nothing that would satisfy those who are
traitors at heart and of choice, and such,
people will find enough in the inaugural to
denounce. We're the document not open to

ut was anything but what the occasion de-

regard the Union, who yet can recognize the
duties involved in an oath to faithfully
execute the office of President of the United

President does not shrink from declaration
of purpose to maintain the SUPREMACY of

is that of kindness and conciliation and peace.

THE CHuRcH FESTIVAL, at the Ban.
croft House on Tuesday evening proved
complete success, not only in a social,
but also in pecuniary point of view
The house was comfortably crowded with
a company who seemed determined to
enjoy themselves, the tables groaned
under the superabundance Of good things
heaped upon them, and the different in.
cdcnts attracted the attention of the
company until late hour. We cannot
neglect the opportunity of referring to
the generosity Of Mr.. HONS, in throwing
open his house on these occasions for 4
paltry sum which cannot pay him fol
the trouble and labor necessarily incurred
lie has ever proved himself liberal
host, willing to do al in his power tc

taking, and our citizens are often placed
under obligations to him for these many

SOME LOGS The Newaygo RepaJAcan
thinks t'centyJfre millions feet of pine logs
will be rolled into Muskegon River dur
ing the present winter, really to be float
ed downward during the spring freshots.
The foregoing article we believe first
made its appearance in the Grand Haven
News. We then supposed that is was in
tended as a joke; but after seeing it cop
led into several other newspapers, we
conclude that it is not generally appre-
ciated as snch. We would state, for the
benefit Of those not acquainted with the
amount Of numbering done on the Mus.
kegon River, that there was about fifty
five million feet of pine lumber manu-.
featured last season at Nuskegon village
alone, which is considerable less than the
usual amount. Mill owners of this vii
age have contracted for about serenity
million feet to be delivered here next
spring, aud we presume. that at least
twelve millions will be "put in" for man.

FIRING on THE STAR OF THE WEsT,-

the following particulars Of the firing on
the Steamship Star Of the West: '' BE-
About half past 6 o'clock yesterday
morning, the steamer Gen. Clinch dis.

the occupants Of the battery on Morris
Island. rs soon as'the signals were
seen there, Morris Island was astir with
men at their posts, before the order could

They rcnained in ANXIOUS suspense, but
ready Cor what they believed was sure 10
conie--a volley from Fort Sumpter. The
Star of the West rounded the point, took
the ship channel inside the bar, and pro-
ccedcd straight forward until opposite
Morris, Island, about thrce-fourths of a
mile from tie battery. A ball was then
fired athwart the bows Of the steamer.

HERE IS HERE AND THERE q republi
can paper which seoms To comprehend
thegravity Of the crisis, and the necessity
of remedy. One of these is the Provi-
dencc (R. t. Press, which says: at APP
pears to us that sufficient stress is not
placed upon the fact that the adoption OF
any plan whereby the present crisis might
be disposed Of without a war aud without
u dissolution Of the Union, would be a
great victory over those ultra men Of the
South whose chief object is diSunion.--
We fear that some of our friends are too
prone to confound these men with that
larger class Of southern citizens who
would be glad to settle, within the Union,
and upon fair terms, the questions that
have brought the two sections into a
position of antagonism whose possible
consequences-nay, whose probable con-
sequences, make us recoil from their con
temptation.
