The CHICAGO TuNNBL.-The Chicago
correspondent of the Boston Advertiser
gives an interesting account Of a descent
which he lately made into the tunnel that
is being made under Lake Michigan for
the purpose of supplying the city Of Chi
cage with good water. The excavation is
about thirty feet under the lake, and it has
attained the length of 4,l40 feet. At every
thousand feet, side chambers have been
built, in which the masons work, it being
found impossible to use the mortar made
above the ground. A track extends the
the whole length Of the tunnel, and the
cars are run out by mules. The bottom
of the land shat is about seventy-hve feet
the surface of the earth. The party to
which the writer was attached filled two
cars, which, as soon as they were seated,
rushed with them into total darkness, re.
lieved only by a few din, Pickering miner
lamps. A shudder might well thrill each
heart to think that the great inland sea
was over their heads, with only about
thirty feet Of soil between them ; though
it was some relief to know that there were
five inches of arch brick between each foot
Of earth. Gas is still occasionally met
with, but no serious accidents have hap
pened. Not long since the workmen
heard the paddles Of a steamer passing
overhead, and it caused much fright but
now it is a common occurrence. The
tunnel is to end about two miles out in
the lake, and it will probably be COM
pleted by another year.

OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.

The disagreement between our Govern
ment and that Of Great Britain certainly
wears a serious aspect. When the cor
re~spondence between Minister Adams and
Earl Russell was given to the public. the
apparent disposition Of the latter to COM
promise by offering Commissioners in
stead of arbiters to settle disputed ques-
tons. induced the belief that some kind Of
an understanding would be easily reached.
Further developments, however, dissipate
that belief. According to the English
construction Of Earl Russells position
which is doubtless the one intended to be
conveyed-it seems that it is equivalent to
a fiat and emphatic refusal to do anything
in the premises. Instead of growing more
plant and conciliatory, as was generally
expected on this side of the Atlantic, the
British Government is apparently becom-
ing more infexible upon this subject. The
Times says :
we SdllllOl, VI NONISCI NCl al "Anb
spirit the Government of the United States
are disposed to receive the final and de-
liberate refusal of the British Government
to entertain in any shape the claims they
put forward. We can only say, on our
part. that we are quite sure u Govern
ment may depend upon the support Of the
nation in maintaining the position it has
taken up. II the American Government
is determined to seek a quarrel with us, as
well this demand as any other. We can
not have one on which our right is clearer
and our position more unquestionable. If
it is not, we shall have saved ourselves, by
the firm stand we are now making, from q
great degradation, and indicated for the
benefit of mankind that neutral position
so seldom occupied by Great Britain in
the wars of the past, and so often, we
trust. to be hers in the wars Of the flu
ture.'
This looks belligerent. Both President
Johnson and Secretary Seward have de-
clared that our demands for pirate dam
ages must be met; and we believe that
the people Of this country are as firmly
resolved to sustain the Government in this
demand, as are the English people, &C.
cording to the Times, to sustain that Of
Great Britain. Neither side can, without
humiliation, take the back track in this
matter and as the respective positions are
Numerically in opposition, it is difficult
to see how the subject can be amicably
adjusted.

trical eloquence. His remarks, as were

unbounded enthusiasm. Judge Mcagher,
the worthy State Center, made a short

NEW YORK VOLUNTEER FIRENsN.-On
the third of this month the Volunteer Fire
Department of New York City was for
mally dissolved. Commenting upon it,
though glad of the change, to a paid De-
partment, a New York exchange says a
word or two that will touch the memory
and heart Of many of the denizens Of Gold
Hill and Virginia City: iagELE
The memory Of many a retired fireman,
on reading of the final dissolution Of the
old organization, will revert to the day
long past, when the Volunteer system
Aourished in all its glory. The scenes
and incidents that happened long ago will
come wildly into view, and many a
though,less sigh will be heard upon re-
calling the recollections Of 'auld lang
syne.' May the new organization be equal
10 the old when in its palmy days"

From the Brookhaven Miss Telegraph.
During the recent raid on this place, many
negroes, heretofore conside ed faithful SER
vants--mcn, women and children-accoms
panied the Yankees on their return. In
great glce they mounted the stolen horses
and mules Of their owners, and, loaded with
plumber, took their departure for the land Of
Abe Lincoln's rule. The vision of the soft,
rolling carriage, fine dress, 'uxuriant eating
freedom and equality with their libcrators,
received the first rude shock but few miles
from town, when they were compelled to
dismount and trudge through the mud
Fatigued, hungy and cold, they strove might
and main to keep up with the apostles of
liberty fear Of recapture by indignant mas
tcrs stimulating their fast fading dream Of
idlencss. The weather became bitter cold,
and the negroes suffered terribly. The first
to succumb were their children, being de-
serted BY their british mothers to perish on
the wayside. We hear of one woman who,
tired Of her burden, threw her infant, not
month old, in the wayside thicket and left
it. We are informed that twenty-five OF
these Abe Lincoln milestoncs have been
found frozen to death on the road travelled
by the Yankees on their return, mostly chill
dren.
