nearly full of water, and ten minutes later
she rolled over on her beam ends, with her
spars in the water, which position she was
in when the crew abandoned her. No lives

LOCKING UP GREENBACks. The New
York correspondent of the Chicago Journal
gives the following expose of one of the
tricks of the stock speculaters in the me-
trcpoiis
You have observed this expression fire.
quently of late in the New York papers
1t alludes to the last species of sharp prac-
tice in Wall street. IT spectators can
make tight money market, the price OF
railway shares declines, and having sold
short in advance, they reap the benefit
of the fall. Though there are several modes
OF locking up money, the following is the
one praeticed he-e. 1t was resorted to for
the first time two years ago, and has since
been successfully tried twice. Say, for ex-
ample, several capitalists or SPECTATORS
club their railway stock together to the
amount of 81, 200, ,000 This stock is taken
to some bank, say the Fourth National,
and given as collateral security for mill
ion of greenbacks they then proceed to
another institution and borrow at per
cent interest one million more of green
backs, giving the first million as security.
The security cannot be used by the bank,
and is thus locked up, with the second mil
lion of dollars this obtained, the clique
proceed to another bank, and in the same
manner lock UP another million of dollars.
They continue this game until they have
locked up six, or eight OF tea millions OF
dciiars. In the meanwhile they have sold
large amounts of stock, and when the fall
comes they jump in and cover, and realize
hundreds of thousands of dollars A
scheme OF this character has materially
aided in causing the tight money mar

Another Severe Storm-Damage to
" Shipping.

Oh ppiuS.
Another violent storm swept over the
lake this week, continuing from Sunday
night until towards morning on Tuesday.
We fear there will be many disasters to
chronicle. The following is the damage to
shipping in this vicinity, so far as we have
been able to ascertain:
The schooner Gen. Winfield Scott, bound
from Chicago to Oconto for lumber, came
to an anchor off Two Rivers at clock on
Sunday evening, the wind then being from
the NoE.d About O clock it shifted to the
S. b., and continued to blow from that
point with great violence for the thirty
hours following. On Monday morning,
while the vessel was pitching heavily, the
blade of her rudder worked loose and came
off, About 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon
the vessel commenced dragging. though
both anchors were down, and at Z Of clock
seeing that she would inevitably go ashore
unless something was done to prevent it, the
Captain ordered the foremost cut down,
which was DONE. A short time afterwards
her mainmast went by the board of itself.
| and in this condition she rode out the
storm. The tug Kitty Smoke went to her
relief on Tuesday afternoon, and towed her
into this port. The Scott is vessel of 81 8
tons burthen, owned by J. j. MAYPoLE and
others in Chicago, and commanded by
Capt j. W. HARRISON, from whom we
obtain these particulars. She is insured
for $4,000, but in what company we have
been unable to learn. She now lies at
JONES ship-yard, and will winter in this
port. Her hull is ,uninjured.
The schooner Gilbert Knapp, of Racine,
came to an anchor off tho south point dur
ing Sunday night, but finding her anchors
would not hold her, she made sail and came
into the bay, leaving one of her anchors off
the point. Her remaining anchor was in
sufficient to keep her off the beach, aad on
Monday morning she slipped her caole, and
attempted to enter the harbcr, which she
succeeded 10 doing. On Wednesday, with
the aid of the tug Kitty Smoke, Capt JOS
j.. EDWARDS, she succeeded in recovering
both her anchors and proceeded to Two
Rivers, where she loaded with lumber.
The scow Home, of Milwaukee, bound
from Milwaukee to Grand Traverse with
merchandise, attempted to make the har>
Dor little before noon on Monday, but
failed and went to the leeward of the north
harbor pier. She succeeded il getting lines
out to the pier, however, and, in this stu
alton, lay easily until the gale abated. Her
cargo, upon which there was no insurance,
sustained considerable damage. The ves>
sci was inj ured but slightly.
The propeller OHaua, bound south, vas
compelled to run back from abreast Amster
dam, and came to an anchor 10 the bay
The schooner Fleetwiag, of this place, and
two or three strange vessels, also weathered.

E6T We do not, as general thing, take
the trouble of replying to all the silly twad-
die that our shallow pated, penny whistle
neighbor puts in the columns OF his dish
water concern, but he has harped so much
OF late upon tho Pilot aud the editorial
writing Of the Pilot that we think word
now upon the subject would be in season.
Foremost, then, We say that the Pilot is
owned, edited and controlled by him who
established it, and that the editor of the
Pilot has both the manhood and decency to
ho'd himself responsible for all that appears
in its columns, as editorial-and does not,
like the Tribune man, seek to throw infamy
and disgrace on any Junior eonnected with
its management and whether the articles
which appear in the Plot, as editorial, are
written by oursef, our lab'e as
sistant, Mr.. READ, or anybody else. is a
matter of no concern at all to the people
it is enough for the public to know that all
editorial matter that appears in the Plot
without signature. is made ours, and is
ours, whether it flags the penny whistle
man 'sor any other man.
If the weak>minded, thin skinned crea-
ture, who has the controlling management
OF the Tribune will confine his dawdling ef-
forts to the conduct of his own disreputable
Smut Machine and let bis betters alone he
would do wise thing Tor his publicreputa-
ton.
Be advised, penny whistle, and attend to
your own business.

writer incidentally mentions what particular

Condition Of the Crops in July.

The following is an abstract from Con
dition of the Crops in the Monthly Report
of Agriculture for July:
CoRE-The most remarkable fact in con
nection with the corn crop of the present
year is the great increase of its acreage in
the South, the difference In number Of acres
between the present and presiding year
being more than two millions and half. A
slight decrease IS apparent in the eastern
seaboard States, resulting from the unpro-
pitious character Of the recent cold, wet,
and backward spring, which sadly inter
fered with planting A careful estimate of
the acreage shows a decrease of 40, 500 acres
in eight States, and an increase Of 3, los, 2I5
acres in the remaining States, as follows:
