THE ALLEGED GRIEVANCES OF SOUTH CARO-
LINA.-The essay ON this subject, from the pen
of Chief Justice CRANoH, (and which appeared
originally in the New York EIpress.) is 50 clear,
intelligent, and instructive, that we feel con-
strained to give place to it in the columns Of
our paper. Judge c. is just upon the evening
of his eighty-second year." and has of late
suffered much from bodily inirmities; yet it
win be perceived that his calm mind and clear
judgment are unfailing.

To the Editors of The American Telegraph.

40 me Ednors OF the American Telegraph.
GENTLEMEN: If you wish to add subscribers
to your paper, and render it still more popu-
lar--if you wish to discharge your full duty,
(which have no doubt you do,) advise some
remedy by which the people Of Washington may
be protected against the abominable "sofence OF
the free negroes. 1t is universal complaint
The writer of this has seen ladies compelled 10
walk almost off the sidewalk for them; and this
fact is notorious, that they never give way for
ladies, and but seldom to gentlemen, unless
thew happen to have big stick with them.
The evil is growing worse and worse every day.
If YOU could, by calling attention to this sub
iect correct the evil you Will be looked on as
a public benefactor, and richly deserve the
thanks and patronage of your fellow-citizens
Cora.
We carry a "big stick" and therefore do not
experience the evils complained of by Cora
and if Gas VIC doubt noD she is young and
pretty, it will give us great pleasure to walk
with and protect her from the too great free
dom of free negroes of all colors. We think,
however, that the enforcement Of an existing
statute respecting persons of all kinds who do not
pursue useful occupation, and who have no
visible means of support, would effect the de-
sired object. Honest and Industrious people,
whether white or black, are seldom offensive in
their demeanor toward others. 1t was mis-
take in our authorities not to enforce every
possible regulation for the public security
when the drainage Of neighboring county
took place. We have more idle and vicious
colored people here now than we had but
few years ago, and it is necessary that a
vigilant care be taken Of them by the police,
and by such of our citizens as are willing
to devote themselves to their improvement.
They love display, ease, and luxury, and per-
haps have few inducements to endeavor to win
our good opinion and encouragement. Cannot
some of our citizens take this subject under
their special consideration? The field is one
in Which much good can be done to people of
all compilations. There are enough of the bet
ter kind Of colored people here to show what
can be done in the way Of elevating and i'm
proving the rest. Let the effort be made

STEAM Power ON CANALs-The New York
sought has at length been found, and its appi-
cability practically demonstrated. At the foot
OF Hubert street there is now moored small
steamboat, which, though not very inviting in
its appearance combines all the requirements
for canal motive power, and the evidence Of her
ability to do the necessary labor is furnished
by the three heavy-laden barges which are be-
side her, and which she has towed from Nor
folk Va, up the Potomac river to the Cumber
land mines, and thence through the Alexandra
canal, the Chesapeake and Delaware canal, NJ
the Delaware river and through the Delaware
and Raritan canal to New York, q distance OF
nearly FIVE hundred miles, and in few days she
viii continue her voyage to Albany. She is a
small boat of about one hundred tons burden,
and has two engines, rated at fifteen horse
power each. 'The wheels are bent into the seq
ment of circle, and they enter and leave the
water without creating the great motion caused
by the ordinary paddles. Should, however, the
power required cause any swell, the raging
waters are smoothed down and pacifed by the
float that follows the wheel. This float can be
raised or lowered as circumstances may require.
The owners Of this boat assert that they can
take train Of freight boats, loaded with eight
hundred tons Of coal, from the Cumberland
mines to tide-water, at speed of four miles
per hour, at one quarter the price at which the
work can be done by horsepower; and the
boats can be passed through the locks without
detacbing them, and in less time than is re-
quired by the same number of boats propelled
separately. The boat is called the " Virginia"
She was built after the plan patented by g.
Parker, esq.,, of Massachusetts, and is owned
by Messrs. N. s. Denny & Co., of Boston, who,
we understand, are constructing another boat
at Albany to be used on the Erie canal"

FOURTH OF JULY.-We understand that the
Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance o.
the State of Pennsylvania have resolved to visi
Washington, in full regalia, on the 4th of July
and to bring with them the beautiful stone they
have prepared as their offering to the Monu
ment of Washington.
We also learn that the Grand Division of the
District have resolved to meet their brethren,
in full regalia, and escort them from the depot
to Monument Place, where they will meet the
Monumental Association, and where the cere
mony of presentation will take place.
A correspondent, in communicating to us
this announcement, says:
90 The day and the occasion will be appropri-
ate for temperance demonstration. Many
Sons from neighboring Divisions in Maryland
and Virginia will no doubt unite, and swell the
ranks of the order. We can conceive of no
more fitting manner in which to celebrate this
glorious day-consecrated through the length
and breadth of our favored land to liberty-no
more appropriate way of honoring the memory
of Washington. Temperance, religion, and vir-
tue are the pillars of our Republic. Pull them
down and all rational freedom will be crushed
by their fall. NJ.
"Will the citizens and authorities of Wash
ington take part in the ceremonies? or will
they desecrate the day by devoting it to drunk
enness and folly, as too many, alas, have been
accustomed to do? We shall see.'
We hope whatever arrangements shall be en-
tered into, may be made with reference to the
grand ceremonies already suggested relative to
the cornerstone Of the Capitol
