appropriation for Red River.

We have received letter from the Hon.
Rob't W. johnson, informing US that, after
hard fighting, the appropriation for the re-
moval of the Raft has been made subject to
the improvement Of navigation around the
Raft A clause for this object was first ap-
pended to the River and Harbor Bill, which
was vetoed by the President 1t was then
tackled on to the Army Bill and passed the
Senate, but was stricken off by the House
Still persisting however, Mr.. johnson sue
ceeded in having it restored, by conference
of the two Houses, and, eventually in hav-
ing it passed, as an appendage to the Army
Bill by both Houses.
He says it was an eventful time for our
Red River people, and strongly urges the
necessity of Immediately submitting our
plans of improvement to the Secretary Of
War, and of going to work in good earnest
to accomplish as much as we can with the
present appropriation, intimating that it is
almost our only hope. as our chances will be
very small for any further appropriation.
Mr. johnson deserves the warmest thanks
of our people for his persevering energy in
this business, fer it is like pulling teeth for
Congress to appropriate any thing for the
removal Of the Raft, and to Congressman,
Red River is harder road to travel than
JOrdGn.
We trust that Col. Gilmer will immedi-
ately submit his plan to the Secretary Of
War. and that our citizens, generally, will
take such an active interest in the matter,
asto secure speedy and efectual application
Of the amount which is thus, after SO hard
a struggle, allowed to be applied to the i'm
provement of navigation around the Raft

Az American Trait.

The following from the ''Boston Daily
MALI is a good sketch of live Yankees
love Of motion. He il just about as fond
Of politics, and considers himself wherever
he travels fully competent to enlighten the
world on the subject of government He
shows himself as sample of the vigor Of
bis political principles to every nation under
the sun, and can only be satisfied at home
whilst tie excitement of al election lasts.
The MALI says
"IIe is the most restless person in the
world, and i never 70 happy a. when he il
going somewhere else" This uneasy dis-
position runs through all the various grades
Of society. and sticks OUT a. prominently
in the millionaire as in the plourhman.-
We al want to put ont ana sec thinrs-
not 50 much to better our condition as to
minister to our love of excitement and row
city. 4 friend Of ours has emig!ated eiclit
times i'll four years. he hrst went from
Connecticut to New York from New York:
