The Canal.

We have had an interview with Mr.. VIM.
J. Ball. engineer of the lower section of the
Wabash and Erie Canal. He informs US
that he has large body Of men at work on
the broken squeduct. With immense labor
they have secured the foundations, and bet
ter than they ever were before, and the re-
mainder Of the work will be comparatively
light. The aqueduct will be completed in
two weeks from this time, it is confidently
stated. There are no other repairs to make
at this particular time. Our business men
have been waiting impatiently for the Canal
to get ia good boating order. Thus far it has
been more an injury than q benefit to the bu-
siness of Evansville. But we hope all
things will soon be right. II not, it will be-
como the duty Of our citizens and others d.
Tectly interested, to take the matter in Ia nd,
and present the facts in proper and official
form to the bond holders, and thus learn
whether the trustees cannot be Influenced to
perform their duty to the lower end as well
a. to the upper sections Of the Canal-and
whether their eyes and ears cannot be made
to see and hear something belop Terre Haute.
We are not sure now but what it would be
an excellent idea to call mass meeting Of
our business men to consider upon this sub
ject, and if thought necessary, to appoint a
committee to travel along the line of the
Canal between this point and Terre Haute
and after close examination, to report truly
honestly and candidly, the condition of thi.
section in all its details Of work and manage
msnt.
But We may wait while longer. If after
the weather becomes more settled, the navi
CATION Of the Canal 10 still subject to contin.
ual Interruptions, some such action as we
have suggested, will not only be proper but
absolutely necessary. If the Trustees will
not voluntarily through q sense of duty &c
the people and business of this end Of the
. Canal, and to the interests of the bond hold
ers, devote more attention to the Canal De
low Terre Haute, the bondholders must b,
some means be induced to give their attsn
ton to the trustees.

In to-day's paper will be found telegraph
dispatches from Washington, New York,
Pittsburgh, &c, of the llth. The Canada
has arrived at Halifax. but news not forward

gers its passage, because every day the voice
of the people 10 becoming louder and more
indignant against the measure. Richardson,
who had the bill taken up before its regular
time, and who deceived the opponents of the
bill by signifying he wanted full discussion,
has offered a resolution that all debate be
closed at noon Friday, yesterday. 1t is by
such rascally and cowardly means the friends
of this bill will undoubtedly secure its pas.

character of the bill and its supporters, than
the course which is being taken to carry il

MOUND CITY.-We learn from the Padu-
cab Journal that there was a sale of lots last
week at "Mound City," a city Con raper) at
the mouth Of Cache River. FIVE miles above
Cairo. But few Of the lots sold for less than
500, and some went as high as $27o@
$500. McCarty, of the Journal, who was at
the sale with some other Paducah people,
says he went to Cairo, but didn't see any OF
the ne,o houses to which we recently alluded.
We don't believe Mac could have seen o big

A Murderou. Confession.

A man named James Clough was hung in
Massachusetts few days since, for the muir
der of an officer who attempted to arrest him
for burglary. From the following confession
made to the Sheriff, counterieting appears
to be a more extensive business tina n is gen.
orally supposed. He said to the Sheriff:
For the last six or seven years ave dealt
q good deal in counterfeit money.
Sheriff,-In what part Of the country did
you operate chiefly!
Clough-Prncipaly through the State oil

Sheriff-Did you pass il yourself!
Clough-Not very often. usually sold il
and got from twentey to twenty-five dollars
a hundred.
Sheriff-Upon what bank was the coun-
terfeit money in which you dealt!
Clough-It was chiefly Indiana money
Some of it was exceedingly well done. The
prisoner went on to say that this kind of
money was circulated extensively through
out the West; and that a great many honest
people took it, and passed it without knowing
that it was bad. He had delt considerably in
counterfeit notes on the State Bank Of Ohio.
He said he was in the habit of trav cling upon
the Lakes as sailor on the boats, and in
that way sold large quantities. Most of the
bills he bought were manufactured in Gin.

says all classes of men are engaged in it. He

OF There appears to be very brisk strife
going on at Washington in both Houses, to
sndeavor to reach the Nebraska bill, and
from the latest udvices some action must have
been zen before this date. The House
to consider the bill, on the 10th inst, and a
motion to stop debate on the 1l,h was duly
noticed by Mr.. Richardson, of Illinois. Seve-
raj members are absent from their seats, and
mostly the opponents of the bill. 1.-THE mo-
ton prevails, cutting off debate on the llth
it is calculated by some Of the knowing cor
respondents that the vote will be quite close.
We hope soon to see this matter disposed Of
let its fate be what it may.
