THE LATE STORM ON THE
LA KES.
Fifty Liv es Lost and y million of
Properly Destroyed

Fifty Llv es Lost and y million of
Property Destroyed
from the Detroit Free Press Nov. 49,
The arrival down of the large feet due from
Lake Michigan, has brought more definitely in
teligence of the damage sustained among the
shipping by the late gale; yet. with all the in<
formation at hand, one half OF The numerous
disasters which have occurred are not yet heard
of. and some time will elapse. doubtless, ere the
full results may come to hand. Sunday and
Monday number of those more or less crip>
pied arrived, and are now here undergoing the
necessary repairs. The damage sustained is
chiefly IN the loss of CANVASS, which at this
particular time constitutes n very important
Item IN vessels outfit. To say that one mill
lioniof dollars will not cover the total amount
OF the Loss OF property may be considered as far
below the actual estimate The loss of life will
probably not exceed fifty. OF the names of yes,
sells ashore at Lake Huron we have only the
names OF the Amelia and A. j. Rich. The re-
qulslte reliet for both OF these, has been dis.
patched from the city, and has, doubtless reach
ed them ere this. The brig Lucy j Clark, up
ward bound, with cargo of wood for Chicago
was driven back with the loss Of more or less
canvass. and is now here. The George Sher-
man, bound down. lost more or less canvass
and sustained some damage on the flats The
schooner Gransda is minus her mainsail and
fore~stay-sail. The schooner Mary Morton lost
both anchors Ind the most of her canvass used
up. Inc schooner Racine lost a portion of her
sails, but nas proceeded on her voyage The
schooner Quicks;ep was saved from total LOGS
by miracle having driftes at The mercy of tn
elements tor many hours, with all her canvass
and both anchors gone. The brig Mariner and
the schooneTs Jennie and Annie are also il
cluded among the rest, with numerous others
which have not reported the particulars of their
losses. The schooner j. L. Quinby came n ear
beng wrecked at Pigeon Bay Lake Erie. A
portion OF her cargo was swept overheard her
sails damaged, with the loss OF hawsers and
lines. and the vessel pretty effecualy used up.
The schooner Spray. on Lake Huron, narrowly
escaped going ashore portion of her cargo be-
ing lost. Many of the feet which were slightly
rippled have proceeded onttheir voy age, Will
there will be detained for several days. a

The State Governments in 1865.

In our Joy over the reelection of ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN as President, and the election
of Congress in which three -fourths of the
members of each House will vote for the
abolition OF Slavery, we are apt to under
estimate our gains in the State Governments
A cursory glance at them will show that
they are no less sweeping and no less impor-
tant.
We have majority in each House of eve-
ry Legislature of the original free States,
with the sole exception of the Senate Of
w-Jersey. The Senate of Indiana had
but the recent disclosures of the REASONABLE
plots of the ''Sons ofLiberty," to which we
are indebted for gain of SO many thous-
and votes at the late elections, have also
carried over to our side one of the Senators,
thus giving us majority We control,
besides, both Houses of Legislatures of Ne
vada, West Virginia, Missouri, Louisiana,
and Arkansas. In Maryland the Democrats
have majority of lone in the Senate, but
we have large majority on joint ballot
This gives lis control of Twenty-Five Legisla-
lures. 81. 51 sI 63
If Congress should vote for an amend
ment to the Constitution abolishing Slavery
such amendment must be ratified by three
fourths of the State Legislatures or of State
Conventions, as Congress may propose In
case the Reb'n, by the time of the adoption
of this amendment, should not yet be COM
pletely subdued Congress will have to de-
eide whether three-fourths majority of all
the States or only Of the States actually in
the Union shall be required. Even in the
former case, it will be seen from our above
statement, we are now very near having the
required three-fourths majority. The polit-
ical complexion of the next Legislature to be
chosen in Tennessee will, without doubt be
anti Slavery, andethe same will be the case
with the Legislatures of the new States,
Colorado and Nebraska. These three States
will give us 20 Legislatures out of SO, the
number requisite. 5
We need no longer fear any factious oppo-
sition from the State Executives The
Governors of all the twenty-nine States
which we just enumerated arc loyal and an
ti-Slavery men, with the exception only Of
the Governors of New-Jersey and Kentucky

no longer a Governor Seymour to whom
they can look for the inauguration of civil

Jeff, Davis Last Message Criticisms Of
the Rebel Press.

The regent annual message of JEFF. DAVIS
calls out sharp criticisms from the Richmond
newspapers,
In his message the rebel chief says he can
not see the propriety or necessity of arming
slaves while there are yet many white men
out of the RANKS But he recommends the
arming and drilling of such negroes as are
already employed in the quartermaster and
commissary departments, &c, and filling
their places by draft Of negroes from the
planters. He would give the reward of man
omission, he adds, TO such slaves only as
shall have served efficiently with the armies
in the field
The Richmond Wing finds nonstrous
heresy in these expressions. 1t says:
f'Iwo propositions are plainly deducible
from the Presidents message which we can
not for moment believe be would deli ber-
ately give his sanction to; and the first is
that the condition of freedom is so much
better for the slave than that of servitude
and that it may be bestowed upon him as a
reward or boon the second chat the Confed-
crate Government had right to acquire pos
session of slaves by purchase or impressment
with compensation and then emancipate
them without the consent of the states, or 10
case of impressment without the consent of
the masters. The first proposition ia re-
duction of the opinion held by the whole
south and by large portion of mankind of
other countries, that servitude is divinely
appointed condition for the highest good Of
the slave. and that condition in which the
negro race especially may attain the highest
intellectual advancement Of which they are
capable, and may enjoy most largely ofsuch
comforts and blessings of life as are suited
to them. Of this we have no doubt and
we hold it to be an act of cruelty to deprive
the slave OF the care and guardianship Of a
master. If the slave must fight he should
fight for the blessings he enjoys as Slage,
and not for tie miseries that ac0uLd attend
him freed. .aHa iasfre....
The second proposition is still. more start
ling. 1t is a concession that the confederate
government has the power and right to ex-
terminate slavery by the simple process of
impressing or purchasing all the slaves and
then emancipate them. Lincoln has ne0er
gone so far as this, for in his plan for COM
pensating emancipation he expressly re-
ferred the question to the states. acknowl-
edging that they only could determine it.
1t is unnecessary to dwell on this subject, we
are perfectly sure that the president could
never have designed to give his assent to so
monstrous a proposition as this. The multi
plicity and magnitude the subjects that
claim his attention will suggest sufficient
excuse for inadvertence of expression and
immaturity of views, from which theories,
so out of place in communication from the
president of these slaveholding states, are
deducible, touching the employment of
slaves in the public defense.

Mcclellan 145. Gen. Paine's majority on
soldiers vote as far as received, 1926 F;
which gives him majority on total vote
of sol. The soldiers have settled the
account of John E. Thomas (dem) for State
Senator in the first district
Bentley (Union) was one ahead on the
returns yesterday. The fifth cavalry adds 80
majority to this. The 18th, Irish, as far as
heard from gives Thomas 2 majority.
Bentley gets one vote in the 9th infantry
and one in the 18th battery to offset the
vote of the 18th. This makes the Union
majority in Senate one better.
1t has been very cold here, yesterday and
to-day, the thermometer ranging from zero
to four degrees below.

The Soldiers Vote.

MADlSON, NOV. 10.
Returns of soldiers votes continue to
come in showing that the soldiers are fight
ing the enemy in the rear with ballots
equally as we'll as the enemy in front
with bullets.
The Journal has the following reports /:
Sth regiment, Lincoln, 227, Mcclellan, 81 !:
Goth, Lincoln, 800, Mcclellan 7; S1st,
Lincoln, 422, Mcclellan II ; Sd battery,
Lincoln, 50, Mcclellan O; 9th battery,
Lincoln, 76, Mcclellan, O..
Sufficient additional returns of soldiers
votes are received to wipe out the home ma
jority in the First Congressional District
against General Paine and give him about
80 clea rmajority with the 2Sth regiment and
others still to be heard from, which will
make it 356 or more. The 22d regiment,
complete, gives Paine 207 and Cary q
The Oath, all but Co. l, gives Paine 101 and
Cary As. The 26th Germany gives Paine
A and Cary 43. Five Companies of the 9th
German give Paine 81 and Cary /. Four
companies of the 35th give Paine Is and
Cary 26.

The SLAVERY QUESTION AT THE SOUTH
The rebels of the south, who, it is sometimes
said, seeded for the express purpose of get
ting rid of the abolitionists, and to enjoy the
beauties of their peculiar institution I'M
questioned and uninterrupted, it seems, are
still troubled with the question. A sharp dis
cusssion is now going on in the rebel congress
and through the rebel press, in regard to
the question Of arming the slaves, and
emancipating them as reward for fighting
the battles of the Confederacy. President
Davis, in his message to the rebel Congress
opens the question, which is eagerly taken
up by congressman and editors. and the dis
cussion is az lively and as acrid as it ever
was between southern fire eaters and nor
thern abolitionists. So it seems the aboli-
tionists were not altogether to blame.
Northern apologists and defenders Of the
institution will have to own that Slavery
itself is the 'Pandoras Box" out Of which
has come-full- fedged-th evils they have
deprecated. RIO -
We publish in another column items from
southern papers giving us glimpses of this
discussion. Should the war continue much
longer, the rebels themselves will be the
mostanx ious to the proclamation of eman-
cipation in force, that the discussion and it's
cause may be forever got rid of together
The rebels will find if slavery is once dis
posed Of, 'for good and ALL" there will be
no reason for longer continuing the struggle.
The idea that they are fighting for their
rights, liberty and independence, will APP
pear as it really is-the most silly nonsense,
if the question can once come to be viewed
without the false halo that slavery throws
around it.

against the nation and against God, will be
likely to receive but little lenity from Mr.. Lin

unwilingly. or even willingly, under mistaken
apprehensioDs to all except those who have
formed, plotted, arranged, and carried out this
Rebelion-to ell except these criminals, sup>
pose a liberal spirit may be shown. But upon
the essential conditions there can be no change.
And those conditions are the Union and free

The Election Of Gen. Paine Certain.

There is no local incident of the late cam
paign that gives us, as well as the union
men of this ty generally, more unal
loyed pleasure than the election of the Pa
triot. Soldier, and Gentleman, Gen. HALBERT
b. PAINE, to represent us in the next Con-
gross. Aside from what we know of the
General, as soldier in the field, who pre-
ferred to be placed under guard rather than
to yield to the demands of the slave owners
Of the South, for the surrender of a faithful
an d efficient guide, and who when the time
came, proved himself as brad gal We anlaat,
as he was humane and generous, his appear
ance and speeches before our people both in
country and city, made a most favorable i'm
preston. 1t will be remembered that Gen.
Paine, in the charge on the Rebel works. at
Port Hudson, fell, wounded at the head and
in advance of his regiment, where he lay
most of the day, unable to help himself al
though several attempts were made to bring
him off. Ilas fs
The contrast between being represented
in Congress by such a man, and misrepre-
sented by Mr.. James S. Brown, who silent
ly and sullenly has voted with the copper
heads throughout his term, without the
spirit to say word in defense of his course,
will be peculiarly gratifying. We have no
personal quarrel with Mr.. Carey. AS cit
izen and an able and talented member of
his profession, we have respected him, but
politically we occupy antipodal positions
We can only hope that time will open his
eyes to the true course for all loyal men in
such crisis of our common country.
| From the latest returns, it seems that
Gen. Paine is elected by about 500 MAORI
ty. That will do.bs.We may now safely
give three cheers for
LINCOLN, PAINE & THE UNION.

GREAT DEMOCRATIC GAINs.-Our demo-
cratic friends continue to console themselves
on what they are pleased to call democratic
gains, in all the States. Those gains COM
menced in Vermont and Maine, and contin-
ued toincrease through Ohio, Indiana and
Pennsylvania, until they counted them by
hundreds of thousands, in the November
elections. Yet in the face of all these gains
President Lincoln has larger popular ma
jority than has been given to any President
in almost thirty years.
