The Improvement OF the Mime.
..s sofa River. "A.

wv S~AsOAe
Capt. ~. WEBER, Chief Commissioner
for the improvement of the Minnesota
River, has submitted a report to the Gov
ernor of all work done up to this time. It
states: :,
FIst-I have distributed the amount of
money and labor as nearly as possible on the
different divisions of the River, 81, 6s2. So
leaving balance in my hands to be appropria-
ted as soon as the weather will permit, in re-
moving some obstructions which cannot be re.
moved at this time.
Second-I have removed all snags that could
while the River is frozen, from the Rapids to
the mouth of the Blue Earth River, above
Mankato.
TAird-I have eight men, under Commits
sioner Pragnatz, working from New Ulm to
the mouth Of the Blue Earth River, above
Mankato, cutting timber from the banks.
FOURTH have instructed Pragnatz to ex
pend the amount Of money in his hands, and
no more; as it will take the balance in my
hands to complete the improvement between
Mankato and the Rapids for the removal of
logs which are frozen to the bottom of the
River, and cannot be removed without unnec-
essary labor at the time, and wish to apply 1t
to the best advantage for the benefit of the
community at large.
FDm-I have not given you the amount of
snags that have been removed, as it occupied
too much time to count them, and the number
would have seemed fabulous. Commissioner
Nahum reports 2, 500 suags cut between Faxon
and Henderson-14 miles. This would proba-
bly, be about one-third over the average DER
mile on the whole distance.

Although no great battles are reported,
the war news possesses considerable inter-
est. Gen. SHERIDAN, instead of taking
Brksville and Lynchburg, as reported,
and making the circuit of Richmond, went
from Charlottesville down to the Pamun-
key River, and is now at the White House.
We have no particulars of bis march in
that direction, or of it's object.
There is another report that SoHorIHLD
has formed junction with SHERMAN, and
that the latter is at Goldsboro; but it
comes in rather questionable shape"
The stereotyped report Of great scarcity
of provisions and panic in Richmond is
again served up, with the startling addi-
ton that JEFF. DAVIS has abdicated, or is
about to abdicate, in favor of Gen. LEE,
who viii soon make the last desperate
effort to save the Confederacy. That the
crisis in rebellion is fast approaching is too
evident to be questioned, but it is difficult
to perceive how matters will be much i'm
proved by the retirement of DAVIS. B..
The particulars of the great freshet IN
New York will be read with interest by
those who are acquainted in the various
places that were inundated. The destruc-
ton of property was very great-probably
much greater than we are at present adj
vised. From the accounts received Of the
effects of the freshet at Buffalo, Roches-
ter, Utica and Syracuse, it is not improba-
BILE that the streets Of Albany have been
a little too wet for comfortable walking.
Gold tumbled to 1916, but rallied little
and closed at 1871. Those who have
large stocks of merchandise on hand,
bought when gold was over 200, are fast
coming to grief. They find the descend
ing scale not quite so pleasant as the
ascending, but the great masses of people
rejoice at the change. The day for max
ing tens of thousands by the simple opera
ton of marking up prices, to keep pace
with the rise in gold, has gone by, never
to return.

Great Freshet in Wisconsin and
... Minnesota.

We learn there has been great freshst
in Wisconsin, and that considerable dam
age has been done to the La Crosse Rail-
road. Bridges, and the track in many
places, have been carried away. There
have been no trains at La Crosse since
Sunday, and none are expected for several
days. In some places the water is eight
feet deep on the track. No stages left
La Crosse Tuesday or Wednesday.
It is also stated that the bridges be-
tween st. Paul and La Crosse have been
carried away. If such is the case we may
be shut out from the inside world for some
time to come.

Sixth Regiment.

Aprivate letter of the 9th from New
Orleans states that the Sixth regiment was
encamped in q square Of that city, prepar-
atory to departure for Mobile or some
other place unknown. The regiment has
been assigned to the I'd division of the 10th
army corps, and was relieved from duty in
the city by the negro troops, partly to spite
the citizens and partly for fear the pre-
cious darkeys would get hurt in fight.
The weather was warm, but the regiment
was in good health. r,. j

LATER FROM THE FRoNTIER. Gen. SIB-
LEY received advices yesterday from Fort
wadsworth to March 18th. They contained
no news of special Importance. The
expedition sent out to arrest certain ire
gular traders with the Indians had return
ed having arrested only one man. The
Indians, chiefly Yanctonais were still on
the Coteau hunting Buffalo, which were
very numerous. The heavy storms still
continue. All quiet at Fort Abercrombie.

RE1NsrATKD.-Capt. @. J. DIETRICH, who
was tried and convicted last summer of
outrageous frauds, and dismissed from the
army, has been reinstated and ordered to
