The Tehuantepec Canal.

Two communication are publishe,
from NJ. Fernandez, one ,s the engineer
Of the Commission appointed by til,
Mexican Government to cooperate will
the American surveying party. In th'
first of these, he says 81 have Off
cially informed you of the results of on
reconnaissance, which are very satisfac
tory, because they manifest clearly th,
practicability of supplying the projected
canal with n suiliciency of water, prin
cipally from the river Goatzacoalcos
Although the distance that the water
has to be brought and the difficulties oil
the soil will render the work costly.
believe that for political and commercial
reasons the United States will prefer this
to any other route. All our efforts now
are toward presenting the project in the
most convenient and economical manner
We lMexicans) are especially interested
in studying the question under all pos.
sible aspects, and in proposing all the
measures we can for its realization, in
view Of the great influence which it will
exercise on the future welfare of our
country"
In the second of these, Senor Fer
nande2 reports as follows: The main
course of the Goatzacolcaos runs in many
parts between mud embankments, form
ing heavy torrents, in which the water
rushes with 9rert velocity, but as we as
cended we noted that the bed of the
stream increased il width, and the
hight of the cascade diminished. with
out materially deere ing the volume OF
Ton 1..x- Ia
found no other aflu of importance,
and it appears that e river makes no
great curves from its main course. The
measurement of the volume, made at 5
and T! miles above the confluence Of the
Balance, gave 81 cubic yards per see
ond, quantity which is estimated as
sufficient for the supply of the canal
When we were on the left bank Of the
river, near III miles east of Santa Maria,
the barometer indicated nearly the same
hight of water as the Chivela. At this
point the natives of Santa Maria refused
to proceed further, and returned to their
village, obliging us to retreat for want
OF provisions. Nevertheless, we obtain
ed an important result, namely: that
the Goatzacoalcos can supply the water
required Tor the canal nj elevated points.
Besides, there is well-founded expec-
tation that upon ascending the river an
of greater hight than the Tarifa
table lands will be found with an abun-
dant supply of water. With the view
to exactneej, and to ascertain how to
conduct the water most conveniently
and economically, Mr.. Fuertez, with some
members of the American Commission.
has again left for the river, and will exc
cute this branch of the work. In the
mean time l shall employ myself and
the Commission under my charge, in
the rivers Chicopa and Astuta,
which We have not as yet explored, and |
will return to Goatzacoalcos. The re-
of the lakes of the South |
has been commenced by the officers of /
the American ship of war, who We're
sent for that purpose.

4 Mirage In Mobile BAY.

The day was mild calm, and partially
cloudy. The vessels in the bay were
attended by images of themselves hang
ing above them in the sometimes
doubled, and generally distorted and
imperfect. There was, however, one
splendid exception to this rule. Far up
the bay-ten, twelve, fifteen miles, or
more-lay bark at anchor only her
upper spars being visible. Immediately
above her hung an inverted image of
herself, distinctly visible and perfect in
all its parts, but with its masts pointing
downward, aud its hull above. Imme-
diately above this last-keel to keel
floated third presentiment of the same
bark, restored 10y double inversion to its
proper position. The two phantom
barks were distinct aud clearly defined !;
the real one was imperfect. Away in
the farther distance the cloud that hung
over the bay was fecked, on its utmost
verge, with u . images of white sails, the
originals of which lay entirely beyond
the range of vision. Some of these aerinl
photographs appeared, from the direc-
tion. to be taken from vessels at or very
near the Mobile wharves, thirty miles on.

matter A warrior volunteered 10 crawl
up and get a scalp; and the Snakes, to
cover his action, advanced once more as
if to battle. The enemy, however, was
on the lookout and when the warrior
had nearly reached the dead body Of his
adversary, well-directed shot from the
hill killed him. Washaliie, seeing the
fate of his warrior, rushed forward amid
a shower Of bullets, and, totally regard
less Of the danger he was ia himself, cut
the scalp from the head of the Indian
and, unharmed, returned With it in
triumph to his warriors. 1t Is marvellous
that the brave old man was not killed.
Washakie Mt once set ont on his return
to the village a. the agency, and entered
his camp amid the plaudits of the whole

The following dag party of Snake
warriors went out to the bait .n.held and
brought i'll six more scalps The de-
feated Indians had hastily. decalnped,
leaving their dead on the ground. This
was most uusual but as they were dis
mounted they of course could not carry
them of, and probably thought they had
no time to spare to bury them. Wash
axle lost in this affair one man killed, and
had three wounded, of whom one will
die. The Indians he fought with, who
were at first supposed to be Sioux, turn
ed out to be Northern Cheyennes. They
numbered ~ men, and lost eight killed
and all their stock The defeated In
dians retreated in the direction of Big
Beaver where there is at present
column of cavalry scouting from Camp
Stambaug. II is believed that those
who escaped from the Snakes will fall
into the hands of the cavalrymen. OF.
course, being of their reservation with
ont authority and on the war-path, these
Cheyennes, if found by the United
States troops, will be treated rs hostile.
Col. Bartlett, who commands in Wind
River, is of tho opinion that this battle
will lead to general war between the
Snakes and the Cheyenncs and their
Sioux allies. II is indeed highly prob
able we shall soon have some more In

The New Treaty.

The Treaty was reported back to II
| United States Senate from the Foreign
/ Committee, and Mr.. Cameron briefly
explained it. Senator Morton made q
short speech in its favor, and Senator
Casserly spoke against it. There is
more doubt expressed as to the ratitica-
tion of the Treaty than has been before.
1t is reported that Senators Cameron,
Harlan, Morton and Hamlin signed the
report in favor of ratification, and that
Patterson. Schuez and Casserlv declined
to add their names, either because they
desired to amend it, OF because they OPP
posed it altogether.
In the English House of Lords, Earl
Russell gave notice of his intention to
move an address to the Queen against
sanctoning the ratification of the Ala
bama Treaty, in case the arbitrators are
bound by rules or conditions other than
the law of nations and English munich
pal laws existing during the civil war in
the United States, when the alleged
depredations upon American commerce
We're committed.
The Government press of Canada give
a rather equivocal support to the Treaty
OF Washington, while the opposition
journals, on the contrary, are very de-
cided in their expressions of disapproval,
holding that to grant to the citizens of
the United States the right to fish in
Canadian water, may make it unneces-
sary for the American Government to
adopt a policy of reciprocity. Nova
Seotia and New Brunswick and the Jour
nails that represent the French-speaking
population of Ontario, are in favor of
rejecting the portion of the Treaty af-
fectlng Canada. The GiObe thinks that
self-inte1est should direct the people of
Canada in their consideration of the
Treaty, while at the same time it rec
ommends that a difference of opinion in
the matter between Great Britain and
the Dominion should be avoided.
The House Of Assembly of New
Brunswick is debating the terms of the
new Treaty, which is meeting great OPP
position

FRANKLIN's GIFT DR.. Franklin used
to wish that he might, after good long
nap. live the last half of his allotted
years some time in the Nineteenth Cen
tury. His equanimity, the greatest with
which a great man was ever endowed,
might be Il little disturbed if he should
wake up just now in Boston He left by
will small sum of money, the income
of which was to be lent to young mar
ried artifcers. " This has been invested
and reinvested, until it now amounts to
more than $50, ,0O0 but no young mar
ried artiticer has ever been favored with
a farthing of it. 1t is now proposed to
lend it in small sums to persons Of moder-
ate means, to enable them to secure neat
and comfortable homes in the vicinity of
the City of Boston.

man who said that sick man had no
feeling"
