One Of The most Important measures for
The consideration Of The present session OF
Congress is the building OF ship canal
around the Fails Of Niasass. The little ditch
on tlse Canadian side Of the river, in addition
to being 1ocaied in foreign territory, Is
entirely too nna1 to accommodate the vast
commerce Of the lakes. What Ia wanted is
canal around The Falls on our side, that will
to&& vessels drawing is feet Of water and car
rying 200 tons Of freight. THIS Is a work
of national interest, aud should be built and
controlled hy the general Gorernment.
Htsa great naval and commercial ncces-
Blty. In tic event Of war With Crest Brit
ain such canal would give ~ complete con-
troll Of the lakea from Montreal to Superior
City Tue building Of few mllca Of canA
around the Falls will enable the largest
grim prupeiie.s and schooness to deliver
their catgoca Rt Oswego, and thereby savc

and costly New York canal It IL ouly half

bales Of hls OWE cotton, from North Alabama.
Thousands Of bales marked &c. 8. A." rere
ee,zed By the authorities, after which, BY some
hocus pocua, tho bales would BE- found minus
tho rebel mark, but bearing the initials Of
some professedfy ''1oya" Individual In Co
}umbus, Miss, the Government became pos
eessed Of several thousand bnles. It's agent,
Harrison johnson, one Of the few Mississippi
ans who stood up boldly for his whole conn-
try, eYen in Its darkest hour, was faithfully
performing hi. duty, and had delivered to Coy
eynnent more cotton than any other agent,
when himself and all bis aids Were suddenly
arrested aud the cotton taken out Of their
hands. A few days, however, served to chow
that Mr. johnson was all right, and be Was
discharged from arrest, but some COCO bales
Of Government cotton which he had In his
possession previously vas not restored. By
some unknown reaps this cotton was fired,
and the agents who arrested Mr.. johnson,
but still retained the cotton, declare 1t was
all burned. Parties who were upon the
ground declare that not more than 500 bales
Of this cotton were burned. Soldiers In Co.
lumbns were allowed to openly steal cotton
and take It out Of town, even going so far ns
to detail 3 guxrd from among themselves to
protect It from other cotton thieves. These
facts are youcbed for bY the Acting Assis-
tant Commissioner of the Frcedmen's
Bureau for the Northern District Of Misats-
sippf.
RAscALrTY or OFFICIALS,
One circumstance, which shows the rascal
ity Of some officials, falls within my oWu
knowledge. A citizen Of Southern Illinois
purchased lot Of cotton; portion Of It was
seized as Confederate cotton, and the illinois
an was told that the proof against him was
positive. Fearing to 1oso the property. be
made an arrangement to, par ore Of the off.
GERS Of the Treasury Department in this city
5000 to have the cotton released, and uctu-
ally procured tho money for TINT purpose
but before paying IT over he SAW the affidavit
upon which the seizure was Dadg, and refused
to pay the official the s., ,00o black mall. That
same day the cotton was released. Mr.. De1
ter, Government cotton agent for this district
Is NOW on trial for swiudling the Government
The other day 1t was proven That De1tel
agreed to give bis snb.a4gents one,half tht
cotton collected, whilst The other halt was te
be divided betWeen hinseH and other Off
cials. Government owes It to the people te
Investigate the frauds thoroughly. There !:

Of tho explosion IL shrouded In mysteryst

MILITARY CoTToS OPERATIONS.
Cotton appears to be the bane of our coun-
trY; it not only drove the fairest part Of
Uncle Sans heritage into rebellion, bnt Whist
Is equally bad, it utterly dcmoralized and
completely destroyed what little honesty

and are now rolling in wealth Sec the mum.
berless field and general officers, Who left
home perhaps unable to pay for their equip
ments, but who now boast their tens of thou
sands. How did they thus Suddenly accumu-
late their wealth! The answer Is, In one
word, "Cotton!'' In Mississippi and Ala-
bama between 10000 and 30o,0o0 bales OF
cotton reverted to the Government, and the
proper vouchers we're placed In the bands Of
ifs agents. Of this amount not more than
25, 06 bales will the Government ever realize,
md that will cost fire times the market
price of cotton. Both Federal and
Confederate Governments vera victims
of these wholesale sTindlca; officers
Of both sidcs would have IN understanding
with each other, and cotton would be passed
through the lines OF both armies, When the
sssbigh contracting parties would divide the
spoil. Forrest made IN immense sum In this
manner, his Memphis agent agreed to furnish

rest the value Of one bale in medicines. Bnt
