The LAKE BoRGAE CANAL-In the St. Louis Re-

ing news in reference to the prosecution Of this most
important Improvement:
One of the officers of the Mississippi and Mexican
Gulf Ship Canal Company was in ST. Louis yesterday,
on business relating to the shipment of machinery for
the prosecution of the grand work of connecting the
Mississippi river with Lake Borgne, ten miles below
New Orleans. We learn from him that two of the
machines have already gone through that the neces-
boats have ali been built that by the first of No
vember the company will have FIVE large dredgeboats
at work on the canal and that it is expected to COM
plete the job By the first of July The distance from
the river to Lake Borgne is five and half miles, in
cluding two and halt miles of Bayou Dupres The
length OF the excavation will therefore, be three miles
The canal will be $50 wide and twelve feet deep with
lock $50 feet long aud IS feet wide. By this work
the distance viii be shortened from New Orleans to
Mobile about fifteen miles, and to the deep water Of
the Gulf about seventy miles sea. going vessels draw
ing less than ten twelve feet of will be en-
abled to sail within fifteen miles of New Orleans there
by saving l5 miles of towage up and down the Misss

Meeting the Mississippi with the deep of the Gulf
of Mexico. St. Louis feels warm interest in this
project and citizens will rejoice that length is
about to be put in the way of early completion.

BEGINNING OF THE SOUTHERN PAcIFIc RAILROAD
The following from the New York Herald of late
date is worthy of perusal:
Generals Rosecrans and Sedgwck were advertised
in San Francisco to leave that city the 18th ultimo
for San Diego the seaport at the southern extremity
of the State of California, there to inaugurate the
work on the San Diego and Gila railroad, and Mr.
Seward was also to be present to assist in the
monies Of breaking ground. Funds sufficient to build
the road to the Ga river have been subscribed This
the beginning of the Southern continental railway line
A company, headed by Gen Fremont, has been or
gansed East to beg in at Memphis, Tenn and thence
to build road soutbwestwardly, through Arkansas
and Texas to Ell Paso the Rio Grande thence across
the table lands to the Ga river and down its valley,
or it. to junction with this San Diego branch
From the Mississippi river this is much shorter route
to the Pacific than that of the Union Pacific
road and as it fanks the Rocky Mountains and the
Sierra Nevada chain, may be built all the way
the Plains 1t is also below the region of interrupting
SHOWS, and the work of building it, and of running it
when completed, may be continued without the stop
page of day from wintry storms. With anything
like the enterprise which built the Union Pacific this
Southern road ought to be finished within two years.
for there will be comparatively little to do in building
it beyond marking out the line and laying the ties and
rails When finished, it will be the main line for
through travel; but there will be work enough not
only for the two continental roads, which will then
be in operation, but for one or two more. In the
building up of a half dozen States, the Union
Pacific will soon be an immensely profitable line, aud
with the Southern Pacific in tapping the undevel-
oped resources of Western Texas and Of New Mexico
and Arizona and of the Northern States of the Mexi
can Republic, and the vine and olive lands of South
ern California, the most productive in the world
In this connection it will be seen that Gen Rose
in better business than he would be in running
as the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio
General Fremont we believe is now in Europe raising
money for the main line from Memphis westward. He
only asks the right Of way and certain territorial lands
along the line, from Congress- for with thesa aud the
liberal grants offered by Texas, he calculates upon
building the road without the further assistance of
Government bonds We think, too, that this basis
the road ought to be pushed through without difficulty
considering the advantages Of the route the ghtness
of the work and the profits sure to follow.
