HENRY WARD BEECHER IN BRITAIN
judging from his antecedents, we suppose no
American ever visited Britain more deeply
embued with prejudice against it, than Henry
Ward Beecher; and, judging from his speech
es delivered there, no one had his prejudices
more rapidly and completely removed. His
previously found fault with Britain, is not so
much altered as his mood of viewing them !;
which is now that Of a friend, instead of an
enemy Whatever may be Mr.. Bcecher's
faults, he has unquestionably noble nature.
Frank, outspoken, vigorous, powerful in intel
lect, and eminently eloquent in speech, he
cannot fail TO exert a powerful influence over
his fellow-men; aud it is cause for thankful
ness, when that influence is exertcd on the
side Of peace and goodwill. Il Montreal Wit

commission.
General McClellans official report Of
the seven days battle on the Peninsula,
and his falling back to Berkeley, although
dated the 18th Of July last is to-day for
the first time published He says to the
calm judgement Of history and the fu-
ture he leaves the task Of pronounoing
upon the movement, confident that the
verdict will be that no such difficult one
was ever more successfully executed.
No army ever fought more -desper-
stely, heroically and successfully against
such great Odds, and that no men, Of any
race, ever displayed greater discipline,
endurance, patience and eheerfulness, IN
der such hsrdships.
Rhode Island, Maine and Iowa are the

to the General Land Office their acceptance

The officers tried to stop the work Of des-

LIGHTs At SASDUsKY.-The lights at Marble Head
and Cedar Point, at the entrance Of Sandusky Bay,
have been ret for the season. The former serves as
an Introductory for vessels passing through south
passage, between kelly's Island and the Head, the
latter that OF the passage through the channel and
over the bar leading 10 Sandusky city.
The credit is due to the schooner Island City for
being the first vessel from Detroit through the River
81 Clair this season, which she accomplished en-
Monday last.
Lake fIeights from Chicago TO Buffalo, on Tuesday

SELLING A MAN WHO WANTED TO BE Ex-
ENPTED.-We have learned the particulars
of an amusing hoax that was played off last
Saturday night upon German, employed in
MOrril & Bowers Car Factory, by his fell
low-workmen. It was known by his fellows
that he was very nervous on the subject of
the conseriptiOn, and accordingly plan was
arranged to meke him the victim of a sell
They pretended that secret society exists
in the city, branches of which are scattered
all ever the country, known as the s' Buckeye
Lodge" The principal advantage in be-
longing to the lodge, they assured him, was
that its members were exempted from the
draft. The bait took, and the Dutehman
besought that he might be initiated at once.
On Saturday night, the ceremony, which
was manufactured for the occasion by some
wag about the establishment, was performed,
by which the Dutehman was to become free
and accepted member of the Buckeye
Lodge" He was blindfolded, and num-
Der of questions put to him touching the
war, the Emancipation Proclamation, confs-
cation, &C., &c. After that belt was fas-
tened under his arms, and the candidate
drawn up by means of rope and pully. A
hOgsehad had been prepared, nearly full of
water, and into this the candidate for exemp-
tion from draft was sOueed up to his chin.
Again be would be drawn up, limp and drip
ping, to be again dropped into the hogshead,
on the run. He bore it all patiently, sup
posing it to be a part of the initiation. Af-
ter being drawn up for /" severalth =" time,
the rope slipped of the pully, and he could
neither be elevated nor lowered, but hung
spread in mid air like huge spider. One
by one the workmen began to leave, Sinking
the responsibility of getting the Dutchman
down. He is powerful fellow, and they
feared the results of his passion when he
found that he was sold. Finally there was
no one left but one man, and he, making
the rope fast to a bench leg, ran away also,
leaving the Dutchman in his glory. Some
one came to his relief at length and cut him
down. His rage was great when the sell
dawned upon him, and he swOre vengeance.
He thinks of prosecuting his tormentors,
cut he had better call it a good joke, stand
the {" lager" and say no more about it.

CONDITION OF THE Ice AT BUFFALO,
The Buffalo Express of yesterday morning
contains the following:
{" There was a strong wind up the Mag
ara river, Wednesday night and Thursday
forenoon, which has scattered the ice, or
driven much of it south into the bay. The
propellers Concord, Irontes and Toledo, and
and one sail vessel, are trying to make a
narrow passage through the narrow belt of
ice, and will, probably, succeed. Several
vessels are bending their sails to be in readi-
ness to move as soon as the bay is cleared of
obstruction by ice. The weather is again
mild, and the ice is rapidly passing away"
