the public school in Twenty fourth street, was

Furnishing a four-year-old infant for neglect

MIssoURI.-The removal of w. W. Ed
wards from the Office of U. S. attorney for
the eastern district of Missouri, and the APP
pointment of j. N. Grover in his place, has
been announced. The reasons which led to
the removal OF Mr.. Edwards, who was one
of the radical delegation from this state,
which recently waited on the president, are
embraced in the following letter from the al
torney general
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE
Washington, Nov. g. 1862
w. w. EDWARDS, Esq., St Charles
SIR; our recent active participation in political
enterprises hostile to the known views and wishes
OF the executive government of both the nation and
state rendered it unfit, in my opinion. for you to
continue to hold the office of United States attorney
for the eastern district of Missouri Such being my
opinion, the president, at my request, has caused
your office to be vacated, and another to be appoint
ed in your stead. Yours,
EDWARD BATES, Attorney General.
The popular comment upon the action of
the executive in the case of Mr.. Edwards,
was his election, by four thousand majority,
to the Office of circuit judge, for which he
was the radical nominee. His successor,
Mr.. Grover. is reported to have expressed
entire disbelief in the efficiency of the pres
ident's proclamation of emancipation, and is
said to have voted the copperhead conserv-
alive ticket at the late election.-NeC York

The IMPORTANCE OF ONE MILK.-By con-
structing canal about three-fourths of mile
in length, from Big Stone Lake to Lake Traver,
steamboats, from St. Paul could navigate both
the Minnesota river and the Red river of tho
North to Lake Winnipeg, distance of seven
hundred miles The country travcrsed by
these rivers is surprisingly fertile, and capable
of sustaining dense population. Lake Win
nipeg is larger than Lake Ontario, and receives
the Sas- hatcha-wan river from the west. The
Sas katch-a-wan river is navigable to point
Edmonton House, near the Rocky Mountains,
seven hundred miles west of Lake Winnipeg
and only one hundred and fifty miles east of
the celebrated gold diggings on Frazer river, in
British Columbia. s-.l --e -s .sa
The digging of that one mile of canal would
therefore enable steamboat at New Orleans
to pass into Lake Winnipeg and from thence
to Edmonton House, some 5000 miles A bill
has been introduced into the Senate, which
makes provision for the building of the canal.
Probably il the world there cannot be found
a spot across which the digging of so short
canal would effect a result so prodigious. And,
what is almost equally remarkable, the ground
between the two lakes is so low and so level
that, it is said, the water flows in times of
freshets from one to the other Washington
Chronicle. .

The Richmond "whis >. ON she War.


The Richmond Wig of the 23d inst. thinks
the Federal campaigns in Virginia and North
Carolina are over for the winter, and takes the
following view of the future in the South and
Southwest:
Looking along the coast it is to be expected
that a determined effort will now be made to
retrieve on water something of the prestige
they have lost on land. Charleston, Savannah
and Mobile should hold themselves ready for
assault at any moment. The enemy know the
advantage they have in the powerful armament
and iron shields of their navy. They imagine
that the capture of the we'll known cities We
have named will give them not only substan-
tial advantages here, but great ecLat abroad.
The season is now propitieus, their immense
preparations are about completed, and the ext
gencies of their situation impel them to make
an instant and desperate effort. We cannot
foresee the result. We believe these cities will
be defended with valor and obstinacy that
will give them glorious name in history,
whether they stand or fall and We believe
that if the enemy take them, they will take
only heaps of ruins. But we fervently pray
that they may be able to beat back the de-
stroyer, and preserve themselves alike from the
glorious fate of self destruction, and the in.
glorious one of passing under the yoke of
Yankee masters.
blc Rosecrans delays his advance but the
accounts from that direction assure us that he
will soon be forced to fight, retreat, or be shut
up and besieged in Nashville. He has now a
Confederate General opposed to him who is
not patient under delays, and who will not
suffer him to spend the winter quietly in the
capital of Tennessee.
From Mississippi if we must credit an Au-
gusta contemporary, there is nothing encourag-
ing. The contest there is enveloped in doubt
and gloom. Without placing credit in the
Northern accounts, which claim for their forces
the possession of Grenada, it is evident that
we have lost much ground, ana that our army
has been forced back many 1iles since the
battle of Corinth. Tine Confederate army there
is far inferior in number to what is generally
supposed. 1t has received very scanty rein
forcements, for the story OF Hindmans having
crossed the Mississippi with forty thousand
men was shamelessly bogus, while to the Fed
eral army continuous stream of men has been
pouring from the Northwest to replenish its
ranks. The multitudes which are to be hurled
on our handful of heroes there are not yet fully
ready TO move; when their preparations are
complete, desperate contest will ensue for
the possession of the great valley of the Mis-
sissippi-a contest which, We fear, will be
hopeless unless our forces are brought by re-
Inducements to something nearer equality with
those of the enemy. The advent of President
DAVIS, who has declared his intention to share
the fortunes of the Western army, will infuse
a new spirit into the army, and arouse the
population into more energetic action ; and the
prospect. in Mississippi is less cheerful than in
any other part of the vast field of war;"
