Ship titles of ship timber consisting of plank fee now lie incur ship yards and are be- in worked up into elegant ships after having performed a journey of eight to ten hundred miles from tbe forest

Ohio City is tho mover in this enterprise and is reaping the re- ward of his sagacity A railroad having boen built from Monroe Michigan at the western extremity of Lake Erie into the interior of that State he distributes through ars describing the size and quality of tbe sticks desired and they are soon forthcoming and com- mence their journey towards the rising sun The woodmen engaged in tho business of pre- paring this timber are just beginning to know what is wanted of them produced is of an excellent quality Wo clip tho foregoing from the New York Courier and Enquirer If the General ment would some of the national yards in the West as it ought to do there would bo no necessity that ship timber should perform a journey of eight to ten hundred in der that it might be worked up into ships On the Ohio and Mississippi rivers on lakes Erie and Michigan are workmen as skillful as any to bo found along the Atlantic coast And here we have the food as well as tho timber and the hemp for cordage and canvass and the iron for bolts and rings and every else that en- ters into tho building of a ship much moro cheap and accessible than they arc at any of tbe yards of the Atlantic States Why do not Western members of Congress bear those things more generally in mind and once in a while pause in their eternal slavery and anti-slavery debates to urge them upon tho tion of The of UiO vest have the timber for shopping the mines of tho West contain tho coal and iron tho fields of the West produce the we have the food hero too in quantities and at prices such as no other portion the country can show and if we have not the men it is much easier and much cheaper and much more sensible to bring them to all this raw material and this food than to be ing raw material and food from eight to ten hundred miles to them There must ere long be a reckoning as ro- garda this and some kindred and for the economy ofthe Nation as well as for the cial interest of tho West it cannot como
