tEbt Gran Uaktn JJttos. Crand Haven Michigan WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 13, 1863. Don't Let us Despair. Though the bright hopes which caused tho eve of the cation to brighten with tho liveliest emotions of patriotic enthusiasm, and its heart to bound with brightest anticipations of good when tho news of Gen.

Hooker's onslaught on tho encrav across tho llnppahannoc was heralded so gloriously through every town, village and city of loyalty have been sadly and suddenly dashed to earth, lot us not dospair. "We havo another forcible illustration of tho truth, that wo havo to contend with no insignificant enemy, lie is American, possesses American courage, American zeal, American endurance, and American liko will never givo op the contest till overpowered by superior forces and greater advantages, and then only after a most determined resistance. But tho ship must not bo given up though apparently on her boams ends. Sho must bo right ed and trimmed for a continuance of her national voyago. Nothing but tho most determined resolution on tho part of tho Government to prosccuto tho war with all tho power and resources of tho nation at hand, in men and monoy, can now savo us from annihilation as a nation.

Let tho work bo entered upon heartily. Let tho nation bo saved at any and every cost. It is worth tho sacrifico required. By tho latost report wo aro informed that Gen. Hooker has ro-crosscd tho Rap-pahannoc and is pressing upon tho heels pf Gen.

Loo's army. It may bo or may not bo so. Tho flaunting dispatches of tho capture of. Richmond by Gen. Keyes turns out to bo wholly untrue.

Deception and trcacherv, corruption and imbecility aro prevalent in every department of a Gov racnt that pormits so baso use of tho telegraph which is wholly under its con trol. Comixq. Under tho Homestead Bill, wo understand, tho rich farming lands to tho north of us aro being rapidly settled. Emigrants seeking homes aro coming in at tho rate of fifty or moro weekly, and preparations aro already being made in tho vicinity of tho Clay Banks, and at Stony Creek, to erect flouring and lumber mills, and tho young man that purchased ''Aio first certificate at tho Ionia Laud Office, under tho Homestead Act, passed down last week, with tho dosign of commencing his improvrnents. Tho limo is not distant when a rich harvest of agricultural products will bo scut abroad from our Dorthoren counties, uow wilderness.

Costly. -Tho War Committee's Report, when completed, will make, threo hundred solid pages, document sizo. The Government Printing Office will bo employed on it till tho middlo of May or Juno next. This volnminous and amazingly expensive work is purposely designed for tho complete overthrow of General McClellan and tho support and perpetuation of a crumbling, wicked political organization abolitionism. Tho blood-letter, Chandlor, of Michigan, is chairman of tho Committee.

Internal Revenue Decisions. Tho Commissioner of Internal Rcvcnuo decides: If a mortgagee or his agent sell at auction they aro required to tako out a license. Sheriffs' deeds on salo of real estato rcquiro a stamp. Merchants and dealers aro to bo taxed on their nctt income, after deducting expenses for rent, clerk hiro and such debts as may havo been actually lost. Debts lost, or ascertained to bo lost, eince tho 31st December, 1802, aro not to bo doductod from this year's assessment.

Frovost Marshals. Assistant Provost Marshal Generals, soon to bo appointed, aro to rcsido at each Stato capital, and aro to bo officers of tho army do-tailed for that purpose, usually of tho rank of Major or Lieut. Colonel. How to be Assessed. Tho Incomo Tax will bo assessed du ring tho present month May.

All taxes assessed by tho Stato, and taxes of a local naturo, will bo deducted from each person's income. Salaries of officers or employes of government, hen three per cent has been deducted by disbursing officer. Interest or dividends on stock, capital or deposits in banks or in corporatod companies of various kinds, from which three per cent has already been deducted by its officers.

Also tho sum of six hundred dollars when no deductions therefrom havo been previously made. Tho amount actually paid for tho rent of any dwelling house or estato which is tho rcsidenco of tho person assessed. Tho amount paid by any farmer or planter for hired labor and necessary repairs upon his farm or plantation, including tho subsistence of tho laborers. Persons receiving rent may deduct thcro-from tho amount paid for nccossary ro-pairs, insurance and interest on incumbrances upon such rented property.

Tho tax must bo levied on all dividends doclarod prior to Sept. 1, 18G2, and on tho six hundred dollars of tho salaries of all local officers, and those in tho civil, military or othor servico of tho United States, for servico rendered prior to that date, as such dividends and proportion of salaries were not subject to deduction or assessment. Farm produce on hand on on tho 31st day of December, 1802, must bo appraised at its market valuo on that dav. Large Transaction. Messrs.

Ferry and Thompson, who have purchased several hundred acres of pine lands belonging to tho Barber Estate, situated in Ravenna, near Crockery Creek, aro making arrangements on a gigantic scale for stripping tho same. A largo boarding-house, a storo and blacksmith shop aro to bo erected, and men by tho scores and teams of no insignificant number to bo employed. The present high prices of lumber are stirring up our lumbermen to most vigorous exertions in every direction. The Red White and Green. Ono of tho fairest scones in naturo is now visible on every hand.

Tho pleasing blend ing of tho full pink and whito blossoms of tho peach, pear, plum and cherry, peering out from amid rapidly expanding green leaves, forms a charming panorama for tho cyo to dwell upon. Old forest, too, is waking from his long winter's slumbor and donning his new robo of green. Surely we live now amid perfect beauty, such as God alono has power to create Increase in travel. Since tho approach of our unusually fino spring weather, travel has recoived a fresh impotus. Wo notice the trains on tho D.

fc M. Railway exhibit a constantly increasing num- bor of passengers. Indications warrant an encouraging increase of rovenuo to tho various Railway Companies, East and West, during tho present soason of travel, and extensive preparations aro making on all bides to meet tho public wants. Ottawa County Official Canvass. Our worthy County Clerk, Peter Van don Berg, furnished us the following official statement of the County Canvass in due season, which wo should havo inserted at an earlier period: For Asssociate Justice of tho Supreme Court: Johnson, 1268 Campbell, 1036 For Circuit Judgo of the Ninth Judicial Circuit: Littlejohn, 1280 Cornwoll, 1018 For Rcgonts Comstock, Moore, Pitcher, Balch, Richmond, Roof, Burt, Coulter, of tho 1270 1208 1286 1208 1208 1207 1270 1208 University Knight, Gilbert, Walker, Johnson, Wiliard, Sweezoy, Swectscr, Joslin, 1034 1035 1018 1036 1035 1035 1035 1030 The weather of lato has been exceedingly propitious for farm operations.

Large quantities of wheat and other grains aro now being committed to tho bosom of mother earth by our farmers, confidently hoping for a rich harvest therefrom in duo timo. Attention is now being turned to planting operations. Indications assuro us that a larger breadth of land than usual will bo cultivated by our agriculturists during tho season for farm operations already inaugeratcd so auspiciously. Teacuers. The number of teachers in attendauco at the six State Teachers' Institutes, that formed tho spring series, now just closed, is estimated at ono thousand and twelve a higher number than has ever before been in attendance.

This speaks well for tho educational interests of tho State. First Medal of Honor. The first medal of honor, under a recent act of Congress, to merritorious soldiers, was presented by tho Secretary of War to Jacob Parrot, a boy belonging to the 33d Ohio. He was ono of tho brave littlo band sent out by Gen. Mitchell to destroy railroad bridgos.

Twenty of his companions have been similarly rewarded. Michigan Ahead. In apportioning tho draft credit will be given for all recruits furnished, taking threo years men as tho basis. All tho troops from our Stato are threo years men. Now York and New England havo sent many two years and nino months mon to tho war.

So whilo tho draft falls heavily on thoso States it will bo comparatively light on our own. For in tho former one and a half regiments of two years men, and four of nino months men aro only equal to ono of threo years men. Small Change. An Agusta, (Georgia,) newspaper states on authority of a gentlemen just returned from upper North Carolina that ton penny nails aro passing current thoro for small chaugo, at fivo cents each. Tho Lynchburg Republican complains that no such metallic basis for currency exists there, but in lieu thereof grains of corn represent fivo cents, and quids of tobacco represent dimes.

Ice. More than 00,000 tons of ice, it is said, havo been taken from tho Kcnc-bec River, Maine, during tho winter past, destined for tho New Orleans and Havan-na raarkots. A portion of it has been contracted to bo delivered at I ho former city at $25 per ton. Provost Marshals.

Having learned that in some cases, persons with whom wo havo no connection whatover, havo been traveling through tho country representing themselves as our agents, or as selling scales made from Fairbrnks' patterns, Ac, we deem it proper to say that the genuine Fairbanks' scales aro made only at Saint Johnsbury, Vermont, where they havo been made for thirty-threo years or more, by E. T. Fairbanks the original inventors, and that others represented as such are only imitations. If the agents for such other scales have confidence in their merits, they would have no occasion to rosort to such means to sell them, or avail thomselvsof a reputation which the Messrs. Fairbanks have honestly earned.

All onr traveling agents will bo furnished by us with certificates of agency, which they will bo happy to show to purchasers withvhom they may not bo personally acquainted.

213tf. Tub following flattering notice is taken from tho Portsmouth (Ohio) Scivta Valley Republican, vt April 3, 1858: Scandixa via. A friend writes us for our real opinion of Dr. Roback's Scandinavian Remedies, where he can obtain them, and why they are callod Scandinavian," and we are frequently asked the someuestions. Scandinavia is the ancient name of Sweden and Norway, and a Scandinavian, that is, a Swede or Norwegian, affectionately calls his country Scandinavia," in the same sense as we speak of Columbia." Ily the way, there are over nine thousand Scandinavian families in Dane Wisconsin.

Although a citizen of this country for many years, Dr. Roback is a Swede by birth, and componudshis Medicines of Swedish herbs, we think tho name is very appropriate. We have the highest opinion of the Medicines, and of Dr. Roback himself, who is not only a singularly skillful physician, but a gentleman of the Old School, as we know personally. Our advertising columns will answer the rest of our friend's lotter.

L. LYON'S FRENCH PERIODICAL DROPS FOR FEMALES. This valuable medicine is now offered to tho American ladies as tho only sure, positive and never-failing cure and regulator of suppression of naturo, from whatever cause. Particular care should bo used to know that Pregnane is not the cause, as the Drop would surely produce an cflcat entirely contrary to the course of nature, for which I wiil not hold myself responsible I have in my possession letters from the most respectable ladies in this placo, recommending it in tho highest torms, and physicians are advising its use when all other remedies fail. These drops are so mild and pleasant, that the feeblest can take them with perfect security, yet so powerful in their effects, that they may bo safely callod a nevor-failing Regulator.

I have used this medicine for tho last twelve years in my practice, and thereforo well know its merits.
