Rescue of the ShipWrecked Sailors
Near Marquette---The Captains

MARQUETTE, Mich. ". 19.-The Of
ficers and crew of the steam barge Robert
Wallace. and her consort, the schooner
David Wallace. which went ashore on Cho-
cOay beach in the storm of Nov. IS. were
rescued this morning by the crew from the
lHe-saving station at H5ughton, which
came with boats and apparatus on special
train. Both the officers and the men were
in excellent condition. save that the crew
Of the barge were weak from the prolonged
fast. In an interview with a reporter
CAPTAIN BROWN. OF THE STEAMER. SAID:
We were loaded with wheat consigned from
Duluth to J. d. Sawyer, of Buffalo, the Rob-
ert Wallace carrying 49, 900 bushels and the
David Wallace $4,000. The crew of the
steam barge numbered fifteen men and that OF
her consort niue. We had not been out many
hours before the storm of ne 18th struck US.
The driving snow and sleet made it impossi-
bic to see rod ahead. Every precaution
was taken for the safety of the vessels, but
owing TO the tremendous sea sOundingS were
impossible, and we had absolutely no means
of ascertaining our position until the vessels
struck at about l a III. on the 18th. We had
no idea we were near Iand. so far out OF our
reckon ng were we. 1 supposed we were of
Michipocaten, point some eight miles dis
tant. IS soon as we struck the seas began
rolling over US with tremendous force, the
Robert Wallace suffering the most from their
violence In about four hours she was bent
so badly as to be practically broken, and

the crew in the captains cabin, in the for
ward part of the ship. VIII ca. being higher
out of water, was less exposed to the fury of
the waves. Apart from the fact that little
parched wheat was all we had in the way of
provisions, we were not seriously uncomfOrt-
able. and at no time did we have the least
doub BIT but what we should be rescued, for if
the vessel had been liable to go TO pieces, she
would have done so long before da' light
Thursday morning. If | could have got word
to the crowd on shore,I should have told them
was IN no danger. and preferred remaining
on the vessel to risking my life in yawl,
with such a sea running. Owing to their
having access to provisions, the crew of the
David Wallace suffered no great hardships.
Capt. Brown reports that the cargo is a
total loss, but believes both vessels can be
saved

simply on basis of population. with no
reference to the political complexion
of any district. 1t will be seen
that the representation of the southern
part Of the state is decreased. while there
is a corresponding gain in the north. In
Ramsey and Hennepin counties the districts
would be more numerous. And yet with
any respect paid to county boundaries, it is
impossible to make districts that will not be
apparently giving an unjust proportion to
some counties. And with this same respect
to county lines the gain in the northern half
of the state will be seen not to be so large.

A Letter Written DurIng the War to

Rrnucht OTIght,

Brought to T.Ight.
BALTIMORE. Nov. 19.-Anent the charge
by Gen. Sherman made some time ago that
Jefferson Davis as president of the south
ern confederacy. had threatened to use
Lees army to coerce the Southern states.
the Sun will publish tomorrow a letter
which was written By Davis to Gov. Vance,
of North Carolina, in January, 1868, and
which was published in the Raleigh Stand
ard at that time. The dO:umuent which
is quite lengthy, rehearSes the futile efforts
made by Davis to obtain conference with
Northern leaders looking 10 a peaceful set
tlement of the differences, and concludes
as follows:
l fear much from the tenor of the news I
have received from North SCarolina that an
attempt will be made By some bad men to in
augurate q movement which must be cOnsid-
cred as equivalent to aid and comfort to the
enemy, and which all patriots should combine
to put down at any cost. You may count on
my aid in every effort to spare your state the
scourge of civil warfare, winch will devastate
her homes if the designs of these traitors be
suffered TO make head. / know you will place
yourself in your legitimate position in the
lead OF those who will not suffer the name of
the old North state to be blachened by such a
stain. Will you pardon me for suggesting
tuat my only SOuTC0 VI ulSquloIuuS Oh INC
subject has arisen from the fear that you
will delay too long the action which now ap-
pears inevitable, and that by your overearn-
est desire to reclaim by conciliation men
whom you believe to be sound at heart
but whose loyalty is more than suspected
elsewhere. you will permit them to gather
such strength rs to require more violent
measures than are now needed. With your
influence and position the promoters of un-
founded discords now prevalent in your
state. would be put down without the use of
physical force. if you would abandon the
policy of Cancellation and set them at def
ance. In this course, frankly and firmly pur-
sued. you would rally around You all that is
best and noblest in your state. and your
triumphs would be bloodless. If the con-
trary policy be adopted, much fear you will
be driven to the use of force to repress the
action. 1 have the honor to be, very respect
fully, JEFFERSON DAVIS.

ST. JOINS, n. F., Nov. 19.-The Peter
head whaler Catherine, Capt. Bense, left
here on March IS on a whale and seal fish
ing voyage in Davis straits and Cumberland
gulf. The ships company numbered
twenty-five. The western voyage to Cape
Farewell was one succession of terrific
gales, with mountainous seas. The ship
labored much and strained heavily. The
months of July and August were passed in
vainly endeavOring to reach the Oil fields.
On Sept. 80 the captain had to beach the
ship. which was making water rapidly and
Tast sinking. Scarcely was the whaler
beached when she swung over on a serrated
reef which pierced her bottom and sides,
converting her into complete wreck. The
boats were Immediately lowered and pro-

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-Base ball circles

MINOR MATTERS.

A Prospective Boom in Railway Lands In
the Tar Northwest.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The general opinion
among the Northwestern members of Congress
is that the effect of the bill on which the confer
ence committee having it IN charge made its re-
port to the House last Saturday, will be to settle
up thousands of acres of land which are now
held by the land-grant railroad companies for
speculative purposes. This bill WILL in all prob
ability, throw these lands into the market, be-
cause the law will compel the companies to pay
the cost of conveyance, and will subject them,
in consequence, to taxation. The companies will
not care to pay tax on unproductiye real es-
tate, and rather than do so they will dispose of
the lands Those who have given this subject
attention are confident that the effect of the
bill will be to settle thousands and thousands of
acres in the country west of the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers, and that the boom will begin as
soon as the President signs the bill
