COMMUNICATED.

Mn. Epiroa-It is gratifying to observe
that the good people are beginning to appfecil
ate the advantages which would result from
making a canal from the Baton Rouge, in the
direction OF the Amite river. One Of only
two miles In length, would bring the trade a
distance Of twenty miles farther Than it now
comes ard one Of fifteen miles, would draw
the trade Of a part Of the parish Of Livings.
ton, all ofst. Helena, Washington, and a part
Of East Feliciana. II would also bring part
Of the Amite county, and nearly all Of Pike
The growers of Holmesville Wagon thei
whiskey from Baton Rouge at present, and
they say the people of Pike county would
trade TO Baton Rouge entirely, we're it not for
the very bad state Of the roads In the neigh
borhood Of il, "for," say they, 1--WE can have
pick and choice ofup country produce; where.
as when we trade to Covington we nave TO
order il across the lake, aud it often happens
that the articles sent are not so good as if We
had selected them ourselves" II this inn
ptovemeni was made, il may be safely assun.
ed that five times as much trade would cen
ire at Baton Rouge as does now.
And what would 1t cost Say the canal was
ten tniles long eight yards wide+ and two
yards deep, and located upon a perfect plant
II would cost about $4,000 per mile, or $685.,
600 for ten miles this is allowing one dollar
for every eleven cubic yards Of excavation,
which is said to be days work for one hand;
but allowing it to cost half as much more, 1t
would then amply reward every one who had
any interest in ii, and there Is but little doubt
that the time would come, when the stock
would be verE profitable.
Should an Improvement of this kind be
made, ii would enable the planter TO carry in
all The products of his farm, and stock, be.
sides tan.bark, fre.wood, and timber for the
mechanics; at present it would be worth haif
their market price TO get them in, indep .ndent
of the cruelty to the poor animals which
draw the load. Il appears If II should be com.
menced, that it would be a proper employ
ment for the State oonvicts.
T|cannot do better here than Quote from a
piece written for the DEIrA on this subject.
The writer sayst
" Besides, such a system Of labor would be
a real punishnent-o which might deter
the vicious from the commission of crime,
whereas, as now, the penitentiary is looked
upon as rather a comfortable asylum to those

honesty, as a place where they can be well
fed and clothed, till the history of their mis-.
deeds is forgotten, and they can rec mmence
their infamous course"

NAVY YARD.-The location of the tationa
navy yard at Memphis, seems to be one o
those pubic measures undertaken withou
sufficient foresight or reflection. That sec
ton of the country is liable to be flooded a
every high rise Of the Mississippi, and to rem.
der the navy yard safe from inundalion will
require enormous OUTLAWS from the national
government. The distance of Memphis from
the Balize, and the numerous bars between
it aud the Gulf, is, in our opinion, another
| strong objection against its location. We
learn that the works have been undertaken,
but we doubt not they will prove f~ruitless and
eventually be abandoned. Had il been loca.
ted at Baton Rouge, the expense would have
been triaing TO what il will be under the pre-
sent circumstances. The town is elevated +;
in the neighborhood Of some forests of live.
oak, and other valuable timber, and the stu.
alton Of the bayou seems TO have been deS-
tined by nature for the purpose, either of a
ship building yard, dry dock, SC. The whole
might also be protected at a | times bv the
u S. Arsenal. an object of no small impor.
lance in time Of war. The distance from the
Gulf is some hundred miles nearer than Mem.
phis, aud the river navieable for ships of the
largest class at all seasons Of the year. The
following article, by the editor Of The Vicks-
burg T~ateiigencer, will give a pretty fair idea
of the stale Of things at Memphis:
Passing the celebrated naval depot, I was
aStouiShed TO see, even at this stage of the
water, the wotks Of the government SUI pended
by high water. The fence on one side Of the
land-on the hilt-side-was out Of water, but
all the balance one wild wilderness of Mis-.
SiSsippl waves. 1t is really amusing to see
the struggle between the contractors and the
MiSSisSippi-it reminds one Of the famous
speech of Sydney Smith upcn the reform bill,
and the oppoSiton of the Lords to public
opinion. Mr.. Smith, in ridiculing the feeble
opposition Of the Lords 10 the force of public
opinion, said il reminded him of a story of
Mrs. Parmigan, q write from recollection
who lived near the beach, at Brighton. Al
storm arose on the Atlantic, and swelled lis
waves until they made a breach ever the
beach-the waters spread themselves far and
wide, they broke upon Mrs. Parmigan's porch,
Instantly she ran 20 the protection Of her
house, with mop and broo4-every thing was
activity-the mop mopped, and the broom
swept--the water increased-MrS. Parmigan
increased her exertions; but it all would not
do-exhausted nature sunk in the effort, and
the Atlantic conquered Mrs. Parmigan!-
This will be the case with The naval depot, II

We learn, says the N. Y. Courier Of
the TIN, from Capt. True, Of the brig
Majestic, arrived this morning from The
City of ST. Domingo, that the political
affairs of the Island remained much the

which is beginning TO shew itself among the
blacks towards the white population. The

SAD MEETING.-Wc noticed some days
since that a young Englishman was re-
Gently killed on the Reading (Pa.) Rail.
road while standing on the platform of a
car. We have since seen an account of
the circumstance ofthe case, which render
it a very distressing one. Some few
monthsa ago his parents, who reside In
Pottsville, paid his passage from England,
in order that he might return as soon as
he had finished his trade From that time
his arrival had been a~nxiously expected:
and when the wreck of the Henry Clay
was made known to them, they were aG-
prehensive that he might have persisted On
board that vessel. He was aboard, but
was ~providentially preserved and his re-
atives receiving notice that he would come
up in the train Of Thursday, the I'd inst,
were all ~anxiously waiting his arrival at
the depot. Their agony when his corpse
was brought to them cannot be described
A large party of guests had been invited
to his parents residence to meet him, fol
he had been absent for many years, but
they could only join in following his re-
mains to the silent tomb.

In regard to the r1unored declaration Of

by Capt. Windle to say that the statement

LATE FROM CA11f5REtA.-Afriped Of Capt
Fremont at M0ktereg.-We had the pleasure
Of conversing yesterday, with an intelligent
gentleman aho arrived IN town on Monday
direct from California. lie left there on the
18th Of February last, by sea, for Mazatlan,
and thence proceeded to the City of Mexico.
Leaving there again on the 3D. insts be real
Ched this city on the bark Claremont, from
Vera Cruz.
Quite the most important intelligence for
which we are indebted to him relative to Capt.
Fremont, That gallant and adventurous Of
hcer reached Capt. Suffers s%enttlement, OF
New Helvetla, about the LIST of February last,
with a force Of about sixty mounted men, as
we are informed. Capt. Fremont had been
SO fortunate as TO discover a new route or pass,
by which California cen be reached by emf
grants in sixty days less time than by the old
route rid Oregon. This new route is perfect.
ly practicable fof wheeled vehicles, and when
it comes to be generally known, will give a
renewed impetus 10 emigration TO California.
We have no information TO enable us to point
out where il strikes off from the Oregon trail,
or TO explain its course. Capt. Fremont left
his party near Capt Suffers and proceeded
himself to Monterey on a visit. We have no
information az to the period Of his return OF
the route he will pursue.
The representations made TO us in regard
10 the state of California confirm former aG-

ment of Mexico is almost entirely thrown Off

the functions Of chief magistrate have been
discharged by Don Pic Pico, a Californian by
birth, We believe, who holds his office by some
Indefinite but popular tenure. The famous
Mexican expedition TO reduce the Department
to obed ence has not reached California. Our
informant saw a part ofthe troops destined for
this operationas he passed through Guadala-
iara, about the 18th ult. II is his opinion that
it Il not now In the power of Mexico to impose
a Governor upon California that should one
be sent there, he would be almost immediate.

trarted by discussions among themselves, and
stability under and rule or any form of GO
%vernnent, is not to be counted upon among
them.
There is a strong tide Of emigration pour
ing in from the States by way Of Oregon.
Some leave this country with a view in the
QUEST to settle there but there is d yet grea.
ter inflnx Of disappointed emigranls to Ore

better lands aud happier skies.
