The LAKE NAVAL DEPoT. "A petition
is being circulated in this town and coun-
ty, setting forth, briefly, very few of the
reasons why the mouth of Grand River
should receive the attention, if not the
location, of Navy Yard for these Lakes
by our government. There are but few
in our county who really comprehend the
immense amount of material, stores, &C.,
which accompany Navy Yard, and also
the amount of money continually dis
bursed for labor and supplies. 1t is Of
more Importance to the Grand River Val
ley than almost any other improvement,
increasing the value of the timber of
Western Michigan, and many other bene-
fits we can not now mention. We hope
the petition will be universally signed, and
as strong delegation sent to Washington
as can be procured. Rev. Mr.. FERRY
has taken hold of the matter-the right
man, being tho earliest settler resident
in this county, well acquainted with every
locality about the mouth of this river,
and personally moro extensively known
than any man in the county. Let every
body sign the petition.

IsvILLE, KY, Dec. 10, 1861.

MEssRs. BARNS: My only excuse for
not writing you, ere this, is the absence
of news, up to about the time of our de-
parture from Marshall. After proper
effort on the part of our thorough and ef-
ficient Quarter Master, ROBERT S. INNEs,
our board was so improved that while at
Marshall we had no reason to complain,
and have all united in rendering our unit
ed thanks to the ladies Of Marshall and
vicinity for an excellent thanksgiving din
ner, furnished US by them, at which the
boys handsomely disposed of about one
hundred turkes, beside chickens, pies,
cakes, apples, and other good things too
numerous to mention-and some of the
boys were eating thanksgiving dinners,
night and day, for two or three days.
On Monday, the 16th inst, we were
ordered to be ready to take up our march
for Kentucky. The following morning,
Tuesday, long before the break of day,
our camp presented a lively scene, and,
at o 80 A. NJ, only thirty minutes past
the appointed time, we had knapsacks
packed, haversacks and canteens filled,
and were at the station ready to move.
An hour moro found us steaming
westward, arriving at Niles, Michigan,
at 4 o'clock p. NJ, where dinner had been
provided, by contract, but, as our officers
found it short of the contract, they only
having been thought of, and the men left
out, they decided with their usual prompt
ness to leave at once. After passing that
diapidated town, called New Buffalo
which, by the way, looks very old-we
reached Michigan City, Ind, about dark.
At this point we made short pause and
started on towards indianapolis, the Cap
ital of that State-a pleasant, thriving
city of about thirty thousand inhabitants
passing Lafayette, where we had coffee
and lunch. 1t is thriving town. Pass
ing through the State of Indiana We
found it beautiful State-the northern
i
part mostly prairie, and the southern part
well .imbered, rich and handsome, but
would much improve in appearance in the
hands of yankees. The buildings arc
mostly built OF logs; the chimneys oI
clay and sticks, laid together, climbing ur
the outside of the house. Every thing
differs much from Michigan. The build
ings are usually placed far back from the
crooked, ugly-looking lanes, called roads

creatures, all the way from head to foo

education or refinement have ever troub

A o'clock, p. NJ, and many of us for th'
first time planted our feet well in th'
muddy clay of this slave State. We ar

THE REVIVAL OF THE DEMO.
CRATIC PARTY.


The democratic State committee ol
Rhode Island have just held meeting
and resolved 10 "put again into working
order the old democratic party" as being
:" the surest and spcediest way Of dealing
political death to those chiefest and most
powerful enemies OF the Union and the
constitution, the abolitionists." That be-
ing the sentiment of the democracy Of
Rhode Island, it perfectly harmonizes with
tho democratic sentiment of the North
west, and we doubt not of the whole
country.
In the Northwest the sentiment is won
derfully strong, and it is purely popular
sentiment rs distinguished from move
ment of politicians 1t lacks develop
ment, because the opportunities of devel-
opment have not occurred, though some
indications of it were disclosed in the re-
cent State elections. We, as journalists,
see and feel more of il than appears upon
the surface to the casual observer, and
this through our business correspondence.
Letters como TO us daily from the seven
Northwestern States, and numerous of
the writers advert 10 the condition of the
country and assert their belief that there
is but one way out of the difficulties
which threaten the national existence, and
that is through the democratic party. In
every instance where THE TINES has sug-
gested the necessity Of revival of the
democratic party as essential to the ma
tional salvation, responsive cord in the
popular heart has seemed TO be touched,
for the return mails have brought us a
flood Of letters telling us how certainly
we have giver expression to the democrat
ic masses.
Now the democratic masses arc always
instinctively right. They have never been
wrong in the political'history of this gov
ernment. They have foreseen from the
beginning, as clearly as the profoundest
statesman, the drift of aboitionism and
the catastrophe of its triumph. In no
wise responsible for this war-forever pro-
testing against and resisting the causes
which have produced it-thcy constitute
to-day three-quar!crs of the army which
is carrying it on. Had they, when the
war began, stood back and left it to the
abolitionists, who made the war, 10 carry
it on, Washington would long ago have
been the Confederate Capital, and the
chief northern cities would lie at the mer-
cy of the Confederate armies. The men,
the party, who have made the war, can
never end it except in humiliation of the
North and final disruption Of the Union.
1t is this grand fact, distinctly realized by
the democratic masses, that is moving
them TO revival of the democratic party
preparatory TO the elections of the ensu-
ing year. Chicago Times, 24h mt.

A NARROW EscAPE.-On Saturday
last, Mr.. DeNKER, the engineer in Messrs.
ALBEE d WooDBURY's tannery, in this
village, was suddenly placed in perilous
condition by his clothing becoming at
tached to a shaft making one hundred
revolutions in minute. Mr. D. was car
ried around on the shaft many times be-
fore the engine could be reached and steam
shut of, and, when relieved, he had moth
ing on but sock and a wristband. He
received severe bruises, but no bones were
broken, and is now comfortable.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
NEW VOLUME.

nN the 9TH of September, 1861, the New
~ YoRK WEEKLY TRIBUNE commenced the
twenty first year Of its existence; the DAILY
TRIBUNE being some months olderand the SEMI
WEEKLY TTIBUNE somewhat younger For more
than twenty years this journal has labored in
what its conductors have sclt TO be the cause of
Humanity, Justice and Freedom, endeavoring z
to meliorate the condition of the oppressed and
unfortunate TO honor aud encourage useful exer-
tion in whatever sphere, and, to promote by all
means the moral, intellectual and material adj
vancemont of our country. 1t has aimed TO be
right rather than popular and to espouse and
commend to-day the truth that others may not
be willingto accept till tomorrow. In pursuing
this course, mistakes have doubtless been made
and faults committed, but having in all things
melted our readers TO think and judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindly our own couclu-
sions, we believe we may fairly claim for this
journal the credit of having qualified its readers
to detect and expose even its own errors
AS to the civil war now devastating our coun-
try, we hold it to have originated in IA rebellion
more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, than was ev-
or before known--a rebellion designed to raise
higher the walls of caste and tighten the chains
OF oppression. Having done all we could with
out surrender of vital principle TO avoid this
war, and witnessed the forbearance, meekness
and long suffering with which the Federal Gov
ernment sought to avert its horrors, we hold il
our clear duty, with that of every other citizen,
to stand by the nation and its fairly chosen rul-
ers, and to second with all our energies their eff
forts to uphold the Union, the Contitution,
and the supremacy of the Laws. And, though
the rebellion has become, through usurpation,
deception, terrorism, and spoilation, fearfully
strong, we believe the American Republic far
stronger, and that the unanimous, earnest efforts
of loyal hearts and hands will insure its over
throw.
In crisis like the present our columns must
be largely engrossed with the current history OF
the war for the Union. We shall not, however,
remit that attention TO Literature, TO Foreign
A fairs, to Agricultural Progress, to Crops, Mar
kets, &C., &C., which has already, we trust, won
for the TRIBUNE an honorable position anon &
its cotemporaries. Our main object is and shall
be to produce n comprehensive newspaper, from
which careful reader may glean n vivid and
faithful history Of the times. As our facilities
for acquiring information increase with years,
we trust an improvement in the contents of our
journal is perccptiblc, and we still hope to
"make each day critic on the last" In this
hope, we solicit continuance of the generous
measure of patronage hitherto accorded to ouI
journal.
