possible to trace the features sufficiently, d
detect any marks about the person, which
might lead TO its Identification. The flesh OF
both arms and one leg was entirely oil. NcaI

WHIT HOLIDAYS We were much pleased Il
see that amid the gloom which generally pre-
walls at the distracted state OF our country
our population took advantage Of the recent
holidays TO enjoy themselves. The negroes,
also, (happy souls y doomed up largely, in
their usual style, by holding pic-nics, &c.
designating them by the ouphonious names OF
Union and Socesh, each party discussing the
merits and prospects of their favorite themes
with much gusto. Although the former were
more numerously attended, and much conf
dence was manifested in the ability Of Massa
Abe to squash de rebellion; the latter were
equally tenacious in their opinions that AIassa
jeff wouldn't allow it TO be did, 10 how.
Every thing passed off in good order, how
ever, much to the especial qualification OF our
recently appointed worthy bailif
STRucK By LIGHTNING. "A hay stack, on the
farm Of Mr.. Henry Harding, near this place
was struck by Lightning on Saturday night
last and consumed.

In the House, On Thursday, the great
project now received as the prominent
military and commercial measure demand
ed by the West, Of ship canal connecting
the lakes with the Mississippi, was formally
presented in the important bill reported bv
Colonel frank P. Blair, Chairman Of
the Committee On Military Affairs. The
basis Of the measure is enlargement Of the
present Illinois and Michigan Canal from
the South Branch Of the Chicago River for
its entire length Of 100 miles, opening the
channel into the Illinois River for vessels
drawing six feet Of water. The bill OF Mr..
Blair provides that the State Of Illinois
shall convey to the United States perpet-
ua1 lease Of the L & II. Canal, when
VIM. H Swift, one Of the trustees Of the
canal, and an engineer appointed from tie
United States Typographical Corps, are to
prepare plan Of enlargement Of the canal
and river between Chicago and the Missis.
sippi, 50 that gunboats and other vessels
drawing six feet of water may pass
through it from the Mississippi to the 1akes.
One million dollars is appropriated for the
commencement Of the work, twenty thou
sand Of which may be expended in the
surveys and other preliminary Labor. The
bill provides that when the tolls Of the
canal shall have reimbursed the United
States Government for the cost Of the I'M
provement, it shall be relineu;shed to the
State Of Illinois. A great auxiliary to our
Northern defcnses in case Of g war with

Many . parent s heart will sJmpatlilsc with
President Lincoln, to whose anxiety On Ma
tiona1 affairs Is now superadded the grief Of &
family bereavement in the loss Of favorits
son. The exprcsslonfw use Understandings
for the lad was Of such IN age, and had eShih-
tied euch traits Of mind as to attach him
closely to his father. The Presidents three
sons were Robert, an Undergraduate at Har~
yard College; William, the deceased and Thom-
as the youngest, aud now recovering from
dangerous Illness This last, By the way, has
prefix and childish nickname that will en-
danger his place in history, since we notice
the Washington reporters arc calling him
Thaddeu=. Many HIInoisans and carly friends
Of the Lincoln family, Will have no difficulty
in recognizing the origin Of the mistake, since
ssTad u has been frequently his fathel's tray
ing companion in his circuit practice in this
State. It was simply playful nickname given
to the youpgstcr, almost to the suppEantlnss
Of his rea name. William, the second son Of
eleven years, now deceased, was lad Of more
than usual promise. He was thoughtful and
studious beyond his years, and already had
displayed promise Of literary ability. few
dn5s after the battle Of Bali's Bluff, the lad
came into the Office OF the Washington r.
pabztea. and presented for insertion a poetica1
tribute to the 1amentcd Col. Baker, which ap-
peared in the following issue Of the paper. It
was done at lis Own instance and consulting
70 one, and the piece was more than credita~
bic in the taste and feeling exhibited by wri-
ter Of his years. The White House for the
first time has been opened for ehill's funer-
al Under memorable circumstances The H.
ton will mourn with the Presidents family in
their bereavement, for the mou1ners are seat
tered throughout the land, and in many house

D The Senatorial question continues to

yet, any indication Of the result. The Wade
men arc moro numerous than any other, and
though not in the majority, hold tho balance Of
power. As the Legislature Will probably hold
q second session next winter, and as the new
1868, the partlzans OF Ar. Wade have been
earnest to postpone the election until another
year, and it is an even chance if they do not
succeed. They hope to be able to re~elect Mr..
