be quite Ovcrrun by the
secessionists. The majority for the per-
manent Constitution is larger in East
Tennessee than any previous secession
vote.
Members to the Confederate Congress
were chosen at the August election. John
L. House was chosen in the Nashville dis
trict; James II. Thomas from the Maury
district, r. J.. Caruthers from the Wilson
district, and Mr.. Army from the Memphis

The Democratic Platform

The following is the platform adopted
by the straight-Out Democratic Convention
held at Columbus on the 9TH inst:
The Democracy and other Union men of
Ohio, in Convention assembled. adopt and
declare the following resolutions as the ba.
sis upon which they appeal to all patriotic
Union and hberty-lOving citizens to unite
and rally in the support of the ticket this
day presented:
/. RESOLVED, That the civil war by
which our country is a. present distracted,
is the natural offspring of misguided sec
tionalism, e~ngendered by fanatieal agita-
tors, North as well as South; and thai the
Democratic party have equally opposed he
extremists of both sections; and having at
all times zealOusly eOntended for the ad-
ministration of the General Government
within its constitutional limits, that party
is in no way responsible for calamities that
have resulted from a departure from its
doctrines, and a disregard of its warning
and advice.
2. That in this national emergency, the
Democracy and other Union men of Ohio,
banishing all feeling of passion or resent
ment, will r~ecolleet only their duty to the
whole country; that this war should not
be wagcd in any spirit of oppression, nor
for any purpose of conquest or ~subjugation,
nor purpose of overthrowing or interfering
with the rights or established institutions
Of the States, but to defend and maintain
the supremacy of the Constitution, and to
preserve the Union with all the dignity.
equality, and rights of the several States
u%nimpaired, and that as soon as these OBJ
jects are accomplished, the war ought to
cease.
8. That while we deem it the duty of
every citizen to support and sustain the
Government constitutiOnally administered,
We recommend that the Legislatures of the
several States adopt the proper measures
for calling a National Convention for the
purpose of settling our present difficulties,
and restoring and preserving the Union.
4. That the corrupt on, extravaganza, in
competency and favoritism shown in the
administration of the War Departments of
the State and Federal Governments. de-
serve and receive our unqualified condem-
nation, and ought to be Immediately cor
rected and reformed.
8. That the volunteer soldiers who, at
the call of their country, promptly went
forth to do battle in defense of its Consti-
tuition and Laws, and who, in many cases,
have been compelled to fight under mex
perienced officers, are entitled to our hear
ty thanks for the gallant manner in which
they have discharged their duties.
6. That the privilege Of the writ of ha-
beas corpus is one of the great bulwarks of.
freedom, and that no citizen can be legally
deprived of the benefit thereof, except by
Congress, and then only in case of rebel
lion or invasion, when the public safety
may require it; and that the late attempt
of the President of the United States to
suspend the privilege of the same, is un-
warranted by the Federal Constitution.

both branches of Congress:
1T being a duty peculiarly incumbent,
in a time Of public calamity and rebellion,

pl0re his aid and protection: Therefore,
"ResoLred, By the Senate and House of
Representatives. Of tie United States of
America, IN Congress assembled, that a
joint Committee of both Houses, wait up
on the President of the United States, and
request that he recommend a day of pub
lie humiliation, prayer and fasting, to be
observed by the people of the United States
with religious solemnity, and the offering
of fervent supplications to Almighty God
for the safety and welfare of these States,
his blessing on their arms, and a speedy
restoration Of peace"
