Milwaukee, July 4.
The schooner CHAMPION, which was stranded last December at Traverse Bay, and which many had supposed to be a total loss, came into port yesterday morning, having been got off the beach a few days since by Messrs. Lyon and Milwiss, of Detroit. She is to be hauled out and repaired by L.J. Higby, to whom she has been assigned for the benefit of all her creditors] and again put upon the Buffalo trade, with a good and competent master to sail her, and cause her to sustain the good name she formerly bore, as being one of the fastest sailors on the lakes. - Sentinel.
