DUTCH GAP.-By consulting good map
of Virginia it will be perceived that the James
river bears due south from Richmond for
some seven or eight miles, then defects to
the southeast about FIVE miles further, where
i, abruptly turns to the southwest at or near
what is called Cox's Landing. Sweeping of
in this direction about three miles, 1t runs
abruptly upon itself, and comes back within
three hundred yards Of its own channel, hav-
ing made 4 circuit Of some seven miles IN Its
course, and then bears of to the eastward
towards Aiken's or Varina's Landing. About
the third Of mile below Cox's Landing,
where the neck Of land is narrowest, the
General some time ago conceived the idea OF
cutting a new channel for the river, which
would save it about seven miles of hard run
ming over bed wherein the rebels had been
at great pains to sink formidable distractions
for the purpose of preventing the ascent Of
our gunboats beyond this point. As to con-
ceive is to commence, and as TO commence
4 thing in this department is to execute It,
the work was straightway begun, and is now
rapidly approaching completion. The banks
of the river where this enterprise is proceed
ing are about fifty feet above the level Of the
water, but possess no very formidable en-
cheering difficulties to overcome. The
work, since being commenced, has steadily
progressed, and is so far forward as to render
It a certainty that it will eventually rank
among the most successful Of the works
of internal improvement ever carried out in
the State. 1t will, moreover, prove an effect
ual hanking Of the rebel distractions IN the
James river, and may, If completed soon
enough, enter into the problem Of the city Of
Richmond itself, although on the latter head
do not profess to possess any exclusive in
telligence on which to prognosticate future
movements, of which this is to form an inse-
grail part Of the plans.-EGste'n Paper.

The following is related as :" the Presi-
dents last story" In dismissing party
OF hungry Offices seekers who had often
wearied him, and finally exhausted his
patience, Mr.. Lincoln said they reminded
him of the story of the schoolmaster who
told one of his pupils to read the third
chapter of Daniel. The boy began, but
when he came TO the names of Shadrach,
Mesheck and Abednego, he stumbled.
The master required him to proceed. He
tried again and failed. Pedagogue then
tried logging, but still no go. Relent.
ing, the master told the boy he might read
the preceding chapter. and let the present
one 60. The boy frightened up and took
hold with a will. He got on famously
until he reached the last verse, when'
pausing, look of CONSERVATION overcame
his countenance and he dropped the book,
exclaiming in doleful voice, Why here
are them three raseaRy feilotcs a9d''H:
The trio sloped, and some of their friends
say it was fair hit.

ANOTHER PASTORAL REsIGNATIoN.-Re
Dr. Chickering announced to the High Street
congregation yesterday that he had been for
some time coming to the conclusion that this,
the thirtieth year of their connection, might.
10 mutual advantage, though with mutual re-
greet, be the last. lie made this early an
nouncemeDt in order to place them in posi-
tion TO be preparing for change Of pastors,
10 which he promised his aid and concurrence,
to be effected at such time during the year as
may be desirable.
This announcement was surprise to every
one of his congregation. DIR. Chickering's
labors in Portland have been eminently sue
cessful-the largest church in the State-set-
ting Off from its members, in body, the neu-
clus of State Street Church-helping TO form
two other Congregational churches, by numer-
Gus members for each, and still retaining more
families in his congregation than there are
pe,cs in the church. His unselfsh and faith
ful labors among his own people and~those
who belong TO no religious association, have
endeared him to a vast number and will make
his departure deeply felt and regretted. Who
was in distress and he did not minister unto
them? Who had sorrow and did not find a
friend and comforter in him? The blessings
of many will 60 with him, and the hope that
his usefulness may be even greater wherever
his lot may be cast.
