WOOL IN MICHIGAN.

The Adrian Watch Tower OF the lSth.says:
Wool has been brought into market in
large quantities since the commencement OF
July, and prices have advanced few cents;
one lot brought 623,, the highest reached,
but this was considered by all as above the
market, though il was exceedingly nice
WOOL Sixty cents is considered the max
imum for best feeces Wo have been
somewhat surprised by the fact that the
feeces Of Vermont sheep, that have
been the pride of some wool growing
ers in this country, do not find as many
purchasers as others, for the very reason
which, above all others, has been their
psrticular boast, that is, the abundance OF
gum" in them. We have heard dealers
remark that the introduction OF "Rummy''
sheep into this county from Vermont had
done immense damage to wool interests here.
Seven or eight loads Of this kind OF wool IN
the streets yesterday failed to get even an
offer, and the owners returned home with 1t.
Manufacturers from the East now IN this
market say they can buy that kind OF WOO
nearer home, but they don't want It, and
therefore they came here TO get clean teece'
equally fine. The gum" is no more certain
indication Of finer wool than that without
gum" it only serves TO increase the weigh
of the fleece without serving any other goet
purpose. .... ,a
The Howell Democrat of the 18th says
Wool is now brought into Howell quit,
freely. Messrs, Mcpherson & Sons pur
chased last week about Is, 900 pounds, ant
Jewott & Cross,han about $4,000, at al
average price OF 53l cents per ID: Yes

morning the great iron clad ocean irigate
Dunderberg was successfully launched. -
Not less than 1000 people witnes sod the
spectacle. No accident whatever occurred.
Ii was found when she was in the water
she drew only Is feet aft, l3 feet amidship,
and 0 feet inches iorward a draft much
less than was anticipated by many, though
about the shape Mr.. Webb calculated on. -
The Dundenberg, or laundering Mountain,
is the greatest sea,going irigate in the
world, aud within six mouths she will be
ready TO make fifteen knots per hour. and
bid defiance to the world in arms. Her
armament will consist Of four l5inch Rod
man and from twelve to fourteen ll-inoh
Dahlgren guns. The Dunderberg 10 the
embodiment Of the ideal OF the famous ship,

novel; She will be afoating forti6cstion

Kentucky and Tennessee.

The CONSERVATIVES" as the rel ell party
are nloased to call themselves, in Kentucky
and Tennessee, have been calculating upon
an easy time in the August elections. In
Kentucky the Conservative candidates ar
gued that the expatriatien act-a law that
excludes men who have served in the rebel
army or aided the rebellion from the ballot
box, was unconstitutional, aud having thus
passed upon the law, on the stump, their
followers were prepared to disregard it.
But Gov. Bramblette. has issued proclama.
ton, declaring the exputrlatlon law IN full
force; directing that it bc executed, and or
dering that all officers who ncgl, ct to enforce
it, be promptly reported, that they may be
duly punished. He also directs that wherev-
err necessary the military be called upon to
assist the civil authorities in enforcing the
laws. 1t thus seems likely that rebels will
fnd the road to the polls hard one to
travel and Of course every rebel excluded
will be IA Conservative vote lost.
In Tennessee the Conservative candidates
talked boldly at the outset. They showed
their hands too soon. The announcement
that they would disregard the laws Of Ten
nessec, and the determination expressed hy
rebels, whose hands are red with blood, to
vote for rebels. walked up the ulhorities. -
| uON. DTUWniOW lSsuSu p''oiama'ion "u"
address, laying down the law, and stating IN
very plain terms, what he would do. This
was hooted at at first; bnt when the Presi
dent backed Governor Brownlow, ordered
the arrest OF E,heridge, and instructed the
military to aid the civil authorities in en-
forcing the laws, the CONSERVATIVE candi
dates concluded not to play their game out
and now they say the laws Of Tennessee, in
cluding the franchise act, will be obeyed. =
But for the presence of Union bayonets i
is evident the rebels would have walked
over the course, and controlled the ballot
box. This proves that the policy Of making
haste slowly, in reconstructlng the rcbe
States, is good one. lfTennessee cannot
; under her civil government, be kept out o
the hands of violent rebels without the ali
OF Union soldiers, what may be expected 0
other Southern States2 ...
Time is making important Developments
therefore time is valuable. The rebels ar
instructing the country. President John
son, no doubt, duly appreciates their serv
ces in this line; and the whele country ar
preciates the services Of Brownlow an
Bramblette, who are upsetting the we'll lai
schemes OF the enemies of the Government

are afraid of the competition of the
poor negro, and are calling upon the
people of Belmont County to protect
them from his dangerous competition.
To this "old issue" they have added
another, new one, not of tariff, or
banks, or internal improvements, or
arbitrary arrests, or free press, or no
coercion, or abolition, or Lincoln's
Tyranny. Not either or all of these
democratic principles would answer
the wants of the "Central Committee"
but 'the repeal of the law imposing
the unjust and mcallcd for Four Dol
lar Militia Tax" is to be the war cry
o. the "GRsAr DEMOCRATIC PARTY in
the coming contest. There are about
fifteen hundred men in Belmont Coun-
ty who refused during the past war to
90 into the service of the Country, or
foim Company of National Guards
or Volunteer Militia, who are taxed by
q law of 1868, "a year to pay the ex-
penses of the Volunteer Militia, incur
red in drilling themselves as soldiers
to defend and protect the State of Ohio
in case of invasion or insurrection.--
The Morgan Invasion" showed the
. necessity of such an organization, and
the forty thousand men furnished to
the General Government in the crisis
of the great Rebellion, from this Ma
tional Guard, by the Governor of Ohio
which Mr. STANTON and Gen. GRANT
, admit saved the Richmond campaign
from disaster; and the salvation of th'
State of Ohio from the organized in
;. surrection planned and purposed b,
the Knights of the Golden Circle, hav
D. been some of the good results tina
have been secured by ''the law impc
sing the unjust and uncalled for Fou
Dollar Militia Tax" 1t is not yer
strange that the Central Committee
should be in favor of the repeal of sue
Y. law. This law was passed during
time of war. The tax levied was il
tended to organize and establish Mi

we may overthrow the one, we may destroy
the other. All the subsequent steps would
be easy; and we naturally find that the ad7
vocates OF Manifest Destiny" and Of Eli
clustering are ardent friends Of the Monroe
doctrine. N'It is clear that..,..Cuba is as
necessary 10 the North American republic"
said James Buchanan and his fellow pirates
at Ostend, 'as any of its present members,
and that il belongs naturally to that great
family Of States of which the Union is the
providential nursery" The Ostend Mani
iesto is the oldest child of the Monroe doc
trine.
When the people of the United States are
convinced that their institutions are endan-
gered by the condition of Mexico, or Cuba,
or Guatemala, or Caracas, or any other
country upon these continents they will
not hesitate to apply every necessary reme-
dy. But we do not believe they are alarm,

we are very sure that, after the experience
of the last four years, this country, will not

Last week we said something about
the efforts of the copperhead Party to
obtain a candidate, n MILITARY oANDr-
DATE, to represent that yariegated in
stitution In the coming campaign, and
the difficulties and disappointments
they were meeting with in their endeav-
ors. THIS week, it will he inferred
from the heading to this article, we
propose looking after another of the
serious wants of the Soihjer iouing

before "arbitrary arrests" and "four
years failure" in 1862 opposition to
the "Abolition War" and in 1861 1.-TWO
hundred thousand Democrats send
greeting" were the principal issues
made. Arbitrary arrests, four years
failure, Abolition war, and opposition
to. coercion, are dead cocks in the pit,
and the defeated, routed, spoils. seeking
Democracy are getting tired waiting
for something to turn up, and the
great Central Committee of this Coun-
ty have gone to work to make an issue.
In the call for convention to be held
at st. Clairsville, on Friday, the llth
day of August, the committee say:
"A cordial invitation is extended to all
who believe this to be white mans gov
ernment and are in favor of maintaining i
Ms such, Who are opposed to negro equal
