While thus engaged both vessels grounded.

MILWAUKEE DAILY SENTINEL.-The lar.
gest and best commercial paper which comes
daily to our paper from Wisconsin, is the
Sentinel, Jermain & Brightman, publishers
and prcprietors. With an enterprise wor.
thy of the highest commentator, the pub
fishers throw out five editions daily, to ac-
conmodatc all the various railway trains
running out Of the city, SO as to provide
the subscribers along these lines with the
very latest news up to the time of the de-
parture Of the trains. Besides the regular
dispatches it also takes exclusive specials"
which give marked additional interest to
the paper.
The first morning edition of the paper
which is issued at 10 p. M, arrives in this
city o'clock p. m. of the next day, and
this edition will provide or readers with
the very latest news We perceive that
several of our citizens take this edition,
but its circulation should Immediately be
doubled in this vicinity. Will the pub
fishers transfer US from the tho "third
morning edition" to the "first morning ed-

A Coon Acr.-On the 18th inst, eight
contrabands seized the rebel armed steamer
Planter, lying of Charleston, while her of.
ficers were on shore, got up steam, and run
her out and surrendered her to our block
aiding squadron. In passing the rebel forts
they had the confederate flag flying, and
made all the customary salutes, but when
they got out of range Of the heaviest gun,
they run up the white flag, just in time to
save the boat from destruction by our own
guns. The Planter was used as dispatch
boat, was well armed, and was worth Sl2,-
900. Flag officer Dupont commends these
intelligent contrabands for their gallant ex-
plot, to the kindest consideration Of the
government.

WHEN WILL People LEARN WISDOM p
The effects upon the human system every
where apparent, that the common, crude
kinds of saleratus are bad, ought to teach
wisdom to people to avoid such poisonous
compounds. They cost as much as De
Lands chemical saleratus, ana then do not
produce those beautiful light and nutritious
biscuits enjoyed only by those who use the
better article. The time may never come
that everybody will learn to tax; the good
in preference to the bad, but the speed of
knowledge in this paticular is indeed won
dcriul. People in thousands of cities and
towns call for DeLand's chemical saleratus
only, and will have no other

T Parson Brownlow recently said in

B0 dIoOu OIOWulO" lCCEllIy Sdlu I'LL
some public remarks:-
"There is a great deal of ignorance at the
North as well rs the South, and instanced
the common idea entertained among us that
this rebellion is the work Of sLdrehoLders. =
That is in no sense true. The Shareholders
were conservatives generally feared
the loss Of property which dsunion would
bring upon them whereas those who had
nothing to lose were easily Influenced by
the demagogufs who persuaded them that
abolitionists would free the negroes and let
them loose among them"
This is like the argument made by Hon.
F. P. Blair, jr., in announcing the Presi
dents policy. Most minds at the North
overlook the fact that with the south it is
the negro question and not the slavery
question, which led to the rebellion.
