HARpER's FERRY, july Ii 1t
affords us much pleasure TO state, that
the large work shop belonging to the
Armory, at misplace, which was part
ly destroyed by fire on the s h Of May !,
has been so far repaired as to put in op
Grafton some of the useful m ichinery
which it contains. This has been in
use for week past, and the work is
progressing 81 fast, that in few days
allthe work men will resume their tasks.
The building alluded tots $50 feet long
SO wide. This result shows most
laudable zeal and activity.
A report has been put in circula
ton by some ofthe partizan prints, that
the ATToRNEY GENERAL was about
to be charged, temporarily, by the Elk
ecutive, with the duties of Secretary
of The Treasury. We are authorized
to state that this report is untrue, and
that the PRESIDENT contempIa,es no
such steps; indeed, the improved and
almost restored health of the Secreta
ny ofthe Treasury would now render
such i measure entirely unnecessary
even had his former indispo,ition made
its propriety at all probable.

ALBANY, FRIDAY, July 9.-Pu5l'c Dis
aster.-It becomes our disagreeable dti-
ty to announce, that the lock, at the
entrance of Erie Canal into the Hudson
at the head of the Albany Basin, caved
in yesterday morning. to such an ex-
tent, that long time will be necessary
TO repair it, SO that boats may again
pass through as hefetof ore.
There is deep fssure in the earth,
of from 10 to 80 feet in length, on each
side of the lock; and between these fs-
sures and the sides of the lock, the earth
has sunk considerably, and by its pre-
sure on the stone work has materially
disjointed each side ofthe lock. Atthe
upper gate, on the west end ofthe lock,
the whole body of the stonework has
sunk some inches, separating the wal
on each side by wide assure or crack
The basin, and the canal above, yes
terday morning, exhibited melancho-
ly spectacle. The water had almos
.Gntirely run out-leaving the bottom
NEARLY bare; and counted twenty-fv,
boats, many of them loaded, grounde.
on the basin, and in the canal, betweei
the two first bridges.
All was hustle and business, TO repai
the damage. The first thing is, to max,
temporary dam across the foot of tn,
basin, the work Of which commenced
about o'clock yesterday morning; ant
was probably finished last evening.

BUNKER HILL MONUMENT

We rejoice TO tnd that the patriotic de.
sign of erecting a monument upon one of
the hallowed spots OF our national domain,
so generally meets the cordial approval
and support OF our fellow citizens,
The battle of Bunker Hill, first among
the events Of our revolutionary struggle.
deserves to,be commemorated by a Monu-
ment wor thy OF its importance. Indeed
we can hardly attribute 10 this event more
Importance than it really deserves. Had
it not happened. had no; this early blow
struck terror into the before confident en-.
emies OF our rights and liberties, the In
dependence we now enjoy, we might have
been now compelled to achieve. The
war of the Revolution might have termin-
ated disastrously, and Washington, Han
cock and Adams have died the ignominous
death of traitors. The fields of Saratoga
and Yorktown might never been won, and
FaYette never as he now does. e3ulted in
the glorious freedom, which ihe helped
us TO achieve. II was Bunker Hill battle,
the noble stand there made by undiscipIin-
ed freemen, in defence of their rights,
which struck terror into the British sol.
diery, paralyZed their efforts ia every sue
ceeding contest and maintained the cour.
age of our citizens in the darkest periods
of the contest for independence
Such having been the results of the bat
tie of Bunker Hill, all have an interest
il the erection Of q Monument! wor-
thy Of the important event it is intended
10 commemorate. Indeed we should sup
pose all, IN proportion TO their ability,
would feel a iaudabIe ambition to have
their names recorded among the benefsc-
tors Of so noble a national work. Several
towns have already taken this subject up
in town meeting. and subscriptions have
been commenced, with laudabIe Iiberali-
ty. We hope other towns will not be
backward in the goodwork, and that we
may soon see the whole amount subscrib-
ed that is necessary to erect a Monument
worthy of Bunker Hill, and of our 'anci.
ent and beloved Commonwealth

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Since our last number, the contest has
been decided in New jersey, Delaware
and Maryland. In New Jersey, Jackson
gets the whole--eight votes. In Mary
land, Jackson seven, Adams three, and
Crawford one. Notwithstanding the I'M
expected, and we may almost say, unna'
tural union between the Jackson, Craws
ford, and Clay parties in Maryland the
Adams electors lost their election in the
Baltimore district by 427 votes only; and
10 other districts the Allies succeeded by
equally scanty majorities. ln district No.
2, although Major Herbert, the Jackson e.
lector, was successful, be bad but 698
votes in the whole district; whereas the
two Adams men had. jointly, 1913
Nothing can be palmer. than that Adams
is the real choice Of Maryland; and we
doubt not that her vote 10 the House OF
Representatives will be for him. In De'a-
ware, an Adams a Crawford and a Clay
elector have been chosen. The leglsla-
ture consists of thirty members. On the
last ballot the Adams elector had 9 votes,
which elected him: the Clay and Craw>
ford candidates fifteen eacb-but the
speaker OF the senate, usurping to himself
a casting yote,' declared these elected
also. The people Of this State, like those
of Maryland, are misrepresented by ma
nagement. A number of the members
have protested against the usurpation OF
the Speaker; aud that their objections are
valid, seems to US evident. But the Na~
