The & Fine Old RnsIish Gentleman. ;,

] inc = zine tld kmGiISh gentleman. y
What kind Of creature is " the English
country gentleman Writers have so
often praised his noble and generous quail
tiles, that we confess to little bewilder-
ment at a description Of him which we
| find in a recent number of the London
Times. That journal Hkens him to the
southern Shareholders, Of whom it says:
Their daily habits are in accordance with
their social position, and English visitors
recognise IN them the nearest approach to the
English country gentleman"
Now, weare not familiar with the English
country gentleman; but we know what
majority OF the planters are; for we have
too long in Congress and ont Of it, been
forced to observe the characteristics of
that type Of man calling itself the isSouth-
ern Gentleman But we did not imagine,
until the Times assured US oft, that there
was any likeness between them.
we wish the Times had dilated little
on this genial topic We wish it had de-
scribed more minutely the habits and ap-
pearauce Of the English country gentleman.
We should like to have been told, for in
stance, whether the English country gentle
man is in the habit of filing his mouth
with tobacco-and, ifhe is, whether he ejac-
ulaies it at a mark with any degree Of ae-
curacy. Does he whip the wives Of the
labOrers who till his lands? Does he de-
bauch their daughters2 Does he sell his
own children into bondage2 How far may
be be described as ignorant, and vulgar
and rufianly? Does he go about among
his acquaintances with bowie-knife and
revolver concealed on his person2 Does
he assas sinate his intimate friend after
dinner, because Of a slight difference Of
opinion about the age of a horse2 And
having done so, do his admiring fellows,
the other English country gentleman, send
him to Parliament, as Wigfall was sent to
The Senate?
Is it true, ns the Times insinuates, that
the English country gentleman abhors |
common schools and popular education? |
or that he would prefer to see near him a 1
dozen whiskey distilleries rather than a |
single institution of learning? Does the |
English country gentleman incite the Gre |
tainers," Of whom the Times speaks, to |
mob travellers aad tar and feather the |
passing stranger And having done this, !
does the English country gentlemen boast
Of his hospitality Does he denounee free
speech, and hang or mutilate the free
speaker
Does the English country gentleman de-
spise law, and violate it without shame or
hesitation? Is he proud of being at once
} law-maker and a law-breaker?
All this may be true and the Times
'ught to be well informed But in that
case we suppose the English people are not
of the CLASSY. Y. Post

General Grant


The Chicago Tribune learns from let
ter from gentlemen who was through
the recent brilliant campaign of General
Grant up to the time the enemy crossed the
Big Black in the retreat toward Vicks-
burg, that in starting on the movement,
the General disincumbered himself Of eve
rything, setting an example to his officers
and men. He took neither horse nor a
servant. overcOat nor a blanket, nor tent,
norn camp chest ustRven q clean shirt.
He shared all the hardships Of the private
soldier, sleeping in the front and in the
open air, and eating hard tack and salt
pork. He wore no sword, had on low
crowned citizens hat, and the only thing
about him to mark him as a military man,
was his two stars on his undress military
coat On the battle- field he was omnipres-
ent, riding everywhere, generally alone
into the very thickest of Che fight, inspir-
ing the troops by his imperturbabls cool
ness snd bravery.

There was about SO, 100000 feet of logs
cut and got into the streams emptying
into the Saginaw river, last winter,
which viii be sawed in the mills along
the river this summer. The Saginaw Re-
publican says that two-thirds Of all the
lumber to be cut from these logs is already
sold, though saving has only just com
msneed. So great is the demand for lum-
Der at the present time, that for the grades
which two years ago brought only, $3.50,
S., 81, and Sl1 per thousand, s., SO, SIS,
and $25 can now be obtained. These
prices are based on actual sales suppos-
ing the average price Of all qualities to be
$l4 per thousand, then the lumber TO be
sawed in the Saginaw Valley this year
will bring Sl,l2O,0OO The Midland City
Sentinel says that great deal Of lumber
ing has been done on the TittabaWasse
river and branches, during the past win
ter. The Saginaw booms are nearly full,
besides 8 jam at the lower bridge Of two or
three miles. The water has kept up well,
and Afforded good facilities for log-run-
ming.

FROM LAKE SUPERIoR.-The steamer
Iron City, Captain J. E. Turner, arrived at
3 o'clock P. n. yesterday. She left Ont ma
gon Sunday, May 10th, at noon; Eagle Riv-
er at o'clock A. N. Monday, and Marquette
at o'clock P. N. same day. The schooner
Yorktown and another vessel were at Mar
quette. Net the steamer Planet near Grand

of White Fish Point, bound up two in tho

The Iron City brought down 200 tons of
copper from the Cliff and National Mines
consigned to Hussey & Mcbride, and 100
gross tons Of pig iron from Marquette, con-
signed to J. A. Redington.
The weather on Lake Superior was warm
and quite pleasant, scarcely any rain having
fallen there since the first of April. The
water is still quite low, nearly eighteen inch
es below the usual stage in the spring. A
rise is expected, however, in June. The
steamer Cleveland is still sunk by the pier
at Eagle Harbor. A steam pump has been
sent up, and doubtless she will soon be aaoat
again.

On Saturday afternoon, person carry
ing on business as an engraver at Shef
field, and one of his workmeu, were sp-
pretended on a charge Of forging Ameri-
can Government notes, probably such as
are known to our readers by the now ia
miliar term "greenbacks.1 Several
months ago information was communica-
ted anonymously, to the police and the
American Minister, that an engraver in
this town was doing brisk trade in the
manufacture of American notes. In a
short time afterward, Sergeant Spital, a
London detective, came down to Sheffield,
and has for several months been prosecuting
inquiries in conjunction with the Federal
Vice Consul here and the Sheffield police.
We hear that their inquiries satisfied them
that large numbers of notes, varying in
value from s. to $40, have been forged in
Shetheld and sent 70 New TOrK, Wnere
they got into circulation, to the great in
jury of the Government and the public

A DimouIty solved.

DAAlDAlt-g 6QANGua
We have never yet says the Chicago
Tribune, heard any Copperheed explain
what bis party wants. He and his friends
say with enc voice that they are not dis
uniOnists; yetdisunionists are everywhere
their friends. They are for the war, but
oppose all practicable methods Of carrying
it on. They are against the rebels; but
all the while plead the rebel cause. They
are for the Government; but never fail to
abuse and condemn whatever the Govern
ment dees. They are for the triumph of
the Union troops; but always rejsice when
the rebels win. They have horror of
blood; but always want to cut some war
mans throat They are for Northern uni
ty; but they make union impossible.
They are for the Constitution; but are
nevertheless willing that it should be de-
stroyed.
These are contradictions that the people
cannot have overlooked. But, save The
poor, deluded ones wEo believe that the
Journallsue professions tthese maiignants
are sincere, and that the honor and the
happiness Of the country and the perpetu-
ity of our institutions are the objects for
which they really labor, the recOnoililton
Of these claims with their notorious acts, is
easy. The Union for which the Copper
heads toll is the Union of all the slave |
holding aristOcracy against the progressive |
Democracy and Christianity of the North.
Their Constitution is the Montgomery Con-
stitution; and their Government is the
JEFF. Davis Government These are facts
by which all the discrepancies between
prseept and practice are explained; and
until the Gopperheads themselves can fur
nish others, they must stand

The Nv York Tribuns sars:

Notwithstanding this enormous increase,
the earnings Of the Fort Wayne are yet in
their infancy. The net results of April are
much larger in proportion than any other
month, partly owing TO the stocking the re-
ceiPts with the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Railroad, which prevents competition, and Of
course works equally benehcialIy to the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh Company. The
earnings Of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Road for April are reported to be $40, 900.
They receive 26 per cent. Of the Fort Wayne
earnings, which, for April, amounted to
Sll6,O46- On these figures the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh Company will earn 10 per cent.

The Minnesota Pioneer says the rolls Of
the hostile Sioux show that they have
about 5000 warriors, who have been at

turther depredations as soon as the season
would permit them to move. In the

Governor Seymour, Of New York, has
vetoed the Broadway Railroad bill, for the
following reasons 1st It is unconstitu-
tional in permitting the use Of the streets
and avenues on which it runs without the
consent Of the city Government, and with
out providing any compensation for such
use. ID The owners Of the stages and
omnibuses, he thinks, should be protected
in their long-enjoyed rights Sd, The
present Legislature viii, in all probabili-
tyI if successful, lead to similar and still
more objectionable acts.

EAST CLEVELAND STREET RAILROADS.
Hewett & Co.'s interest in the above railroad
"a controlling interest) has recently been
purchased by Charles Wasson, DR.. Everett
and Morrill, Bowers. These gentlemen
propose to complete the road, from the Pitts
burgh Depot on Euclid street to East Cleve-
land, during the present summer. The East
Cleveland Plank Road Company imposed
conditions upon them for the use Of the road,
which they deemed exacting and unjust
The best terms that the Plank Road Compa-
ny would make we're that the Railroad Com
pany should pay toll at the gates, the same
as four wheeled vehicles do. The railroad
would interfere butlittle with the plank road,
the track being laid distance of eight feet
from the planks. Street railroads increase
the population of streets upon which they are
laid, and thus the plank rOrd would be bene-
fitted.
A jury, appointed by the Probate Court
to decide upon what terms should be agreed
upon between the Plank Railroad Company
and the Street Railroad Company, met this
forenoon in No. Courtroom, and heard ar
guments in the case. They afterwards went
over the road in carriage. Their decision
is not yet made known. If they impose too
great exactions upon tho Street Railroad
Company the road to East Cleveland will not
be built.

STRIKE.-Of the strike among the Ia
borers at Buffalo, alluded to by US yester-
day morning, the Express speaks as follows
" Yesterday morning an extensive strike
took place among the laborers employed at
the New York Central, Erie Railway, and
State Freight Depots, the Western Transpor-
tation Company's Warehouses, and at the
Merchants and Great Western Dispatch
Warehouses. The strikers, who numbers
between 500 and GOO, had been receiving 81.
% per day and demanded 81 so, five shillings
for night work and % for Sundays, which
was refused, Perfect order was preserved
among the men yesterday, and they are de-
termined to resort to no violent measures to
obtain what they consider fair compensa-
tion for their labor. Il is TO be hoped that
satisfactory arrangements will be made SO
that the expensive delay consequent upon
the strike may be terminated"
