FoRr WAYNE AND CHICAGO RAiLRoAD: -
We learn from good authority that the Fort
Wayne and Chicago railroad will be so far
completed as to finish connection between
these cities this fall. The iron has all been
purchased and is now arriving, part of it at
New York and part direct from Europe, via
Canada, to this port. The grading is in a
fine state OF forwardness, and the company
will be ready for portion of the iron as
soon as it can be taken 10 Fort Wayne
This road when completed will furnish us
a connection with Chicago nearer than the
one we now have by the Michigan Southern
road and it is said but eight miles further
than by the Air Line road. For travel, II
will furnish a valuable, competing route,
and might also for freight, were 1t not that
the tracks are not Of the same gauge. Ii
passes through rich, well cultivated coun-
try, and will bring large amounts OF produce
to Fort Wayne which will be shipped by
canal to this place. 1t may also divert a
small amount Of travel and freight to other
channels, but on the whole the influence OF
the road will be highly favorable to our busi-
ness interests. = Toledo Rep.

SAur ST. MARIE CANAL.--This work is
now com pleted, and is said to be one of the
finest specimens of practical engineering in
the world. The canal is excavated for much
of its length, through solid rock, and where
the cutting was through earth the embank-
ments are faced with dressed stone. The
locks are two in number, combined in
action, and are questionably the finest
pieces of work in the country-and of course
in the world-as no other country can equa!
ours in canal engineering. These locks are
of cut stone, each $50 feet in length and 70
feet wide, with height of 25 feet. The
gates are supported somewhat after the fash
ION of the cables at the Niagara suspension
bridge, being diagonally braced with iron
straps, which are continued up to the apex,
and down the opposite sides of columns at
each flank; they are then embedded in
masonry to the depth of about IL feet, being
firmly keyed and held by bolts and con crete.
At point above the locks there is basin
for waiting vessels, and pier at the Supe-
rior extremity Of the canal extends into the
river for 900 feet. Everything is substan-
TALLY and faithfully built.

THE STATE OF OUR RELATIONS WITH
SpAIN-THE BLACK WARRIOR AFFAIR SET
rLEp.-In a recent debate in the Spanish
cortes, the minister of foreign affairs made
the following statement about the difficulty
between Spain and the United States:
"Thc government sees no Inconvenience
in communicating the document in question.
The affair of the Black Warrior is complete
ly terminated. Lively sensation of salts
faction. 1t has received a solution entirely
conformable to the honor of the two coun-
tries. The government would be, therefore,
the first interested in making the truth
known as soon as possible. Nevertheless, |
have 10 observe to the chamber that there is
still another affair pending, that of the Ell
Dorado, with which the two governments
are actively occupying themselves; the lat
ter is of much less important character,
and am able to assure the cortes beforehand
that it will also be regulated to our mutual
satisfaction The solution of which speak
will very speedily take place; |, therefore,
think it would be better to wait until then,
in order that the chamber may be able to
examine at once all the documents relative
to our negotiations with the United States.
The greatest ahxiety manifested in our coun-
try in relation to these affairs has reference
to the preservation of the island OF Cuba
At no price, and under no circumstances,
as have already stated, and repeatit here,
will we consent to the alienation Of the
island Of Cuba"

AS an Offset to the north, and the benefits
which the Shareholders think we derive from
foreign emigration, the Charleston Standard
very gravely proposes to abolish the law OF
congress forbidding and making piracy the
African slave trade. 1t is thought the free
and liberal Importation of slaves into the
south from Africa, will produce the same
prosperous effect upon the south that the
free emigration from Europe has upon the
north. OF course, this would be sad mis-
take, but it is now proposed as remedy for
the superior advancement of the free over
the slave states, in all the elements of ply
sical and moral wealth. When will our
southern brethren learn that slavery is really
the source, the cause Of all their evils 20.
