TRANSPORTATION PoR THE NoRruwFsr.-A
memorial has been addressed To the Governor.
General Of Cauads by the commissioners recently
appointed by the Governor of Illinois, in relation
to the necessity of enlarged and cheaper tide.
water outlets to the ocean for the products Of the
Northwest Arguments are presented in favor
Of so opening aud periectng the navigation of the
ST. Lawrence, as 10 afford to tho commerce Of
both counties cheap communication between
the shipping ports on the Northwestern lakes and
Great Britain TIE memorial says the North
west has arrived at point Of production beyond
any possible capacity for transportation which
can be provided, except by the great natural out
outlets. The railways and canals are over-erowd'
ed by the immense shipments Of produce. II n
urged that by improving the navigation Of the St
Lawrence frsights may be reduced thirty cent
per bushel, which would have the effect Of greatly
stimulating the production Of grain, and cheaper
its cost to English consumers.

In the letter from Gen. lIalleck !, the follow.
ing
! think no maR who has carefully observed
the course Of vents in the rebel States, since the
commencement Of thi, war, can now hops for any
other peace than that which is imposed by the
bayonet. The loyal States must conquer this re-
bellion, or it will conquer them. Loyal men Of
all parties, and all shades OF political opinion,
must unite in supporting the Government Of our
fathers, or consent to see the glory and integrity
Of this great nation utterly destroyed by rebels
aud traitors. This rebellion cannot be put down by
peaceful measures. Those who pretend to think
so are either madmen or traitors in disguise We
must either conquer or submit 10 terms dictated
by the southern oligarchy. The great North and
West, with their vastly superior numbers and
means, can conquer il they will &c, together. II
through factions and dssen.ons, they fail to do
this, they will stand forever dsgracsd in the opn
ion of the world, and will transmit that disgac,
TO their posterity We have already made i'm
mense progress in this war--a greater progress
than was ever before made under similar elreum
stances. Our armies are still advancing, andI
sustained by the voices OF the patriotic million
At home they will ere long crush the rebellion il
the South, and then place their heels upon tn
heads Of sneaking traitors in the North"
