The recent disasters on Lake Huron
have awakened attention to the neces' 'ity
Of constructing passenger vessels with
Eater tight compartments. Already the
keel Of new steamer has been laid at
Marine City, the hull of which is to be
so constructed She is being built By
E. Ward, Of Detroit Such craft have
been proved and found adequate as
against collisions.
The census of Chicago just completed,
nonuIatioa of 177, 7,95 8, and the
--.snks rflat not q single individ-
ual has been overlooked by the enumer-
asors. This Is not quite the 10000
claimed by certain enthusiasts of that
city, bat the trne figures are sufficiently
large for q temperate amount of city
pride. In 1881 Chicago contained sixty
people. The city is in three divisions
with populations as follows: South di-
vision, Sc, 100; west division, &c. 3O8 ami
north division, A .s8s; total as above,
III $50.
On the evening of the day on which
Judge Wright and four of his sons were
killed by Col. Babcock's men in Phelps
county, Missouri, the Copperheads held
an Indignation meeting and heroicslly
offered to volunteer 20 hunt down the
! Colonel and bring himyt TO Justice. Bot
before they had time to commence the
hunt, the Colonel ard his command came
to the town (Rolls) ready TO give an ae-
count Of themselves, The copperhead
meeting dispersed without adopting any
expressions of their sentiments. On
the appearance of Colonel Babcock the
citizens rallied, and after bearing
statement from him resolved among
other things: "That we have fall con6-
dence in the military experience Of Col
Ba5cock, aad are fully satisfied, from
the statements submitted by him to this
meeting, that the acts Of killing charged
against, him and his men have been
clearly established by him as acts of
military necessity, and not those of muir
der" The loyal people of Missouri
have resolved to hunt all the bushwhack-
ers as we'll as all who harbor them, and
bring them to Justice. The persons
killed were of this class, and they we're
killed IN attempting to escape their cap
tors. The militia are executing the
popular mandate to clear the country of
bushwhsckers. b5 .r-

Fight Is ont on that Line.

A planter of the Parish Of IbervilIe,
La, has addressed the following com
munication to the Freedmen's Aid AS
socistion Of New Orleans:
GENTLEMEN: / am planter Of twelve
years experience; this year am work,
ing twelve hands, six men and six wo-
men; my lahorers are to get one-fourth
of the net proceeds of-the crops. They
have full understanding OF the interes
in the said crops. Our contract was
made on the first of February last, and
the result so far is 3 complete ouccess;
we have to-day IS arPents of cotton; Is
arpents of sugar canes; rs arpeuts oi
corn, all in perfect condition. dou'l
mention the vegetable crops.
Under the old system ten arpents to
the hand was considered q fair result
and more than three-fourths of the
plantations failed to come to that stand
ard
My lsborers are all good people, be-
having well, having good common sense;
they are honest and true to their family
Besides the crop in common, they have
raised for their private account small
crops of corn and vegetables; they have
poultry, ETC., of their own.
Not single difficulty has occurred
among them since they have agreed tC
work on my farm.
Thus is the whole labor problem
solved Deal justly, give the freedmen
some interest in their work, and there
will be no trouble. In this case fft,
per cent more of ground is cultivated
than the same number of hands cult
waited under the old system, and tn
probability is that the planter viii maxi
that per cent more. tits probably bes

thus Eight it out on that hna" It /
nothing but sheer ugliness on their par
that causes all the trouble and inhict

We copy, this morning, an article from
the Missouri Democrat re.ative to an
important church paper now in circula-
ton in Missouri The New Constitution
Of that State requires an oath Of loyalty
from preachers and priests, as well as
from all other classes Of society. This
oath seems to be distasteful to Peter
Richard, Catholic Archbishop of ST.
Loais, and be has issued circular to
the various priests under his iurisdic-
ton, which the Democrat quotes and
comments on. We think the Arch bishop
has made a grave political bunder.
His church is noted for its sagacity and
shrewdness in controlling political
events and politicians to its own advan-
tage, but in this instance the zeal of its
servant has outrun bis discretion. The
record of the church for. patriotism dur
ing the recent rebellion, notwithstAnd-
ing she has been represented by some
gallant and successful officers in the
army, has not been so far above sus-
picion as to allow of the circulation and
publication of many such letters as that
of the st. Louis Archbishop, without call
ing an unpleasant attention to her ante
cedents and intentions The Catholic
Church is never so successful as when
she is permitted to operate unnoticed
and her operations are freed from dis
cussion; and we are satisfied the Arch
bishop of St Louis, in thus Haunting
the rebellious proclivities of the priest
hood in his State in the faces of the
loyal people, will End out that he has
made a mistake, from the bad effects of
which it will require all the Jfnesse aud
influence of bis church to relieve her
self
We do not infer from the Archbishop 8
language, in the closing sentences of his
letter, that he designs counseling open
resistance to the laws. That would
prove too dangerous an experiment; it
would preoipitate struggle before bis
church is prepared for it. We rather
suspect that his counsel and assistance
will assume the form of an indulgence by
which the priests will be permitted to
take the oath required and yet have
their conscienees relieved of all hneasi.
ness arising from its violation. We
may be wrong, but we think our sur
mise is nearer correct than that of the
Democrat

Preparing for the Approaching
Battle-Sherman and SchOfieId.s

New YORK, March 1.-The Times wash
ington special says: In anticipation Of a
battle between Sherman and Johnston, of
which we may receive intelligence at any
moment, the War Department has des-
patched a well appointed corps of surgeons
and nurses to Wilmington, from which
point they will be sent forward to Sher-
mans army. They are amply provided
with hospital stores and everything neces-
sary to the care of the sick and wounded.
The rumor that Schofield has formed a
junction with Sherman is regarded here as
altogether probable, but the Government
is confident of Gen. Sherman's ability, even
without Schofield's forces, to take care of
himself and manage any force the rebels are
able to send against him. Still, as Lee will
undoubtedly exhaust every available re-
source in the effort to check Sherman's au-
dacious advance, the speedy junction of the
two armies is desirable as making assur-
ance dOubly sure. .-
Deserters from the rebel army come in
in steady stream. Many of them, before
they leave our lines, are separately ex-
amined, and their testimony for the past
few days is to the effect that A. P. Hills
corps has left for the South, to aid in re-
sisting Sherman. If this should prove true,
it is deemed absolutely necessary that Lee
must shorten his lines, which necessity is
the only ground for the rumored evacua-
tion of Petersburg.

PORTLAND, Me-, Feb. 2S.-The Nora
Wan, from Liverpool the afternoon of the
10Th, and Londonderry the 18th, arrived at
Portland this evening. The Hibernian,
from Portland, arrived at Londonderry the
evening of the 10Th. sls-ets'i
LIVERPOOL, Feb. 16.-advices from Man
chester report flat market, with declining
tendency. Breadstuff market quiet and
steady.
News that Peace Conference was being
held caused great excitement and depress-
ion of funds, but later advices of its failure
caused a reaction, and the decli ne was al
most recovered. American securities i'm
proved under the Canada's advices, but
were easier upon the reception of the Hi
bernian's news.
The rebel steamer Stonewall, alias Olinde,
was at Ferrol, and was said to be leaking.
She is heavily armed. carrying guns, none
less than 200-pounders, and is iron-plated
inches thick. A number of the Alabama's
men are among her crew, .,.
Great depression prevailed in commercial
and financial circles on the 10Th, under
news Of peace negotiations. The London
Stock Exchange was materially affected.
Consols declined about II per cent, owing
to fears that sudden peace in America
would cause a serious arrangement
in financial affairs, by the fall
in cotton, and : also on. account
ofpolitical contingencies The prospects of
peace were eagerly debated, and the likely
bond of peace obtained greater credence
than at any other previous time. On the
10th the announcement that the Peace Con-
ference was failure, received blythe Hi
bernian was published in the morning pa
pefs, and of course caused areaction. The
Daily Newsof the 10th is hopeful that good
will still resultsfrom the Peace Conference.
