Up to Tuesday last, \. Van Auken Co had
shipped twenty-five thousand III tons) pounds
OF wool to market. They still had on hand
about half car load, and are still In the
market ready to take all that may be offered
Messrs. Smith Che Of the long Rrick) and
l. 3. Conner had at that time on hand await
ing sacks for shipment, some twenty thousand
pounds 90 tons), and were still anxious for
more OF the same sort.
The members of the Farmers Grange have
in store, awaiting a purchaser, about eight
thousand pounds a tons.)
1t will thus be seen that our wool trade is
quite large item, and will reach thirty tons
for this point.

From the Dc trolt Post.

From the Detroit Post.
IT would be very fortunate thing if we
could get at the exact feeling of the people OF
the south But they live in so isolated and
seml-cvzed condition that we really know
almost as little about them az we do about the
Cubans. or the Boliviaps. Nine out of ten in
tehgent men have pretty distinct idea OF the
character, aims, and feelings of each other here
in the North, wether one party lives in New
England and the other in Colorado, and rice-
versa. But with the South it is different.
Travellers tell us now and then that the people
are changing are becoming reconciled to the
situation, and are disposed to live at peace
with the Negroes. A demonstration like
BEAUREGARDs at New Orleans wonld be hope
full sign if we could be sure that it represented
the opinions Of any great number OF people.
But here we find the Mobile Register talking
about it as an ''audacious attempt to African
ize the South 1t denounces Beauregard and
others as false to their race and country, and
winds up with a senseless appeal to the women
Of the south not to be drawn down to this de-
grading level; to oppose this movement and
idea, OF they Will be Obliged to marry the " mig
gers " and - to cast away from them with loath-
Ing and contempt the d generate sons OF their
noble slres and to spJrn them with horror
from their maternal and conjugal embraces. v
In like manner the Alabama Times goes on
after this fashion.
"Gen. Beauregard was once an honored
General in the Confederate armies. To-day
Butler, with all his scoundrelism. is a man
more to be respected by Southern people than
the degraded ex Confederate, who has covered
under adverse surroundings, and reports, as
system of social equality that goes further
than Summers Civil Rights bill. Beauregard
would for the sake OF harmony, amalgamate
the races and place them on terms of perfect
equality IN churches, theaters. on cars and on
steamboats,, in cemeteries and at hotels, in
schools and banking-houses, in the social circle
and at the family freside, the Negro and the
white man. This is from Cen. Beauregard, a
once-honored General Of the Lost Cause. To
what base uses do we come And to-day, in
Southern circles Of social respectabity. and
throughout the world wherever Caucasian blood
| flows, the name OF Ben. Butler should be re-
sounded in songs Of praise, and Judas Iscariot
be considered h'gh-toned gentleman, before
this uniHer OF Negro and white blood should be
treated with the courtesy that would be melted
out to the most ignorant Negro who tolls In
our midst.
Who is it that represents the real temper of
the South, BEAUREaARD or his critics and as
sailants Who can tell Who can tell?

On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Hartwell, the
wife OF farmer living near White Oak, met
with quite serious accident. 1t appears that
she was coming to the village in an open buggy
drawn by two horses, which we're driven by her
little son, lad some twelve or thirteen years
Of age. While crossing the bridge over the
miIl-race the team became frightened aud
turned suddenly to the west in the direction
Of the mill. and after proceeding short dis
lance turned suddenly about, taking the back
track toward the bridge. Mrs. Hartwell was
thrown violently from the buggy, striking on
her shoulders and neck. and turninga complete
somersault. The force Of the conclusion gave
her very severe shock, but the extent of her
injuries we did not learn,-hope they were but
slight. The lad escaped unhurt.

TASTES differ in the manner Of celebrating.
Our friend ISAAC had spent the hot term rum
maging among the works OF the disciples OF
o. Coke and blackstone and attending the late
term OF our Circuit Court, which commenced
carly in the sprlng and is not yet concluded
He got up early on the morning of the 4tb,
and, hearing the boys let off fre-crackers, he
was seized with sudden pang OF patriotism
and concluded to ''go-a-hshing.' He went, and
had got comfortably situated with hook baited
and cast into the waters, and was patiently
awaiting nibble or a bite, when smart shower
came up and commenced drenching him pretty
thoroughly. His patriotism suddenly left him,
and it would have done you good to have seen
those long and slender props carry his head and
shoulders in the direction of his home. He
spent the rest OF the day in drying himself by
the cook-stove in the company Of his wife and
baby.

BIG fool has come to tragic end. Prof. CD
LaMounaain, who has been i'll the habit OF
making balloon ascensions on holidays and
other times when and where large gatherings
OF people have assembled for the amusement
OF the " crowd" contracted to make an ascen-
sion at Ionia on the 4th inst. On this occasion
he used hot-alr balloon, and when he had at
tanned an altitude Of five hundred to one thou
sand feet the balloon collapsed and descended
with almost lightning velocity, and LaMountain
was instantly killed. We hope we shall hear
no more OF such senseless exhibitions on days
OF celebrations and other occasions for the
amusement of the idle.
