On the Death of Capt. Tho.. nlarsnali.

On the Death of Capt. Thos. Marshall.
Thou art gone the gay, the free,
The manly, frank and bold
The heart which once beat mefrily,
Is cheerlsss now and cold;
Insatiate deaths relentless hand
Hath whelm'd thee in foreign land
Far from thy home, beyond the sea,
Is buried what remains of thee
No anxious friend hadst thou there
To ease thy throbbing breast,
Nor wife's lips, with hallow'd prayer,
To calm thy soul to rest
No son pressed thy dying hand,
Nor daughter, with attention bland,
To mitigate the tyrant's power
And soothe thee in thy dying hour.
For thee was tolpd no funeral knell,
For thee no requiem arose,
No sculptured marble is there to tell
The place of thy abode;.
Perhaps some stranger shed tear
While sadly looking on thy bier,
And weep thy lot, that thou shouidst roam
To die so far from friends and home.
Peace to thy names in friendships breast
Is still place for thee,
And tho no more, yet should'st thou rest
Enshrined in memory.
Whilst all who mark'd thy course on earth
Will bear true record of thy worth,
And weep thy lot that thou should's st roam
To die so far from friends and home. :

The Mouths of the Mississippi.

Messrs. Craig and RICHTER, with whom a contract
was made by the War Department, for deepening the
channels of the mouths of the Mississippi river,
preparing to commence their work Immediately. The
contract requires that the work on the two Passes
shall be completed in ten and fifteen months, respec
lively, from the 18th of November last-for which
the contractors are to receive 1925 600 After that
they keep the channels open for four years and
a half, at the rate of $4,000 per annum. The New
Orleans Delta says:
"The passes widen they debauch into the Gulf
and bars are formed at their mouths Just above the
bar it is proposed to establish twclbreakwaters, on
each side, announcing at each bank and converting
towards the centre until within three thousand feet
of each othar, the proposed width of the channel,
though the contract req ures only three hundred feet
width. These breakwaters 10 be composed of
piles. The aperures between the piles, though not
sufficient to effect the current will be large enough
TO admit deposits, which will gradually form bank
to still strengthen the breakwaters. Three miles
above the breakwater ia the Southwest Pass the
bal ks are. say three thousand feet apart, and the
channel forty feet deep The breakwaters, it is
calculated by centralizng the current will have near
ly the effect if the width three miles above
was continued down TO the end of The breakwaters
which extend into the bar, the outer side of which
the water is over fifty feet deep. This would neces
sarily remove the bar, making channel of more
than twenty feet dep and three thousand feet wide
| and washing the mud out into such a depth that i
| would DE long before new bar would offer serious
obstruction
