NORTHERN SLAVE DEALERs.-In the debate
on the fugitive bill, in the Senate, Mr.. Prat,
divulged statement of MIR. Berrien's, to the eff.
feet that the latter had collected upwards Of
100000 for a citizen of Rhode Island, upon
obligations of Georgia, for negroes imported in
to the latter State Mr. Berrien said that the
statement was correct, though he did not intend
to make it public at this time. This is most
astonishing fact, and deserves the attention OF
Congress. Who is this wholesale dealer in hu-
man flesh in Rhode Island? The suppression OF
such traffic on our own shores, would amour,
to infinitely more than our squadron on the Afri.
can coast has ever accomplished. Let the north.
ern abolitonsts look to this, before beginning
operations in the eSouth.-1Phll. Bulletin.

2422O, Length of improvement in feet.
The adaptation of machinery to excavation of
the character required in this case, at surpris-
ingly small cost of working, (see the letter Of
Geo. Armour Esq. hereto appended,) has been
amply tested, and with the most certain and sat-
isfactory results A patent Steam Excavator,
of the class now in operation upon the Fox and
Wisconsin river improvement, can be put up at
this place, complete, for eight thousand dollars.
This machine at working cost Of twenty dol
lars the day, will excavate and deposit the same
upon the side of the cut, one thousand cubic
yards daily or at the rate of two cents the yard.
In the present estimate, however, the commit
tee have thought proper, in order to cover the
cost of depositing in some instances beyond the
side of the cut and of clearing the channel be-
low Nc Gerry's Landing, to compute the entire
excavation at four cents the cubic yard. The
following statement, based upon the estimates
indicated above, exhibits the cost of completing
the proposed channel, exclusive of compensa-
ton to a competent Engineer to be employed
by the city throughout the entire work, viz:
Patent Steam Excavator, . $s,OO0.0O
Two Flat boats at $3.50 each, 10000
$780, 100 cubic yards of excavation at s.s -....
four cents per yard, 11,l67.6O
Repairs and other incidental expenses, 532.40
Making total cost Of $4,000
The proposed channel skirts every inch of the
easterly line of the city and extends mile and
half both above and below it-thus forming a
harbor not only adequate to the present com.
merce of Dubuque, but one that will afford e.
quail facilities when it's population shall numbe,

To the Hon. Mayor and Council Of the City of

10 Nte lion. mayor ana Council OF the CLty OF
Dubuque.
Your committee, to estimate the cost of exca-
vatng a Steam Boat Channel from Lormer's
Furnace to the current of the Missss pp river at
Eagle Point, respectfully report:
most thorough srrI cy of the river, between
its main channel and ''right bank through the
whole distance indicated above and one of un-
doubted accuracy, was made in the fall of 1874
by Capt. Joshua Barney, under authority of the
Typographical Bureau copy of the official
map of this survey has been, through the kind
ness of one of the committee, placed at their dis
posal and has been found to present all the in
formation necessary to enable them to comply
with the terms ofthe resolution authorizing their
appointment. Capt. Barney's survey, it may be
observed, assumes as its basis the lowest stage
of wafer that has occurred since the first settle
mcnt of Dubuque, and indeed the lowest of
which there is any existing knowledge; thus
showing that the data presented by him in re-
spcct to tendency and direction of currents and
depth Of water, are not likely to be varied by
any future survey.
| 1Oul CoHliilteCC, LulouSHOuL luc cSLllllaLc
have strenuousIy endcavored to keep upon the
safe side, and have hence estimated channel
one hundred feet wide instead of sixty, and
with the view of the diversion of the current OF
the river at Eagle point, have estimated for a
depth Of five feet below ordinary low water
mark, thc lowest on record, with solitary ex-
ception,) and four feet below the extreme stage
to which Capt. Barneys surveys are referred.
They have likewise consulted dircctness, thro'
out, and have, where it was at all practicable
with the view of making cut and landing con-
jointly, kept close to the shore, at the expense
in both instances of heavy excavations, which
might otherwise have been mainly avoided.
The following table shows the intermediate
distances from Lorimicr S furnacet to Eagle point
with the number Of cubic yards to be removed
for each distance respectively.
