FORTY WISCONSIN BANKS THROWN OUT. Another bank excitement occurred here yesterday, over tbe throwing out of some forty Wisconsin Banks. We publish the list in the money article, on the fourth page, where will also he found the quar terly report of the Bank Comptroller of that State. It shows the condition of all the Banks of Wisconsin, and is a capital document for all business men to cut out and keep till another is issued, on the first of July. The Tribune has for years past warned the people of the crash that is now upon us. If it results in giving our own State and Wisconsin a sound hanking system, based on specie, the business public will patiently endure their present losses in an ticipation of the better times that are to follow. Let us hereafter have specie pay ing banks or none. We repeat the caution to all our readers not recklessly to sacrifice their money. It all has some positive value, and the most is undoubtedly to be made out of it by holding it till the storm blows over. In all human probabilities it will not last many weeks. GLEAMS OF LIGHT. The reader will find a mass of highly wrought rumors in our telegraph column, all pointing to a vigorous grappling with the traitors of Jeff. Davis’s heptarchy. There seems to he at least one circum stance of which there can he no doubt, to wit, that the utmost activity is dis played in the- Brooklyn navy yard and that vessels of war are being put in commission as rapidly as possible. Vari ous projects are ascribed to. thCfee move ments, which include the reinforcement of Forts Sumter and Pickens and the collec tion of the revenue on shipboard in the Southern ports. All patriots will hope fervently that these things maybe so. Af fairs have arrived at that point where either the government at Washington or the government at Montgomery must go down. A dispatch received last evening says that the .Morris Island battery has fired upon another steamer, and that Major An derson lias demanded an explanation of Gov. Pickens. THE STBAITS. In another column of to-day's paper will be found a sketch of the trip of the pro peller McQueen to the S.raits of Macki naw. She proceeded to within two miles of the tower-lights on Waugashance, where ihe ice was ten inches thick, covered with about twelve inches of snow. Should we have reasonably warm weather for a week to come, it is supposed that the Straits will be opened by the 15ch instant. Never be fore in the history of the West, was the event looked for with greater anxiety.

[Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.! Wabhinqtoic, April 16, 3861. In my last, I took occasion to asseverate in emphatic and positive terms, that, appearances to the contrary notwithstanding, it was the earnest intention of the Republican Adminis tration to uphold the supremacy of the Fed eral Constitution and laws with all the means at its command. I affirmed furthermore, that although uncontrollable circumstances would probably necessitate the evacuation of Fort Sumter, all the other military posts along the Gulf coast still occupied by Federal troops would not only be held at all hazards, hut so strengthened by re inforcements as to enable : them to defy any force the cotton rebels would be able to raise against them. The develop ments of the last few days have vindicated all my assertions In the premises. The Ibrts at Tortugas and Key West have been re-enforced with several hundred troops and supplied with provisions for six months, and as to Fort Pickens, I feel authorized to state that Lieut. Slemmer has at this hour no less than e ix hundred troops under his command—a num ber sufficient not only to repel any attack, but also to render any successful investment im- possible. Official advices received here since the arrival of the Daniel Webster in New York leave no doubt as to the safe landing of tlxe troops despatched for the re-enforcement of the Fort nearly three weeks ago. An entirely erroneous impression seems to have got abroad in regard to the efficiency of the pre parations of the revolutionists for the Beige of Fort Pickens. I have conversed with an offi cer of high rank on the subject within the last twenty-four hours. He ridiculed the idea given out by the Secession press that the gar rison was already cut off from all communica tion, and a re-enforcement from the fleet in Pensacola bay was no longer practicable, and expressed the grea-est confidence not only that Lieut Slemmer could arrest in but little time any attempt to prevent the landing of troops with his heavy guns, but also that un der cover of the night, a re-enforcement could be always made, without incurring any risk of life or property. An occurrence at the White House on Sat urday evening, the details of-which I learned yesterday morning, furnishes additional evi dence of the solicitude of the President to re deem the pledges given in his inaugural, and discharge his constitutional duties without fear of consequences. At the stated time, three Western Congressmen, one of them, a United States Senator from Wisconsin, called on the President by special appointment They found him engaged in looking over a number of maps of the Gulf coast After a few min utes of general conversation, one of the visit ors told him, that they thought it their duty previous to their departure for their Western homes, to inform the executive of the anxiety ofthe loyal Republicans. of the Northwest to see the outraged honor and dignity of the Fed eral Government redressed, and its authority maintained in all the States ofthe Union, by a Republican President The spokesman the n referedtothe demoralizing and humiliating effect of a passive attitude ofthe Government in the fear of the rampant treason, aggression and rebellion and intimated that although the people of the States they represented had recognized the “inexorable necessity” of the evacuation of Fort Sumter and were ready to abide by it, they had hoped that the Fed eral property yet within the control of the government would be held and protected, and the revenue laws executed. In reply to this, the President gave his visitors to. understand that the evacuation of Fort Sumter teas not by any means a settled fact ; that it was certainly his anx ious desire to retain possession ofthe Fort and that he would greatly regret to be obliged to yield to necessity and withdraw the garrison; that as to the other forts, he knew his duty and would fvIJU it by holding than to the lasi / ajtd in regard to the collection ofthe revenue, the executive liad no other alternative left than to exact its payment as far as it lay in his power. Comment Is uu necessary. An entirely nnexpected issue has been sprung upon the Administration by the recent events upon the island of St. Domingo. On Sunday morning, a bearer of cispatches from the American Consul at Havana to the gov ernment, in reference to the expedition of an army of occupation by the Spanish authorities, arrived here and had two protracted inter view with the Secretary of State in the course of the same day. Yesterday the information bronght by him was the subject of consulta tion between the President and Mr. Seward. It is presumed that a vigorous remonstrance will be at once lodged with the Spanish min ister. Were It not for onr internal troubles, the filibustering presumptions of Her Catho lic Majesty’s government, would doubtlessly be counteracted by the Federal power in the most,cnergetic manner. But in its present paralysis, its intervention will hardly go be yond an exchange of diplomatic notes. Some curiosity is manifested here as to the recep tion of the St. Domingo Intelligence at Mont gomery. Some Southrons here pretend to believe that Jefferson Davis will immediately declare war against Spain. But I think bo will have fighting enough to do at home be fore long and conclude let outside quarreling alone for the present. The scene at the 'White House between the President and the California place-hunters, cn Saturday morning, furnished considerable oc cupation to tha tongues and pens of newsmong ers. As its details have doubtlessly reached yon ere telegraph. It will suffice to say, that the prompt and signal manner jn which the President rebuked what he considered of fensive and disrespectful to his friend, the Rep resentative of the State of Oregon, was Bp- proved by the p rotes tan ts against the interfe rence of Senator Baker with California appoint ments, themselves. None of them were aware ofthe character of what Mr. Slmonton intended to say, and all were greatly surprised by the bitter personal denunciatory tone of his re- niarks. The statement that the demonstra tion would seriously and lastingly affect the Republican prospects in the Golden State, is entirely unfounded. A compromise was ef fected that proved satisfactory to all parties, and the best feeling prevails once more all around. Mr. William Howard Russell, ths special envoy of the London Times, has been sojour neying here for nearly a week. He received marked distinction at the hands of tie Presi- dent, the members of tie Cabinet, mjd politi cal eminences generally. He was introduce d to Mr, Lincoln by Mr. Seward, and dined in the White House on Saturday. He ias since expressed himself very much struck with the frankness, good nature and sagacity of the President, and confident of tie success of his Administration. The secession press has teemed with wieed t. D !?° £B of Timc3 ? special since his ani- Jf J® **• ecfcatry. But, their hopes to affect his judgment by flattery will turn out grievous delusions. Mr. Ruasell, like every other intel ligent and cultivated European, considers sU- an abomination, and is altogether un likely to say aught in opposition or justifies tion of the rebellion that alms solely at extea alon and perpetuation of that monstrosity. His observing and penetrating mind will not fcU to perceive the hollowness of the secession cause, the folly and criminality of its leaders and the hugeness of the deception practiced by them upon the people of the South, and with the independence of opinion that char ged his whole journalistic career, he will hold up that greatest sham and chest of the age—the Cotton Confederacy—to the scorn •ad contempt of the Old World.

In ,1807 .he-was.* admitted to" the bar and commenced the practice of his profession in the town of T.ebaeoii, near .his father’s farm. In 1812 he was elected to Con gress in the Lebanon district,. (which then in cluded Cincinnati), as a supporter of President Madison’s war policy. In 1814.be was re elec ted without opposition, receiving every vote cast in the district In the following dear ie was tendered by hia party, which was fhori in power, a seat in the United-States Senate, which he declined. In 1817 the Legislature of Ohio unanimously elected him a Judge of the Supreme Court of the State—a position which he held until 1832, when President Monroe ap pointed him Commissioner of.tbel General, - Land Office, In the following year he was ap pointed Postmaster - General The vigor and efficiency which he infused into this'depart ment of the public service, then in a terribly/ disordered condition, rendered; him .one of tbe most popular : men in the • nation." So great was the public applause for hia conduct of the postal system, and so conspic uous were his services, that Congress raised the salary or the office from ; $4,000 to $6,000 per snnum. In 1829, President .Jackson ten dered him successively the Departments of war and the navy. The President then ten dered Mm a seat one the Supreme bench,' which he assumed in January 1830, and which he has filled uninterruptedly till the present time. Judge McLean was three times promi nently brought forward for the Presidency by the free-soil and Republican parties—first at the Bnflalo Convention in 1848, next at the Philadelphia Convention of 1856, and again at the Chicago Convention of 1860. In the Phil adelphia, Convention he received 146 votes against 359 for Col Fremont. Judge .McLean’s .Circuit was the largest and its duties by far the most laborious in the present organization of the Supreme court, including the States of Ohio, Michican, Indi ana, and Illinois. One session was held annu ally in Chicago, and his frequent presence here gave him a huge acquaintance among our citizens, by whom he was univerally loved and respected. , Among lawyers, Judge McLean had a repu tation which will be enduring. He was not eo much distinguished for profundity and copi ousness of legal knowledge as for that strong moral grasp and acute sense which seized upon and brought to light the essential equities ■of the cases which came before him. Hundreds of men belonging to the profession, in less conspicuous positions, were his superiors In the technicalities of the books and the ancient absurdities of the Practice; but perhaps no man who ever filled a place on an American Bench ever hod, in a more notable degree that keen insight into the sometimes subtle distinctions between right and wrong, or ever pursued the one and contemned * the other with the zeal for which Jodge McLean was distinguished. And herein was his hold upon the popular heart. His thorough and resolute honesty not alone the honesty which made his daily walk and conversation an example to all younger and less favored men, but his intellectual honesty, which raised him above the tricks of his trade and made the reasoning and conscientious man always superior to the quirks and quiddities of the Bar and the Bench, was everywhere patent; and though his decisions have always been carped at rs lacking the mnstiness which one smells in Blackstone and Coke, the people have never been ready to believe that, if not always the legitimate deductions from the law in the* books and the Courts, they did not embody the full measure of justice which mortals may attain. The most serious blow ever given to his popularity among lawyers of the highest grade, and among the people at large, was in flicted by the Judge himself in his decisions touching the atrocious Fugitive Slave Law. That other and higher authority will Judge them to be erroneous, and that men will here* after wonder how he, cast in so noble amould, endowed as he was with hatred of oppression, of legal shams and of wrong, could have failed to see that the act' which had his endorsement was a defiance of all law, we devoutly believe. But that he sin cerely entertained the opinions .on that sub ject which he has left on record, no man will ever have room Jo doubt His subsequent thorough and overwhelming refutation pf the monstrous doctrine avowed by the majority | of the Judges of the Supreme Court in the case of Dred Scott—a refutation which can never be successfully assailed—did much tow ard restoring him to his old place in the affec tions of the people"; ghd perhaps nothing but his advanced age prevented them ftopi calling him in 1856 and again In 1860, totske the highest place intheirgift. • Washington Items. [Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Washington, April 8, THE NEW XOAX’, Secretary Chase has to-day accepted $3,090 - 000 of the bids for the loan at 04. He accepts none under that rate. The bidders are per fectly will mg to take all the remainder at 94, and in most instances are anxious to get it at that rate- It does not appear that the Secre tary has authority, however, to take the re maining five millions in that manner, though au express provision is made for the issue of Treasury Notes at six per cent. This he will do. These facta demonstrate how easily Wall street is operated to reduce the credit of Gov ernment. Finding that the capitalists of oth er sections are willing to take the whole loan at 6 per cent, they aD rush in for their share. The Secretary received some thirty dispatches to day from New York bankers* all of whom are desirous to get the whole loan at the rate named. Yesterday, or the day before, they en deavored to make combination bids ■ at ninetv and even lower, thus injuring the credit of the Government and benefiting no one but them selves. It is well known that immense specu lations were made on the old loans, by the New Yorkers. AU the correspondence, calculations, &c.. connected with the letting were actually final ly concluded and disposed bf yesterday, or rather before daybreak this morning; It was a feat never before accomplished. Not only the Secretary and Assistant bat ail the subordinates of the Department engaged in the work, deserve great praise for the en ergy and industry thus displayed. Some cf the stock of this new loan has been already Is sued to-day. .

THE CONFLICT IN VIBOUSU- To-day the Richmond W%, heretofore the staunchest Union journal in Virginia, came ofit for Secession. A'l tie available stock in the concern was bought up by Secessionists, and Ridgeway, the editor, one of the most able statesmen and true Union men in Virgin ia, was voted out. The'sum of $20,000 was immediately subscribed to start a Union jour nal. The fight is growing very warra nt Rich mond. 1 • ... FORT 6CMTKB. The Cabinet had a session to-day on Fort Sumter. Rumors are rife to-night that it has been decided to reinforce t?ie Fort, but little confidence is felt in them. evacuation will undoubtedly take place, though Its effect as a. peace measure Is stated by Southern Union men to be lost, owing to thelongdelay. TEXAN AFFAIRS. The news from Texas has caused considera ble excitement here to day, and speculation is rife as to the course to bo pursued by the Ad ministration, should statements of the' inva sion of Texas from Mexico be lrue.

WHAT THE ACTUAL PACTS ABHf Certain it is, that' a company of sappers and miners left this morning for New York harbor, with sealed orders; that Gen. Bum - ner has been for some days engaged in super* intending active military preparations in and about New York; that every available gov ernment vessel has been ordered, within the last twenty-four hours, to be in readiness for immediate service: and that (as telegraphed to you last.nigbt), the order to reinforce Fort Pickens Is beueved in. official circles to be ex ecuted'at this time.

Chicago Highland Guard Ball.— By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen this company propose giving a military ball this evening, which we hope will be well attended and successful.’ l lt is a well-known fact that; our military companies, at the pres ent moment, are in a very poor condition in deed. In fact, those companies which have not already disbanded are on the very verge of disorganization. This company furnishes an exception to the general rule. The Highland Guards have, from occasions like the present, realized enough of the needful to keep them “shoulder to shoulder” so far, till they now number upwards of sixty men. They are de servingofaome substantial support atthe hands of our citizens. Tickets may be obtained from any member of the company, or at the door this (Friday) evening. Kerosene Explosions, The press have lor years past been uttering warnings against the use of Burning Fluids in families and have had frequent sad instances of accidents wherewith to point their protests. It seems high time to worn the public, .In equally strong terms, against imitations of Kerosene, which are, perhaps, even more dan gerous than Burning Fluid, or Camphene. We say “ imitations” because the genuine arti pie of Downer and others is inezplosive. But unscrupulous men attempt to make a com pound which will be of like appearance and of more profit though solfi at a less sum. A gen tleman thoroughly posted In this matter thus writes us: This city is filled with this so-called Kero sene, and many explosions and accidents will happen;. Here is a receipt which I will furnish gratis to any one wishing to know how to makp the substitute for Kerosene which will bum in gerosene lajaps; Take one gallon Fuspl ojl, one gallon camphene, one gallon cheap coq.l oi}, eba&e well" arid let tbenrstaud forty-eight hours before using. And this mixture is an explosive and highly dangerous compound, exposing families who use it to most serious and frightful accidents. The Kerosene Oil trade has within a very Tew years past grown to colossal dimensions, end U still increasing, the article as an illumi nator finding no competitor but gas in our cities. A leading, and indeed thp piopeer Chi cago house in this trade, C, L. IjTpble, No. 123 South Clark street, has its advertisement In another column, to which we invite attention, and with the utmost consistency with the. above advice and caution against bogus Kero* sene. *Tbe Chicago Post Offices Thera is only eighty-flye posts in &U, in the Chicago Post Office and for each one of these there.areat least ten applications, not oply from the. city, but from the Northwest, indeed, we may almost say, from the country at large, since from eight States there are pe titioners and petitions. This famishes a suffi cient reason, without other explanation, why the recipient oi so many letters and so many appeals, cannot attempt the responses by let ter, In many cases so urgently solicited and desired. < ’ The pressure of the times upon business in every department of trade, and upon the sev eral professions, Alls the vsnira of this army of applicants with very many excellent men, worthy to fill any position of trust, and obvi ously this makes the task of selection all the more embarrassing. Certain it is that half g scoreof institutions'like the Chicago Post Office could be equipped from the present list of applicants for places of prospective vacan cies, in the._ office in this city. The newly appointed Post Master will enter upon the duties of ids office.abont the middle of the present month, andmeanwhile finds the place ha holds, though only prospective, no sinecure from reasons and causes above set forth. Neither of omnibuses before they get ready to start, nor of post office administra tions before they are under way, can it be said i “AH Ml inside." and-probably the later ! comers will continue to crowd up, mid follow ing the advice of the auctioneers, “if yon Can’t crowd up, send your letters np.” stDl the reasons are thus folly stated why inevita ble disappointments are in store for so many and the very large majority of the number. ’ A from a Lady, ~ ' Cmcico, April 9,1881.

The McQueen left Chicago on the morning of Wednesday 27th inst:, and on 3 o’clock of the next was among the drift ice between weeping Bear ar d South Manifon, having made 1 * nm of 920 miles. She pushed her way through it, and tried to get Info the harbor of Sosth, Maniton, but failing,lhy' id: Thursday nlgftit moored to an ice lfloe. On Friday monfing she ran to* the: S.E. and finding an oj&pJbrane between the ice and the cast shbaiteamed through it to : North port inGran®-Traverse Bay reaching it the same afternoon. - - Here they wooded up, hauled their fad to the steamer wifh'teams two miles across the ioe. A change in the wind set the ice down upon them ami jammed them in shore. On she attempted to get out, was driven. hack. After-hard work, they succeeded in getting clearjm'Snnday abunt 1 o’clock, p.m., when they ran down the shore of the Skilla golee toTrithJn two miles of the light-tower of the head of the Straps and twenty-five miles dnewest of Mackinac. Sun day night was passed; moored to an ice floe, Capt. Ballantme, the commander.of the Me.’ Queen, accompanied by the wheelsman, set out :to go thoiTower, but as the light was not lit failed to find it, and had to ■ return. The McQueen lefijWaugoahance on Monday morn ing, .bound forborne, and has reached her«j making the in excellent style considering the circuitous route taken and the weather she encountered on the way. The wind was at times a. gale, and she met much drift Ice, at times placing her in a position, of great difficulty and peril. She came ward to the month ot Grand Traverse Bay. On Tuesday she wood at the head of the Beaver, hauling it on a mile on the ice by ox teams. ■ ■. The coursewas shaped for the west shore, when they sight of Point Aux Barques. Thence, in a violent snow storm they hauled up southward and made for Chicago. On Tuesday night they lay with heavy Ice all about them, the marks of which encounter, the gallant Utile propeUer still bears. Out of this they cut their way with much labor, get ting out about. 11 a. m, of Wednesday. The McQueen reached Milwaukee at day light yesterday morning, and Chicago at 6 o’clock p.m. yesterday. She has found only one clear day since she left. Those on the propeller were Capt. Baliantine,her command er, Capfc John Prindlville one of her owners, Capt R. C. Bristol, Mr. Whitfield i and her crew. Their report is altogether a favorable one. There is muii snow on the ice, the latter being from ten to eleven inches thick, A few days of warm weather would, fromthcamonnt of snow on it Wear it away quick. .The drift ice is heavy, but has been driven to the west ern shore, and will probably be used up before it can be drivSa back. It was on their return home up aiopg the west shore that their greatest difficulty was experienced. The party hive had a most adventurous and memorable trip, which doubtless all of them were willing to- see ended last evening. 5/"5. 3 - - JrkBBS, The fire ationt ten o’clock on Weddeaday evening partially conanmed a house and barn on North Halated-afreet, besween Indiana and Fourth atreet, belonging to Thoa. Welch. The lose is about S4OO. A fire broke oat about four o’clock yester day morning, bnmirg out lie lower apart ments of a two-story brick building, occupied by Messrs. Dole & King, of 104 Randolph street, as a whip manufactory, and Situated in the alley in the rear of the Garret Block, on State street. The entire loss, including stock, machinery, and other fixtures, is about $5,000, which is partially covered hy ah insurance of $3,500 in the Etna and Fhcenix Companies. Mr. Dole was sleeping in the building at the time, and narrowly escaped with his life. The origin of the lire is unknown. A Naubow Escape. —in. yesterday’s Police Court a young girl fifteen years of age, named Kate Little, was brought np under, circum stances that awakened great interest'ln her Base, which copveys a warning.the young and inexperienced should profit hy. The girl, who is of very pleasing appearance, was.taken ont of a house of prostitution on Wednesday night by officer Nelson and conveyed to the Armory. Justice Davis questioned her rela tive to her history. She said that her name was Kate Little. She got aboard the care on the Michigan Southern road Wednesday, at field Pfater, with the intention of going tp White Pigeon. In tire care she was accpsted hy a apecions villain, who, by flattering prom ises, prevailed upon her to come to Chicago, Here ahe waa placed in a notorious establish- ■ ment, kept by one of the most noted of her wretched class of females In this city. The latter, however, magnanimously refused to become a party to the poor girl’s betrayal, and lodged information with the police without delay, and fl) e PF°lppt action of officer Nel aon rescued the ypnng girl from a life of mis ery and dishonor, it is to be hoped. The Court, after hearing the surroundings of the case, gave the girl a severe reprimand for her folly and discharged her, upon her promise to do better and return home. Eecoedkb’s Cocei.—lh this Court yester day Eugene Hartman and John Peters were convicted of larceny of *lls from Mr. Backus a cripple. The jury very righteously sen tenced the thieves each six years In the peni tentiary. The officers of the court, the Jnry and those present, contributed a sum of money on the spot for the assistance of the doubly nnfortu nate man.
