SHIP CANAL.
From Rev Orleans to RigOIesz,

From the New Orleans Crescent, of Friday.l
The project OF opening communication
between the Mississippi river and tide
water, by means o. canal from some
point near New Orleans to the Rigolets,
IS ore which, If contaminated, can
scarcely fail to be CT immense advantage
70 the city. Such a canal Is proposed by
a company chartered at the lest session
Of the Legislature. 1t IL to commences
10 the vicinity Of CSTr0lltOn, whence il
Sill follow q lice inside of the ridge. say
nasr the line Of BFosd street, and from
the city limits by 9 direct Touts to the
Rgoists. The shallower water outside
of the Rig0lets Is TO be deepened, and
thus communication by a straight line of
not more than f0rty-five miles, say from
New Orleans TO Ship Island, Is to be
opened with the deep waters of the Cult.
There can be no doubt OF the vast i'm

HENRY $. FGOTE.
What the New Orleans Times
Thinks Of EEle Old Veteran.

II Tennessee has cause to groan te-
meath the heel of Its tiendish ruler,
Brownlow, it has no lsss cause for sorrow
in owning as q citizen the Ishmselite
Henry S Foote. This Viearious politi.
clan unItes the vanity of the peafOWl to
the temper Of the turkey gobbleT, and
was, undoU btedly, the originator OF the
system Of cRrpet-baggery, since carried
to stupend0us perfection by such social
heroes as Yarmouth, Conway, Shelley
and other confrerss. As General BGum's
idea OF the art of wsr was reducible TO
two propositions to cut up aud TO COB
bic up"-so Foote'S idea Of politics Is to
get into everything, and to abuse every
body. He has the ambition OF the silly
esgle, who sosTei to the sun, ana gene
rally has met with the same fate. Born
in Virginia, he commenced ofiice-hunt-
ing in that State, but finding it rsther
uphill work, removed 10 Mississippi,
where he was more successful. The pso-
pie OF his new home finally tiTing OF
him, be Went 10 California in pursuit Of
tbe II -sb pots, but not meeting with the
success with which insutisrable vanity
hsd prompted his imagination, returned
to Mississippi, where he lived when the
war broke out, and by means Of which
be again rode into prominence, only TO
be the first TO desert the cause he was
among the first TO espouss. He subse
qUently tried to plant his anchors ia New
York but by this time F0ote had come
to be pretty well understood and pretty
well deepieed. Ia despair, he emigrsted
TO Tennessee, where he mas since passed
his time in writing foolish letters, until 1T

one day "Oid Bullion " withered him

the great Calhoun. He covered himself
with infany by his flendish attacks on

serting his GoloTs Ia the hour OF utmost
need. Yet this insolsnt, presEming in
trufer thrusts himself forward as q rep
resentative Of the Southern peop'e-hls

further Rstlicsl views in regard to negro

The terrible event occurred during the

On the 18th it commenced to rain, and
OF the 18th genuine rain and wind set

If the very fl9odgates OF heaven had
opened, and that g second deluge was

with dreadful fury, aud ali the elements
seemed combined FOR some dreadful car
mage. We little thought what was in
store for our beautiful city. But soon the
tale was told and the destruction COM
plete. The storm lasted untn late In the
evening OF the 18Th. During its contln-
usnce it appeared as II no human being
could live within lis reach. The Alamos
river was swollen 20 great hight, and

son aud u. NJ. Sherley.
The committee, af.er 8 brief retire.
ment, returned with the following pre-
smble and resolutions, WhIcn were
adopted:
WHEREAS, It has pleased the Sover-
eign Russr of the Universe to take from
among as, IN manner so sudden and
unexpected, Wm. Garvin, E.q., who for
nearly half century has been u resident
OF this city, and who, during the greater
part of To 5 long period, has occupied sn
exalted position ss merchant, having
possessed in an eminent degree these
qualities of head and heart which so sig
nslly crowned his isbors in the position
he adorned;
Aud whereas, I. is proper that the
name of one SC dear to US and to whom
the city Is so much indebted for its
growth apd prosperity, should be per-
petusted; be it therefore,
ResoLUeG, That in the death OF VIM.
Garvin the mercantile community has
lost one OF Its brightest and most cher
ished ornaments; one who was distin-
guished for sagaeity, enterprise, untirlng
energy, liberslity and the highest grade
of mercantile honor; one who, from first
TO last, stood in the foremost rank with
those who pushed forward the great en-
,erprises which have contributed so much
to the permanent prosperity of the city.
Society has lost gentleman by nature,
polished in manners, noble without being
aris.ccratic, just without severity, liberal
without Oscillation, warm hearted and
true; the poor, whom we always have
among US, are bsreft of friend inde ed :;
the onurch Of an humble, CONSTANT
member, whose example and counsel she
can lily spare, and whose place ID will be
hard TO fiil his family of devoted hus-
band. an stfsetlonats father, kind bene.
factor and the city OF Louisville of q
good man, whose name will be honored
and Ievered By those who survive him.
Resolved, That we tender to the friends
and relations of our deceased friend cur
heartfelt sympathy In this hour of their
great sffi ction.
Resolved, That as a mark Of respect to
our departed friend, the Board of Trade
rooms be drsped Ia mourning and its

DlVYsEONOF STATES.
Texas, Michigan, New York and
PennsyIVania 10 be Divided.

| We suppose that Texas i5 doc med tC
he divided into several States. Congress
has entertained the proposition and will
probably carry it into effect, whether
| the people want it or not.
But Michigan asks to be divided into
| two States. The people of the upper pc
| Dinsula are IN effect so separated by nat
urai boundaries, and put 10 such incOn-
venienees thereby, that they have petit
| toned Congress for 8 separate State
Government. They claim thst they DO
not get q fair showing 10 legislation, and
that a separation would be greatly for
their interests, ard would not work in
jury TO the southern section Of the State.
The proposed name Of the new State is
OntonAgOn.
There is a proposition also to divide
New York, the city aLd few adjacent
counties TO form the new State Of Man
haitian. And it is not by any means
impossible that this will be done some
day. The people OF the metropolis are
greatly dissatisfied with the way the Tu-
raj districts legisiste for them. The
country chaps think that they must reg
ulate the city, take care OF its morsls,
regulate its police, and prescribe other
wise for its municipal welfare. This is,
Of course, Objectionable to the city. But
80 long as New YORK city is Democratic
there is not much likelihood Of the par
tition. II it would send "loil Senators
to Congress it is very probable the
scheme would succeed.
1t has, also, been broaehed to divide
Pennsylvania by the mountsin range,
the western portion taking the name Of
TrsnsylVsnia.
This would not be so bad, if We could
be assured that there would be sn i'm
provement IN the style of Rspreseta-
tives. When we look at Senators, like
Nys, of Nevada, P0meroy, Of Kansas,
or Thayer, Of Nebraska, we shiVsr with
dread at what Ontansgon and quintu-
pied Texas might send US
