We find the following in the Madison
(Wis.) Daily Journal of the Gath. We
had read part of the report Of the Mill
tary Engineers appointed by Congress,
and had laid copy of it aside for com
mcnt, but the paper containing it got away
from us: we do not regret its loss howce-
err, because the Journal has the whole sto-
ry in nutshell. The quarter of IS mil
lions would make pretty good canal out
of the Wisconsin, while 10 millions would
make buster Can any body tell if the
Wisconsin and Fox were ever examined at
all, and if so, what was said about them
in the report? Verify, Chicago is the
other "Hub," and Money is King
The Proposed Illinois Ship Canal,
The report of the military engineers orr
dered to make a survey for a system Of
canal and slack water navigation for river
boats from Chicago to the mouth Of the
Illinois river is published. 1t estimates
the cost Of such construction, with locks
Is feet wide and $50 feet long, and feet
of water, at $lS,2l7 ,242.56.
We suppose there is no doubt but that
the waters of Lake Michigan and the Mis-
sissippi could be connected by navigable
channel large enough for most of the boats
used on the upper Mississippi, through
the Fox and Wisconsin rivers, at cost of
one or two millions. For all general pur-
poses of navigation, that channel would
answer equally we'll with the proposed H.
linois canal, though it would not serve as
a sewer for Chicago. Inasmuch as econo-
my in public expenditures is the order of
the day, we hope Congress will conclude
to save SIT 100000 by providing for open
ing navigable communication between the
Lakes and the Mississippi via. the Fox and
Wisconsin rivers instead Of through Hi
nOis.

81. Anna.
This celebrated radical Saint is receiv.
ing left-handed compliments from those
who recently idolised her. Her display
of slip" at Chicago was not at all to suit
the expectations of her large audience Of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. She
spoke her piece entitled t. Breakers
Ahead" in which among other things she
pitched into Gen. Grant with great bitter
ness, called him names, and almost declar
ed him brainless, practicing cunning 81.
lence in order to attain power so as to de-
feat the holy purposes which the real, old,
died-iu-the- wool Wendell Phillips chaps
and chap-eses have in view. She wanted
her co-workers to beware Of man, q
General at that, who is too cowardly to
have platform. Annals applause is said
by the Republican papers of Chicago to
have been low and very limited. Anna
has l60 engagements ahead. We trust
she may be able to till them all.
She lectured at La Crosse recently on
the same subject and from what Charley
Seymour, editor Of the Republican, says
of her, we conclude the aforesaid Charles
did not fall in love with her (late) divine
person, her oratory nor her extreme radical
views. To be sure, Seymour is modest
man and draws it mild-like, but still his
language can DO understood. Hear him:
The Lord only knows what she would
do if wholly released from the restraints
that appertain to her sex. The voice in
which she carries on her monot0nous and
bitter harrangue, is that Of coarse, graf
ing and metallic harshness which would
forbid any instrumental accompaniment,
unles by q Highlander's bag-pipe. The
carping, fault-fnding vein in which she
sticks her CAD into the Republican party,
does not manifest much soundness in her
political sagacity /; and if it is fair indi-
cation of the temper with which she wo'd
conduct social or domestic controversy,
with her chubby whenever she gets
one, we are led to believe her curtain
lectures would cast those Of Mrs. eau
die into the shade. From all such speci-
mems of strong-minded women, we fer
vently pray, good Lord, deliver us )"
from battle and murder, good Lord, de-
liver u.s." from Anna Dickinson, or Mrs.
Caudlc, good Lord, deliver u.s." Farewell
to Anna and if she ever gets husband,
may the Lord have mercy on his soul

The nus Accident.
We cheerfully give place to the letter
below which explains itself. Our state.
ment as to the amount Of injury sustained
by Mr.. Muir, was based on statement
made by some guests Of the Evans House
the morning after or perhaps the same
evening of the accident. 1t is said Mr..
M. intends prosecuting, and he thinks
perhaps the light manner Of our rcferen-
ce to the injuries to the passengers might
possibly prejudice his claim. Such was
no part of our intention. We all felt so
rejoiced that it was no worse that we prob
ably gave less credit to it's seriousness than
it may have deserved. Here is Muif's
50 ELLIS AVENUE, |
CHICAGO, Jan. 22d, 1868. !
Editors "North Iowa Times"
/ yesterday received copy Of yolr
issue of Dec. 18th. in which you notice the
accident connected with the Bus Of the
Evans House. McGregor, on the 23d,
Dec. in which you state "Aobody was hurt
except one man who complaines Of little
soreness in the hip" wish to correct
this statement, being one of the passengers
involved in that accident, and from injuries
then received. am Utterly unable to
walk and yet suffering much pain, with
the too certain prospects of slow recovery,
and the painful uncertainty as to the per-
manency Of my injury.
1 am personally surprised that any per-
son should make to you the statement re-
ferred to in as much rs many of your Cit
liens know had to be carried from the
place of the accident.
Yours Respectfully,
JAMES Muir.
