BSy1 The Boonyille (Warrick county,
Democrat is in favor of the States making
loan to private company to repair the
Canal, if it be relinquished by the Bond
holders. 1t says: 1850 7f q
To abandon the work now, would be
gross injustice to this portion of the State.
1t is generally conceded by those who pro-
fess TO understand the operation of these
works, that if the affairs of the lower sec
ton of the canal were in the hands of a pri-
vate company it would and could be man
aged so as to pay. How this is we of course
know nothing only as we are told by those
who have had some experience in such mat
tiers. We know this, that the canal, if kept
in repair and were navigable the whole year
round, would be of incalculable advantage
to the Northern and Northwestern portion
of our country Millersburgh has become
an important point for shipping, and could
the canal be relied upon, it would become q
very considerable mart of trade. We hope
those interested and who understand the
matter will take it in hand, should the bond
holders abandon the lower section, and try
what can be done with it. We are unaltera-
bly, opposed to the State intermeddling with
the canal in any shape or fashion, even If
the bondholders should propose to make her
gift OF it from the Northern to the South
ern end. We are satisfied she could do
nothing with it. that lazy officials would
steal its earnings. and perhaps might steal

no longer friends, and that the New Y ork
Tribune was against Seward. The Tribune
part is true. The Tribune is against Seward
but not Mr.. Greedy. He is now, as he al
ways has been, Stewards fast friend. Gree
ley has lost the control of the Tribune, and
is much annoyed at its present course
Some years ago, you will recollect, Greeley
and McElrath converted the Tribune into
stock company, they retaining one-half of
it, which gave them virtually its control
Things went ON very we'll until Mr. NOEL
rath, who conceded with Mr.. Greeley in its
management, was compelled to sell out
His interest was purchased by parties ad-
verse to Greeley, and ne thus lost control of
the paper. An article soon after appeared
in the Tribune very offensive to Greeley, in
timating that his individuality was no longer
essential to the paper. 1t is said that Gree
ley will soon dispose of his interest in the
Tribune and, in conjunction with his old
partner, McElrath, start new paper, to be
called Greeley's Tribune. The new paper,
it is said, will be Seward concern.

THE SUEz RALRoAD-One of the great
events of the day is the completion of
Railroad from the Red Sea over the deserts
to the Nile, and thence to the Medeterra-
mean shore. On the Sd of December the

road from Suez to Alexandria, ON the Med
iterranean, in eleven hours, stopping one
hour at Cairo to dine. The road is an ex-
cellent one and said to be admirably man.
aged. A heavy freight of silks and India
goods came over in the first train, and it is
thought that it will become one of the
chief avenues of trade between Europe and
India in all the most valuable articles of
merchandise; thus restoring theron which
trade with the East followed when Venice
and other cities of Italy were the chief
marts of the India trade. What change
is passing over the East where the slow and
laborious journey of the caravans, over the
deserts, are giving way to the rushing trains,
propelled by the iron horse, and the passage
of tedious and suffering days is reduced to
as many hours.

Fremont AND THE QUARTZ MINERs.--
letter from California saws:

Fremont AND THE QUARTZ MINERs.-A
letter from California says:
e Fremont is having trouble in Mariposa.
he has been employing an army of fifty men,
armed with rifles and revolvers, to guard a
certain valuable quartz claim, of which he
has at last got possession. The local papers
there fire away at him right and left and
the whole population of Mariposa are incon-
tinently "down" on him. A case was late
ly decided in his favor, after which the
County Sheriff elected the occupants, and
placed Fremont in possession He has got
a long and wearisome fight before him. and
can only get possession of his whole claim
by piecemeal. The whole claim is now es-
timated as worth intrinsically SIS, 900, 900 !;
but it is pretty well divided up. C. X. Gar
rison, Esq, the celebrated steamship COM
modore of Nicaragua notoriety, has purchas-
ed quarter interest, though of course not
at the above valuation, and it is thought that
the two will eventually manage to secure
possession. Garrison has more, nerve and
decision of character about him than a
dozen Fremonts.

REPORTS FROM WAsHINGToN.-Letters from
Washington say:
Judge Douglas came here predetermined

by his political associates, so that they toll
crate his return to party. Hence he has not
ventured to lisp one word of rebuke. For
his deposition from the Craftsmanship on
Territories, or to take issue with the Admin

the Illinois canvas. More than this, he has
calmly born the repetition of gross indigni-
ty from Mr.. Slidell with the full knowledge,
too, that it was intended to be personal.
VIM. S. McCarty, Senator from Indiana,
arrived last night. Proceedings will be i'm
mediately instituted against Messrs. Bright
and Fitch, the Senatorial squatters.
The evidence already attained by Govern
ment and some of which it has not been
considered prudent to communicate to Con-
gress, leaves no doubt whatever but that
the Africans imported into Georgia were
transported by the Wanderer. The effort
to produce another impression was only a
deception designed to confuse the public
mind. While the sentiment in South Caro-
lima is very emphatic on this subject, there
is not much probability that Corrie and his
confederates will be pushed. The poor sail
ors may suffer, but the men who fobbed a
quarter of million in this criminal VEN
ture have the means of escaping the penalty
of law, though they cannot evade that Of
Tended Justice which must have looked
down from its high sanctuary with offended
wrath, provoked by the slaughter of over
eighty of these poor Africans who were
consigned to watery grave, the victims of
that diabolic traffic. -LsEE zEEs
