Improvement of the Mouth of the NIissis.

Purpose. r--

Purpose.
From the st. Louis Democrat t..+a
A vast deal of money has been expended
by the government at one time and another,
for the purpose of removing the bar at the
mouth of the Mississippi river-seeminyly
thus far to no purpose. A further apDrO-
priation was made by the Congress lust
adjourned, and from New Orleans comes TO
us the following letter concerning the mat
ter:
New ORLEANS. July, 1870.
Editors Missouri Democrat:
In a letter Just received from the Hon. j.
S. Harris, he says $500, 900 has been appro-
priated to improve the mouth Of the Missis-
sippi river.
Major Howell, the engineer in charge here,
saws he will have his new plan of improved
machinery on the 'Essayons,' done and at
work on the bar by the middle of August.
This new machinery is kind of plOw,
which is fastened on the boat in front Of the
digger, TO break mp the humps and protect
the digger from breaking. He also expects
the moul boards viii carry the mud up. to
be carried off by the upper current. If sue
cessfill, it will soon make eighteen or twenty
feet of water over Pass-A-rOutre.
There has been eighteen feet over the
Southwest Pass the past year, where there
has been no work done. A memorial has
been sent to the War Department to have a
canal surveyed from just below Fort st.
Phillip from the river to BrittOn Isle Pass
(six miles, into thirty feet water, and for a
report to the next Congress of its feasibility.
| This canal was surveyed in 1861 by Mr..
Montague, celebrated engineer, who made
a full report for private corporation who
| held State charter to collect tonnage on
vessels coming into this port through the
canal Now, il. the present Essay on New
| Machinery should not succeed in keeping
| the water expected. she may keep eighteen
| feet till the canal is done, which seems to be
| the harJor outlet and inlet worthy of this
| great river and its commerce.
| This work the States bordering on the
Mississippi river will ask the government to
build, and offer free to all ships. We are
assured of plenty foreign steam tonnage
here after August by sAips drawing less
than eighteen feet l.. G.. HIGBY.
An outlet to the sea, available for vessels
of the heaviest draught. will in time he fur
nished to New Orleans. Whether it viii
be by the Lake Borgne Canal, the Fort st.
Philip Canal, or be accomplished by
dredging away the bar, remains undeter
mined. That she shall have relief in thii
respect, and that without delay, seems im
perativcly demanded. We question very
much the ability of a single boat like thu
EssayOns to open and maintain a channe
to depth of more than eighteen TO twent,
| feet. and therefore we incline to the OpiniC1
| that. from some point or other, a canal mus
afford the much needed facility.

National Congress on Penitentiary and
RefOrmatory Discipline.

Through the courtesy of j. II. Henry
ESQ. Superintendent of the Boys House of
Refuge. We have received pamphlet. an
nouncing the meeting of a national con-
gress on penitentiary and reformatory dis
cipline, to be held in Cincinnati from the
eleventh to the twentieth of October next
and containing programme ofthe proceed
ings of the congress. The pamphlet con-
tains also. a very able paper on the princi
pies of prison discipline, suggested for the
consideration OF the proposed congress.
A most interesting portion of the proceed
ings of this Congress will be the reading of
papers on all subjects relating to prison dis
cipline and penitentiary reform, furnished
by the best authorities on these subjects,
namely, men and women who have spent
years Of study on prison discipline with the
furnished not only from various parts of the
United States. but from Canada, Eng
land Ireland, Prussia, Denmark and
France. Among others, we mention
The Substitution of Reformation Sen
fences for Time Sentences" by NJ.
d Hill, Esq, Bristol, England; an
definite sentences, how far practicable, and
how to be guarded against abuse" by Hon.
T. w. Dwight LII. D.. President Columbia
ment in criminal punishment" by Miss
Florence Nightingale, London; ''The rela-
ton of insanity to crime," by s. G. Howe,
NJ. D., President Massachusetts Board State
Charities, etc.
The paper on the principles of prison dis
cipline will commend itself to the favorable
attention of all philanthropists and thinkers.
The main idea is the organization of crimi
nal punishment for crime not as a
vindictive penalty, but as a means
of reformatiOn and by inducing such
system as will test the prisoners
reformation. so that he can once more have
the avenues of honest industry opened to
him. and be no longer compelled perforce to
war against society because society can not,
on any terms, make peace with him. In
the words of the address: g 1t is the want OF
guaranty of his reformation that builds
wall of granite between the discharged
convict and honest bread This wall it is
proposed to break down, by furnishing to
society a guaranty of the prisoners re-
formation. said guaranty being founded
upon test, that will leave little room for
fraud or deception.
The proposed congress. and the objects
for which it will assemble. is worthy OF the
utmost attention from all who have the
welfare of society at heart.
