The Little Western.

The venturesome craft known as the
Little Weste7n was launched this morning,
and makes trial trip to-day, at three
0 clock p. m., preparatory to her solitary
voyage across the ocean. This morning
she was hauled to the slip next the Illinois
Central building. where she was surround
ed by knot of curious people, walking
around her, peering up the scupper holes,
examining the general makeup of the
craft, and plying the venturesome twain
who are to cross i'm her with numerous
questions. The little craft will oe provis-
ioned with preserved meats, which will be
taken on at Quebec, and can carry 12O gal
Ions of water in six galvanized iron tanks
placed under tbe cabin, each one foot long
and two feet high, and which will act as
air and water-tight compartments. The
scupper holes have patent valve IN them,
admitting the passage of water from the
deck. but closing and preventing It's COM
ing from below. The keel is Of iron, and
weighs $50 pounds. The center board is
of boiler iron, 6 feet long, weighs 200
pounds, and has fall of four or five feet.
Ii water enters at the top it at once es>
capes through the keel. The vessel
weighs 1000 ponds and is of three tons
burthen Custom House weight. The cabin
is hermetically sealed, valves admit fresh
air, closing or opening with the motion OF
the vessel and preventing the entrance OF
water. The boat, it is claimed, cannot be
swamped even when in full sail, the weight
at the bottom bringing her right side up.

to start on the 25th for their trip TO the cd

1t would be a task that none of his po-

amounts to, or to show that he amounts to
anything. Leaving that job to his friends,
we propose to tell only what Colfax has
sacorn to, and has. sworn to do if elected to
responsible Office. At South Bend, Ind. /,

In the presence of Almighty God and

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING-The bark
Alice Richards, Capt r. l.. BELL, of this
place, was struck by lightning on Monday
night Of last week, while lying in MASON S
slip, in the Chicago river. The electric
fluid struck near the head Of her foremast,
shattering the cross, trees, and descended
the mast, entering the forecastle where the
hands had just turned in, but fortunately
injured no one. The foreu,ast was splinter
ed considerably, several planks sprung in
the deck, and other slight damage dcne
which necessitated her remaining in Chica-
60 two or three days for repairs. We
learn these facts from Mrs. BELL, who was
on board the vessel at the time.

Thad. Stevens says he does not expect
to get action on his new articles OF impeach-

He has long speech which he means to
deliver when he brings them forward. He
consulted the Speaker this morning about
the matter to~day, but was told that it
would be difficult to do anything while the
tax bill was under consideration. i, o ther
members advised him to make no mere un-
til that is finished.
