Lying upon the chart like a branch of magnolia leaves, the gracefully-bending --Superior, the downward -Alichigan,_and. the resilient Huron, draw together at this narrow stem. The white walls of Duluth curve like an edge of hoar-frost upon the ex -11624 of Lake Superior, while. Chicago de fines the lower bend of Lake Michigan. Argo 'sies carding the trade from these two ports, distant as they are, approach and join at' the head of Lake Huron. The inlets hereabouts are the keys of the position., so far as aquatic commerce is concerned ; here the ice must melt to unlock the channel for the more south erly port of Chicago, as well as for' 'the . colder one= of . - tourniquet - applied to this course of naftation is at the artery of Nlagara. .Froe of 'this, the keel's, of the Lake cominerce -.have :before them the liberties of. Saint Lawrence river and the Atlantic Ocean. The neighboring Straits of Mackinaw and the 'Sault rid themselves of ice at a period early in May, and within four or five days of _each other,_releasing_shriultaneouslYthe tides of. Lakes Michigan and Huron. The northern most of these, the isolated and savage narrows. of Sault Sainte-Marie, were, attained by our . , . _ "*party . cur Tuesday, - Airgust - 16th. • Cn the morning of that day I was watch ing from the topmast of the Winslow our Approach to the Sault, - along a dilation in the connecting estuary, known by the name of Lake St. George. This expansion was by no Means inferior in natural beauty to its namesake at the foot of Champlain, and had under a sunny sky all the imaginable charms proper to that sort of lake scenery which is compassable by the eye, and where a-horizon of folding and opening hills locks in all around a glistening vale of sheeted waters. About midday our good boat rested against the easterly lock of the canal which .has been constructed to regulate for navigation the descent -of the Sault. This Canal, as the.practical outlet of Lake Superior, is a piece of construction immensely important.. It has been built by the State of Michigan at a cost of _51,200,000, defrayed by a donation of land. from government. it should now be re- . claimed by the United_ States 4 .,and its advan . _opened free to the merchants of the country for the eve opmeut of the natuW.i.l commerce. It is a mile, or, accurately, 5,260 feet in. length; in that distance it-makes a fall of twenty feet, represented to the eye by the precipitancy of the Sault or rapids, which foaM and fret among their islets just alongside. It seemed solidly and well built, and was, wide enough to allow our steamer to pass easily a large schooner, creeping through with a heavy iron cargo. It is not, however, deep enough at present for the 'anticipated commerce of the...lakes, and the half-dozen 1,200-ton propellors of the Evans line now building, will require an additional depth of two feet of water to lift them when fully charged. The money necessary to improve the canal will be easily forthcoming when the , trade is secured and established. The locks , are long enough from gate to gate to accommo date vessels very considerably greater in length than the Winslow, and are strong and good. , The sides are lined with dressed stone, whose courses were visible through the excessively clear water of Lake Superior almost to the bottom. These sides, bowever, instead of having a perpendicular cut, are unfortunately basin-shaped, unnecessarily narrowing the channel ; and the stones are not faced. An oc casional projecting fang of stone has more than once proved fatal to the passing vessel, a proof of which was visible before our eyes. The wrecked propeller Ontonagon, Captain McKay, was lying sunk miles away in the offing of Lake Superior. She had just threaded the canal, receiving when almost through a sly Wound in the side from the sharp mason work. The captain was unaware of the disas ter at the time, and much of the cargo, a live one of sheep and cattle, was lost. They were bringing the animals down in lighters to the village of Sault Sainte-Marie, and a boat loaded with dead and living sheep was discharging in the canal. A rude throng of ' Indians - and half-breedS were guiding the hock into a fold adjacmit, the boys indulging in spasms of tin-Indian hilarity, as the creatures jumpedithout in the most awk ward ecstasy when released from their close confinemeht. The red men called off their dogs in French, saying, "Marche !" and " ea ten." The cattle had fared better, having all been delivered alive; one brave Ida Lewis of a heifer, undertaking her own salvation, had left the foundering steamer, struck ,out into the rapids outside the canal—whose safe navi gation is the great triumph of Indian seaman ship—and landed a mile below, a little melan choly, but sound in her members. Somewhat excessive rates are now charged by the State for the use of this canal ; the toll is six cents a ton, custom-house measure. Our steamer will have paid $l5O 50 ; or $OB 25 and $lO tonnage each way for her outward passage and intended return. The schooner we passed in the locks paid $l3 each way. The earnings of'' the construction, of course, do not yet pay the interest of the cost, but tolls, amounting to 331,009 :were takenlast year, and the receipts, this year are so far'more than double. I. fancy I should use the pinion of some lonely water-bird to describe so shy a place as the __neighborhood_ Sault ..Sainte-Marie. How ,Istwge . it', seemed to our holiday party to re flect that this village through which we strolled so' familiarly .is ice-locked for five months so hermpticallythat its inhabitants must , walls Five:Mis,dred iu any:::direttlen • Whatever, to read, a public Convesano;,WhiCh Should early them to any centre oil civilization • r lllabitants are largely Indian.. The . =SW= neighbors are' the bear, the deer, the • fox,the thins, lynx, marten, Esher, - otter, beaver, - rac coon and 'skunk, all whose pelts are, .tanned with neatness by the squaws. --- Peer - 0* freely up to.the tovin In the cold season; and 411 shot itt,,,numberi by the ChippowaySOf! the Vi laity, Who save the skins, with thoSe or the dafipled fawirs,for their siniple commerce: The savages; some•pure red, and more w.rill skins la'reely‘Frenebified; make thrilaizaroni of 4 1 region. Their low bark huts forme a little town upon the narrow strip between the the rapids and canal, and the idlers poured out to gaze in stolid wonder at our boat passing through the giant valves of .the lock. The women have considerable industry, and we 'found them in !the hovels pursuing their embroideries, or ministering to the rigid papooses strapped upon ;boards and Wound around in'cocoons of old :rags, whencethey looked out like caterpillars ;with beaded eyes. One wafer-colored lady was singing a 'heart-breaking-monody to such a child, while stitching a French motto in porcupine-quills upon the side of a handsome toy birch canoe four feet long. The more serious ship-carpentry of the natives was going on outside. .The tool-shop was a wagon-vault of sewn birch-bark, arched upon poles. This pale dome among the bushes, Sheltering a grindstone and some simple teas, and fronted by a kettle of - pitch' slung - over some ashes from three saplings tied above, made a sketchy and pretty "bit" for an_ artist; : The, long ashen. Wes. which .strengthen the-sides or, form the thwrirts; were being bent to shape under pressure by a very simple open-air contrivance. Two or three canoes were drawn up close by, tx.:'coniplete the'pietrire. ' Orie new one; white, and shapely, with a finish more like saddler's , work than carpentry; attracted our adimration as it turned up its fair silver - stomach'. to • the sun, like a captured salmon of the lakes. Shooting the Rapids. _ Of course some of us shot the Sault. This giddY,Operation, though dependant upon the eaprice_of a 'worthleSsfsavage, is perhapS always safe, sinceile --savage is in. one's boat; yet is not;to-be recommended to very nervous persons. We agreed with the cleier vagabonds at the rate of half-a-dollar per paSsenger, and,. while a dark lad promptly chipped the neces 7 sary poles into shape, stood contemplating the hoarse and toiling waters to whose care we meant to commit our precious anatomies. The Sault Sainte-Marie, or Virgin Mary's Leap, is a rushing river very suggestive of the rapids above Niagara , Falls, though the wave-forms are much lower, and the islets which carres pond to the Sisters and Goat Island are smaller. The swinging breakers, ; from which eriferge stiff little bouquets of evergreen forest, are.like Niagara, and like nothing else that I have seen, and it is impossible to avoid the - apprehension - that - "drifting too far down stream would be equivalent to a_plunge into the ilomeslice. The canoes held six persons. Our Indian gondoliers did uot,as was usual for- merly,exact the drawing of the boots to preserve the frail integrity of the poor bark bag ; but we' lied to crouch -or squat with iiitieh loss of ignityln - 41 - f lnt roltomi - and --- trin - r -- carefall with our hands on the sides. This position A we assumed when the boy.with his impromptu stick, and his brother with its fellow, had poled themselves alone, standing fore and aft, up . stream, to the place where we awaited them, reversing the rod very curiously at each probe into the strong torrent. Then we embarked; four Philadelphia Christians between two des picable pagan pariahs, whose skill we could not have emulated fur our lives; and rounded gradually, with an accelerating motion ; into the cold, mad precipice of water. Then began a short but memorable sensation: in one sense we hardly seemed to move; for the waves, which we had watched rating from the shore, were now themselves our motion, and formed their advance with us without any apparent ' accent : but below us the white and colored stones of the river bed, globed in the crystal water with great blazes of sunlight, were ' stripped from under our feet like something melted and furiously running; they linked ! into a chain of colors with none of the outlines of stones, vanishing past us with the liquid grace of 'bubbles and with the vibrating speed of a serpent when at full run. Our own sentiment of motion was all confused and faint, until, startled by the branching shadow from some little island, we would look up to see it pulled past us with its coronet of pines, and then--would- Catch a glimpse - of - the still forms of clouds, and of the shore in all its strange rigidity, with the faces and fluttering handkerchiefs of our friends painted on the scene as- it withdrew. Meanwhile Pierre and Jean, with the prize-fighter's smile upon their dark faces, having changed their _poles for paddles, stood at either end like the boatmen of the Adriatic, and shaped the course into a rim that avoided the highest waves, playing among the seams of the woven water. Arches of rainbow spray shot in among US every Miptite, turning heavy as they fell and splashed among our knees; but the canoe easily held all, and the boys emerged carelessly from a - game the loss of which meant mangled death. The sense of time, in the con ; fusion ota,niiwseptimeot, was lost to all of us, and it seemeff at fonee a long and an instant, aneous experience when we reached the edge again, and stepped upon the solid world. Our half-mile, after all, took us four minutes; but it was made with unequal darts of spe<d, and at times must have equalled twenty rules au hour, or even the thirty miles which voyagiatrB declare are often compassed. The village of Sault Sainte-Marie has a thou sand inhabitants, and shares a portion of the summer popularity .of Mackinaw among tour ists. The white-fish of the Lake are taken in large scoop-nets by the Indians, and salted for commerce by dealers. There : is some little trade in them, in the peltry of the savage hunters, and even in the wild raspberries so abundant in the neighborhood. Churchville, and another little settlement which we had passed jusklielow i advertised in-great coarse Ti anheelsigns to the pas Sing boats their com-_ melte in these dainty trifles. The canal of the Sault engages forty or fifty men, including the moccasined half-breeds. Opposite is the British town of -the same name, whose large court house and jail caught • our eye as we floated past, Our • frontier at this points defended by. Fort Brady, :now garrisoned by Col. Oflley with parts of thvti•CoMpanies. Cruising - in these waters and now stopping at the fort: we found the United States war-ship Michigan.

The trade which ' • Cheapens the World's Food, which brings bread nearer to the hungry stranger's band, is that in which interest has most of the attributes of benevolence; We 'were proud and glad to think that we, burst ing into' that silent sea, were come to watch ,the inauguration of enterprises so thire, so great-minded, so_simply . en nobled. We glided into these deeps, now heated and painted with sunset; and felt that the West lay at last directly on our left, and pat Asia on one 'hand 'and Lrurope on the other were 'watching with curious eyes the forging of those bands, linked of iron and ,water..which Were to join, equalize and ,vitalize the world's civilization.. , . , FATAL ACCIDENT ON 11IONT BLANC TWO Persons Lost" in a Crevasse._ , „ The Pall Mall Gazette supplies .fuller details of a tragedy mentioned in this paper a day or • two ago A detailed account of the fatal'aceident_on_i Mont Blanc, -which . Was briefly reported last week; is'published' to-day. The_ writer Says : The party consisted of Mr. 'Macke;_ Mrs. Marke, his wife; a young lady, her friend, and three guides. they left chatnotini on :Monday, the Ist, about mid-day, with two guides, and arrived without accident ! at the Hotel de (.; rands Mulcts at SP. The route was remarkably easy and free from dangers, -and the weather was splendid. Here they slept, and at 3.30 the next merning, having added to their party the third guide, they started on their upward journey. After haying safely traversed the Great and. Little Plateau, they gained, the summit of Le Corri -dor about 10 A. . At this spot, as there was a considerablebreeze, the ladies with one of the guides halted, while Mr. Marko, with the two other guides, went up higher to See if the wea ther would permit them to continue their as cent. They promised to return in 10 or 10 min utes. The ladies beginning to feel the cold, their guide, contrary to the injUnctions.of Mr. Marke and _the express orders of Ida fellow guides, startd - off with - ther7a — o - fi theirA r ei - Cent. They were all three connected by a rope, Mrs. .Marke, unfortunately, at the same time also leaning on the arm of the guide, her friend following a few steps behind. Scarcely had they gone 100 yards when Mrs. Marko and the guide suddenly disappeared into a crevasse, which was covered with a-thin crust of frozen snow. Providentially fair - her friend, the rope . being—rott-erri=b- rokerr - rand- - -shmairrred- 7 -ha - dead with fear, but in safety, close to, the up per edge of the chasm. Mr. Marke and the two guides, hearing cries of distress, rushed down in all baste, and in less than five minutes had reached as near as they could with safety the edge of the crevasse. They looked down and shouted as loud as they could. The silence of the grave was their only answer; instantaneous, but without doubt painless, death had overtaken their compan ions. Notbing.reinained now for the surViv ors but to hurry back to the G rands Mulets and send down to Cha.mouni for assistance as quickly as possible. • In a very short time a party of porters and guides, with everything requisite for the search after the remains of the ill-fated travelers; arrived at the scene of the disaster. The search continued when the weather permitted during the remainder of the week. No pains and no labor were spared; a large reward was offered, but owing to! the situation and formation of the crevasse all their efforts proved unsuccessful. A funeral service was held in the English chapel at Chamouni on Tuesday, the 9th instant, at which a touching adddress was delivered by the Rev. M. Neligan, the chaplain. GENTS' FURNISHING GOODS.

He accepted the trust, through de votion to his country, but he must have the sup port of the Chamber.. In the Senate, yesterday, M. Lariabit, after a communication from the Minister of War, giv ing details of the occupation of the country by the Prussians, said of certain villages and towns, which were invaded and surrendered too quickly,that it was hardly their fault. The tkivertuneut (not, however, the present Cabi net), with a strange lack of forethought had constantly refused to arm the people of Alsace, Lorraine and Champagne, thus betraying a lack of confidence in the people which had cost the country dear, for had these peasants, who are good marksmen, been armed the army of the Crown Prince of Prussia would not have so easily crossed the Vosges, wher our men, hid den from view, could have inflicted such a loss upon them that France would not have been compelled to abandon her second line of defence. PARIS, August 27.—Much excitement has been created by the report that. the France tirallieurs are to be treated as banditti by the Prussians. These soldiers are regularly en rolled and their officers furnished with com missions which are in all respects the same as those conceded to commanderS and . private soldiers in the regular army. It is'declared that in case the-Prussians- persist. in carrying their threats into execution, retaliatory pleas ures will be enforced against the ,Prussian troops. At Strasbourg they have cruelly forced all yotuig men to work In the trenches, and in some cases were threatened with death if they refused. Shots from the ramparts of the besieged city kill the laborers ia the Prussian army, and Frenchmen are thus forced to kill their brethren. Such acts are unworthy of this age. They give a regular idea of Prussian civilization, and only serve to increase French - hatred and augment our determination to punish.- • . .• • • General •Montaign, - who was • wounded, ac cording to the Paris Monitenr, was taken pris over, by the Prussians: BERLIN, Aug. 28.—The disposition of the different German armies is as follows : There are eighteen corps d'armee, containing 40,000 each.: Filt--,Steinmetz has the Ist 7th and Sth Colps at Metz.

A letter from a correspondent at Rheims, dated August says : "It is reported that Ea/Able, with a portion of his army, is be tween Montmedy and Longay, on the Belgian frontier, where be is waiting the arrival of Maciabon." This report is looked upon as doubtful. One of the city journals of this evening has a remarkable edit)rial from which the follow ing is an extract: " Next to the news of the near approach of the Prussians to the walls of Paris, that which occupies public attention is the possibility of a rupture between the gov ernment.and General Trochu." It is reported that the Empress has even de manded the dismissal of General Trochu from his position as'Governor of Paris, but we can nothing positive. It is nevertheless true that - persons. have been permitted to expiess carelessly their opinion that Trochu, in the" presence of the Empress, has been' asked to retire. ,PAins August.2B, via Brussels.—The sieges, of Strasbourg,i Toul, Thionville and Metz have made no progress.
