The Illinois and Michigan Canal.

The following from The money article
of the New York Herald Of the 10Th inst.
is truthful commentary upon the shame.
. less Encouragement of the officers TO
whom the work upon the canal has been
confided. We rejoice that the newspa.
pers along the line have lately taken I'd
the subject, and we trust that these scor
ings will have the effect to bring the ca
nal officers to sense of their duty. Their
sole aim is to retard the work as long as
possible, in order that they may enjoy the
facilities of speculation, out of which they
have already reaped such rich harvests.
They will have learned by this time that
they are at least responsible TO public
opinion, if there is no penal law for their
Punishment.-St0te Register.
ave have given in this days paper an
10 article from the illinois State Register
relative to the Illinois and Michigan ca.
nal. 1t is fair and correct statement of
the movements Of those parties having
the control of that work, and places the
. blame for all delays and mismanagement
on the right shoulders. The course Dur.
sned by. the trustees on the part of The
bOndholders, has created a feeling thro'.
out the state that will tend very much to
the injury of their interests; and every
opportunity will be made available to place
obstacles in the way of speedy fulfilment
OF the terms extended by the law. it will
be full three years from the commence.
ment TO the completion Of the canal under
that law, before il is finished; when it
was admitted by one of the trustees on
the part of the bondhoIders, that it could
be completed in two years at most, while
other engineers said eighteen months was
snfficient time. The expenditures NAV
-snot be increased by the delay, any further
g than the fat salaries of the two foreign
trustees, but the loss to the state of lii.
nols at large. must be very great. The
producers Of that state lose at least two
seasons by this outrageous bad manage.

The News from Mexico.

The accounts which we publish, in
to.days paper, from our army in Mexico
is of the highest import .nce. Though
there is some confusion taking all the ac-
counts together. still it is certain that this
has been the most bloody and bravely
contested battle Of the war.
There is no correct statement as vel
Of our loss, but we fear it is large. Our
troops fought under great disadvantages,
but it appears that they captured the cele.
brated "Halls Of the Montezumas," and
have the capital of our enemy's country ia
their possession. This victory reflects with
more splendor, the brilliancy OF our arms
than any which has been won heretofore.
Many of our brave officers and men have
fallen in achieving result over which
every American viii rejoice; but theil
deeds ofprowess will beorecOrded, and q
grateful country will mourn their loss. -
We await for further intelligence with the
most intense anxiety. Our gallant army
though it has repulsed the Mexican force:
and driven them from their capitol, is in
critical situation-weakened by hard
fought battles and surrounded by a wills
and treacherous foe.

From ihs N. Orleans Bulletin of the 18th uIs.
The q. s. steamer, JAMES L. DAY, ar.
rived last evening from Vera Cruz, with
papers and advices from that city to the
21st inet., bringing the highly important
intelligence of the capture of the city OF
Mexico by Gen. Scott. Gen. Scott gave
notice on the 9th that unless satisfactory
explanation and PREPARATION were made
for certain violations of the armistice, il
should be considered as terminated the
next day. Hostilities were accordingly
recommended on the 9Th, and terminated
by the occupation Of the city--some &C.
counts say ON the 18th, Others on the 18th.
Reports at Vera Cruz were very I'm.
favorable as to the loss Of the American
army, particularly in carrying by assault
the strong works of Chapultepec, where
they suffered dreadfulIY, and that their
total loss ex ;eeded 5000 men. We can.
not but believe and sincerely hope this is
a great exaggeration. There 10 another
statement which makes it l,7O0.
From the Mexican accounts it might be
inferred that Generals Wo,th, Pillow and
Smith were among the killed. The Mex.
lean account says that bomb fell among
some ammunition wagons. which. in ex.
ploding, killed three hundred Americans,
and among them Gen. Worth. The deaths
Of the other two officers are stated in e.
qualify indefinite terms. and we knog that
their reports have in former occasions, Kill.

IrOQuOi, Comfy.

Anis county - rapidly increasing IN
population. lite soil. for fertility. is mol
surpassed by any other portion Of the
State. Large quantities of agricultural
products are raised, and TIE only thing
required to render this county desirable
to the emigrant, is an out let for these
immense productions. A considerable
extent of its territory is well adapted to
grazing, and number of persons have
engaged in that business with success -
There are improvements going on all over
the county,and the advantages it possesses
are beginning 10 be appreciated abroad.
The Improvement of the Kankakee and
Iroquois Rivers will render this county
incalculable benefits. An outlet will be
opened to market, which with The splen-
did manufacturing privileges which will
be created, will make tina region of coun.
try bordering on these rivers desirable
location for men Of capital. The people
OF this county doubtless see the benefits
which they will derive by having these
rivers made navigable. Many of its cit.
liens are lending willing hand to the
enterprise, and using their efforts to has.
ten the completion of the work. 1t is
hoped that more gem raj interest will
he displayed. as tie properly of all in the
region near these improvements. will be
equally benefited. 1t is obvious that when
these Improvements shall have been com.
Pleted; that the price of lands will be
doubled-bence the necessity of,hose in
Ierested, taking hold anu doing their part
and not to rely upon others doing all.
Middleport, the county seat ofthis coun.
ty, is about s. miles from here, and is
situated on the Iroquois river. 1t is al,
ready a place of considerable business,
and is said to be improving rapidly. The
Court House, under the superintendent
ofMr. Pierce, one of,he oldest inhabitants
of that county, is nearly completed. 1t is
built of brick and its size and the style Of
its architecture is creditable to the c0un.
~ and an ornament to the town. There
is everything to make this place town
of large business, when the improve.
ment of the rivers mentioned above shall
have been completed. As the town is
situated in the midst Of a rich country, it
must necessarily be place ofconsidera-
BILE importance, but let thoroughfare be
opened from it to Chicago, and its great
advantages must be seen, when q view is
taken of its central situation.
