I must first tell you what the Michigan is. She is THE NAVY OF THE NORTHWEST, being the only navy vessel on the great takes, and 4 fine litile craft she is. Built at Pittsburg in ISH, she was sent by sections through the canal to Erie, Pa., and there put together. She 18 @ third-rate paddle, eight guns, 450 tons, ana bas a complement of 133 men, including a tine baud. James H. Gillis is her commander. The Michigan is now on her annual summer cruise, making a tour of the lakes and visiting the sev- eral cities and places of interest within her reach. Arriying AT CHICAGO on the 2th of July, she remained in port a week, during which time courtesies were ex- changed with the citizens, many of whom vis- ited the ship, where they were politely received and handsomely entertained by the officers. Among the ladies who-came aboard I noticed the charming wite of Gen.

Tbe grand boulevards of Chicago are dotted with notices “for rent” or ‘+for sale,’ ile the suburbs of Milwaukee are lined with e princely residences of weaithy owners. among the most elegant of which we noticed the home of Congressman Mitchell, the railroad king of the northwest. The citizens of Milwau- kee, like those of Chicago, were cordial in their hospitality, but as the skip remained only a sin- gle day in their port, there was but little oppor- tunity for an exchange of courtesies. Many ot the leading citizens came on board and were handsomely entertained by the officers. Among the visitors I noticed representatives from the offices of the News aud Sentinel, who politely placed at our disposal their !ist of exchanges Leaving Milwaukee at 4 o'clock last evening, Captatn Wm. Hinton, the jolly old pilot who hae been in the United States rervice on the lakee for twenty-seven years, healed our steamer “north three pomts east,” in nautical lauguage.

He said nothing but water. Aaron then said: “Let the fight goon.” Newell said he could see that Edwards had Groissett prepa- ration, which among sporting men is dreaded as likely to blind an oppouent. The referee said nothing, but told the men to fighton. Coll yer’s seconds refused to allow him to proceed. Just then a terrible uproar occurred, which had been brewing in the last moment or two. Strange men broke into the ring, when Coll yer’s seconds appealed tothe referee. Edwards Seconds insisted that time had been called, and that the stakes be given to Edwards or that the ght proceed. The referee then firmly an nonnced that he had called time for them to fight. Collyer’s seconds refused to fight any fur- ther, and left the question to the decision of the referee. The fight lasted twenty-tive minates. Edwards has met Collyer in the ropad arena twice before, defeating him each time, only after stubborn fights. Collyer bates his deteats to the fact that he was ob to over- train himeeif to get his weight down to the terms of agreement. The War iu Arkansas, A THREATENING STATE UF AFFAIRS.

Two witnesses were examined, a gentiema: committee hazarded the opin- ion that it would not be made public until inted with the full report of the committee. iton was in his house in Remsen street ali the eventng, but refused audience to every visi- tor. Although MOULTON’S AUTHORIZED STATEMENT has not yet been given tothe public through the press, yesterday afternoon's Brooklya Eagle says that it is unexpectedly brief, mak- ing not more than five or six fuoiscap . not closely written. Moulton says in substance that allhe knows about the dificulty between Mr. Beecher and Mr. Tilton was entrusted to him in confidence, with all the documents he has been furnished relating directly or indirectly to the case, and that these documents were entrusted to him in confidence. He says that he has known Tilton smce 1857, and that he became personally acquainted with Beecher in 18) and mainly through this case. Notwithstand ing the fact that he has the consent of both Beecber and Tilton to tell all he knows about the case, and to furnish all documents be has in relation to it, and the additional fact that he has been twice summoned before the oo: mittee, bo says that he cannot in coa- science, and as a man of honor disclose the confidences which have been placed in him. He came into the case as a peacemaker, to set- tle it, and all that he bas done has been done in that direction. Without his knowledge and ainst his wishes cer‘ain docaments connected ith the case have been published, mainly a Tilton, and in bis statement mae be- fore the committee. So many of the nal documents as he has copies of, and which have been made public, he teels under obligations to place in the hands of the committee sary. Moulton had had copies of documents made, and he handed these docu- ments to the committee, holding himself ready to produce the originals when the committe desired to verify them. Beyond this Moalton was not willing to make any statement, nor did he feel himself justified in honor or in con- ecience in ——— go documents save those quoted by Tilton in his statement. Mouiton handed the committee his statement and copies of the documents quoted in Tiltou’s communi- cation. NO COMPROMISE POSSIRLE. The N. Y. Tribune ot yesterday says: Mr. Sage, chairman of the Plymouth commictee of inquiry, eaid yesterday, in answer to questions about Teported conferences of personsin Brook- lyn, desirous of bringing to an_ end the contro- versies between Mr. Tilton and Mr. Beecher by 4 compromise or settlement, that no true friend of Mr. Beecher would take part in any attempt at compromise or settlement, and that no one connected with the commutiee, nor any one of Mr. Beecher’s trusted advisers, had advised any attempt of that kind or aided tt, and, so far as he knew, no consultations with the object of compromise had taken place. Nothing would rouse more indignation among Mr. Beecher's true friends. John L. Hill, of counsel for the committee, made a similar statement. These two gentlemen also agreed in asserting that Gen. Butler’s advice or aid had not been sought or received recently by the committee or by Mr. Beecher’s trusted friends, as certain flying Tumors represent. ‘The Tribune says editorially : E SKELETON IN THE BEECHER CLOS8T has at last been fairly forced to the light; and certainly it is grisly enough to explain some ot € mysterious features of Mr. Beecher’s con duct. “One of his sisters appears in the light of a convert to free love doctrines, a devotee of Mrs. Woodhull, an abrolute believer in that person’s stories against her brother, and bitterly Teeolved to force him to further't confessing! Dr. Edward Beecher her on the subject is published, and It makes as ng @ revelation as has been seen for aday. It has long been hinted that the warfare on Mr. Beecher bad its origin in the anger of a free love wing of the woman suffrage party in New York; but few really believed that his own sister could be the instrument <peciall) hvsen for his torture. The woman seams to have really supposed that the pastor of Piy mouth church was guilty of criminal intimacy h one of his parishioners, that he could con- fess it to her before the congregation in some trical fashion, in which she had devised a le fe if, and that then he iff amounts to nothing as pro: but it does suggest the propri g further tuquiries into allegod te Tilton family.

A sentry was posted on the ter ath orders to watch the p isoner’s every move- ment. Sunday evening the Marshal walked apon the terrace with Col. Villette, his aide- ie-camp. Atl o'clock he retired as usual, apparently to sleep, but before daybreak he had ettected hisescape. Me must have crossed the terrace in the dead of night, and eluding the sentinel gained the edge of ‘the precipice, and thence by means of a knotted rope descended othe sea.

They received him as he reached the water, and Madame Le Marechal! ——. the oars herself, rowed directly to a strange steam- er, which had been lying off the island «ince the previous evening. They reached the veesel sn safety, were taken on board and the steamer then putto sea. It is thought that they have landed at Geneva, as the steamer proceeded in “that direction. The first news of the a‘tair came to Grasse, the nearest place on the coast, and the strates of the town immediately sent officers in every direction to search fur the re. There was great commotion in Mar- seilles when the face became know: in- vestigation was opened. Colonel V: , who was walking with the Marshal onthe evening of bis escape, was discovered there and i: risoned. commandant of the fort of St. arquerite was placed under arrest, and Gen- eral Leweill has gone to the island to investi- gate the affair. it is reported that the Marshal landed at San Remo, and traveled via Turin to Balse. At the iatter place he took a train to Brassels, where he arrived at 7 o'clock on Tuesiay morning. Itw believed in Paris that the rope foun the cliff at the Isle of St. Marguerite was sas- pended there to mislead! the authorities as to the manner of the Marshal's escape, which was effected in some other way through the con nivance of the guard. Le Saine states that Bazaine had given his parole not to leave t uland. Precautions were consequently r laxed. The sentry was withdrawn from the ter- race every morning at five o'clock, it being considered uunecessary to keep him there after daylight. Two soldiers belon; to the gar- rison of the fort swear that hey saw the Mar shal on the terrace at half-p: five Monday morning.
