THE LAKES.
Hnrning ola Propeller

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-The burning of the
propeller Belle of Milwaukee, near Port
Washington, Saturday night, has already
been dispatched, with no INFORMATION as to
the fate of the grew.
Yesterday the brigJ. Hutchinson arrived
at this port, ha1ing on board the survivors
of the disaster, viz: Capt. c. N. Mayen,
first mate. of Milwaukee; second engineer
George Wall, Of Milwaukee; second engi-
neer Kicker Tuthin, of Milwaukee; and
George Dusold passenger, of Milwaukee
Patrick Barnes. the Captain of the Belle,
and Chris. Hiiufres, wheelsman, were
drowned.
There were 'only six persons on board
when the fire was discovered, and 1t was
apparently beyond the control of the crew.
They lowered the yawl, and it was half
filed with water by the efforts Of the men
getting into it. In attempting to get pail
from the propeller TO bail the yawl it was
capsized and all were thrown into the
water. The captain and helmsman were not
seen afterward The balance of the crew,
after being several times capsized and suf-
fering fearfully, were finally picked up 10y
the brig Hutchinson and brought to this
port.

WINNIPEG.
From a Fenian Standpoint.

New YORK, Nov. pat a meeting OF
the Fenian leaders yesterday, at the head
quarters, proposition from the W1nnepeg
Insurgents was discussed with much anIma-
ton. One of the members declared as the
insurection was against the Canadian con-
federation not against great Britain, inter
ference on the part of the enemies OF
mother country would probably be I'M
welcome to the Red River half breeds.
Another urged that the GOODNESS OF the
winter IN the Hudson Bay region would
prevent for some months, atleast, extended
military operation. Another speaker created
sn unpleasant impression by drawing
contrast between the conduct of the OPP
pressed Irish, and that of the oppressed
half breeds, unfavorable to the former.
After brief but lively discussion the furth-
er consideration Of the subject was deferred
till further occasion.
--latest from the Field.
OTTAWA, Nov. 22.--It is said that the
government has received information from
Gov. McDougall confirming the report that
the half breeds were in open hostility.
II is also stated the matter viii be left en-
tirely in the hands of McDougall for settle
Inent.

action in favor of Canadian authority,

Gov McTavish is very Ill, and cannot
take the field in person, which is greatly to
be regretted.

TORONTO, Nov. PA special from St
Paul says: simultaneously with the ex-
pulsion of Gov McDougal, another band OF
French insurgents took possession of Fort
Garry without obstruction. The Fort is
now occupied by the provisional Governor,
John Rraze. Gov. McTavish is dangerously
ILL., The Hudson Bay Company do not or
ganize to support McDougal.
Letters to the 9th inst report all quiet,
with no interruption of business. Six
hundred men, sworn to resist the Canadian
authorities, and calling themselves liberia
tors, are in arms.
Letters from Fort Garry represent the
insurgents as having the support of the
Scotch and English settlers in greater de-
gree than was first expected. The Ameri-
can residents are represented as neutral.
Gov McDougal is still at Pembino.
| Mr.. Proveneher is said to be in favor Of
returning to Canada, to which the Governor
will not consent.

SHALL WE HAVE A COUNTY CON-
VENTIONl

To Editors Of the Union and American:
Some of our citizens appear to favor a
County Convention and say that they
could find "a thousand othersif necessary"
who would also be in favor of it. If it
is really desired, why not proceed regu-
larry? We have an Executive Committee,
of which DR.. ]. B. Manlove is Chairman
and Messrs. Purvis, Kinney, and others
are members. The proper mode would
be for the committee to call the cOnven-
ton. But what necessity is there for a
Convention9 If we have correctly under
stood the objects of convention it is to
unite the party and prevent defeat. We
have majority in this county of five or
seven thousand; the Radical or Re
publican party know that they
have no hope of electing any
candidate and we can walk over the
track. This necessity not obtaining, there
is no reason why county convention
should assemble. But there are other OBJ
jections which need only be intimated.
Conventions are not always fortunate in
the selection of candidates, either with
reference to the views, qualifications or
popularity of the nominee, and are most
frequently the cause of dissension and
dissatisfaction to the people. They
are too frequently made the theater
for the intrigue of the politician
and the defea: of the wishes of
the people If nominations should
be made by q convention of this
county, there would probably be but two
candidates in the field, and if the people
should not endorse their views they would
be without remedy. And if nominations
should be made at the time proposed there
would be no opportunity for the grave
and vital questions before the country
to be discussed, nor for the members OF
the county convention to acguaint them
selves with the views of the aspirants for
the position Another fact is that the
people are capable of electing the men
they want, and that too, without the
kindly interposition of a nominating con-
vention, and when the people decide
then no man can complain, and all must
submit. Many other objections could be
urged against a county convention, but
for the present we think the above are
sufficient. ONE OF THE People.
