They had none Of a civil nature. He then

THE NAVAL DEPOT.

1t is with pleasure we notice the activ-
ity that characterizes the steps taken to
secure the location of the Naval Depot
at this point
Surely candid mind can not but see
the great advantage that we possess over
all competitors in the inaccessibilitv of
our harbor, when properly fortified, to an
invading fleet, its capacity as place of
rendezvous for our own forces, the depth
of water, sufficient to float any craft that
can successfully navigate the Lakes, and,
above all, the immense quantities Of tim
Der necessary for ship building, and that
of the best of quality.
The Governor Of Wisconsin has called
the attention of their Legislature to the
subject of the Naval Depot, and strongly
recommended Milwaukee as favorable
point; but we are confident that a fair
comparison of the advantages of the two
points can not fail to show the great SUI
periority that Grand Haven possesses.
Rev. VIM M. FERRY returned last week
from the eastern section of the State, and
from him we learn that perfect unanimi-
ty there prevails in favor of Grand Haven.
Great credit is due TO him for the energy
with which he has pushed forward the
subject, and we trust he will be well re-
warded for the interest evinced, and the
time devoted by him TO the matter by the
hearty appreciation of his fellowcilizens
His lorg residence in Michigan, and his
intimate acquaintance with the resources
of our own locality, has peculiarly fitted
him to successfully combine the weight
and influence of the State in our favor.
It was deemed necessary that some one
should proceed to Washington, in order
that our interests and advantages should
be properly represented there, and on
Monday last, in accordance with the reso-
luton of the Board of Supervisors, Hon.
THos. w. FERRY left for that point.
Whatever may be the result of the &C
tion of Congress, we can feel that Grand
Haven has spared no energy, time or in
fuence, in fair, honorable representation
of her advantages, and, if dispassionately
weighed, we have no fear but that right
decision will be attained.

THE NAVAL DEPOT.
Preamble and Resolutions relatiVe to the
location and establishment Of a Naval
Station and Dock Yard at Grand
Haven.

Whereas, The disturbed state Of our
country, consequent upon the Southern re-
belion, and the constitutional efforts of the
Federal Government to restore unity and
peace, has led TO complications with For
eign countries, forcing upon the General
Government the necessity of providing adj
equate means of self-defense and protec-
ton of the vast commerce, and other
property of the North West, along our
frontier lakes, the citizens of this State
deem il of the gravest Importance that
the government of the United States
should promptly locate and establish
Naval Station and Dock Yard for :he
construction Of armed vessels for such
protection. And,
Whereas, The Legislature of our State
at its present extraordinary session, con-
sidcring tho exposed situation of Mchi-
gan, as not only nearly surrounded by
navigable waters, but proximate to for
eign shores, and thereby imperiled by in
vasions, imminently cndangeriug the com
merce and other property of its citizens,
and having, by joint resolution, designat-
ed Grand Haven rs the only point with
in the State upon which all could unite,
as the most suitable place for such Naval
Station and Dock Yard, and formally in
structing and requesting our Senators and
Representatives in Congress to secure at
said place the location of such naval es-
adjustment. Therefore,
RESOLVED, That all honorable means
should be employed by the citizens of the
State, and more especially Ct this vicni-
ity, TO urgently press upon the attention
of Congress the peculiar facilities and
adaptation of the harbor Of Grand Ha-
ven for the important object Of naval
construction and tho defense of the i'm
mense commerce and other property Of
the North West.
Resolved, That in pursuance Of this OBJ
ject, Hon. Thos. w. Ferry be and is here
by appointed to represent this immediate
interest by cooperating with our delega-
ton in Congress in the use Of such eff
Gent measures as will secure to Grand Ha-

Veracious John Bull.

We have been amused by an article in
Rackwoods Magazine, for December,
1851, pretending to give "Some Account
of Both Sides of the American War"
We are informed in it that Mr.. Critten-
den's Compromise was proposed by him
with the consent of the South, but con-
temptuously refused by Mr.. Lincoln"
Mr.. Lincoln being at the time the Crit
tenden Compromise was offered private
citizen, of Springfield, ILL.,, this "con-
temptuous refusal" will be news to him,
and had great deal to do with the defeat
Of the measure!
In foot note the writer further in
forms us that "Mr. Crittendeu, n veuera-
bic and honored citizen Of Kentucky,
which he has during many years represent
ed in Congress, made an earnest attempt
to avert lie dissolution Of the Union, by
proposing that the constitution should re-
vert from the law that new State shall
be Slave or Free, according to the votes Of
the majority of the residents in its Ter
ritory,' to one resembling that of the
Missouri Compromise by which all
new States were to be Slave or Free as
they were formed North or South of the
southern line Of Missouri prolonged to the
Pacific Ocean. This proposal, made by a
Republican, appears very honorable to
him."
When we recollect that the Crittenden
Compromise proposed to admit new
States, with or without slavery, south of
the line of $500, as their constitutions
may provide, and prohibit slavery north
of that line, it will be seen at once what
laundering falsifier Blackwood's penny
a-liner lis, in this instance.
In another note he sagely informs the
British public that, Cup to the end Of
last month, eighty-nine newspapers are
said TO have been suppressed in the
Northern States since the secession Of
South Caiolina."
This is specimen of British Tory lit
erature, Of the most pretentious class.

lie should be stupidity ignorant with re-
gard to the war, if they rely for informa.

The Democratic State Convention


We publish the call for the Democrat
&c State Convention, to-day, with hearty
good will. We believe in the existence
and maintenance of parties when based
upon right principles. 1t is a great mis-
take to lend our ears 10 the emo party"
cry that iraversed the land, SO jubilant, a
six months since, and endeavored to crush
and demolish all the old landmarks in its
broad sweep. There must be principles
for parties to stand upon, and where these
are wanting the "ro party" advocates
can appropriately be placed. We Go not
desire to be placed in the "no party"
ranks. The principles of the Democratic
party are well known to be vigorous
prosecution of the war, and the mainten-
ance of our Union and Government
against all traitors and enemies, from
without and within, North or South, Alb
olitionists or Secessionists. What more,
or what else, can any true patriot desire
or ask forl They embrace the Union
our whole Union--nothing less-nothing
more. Can principles so liberal and just,
which find response in the heart Of ev-
cry true man, become less dear and lose
advocates by being reiterated in State
Convention? Mol public attention must
be aroused and directed to the principles
we as party adyocate--for it is only
upon them that our Nation and Govern
ernmont can exist.
Let US have q Democratic State Con-
vention and proclaim again our principles,
which will ever stand tho test.

Zollicoffer attacked Somerset OH Sun.
day morning, and severe engagement
ensued, in which Zollicoffer and Baiie
Peyton, Jr., the son of prominent poll
tician of Kentucky, were killed. The
rebels were repulsed with loss of 275
killed and wounded. Gen. Thomas pur-
sued them to their camp, 16 miles dis
tant, but they deserted it in the night, all
their equipage, cannon, stores, horses, DC,
falling into our hands. The Federal loss
is not yet known.
Information has been received from
Manassas by parties direct from there,
that the rebels have evacuated that point,
falling back further South. II is moi
known, but it is supposed to be to coun-
teract the movements of our troops from
the seaboard.
The defenccs of New Orleans are re-
ported to be of very weak and insuffic-
lent character.
John Johnson, Jerseyman impressed
into the rebel service in New Orleans, in
April last, escaped from Manassas a few
days since and has arrived at Philadel-
phia on his way home. He estimates the
force at Manassas at 10000, at Leesburg
$1,000, and at Ocoquan at $4,000. The
defeat of the rebels at Drainsville had a
depressing effect on the rebel army.
Mr.. Stanton has entered upon his du-
ties as Secretary Of War.
The report that Gen. Wool had sent
