The success Of the military canal across thr

Viclshurg an inland town, depends upon the
formation which tho excavation shall lay

valley bottom, or sub:soil, as shown in the
very thorough and ehbora1e report of the

In this clay the river flows. Its bed is as solid
as rock. Centuries of wear make no impress

The Legislature re-assembIed to- day, after
temporary adjournment Of FIVE days. Both
Houses have nearly full complement of
members. Quite an amount Of new business
was introduced. The morning was chiefly
occupied By the Senate, in Committee Of the
Whole on the proposition to appropriate ten
thousand dollars for the relief Of sick and
wounded Michigan soldiers, and the appoint
