ton of the soil, timber, &c.
The soil is generally of a gravelly
nature, somewhat rolling, with occa
sionally fine little brook mcandcr
ing and ripping through the woods
giving relief, to the eye, which be
comes weary Of the monotony of pine
and hemlock timber. However,
do not wish to leave the impression
tha. pine and hemlock is the only
timber here; for we find an occasion
al scope of country we'll covered
with hard timber-such as sugar,
cherry, elm, and many other varieties
of like nature; and though the land
bearing such timber is also sandy, il
is of clay bottom, while the soil of
the pine districts seems equally as
good, the sand is of such depth that
it soon teaches out, and Is worth
nothing after the timber is of, and
the owners thereof generally allow
it to go back to the Government.
The lands are about twenty four
miles above Big Rapids, on the Mus.
kegan River, aud are settled, to some
extent, some sixteen miles above that
village. The village of Big Rapids
owes its existence To the numbering
interest, and is lively place u 1t
boasts of two hotels, which do quite
an extensive business; and though
the bills charged thereat are such us
would convince Buckeye that they
understood that branch of hotel
keeping, at least, still, they will not
appear so eXorbitant when we con
slider the high price paid for all
kinds of subsistence for man and
beast; for instance, hay $40 per ton,
and every thing else in proportion.
There are also number of stores,
which do good business, at this
season of the year, owing to the
throng of lumbermen constantly pass
ing through the place, TO and from
the lakes, which are distant about
100 miles above the village-Holton
Lake coming first.
During the day we busy ourselves
in chopping, saving, making roads,
skidding, and hauling in
provisions; while The evenings are
passed in dancing, singing, and va
rious other ways, calculated to drive
'dull care away"
sabbath is passed in hunting, Wis.

about, sleeping, reading newsless old
scraps OF paper-ior want of some.

Wages range from S25 to S42 per

Copperheads were completely united in

Early this morning Mr.. John Trimble
called up his joint resolution for ratiS-

previous question. The demand was
Sustained, the Copperheads having no
opportunity to bolt, and joint resolution
was adopted Ia to 6. No quorum
In the House during the night four
Copperheads, Jonse of Green, Martin of
Jackson, Overstreet of Overton, and
Williams of Carter, have either left the
city or hid themselves Williams left
behind an impertinent letter, saying he
would have nothing to do with the action
upon the proposed Constitutional Amend
ment until it was first submitted to his
people. Jonse explained his action last
night on the ground that he and Andy
johnson previously lived upon the same
street in Greenville, and consequently
he would do nothing to displease the
President 1t is certain that the men in
their violent and revolutionary conduct
are Influenced directly from Washington.

The Battle Of Custozza.

The General Telegram Company Of
Great Britain furnish additional particu-
lars concerning the engagement at Gus
tozza The left wing Of the Italians was
attacked at various points simulta-
neoasly, and crushed before the remain
der Of the army could come to its aid
After the battle the army Of the Arch
duke advanced in pursuit Of the Italian
army, which up TO that time had main
tanned the position held previously, il
was however driven from Vulleggie and
compelled 10 recross the Mincio, the
Austrians also crossing that river aud
taking up their positisn on Italian terri
tory.
The two armies then stood facing each
other, the Anstrians at VOLTA, and the
Italians some four miles in the north
west, at Solferino, and il was probable
that another engagement would be
fought
The object Of the Italian movement Of
Saturday was 70 withdraw the Austrians
from the line Of the 20, and allow Cial-
DIM TO cross The movement having
failed, Cialdini remained on the south
side Of the river
The reverse Of Sunday, Oath, has in no
way disheartened the Italians.

CENTRAL DIRECTORY.

A special from Washington says The
current gossip at the capitol to-day was
that members are endesvoring to plan
some scheme whereby the Senate can
nominally remain in session until the
next meeting of Congress, to keep
check upon removals from Office by the
President There are so many legal and
other objections in the way, however,
that the scheme must apparently fall
through Another proposition is, that
Congress shall adjourn to meet the FIRST
Monday in November, the Senate post
pouing action on the Tariff bill until
that time.

The ST. Louis Republican, of yester

distinguished fellow-citizen, Col LANG
DON c, HAYNES: a
In the. Memphis delegation is Col
LANapoN G. HAYNES, one Of the most ex-
perienced and accomplished orators OF
the South. Yesterday, at the Exchange,
under somewhat discouraging aud chill
ing circumstances, he addressed the au-
dience in a manner that aroused much
enthusiasm and kindled admiration
for the speaker. There IS so much
of graceful ease in his manner,
such fluent, fervent rhetoric, such
affluence of Illustration and metaphor,
such copiousness and vigor Of Ian
ruage. that all who heard him yesterday
have inspired others 70 unite with them
in expressing the hope that Col. HAYNES
will consent 10 address larger audience
tonight. The representation at the
Southern Hotel of the business men, real
estate owners and capitalists Of 81 Louis
will, of course, be large tonight We
can assure them that speech from Col.
HAYNES will make it a delightful and
memorable evening to all
