Shakespearean actor commenced an en gagement of five nights only at Young Hall last evening We have seldom seen the hall so crammed to excess as it was on that occasion There was not a vacant seat or

condensing tbe reports published in the appendix also to include the names of the elders in all tbe churches Rev Dr Duffield hoped that the statistical tables would lie retained and that the reports

in this city bagging cordage and a coarse quality of linen goods We are happy now to state that the organiza tlon of the company has been perfected ami matters have so far progressed that actual oper ations will shortly be commenced The com pany is a jaint stock company organized un der tbe laws of the State and is known as tbe Detroit lax Manufacturing The officers are as follows: President Robert Meginnity Secretary A A Simmons 4 'lYeaswrer A II Adams i Directors Mark lanigan Robert Hosil A II Wilkinson Robert MeginnityJohu Deffron Smith apd Jah Clough The capital stock Is $100 600 one halfof wbioh is paid The company has purchased at an expense of $14500 a lot at the foot of Chene: street This lot has a river front of 178 feet affording all the facilities for dock! purposes 'that will be Abortion of the dock sia already built and will be extended along the 'whole front The lot extends back and lies on both aides of At water street there being on tbe of Atwater an extent of 113 feet by 200 feet on Chene On this corner the work of erecting a factory has already commenced The contract has been let the tnason work to Alex Chapoton and the carpenter 'work to' More' house Mitchell and Byram and the whole is to be completed by tbe first of January" building is be of briek and stone two stories high and 50 by 100 feet in dimensions sive of tbe office and engine room cost of the building will be $12000" machinery has been contracted to be built at Patterson will consist of looms of 200 spindles and other necessary machinery the whole to exclusive of boilersand engine $30000 The latter will be built in Detroit and are al ready well under way 1 The whole is designed to be in operation by the middle of ebruary This establishment will givfi employment to fifty handsand will turn out daily 1000 linen bags' besides 500 pounds of cordage or coarse twine Crash towelling and coarse linen goods will'alsO be manufactured1 7 7 iiss? It is designed at no distant day if the com pany prospers as there is every reason to be lieve it will to extend this establishment into an extensive factory of linen goods in tbe finest quality shall be madeas well as the coarsest and equally necessary A considerable quantity of material has been already secured with which to commence operations It came mainly from Canada although a small quantity was imported from the State of New York The erection of this ex tefinlve establishment in ou cUy id eal 1 the attention of the farmers of the surrounding country to tbe subject of raising flax a pursuit ot agriculture which has heretofore been neglected in" this State" The demand for the flax will doubtless shortly bo succeeded by a demand for the seed Al ready we understand oil mills are projected and it is i more than likely that some one of the projects will be carnea into Of manufacturing establishments similar to one now under consideration there are but three or four tnithc country all in the Eastern States except one in Ohio The enterprising younsr capitalists' who will be readily recog nized from the names above giyen have there a 7 fair field and will doubtless prosper as they deserve We are 'gratified to observe that there is an element gradually making itself known here which will surely redeem Detroit from thef' odium which many are disposed to cast upon her whether justly ro not of being If the old citizens who have thriven and grown rich here are dis posed to lock up their capital to tbe detriment of the best interests of our city we can bear with them' patiently'as possible for little while for they must surely pass away and the young rising men representing the spirit of our age and country shall make our city what her commercial position and manufacturing fid vantages entitle her to be AVe have frequently alluded to' the importance 'of manufactures as 'an element of wealth and strength in building up a city 1 hat importance cannot be placed too often or too glowingly before the eyes of our people Commerce has reared some splen did cities in America but ft should not be for gotten that manufactures have done their full share just as well If commerce can claim NewYork Chicsgo New Orleans and San ran cisco manufactures claim the share of building up Boston Philadelphia Cincinnati Baltimore and Pittsburg and the entire credit of such tofcns as LowellLawrence Manchester HTrov AVilmini'ton Del etc Indeed if the manufactures were taken away from New York the chief emporium of commerce the city would be so much reduced as hardly to know itself i Manufacturers undoubtedly support a much larger' population than commerce and give a greater strength to the whole community" In advocating them we ask our people to do that which will expand our city into an immensemetropolitan centre of population and business Tn' such a movement as this every' class of the community Is directly interested It gives the farmer a better home market for his producethe tradesman An Increased demands for his goods the real estate owner an return on his investment tbe building trades a con stant employ men t' and' in ail kinds of civilized craftsmen the means not only of mak ing a good living and accumulating a compe tence Isut of rearing up splendid fortunes 1 Space at time does not permit us to enlarge 'uponi this topic Its importance demands 1 the careful attention of every man of means in our city We chronicle pleasure the prospect of the early coinmeneemsnt' of operations by the company above referred to and trust they will meet

Springs and Petrolia wells are going down by the score and all that have bored over four hundred feet into the rock are doing well 'At Petrolia a (lint Mich) company have five wells two flowing and three pumping they sold 1000 barrels last week The Star Com pany of Connecticut arc working two wells and doing well Ward AVattie have two flow ing wells that produce live barrels per day each but would yield ten if pumped Tbe airbanks Company have two flowing and one boring Dunn a good one Morrison riflin of Berrien county and Doctor Terry of Jack son county Mich are boring on good territory and are sure to strike Mr Webster a Hartford man is a mile fur ther north aud a well is down to a slioeo of oil at AVyoming four miles from any land before (developed At Oil Springs the wells are too numerous to mention but I will mention the Gray well and the Bruce well as the two best perhaps at Oil Springs They yield from forty to seventy live barrels per day ri our years since oil was first discovered in Enniskillen township where the village of Oil Springs is situated and at Petrolia in the same township At about tbe same time at Oil Springs they dug an immense number of wells to the rock (from 50 to 80 feet) and nearly all were flowing wells One of them flowed over 10000 ban els of oil and it was all wasted as they had no tanks to save it in Others were in tbe same condition in regard to tanks and they (the Canadians) knew but little about oil so they let it run Oil could then be bought here for 10 cents per barrel consequently it did not pay and for three years past you could purchase oil lands at very low prices In ebruary 1865 a new set of men com menced working the old wells and boring for new ones They have got larger and better engines and bored deeper in the rock and the result is land is worth from 100 to 1000 per more than it was one year ago At this time the rush seems to increase daily of men after oil lands but there is enough for all yet 7 7: SAN

workingmen at the City Hall last evening was respectably attended the hall being comfortably filled The meeting was culled as announced for the purpose of ratifying the Eight Hour nominations made by tbe AVard Committees appointed under tbe auspices of the Eight Hour League The meet ing was called to order by the appointment of David Kennedy as Chairman and IL Marsh as Secretary 1 The Chairman stated that the sheeting had been called to consider the report of the com mittee appointed to wait upon and ascertain the views of the canJidates Tor the Mayoralty He called upon the chairman of said Cotomit tee Mr A Sullivan to read the report Mr Sullivan read a detailed report of the ac tion of the committee which Is in substajpee that they had waited upon Mills Esq and Bridge Esq to ascertain thetr views in reference to the eiglithour movement and that the following questions were put to each: 1st AVhat are your opinions in reference to the action ofthe woikingucn ot Detroit in at te tn ptin sr to assume control of the poll tical af fairs of the city? 2nd Are you in favor of the enactment of a law which will make eight hours a legal 4 3rd Since when have you concluded that such a lawwoulu le proper or that the poorer classes were overtoiled? i 4th Do you on your honor as a gentleman assure us that your answers to our questions are' dictated by conscientious beliefs convictions and motives that you do not pretend more sympathy than you really have for the eight hour movement and tbe working men for the purpose of becoming popular and gaining capital at the coming election 4 5th Should any action be taken in the Com mon Council in reference to) hour movement and should you be dected Mayor will you give ail the support ill your power compatible with your position to said action 6th Do you pledge yourself to support such action even though it with and was exclusively supported by your political op ponents and even the questions' were used as a test of partisan strength by your opponents 7th Are you willing to liave your name placed at the head of the Eight Hour Ticket? 8tb To your answers and pledges to thefore going questions will you please place your sig To these questions Mr Miljs replicd appro priately and affirmatively stating that he1 knew the burthens of labor He said he was a workingman himself Our fathers made this a workingman's country they iivdto laborthat dignity which constitutes the true American gentleman They legislated for the masses not for the privileged few The workingmen hail his fullest sympathiesj tnd anything that will promote their true interests he would al ways encourage io Mr Bridge bad also replied something in the camo win Ik denied havine taken uart with the employers against 'the in5 the case of the late strike The com mittee however said that there were rumors to the contrary very generally circulated recommended that in ease the Convention did not consider it politic to nominate an independ ent eight hour candidate (which they did not for the reason that their ranks were divided inasmuch that so many of them were already pledged to the several candidates on the city tickets) that no action be taken in reference to the city ticket because both candidates for Mayor were pledged both in word and in honor as also in writing (to give any' support they may be asked to the eight hour movement1 The report was accepted and adopted as the sense of the meeting 7 Hon Logan Chipman being loudly called upon made some general converse tional remarks He said 7 he had been pleased by tbe indications of the' signs of the times The report read was significant of the improvement made in favor of the eight hour movement It has come to this that both its prominent candidates on the ticket felt it neces sary to say that they were with them and would regard their interests It was a cheering Indi cation and shows the power which should have been used years ago Like the coon which Capt Scott went in search of both candidates had come down without a shot being fired It has the elements which would make itself re cognized above £11 parties Observe the press es Which were springing up all over the coun try advocating its cause And again look at our city candidates for office Every one was a candidate and swallowed their pledges whole But they must hot Mugh fit this He believed both candidates for the May oralty were sincere and so were he others There was now a new element in politics which should have been used 7 in the past It was not simplylthe eight hour system but embraced the matter of yvages By organization they could control the wages fThey also wanted lienlayrs to pre vent the occurrence of such things as had come under his notice where several men who hod a chance to improve their condition were refused their wages if they left They wantwl lien laws by which these rights should be protect ed laws by which labor must be paid flrat under all circumstance' "Andagaiu they wanted something to say about taxation which would put the lightest burden on labor and place it on property Have as few licenses on brains and muscle as possible "so that it will not trammel the work man' There was 'still another view perfectly enormous in its weight He' alluded to ''the extinction of slavery by the war Heretofore there had been a repugnance for free white labor Ilf' the field with the black' Bat' now this open to the battalions of Northern labor and they must see that it is kept open to enjoy the fruits among themselves and theira He could see that the free white labor of the North must have that country for itself He was glad to see that 'they had taken' such action in the elections It was a rigid test and brought the candidates up to the rack fodder or no fodder' They must either fall into the ranks to make this a country or take the other side and go for capital at all hazards But they must take this matter in hand themselves and see to it He did not expect the movement to stay where it is He expected tot see a party in the country with principles based upon ideas that labor is the foundation of Ml nationality and greatness These sentiments he believed would be embodied by a great political party Capital he said can take care of itself Give him a million and he care for legis lation But it was notsv with labor The? tendency of money is to get power and when gained use for self aggrandizement Let them take care of labor It should be the first middle and last sentiment in every statesman and creeds will find that it will' embrace the whole country Even though they might hedge their ranks with a wall ofi fire politicians would get through even though they lost their lives in the Even the' daily papers were looking sweetly at them and any party or politician who opposed them was ti nolitioal death He remembered his pledge to stand by them and fight it out on that' line if it took all summers of his life but he believed the cause would be triumphant within the next five years Becker followed in few rather dis jointed remarks He pitched into the Boards of Trade on general principles and raid that our markets were now so glutted from over work that workmen could not get proper re muneration for their long hours of labor 1 Hef denounced goose quill popularity and power which had led armies and placed men in power where workingmen ought to be Tbe Chairman Mr Kennedy 9 expressed bu gratification at the action taken by the work ing men in the present political contest Men were wedded to their political idols Even the smallest office had its seekers and these were the worst enemies of the movement He re viewed the action of the Legislature in connec tion with the lien law petitioned for and alsp the more recent one relative
