Ii will be seen that the number issued ID
Der issued in any preceding year, and that
the number issued for the seven months
past Of the present year almost equal the
whole number issued last year. This Is an
interesting fact. as il indicates that those
who have purchased our Government lands
have been doing well on them, being able
to pay for them in full. II also shows the
rapidity Of the sales OF Michigan lands for
the past two years Our lands are growing
rapidly in the estimation Of actual settlers,
and are also eagerly seized upon 10y eastern
capitalists for speculation on account of
their rich resources. the development OF
which is continually going on by private
enterprise, Notwithstanding the lack on the
part of the State in this respect. What
Michigan wants is actual settlers. and there

We point, in refutatiOn Of this falsehOod, TO
our noble sons and heroes on the battle
fields Of the Union. No State has furnish
ed better troops, those that could endure
more hardships, or in whose veins flows
purer or more heroic blood than the boys OF
Michigan. This falsehoOd has injured us
in days gone by, hut we have outlived it.

and in everything that goes to make a
happy, prosperous and tlourishmg people.
The stone that the builders rejected bids
fair yet to become the headstOne OF the

A Great Democrat.

The Chairman Of the National Democrat
ic Committee. who called the Chicago Con-
vantion To orler and made speech on the

in financial circles, and receives from the
Rothschilds, the great European bankers,
an annual salary of $50, 900 for attending
to their business in New York The social
habits and interests of this great Democrat
may be surmised from the description of
his establishment As il appears at Newport.

Nomination for Representative.

1t will be seen by the proceedings OF the
First District Representative Convention,
held last Saturday, that LUCIES REED, of
Mason, was nominated as the Republican
candidate for the Legislature. Mr. Reed is
well known in this county as a substantial
and most worthy citizen, who would fill the
place for which he is designated creditably
to himself and with advantage to the Dis
trict Two years since, he served accept
ably term as County Clerk. We know Of
no obstacle which would necessarily pre-
vent his election: and we shall expect TO
see it. if all the Republicans OF the District
Corporation.

Lastly, he may reply in words and SEN
fences full Of large generalties, so put to-
gether that they can be interpreted by the
peace party to mean just what they wish to
have said; and at the same time they may
intimate that under circumstances which
may happen, a different course viii be pur-
sued. thus leaving each faction of the party
10 believe that he is with them. while in re-
alty he is with neither. but holds himself
subject to be drifted along by current
events, or to have line OF policy imposed
upon him by a mind stronger and more pos
tive than his own.

SECOND L. s. SHARP SHOOTERs.-Our
correspondent writes, Aug. 2sth: THE
lst and % divisions of our Corps had a
severe fight on our left the other day, but
we were fortunate enough to keep out OF
that. We are having a very quiet time, as
there is no firing except artillery firing oc-
casionally. Our pickets and the rebels are
very intimate. and are trading together
continually. Our boys take bag of coffee
and stick it up on a stake about half way
between the two lines. The rebels come for
the coffee and leave tobacco in its place,
and in the same way they trade papers,
bread, SC This morning there was little
boy. well dressed, came quite over TO our
pickets with bundle of things, and our
boys having given him several things in ex-
change, he went back rejoicing. There are
one or more rebels come into our lines
every night. They say they are tired of
fighting 80 long.
You at home cannot desire peace any
more than we, but We are not enough de-
sirous of il 10 give the South their indie
pendence. We are anxious TO get home,
but we will fight to the last before We will
DO that.

re- The Democracy OF this Congress
iOnal District, have put in nomination for
Representative TO Congress, David Johnson,
a well known lawyer of Jackson. This, per-
haps, is as good a move as they could have
made, as Mr.. Johnson has socially and per-
sOnauy many friends But he now comes
up as public man, proposing to legislate
for this District in Congress; and We are
assured that he holds and freely avOws in
conversation, opinions of the extreme Val
landigham stripe; and if elected, aud he
should follow in the tracks of the great
Martyr, as he would be bound to do if con-
consistent with himself he would not vote
dollar or a man for the war, bnt would
have our armies Immediately recalled. But
as he is announced to speak soon in this
place, we will forbear all remarks until he
tells us himself in what way he expects the
rebellion to be suppressed without force
and why he is for rendering Slavery perpet-
ual
