TWO VESSELS CAPSIZED. - We learn, says the Detroit Free Press, from one of the officers of the WABASH VALLEY that two vessels lay capsized and sunk in Lake Huron, not far distant from the reef where the propeller lay. One of these, doubtless, is the Canadian steamer CALEDONIA, which is already reported to have collided with an unknown propeller, and whose crew were taken to Milwaukee by the propeller POTOMAC. Of the other ill-fated craft, we can get no particulars.
