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;"

JOHN JACOB AsToR's CoAcHMAN IN TROUBLE.
On Tuesday in New York, officer Benson Sher.
wood perceived carriage at the corner of
Broadway and Fourth street, standing partially
on the cross-walk, while a number of ladies
were waiting to cross. The officer requested
the driver, Walter Thorne, to drive up few
PAGES, to clear the walk. The driver refused
to move, and wanted to know if the officer
knew who he was talking to. "Why," said
the driver, II drive for John Jacob Astorl"
The officer replied that it didn't make the
slightest difference who he drove for. he would
have to drive up or be arrested. The driver
refused to do either, and Sherwood promptly
brought him to the sidewalk, and then marched
him off somewhat crestfallen to the Tombs
and arraigned him before Alderman Hall. The
Alderman on hearing the case reprimanded
him and fined him 50. The Jehu was aston
ished, but putting on his dignity demonstrated,
informing the magistrate that ." he drove for
John Jacob Astor!' The magistrate couldn't
see the distinction, and as Thorne refused to
pay the fine, he was committed to prison.

AskkIILE - E
fame of Dorchester has been again disparaRed
by horrible and mysterious tragedy. The par
ticulars, as they are stated, are that on Sunday
evening last Mrs Benjamin Hamblen, residing
at Harrison square, Dorchester, died suddenly
shortly after leaving the tea table. Rumors OBJ
tanned currency during the next day that the
death was caused by poison, and on Tuesday,
Coroner Vose assembled jury of inquest to
examine the case. After viewing the body it
was decided that autopsy should be made, and
Drs Fi6eld and Miller were appointed to perform
that operation during an interval OF the inquest
As the jury were leaving the premises the sharp
report of pistol was heard. when 1t soon appear
ed that Mr.. Hamblen, the husband of the deceas-
ed, had shot himself through the heart. He
expired in a few minutes, and much excitement
Immediately spread through the village. The
immediate cause of the death and suicide of this
unhappy couple is not yet definitely known, bus
there are many rumors in circulation: one OF
these is that the wife secretly poisoned by
the husband, and that fear of detection drove
him to desperation while another report is that
both parties had become tired of life and deliber-
ately committed self destruction. The deceased
were severally from 35 to 80 years of age, and
leave a family of three children. Mr. Hamblen
has long been known in Boston as the keeper OF
an oyster shop, latterly at No 10 Battery ymarch
street.
THE LATEST TRAGEDY. It is now stated that
Mr. Benjamin Hamben, who shot himself Tues
day, did not die, but was still living next morn
ing His physicians have little hope Of bis
recovery. He says he shot himself because he
wished to die with his wife,. The Irereaer states
that Mrs Hamblen informed her friends before
she died that she had taken j. Female Pills. to
procure a miscarriage, and that her husband had
procured them in Boston at her request Mr. ID.
confirms the statement naming where he bought
the Pills. Boston Journal.

RENARKABLE LONGEVITY. weeks ago,
David Allen died in this town, aged S5 years
and months He was the last survivor of
the children of Nehemiah and Ann Allen, three
of whom were sons and seven daughters, and
all of whom lived to a good old age Their
ages respectively. leaving off the months, were
93, 90, n, "a, 90, 96, 80, 95, 90 and 81 years.
Thus it will be seen that six of the ten lived
considerably beyond 90 years, averaging "a
years and months and that the average age
of all is nearly 80 years (ss 40. while the
sum of their ages is sss years. We think 1t
will be very difficult to find another family,
equally large, of such remarkable longevity

ORGANIZATION OF 20, 900 KENrUckIANs. The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Post says:
=" In the Senate, Garrett Davis of Kentucky
got Up his bill for calling out twenty thousand
kentuckians for one year to protect the frontier
and lines of communication. This bill went
by the board last session because of the strong
prejudice against it. By the terms of the bill
the force raised is put under the control of the
Governor Of Kentucky, and there are rumors
that the Governor and Legislature OF that State
are not sound since the emancipation procla-
nation was issued. | notice. however, that
Senators who did not advocate the bill last ses-
sion now favor it. Among them are the names
OF Mr.. Clark of New Hampshire, Mr.. Wilson
of Massachusetts and Mr.. Collamer of Yer
mont. 1t is seen that cavalry force composed
of native loyal men of Kentucky and Tennes-
see would be worth a great deal to US just
now. 1t is precisely the force we lack to
keep open communication with our advanced
armies"

protesting to have good SOURCES o
has put in circulation dsqueting rumors in
regard to military preparations in Canada. We
are probably able to state the exact truth re-
specting this subject, as our informant is an
American gentleman who for several months
past has resided in Quebec, and enjoyed facili-
ties for learning the real disposition of the
Canadian Government toward the United
States. We learn from this source that the
fact is indsputable that enormous quantities
Of ammunition and not less than 200. 900 stand
of small arms have been received in Canada
from England within the last few months, be-
sides artillery. Vessels laden with warlike
materials have been seen dscharging cannon
at the ordnance wharf in Quebec, while others
passed on to distribute their cargoes at various
points up the lakes. This, however, is not
construed as indicating anything hostile to the
United States. On the contrary, the DISPOSE
ton of the present Canadian Ministry Is very
friendly. The Premier, Hon. j. S. Mcdonald,
married a lady from Louisiana, but he is a
strong believer in the power of the North and
its recuperative energy. Our informant believes
the true explanation of these military move
ments which have excited so much suspicion
in some quarters, to be that not only in
Canada but in England, there exists a convic-
ton that eventually the North American colo
MES must establish themselves as an indepen-
dent government. Their connection with the
mother country is Of, little advantage to either
party SO, whatever the result of the rebellion
in the United States, the tendency is rather
toward a dissipation of the old relationship.
1t is surmised that England, therefore, not to
cast off her offspring in helpless state, with
war raging so near, chooses this time to pro-
vide sort of patrimony, in the shape of
arms, &c.
1t is not true that the guns in the fortress at
Quebec have been replaced by new arma-
ment. Those now in position are the same
that have been there since the time of Mont
gomery and Montcalm, and would avail little
in a conflict with modern guns and artillery.
The general tone of sentiment in Canada is
anything but hostile to this country. The
feeling is that the destiny of the Provinces is
inseparably linked with that of the United
States, and their interests In a great measure
identical. 1t is only in certain cliques that the
secession spirit prevails.-Jour. Of Com.

been serving in the army of Italy for the last
two years, have just arrived in this city-in-
tending to offer their services in any capacity
to the Government of the United States in its

Madame Zulaoski, whose decease year ago
was noticed generally by the press. A son of
Madame Ruttaki, another of the Ex-Governor,

MANsLAUGHEER BY AN AMERICAN SALON
A Valparaiso letter states that an American
named Storey is in prison in that city for man-
slaughter committed on board the American
ship Sunshine, in the harbor. The Cour. has
condemned him. He will probably have a
term of Imprisonment imposed in the peniten-

defense The man killed was named John
McCabe. Storey is a fine looking fellow, and
his account of the matter is plausible but
liquor was at the bottom of the fracas.

A New Yankee Doodle.
BY J. R. GILMORE.

Yankee Doodle came to town
To view the " situation
And found the world all upside down,
A rumpus in the nation;
He heard all Europe laugh in scorn,
And call him but a noodle;
Laugh on !" he cried; las sure's you're borr

Chorxs--Yankee Doodle, &c.
He found the ragged Southern looms
A-training like tarnaton;
They'd stolen all his silver spoons
And rifed his plantation;
'tTll wait awhile" he quietly said;
s1"They may restore the plunder,
But if they don't, I'll go ahead
And thrash them well, by thunder!
Chorxs-Yankee Doodle, &C.
And then the lovely Queen of Spain
Told him, in oneyed lingo,
That she had courted-not in vain
darkey in Domingo.

With all the male reation,
Pray don't come here; l can't, at home,
Allow amalgamation!"
ChOrus-Yankee Doodle, So.
The British lion slyly eyed
His bales of Southern cotton;
"Dear Yankee Doodle" soft he cried,
II nat stun is slave 6egOtten
A brothers te ars have bleach'd it white:
1t speaks your degradation
But l must have it, wrong or right,
To keep away starvation
Chorus-Yankee Doodle, sc.
"Hands off hands off good cousin John ~
Said quiet Yankee Doodle;

Who'll bear the system feudal,
I've heard your prate in Exeter Hall
