Massachusetts defeated in the Massachusetts Legislature last winter has just completed two important contracts of a sim ilar kind in rance One is for the laying of a cable 480 miles long between Toulon and Al giers the other connecting Toulon with Corsica a distance ot 150 miles The depth of the Medi terranean being about two miles a most favorable opportunity will be now afforded of testing the value of the' light cable which the British Trans atlantic Telegraph Company of which Mr Gis borne is the engineer proposes to lay from the coast of Cornwall to the Straits of Belle Isle and through the Gulf of St Lawrence to Canada It is said that a rench war steamer is to be placed at the disposal of Mr Gisborne for the purpose of making soundings for bis cables and the work of laying them is to lie completed on or before the 31st of October next Should these experi ments be successful they will tend powerfully to inspire public confidence in the British Transat lantic cable which it is intended to carry across the ocean next year Steamer for Sandwich Islands A steamer of 314 tons burden is to be hunt iu Boston to be used in carrying passengers and freight between the Sandwich

the Empress is About to Do rom the Philadelphia Press Aa hoops once got out of fashion so they will again fall into disuse The latest fashions bul letin from Paris which exhibits and describes the modes for July announces two facts highly interesting to the female portion of society The double skirt is to be discontinued in consequence of the change of mode just beginning which only permits of a great width to the lower part of the dress thereby diminishing the proportion of the upper the reporter adds this modification may already be looked upon as a sort of invasion on the rights of the long triumphant The fact is the Empress Eugenie who rules the fashions in Paris has set her face very decidedly against the excesses of crinoline and if rumor is to be credited intends having them wholly abolished by the time the next sea son commences It is her manifestation against the double akirt which has already substituted flotinces'of which three or four are to be worn but none above the knee Indeed Eugenie seems inclined to bring back the female fashions of the early part of the first Empire sben Josephine was the autocrat of dress and restore the figure to its natural shape The impression in Paris where all things run into extremes is that even short waists will bo revived Think of that Master Brooke? Think of waists directly under their arms Yet this was the fashion worn in 1804 by Josephine the Graceful and by Mad ame Recamier then the acknowledged Queen of Beauty I Cadillac Thursday at 8 They

circum atanceslearer akin to romanci than plain naked truth as developed by the laffi davits which as we are informed are now in prbgresH of being sub mitted for legal adjudication' Thefollowing are the principal facts as set forth In the document alluded to: About five years agothere came to reside in Brooklyn a lady of remarkably genteel and prepossessing appearance who represented herself to be widow from theyicinitv of MobileAla and who evidently hi4 means sufficiently ample to enable her to occupy a respectable so cial position She was accompanied by a little boy of seemingly mulatto or negro parentage then about three years old which she invariably spoke of as being the only surviving child of a favorite servant of her deceased husband I'a the course of time she (being yet young and tract ive) was wooed and by a gentlem an who formerly was engaged iu mercantile pu rsuits in New York but who (becoming unfortunate in business) is at present in the employ as a book keeper of an eminent firm across the river Tbe fruits of this marriage are two fair hairefl chil dren and up to within a recent period the pa rents have lived harmoniously and affectionately together A sad blight has however overtaken their dream of happiness the morning of the 14th inst a man of stalwart proportions and some what handsome but of snarked ebony hue called at the house of the party alluded to accompanied by two New York lawyers and de manded possession' of the apparently negro boy alleging himself to be the father of the pretended slave child and declaring that its female custo dian was its mother and his divorced wife So startling a disclosure has of course created the utmost consternation and alarm among the friends of those who are most deeply interested in unraveling the truth of this strange eventful the lady stating in the most emphatic manner that the statements of her accuser are in famously false and originate in a plot to destroy her peace On the other hand the alleged hus band and father of the boy has sworn to the truth of his averment and says that witnesses will be produced from St Louis Mo where he is well known as a trader and property owner to sustain him in the proceedings which he has (only thus far partially) instituted The lady is of German ex traction and the person who claims to have been once her lord is either of Creole or semi Indian breed He states that the separation be tween them was caused by detected infidelity on her part and that until within a short period past he was led to believe that she was in Europe axd LACES EVERY

Saginaw coun ty It seems that a week or two since a couple of young men of this city named Harrison Cole and Burk concocted a scheme to entrap and entice away a young girl the daughter of a re spectable farmer named Darby of Birch Run Saginaw county The girl at the time it seemswas away from home and Cole went with a team to the place where she was stopping and as she says told her that her sister (who lives at ay ville) was going to a dance at Pine Run and wanted her to meet her at her house and together to go from there to the dance She got Into the carriage with Cole and when he arrived at the proper place to turn towards her home he put whip to the horse and came on with her to this city arriving at about 2 What transpired subsequently we have not learned fur ther than that unsuccessful attempts at violation of her person were made and that she was found by her father at a house of questionable charac ter just out of the city He proceeded home with her stopping on the way at Pine Run at which place she succeeded in purchasing unnoticed some red precipitate which she administered to herself and is now in a very dangerous condition in consequence being neither able to see or hear Her name in iintu and she is but fifteen years of age Cole was arrested here on bwrdj ingbyan officer from Saginaw county and a war rant was issued at the same time for Burk Cole is about nineteen or twenty years old and is the son of a very worthy and hard working father who has done all that a parent could do to induce him to reform his habits lint Democrat July 25 The Crops We have conversed with farmers living in different parts of the country during the past week and they all assure us that their crops of every kind are looking finely and that there was never a fairer prospect for an abun dant harvest The frosts which so severely in jured crops in other sections of the country did very little damage in the Grand Traverse Bay counties Traverse City Herald July 15 The wheat crop of this county is nearly secured and both in quantity and quality is exceedingly good AU other crops with the exception of grass promise a good yield Grass is very light Hay must be high the com ing winter It will stand farmers in hand to save all the straw and corn stalks they can Ann Arbor News July 26 We believe our farmers universally acknowl edge their wheat crop this year to be more than average and the quality of berry was never sur passed in the recollection of the inhabi The average yield per acre in the county we have heard estimated by grain dealers at fif teen bush elk Such may be the case yet we are in clined to the beliel that thirteen or fourteen bush els per acre would be about a sure thing to win on as the average' yield in this county The number of acres raised as compared with previ ous years or the last year is much a fourth perhaps There is a flattering promise of an abundant yield of corn potatoes which are coming on rapidly to Paw Paw ree

Yfe that it is yet to be determined whether when the race has been advanced in civilization by contact with the whites it will not inevitably fall back into barbarism if emancipated from the control of the superior race and left to hew out its own destiny There is much evidence in support of the affirmative of this latter prop osition and we are aware of very little against it We know that the abolitionists of this country will not admit that the consequences of British West India emancipation have been the relapse of the negroes towards barba rism and the desolation of the islands as agri cultural districts but nevertheless such have been the consequences But if they refuse to make this admission with regard to the British West Indies we think we have some facts with regard to an adjacent island which they will find difficulty in successfully gainsaying We allude to Hayti ifty five years ago Hayti passed from white to black dominion The ne groes under white tutelage had attained to a considerable degree of civilization and they set out in the xiork of governing themselves under os good auspices and with as fair pros pects as probably any community of blacks over will set out in the same work The facts with regard to the course of events in Hayti and the condition into which the island has at length fallen which we are about to present we obtain from a Haytien newspaper published at Cape Haytien called the L'Avenir It first refers to the island when it became an indepen dent State fifty five year ago the last years that preceded our indepen dence (the revolution against the whites) the country enjoyed a material prosperity unequaled in the Antilles or in any other country of the world The island of Hayti at that time produc ed annually 140000000 pounds of sugar 70000 000 pounds of uoffee and all the other products of the Antilles in great abundance Its com merce employed 710 vessels of heavy tonnage to export Its products which exceeded its imports tions by some 130000000 francs It had a nume rous population excellent and well kept public roads which connected its picturesque citiesand A very garden must have been Hayti ac cording to this description Let us see what it is now according to the same writer rom that era of proverbial prosperity to the present stale of decay what a dreadful what a shameful change! To day our fields neglected and abandoned not only cannot answer the de mands of commerce but do not even produce sufficient food lor the population and we fortu nate inhabitants of the wealthy St Domingo arc compelled to look to the American continent tot sugar rice and even corn anil a stoppage for two mouths of imports of American provisions would spread famine and desolation over the whole island as has very nearly happened at vari ous times commerce wavering nnd dragging along painfully is nearly ruined by the disastrous nulli ty ot our agriculture Tbo stranger sees with surprise the richest lands in the world without cultivation and without inhabitants With a ter ritory equal to one third that of England our population scarcely reaches half a million more public roads no bridges no protec tion against tue oveiflow of our rivers which left to take their own course inundate at the least rise tbo few plantations that yet remain scattered along their bunks Stock raising is ft nullity our horses have degenerated into puny animals our oxen are lean aud famished and furnish us with meat that contains uo'nutntious And much more of the same sort and then a chapter on the deplorable moral condition of tire Republic The writer ascribes this terrible relapse to the want of good faith in the vari ous governments thnt have succeeded each oth aud to the sordid ambition of those men who have sacrificed the welfare of the people and country to their own But these reasons are insufficientto the most shallow observer The fatal declension must lie ascri bed more to the character of the people than to the character of the rulers And the L' Avenir confesses ns much when it sustains a project of immigration designed to infuse a fresh element of population consisting of negroes from the United Slates those which it most desires be ing the creoles of New Orleans the most civil lized negroes in the world We do not hesitate to say that if negroes are capable of advancement in civilization when left to themselves the fact has yet to be practi cally shown We go a step further if they are capable when left to themselves of preserving that state of civilization to which they had pre viously attained in contact with the whites that fact has yet to lie practically shown NOT CABBY BOTH WAYS Thu Underground Railroad does not carry passengers both ways It has active runners on the borders of the slave States instructed to btimufato by all aorta of appliances negroes to run away and to ticket through to the dominions all such and all other runaway ne groes but nut one negro who has tired of Ca nadian liberty will it carry back to Lis old home in the South however importunate he may be to reach that destination A case in point has recently happened The other day a boat ar rived at Cleveland from Port Stanley Canada containing sixteen fugitive slaves who had been brought over the Underground Railroad during the past two years and who were on their way back to the South Haring wearied of their hard lot in Canada and having sought in vain to go Lack by the same aid which had brought them northward they had written to their for mer masters begging for assistance and entreat ing that they might return to the comforts and joys which they had been induced to desert Their masters favorably lesjsmded and sixteen happier negroes had never been seen han those who took the above ground railroad line from Cleveland to Cincinnati immediately upon the arrival of the above mentioned boat from Port Stanley What must be thought of the managers of the Underground Railroad who will neither nave from starving nor aid to return to their old homes negroes whom they have stolen in the South and transported to Canada? What description of philanthropy is it that ani mates these managers They do the master an injury in stealing his negroes and this is their intent but they do the negroes a greater in jury in giving them freedom which they can not support and which makes them worthless vagabonds But what care these managers for the negroes so that they inflict damage upon the masters And right here we have a solu tion of the philanthropy that animates these managers WHAT THEY NOW SAY At the late black republican State conven tion in Maine the following resolution was adopted we hold unequivocally to the doctrine cf genuine popular sovereignty aud the right of tliu people in every State aud Territory to estab lish their own institutions in their own way subject only to the constitutional powers of Congress and the restraints of a just This is precisely the doctrine the dem ocratic party lias always held holds now andwill continue to hold and the Cincinnati plat form will show something marvelously like it But the Philadelphia platform resolved a little differently It declared that not the should establish the institutions for the people of the Territories and that is the doctrine still held by the black republican par ty hereabouts Since the southern ultras stole the march upon theip however ami applied the doctrine to the establishment and protec tion of slavery in the Territories the black re publicans have grown ashamed of it and now we behold those in Maine acknowledging the soundness of the democratic position But it will not avail them The democracy are glad that the enemies of popular sovereignty are at last brought to sound its praises but it will not eave their bacon Their repentance is a death bed repentance nnd although it may be accept able it will not save them from dissolution stara Stxameb The steamer Ravenswood was burned on Lake Ponchartrain La on the 5th und a Mr Bloom of Mandeville lost bis life 1000 pairs Kid Gloves at 3 shillings marsed down from 7 shillings rench oulard Stilts at 4 shillings marked down from 6 shillings Real Canton Silk at 5 shit tings marked down from 7 shillings Elegant ancy Silks at 8 shillings marked down from 10 shulinga and J2 shillings Best Calicos ever made at 10 eents marked dpwq from 1 shilling and 15 cento Real rench Calicos at 18 cento marked down from 2 shillings and 31 cents Delaines and Challies at 8 cents marked down from 1 shilling 1 ine rench Challies at 18 cents marked down from 2 shillings and 31 cents All Silk and Wool Challies at 3 shillings marked down from 5 shillings Grenadine Robes and Robe a Lea at $10 marked down from $15 Barege Robes and Robe aLez at $4 marked down from $7 Double Jope Muslin Robes at $225 marked down from four dollars rench Muslins and Lawns at 1 shilling and 18 rents marked down from 18 cents and 31 cents White Brilliants at 10 and 15 cento marked down from 1 shilling and 2 shillings Chintz Colored Brilliants at 1 shilling and 18 rents marked down from IS ceuts and 2 shillings Bonnet Ribbons at 18 cents and 2 shillings marked down from 2 and 3 shillings ancy Silk ringes at 6 cents marked down from 1 shilling Silk Dress Buttons at 6 cents marked down from 1 shilling EVERY ARTICLE IN THE TRIMMING LINE MARKXD DOWN All kinds of Lace Goods and Embroideries Marked down WATCH STEEL SPRING EXTENSION SKIRTS Marked down EVERY ARTICLE SUMMER GOODS MARKED DOWN AT ASTONISHING BARGAINS or the Benefit THE PURCHASING PEOPLE RTSB1E CO 167 Jefferson avenue Detroit June 20th 1859 jelfl SLAVERY TO BE ORCED UPON Ill the Kansas constitutional convention now in session the section prohibing slavery or in voluntary servitude was adopted by a vote of forty eight to one orty eight to one What more effectual com mentary could there be upon the misrepresen tations of black republicanism than this fact They raised the cry that slavery was to be for ced upon Kansas and upon that they rode into power in most of the northern States Here we behold the result Ol all the delegates elected to the constitutional convention but one can be found to vote for making Kansas a slave State Is not this better and we put the question to the black republicans themselves is not this better than it would have been for Congress to have prohibited it by special enactment as they were advocating in 185G THEIR NEW STORE Corner of Woodward avenue and Congress street And respectfully can the attention of their friends and the pubtie generally to their Large and Well Assorted STOCK Staple and ancy Dry Goods!
