Death by S.icid' OF Harvey Me-
AIniss, Of PORT sEs.rOea.

We have by the Sarnia OJSerr0 the
particulars of the death by suicide, at
Port Huron on Wednesday, of Mr.. Iiar-
vcy McAlpin, well known to many Of our
citizens as the former law partner of Mr..
Wan Il. Mitchell, of Port Huron. He
ca!cdnt the PostoGice in the morning,
and got two letters, one of which he
opened, and after reading few lines OF
its contents, thrust both into his vest
pnckct. ard hurried homeward. On his
way he called at Mr.. Haslett's, and asked
that lcnl.,nan if he bad pistol as he
wanted to shoot n cat that was haunting
his lacmiscs, aud which was very trouble
some Mr.. llaslett stated that he had
not the instrument rcquired this led to
a call at Mr.. Travors' where a similar
story was told; and the latter having the
desired weapon, loaded il with olugS or
hall, at dccca>cd's request. He then
proceeded home, embraced his children,
retired to his room, and discharged the
contents of the pistol into his chest, the
shot taking effect little below the heart.
He lived about an hour after committing
the fatal act, aud was able to converse
for about half of that period. On being
questioned as to the cause which led him
to destroy himself, he begged to be asked
no questions, nor would he assign any
reason, SO that the cause is matter of con-
lecture. Some attribute it to that strange
nfatuation, ---Sprtualism, -----of which
both the deceased and his wife had be-
came victims. She is now away on a
lccturing tour in Ohio on that subject
Others think the embarrassed state of
his circumstances prompted the act -
The letters he received might have af-
forded some clue to the mystery, but
these are not to be found. Possibly the
parties who wrote them may be able to
state their purport, and this may afford a
clue; but, in the meantime, all is dark.
Four children--two girls, respectively IL
and 10 years Of age, and two younger
boys-are thus thrown on the world
The deceased himself was about 30 years
of age, and had a good reputation as a
professional man.

From the Buffalo Express, Jan ~
The Future Of the Salt Wells OF
the state Of New York.
BY II. W. uAsKiNs.

The late recommendation Of Governor
MoRGAN TO raise the State duty upon salt
manufactured at the State brine springs,
in Onondaga county, from five cents, its
present rate, to ten cents per barrel, has
called out some newspaper discuSsion.-
a writer for the New York Ij1Jnnc, who
calls himself "Syracuse," opposes the in
crease of duty, upon the ground that such
increase will lessen the quantity sold, aud
so iniurc the business of salt making, aud
all other pursuits and callings dependent
thereon The Editor of the Tribune, on
the contrary, defends theproposed change
upon the ground that the canal enlarge
ment has provided cheaper transit of
the salt to the consumer, and that an IN
creased duty should aid the State to pay
the cost of this provision.
But in all this, neither the Governor,
nor those writers who have interested
themselves in the question of this salt
duty, have taken the least notice of an
element of this question which is
paramount, in power and control, to
all and any legislation in case-aud tins
element is GeIogicR one.
The market for the Onondaga salt ever
has been, and ever must be, the Valley
it is there met by the Ocean salt. From
the Valley of the Lakes it cannot go
South, over the summit, into the valley
of the Ohio, because it is there met by
the product of the Kama VIA salt wells, in
that valley
And now, in the very midst Of this
Valley of the akc>-iu the very centre
of the rast market for the Ononda9a salt,
Geo'ogy has provided every means of pro-
dncing cheaper supply of salt, for the
Valley of the Lakes Here is power
that, at once, ogerrides all legislation,
and naturally assumes the guidance OF
this entire question.
The brine wells of Saginaw, Michigan,
will furnish salt for all the Valley of the
Lakes, and vastly more, if needed, and
with the following advantages over the
Onondaga product At Saginaw the
brine is stronger, the fuel is cheaper, the
barrels are cheaper, no duty, whatever,
is paid to the State and, lastly, the pro-
duct is conveyed from the producer to the
consumer, at less charge for transpor-
tation.
1t matters little, then, what the future
legislation shall be, in regard to Onon-
daga salt; for, whether that salt shall pay
duty of ten cents, or five cents, or ne
duty all, per barrel, the the result viii
be the same. In either case, the Sagi.
Jaw salt will ultimately take the market
and Onondaga salt, for want of demand
must wholly cease to be made. This re
suit is certain, subject only to the Ques
ton of time.

SALT. - We occupy large portion Of
our paper this week with salilerous read
ing, which we presume will not prove
altogether unpalatable. The article from
the pen of II. w. HAsKINs, which we
copy from the Buffalo Express, coming
from a Saginaw man would be considered
slightly extravagant, to say the least,
but it will hardly be claimed that New
Yorker has gone wild on the subject of
"Sagiuaw Salt" There is cctainly much
allowance to be made for the discourage
ments yet to be met with in the salt
operations Of this valley, but we GER
tainly hope the expectations of Mr.
HAsKINs, may be fully realized, and the
sooner the better.

Pre- EMPTIoNs. - Prescriptions upon
United States land arc good only, when
the pre-cmptor settles upon and improves
the land. The mere cutting of brush
even clearing, &c., where there is no
occupancy Of the land by the pre-cmptor
does not make the claim good. Land 50
situated is subject to presumption by
other parties. Where claims have been
prorea up, and the fact that there has
been no settlement and occupation, can be
proved--the sale is void, and the land is
subject to sale just the same as it was
before presumption and sale. 1t is time
this matter was better understood, as
many who would become bona-fde set.
tiers are kept 10y false prescriptions and
fraudulent sales, from locating - and
some of the choicest land in our section
kept by this means out of the market.

FALSE Views. - We fear that the
North are being deceived by stories Of
poverty and restitution at the South --
Doubtless the insurgents are bcgInin
TO experience the effects of rcvo!ution,
but they expected to, AMI hence prlra-
ton and even distress would not operate
upon them as in other times. Our South
crn exchanges all stoutly deny these
stories, and such States as Georgia and
Louisiana have large wealth and re-
sources. The same stories in relation to
poverty, starvation, turbulence of work
ing classes, stoppage of commerce and
the ruin of manufactures at the North,
prevail extensively at the South and are
widely credited; and the Southern people
are to large extent, patiently awaiting
the day when our necessities shall compel
us to surrender. Not all uncomfortable
portion of the North are awaiting SINH
lar result from similar causes at the
South. We do not want to see so i'm.
portant crisis considered from false
premises, and we have no doubt that the
necessities of the South will not quell
