THE OHENANGO CANAL.

The Binghamton Republican, speaking of
the canal extension, says that contractors
Dennison and Gere are Syracuseans, Lord
is Of Rochester, and Donolds and Ross OF
Albion, Orleans county. In relation tc
the work, the Republican says :
The work is to be finished by September
lst, 1866. The sections let above take the
canal from the Rock Bottom Mills, or the
point where the canal crosses the river, and
carry it to point below Union. Each sec
ton is about mile in length, and they are
numbered from the commencement of the
extension at point near the fair grounds
the first section extending from there to the
Susquehannah river, and section number
two commencing there and extending down
the river. H..
By this the position of each section can
be calculated on the map, or will be readily
inferred by persons familiar with the geog-
raphy of the canal route as far as let. Sec
ton No. leaves the present ChenangO Ca
nal at the fair grounds, as before stated,
and takes an almost direct course for the
river at point a little above the Brandy
wine premises. 1t goes under the tracks
of the Syracuse and Erie roads very near
their junction Arriving at the river it
continues down the river to the Rock Bot
tom bridge. Here Section No. l ends. On
this section are located all the locks let
(three) the nine other sections not having
lock their entire length. The river is
crossed by raising the dam at present there
and then using a wire rope.
This work is not let, nor will it be under
dertaken until the canal is likely to be
nearly finished, as no interference with the
mills is desired until necessary Only
$2SS, ,666, are required to build these nine
sections Section No. is far more expen-
sive, but even that at a reasonable figure,
and adding in all other charges, it would
seem that quite sum would be left of the
first appropriation after finishing the first
ten. 1t looks now like work, and the ex-
tension should be pushed to IN early COM
pletion. ....

ADDRESS TO THE OLD 57th REGIMENT
HARRIsBURe, Pa, July 6, 1865.
Tn The Officers and SoIdiers of the old 51H


To The officers and Soldiers Of the old 57h
Penn'a:
Four years ago our thoughts were turn
ed upon War to come To-day our thoughts
are upon War passed and Peace to come,
The bloody strife is over and you with many
of your fellow soldiers are now to return
to your homes. ----.--
We part joyfully, for the life we have
led as soldiers has been a severe one, and
we are glad the task is over, and that hence
forth we can enjoy the comforts OF peace
full life Yet the associations we have form
ed are very hard to sever, and during our
whole course of life in the future we will
revert with pleasure and pride to the asso-
Citations and companionships formed during
those three or four years in which the reg
iment fought twenty-seven engagements
and marched hundreds of miles.
Let us not forget each other. Parting as
a band of brothers, let us cling to the mem
ory of those tattered banners, under which
we fought together and which, without dis
| honor, we have just now restored to the au-
thorities who placed them i'll onr hands
Till we grow grey-headed and pass away
let us sustain the reputation OF the noble
old reglment,-for we can point TO none
more glorious ! Fortune threw together
two organizations 84th p. V. and 5Ttf
p. V.-to make up the present command
Both regiments have been in service since
the beginning of the strife, and the records
Of both will demand respect through al
coming time.
Very many of those who have been en-
rolled with us have fallen, and their graves
are scattered here and there throughout the
South We will not forget these and the
people of this nation will and must honor
their memory for how can they avoid i
when they see little children pointing thei
fingers at the portrait on the wall and hea
them saying, "He died for our Country !"

AFFAIRS IN SOUTH CARoLNA-A cores
pondent who has been travelling exten.
sively through South Carolina, is satisfied
that the amount of cotton still remaining
IL the interior of that State, is very large,
exceeding any estimate that has yet been
published There is much difficulty in get
ting it to the seabord, owing, in consider
able degree, to the slow progress which is
being made by the railroad companies in
repairing their lines. These roads were
most effectually destroyed by General
Sherman, and the iron to relay the tracks
has yet to be bought, and the money to
buy it will have to be borrowed at the
North. So greatly has the collapse of the
rebel currency shattered the faith of the
South Carolina planters in paper money of
all kinds that they generally prefer ten
cents per pound in gold for their cotton to
fifteen cents in greenbacks. ...t .. ,

necessity and advantage of withdrawing
the $40, 900 proviso in his amnesty procla
nation. They appear to have had free
conversation with the President on the sub,
ject, but from the semi-official report of the
interview, they do not seem to have made
much out Of it. The President talked to
them very plainly and truthfully and told
them he could not see the force of their
representations. He finally said that he
would look over the papers they had laid
before him, but gave them not the least
hope that their request would be granted.

THE UNION STATE CONVENTION.

The Norristown Herald and Republican
has very timely and appropriate article
concerning the action to be taken by the
coming Union State Convention, in giving
expression to the public will as to the ques-
tions which are now in process of settle
ment. That paper very justly claims that
declaration should be made, that "the
loyal men of Pennsylvania declare this to
be their unalterable opinion That,
"No loyal man in the rebellious States
should be refused right conferred upon a
rebel. And that,
No loyal man in the rebellious States,
competent to VOTE should be deprived of
that right be his color what it may"
1t would seem as if propositions so emf,
nently selfevident and conclusions so just
as those laid down by the Republican would
not need discussion, and that the assem-.
| bled representatives of the loyal people OF
the State would make haste to proclaim
their belief in their correctness, and unal
terahle determination to support and ad
here to these truths The people of this
Commonwealth, expect no less of the Union
State Convention than declaration of prin
ciples which shall contain all, if not more
than is here asked for Less will bring
disappointment, create disgust, and power
fully contribute to bring defeat upon the
great party which should carry the State
this fall by an overwhelming majority.
Another matter is worthy of the consid
GRAFTON of those who are engaged in en-
deavoring to ''fx up" the Convention, its
resolutions and its nominees The brave
soldiers who have for the last four years
fought the battles of the country, have
mostly returned home. They have rescued
the Union from its enemies. Surely some
recognition is due from the Union party o
the State to the valor, the endurance, the
loyalty, which has animated these tried anc
true men. The Union State Convention
must select some capable and worthy vet
eran as one of the candidates it presents
for the suffrages of the people 1t will no
be enough that it adopts resolutions ap
plauding the returned soldiers Some more
direct and tangible evidence of our cordia
and hearty sympathy is needed.
In enforcing this fact, we have no motive
except the success of the Union party, and
what we believe is due to the soldiers We
have no candidate to bring forward anc
shall be satisfied with any man who truly
represents that worthy band who have up
on so many bloody fields upheld the stand
ard of the Union.

sea- 1t is intimated that, now the conspi.
racy is over and the sentence of the Mill
tary Commission are executed, there will
soon be some definite action concerning the
trial of Jefferson Davis. If it should be
determined to try him for treason, the pro-
ceedings will, of course, take place before
/ civil tribunal but, from present indica-
tions, it is more probable that he will be
tried by military commission as the leader
or instigator Of the conspiracy for it is
said in Government quarters there are
newly discovered proofs against him in that
connection.

DAVIS, CLAY AND MITCHELL Fortress
Monroe letter says that every morning Mr.
Clay takes his hours permitted walk, but
jeff Davis and Mitchell no one sees or can
see, except General Miles, the officer of the
day, and the guard. Imaginary stories as
to their treatment and department have
been written, but they amount to nothing.
Davis is in much better health than when
he came here, and evidently has no inten-
tion of dying by starvation or the halter,
Or anything but old age He has plenty to
eat, and of good quality. He is in no dun
geon, but has half cascmate, and plenty
of air and fine view of the water. He is
not allowed to read and write, but can
keep up as much and as vigorous thinking
as he pleases He cannot attempt self
violence without detection, and there is no
possibility of his escape.

SECRETARY STANTON AND THE TRIBUNE

The Netc York Tribune makes the closing
of Ford's theatre, at Washington, the pre-
text for an untimely and unjust assault up
on Mr.. STANTON, and his official conduct as
Secretary of War. The Times retorts, that
1T does stand ON record that the Tribune has
sisted nearly every vigorous proceeding which the
government has deemed essential to the prosecu-
ton of the war and the suppression of the Rebel
lion"
Without endorsing the sweeping aver
ment of the Times, we cannot refrain from
remarking that the erratic and Inconsistent
course of the Tribune during thu asst two
years, has lost that paper the great conf
dence once reposed in it by the people,
There is feeling, which has grown out of
the unwise counselS of the IiibuRe that it
is an unsafe guide not to be blindly follow
ed. The occasions have not been few, dur
ing the progress of the late war, in which
its suggestions or recommendations have
shocked the sense of the loyal people, and
have evoked public disapprobation, as be-
ing calculated to embarrass the Govern
ment in the prosecution of the war, and to
dishearten the patriotic.
AS regards Secretary STANTON the enven-
omed shafts of the Tribune fail to accom-
plished the intended purpose for which they
are sent. That he has committed errors
since he held the portfolio of the War De.
pagtment, none will care to assert. The
YIN 81 Aitude of the duties pressing upon him.
Been too much for one man, however
great or wise, to discharge with entire ac
curacy. But the country recognizes the
faithfulness with which he has applied him
| self to the great work before him-his un
firing energy, his industry. and above all
the incorruptible integrity, which has pre-
served his reputation from the fantest sus
pcion of corruption.
When the history of the Great Rebellion
shall be written. EDWIN NJ. STANTON will re-
ceive the credit which is pre-eminently his
due, for his herculean labors, in providing
the means of carrying on the conflict, and
for his sagacity in arranging the plans and
details, to which in great measure is due
| the success of our arms. That he should
be bitterly assailed is owing to the fact
that contractors, spectators and office
seekers have found no special favors at his
hands Having the interests of the coun
try at heart, he has faithfully guarded
against corruption, and has saved his De
partment from the horde of plunderers, at
tracted by the magnitude Of the opera lions
rendered necessary by the prosecution o
the War
The occasional reports Of the retirement
of Mr.. STANTON originate from those will
whom the wish is father to the thought
We are pleased to learn, from the highest
authority, that the best understanding ex
lists between the President and the Secre
tary or War, and that there is no intention
on the part of the Secretary to retire from
office, and no desire on the part of the Pres
! ident that he should do so. The country
rests with entire confidence upon Secretary
STANTON, and would regard his Withdrawal
! from the Cabinet as great calamity
