to test the native genius Of our petitioner.
we replied in French, when, at once, she
retOrted in the same language. We then
had recourse to sentence in Italian but
she spoke back in much better Italian than
we could command. At last: in despair.
we took shelter in Latin. "Bsgorra your

After throwing off the mask of words in

account Of the treaty projected between

The Belgian government knew Of its ex-

In the House of Lords Earl Granville, in
reply to question from Lords StratfOrd and
Radcliffe, said he was unable to state where
the Times obtained the text Of the treaty.
After the announcement of the existence of
such remarkable document, it would be
the duty of France and Prussia immediately
and spontaneously to explain the matter to
Europe.
Disraeli, in the House of Commons to
night. after questioning the foreign Office in
regard to the reported treaty, denounced
the government for withholding the CORES
pondence on the subject. He declared Eng
land could never have tolerated such a
proposition. The extinction of the King
dom OF Belgium would be n calamity to
Europe. He hoped the government would
give all the particulars.
Gladstone said he was sorry the papers
were not ready for submission, and that he
was unable to give the information re-
quired, or explain how the project became
public. Its purpOrt certainly was astound-
ing, and doubtless the powers implicated
would explain the mystery.

ment has contracted with parties in America

The meeting at Galway to sympathize

yesterday, proved failure, only about

FLANKING THE BAR.


NEW ORLEANS, La, July 25, 1870.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN: .....
You publish in your issue of Saturday an
interesting letter from Mr.. Highly to the St.
Louis Democrat, relative to the bar at the
mouth of the Mississippi, and proposed
ship canal near Fort St. Philip 1t is well
that Congress should order the survey indi-
Gated, but am satisfied that too much inn
portance has been given to the report by
Mr.. Montague. From a gentleman who
assisted Mr.. Montague, learn that the sur
vey was Of hasty and superficial charac-
ter, and that but little reliance can be
placed on the published statements.
visited the locality in person before taking
hold Of the Lake Borgne project, and satis-
fed myself that the proposed canal was not
possible.
The excavation would have to be ex-
tended much further out into the Gulf than
is stated, and Britton Isle would furnish the
poorest kind Of a harbor. Had Mr. Highly
given the subject personal investigation,
he would, think, conclude that the Lake
Borgne canal will furnish the best means to
flank the bar at the mouth of the Mississippi
am happy to add that only nine thousand
feet have now to be excavated to finish a
canal twelve feet deep and fifty feet wide,
up to the bank of the Mississippi, and this
first cut will be opened for business in No
vember. The completion of the lock and
the second cut will require two or three ad-
ditiOnal months.
Respectfully, JAMES o. MOVES.

Jackson Railroad Extension.

There are two hundred men employed on
the extension of the New Orleans, jackson
and Great Northern Railroad, from the
depot to the margin Of the river. They COM
menced working on Saturday at noon, and
worked all that night and Sunday. And St.
Joseph street, where they broke ground,
already shows the effects of their labor.
Between Carondelet and St. Charles, the
rails are laid, and from St. Charles to Camp,
the work was nearly or quite completed
last night.
The contractors, Messrs. John McCann
and Chris Wild, expect that within two
weeks the whole extension, from the depot
to the levee, will be completed. The extern
sion of the road is to run along the levee up
to the grain elevator in what was Jefferson
City. There will also be branch extend
ing from the depot to the Gas Works. This
track will cross a bridge on the New Basin,
the object of this last being to transport
coal from the gas company's landings to
their works. The new depot will be ON the
levee at the foot of St. Joseph street. near
the depot of the Chattanooga Railroad.
The depot at the levee will be the freight
depot, while the old depot will be used for
the present as depot for passengers only.
Messrs. McCann and Wild, the gentlemen
engaged in laying the rails for this extern
sion, are both men of great energy, and the
work will be rapidly completed in their
hands. Mr.. McCann has the reputation of
being the best layer of rails in the country.

Death of Captain ID. n. Greenleaf.

We copy the following from the St. Louis
Democrat:
This gentleman, the well known industri-
Gus agent of the Mississippi Valley Trans
portation Company, died in keokuk on
Wednesday night His remains were put
ON board the packet Andy johnson, and will
arrive this morning, and be borne to the
grave by sorrowing friends. For some
weeks past his health was rather imperfect,
and he was on his way to st. Paul on the
Phil. Sheridan, with his family, in the belief
that the climate of Minnesota would bring
about quick recovery; but his condition
becoming worse, he was taken ashore to a
hotal at keokuk, where he breathed his last
after few days suffering. He was about
forty years of age, and seemed until lately to
possess a vigorous constitution. He GER
tainly was remarkably energetic, and was
as well known as any boatman at this port
We believe that D. N. Greenleaf was born
in the western part of Virginia-in Wheel
ing or its vicinity. We first knew him as
clerk of the ST. Louis and Cincinnati steam
er Altamont. His first employment on a st.
Louis owned boat was as first clerk Of the
Challenge. Captain Lloyd 7. Belt, which
ran in the Illinois and to New Orleans. He
was also on the TrOpic, in the Missouri and
the Illinois trades. He was subsequently
commander of the A. Mcdowell, in the Mis-
souri, and New Orleans trades: commanded
the Albert Pearce and the MOllie Able, and
also the Yellowstone, in which he had pur-
chased an interest. He was very careful in
his habits. and leaves his family comfort
able home in this city.

The Cincinnati Gazette saws:

The new barge for the Mississippi Trans
portation Company, which will be launched
at Mound City by Hambleton, to-day, is the
largest ever built ON Western waters, it
having carrying capacity Of 1900 tons.
Hitherto the capacity of the barges owned
by the company has been from 900 to 1900
tons, and from three to five barges have
constituted a ''tow" This barge of 1900
tons capacity was builtas an experiment to
decide whether quicker time can not be made
with two barges, say of 1900, than with four
barges, each carrying 900 tons. The cost OF
the new barge is about $4,000. A short
time since barge of 1900 tons was built at
Cincinnati, which is now at st. Louis. 1t
cost Sl4,OO0. These barges are covered, and
ing and damage from bilse water: They
have more carrying capacity than the gen
eral run Of New Orleans steamers.

We find this in an exchange:

William Maggie, the son of widow resd-
ing in Newark, enlisted at the age of fifteen
as a soldier in the late war, and went away
drummer boy. For bravery he won pro-
motion, and at nineteen he wore the stripes
of an officer. While lying in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. he was accused by the assistant
surgeon of his regiment Of stealing his watch.
This so incensed young Maggie that he
struck the surgeon with rawhide. The
assistant surgeon drew his revolver but was
shot down Immediately by pistol in the
hands of General Maggie. A civil tribunal
acquitted him, but atterward court mar
tial cashiered him, and sentenced him to
five years in the State Prison at Saltwater,
Wisconsin. 1t is by the combined efforts Of
Ex-Governor Ward, of New Jersey, that he
is set at liberty, after an imprisonment OF
fifteen months, during which time he has
conducted himself like a gentleman.

yesterday as bearer of a special message,
relating, in part to Cuban affairs, to our
Ministers in London, Paris, Berlin and

Consul General Roesing, of the North
German Confederation, states there is no
truth whatever in the cable telegram that
the Prussian authorities have instructed
their Consuls to furnish free passage and
outfit to all Germans wishing to return
home and enter the nrmy.
1t is stated that twenty thousand Ger
mans in this city are now ready to vOlun-
teer. but the cOnsuls can receive only such
as are still subjects of Prussia and liable to
its military service, and those are now
called upon to report to the cOnsuls in the
places where they reside, and hold them
selves in readiness to return and join the
army.
General Sigel offers to lead division of
German volunteers, to make a descent on
