The Great Northwest.

The powers that be are awakening to the
value and importance of the Northwest as a
part of the Union. Heretofore we have been
sadly neglected; all the public appropriations
of any magnitude have been bestowed upon
the East ard South, while we have been left
to make our own improvements, and develop
our resources out of our own pockets. But
the mighty part we are playing in the pres
ent crisis with our almost inexhaustable re-
sources, and withal the sturdy and incorrupt-
IDLE love Of the Union evinced by her sons.
whose valor has been proven on the hardest
fought battle fields OF the war, and where our
most signal triumphs have been gained, have
opened the eyes of the Government to our
worth, and the necessity Of placing us upon
footing that will render US safe against any
future contingency that might arise calculat-
ed to cripple US. The Congressional Com
mittee upon the Defenses and Notifications
of the Great Lakes and Rivers of the North
west have report prepared for Congress, Gt
was probably presented last Tuesday, recon-
mending that steps be Immediately taken to
locate naval depot and military armory up
on Lake Michigan, probably near Chicago,
and that preparations be made TO arm the
whole of the American vessels upon the lakes
1t is estimated that there are in this trade
| 200 American vessels to 900 British, and
x 600 American sailors to 5000 British -
The Committee will recommend the erection
of such Notifications at Mackinaw Strait as
will make it the Gibraltar, as it is really the
key, Of our Northwestern frontier. 1t is rep
resented by the Committee that the majority
of the population of the loyal States is west
Of the Allegheny mountains, and that the
line of lake coast exceeds the whole length Of
our Atlantic coast, and that our commerce
on the lakes is greater than our whole foreign
trade. TO complete the defenses and render
communication with all parts Of the North
west secure from interruption by a foreign
foe, it will a'so be recommended that a mill
tary railroad shall be Immediately construct
ed from the mouth Of the Menominee River,
or Bade non quet, on Lake Michigan, to Mar
quette, on Lake Superior, and that a ship ca
nal shall be built from Chicago to the Miss
issippi River. 1t is said that these recon-
mcndations have the approval of Mcclellan.
