The SuexCanaI.

According to accounts received from
Mr.. D. A. LANCE, the Suez Canal works
continue to be pushed with vigor The
breakwater at Port Said, which presented
some difficulties, is now completed, and
vessels are able to discharge their cargoes
in all weather The jetty is being con-
tinued. Between the breakwater and the
shore there remains about 1900 yards to
fill up, and the cargoes Of large stone
blocks daily sunk in the sea from the
quarries at Mex are sensibly diminishing
this distance. On land the progress in
excavating the canal is alleged to be
greater than is generally imagined. 49,
900 men are engaged along the line, and
the average quantity of earth removed is
about $50, 900 cubic yards per month -
1t is expected, therefore, that the work
will soon be sufficiently advanced to allow
the waters Of the Mediterranean to flow
into the basin Of Lake Timsah. Mean
while, town is being constructed at Tim
sab, and workmen are employed in lay Z
down the foundations for the quays in
tended for vessels to load and unload
The inland port of Timsah is to serve as
coaling and watering station for vessels
passing through the canal also for re-
Eictualiag, repairing and caresning. The
stores along the different stations contain
sufficient provisions to feed 30, 900 men.
Lately regular direct line Of steamers
has been organized between Alexandra.
Port Said and Marseilles. The first trial
took place on the ed Of June, by the
steamer Bizaatin, and she unloaded $50
tons of merchandise at Port Said in twelve
hours, although the weather was bolster

Resisting tho Draft.

In an excellent article Oh the draft, the
Rev. T. Purcell addresses him, eli as fol-
lows to the Irish Catholics Of Cincinnati
and the State:
"lf you are drafted, go you must. We
have heard OF some foolish, some very
foolish men, protestlns that they would
resist the draft Let them try it, and
they will find that the war is no child
play. Let them try that game, and they
will soon be brought to their proper sem
SEES. The man who talks of resisting the
draft deserves scant mercy. Its the same
as if your house was on fire, and your
neigbbor would cut the hose, SO that the
water could not reach the burning build
ing. Our whole country Is in danger
our liberties are in danger-and you will
resist the draft, will ycu7 II you do, you
will forever regret it.
" We have said, also, that some Irish
citizens in the interior of the State, mis-
led by cunning politicians and other per-
sons, have declared that they would resist
the draft. We do not believe it, There
must be some mistake in this. We are
engaged 10 war which may be said to
be an Irish war-because it is a war Of
shareholders against white labor, 1t is an
iish war, because it is every day reduc-
lng tie power of England, destroying her
trade, filling her cities with paupers, and
threatening her with irreparabie ruin.
eve have captured already her best
iron-b built mercantile navy, and she
dare not declare war. The capture of Can
ada will soon foilow-it must follow, as a
necessity, and England can do nothing.
