TotaI.

In addition to the above a small con-
tract of l66 yards on Water Street near
School House. Ant one of 1900 on
Second Street, between Main and At
~lantic, which were paid for with City
Orders.
The above contracts have all been COM
menced except three, two of which vii
be under operation next week.
Several Bridges and CulverIs are nee
essary, the cost of which is not included
in the above. They will Lot cost more
than one or two thousand dollars.
The contracts are all taken that the
Council has so far decided to let, unless
it is First Street. A bid for which has
been received, but the contract has not
been closed.
The grade of Atlantic Street from a
point on the levee to where First Street
crosses the same rises one foot in twenty.
Thence west to near top of hill by DR..
Cranes is a very steep rising grade of
one foot in Ten. Thence west to Ord street
a falling grade Of one foot in twenty.
From thence west TO 9th street a fail
ing grade Of one foot in ninety,
On Main stress the grading is nearly
finished to 9Th street which is as far as
The grade is established.
On Water Street the grade was estab-
lished to 9Th street several years ago.
The petition of the citizens asking
hat $4,000 be expended on the streets
only asked that the same be made prac.
Iicable for travel and the Council has
directed the City Engineer to have the
work so performed. For this reason the
Council did not think best to establish
The grade Of the streets farther than al
ready INDICATED. The grade of the cross
streets, between Main and Atlantic is of
course dependant on that of Atlantic,
Main and Water.
The contrrcts let where the grade is
not established will only be sufficient to
make the streets practical for travel, and
the excavations are certainly above any
grade hat will ever be established.
The number of men now at work on
the streets is ffty.one, which number
will be nearly doubled within TWO weeks.
Nearly all of these are strangers who
would not have come but for this employ
ment. Several of them, having families,
have erected houses to live in, and others
contemplate doing so Immediately.

MORE VESSELS WITH CoTToN
BuRNED.-With the burning of the
steamer Fashion and her cargo of
cotton, seems to have started an
epidemic of similar catastrophes, the
ending of which, we fear, Judging
from the way it spreads, is not yet.
The Bremen ship Mobile, with
$3.50 bales of cotton on board, was
totally destroyed by fire, together
with her cargo, on Thursday night
last, about midnight, whilst lying at
anchor in Mobile Bay. She was
about half loaded and was under
charter for Liverpool. Every man
on board, except the first officer and
three Of the crew, took to the boats
and ingloriously fed. The four who
were left behind bravely, though I'M
availingly, e1erted themselves to put
out the fire, and were finally rescued
from the burning wreck by boats
from the British ship Tudor. The
Mobile, together with her cargo, was
fully insured. The fire is supposed
to have been the work Of an in
cendiary.
Another boat burning disaster oc-
CURED on the same night near Erie,
on the Black Warrior River, Ala.
The boat, in this instance, was the
steamer Montgomery, bound from
Tuscaloosa to Mobile. She was con-
sumed, together with six hundred
bales Of cotton. Three negroes were
also lost by the fire.

4 TELEGRAPH ACROSS THE GULF.
Our merchants will be gratified to
learn that the State Department has
received information from Minister
Hall, that the Florida and Cuba
Telegraph Company, chartered by
the last session Of Congress, have
secured grant from Spain for forty
years, giving them exclusive rights
to land cables in Cuba. The COM
pany have sold all their stock and
made a contract for the laying of the
cable to Florida, to be completed and
in working order by March 18th,
1867. Another company will at
once lay a line to connect Cuba with
South America.
New Orleans will of course con-
meet with this line, and we hope to
see a cable laid across from Cuba to
Yucatan, and thus to the coast and
central cities of Mexico. If we can
add daily steam and express service
from this city to those of the Spanish
ports, our merchants can at once
apply the system which operates go
successfully at the North. That is
to offer the retail merchants of the
countries around the Gulf the means
to order and renew frequently their
stocks. New Orleans must soon be.
come to them what New York is to
