The blow still continues, and Lake Eric IS
in terrible state OF conltNoiion. The daul-

parts tidfngs Of disasters ire reaching us.
Several vessels asc ashore at various points,
and many OF those lying near the shore ale

The scow General Sherman arrived here
damaged condition. Near kcllcy's island,
where she had been anchored siuce Monday
morning, the scow 31agdclena was driven
from her anchorage and collidcd with her,
carrying away the Shermau's bowsprit, an
chor and jlb. The Magda1ena then drittcd
thcre2narrow1y escaping destruction by COM
ing in collision with thcul, and at length found
anchorage near the Island.
The scow Sutler Girl parted her cables
during the gale, but escaped with tue loss Of
m anchor. The wind xns blowing, very
fresh, and the sea near kelley's Island Was
reported the heaviest that had been known
there for several years. A largc number Of
vessels are at anchor or the Island.
The vessel reported ashore at Ectmilll0n

she first went ashore, and was got on aud put

Of lumber was thrown overheard.

managed to enter the harbor in = wAtcr-loggcd

The high winds OF the past three days
l,n7e greatly damaged the fisheries: In many
cases the pounds are torn up and tlc nets de-
stroyed. The high winds and tue sudden
changes have driven such Immense bodies Of
water alternately in and out Of the bay, that
the pounds aud nets have yielded before the
irresistible c,1rr ents to which they have been
subjected. The loss to one firm in this city
is estimated at five Thousand dollars, and the
entire loss to the fisheries OF this city and
the neigbboriRg islands, will not fall short Of
thirty thousand dollars. Not only Is the loss
Of property great. but the catch Of fish has
been lost Tor the time mentioned, and during
the remainder Of the season the tradc VIII

sTRhHcTH OF FpART1Rz-


Coppcrhoad newspapers sometimes atllym
that the Republican party IL minority party.
and that the two wings OF the "Dcmocra,ic"
party outnumber II. But this assertion Il nm.
true, aa tho fagurcs prove.
al The last Presidential election the Rcpub.
'tcans pollcd majority Of Ill 900 votes. and
IL all of the soldiers had been allowed The
privilege Of voting, the majority would have
oeen full half million. Five Southern
states took pari in the election, VIZ: Mary
land, Delaware, West Virginia, Missouri and
hentuckS. The last named gave the Copper
head ticket &, 900 majority, The remaining
eleven Southern States, numbering about nine
millions ofinhabitants, did not take part In
the election, being still In rebellion. The
States which participated In that election cm-
Traced twenty-five millions Of people, OF
whom nearly one million wcrc colorcd cltI-
zeDs deprived Of the privilege Of the ballot.
Each vote cast at Presidential election
represents about ak persons. a majority Of
half a million of votes, therefore, represents
three millions of population. In five Of the
border States good many rebels were pre-
vented from voting; but. go were all the
"black " Republicans. Suppose all the rcb-
els Of those States aud all the colorcd men
Ind voted. the majority for Lincoln would
hare exceeded half million by flfly or seven
ty thousand. In the eleven secession States
there arc three and half millions Of colorcd
people and million of unconditional Union
white people who would vote the Republican
ticket, leaving four and a half millions of rcb.
els. Collecting these numbers together, VIC
hare the following result:
ML!te Republicans tn ioysl s.ates. o0o
Mh,!e Republicans In rebel st.tes:.:.:.. 1e'o oeS
oneA ..-..--- a50otO0
Total strength Of Republican party. 600
Copperhcads and rebels in lo5al States . 9,3tN,D0o
Coppefheacs and rebels IN seeded States. 45o00
Total strength Of Cop, and rebel party s, 900
Republican prepondcrance. a,l0o, 900
1t is thus seen that a majority OF the Ameri-
can people Of not less than three and hall
millions support the measures und principles
Of the Republican party.
In the reconstruction of the Union the
great contest rcvotvcs around and ccnteEs on
the Copperhead and rebel proposition to ex-
cludc the four millions OF colored Republicans
from a voice in the Government, aud let in
four and half millions Of rebels. aud includ-
Ing those in tho Rorder States, nearly seven
millions. This is the much Wanted "Jolln-
son policy OF reconstruction, and VIC regret
10 add that there arc some fellows Of the
bascr sort calling themselves Conservative
Republicans" Hike Doolitt1c, who advocate
this monstrous proposition The reason is
clear enough why the Copperhcads arc In
favor Of letting in nil tho rebels and keeping
out nil the co1orcd men. 1t is because the
former will vote for thtir ticket, and the lat
ter will vote the Republican ticket. But is
that good reason why mer protesting to be
Republicans, should endorse it,
