Western Correspondence. 
Reports of Piping Trawlers — Observations of a 
Sojourner —- Ionia, Afickigan-~~The Maine Law. 
Messrs. Editors:— ‘Among the countless mul¬ 
titude of newspapers now scattered, broad-cast 
over the country, and wending their way to the 
rude log-cabin in the little clearing, as well as 
to the palace within the city’s limits, few in¬ 
deed there are, that do not comprise within 
their matter articles headed “Notes from the 
Far West,” “ Sketches of Travel in the West 
from our own Correspondent,” ifcc., <fcc. Pass¬ 
ing observations on the manners and customs of 
the people, present resources of the country and 
glorious prospects of the future, are mingled 
with beautiful and elegant descriptions of wide¬ 
spread prairie-land, stretching far beyond the 
reach of human ken, with its tall “ grass nod¬ 
ding and waving in the wind”—of the grand, 
primeval forests with their ever varying hues— 
of the clear, sparkling, inland lakes, glittering 
like gems in Nature’s casket and filled with the 
richest flavored of the finny-gens, and of its 
glorious rivers, dotted with the “ white-winged 
messengers of commerce ” flying onward with 
wind-like speed to their destined port. All 
these various communications have everywhere 
found willing readers and doubtleas accomplish 
the object whereunto they were sent. 
Yet, while I would not be understood as 
speaking disparagingly of such, as far as my 
own personal knowledge goes the greater por¬ 
tion have been written (some few with the 
characteristic haste of Young America,) while 
traveling through the country, only on the great 
thoroughfares, and that too, with almost light¬ 
ning speed. Thus it may, be readily seen, that, 
though what has been written, is literally true, 
the “ half has never been told.” It is perhaps 
needless to affirm here, that in order fully to 
judge of the character, manners and customs of 
a people, one must needs settle among them, 
and mingle with them from day to day, which 
will give him an opportunity to behold the va¬ 
rious aspects of every-day life : nor can the ag¬ 
ricultural prospects of a country be better un¬ 
derstood than by him who carefully tests the 
soil, or who, with slow' and steady step visits not 
only city, but humble village, and travels the 
“by-ways” as well as the “high-ways.” I 
long to hear more from such men, as by their 
very circumstances they are best fitted to com¬ 
municate in regard to these interesting topics.— 
-Of this class though I cannot claim to be, yet a 
residence for a few months has not failed to dis¬ 
close new r truths and dissipate preconceived opin¬ 
ions : and such no doubt will be the case w'ith 
all whose opinions have been formed by flying 
reports. And now, by the way—a short de¬ 
scription of the place where I have been spend¬ 
ing a few' months, may not be unwelcome to 
some of the readers of the IIbrax. 
Inoia (if not of ancient celebrity, yet of an¬ 
cient name,) is a quiet, beautiful little village— 
the county seat of Ionia county, Michigan, 
pleasantly located on the north bank of Grand 
River, about eighty miles from its mouth. Like 
all the villages and cities of the west, it is 
stamped with the unmistakable evidences of re¬ 
cent origin and rapid growth. But a few short 
years ago, and here the old forest trees, made 
music to the passing winds, heard only by un¬ 
tutored ears, and the wild deer roamed unscared 
among the dense thickets and grassy glens, ex¬ 
cept when the stealthy step of the red man drove 
Him from his covert. The forest has disappear¬ 
ed like magic, and upon its green roots was 
planted the embryo village — a snug log cabin, 
w'ith its broad, blazing hearth—aud this, in turn 
has given way to the neat white cottage, sur¬ 
rounded w'ith its pretty garden with numerous 
evidences of taste and refinement. At a suitable 
distance on all sides, stands the aged forests like 
sentinels, to guard the inhabitants from the 
piercing wdnds of winter, and the bitter, biting 
cold. Thus and so chary is Nature of all her 
children. The village now' numbers abouteight 
hundred inhabitants, and is rapidly increas¬ 
ing in wealth, enterprise and population. Tho’ 
many new buildings have been recently erected 
and other are in the course of construction—yet 
the demand for vacant houses is much greater 
than the supply, and thus great inconvenience is 
felt by those who have failed to make previous 
arrangements. There is the usual complement 
of dry goods stores, groceries, mechanic shops, 
taverns and grog-shops !— Mo l not a grog-shop 
in all the village —thanks to the Maine law—yet, 
perhaps, it would be no more than just to say, 
that though spirituous liquors are not openly 
sold, still those who have been in the habit of 
using them, know where to find them. Con¬ 
versing a short time since with an old “w'liiskey 
toper,” he assured me there had not been only 
three days in which he had not been supplied 
with the “ needful.” This much I think can be 
said for the good effects of the Maine Law in 
Michigan,— in many places it has destroyed 
that open rioting and drunkenness that would 
not permit the sober man to walk the streets in 
peaee, and still further, it suffers not the quiet 
and sacred stillness of the Holy Sabbath to be 
disturbed by shouts of drunken revellers.— 
Should it eventually accomplish no more, it has 
achieved a glorious triumph. s. a. e. 
Ionia, Michigan, Nov., 1854. 
Ax Infernal Machine. —A leathar valise was 
left in the bar room of the Earle House, New' 
York, Friday morning. About two o’clock, it 
exploded making fearful havoc with furniture, 
tfec., and badly wounding two men. On exam¬ 
ination it appeared that the valise contained a 
small keg of powder, with which a double-bar¬ 
relled pistol w’hh connected by machinery, 
which was set so as to fire the pistol at a partic¬ 
ular hour. It worked as its fiendish inventor 
desired. It is only strange that many others 
were not injured. 
“The Pride or Life.” By Lady Scott, author of “The 
Hen-pecked Husband.” New York : H. Long & Bro. 
With a well-sustained interest, and a good 
moral, this novel will be likely to please the 
lovers of real pathos and genuine humor. Sold 
at Dewey’s. 
The Westminster Review, for October, closes

Tub Arabia arrived at New York Nov. 3. 
A private dispatch from Bucharest, of the 
15th of October, announces the bombardment 
of Sevastopol commenced on the I3th. Two 
hundred pieces of heavy artillery were em¬ 
ployed. Sevastopol was not expected to hold 
out more than three or four days. 
Thirty thousand Russians had crossed the 
Danube into the Dobrudscha; and 12,00(1 Rus¬ 
sians under Uschakoff occupied the Danube 
ferries near Toultseh. 
Reports had again been circulated simulta¬ 
neously in Vienna, Paris and London, of the 
fall of Sevastopol, and large stock operations 
are said to have been made on the faith of the 
statement, but the public were slow to believe. 
Government employees say that serious intelli¬ 
gence must not. be looked for before the begin¬ 
ning of November. 
Odessa accounts of the 8th ult., say that 
Qortschakoff was at that place, and that Mens- 
chikoff, who could not maintain his position at 
Bakshizrai, had sent his army to Sevastopol, 
and gone to Perekop. 
It is said Canrobert has notified the French 
Government that the allies’ position is impreg¬ 
nable, being defended by 80,000 men, with 200 
guns, and could easily be held against 200,000 
Russians. On the 12th an attack was made by 
the Mahmondia Turkish flag-ship of 120 guns, 
and several of the allied ships on Fort Constan¬ 
tine, but it was merely to cover the advance of 
the allies along the landward side of the city. 
In consequence of correspondence found in 
MenschikhofF’s effects, captured at Alma, seve¬ 
ral important arrests have been made at Varna. 
Two small British steamers have been order¬ 
ed to the Sea of Azof to bombard the town of 
Kertch. 
Lord Stratford has succeeded in procuring a 
firman to suppress the trade in "Circassian aud 
Georgian slaves. 
Northern Europe. —A large portion of the 
French fleet had returned to Cherboug. A ru¬ 
mor was current that the Danish government 
had permitted the British fleet to winter at 
Kiel. 
The Journal of St. Petersburg of the 14th 
contains a telegraphic despatch from Vienna, 
stating that the Commissioners of the Western 
Powers, and of Austria and Turkey, had met 
at Constantinople to arrange the "question of 
protectorate on the basis of proposals made by 
the Austrian Cabinet. 
The British Parliament is further prorogued 
to the 16th November. The papers publish a 
full list of the private soldiers killed and 
wounded at Alma. 
The national subscription for the sick and 
wounded reached £6000 sterling, and a regi¬ 
ment of women nurses had been ordered to 
Scenkay. 
The court martial of Sir Edward Belcher had 
terminated. In the case.of Capt. McClure and 
the other officers tried, the verdict was that 
they are honorably acquitted, and in each in¬ 
stance their swords were returned with a com¬ 
plimentary remark. In the verdict on Belcher 
the word honorable was omitted, and his sword 
returned in silence. 
France. —Nothing of political intelligence 
from France. 
Spain. —The ministry have abandoned the 
project of drawing up a constitution to be sub¬ 
mitted to the Cortez. 
Latest News, Paris, Friday morning.—The 
Pharamound, arrived at Marseilles, brings ad¬ 
ditional news from Constantinople to the 10th 
and Balaclava to the 9th of October. 
The seige works were covered with entrench 
raents against attacks from without. Prince 
Menschikoff had not made any offensive move¬ 
ment The seige material amounted to 400 
guns. It was thought that a breach would be 
made in forty-eight hours. 
Balaclava was perfectly fortified. Russian 
deserters stated that Prince Menschikoff had 
received no reinforcements. The Prince says 
that the Turkish Ambassador at the Court of 
Vienna, Arik Effendi, had official command from 
the Austrian Cabinet, and that Omer Pasha 
will begin offensive operations against Bessara¬ 
bia shortly, and will arrive at Bucharest in a 
few days, in order to arrange there his plan of 
attack with the imperial genernlissimo. It is 
said that Lord Raglan has called on Omer Pa¬ 
sha to hasten his movements. 
The Moniteur confirms the intelligence of a 
sortie attempted by the garrison of Sevastopol 
aud that they had been repulsed. Large Rus¬ 
sian reinforcements were going to the Crimea 
by forced marches. 
Breadstukfs. —B. C. Keer’s board circular 
says:—Wheat has been in good request, and 
buyers have had to pay an advance of Is. ster¬ 
ling per 70 lbs. on all descriptions. 
Flour has been more sparingly offered. 
BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
Tfiep.e lias been no import of specie during the week. 
The out going steamers, Africa and Washington, have 
taken to Europe $1,049,035, making a sum total for the 
year of about $35,000,000. 
The amount of specie in the United States Treasury sub¬ 
ject to draft on the 25th ult. was $20,048,000. 
There has been a great decrease of imports for the past 
few weeks, compared with those of tho same time last year. 
The Tribune says, the imports of Dry Goods in October, 
thrown on the market, were $2,685,190 against $4,100,149 
same month last year, a decrease of $1,474,959. The ag¬ 
gregate for the year thus far is $74:253,798, against $80,- 
812,806, showing a decrease of $3,440,932. 
livery kind of business is unusually dull and heavy for 
the season, and the money market very stringent. Real 
estate in New York is falling daily, both in fee and rents. 
It is stated that stores which a year ago rented at $8,000, 
now go begging for tenants at one-half that sum. Unless 
there is some letting up of the screws, of which indeed 
there seems to bo little prospect at present, wo may look 
for more heavy failures among business men and specula¬ 
tors. A telegraph dispatch from New York, dated Nov. 
4th, says,—“J acob A. Wkstervelt, our present Mayor, 
failed to-day. His liabilities are very heavy.” 
Stocks are depressed, and may be expected to remain so 
until easier times. New York Central sells at 87, Mich. 
Central do., Erie 44, and others in proportion.

Breadstcffs continue to advance in our market, and 
Flour may be quoted to-day at $10,50. Wheat brings 
readily eighteen shillings, and some lots have been sold 
three cents above that figure. Barley has also again ad¬ 
vanced, and is now worth, delivered at the Breweries in 
this city, $1,12)4 per bushel. Other grains as quoted hist 
week. 
There are no other essential changes, except that hay 
is a dollar on the ton higher, and poultry one cent a pound 
lower than last quotations.

CARLISLE SEMINARY. 
(male and female 0 
Rev. JAMES DOUGLASS, A. M. Principal, 
Assisted by a large corps of able and experienced Teach¬ 
ers, tilling every department of instruction. 
This institution is located at Cai lisle, Schoharie Co., N. 
Y., 30 miles west from Albany, and 12 miles south of Can- 
ajoharie. The buildings are new and of sufficient capacity 
to accommodate over 300 boarders. They are situated 
in the midstofabeautilul grove of some ten acresof ground 
belonging to the Seminary. 
Carlisle is a pleasant, healthy and retired village, and 
contains no hotels, saloons or groceries where intoxicat¬ 
ing liquors are sold, 
INTERNAL ARRANGEMENTS. 
There are six large recitation rooms, six music rooms, a 
commodious chapel, rooms for literary societies, a reading 
room, library, a large and convenient room for Oil Paint¬ 
ing with sky and side tights, bath rooms in connection 
with each department; and five flights of stairs all con¬ 
necting with outside doors and accessible from any part of 
the building, thus affording ample opportunities of escape 
in case of fire. The whole is warmed by furnaces in the 
basement, thus obviating the danger and incoveDience of 
having stoves in the rooms—but at the same time keep an 
equal temperature throughout the halls and rooms. Stu¬ 
dents are never exposed to draughts of cold air, as they are 
not required to go out of the building in passing t<> the 
recitation rooms, chapel or dining hall. The rooms of the 
students vary in size from 10 by 14 feet to 15 by 16 feet, and 
are furnished with a movable regi.-ter in the floor, and also 
with a ventilator, by which means each student may grad¬ 
uate the temperature of his own room at pleasure. ’ In ad¬ 
dition to the above conveniences, the Institution emplovs 
servants to carry water to and from the several halls, trim 
the lamps aud do the extra cleaning of the Students’ rooms. 
' BOARD. 
We intend the board shall be decidedly superior to that 
which is afforded in other boardingschools, thus removing 
the reproach too often, in many cases too justly connected 
with them. 
BOARD OF INSTRUCTION. 
In the selection of Teachers, the Trustees have spared 
neither pains nor expense. Every department of instruc¬ 
tion is filled by Teachers of superior qualifications—experi¬ 
ence and success in their profession. Students completing 
a prescribed graduting course will receive Diplomas. 
DISCIPLINE. 
The studentsof both departments are underthe constant 
supervision of the Principal, Preceptress and Teachers—sit 
at the same table with them, are accompanied by them to 
church and on their excursions, and are instructed con¬ 
cerning the social proprieties as well as the duties and ob¬ 
ligations of life. N o intercourse whatever is permitted be¬ 
tween the two departments except in the public parlor with 
the permission of the Principal and Preceptress. No gen¬ 
tleman is allowed to visit a ladv in her private room.
