late United States Minister to Mexico, is announced
Gen. Gadsden was born in Charleston, in May l7SS,
graduated at ale College, and afterwards obtained
a Lieutenancy of Engineers. He joined the army
at Sacketts Harbor, where extensive preparations
were in progress for the invasion of Canada, and
remained in service till the close of the war, after
which he selected to Join General Jackson as
an Engineer, to examine and report the military
defences of the Gulf of Mexico frontier. In few
hours after, on introduction and interview General
Jackson rendered him the situation near his person
confidential Aid de Camp, and they Immediately
proceeded to the execution of the military recon
nosance imposed. The next season Lieut.. Gadsden
was the first American Engineer selected to review
these examinations in cooperation with General
Bernard, and to report system of defence for the
Gulf
He accompanied Gen. Jackson in the Seminole
War; bore very conspicuous part in the arrest of
Arbuthnot and Ambrister, and planned the ap-
proaches to Pensacola ana established the batteries
which forced Gov. Masset to surrender He subse-
quently became Inspector General, and was trans
ferred from that position to the office of Adutant-
General. Under a commission from Mr.. Monroe,
he accomplished treaty for removing the Seminole
Indians from middle to southern Florida and I'M
dertOOk exploration of the peninsula He
the first white man who ventured to cross a low
parallel of latitude from the Atlantic to the Gulf
shore through those ungles, glades fastnesses and
swamps, which afterwards became the theatre of
many disasters, and of General Taylors early and
successful achievements in the field. General Jack
wished to give him the position held by Gen.
Bernard at the head of the Board of Engineers,
and vacated by that officer his return to France
but AS he eoncurred with the Military Committee
that the invitation to Bernard to take temporary
service in the American army was not intended to
create such office the General filed he volun-
tarily relnquished all claim to the nomination.
His last public act of Importance, the negota-
tion of the "Gadsden Treaty" with Mexico. Under
its provisions, the boundary line between the two
countries was definitely settled, Commission was
appointed to survey the line, and the 9th and 7th
articles of the Treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo were
abrogated; Mexico granting the free navigation of
the Colorado River and the Gulf of California; and
in consideration of the stipuatons agreed upon on
the part of Mexico, the United States guaranteed
the payment to the Mexican Government of the sum
of ten millions of dollars. Mr.. Gadsden, since his
retirement from diplomatic life has taken no active
part in national affairs.

THE SUEz CANAL-Late accounts from France
state the subscriptions for the purpose of making
this Canal had closed, and that the success met with
exceeded all expectation. The demand for shares
exceeded the number apportoned to France The
subscribers to small sums number not less than ten
thousand, and so great appears to be the excite
that the porters of Marseilles three thousand
subscribed en- masse. Those of Toulon and also the
workmen in the arsenals have done likewise
Napoleon, when in Egypt had the line of the
route OF the old canal from SueZ to the Nile sup
posed to have been built by the Pharaohs, survey
ed. The Commission reported in favor of restoring
this route in preference to a direct one as
the level Of the Red Sea was at that time supposed
to be thirty feet higher than that of the Me
diterranean. BY later surveys, however, it was
discovered that the level of the two seas was
nearly identical; and since this discovery, the pro-
ject of making ship canal over the Isthmus has
been considered perfectly feasible. The route now
proposed is that of NJ. Lessep. 1t runs from Suez
through the Bitter Lakes and Lake Temsah to the
Bay OF Tineh. The objections which appear to
have been made to it, are the alleged defective con-
dlons offered at the termini regarding the facili-
ties for constructing the necessary harbors and the
dangers there would be of the channels becoming
filled up with sand or mud 1t is now stated that
though there will be no danger of the channels he
ing filled up with mud from the Nile, vet there is
some from the lateral motion of the sand alone the
coast which takes place during heavy storms
ms can DE o0Vlated by running out etties to the
point where the sand ceases and the mud bottom
begins. These, at the northern terminus wouId be
some 5000 yards in length, leaving between them
channel 400 yards in width; and at the southern
terminus they would be only half the length The
length OF the Canal would be about 72 miles the
width from 100 to l30 yards, and the depth about
"a feet.
There have been objections made different times
by England in relation to the Canal because it was
brought forward as a French scheme She was
naturally unwilling that great highway like this
should be controlled by any one power. We have
maintained that the transit routes should be kept
open to all nations, and certainly Englandi ustia
Die In the position she has taken regarding the Suez
Canal. 1t was the determination on her part to
render this route highway for all nations that led
her to seize the island of Perrin, and though her
right to have acted thus may be questioned still we

joint resolution giving vote of thanks to Captain
Sam. G. Reid, the hero of the battle of Fayal, in
the gallant fight which he made in command of the
private armed brig General Armstrong, in 1914
for having made and designed the present flag of
the United States. The design of Capt. Reid was
adopted in committee, and the bill passed Congress
on the 4th of April, 1918. The new flag, as de-
signed by Capt. Reid, was made at his house, in
New York, by his wife and a number of young la
dies, and first hoisted over the hall of the
House of Representatives the 18th of April 1878

CHRISTMAS ON BLAcKwELL'S IsLAND.-The inmates
of the New York City Lunatic Asylum ON Black
wells Island celebrated the day in a musical and
theatrical entertainment. The patients number
about seven hundred. Most ofthese were present.
The first floor of the beautiful rotunda occupied
by the males. The females seated in the first
gallery, and in the hall leading from this was the
stage. The second gallery occupied by the
audience par excellence, which, though it numbered
but few, represented "our best society" High
above all others, in the third gallery, stood "The
Queen" dressed in white, relieved with scattered
figures of animals in high eoors. She afterwards
passed through the crowd as the ''Virgin Mary"
AS the entertainment about to commence ''Mrs.
Buchanan" came in leaning upon the arm of Gov
ernor Benz jamin +. Pinckney. This lady is not as
democratic would be expected. As soon as the
Governors attention was drawn away she left the
audience. She afterward apoogized for this by
saying that "she out of her sphere there's people
must associate with congenial SPIRITS besides her
sick child Pierre Soule, required her attention"
After the distribution of fruit and confectionery
the curtain rose. The first performance was to
have been quartette, but the bass man refused to
sing AS the patients are never punished his freak
allowed full vent, while his companions acted
their parts as best they could.
''When the Swallows Homeward Fly" was then
sung with good effect by Madame -. A good
performance on the piano bya German, who speaks
twelve languages, followed.
As the curtain rose for the "German Drinking
Song" Governor Pinckney happened to be near
the stage. The performers saw him, and compelled
him to join them around their jovial board This
exposure to many lunatics would have tested the
courage of some men, but the Governors good ma
ture shielded him. Governor VIM. 7. Pinckney ap-
peared also to be favorte with the patients. Al
together, this good representation Of the fes-
tive at the universities of the Fatherland
some of the spectators could testify.
Next came fancy dance by two ladies, apparent
ly young, dressed in red and white. "Sir Charles"
a colored orator, then gave an extemporaneous ad-
dress, which elected great applause The enter
tanment closed with an exhibition of the magic
lantern. The scenes were chiefly of objects in ma
tural history, the customs of different nations and
comcal adventures of men and animals.
