Adopted Citizens and the War.

The value of our adopted citizens of ev.
cry nationality, but particularly the Ger
mans TO the Union cause, and their zeal
in the support Of the Government, in this
the day Of dire national calamity, is be-
yond all praise. They have proved them
selves the staunchest siends of the Re-
public and fight shoulder to shoulder with
the native born, and with zeal and ardor
that is sure to win the victory. Gen.
SIoEL, at their head, has proved himself
man for the times. Read the following
aspirations Of true, whole-souled patriot
ism:
"Gen, Sigel was serenaded at Will
ards tonight. His appearance was greet
ed with most vocifcrous cheering by The
throng. He said:
"My friends, l have not come here on
a pleasure trip, or to crafty my own
wishes, but from sense of duty-(good,
and applause ito SEQ higher authorities
and wait their action with regard to me
Daughter and APPLAUSE; nor have l, my
friends, come here to gather the laurels of
n soldier. Coming with such purpose
should do injustice TO those gallant men
who have fallen on the field before Fort
Henry, before Fort Donelson, in the bat
ties at Shiloh, Wilson's Creek and Pea
Ridge. Loud applause and three enthu-
siastic cheers for the hero of Pea Ridge.)
/ come here merely TO see whether l
can not be of some service, in the future,
to this country. (Applause.) l bring
you, gentlemen, the hearty greeting of the
Army of the West. (Applause.) l as
sure you that We have never forgotten
that we are soldiers of the Union-(ap-
plause) soldiers of this Republc-(ap-
plause THAT we are all tho children of
ono and the Same country, and the de-
tenders of one and the same great cause
Applause. "That's good Yes you have
You have done fighting West.")
Whenever greet deed was performed,
whenever rapid march was made, when
ever soldier Of the East has shown him
self true soldier of his country, we have
rejoced and felt honored; and, gentle
men, when making our dreary marches
through the rugged countries near the
Arkansas and White Rivers, we thought
that the eyes of the Army Of the Potomac
would follow us, and that they would not
forget us in our isolation in that far west
country, 1--WE did not), and l so may as
sure you that ! have found during my
trip from st. Louis to this place the pes
pie Of the United States ready for any
emergency that may arise. Applause

The michigan Cavalry.

A private letter speaking of the Mich
igan Cavalry regiments now with Gen.
Halleck's army, says: "Our Michigan
regiments have acquitted themselves no.
bly,, and have done and are now doing
nearly all the hard work. l trust they
are obtaining due credit for it among their
neighbors at home"
Yes, they have indeed acquitted them
selves nobly, and, without any disparage-
ment TO the brave soldiers of the New
England and Middle States, who respond
ed with the utmost alacrity and zeal to
the call of their country on the outbreak
of the rebellion, and have done noble SER
vice, wo point with peculiar pride to the
gallant deeds of our western troops who
have achieved the greatest triumphs
known in the annals Of modern warfare.
We read of their deeds of daring and he
roism in almost every hard fought battle
and, in more instances than one, their
bravery has saved our "grand army "
from defeat, and, perhaps, ruin. At the
late battle of Williamsburg, but for the
opportune arrival of the Brigade to which
our veteran Third is attached, Mcclellan
would in all probability have lost the day,
and who can predict the dire consequences
that would have followed.
The Michigan soldiers, cavalry and in
fantry, are every whore conspicuous, not
only as fighters but workers. Any severe
duties 10 be performed, the Michigan sol
diers are the ones called to perform them.
Any hard labor TO be done in the entrench-
ments, the hardy boys of the "pine
woods" are the ones TO do it. ANY pecu-
liar. dangers TO be encountered, force is
detailed from some western regiment to
surmount them. And what is true of
our own soldiers is, TO very great ex-
tent, true of all western volunteers. The
hard fought battles of the war have been
won by their valor. Already the popu-
lar heart beats with lore and admiration
toward them, and the voice of thousands
pronounce thom blessed. Let us not be
unmindful of our debt of gratitude to
them in this great and arduous struggle
for the supremacy of law and order over
anarchy and confusion. Let us not be
forgetfu Of our duty to their loved ones
at home, our obligations to administer
freely and without parsimony TO their
wants while their absent husbands, Faith
ers and brothers are enduring untold, I'M
realized hardsbips, tolls, and even death
for them, for us, and for our whole coun-
try,

Our SALT WoRKs.-We learn from
our Saginaw exchanges that strangers are

ufacture of salt.
AT Grand Rapids, the Messrs. WIND

salt works Of our State are thus stated
in the Scientific american:
"Thc commercial Importance of these
salnes may be best understood when we
say that between Lake Michigan and Salt
Lake, in Utah, no brine springs have been
discovered. Tho whole northwestern

Brine springs have been discovered west
of Michigan, but they lie in the British
Possessions. Michigan is the only State
of the Union which possesses supply Of

Supervisors Of our county, now in session,
will use the utmost liberality toward the
families Of our honored volunteers, and
make provision for their support worthy

their zeal and courage fail them not, in

strides in our State. Patriotism is by no

is ready when our country needs our SER

the Grandville Road. This company was
six weeks in completing track to Grand

Our duty as faithful historian com
pels us to state truly and impartially the
origin of the name Battle Point" an
appellation now used to designate the lit
tie jutting point on the opposite side of
the river to the claims just mentioned
The name at once suggests to the mind
all the horrors of bloody war, fierce en-
counter perhaps between the red man of
the forest, the rightful owner Of the soil,
and the intruding pale face, where the
deadly tomahawk, the swift-winged ar
row and the unerring bullet caused the
life.blood of contending foes TO crimson
the battlefield, and left the bones Of many
brave to bleach under the influences of
the gentle dew, the refreshing shower of
a summer, or the sharp frost Of dreary
winter-no faithful friend to care for their
burial. And some may even now pic
ture to themselves in imagination the cry
Of agony or shrek of despair that escaped
the ashy lips of some luckless prisoner as
he is tightly bound to the stake by the
cruel savages and the blazing fagots are
crowded closely around the victim of Indi-
an vengeance, writhing anon in fierce tor
ment that no pen can describe, till wei
come death puts an end to insupportable
tortures. But, reader, take breath; no
such tale of horror our pen unfolds IA
simple contest, vis vis, between two
sovereign squatters whose claims in too
close proximity for propensities so warlike,
engendered petty jealousies between re-
spective claimants, which caused, at times,
an easy flow of words known in the code
honorable, that terminated at times in
an exchange of civilities la Brooks, and
profuse ejectment of the crimson tide of
life from the nasal protuberauce of the
weaker combatant. The circumstances
and parties connected with the naming o:
this point are well known to our older cit
liens. -..f...
Pottawattamie Bayou was so named
from an Old indian, who, for many years
stationed his camp at its entrance. He
was a noble specimen Of the red man.
He married into the tribe Of the Ottawas,
but never lived in their villages or among
them, yet always near them, apparently
friendly, reserying to himself the right of
enjoying unmolested his own society and
unapproachable dignity.
Rosy Mound received its beautiful and
significant title from Hon. TIMo. EAST

man that assembled its summit, and found
its sides and apex crowned with wild roses
in richest profusiou, imparting the most
pleasing emotions To his delighted senses.

conclusion. During Buchansn's Admins

perpetuation of the Government was de-
stroyed. Mr.. Lincoln's conduct has restored
that confidence While Buchanan governed
the people mourned. Mr.. Lincon's policy
has made them rejoice. This is the whole
explanation.
The voters Of this State cannot be de-
ceived by these demagogues. They are as
willing to support the Government with
their means as with their blood. How in

sons upon the altar of their country to say

Eers are doing what they can to give aid
and comfort to the rebels, by misrepresent-
ing the condition of the national finances.
They have lied about the daily expenses of
the Government, and have falsely and
fraudulently magnifed the national debt.
Of course these efforts are appreciated by
their rebel friends. Every traitor newspa-

evidence that the Government cannot long
continue the contest, and urge their people
to hold out little while longer, and sue

them as an indication of Northern sympa-
