A Suggestion.

Extraordinary preparations have been
made, as is well known, for sugar making,
the present season, and no doubt much
interest is excited in the minds of citizens
generally, to know the quantity that shall
be so manufactured within our county.
Hence the question arises, how shall we
obtain the desired informationG Allow
us to make suggestion relative to that
point:
1t is to be presumed that the season Of
sugar making will have come to close,
or nearly so, at the time of our next an
nual township meetings-the 7th Of April
next. Let the Board of Inspectors of
Elections, at that time, be selfconsti-
tuted committee, for their respective town.
ships, to inquire of electors offering their
votes, the number of pounds of sugar by
each made respectively, who have engag-
ed in that business, and let such Board
report to the County Clerk, or TO the
publishers of some newspaper within the
county, who shall publish a statement
thereof, exhibiting the amount produced
in each township respectively and the
sum total manufactured in the entire
county, with any facts of special interest
that may be connected with this impor-
tant branch of domestic industry.
We doubt not that, could the precise
figures be arrived at, citizens Of largest
calculation will be astonished at the re-
suit.
Will our township officers please make
a note of the above suggestion, act there
on, and give publicity to the information
so elicitedl

THE WAR.


The canuonading at Island No, 10 is
still going on. Gen. Pope allowed reb-
ell gunboat TO approach within fifty yards
of masked battery, and then sunk her,
killing fifteen Of those on board. He
had previously allowed five rebel steam
ers to pass on towards New Madrid, and
they are now between his batteries. Over
dozen vessels, including the floating bat
terry and gathering ram, are now above
him, and will be sunk or captured.
Gen. Grant has been reinstated in COM
mand Of the expedition now lying at Sa-
vannah, on the Tennessee.
Dispatches in the Memphis papers con-
firm the death of McCulloch and McIn-
tosh.
1t is believed at Washington that the
national flag again floats over New Or
leans.
A battle has been fought near Win
chester, Va, commencing about nine o.
clock in the morning and continuing I'M

manded by General Shields, who was
slightly injured by fragment of SHE'LL
Our victory was complete. Several guns
and large number of prisoners were cap.
tured. AT the latest accounts, the rebels
were in full retreat, and the cavalry in

ture of Yancey, and it may be set down
as extremely improbable.
The government has contracted with
the builders of the Monitor for the con
sLruction of six more vessels similar tC
the one they have already turned out.
Proposals are TO be opened on Monday
for the construction of q number of iron
clad vessels. AS many as dozen, it j.
thought, will be built.
The latest intelligence from Island No

tinued. Commodore Foote maintained

WHERE ARE WE DRIFTING


Messrs. BARNS: The Old Ship of
State, that was taken into a Chicago dry
dock, in June, 1859, and converted into
a Wabash Flat Boat, don't seem to work
well. The upper cabin, first class accom-
modations, for four millions of African
gentlemen, have made her unwieldy and
top-heavy. All her constitutional ballast
was thrown overboord, every inch of can
vas spread to force her ahead, and such a
high pressure of steam raised that she col
lapsed several of her flues, and started
others TO leaking badly-but still she
makes great leeway. A Massachusetts
engineer, a graduate from that college
where they have discovered a new princi-
plo that is not controlled by the laws of
men, of nature, or of natures God, but
higher law" still, reset her valve,
purposing to work expansion, giving her
steam all on one end, she made half
revolution, gave one deafening exhaust,
stopped dead on her center, and there she
sticks-no skill or leverage power of that
weak and fanatical school of engineers
can get her off. The machine won't re-
volve. In that unsafe condition the ship
has been headed off her course, and is now
pounding and rolling in the troughs of q
mad. sea. A furious storm from the
southland is drifting her on to the danger
GUS coast Of New England, while black,
eddying, engulphing current, that has
swamped State after State, is setting from
that coast to the south'ard-the two meet
ing are splashiug their black, bloody and
corrosive waves over the converted ship,
threatening to drift her in that malstrom
from which there is no escape, no rescue.
But this new school on political jurispru-
dence Tor imprudence,) think there is no
danger Of any such catastrophe, though
the treasury has sprung leak, and eight
hundred millions of dollars have already
run out, still, if they can only get the mig
ger in this upper cabin, stream of dol
lars may run continually as large as a
hogsheOd, and she will proudly and gal
lantly float with her colors all flying.
But it troubles them moro how to get
the sons of Africa to promenade the up
per deck than it did Noah in autediluvian
times. The programme now submitted
and adopted is, TO run this battery into
every southern port, ship the distinguish
ed individual, leave $1,000 as a "compen-

associates would feel 10 parting with him,

the shot. Splendid scheme! We have
drawn the darkey. He is worth nothing.
Let us SEQ what he has cost: The feder-
al government must have one hundred
and sixty-6ve millions of dollars this year
to meet current expenses. The proper

100000; Wisconsin and Michigan $4,-

more than the entire commerce of the
Lakes is worth. Can We raise itY
"Our country is not worth a rush with
out little blood-letting," and if this
don't bleed us enough, by the time we
are depleted for this negrophobia, there
will not be much danger of appoplexy
again, or a rush of blood to the head
"to steal away our reason and influence
the BRAIN" Let us pause on the ruins
such fanaticism has made. Let us re-
sumo the old ship, float her in the BaIti-
moro dry dock, cast that upper cabin plat
form overheard, every plank, repair her
fues, set her up on an even keel, with
her old constitutional ballast, caulk,
double-butt, and fasten all leakages-in
fact, set her afloat as she was when she
drifted out of the old confederate stream
into the main channel, and no storm,
from any quarter, would eyer endanger
her again. You can go your pile on that.

The Presidents Military Orders.

Our telegraphic intelligence this morn
ing contains three orders by the President,
as COMMANDMENTS Chief Of the army and
navy; the first dated on the 9th of Jan
uary last, directing that grand move
ment by the land and naval forces against
the insurgents be made on the 22d day
Of February then ensuing; the second,
dated on the 9Th inst, directing that the
army of the Potomac be divided into five
corps, the third, dated on the 18th inst,
directing that General Mcclellan be re-
lieved from the general command of the
army while he shall lead the army Of the
Potomac in the field.
The publication of these orders throws
no new light upon events. The grand
movement by the army and navy against
the rebels was commenced about the 22d
day of February, as the President had
directed; it was announced three days
ago that the army of the Potomac had
been divided into five corps and it has
been perfectly understood all the while
that General Mcclellan would take the
field in person when the army of the Pc
tomac should move, and that when he had
taken the field he would of necessity be
relieved Of the general command of tho
army, as General Scott was relieved O
such command when he took the field il
Mexico.
We remarked yesterday that we might
reasonably suppose, after Gen. McClcl
lan's splendid achievement of forcing, By
military strategy and without loss of life
tho rebels to abandon Centervilo and
Manassas and their whole line of defenses
on the Upper and Lower Potomac, and
fly in confusion, that the abolition assaults
upon him would cease. That suppositiou
was mistake. Aboitionism has seized
upon the Presidents order relieving Gen.
Mcclellan of the general command of the
army while leading the army of the Pc
tomac in the field, and tried TO torture il
into an order for the degradation of Gen
Mcclellan. How much longer will the
country tolerate this fendish pursuit o
the man to whom, above all other men
it is indebted for the speedy prospective
suppression of the rebellion!-C hicogc

EVERY genuine Union man is COMPEL
ed to take precisely the same ground
against the Sumner plan Of treating the
recovered rebel States as the democratic
press has taken. Though Montgomery
Blair, Postmaster General, is II strong an
ti-slavery man, he is nevertheless Union
man, and here is what he says of the
Sumner plan in letter addressed 10 the
meeting held in New York the other even
ing in support Of that plan:
g do not concur in the proposition
that certain States have been recently
overturned and wholly subverted as men,
bers of the Federal Union,' upon which
the call is based. This is in substance
what the Confederates themselves claim,
and the fact that secession is maintained

the same manner as they have treated

Messrs. BARNS; When travelling thro'

THE VERY LATEST.

The entire national debt is now four
hundred millions of dollars.
The publication of war news in direct
violation of the order of the Secretary OF
War has become so fragrant that it is
found necessary TO institute a court-mar-
tial for the trial and punishment of such
offenders.
Intelligence from Island No. 10 up to
Sunday shows that the bombardment was
steadily progressing The upper battery
had not fired gun for two days, and was
probably effectually silenced. The high
water is drowning out the rebels.
The steamer @. Livingston has arrived
at Fortress Monroe from Hatteras Inlet.
Immediately after the occupation of New
berne, an expedition to Beaufort was
started by General Burnside. The place,
was, however, evacuated before our troops
approached. Fort Macon was blown up
by the rebels, and the steamer Nashville
burned.
On the day General Burnside occupied
Newberne, 1000 troops were on the road
to Goldsboro.
The expedition to Beaufort has not
been reported back, except the capture of
the steamer Nashville by our blockading
feet, as she was leaving the place on the
approach of our troops.
News from Fort Pickens state that the
impression was that Gen. Bragg had left
Pensacola, and says the rebel guns had
been turned inland, probably in expecta-
ton of a visit from Gen. Butler.
A despatch from Winchester, dated
March Gath, says that Gen. Banks was
then within two miles of Strasburg.
On the Goth Gen. Burnside sent a
force with several gunboats to Washing
ton, N. c. No opposition was made to
landing. Our troops occupied the town,
and the Union flag is flying on the Court
House.

ONE OF THE "LAPEER TRAIToRs" RE-
TURNED.-On Tuesday last Isaiah Butler
passed through this city on his way to
North Branch, from Fort Lafayette. Mr..
Butler states that from the day of his ar
rest to this time, Notwithstanding his re-
peated and urgent solicitations, he has
never had any other examination than a
thorough one of his pockets and person
when first arrested, after his arrival in De.
troit. There everything was taken from
him-his money, papers, even his spec
tacles and case. He says that all state.
ments rs to an examination, and the thous-
and conflicting charges made against him
are unqualifiedly false, as also is the one
that he took an oath to support the GOV.
eminent on his release. He signed pa.
per to the effect that he would not aid in
any way the rebellion, and this he was
perfectly willing to do.
