The Best ROUTE. We had the pleasure
last week of meeting j. H. Whitman the
gentlcmanly agent Of the Detroit & Mil
waukee Railway, was in, town last week,
presenting the merits of this favorite route
to the eastern cities. Favorable arrange
msnts for connections have been made with
the Milwaukee & Prairie du Chen Railw az
Co., and we have the pleasure Of stating
the ocean steamers Milwaukee and Detroit
now make trips twice day, and that pas.
sengers by the day express trains can make
close connection with the 4:l5 boat, or by
the night express train can take the 400 a.
m. boat for Grand Haven. The distance
across the Lake is eighty five miles which
is made in six hours with as much regular.
ity as Railway train; and pleasanter trip
than ride across Lake Michigan cannot
be found between McGregor. and N. York.
The distance is moreover about 100 miles
shorter than by any other route. So that
the element Of comfort. speed, and pleasure
are subserved by taking the Grand Haven
route. g. a .... ,ua

to him in hand paid, will furnish its neces.

John Bull again Bell;gerent.
Late advices from Liverpool state that
''merry England" is mad, and that Johnny
Bull has got the distemper badly, all be-
cause Minister Adams gave shipping firm
in England letter to Com. Dupont, assur-
ing him that the consignments Of that
vessel were not for the rebels, but for the
Mexicans! This it is, and nothing more
We have ceased to feel alarm at the
irasc7biity Of the English government
The blockade Of our ports is enforced to
cut the rebels off from supplies, and to pre-
vent other powers from furnishing the
same to them. Evidence was produced to
satisfy. Minister Adams that the supplies
which were covered by his letter, were for
n neutral power, and therefore not to be
embarrassed in transit But wherefore
England's ragcs She has no quarrel with
Mexico. Why does the British government
stand forth to champion France, her ola
enemy and prcsen. rival?
Every day for the past two years has she
violated the rights Of ncutrals and made
fair casus bellins, by fitting out armed
vessels, and supplying the rebels with
materials Of war. Indeed, 50 far has this
traffic. extended that every battlefield shows
the effects Of shot and shell from English
-arsenals, fred by English guns. Even
cartridge boxes. knapsacks, ETC., bear the
English trade mark upon them, showing
the success with which England has fought
us, while pretending friendly relations.
9" It obvious to the dullcst comprehension,
that she is endeavoring to seek quarrel
with us that she may break our blockade,
and supply herself with cotton, and like
the coward that she is, brstles and foams
and challenges, now that this government
is in trouble. As for us, and we believe we
fairly represent the temper Of the people,
we protest that hereafter our Ministers shall
not stand cap in hand at the Court of St.
James, apologizing, pleading and confess
ing to government that has not ceased to
divide, injure and destroy the power of this
Republic. Let not the amenities and cour-
tcsies be wanting between the two powers;
let not rashness dethrone judgment; but
aet unredressed injury and insult be follow
ed hereafter by the recall of our Minister,
and leave time take care of the rest.
