FRON LAKE SUPERIOR.-The Meteor ar
rived from Lake Superior at noon yester-
day, bringing down a fair share of freight
and a goodly number of passengers. We
append the record of her downward trip,
furnished by her gentlemanly clerk:
Left O%ntonagOn, Judge 18th, 4l:SO A. NJ;
Eagle River 5 P. NJ. Eagle Harbor Z P. NJ;
Copper Harbor 18th, A. NJ. At Eagle Har-
Dor the schOOners Harriet Ross loaded with
powder. was on the reef at the entrance of
the harbor. No hopes were entertained of
getting her of, and her cargo was almost
entirely damaged. Met the Illinois off Port
Kewenaw, and the Concord near Portage
Entry went into Lac La Belle to land for
Portage at 2:5O P. NJ, on the 18th. Left
there at 3 A. NJ, on the l4th and arrived at

j. wheeler and VIM. Shupe nearly loaded.
Reached the Sault Canal at 1880 A. NJ. on
the 18th Detour at $50 P. NJ, and the St.
Clair river on tho 18th. Passed the North
eru Light between Detour and the Sault;
and the kewenaw passed up the day before.
The IrOnsides passed up while crossing Lake
Huron. The Meteor came within FORTY
miles Of this port on Sunday, but owing to
the storm ran back and cast anchor in Pig
con Bay. Being unable to hold she ran back
to Maiden leaving there yesterday morning.
From Mr.. Murdoch the obliging clerk of
the Illinois, we obtain the following facts in
relation to the down ward trip of that yes
sci which reached here at one o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The Illinois, Capt. B. G.
Sweet, left ~Ontanogan June 18th; passed
the Concord, bound up, lying at Eagle Har-
Dor; arrived at Copper Harbor on the morn
ing of June II and left on the 18th. The
Illinois went into Lac La Belle, being the
first steamer that has plowed that beautiful |
stream Of water. Took on board a uuautity |
Of sample copper from the Mendoza Mine. |
Left the same afternoon, and arrived in /
Portage Lake about 5 O'Clock, leaving there |
about I o'clocki passed the steamer Kewee-
nav at the entry; arrived at Marquette at |
; o'clock TIE text morning; whilst living |
there the Northern Light arrived, bound up: |
the propeller Omar Pasha arrived shortly |
alter, for Pig iron Schooners W. G. Grant, |
Gen. Scott and John L. Gross, were also w. |
ing there. The Scott would probably leave
that night. Left Marquette on the evening |
of the 18th; met the Caldwell off Pictured |
Rocks, and arrived at the Sault on SUNDAY |
morning; met the Ironsides in Sault river. |
the bark ]. H. HartzelI in tow, bound
up. The weather was foggy throughout,
and a severe gale was encountered on Sagi-
nav Bay. The Illinois reached PIT. aux
Barque at II o'clock on Sunday night. from
which hour the gale ragged with increasing
violence, until long after she entered the
The weather was very thick all
but the Illinois met with no mishap
except the starting of some of her deck.
Only three or four craft had been noticed on
Lake Huron. They were lumber vessels,
upward bound.
The schooner Harriet Ross, with a cargo
IF powder, lies sunk at Eagle Harbor. With
The prevailing high winds she will probably
90 to pieces.
The Strike at Marquette had not been
iettled when the Illinoi, left, and she was
TO complete the cargo in consequence.
t was thought, however, that an arrange
nent would be made by which the men
would assume work on Monday.
As above stated, the Illinois went into Lao
"a Belle harbor. Capt. Sweet. whose expe-
ience relative to harbOr locations is emit
led TO the highest consideration, assures us !
hat with but little time and a small amount
f exPediture the above point can be con- !
-erted into one Of the best harbors on the
cast of Lake Superior, and in its approaches
ven now there are few that excel it. Its
mineral resources are u~nbounded. The Il !
.nois, it must be borne in mind, is one of !
ne largest steamers on the lakes, yet she ;
