upon the wharves of Europe, and with a
profit 10 the raiser. However, then, we
improve and cheaper transportation, just
incorporation we permit development
OF the country, and an extension of com.
merce beyond present limits and just 50
much we advance the value of products
within interme iate limits. The cheap
ness OF transportation on the Erie canal
was gradual, and arrived at by increase
in the tonnage of boats, thus cheapenirg
the comparative expenses of a trip. The
average tonnage of boats on the canal,
the past year, was 1863. With boats of
500 or 1000 tons. the expense would be
diminished in the same ratio. A water
communication, then, that would enable
produce TO pass up or down the Mississ-
ippi up the Illinois, and through canal
TO the Lakes, and thence by Lake and
canal to the seaboard, in vessels of large
capacity, transhipped but once, or prob
ably not at all, must prove wonderful
economy in our interior commerce, and
would have the effect to enhance prices
here in the Mississippi basin, and to ex-
tend that commerce to regions beyond
where 1t now proves profitable. The set
clement, growth, and prosperity Of the
Mississippi valley, therefore, seems in
timately connected with this project, and
probably no enterprise Of the day is so
pregnant With important results to the
country, as this. 1t is to be hoped that
not even the present great drafts upon
the National treasury, will prompt Con
gress TO decide unfavorably upon the
recommendation Of the Military commit
lee and the committee on Roads and
Canals of the House, both of which
strongly declare the necessity of prompt
measures in carrying out the project.

THis bill which is now under considera-
tion in Congress-, provides that actual set
tiers, citizens Of the United States, or any
pcreon who has served in qucling the
rebellion, 10 matter what his age or natiou-
olity, shall be entitled TO its benefits so
that any one desiring to settle on the public
domain can take onc hundred and sixty
acres. by complying with the provisions Of
the BILL which requires The payment Of the
Land Office fees, aud ten dollars to cover
expenses Of the survey. In order to give
the soldier an opportunity to avail himself
of the advantages to be secured by this
measure at as carly day as any ono else, it
is proposed to fix future day for the act
TO take effect, say on the FIRST of January
next. In addition to the advantages of this
act, the soldier will receive one hundred
dollars bounty at the close of the service,
which has already been provided by the
Government.
We arc inclined TO look favorably upon
this bill, in it's present shape. While ample
provision is made for ul the soldiers, who
desire to mako themselves home on the
public domain, an ciiectual check is put to
speculation in land warrants. which would
be sold, perhaps, Tor mere song, without

TuE Inauguration of the Chief officers of
the Southern Conicdcwcy, according to the
authority of rebel papers, was grand
affair. The ceremonies, it seems, took
place upon a platform, erected for the pur-
pose, against the East front of the Wash
ington monument" Upon this was perched
the majestic form" OF jeff, who is reported
to have said, con this, the birthday of the
man most identified with the establishment
of American Independence, and beneath the
monument erected to commemorate his
heroic virtues, and those of his compatriots
We have assembled The platform is de-
scrIbed as extending from the pedestal in
front of the statue OF Mason. to that in
front of Jefferson This monument is said
to be one of the nobest works of art in
America OF the great subject, and
of the distinguished artist, Crawford. who
designed and partially executed the work.
The main figure is colossal equestrian
statue of Washington. Around it, upon
subordinate pcdestals, are statues of life
szo Of jefferson, Henry, Mason, and others
--Nirginia's sons in the period when she
produced heroes and statesmen of honest
ronown. This.monument was designed TO
commemorate 10 postcrity genuine heroism,
and patriotic devotion. The shadow, yea.
the very steps OF that noble monumental
structure, were chosen as the place OF in-
uguratng Government founded upon the
overthrow of that which those great men
organized, and having as its cornerstone p
that Slavery, which they, one and all, alb
horrcd. 1t was in the presence of the ell
gics of the founders Of the national govern
mont, that these arch-conSpirators chose
for displaying before the world their formal
organization for its overthrow, and their
formal organization of slave empire
What a contrast with the deeds and ut
torauccs of Washington, who said, .It is
my most ardent wish TO see somo plan of
emancipation adopted in Nmgmia; ;" also
with the immortal words of Jefferson, who
said, Z" Uombc for my country, when |
remember that God is Just, and that Justice
can not sleep forever--tho Almighty has no
attribute that could take sides with us in
such contests" and Mason quite another
from him of that name who figures now 81
who declared in the most forc,ble language
/ the dangerous and corruptmg tendencies of
slavery in ita effects upon the white race
and Patrick Henry, whose exclamation of
Give me liberty, or give me death still
/ rings in the patriotic ear, and who ever
/ bore testimony no less emphatic against
that system 10y which Virginia makes men
and women one of her two staple crops for
the market. Regarding the whole scene
together, one might have almost expected
the spirits of the mighty dead to utter aud,
ihle rebuke through the bronze lips of the
statues erected TO the memory of honored
patriots.

Hon. Jas. NJ. Ashley, from the House Com
lnittee on Territories, has reported bill to
establish temporary Provisional Government
over districts Of country in rebellion against
the United States, which the Senate Terri
torial Committee concurs in. The Bj1de Of
Saturday reviews this bin at some length,
and, OF course, finds much fault with its
general provisions These faults, we are
inclined to think, however, exist more in
the Imagination of the editor than in the
bill itself. The provisions of the bill as we
understand them, agreo very nearly with
what the Biacie is pleased TO call the policy
OF the Administration, as will be seen by
the following synopsis:
Section frstrequires the President to take
possession of and occupy rcbellious dis
tricts, establish and protect with military
and naval forces. temporary civil govern

them shall form IA new State Government
