The Greatest Undertaking of the Ago.

From the Leavenworth Commercial
The unusual activity manifested ofiate by
the merchants and leading capitalists OF 81.
Louis, in view of the alleged feasibility Of
diverting the immense grain trade OF the
Northwest from Chicago 10 ~. Louis, has
aroused the grain deaIefs OF chicago TO
sense Of their danger, and with the prompt.
ness for which that city is famous, her com.
mission merchants have already devised a
plan not only TO Illustrate the designs of st.
Louis, bat one which, if successfully carried
out, will seriously damage the foreign com
merce of New York, and particularly ami.
hilate Buffalo, Oswego and other great grain
entrepots on the lakes, and make Chicago
uuquestionably the greatest commercial city
on the continent.
The enterprise referred to is the turning
he waters of the great lakes into the Miss.
issippi river, by means Of . mammoth ship
canal, of a contemplated width Of one thou.
sand feet, and with an average depth Of
sixty. With the fall that can be secured be-
tween Chicago and the mouth of the canal
at point on the Mississippi, which the Di.
rectors do not reveal for prudential reasons
lspeculatye) it is claimed that the entire
drainage of the lakes can be made by this
artificial means, lessening Niagara Falls to
about onetenth its present volume.
The Mississippi river will DO so much
augmented in size that the largest vessels in
the world can navigate its waters. Steam
tugs of extraordinary power will bring sail.
ing vessels from New Orleans 10 Chicago in
four days.
The feasibility Of this startling project is
pronounced by the most accomplished engi.
neers, among whom is b. Is. Graham, Of the
British service, who has built similar work,
on A smaller scale, in India
II is estimated that the cost Of the work
will be $s4,OOO0OO, 100000 Of which
will be required to pay for private property
condemned as necessary for this great work.
Low water on the Mississippi would then
be forever unknown, and the 1t. Lawrence
would be but a small river. That the bene
fit which Chicago expects te derive from this
vast enterprise would accrue to her alone,
aud not be shared to any extent by st. Louis
or rival cities is unquestionable. No one
will pretend to claim that city capable Of
originating and carrying out 30 great pro.
ject, is not fully competent TO secure and
retain all the commerce resulting from it, or
in short, the commerce Of the world.

Another Victory.

The president has achieved another yicto.
~. Colonel Bane lost Au arm in the ser.
vice, and was appointed by "A. D." in the
fourth district of Illinois, as Ja,ted States
assessor. Grant went for him. The
Oquawka Spectator says that Gen Grant
has done worse than the rebels they took
off his arm; Grant has taken off his head
officially, and appointed to the office from
which the manned soldier was removed a
civilian who never smelt any more rebel
powder during the war than did the veriest
"copperhead" in the country.--Reoria Dem.
