THE RIVER INTERPRETATIONS
DER FROM GEN, CANDY.

It will be seen by the annexed order
from Military Headquarters, says the
Index, which was received by Mayor
Pearse, Monday morning, through the
Military Commissioner for this Divi-
sion--that General Candy has given
his permission for the people of Peters,
burg to decide by vote, whether or not
the sum of 100000 shall be appropri-
ated to the improvement of our River
Channel. lie has lost no time in issuing
this order, though by oversight or in
tention, the vote is to be polled in two
days, instead of three as enacted by
the Council. This, however, will make
no difference, as, by having the neces-
sary number of Board of Election--all
at the Court House--the voting might
be completed in one day.
General Candy decides as to who
may vote on the proposition. All citi-
zens, who have resided here twelve
months and are subject to taxation
shall be entitled to vote
