Attempt 90 break the Canal-,-A party of
scOundreIs found in the act.

There is set of scoundrels, for whom hanging
would be light punishment, who have determined
to put an end Immediately TO the navigation of the
Erie Crua for the present season. On the night Of
Saturday week the bank of the canal, just west Of
PittsfLrd, was opened at point where accidental
break could have scarcely occurred, and delay Of
AZ hours occasioned thereby The canal authorities
received information that convinced them beyond
doubt that there was gang OF scoundrels who de-
signed TO make breeches in the banks and put stop
to navigation. Night watches were accordingly set
on the levels TO the eastward, at all those points
where break could be easily effected, and where it
would produce great damage.
Last night party of men were discovered on what
is known as the Big Embankment in the town of
Perrnon and were fired upon by some Of the watch
men. The rogues, however, made good their escape
but left traces of their work. They had commenced
an excavation in the embankment, and, if they had
not been seen Just they were, would have succeed
ed in their design The result of their vany would
have been the immediate closing of the navigation of
the Erie Canal for the season. The immense en-
bankment is made of sand, and channel once open
through the side, the whole would have been swept
away by the water like chaff before the wind The
damage resulting from such calamity would be in
calculabe. 1t would require months of time and tens
of thousands of money to replace the embankment !;
and the canal business would end just at the time
when it is most important and profitable, both to the
State, the boatmen and the public.

Col. Peter j. Sullivan

We published few days since an extract
from an Ohio paper, in which Colonel Sullivan
stated that he knew Colonel Fremont to be a
Catholic from his own knowledge. If we had
seen the article when our assistant inserted ii,
we should have mentioned the fact that our
personal knowledge of Col. Sullivan, for twelve
years, authorized us to give the fullest crc-
dence to his statements. He is an Irishman
by birth, and was a Catholic few years ago.
We knew him in St Louis and we knew him
here, and always respected him as a gentleman
Of truth, and of modest, unassuming demeanor.
We have the highest confidence in his state

The Surrender OF Burgoyne.

This day the anniversary OF this event will be duly
celebrated and in the most appropriate and brilliant
manner, at the scene of the surrender at Saratoga
Nothing could be more commend able than the spirit
which such demonstrations calculated TO kndle.
The action at Saratoga was one in which the fate not
only Of the State of New York but of all the Colonies
and our subsequent nationality was involved. The
forces of the Americans engaged in it were sgnif-
canty, too from all the different sections Of the coun-
try, and at this present moment when sectionalism
is so rampant it cannot it seems to us fail to have a
wholesome influence in recalling the common cause
Of fathers and our nationality when the blood OF
the venerated patriots, whether from the North or
the South achieved the basis Of that compact which
reckless politicians would hippantly let slide -
New York was indeed in obvious peril; and the re-
crrenee Of the anniversary Of October IL l77, may
well be made salutary commemorative of the duty
Of Americans, in the less sanguinary but equally mo-
mentous contests of our recurring campaigns.
