THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

No river on the globe has so crooked q channel as tle Mississippi. Ne wonder that some of the nnum. erable bends which obsruct the direct navigation arc not shortened by an ariicra channel across the nar- row necks. We recoect having heard the captain of Steamer remark that the bends were highly iaYora- ble to steam navigation, they diminished the cur rent and enabled the boats to stem. This was some years since and before the great improvements in steam engines were made.-Jhe opinion was erroneous. fl has been said that to cut off the bends would swell the river much higher and it's inundatons to spread wider ard become more destructive. But fl must Ie perfectly obvious that the reverse would take place. The channel would sink deeper and become more fix ed, the current being rapid, and the distance shortened, 1t would pass its water to the Gulf so much sooner that high water mark would have 10 be placed much lower than ii now stands Hence many bene- ieiaI results would follow The swamps which are now annually filed by the overflow would dry up and be rendered arabe. But most of all would 1t conduce
 to the health of the lower Delta of the great valley and therefore, 1t is the duty of the government to take the subject into considerations t will be seen that strait line from New Orleans to Memphis is just half long the course of the river By stras!.tening the river to save 250 miles, the boats that make now five trips from Nashville to New Orleans would shorten their running 25o0 miles in season. and this would enable them to make the passage seven instead of five times. Ne invite the discussion of these mat ters by practical men, and should be glad hear from some of our intelligent navigators on the subject N'ashpAle Rep.

sdnta .aaa.-The moment we heard that Houston had been elected president of Texas we predicted that santa Ana would be llberated and the accounts re- ceved yesterday confirm us in our belief. The cab ine members of the present government have already made him prisoner at large; and daily hold confer enees with him, concerning the terms of lis liberation or ransom. He promises largeiy, but whether com peent 10 enforce any contract relative to the recoen ton of Texas by Mexico, is questionable matter.
 There is, however little doubt of Houston berating Santa Ana the most favorable teffas he can require and however many feel disposed to demand punish ment on prisoners, policy may preyail-ond that poll cy recommends liberation rather than retributye ius fice. Y, o. Staaaard

A VETERAN PRINTER. The editor of the Weekly Messenger lately paid visit to Haltford, Conn. where he records tho following interesting incdent: Since my arrival n this city have had interesting inter- view with the very venerable George Goodwin, who is now believe, the oldest practical printer in America being in his S0h year--but hale, hearty and act live, apparently, most men arc at 55 and 6o l found him in the same place, and at the employ nent that did when called him twenty years ago -namely, setting types for the Connecticut Courant. When expressed little surprise thereof, he ob- served that he had been setting types for this pa per more tlan seventy years, and he could not feel conten.ed to abandon his fayore employment at this time of life.
 In I764, there were but two newspapers published in Connectcut-one in New Haven, and one in New London. During that year MT. Thomas Green remoy- ed from New Haven to Hartford and established the Connecticut Courant. It was the size of a small sheet of writing paper, and about 400 copies were circulated in this and the neighboring towns. At that time there no printing office north of Hartford, and be- tween Hartford and Boston, Ii is remarkable fact, that George Goodwin, who weut as an apprentice to Mir Green, after the establishment of the Cour- ant at about eight years of age has assisted in the pub ieaton of the paper, either apprentice, proprie tor or edior from that this, period of more than 70 years Such is the truly Honorable George Good win, who, by steady of industry, integrity and economy, has placed bis family in sfiIaent circsta-
 
 to the world and especially to the rising generation.

One of the letters that exploded address sed 10 Governor Tacon, at Havanuah, and another 10 Matanzas. From his examination it appeared he had been crossed in love at lIavannah, the father of the young lady having attempted to take his life by poi soning the soup he was eating, and another time hir- ing two negroes to way lay and stab him Che having been opposed to the maich both of which proved in- efectdal. He was in hopes that the letters would have come into his hands and by that means have de- stroyed him. The examination lasted ill late hour, and the magistrate rcmanded him pnor to his commit tai to Newgate.--Balt. Trans.
