WORKS IN NEW YORK XARBOR.

On Saturday Gen. Humphreys, Engineer
in Chief of the United States Army, accom-
panied by the Secretary of War, Gems. Sher-
man, Mcdowell, ingalls,, Newton, and host
of other military men, visited the scene of
the improvements at He'll Gate, in New York
harbor. Two years ago Gen. Newton began
the great work-that of removing rock OBJ
structons between Hallets Island and the
land opposite, thus securing safe, short and
important entrance to the harbor for vessels
of large size. When Gen. Newton began
this gigantic undertaking he found that there
were three acres of solid rock to be removed
Sinking shaft to the waters edge he marked
out ten immense cuttings, or alleyways, at
equal distances of fifteen feet. Some of these
cuttings have been bored under the river from
fifty to one hundred and forty feet. The ex-
cursion party descended into the shaft and
went far into one of the cuttings. The water
dripped literally through the roof of the

alleys, sometimes in such quantities that suits
OF waterproof were necessary. The miners
cut under the bed of the river, leaving huge
pillows to support the roof above. In the
alleys a line of rails is laid down, on which
by cars the stone taken out is conveyed to the
surface. Despite the hardness of the quartz
rock, the miners progress at the rate OF nfteen
feet per month. Air COMPRISING machines
are erected on the surface of the pit, and are
connected with each of the ten passages by
pipes, at the end of which machine will be
attached to work a drill. This is the same ar
rangement adopted in boring the Mont Gems
tunnel. The distinguished military party
were treated to a series of blasts, which quite
astonished them, and gave them new ideas of
the power of nitro ycerine. Gen. Newton S
plan for entirely removing the Instructions is
as follows When the entire distance has been
excavated, and all the cross sections and pill
lars have been cut or reduced to the smallest
size, he proposes to blow up the three acres
of rock all at once. Everything is to be filed
with nitro glycerine; all the apertures in
which the exploding material is placed will
be connected with ele ctric wires; then the
water will be let into all the passages and COW
er everything; the battery will explode the
whole mass at the same moment, and all the
rock will sink down into the alleys cut be-
meath, leaving a splen did passage for shipping
of any tonnage. Gen. Newton maintains that
if Congress would give the necessary money
to carry out the task as private enterprise
would be conducted, the Instructions would
be speedily removed.

The I'd Of September, the anniversary of
the surrender of Sedan, was observed in that
city this year as day of special humiliation
and grief Early in the morning the stores
the city authorities assembled in the Catholic
and Protestant churches to honor the memo
ries of the soldiers slain in defense of their
country. The sanctuaries were insufficient to
contain the crowds who were clothed in the
habiliments of mourning. The workshops
were reopened at l o'clock p. M. The whole
demonstration was decorous, quiet, and re-
served, without noisy manifestations, but deep
and absorbing. Silence was the fttest ex-
preston of the national grief.

Accounts from the interior coast of South
Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia state
that the people residing there are seriously
alarmed, owing to the expected tidal wave on
the 9TH or 9th of next month. In many pla-
ces this apprehension amounts to actual con-
sternation and whole families are reported to
be making preparations for hasty departure
whenever the great wave puts in an appear
ance. This alarm is not confined to the I'M
sophisticated people living near the coast only,
but those in the interior and even officials,
both Of the State and the national govern
ments, share the general tidal fright. Under
these circumstances and in order to prepare
for what might be the worst, United States
officer on duty in the Cape Fear Department
addressed a letter to Professor Agassiz on
the subject, who replied in terms that have
since quoted the minds of some to great
extent, though they do not consider the dam
ger yet fully avoided.
Information has been and is being daily re-
ceived by the Department Of Justice and the
War Department, from sources entitled to
full credit, which, if published, would startle
the country as to the extent, designs and for
midable character of the Ku-Klux organize
ton. The recent orders of the South Caro-
lima clans, issued in fear of martial law being
proclaimed, are in possession of the Execu-
tive Department. As an evidence of the
with which they are preparing
for some purpose, evidently mischievous and
seditious, it is known to military officers in
several sections that the local "dens" of the
Ku-Kluy have been engaged in exchanging
arms among themselves, so that the several
bands or battalions might have
uniform arms and arrange fixed ammunition
therefor. Military men, of however limited
experience, will at once understand the sig
nifcance of such action.

If there are still in America any partisans

A Wisconsin paper states that the forests
