Building in Grand Haven.

Notwithstanding the dullness of the
times and the dubious prospect business
wise, some of our citizens are giving a
tangible proof of the length of the purse,
as we'll as the temper Of their grit.
On Washington street SIDNEY SEQ
FIELD, Esq, has nearly completed a frame,
building to be set up adjoining GEO. E.
HUBBARD's Hardware Store. This new
building is to be % by go feet, and four
stories high-the upper story intended
to DO fitted up.for Masonic Hall, Mr..
john w. HOPKINS has nearly completed
n beautiful residence on Franklin street.
Mr.. AVERY, the builder, has driven the
work at a rapid pace, and it adds much
TO the style of that portion of the village.
Mr.. CORNELIUS BARNS has commenced a
fine dwelling for himself on Clinton street.
Mr.. FRED. BEcKrEL, is drawing building
material and making the necessary prep
aratious for fine house, on his lot on
Second street, opposite I. w. WIRES
residence. Mr.. HAMILTON JONES, our
newly appointed postmaster, is now put
ting the finishing touches of brush and
paint to the new post-office building. This
will probably be occupied officially this
week. The second story is to rent as ar
officc-a good location for a lawyer o.
physician. Mr.. ALBERs, an industrious
mechanic, painter, has nearly completed
handsome dwelling house, located OF
Clinton street.

The Major Anderson.


This splendid schooner, built at Blen-
don, in this county, by Messrs. LITcH-
FIELD d Co., left our wharves on Mon
day last en- route for Boston. She is
fully frcighted with cargo of first quail
ty of Black Walnut Lumber. 1t is, we
understand, the intention of her owners
TO place her in some trade East.
We have examined critically the con-
struction Of this vessel--and we claim an
experience in naval architecture,as regards
her form for speed and profit, as well rs
to the workmanship in the detail Of adj
justment.
The vessel is built Of the best quality
of Grand River Oak, and that, of course,
is second TO none. Her " lines are beau
tiful, easy and "clean." She is burden
some beyond what would be judged her
capacity as the eye catches the fine en-
trance and clean run. Although now
burdened with load of heavy lumber,
and her deck load reaching in height so
as merely to admit her booms to swing
clear, yet she has a "big side" out of
water. She will make grand grain YES
sci. Without an exception she exhibits,
in our opinion, the best job Of planking and
finish that we have seen on Lake Mich
igan. The taste exhibited in relieving
her massive strength from the accusation
of weight is great credit to the builder
A novel figure-head adorns her STEM
representing the American Flag, as tho
run out from under her bowsprit upon an
army staff, and the folds of the flag are
gathered in and gracefully lave the cut
water. She is fastened mastery, and we
confidently expect that Messrs. LIrou-
FIELD q Co. will have demand for their
skill and taste TO furnish our inland lakes
with more vessels of the same sort.

Coop ENoUon FOR ONE DAY.-The
Baltimoreans, says the New York Day
Book, have laid out that intense dough
face, Henry Winter Davis, coid-intense-
ly cold. Even the Federal bayonels in
Maryland could not save him, nor the
presence of his old friend, "Uncle Slide
Banks. Davis is brilliant example of
a first class toady TO Abolition fanaticism,
and his fate is a brilliant warning for
those who OH the soil of Maryland, may
be disposed to initiate his career.

Mr.. DOUGLAS Successor IN THE SEN
ATE.-Notwithstanding the suggestion
of Republican paper in Chicago, that
the Governor of Illinois should appoint a
Democrat to fill the unexpired term of
Senator Douglas, he has appointed an Ill

Orville H. Browsing, on whom has been
conferred the honor, is lawyer, fully
sixty years old, formerly a Wing, and
frequently defeated for Congress by VIM.

tive proof that party has been sunk.

MENT.-We are informed by person in
care of the sick belonging to the Third
Regiment of Michigan volunteers, that
nearly thirty were unable to accompany
the Regiment on account of sickness
They are being well cared for at Grand
Rapids, and at places in the vicinity
One of the volunteers named CAMPBELL,
died at Lamout, on Saturday night last,
and two others are sick at that place-dis-
case, measles. The principle disease
however, is lung fever, brought on by ex'
posture and sudden change in habits and
manner or living.

Has THE DRUNK ALL GONE SOUTH OR
TO THE WAR?-No fighting; no carous-
ing; no assault and battery suits to jar
the dignity of the town. Justices offices
are blanks, and constables at discount ;
whisky remains headed and hooped and
a sober matter of speculation; our Jail
vacant and the jailer catching fish-when
in want of scaly customer; an indef-
mite amount of good legal talent in
town eager for notoriety and fee.
Happy town. Nobody's hurt, and who's
afraid? SO mote it be.

LUMBER DocKs.-We notice that a
quantity of Railroad ties, Plaster lin the
rocky, Slaves and Lumber are being from
day 10 day received and shipped from E.
L. FULLER's dock, at the lower part of
the village. He has extended his docks
in nice and substantial style nearly down
to what is called tho Lower Diggins.-
Formerly, great part of this kind of ex-
port was received and shipped from docks
along the river between this village and
Mill Point. Is it owing TO the careful at
tention that Mr.. FULLER gives to the ar
rangement of those freights along his
dock that his business has increased so
rapidly! We should judge that the neat
ness with which he slows and piles these
cumbersome materials had not little TO
do with bringing him customers and sue

South Carolina. l found the mail at the
house of distinguished officer of the United
States army, in whose possession it was pac-
ed. All Of the letters had been examined and
their contents were mostly social A single
letter from the Manassas post mentioned the
estimated II rival OF troops from Manassas
just before the late battle, at one thousand a
day. This was the only public information of
warlike Importance. Some of the letters also
spoke of the crops, and the general represent
alton was that they were excellent, both OF
cotton and corn. Provisions too, seemed to
be plentiful enough, but in one letter there was
loud cry for salt, and in others for sugar,
coffee, and tea, and in another for clothing.
One might gather from the total contents, also
that there was scarcity Of arms and muni
tions of war
But the most striking parts of all those let
tiers was the intensified hate .ot most of the
writers for the noItherners and especially for
"the Yankees" as most of the northern peo-

The American minister for China is still at

distributed by Mr.. Lincoln to such Americans
as wished for diplomatic appointments, its oc,

dignifed hostility, such as made the Austrian
government reject the proffered envoy, and by
doing so remind Europe of the chastisement
inflicted by French arms, and the hopelessness
of the House OF Hapsburg protiting by the
stern lessons Of experience. The absurdity of
Francis Joseph'S government in taking advan-
tage of the American civil war to vent its spite
on MIR. Burlingame, because lie was the first
American senator TO propose the recognition
Of the Italian kingdom, is peculiarly manifest
to those who are personally acquainted with

traditions of the ancient school OF Metternith
could find in him anything OF a dangerous agi.

the most unfit for the semi barbarous society
of the court of Iekin, being refined as much
by education as by his own natural tender IL
cies. But sometimes poor Mr.. BurliDgame
might ask his friends, as well as his enemies
TO spare him. In me notable instance, the
former, with the best intentions possible,
