A Big Haul Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Levi Spielmau, detected woman issuing
from his cellar carrying in her arms a Jug Of
Maple Moasses and some other things which
she had stolen He informed Chief Of Police,
Amos Clark, Of the affair, and the woman
was arrested Captain Clark then learned
her place of residence, Henry street, and pro
cceded at once to senrch the house. The
search resulted in finding a large lot Of
stolon goods Of almost every description,
such as ladies clothing, of all kinds and
qualities, silk delaine, alpaca, calico, &c ,
undertaking, hoop skirts, baby dresses, and
every conceivable article Of women and chill
dren's apparel also several articles of men
clothing Several Of the dresses had breast.
pins attached. Further search disclosed a
large amount of jewelry, such as breast-pins,
earrings, iingerrings, bracelets, necklaces,
&c, some OF them quite valuable also silver
spoons, forks, &c, The accumulation must
have been the work of several months.
The womans husband was then arrested,
and both Me now confined in the Station
House awaiting an examination. The name
OF the parties is given as Frank and Chris
tina Berkins. Several of the stolen articles
bear the names of persons residing in Gin
cinnad. The evidence against Berkins and
his wife is said to be conclusive, and they
will doubtless find quarters in the Ohio Pen
itentiary for at least a year or two
The stolen goods we're on exhibition at tho
Station House this morning and attracted
quite a crowd They have since been remov-
ed to the Mayors Office, and persons having
lost articles of the above description, had bet.
ter cSl and make an examination.

TERRIFIC GALE on LAKE SUPERIoR-
STEAMER MICHIGAN NEARLY WREoKED.--
There was a terrific gale on Lake Superior
on Friday night last, as is reported BY a pas-
senger who was on the steamer Michigan.
He says it was the opinion Of old navigators
Of those waters that for fury the storm was
never equalled on Lake Superior. The
Northern Light was in the gale, and rode
it out with safety, although she narrowly
escaped going under. The gale commenced
on Friday night last, at half-past twelve
O'Clock, and continued for fifteen hours, with
the wind from the north. The steamers
Michigan and Sunbeam were caught in it
above Eagle Harb0r without any possible
chance of making harbor. The Sunbeam
was seen about nine O'Clock Friday morn
ing, and was supposed to be making the Ice
of Isle Royal. The Michigan became un-
manageable about eight O'Clock in the morn
ing, and continued on through the day, the
seas making clean breaches over her uppsr
works, and damaging the boat considerable,
and had it not been for her superior sea-
going qualities, she must have been lost. At
three O'Clock in the afternoon, all was given
uP'fOr lost as the boat was rapidly drifting
towards the shore. The passengers we're
provided with life pressrvers and Goats and
everything done to make the escape Ofall on
board as soon as possible. As the boat near
ed the shore-about three miles from Eagle
River-a reef Of rocks was discovered about
quarter Of mile from the shore, on which
it seemed evident the boat must strike. The
engines were stopped, and the boat drifted
SONS distance, finally being lifted over the
reef as by miracle, without striking. Both
anchors we're Immediately lowered, and the
boat saved. Throughout the whole day the
passengers, especially the ladies, behaved
with great SoolHOss and presence Of mind.

he truth of he report that Jaf Davis
Is about 10 arm and put half q million Of
slaves into the field, on the promise Of free
don and land when the var is over, may
well be doubted. II true, it shows the
desperation to whicn the rebels are re-
duesd. !, The rebellion would thus destroy.
that which Il Was intended to conserve and
BaaII rsndas bstbslual and safe. A half million
Of slaves trained and instructed in militia
...,-. y, msifsrs, and their freedom promised,
- ovid not again be reduced to slavery
s7.Ea sho1ld their tresohsrons masters, as they
sight attemptit And some hundreds Of
thousands Of free colored men, imbued
.ssa -a7 somewhat with s military spirit and used
81 70 handling arms, would be an element
~ most dangerous and one which would
aiaa eventually work ont entire emsncipatiOn.
~ In any event slavsry is doomed The
rebellion has, at least accomplished SO
much. The Presidents proclamation frees
ell The slaves in rebel States, and the whole
0pbFerS SfGhs National Government is pledg-
ed to secure to the slaves the enjoyment Of
,etla their liberties.
lsass Nov, In addition to this, should JEFF
.ssl Davis arm portion Of the slaves to fight
ssa.s for the rebellion on The promise of their
emancipation, the freedom of the eEtirc
body Of slaves would inevitably follow.
The rebels have made large use Of
slaves in carrying on The war, in building
- forti6cations and in other ways, and to
is limited extent have pEt arms in their
hands. But In all this there has been no
promise or intention Of manumission.
~ We do not believe, as hard pressed as
they may be, that the rebels dare arm their
slaves. Il would not be safe to trust them.
There might be danger that they would
turn their arms against their masters. No
n intelligent slave at The South, scarcely any
one Of them, is 50 besotted that he does not
-fnow Of the Presidents PROCLAMATION and
is looking for his deliverance. Such SOL
disrs would not be spttO fight against or
shoot down their deliverers. Besides, if
4ss, JsGDsvis had the will; he has not the abil-
ity to arm such number Of slaves.
