DeA. The Mississippi River extends
2,l00 miles from the frozen regions of the
North to the South, and with the Mis-
souri, River, is 1850 miles in length. 1t
would reach from New York across the
Atlantic Ocean, or from France to Turkey
and the Caspian sea. Its average depth
is fifty feet, and its width over half
mile. The foods are more than a month
travelling from its source to its delta.--
The trappers can exchange the furs of
animals caught by them on the upper
Mississippi for the tropical fruits gather
cd on the banks below. The total value
of steamers ahoat on the river and its
tributaries, is more than S60,000,000,
numbering 600 boats, with more than
twice the steamboat tonnage of Eng
land. 1t drains an area of 100000
square miles, and washes the shores of
twelve powerful States. In one single
reservoir at Lake Pepin, between Wis
consin and Minnesota, $500 miles from
the sea, the navies of the world might
ride at anchor.

Seizure of the New Orleans Mint.

hSAouA VI tuO NCW OIltduo nlut.
Some ten days ago. it is stated in let
ter from this city, "Mr. Secretary Dix
gave to Adams Express Company a draf,
on the Assistant Treasurer of New Or
leans, for the purpose of transferring the
coin and bullion from the Branch Mint
in that city to the Mint in Philadelphia.
The amount of the draft was three hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars. Three
days ago he received despatch from
Adams agent in New Orleans stating that
the amount would be delivered in two or
three days, but that the Assistant Trea-
surer declined to delivers part, assigning
as a reason that the wished to pay the
entire draft at once. The Secretary i'm
mediately teleglaphed to the Treasurer
to pay TO the Express agent on thai day
as large an amount as the agent could
transport. The coin and bullion are
chiefly silver, weighing several tons. On
Saturday last the Secretary received
despatch from the Express Company in
forming him that the Assistant Treasurer
refused to pay any portion of the draft,
and that the Branch Mint had been la
ken possession OF by the authorities of
the State of louisiana. These circum-
stances clearly indicate deliberate contri.
vance on the part of the State authorities
to get possession of the money in the
Mint. This action on their part is uni
versally condemned, and is regarded by
the Government as one of the most high
handed and outrageous transactions that
has yet been perpetrated. The Govern
ment, being without any official knowl-
edge respecting this matter, Immediately
talegraphed to the Collector and Treasu-
rer to know the facts connected with this
seizure. Up to late hour on Saturday
evening no reply had been recved."

Too Coon TO BE LosT.-Gov. Andrew, of
Massachusetts,, is in hot water about his
military order intended to menace the
South. Among many letters of remon-
STRANGE from patriotic military men in
the State, is one from Capt. Charles II.
Manning, of the Salem Artillery. He
says;
They, the Salem Light Artillery, are
now filled with astonishment at the alac-
rity with which Massachusetts offers her
services in the work of war against her
brethren. That she who, swept on by
political rancor, proposed to shut up her
arsenals and her store-horse, and bury
every military ensign in the dusty seclu-
sion of deserted armories, while foreign
foe was sweeping our seas, destroying our
towns, and devastating our fields-that
should now rush to arms against those of
her fellow-citizens who ask Tor position
equal with her own under the conledera-
ton, i as strange and unnatural rs that
National madness which vents itself in
the horrors Of civil strife. That she who
denounced and deted the Union, while
it was ! the hands Of her political oppo-
nents, should now be eager to fight for
It's preservation, is somewhat significant.

Free Navigation of the Mississippi.

The st. Louis Democrat is dissatisfied
with the resolution adopted by the Loui-
siana Convention Recognising the right
Of the free navigation OF the Mississippi
river for commercial purposes, for the
reason that such guarantee is utterly
vauless, inasmuch as tits not applicable
except in time of peace. The Democrat
adds:
mo reader will fail to notice that the
Convention which adopted the foregoing
resolution acted on the assumption that
Mississippi has sovereign territorial rights
over the river. Such an assumption in
wolves not only the right of each State
occupying its bank to blockade the river,
but lay such duties on vessels descending
or ascending as such State shall deem ex
pedient. Any declaration at this time to
refrain from exercising eright can have
no weight. The conclusion is, therefore,
irresistible that the only way to maintain
the character OF the Mississippi as an
open inland sea is to preserve the Union.
The perpetuation Of the latter is the only
way in which peace between the several
States can be perpetuated. The people
of the interior OF the Mississippi valley are
practically shut out from the ocean so
long as q foreign jurisdiction, or success
sion of foreign Jurisdictions, interpose be-
tween them and the mouths Of the great
river. Missouri s so situated that she
can never recognise the right OF any
State to interrupt her communications
with the seaboard."
