CHESAPEAKE BAY AND Potomac TIDE
WATER CANAL CoMPANY.-The United States
Railroad Journal remarks:
This is a most important project 70 the Cum
berland coal trade, and also to the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, which last year carried 243,-
POP tons Of coal, being Is, 800 tons more than
was carried in any previous year since 1872,
when the canal was opened. With the Chesa-
peeke Bay and Potomac Tidewater Canal
opened TO navigation, boat passed through it
will be almost to Bordentown on Its way TO
New York, whilst a boat passed down the Po-
tomac to its mouth, and thence mp the Cnesa-
peake, reaches Annapolis on its way 70 New
Aork. And as the route of the new canal
crosses the Patuxent river about midway
between Bladensburg and Annapolis, an abun-
cant supply OF water can be thrown into the
summit level. We believe this proposed canal
will be built, because of it's manifest utility
and intrinsic merit, and because, moreover. OF
the transportation facilities and advantages it
VIII open 10 the two important interests above
named, and likewise 10 the cities of Washing
ton and Annapolis, and 10 the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal. 1t will shorten the water
loute from New York Philadelphia and Bal
umore 10 Washington city about tvo-fifths o.
the present distance via the mouth Of the Po.
tomac. This is, indeed, a cutoff sum cieut not
only TO commend the plan 70 capitalists, but
TO assure dividends TO shareholders on the
money cost of the work.

GEN. CRAwFoRD's CHIEF OF STAFP-Our
readers will remember the arrest in New Or
leans, by order Of Gen. Sheridan, OF Gen r
Clay Crawford, as he was about leaving that
city. IN consequence of alleged connection with
the recent disturbances on the Mexican from
tier. Crawford had with him as chief of staff
one Arthur r. Reed, who claimed TO have once
been colonel Of the 10th United States colored
infantry. Col. Lester, of that regiment saws in
letter TO the Nashville Union
"Permit me TO correct an error which an
pears in your paper Of the 2Sth inst. Col. Ar
thur L. Reed is there mentioned as colonel of
the 4Uth United States colored infantry. When
L assumed command of that regiment as coll
onel, at Knoxville, on the 18th of April, 1855,
found lieutenant colonel of that name in it,
On the oath of that month placed him in ar
rest, and preferred ten charges and twenty-five
specifications against him. He was tried by
general court.martial at Greenville, East Ten
nesse, found guilty of nine charges and their
specifications, and two specifications of the
tenth charge, and sentenced to be cashiered;
sentence approved by general court-martial,
order No. 70, headq quarters Department Of the
Cumberland, Nashville, Tenn, dated June IL,
1865; copy Of orders received AZ headquarters
nth United States colored infantry, June %,
1865, since which date Lieut.. Col. Reed ceased
TO belong to- the 40th, or TO the I'm ted States
service.
The conduct of this man leads me 70 the
belief that he was either partially insane, or
that he was the greatest fool that ever outraged
the United States service"

81 Speaking of the necessities of the South,
gentleman remarked 10 the editor OF the New
Orleans Crescent that s' the South doesn't want
conventions, or legislation, lectures or speeches:
she vents money and mules Give her plenty
of money and mules, and she will get along
very we'll" In one sense the gentleman VAS
perfectly right He did not, perhaps, mean
That the South needs nothing but money and
mules 10 enable her to reach the summit Of
eartniy prosperity and the acme OF human
bliss, 5ut simply that, as her calamities are
material and physical, at least those OF her ca
lamltles which are durable, so her needs and
ner remedles must be material and physical
likewise. Hence "money and mules" may be
considsred general expression for those things

OoLoRED soBOOLsOE MISSISSIPPI

The State Superintendent of Education OF
Mississippi, Chaplain Joseph Warren, has
transmitted to General Howard his report of
the colored schools OF that State, in a commu-
nlcation, dated January ID. He enumerates
many difficulties that opposed the organization
of schools in that State, one of which was the
dangue fever, which nearly all of the teachers
took. The two principal causes which pre-
vented teachers from coming there were the
reputed unhealthiness of the State and the
hostile feelings of the people towards the
blacks and all those who manifested an inter-
est IN them. He reports the number of schools
IN the State, so; number OF teachers, is: num-
