The SHIP CANAL AROUND NIAGARA
FALLs.-This project is again before Con-
gress. On the 18th, Mr.. Doolittle, OF
Wisconsin, presented memorial from the
Chamber of Commerce of Milwaukee, on
the subject, which was referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs. The peo-
pie of the Northwest are beginning to
make themselves felt as a power in the
Government. Chicago chafes like young
lion ENGAGED, because the New York rail-
road monopolists charge more than fair
rate for freight from that city to the At.
lantic via Portland, Me. The Tribune Of
Chicago tells the merchants of the North
west to withhold shipments until Spring,
when lake navigation is open, or compel
the New Workers to reduce freight. Chi.
cago is following the 7si6a'e's advice, and
the cars run empty. Give the Western
giant ship canal around Niagara, and
another to the navigable waters of the H.
linois, and she will soon become rival of
New York, and great auxiliary to Port
land and New Orleans. The Great West
is getting to be " some pumpkins"

NaDoIeOu in Mexico.

The s. F. Bulletin has lengthy article
upon the " English and French Colonies
French Designs on the Gulf of California"
of which the following is the conclusion
In this case OF the Mexican States along
the Gulf of California, the present French
ruler is but insiduously acting as means
of concentrating the new French idea.
Wherever, since 1880, France has acquired
fresh territory, NO matter how apparently
unimportant, or how comparatively in
significant in limits, she has, without en-
ception, built strong Notifications and
dockyards, and has placed sufficient gar
risons. She will, we may well suppose,
in due time, If suffered to retain unmolest-
ed the Northwestern States Of Mexico, re-
sort to the same measures of protection
and substantial tenure. She has not been
foolish enough to expend large sums OF
money, and lend a feet and an army
for the mere philanthropic purpose
of reducing Mexico to order and
quiet. Nor has she been so very
self disinterested in placing Hapsburg on
the Mexican throne. Napoleon knew his
man when he selected Macmillan as his
agent on this continent. He knew him
well, as events are demonstrating. Max
imihan is proving faithful to his cunning
and ambitious master. He punctually
fulfls his contract with him. He gives
up to him, at the earliest convenient OPP
portunity, the desired States, and Napo-
leon takes them-under mortgage-title,
OF course-merely to hold as security for
monies DUE. By virtue of such title he
will, if not too soon prevented, fortify his
new domains, and garrison them, as he
has his other new colonies, and will new
er, we may depend upon it, demand of
Macmillan or,any other Mexican ruler,
the sums that he now claims his due. The
States, if he could but hold them, would be
indeed an acquisition to his Empire that
would add to the glories of his reign.
They would be an acquisition that
would stir up the deepest envy
of England. They would be barrier to
the extension of republican government
on this continent. They would be, through
their rich mines, source of wealth to
France. They would, through this wealth,
bear all the expense of holding them.
They would be an unsurpassed base Of
operations on the Pacific, Napoleon
wants them. France now sees their value
-covets them. Will our Government
see France gratified in this respect: 1t is
needless for us to say that we do not be-
lieve it. The day of new disposition of
the Mexican question can not be far off.
This civil war closed, foreign affairs in a
variety of shapes and of various degrees of
magnitude win necessarily occupy our
national attention for awhile, and among
them foremost will be proper settlement
hardly be permitted to retain permanently
the States along the Cult of California,
but that she designs to do 50, we are sat
isfed from her antecedents and present
preparations.

VISITING MISEs.-One Professor Vii
hams, Of Philadelphia, has been examin-
ing for some weeks the mines in the vicin-
ity of Austin. Nevada. According to the
RsreiIle, he considers that region of
country far superior to any he had pre-
yiously visited in Nevada or California.
If such be the Professors opinion, we
would say, without intending to disparase
the mines about Austin in any way, tina,
he has yet very much to see and to learn
Sac. Union.
That's so, "in the shake of lambs
tail" We wouldn't give the crop OF {
short row of peas for the opinion of any
Of the professors that have ever visited
Nevada. On the contrary, we consider
the opinion of practical, hard-fsted'
brawny-armed miner, worth thousand
times more than these cologne-water,
cambrie-handkerchief gents, who are
poking their noses into tunnels and shafts,
talking about the science of mining and
mineralogy." 1t is the hard ticks OF the
hardy miner. in connection with the hard
ticks of mechanics and machinists, that il

ing up the wealth of Nevada. Scientific
humbug is played out among the men Of
solid sense. At least, such is the case in
Gold Hill.

A correspondent with Admiral Porter'a
fleet before Wilmington, relates the fol-
lowing: 81
+ At ] o'clock q small boat was launched
from the Malvern, containing Lieutenant
VIM B. Gushing, he who sunk the Abe
marie, Masters Mate Horton, OF the NAL
vern. and thirteen seamen. Thelittle boat
carried the blue and white pennant OF a
commanding officer, to which Lieut.: Cnsn-
ing is entitled. The frail craft headed TO-
ward the fort, twelve sailors plying the
oars, and the thirteenth stood in the bow
casting lead and announcing the sound
ings. ''- ''. ..,& -
Masters Mate Horton sat in the stern,
noting the depths, and Lieutenant Cush,
ing directed the course to be rowed and
sounded. For ten minutes the rebels
seemed paralyzed with this audacious
piece of coast surveying, and then they
trained their guns on the boat and nred,
the first shot striking the water not more
than fifty feet from the boat. Not the
least disturbed was Cushing or his men
the sailors rowed steadily, the lead was
thrown, the soundinss noted, as. it shot
and shell were not dropping all around
them, and at times splashing them with
the water which they cast high in the air.
Steadily forward sped the little boat.
Under the very muzzles of Fishers guns
were the soundings taken. When bis
cult could be tossed from the small boat
to the beach, Lieutenant Gushing signaled
his men to cease rowing, and he stood up
in his frail craft and took cool and de-
liberate survey of the fort. There he
stood, a glittering target for the rebel gun
ners, for he wore every strip of lace to
which his rank entities him. The rebels
deemed him an incorrigible, or respected
his bravery /; but, what is more likely, they
saw more Yankee audacity in the distance:
Capt. John Guest Of the Iasco, had
small boats lowered and manned from his
own vessel, the Tacony, and the Chippe-
wa. These boats were provided with
torpedo drags, and dragged the water ap-
proaches toward Mound and Fisher.
Both places opened on them vigorously
They steadily pursued their labors, Capt,
Guests boat always in the lead, and his
pennant received the attention of the rebel
guns. In one of the small earthworks
between the mound and the fort, is case.
mated battery, mounting one rifled gun
this fired continually at the small boats
At last one shot cut away the flag staff o.
the Tacony's boat, and the next struck thu
boat fairly, crushing 1t to match wood anc
depriving one poor fellow of leg.
The crew were all saved by the Other
boats. The dragging still continued, ant
was finished without further casualties
Meanwhile, Lieut.. Gushing pursued hi
soundipgs near the Mound, then he rowet
past the fort, over the bar and up the inlet
still sounding as he went. He. pursued
his surveying up the inlet as far as Zeke'
Island, where he found the guns removed
and the wharf burned. Then he returned
always under the rebel fire. Verify, thi
bit of coast surveying should be paintet

If the continuance of the war should
ever break us down in financial point
Of view, the fact would first appear in the
failure Of production, as that is the basis
Of our national prosperity, But so long
as that maintains a fair ratio to the volume
of our wants, and especially so long as 1t
shows handsome increase, there IN no
danger, except in the unwise management
of our finances. Thus far the statistics OF
production are satisfactory to an extent
which the most sanguine observer would
not have dared to predict at the outbreak
of the rebellion. We are reminded OF TINS
by the figures of the Chicago trade report
for the year just closed-that great city
being as accurate an indicator OF most
branches of production as New York is OF
our exports and imports. - F' "a {.
This report shows, for instance, that the
receipt at that point of cattle, hogs, and
all live stock, as well as slaughtered AMI
mails, was double in 1862 of what it was
in 1860, and again double in 1854 of what
it was in 1862. Thus, to take one of the
items, in order to show the enormous
amount, the hogs packed in 1860 were
1853, 900; in 1862, $4,000 and in 1854,
$4,000. Grain was doubled in the four
years, rising from 30,00O,0OO of bushels
IN 1860, to 60,000,000 in 1854. There
are other Western centers, however, where
greater increase has been developed.
With regard to the general progress Of ag-
| riculture at the West the report says ::
Notwithstanding the drain which has
been made upon us for men and means,
agricultural pursuits have been pushed
forward with redoubled energy and vigor,
and now much greater breadth OF land

the war, than was before known in the
history of the country ,...-,..r
These are facts which speak for them
selves, but they tell only part OF the
story. The increase of labor-saving in
ventions has, in almost every department,
made amends for the hands withdrawn by
the war, and in some cases given great
positive increment to the results. In the
mining of the precious metals-copper'
coal and iron-there has been great geo.

local increase. One product. petroleum,
has sprung into existence, as it were-at

earth and entered into all the channels Of
commerce - in the most extraordinary
manner. The exports alone in the yeai

increasing. With such facts before US
