WASHINGTON, April 28.-Mr. Arnold, from
the Committee on Roaas and Canals, reported
! in favor of the bill for the enlargement of the
Illinois and Michigan canal The report states
that the work has been more than half compile
ted by the State Of Illinois. She having expen-
ded thereon over six Millions The canal has
been in operation since 1913, and now yields an
annual revenue of about 2 600, 900 dollars. This
will be greatly increased by the enlargement Of
the Illinois river az proposed. The State of IL
Iinois offers this canal and its revenue to the
United States on condition that Congress will
provide the means of eniargipg it, so as to pass
gunboats from the Lakes TO tho Mississippi -
This will place us on on equality with Great
Britain, that power being able by her canals to
pass by war vessels from the Ocean to the lakes
The report, in view Of I'll, fact, that by the
treaty the United States is prohibited from
building or maintaining armed vessels on the
Lakes, urges the necessity and Importance OF
the immediate enlargement Of this canal by
which the gunboat feet on the Mississippi could
be passed through to the lakes. had this me
dun of communication been open at the be-
ginning Of the rebellion, the 1900 vessels and
10 900 sailors now shut up on the Lakes, would
have been at the disposal of the Government.
The saving to the Treasury during the past year
would have been vastly more than the cost OF
the contemplated work. tne3
The committee believe its income will more
than pay the interest on its cost, and ultimate
sly pay the entire investment.

frmed a large number of military nominations,

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The President has
received special dispatch to night from source
altogether different from that through which the
Information came yesterday of the fall of New
Orleans, confirming the same.
The news from the Department of the Rap
pahannock is important. Our forces have not
yet occupied Frelericksburgh bu. stay at Fal
mouth, on the opposite side of the river.
Information recently received renders it pref
ty certain that there is large rebel force in the
neigtborhood ready to dispute Gen. McDowelPs
progress toward Richmond. Report places this
force under the command of Gen. G. A Smith

The confrmatory news Of the occupation of
New Orleans by the Union forces, has Just been
received. 1t removes very materially, the doubts
which have existed in the minds OF some as to
the entire reliability Of the rebel kilograms
There is reason to believe there has been
discussion at the Treasury Department, respect
ing the policy of raising the blockade OF South
ern ports, as they come into possession of the
Union forces. We are assured by gentleman
who is in constant communication with the Gov
eminent, that there is little doubt that the
