Mr.. D. H. Craig, late general agent of the
New York Associated Press, is said to have
perfected his new system of telegraphy, to
the development of which he has been devot-
ing his time and means for three years past,
with results that can hardly fail to effect an
entire revolution in telegraphy, by reducing
its cost to rate very little above the pres.
ent rates of postage. Mr. Craig has sold
out his residence at Peeksllil and returned
to New York, where he viii engage in the,
management of the news business in con

SHELLS ON THE LEvEE.-The Picayune
sa VS. "1the Administrator of Commerce has
in reduced resolution into the. Council
aui horizing the Administrator of Improve
mel ITS to have placed on the levee some
seyt uty-five thousand barrels of shells,
with the view Of preparing it fort the com
ing f. al business. The complaints of cap
tains and agents of steamers last year in
refere nee to the muddy condition of the
levee should stimulate the proper authori-
ties to such action as will prevent any SINH
lar com plants this season."
A per- sonal inspection of the large guam
titles of shells, fresh from Barataria, now
piled on the levee, will show that the Ad-
ministrat or of Improvements has antici-
pated the need contemplated by the reso-
luton in Iestion.

benevolent appliances as the whip, the lash,
the thumbstrings, the standing raj, and q
bounteous supply Of bread and water. q
sufficient quantity of boots and shoes, cloth
ing, tinware, and other merchantable ar
ticles, might be wrung to increase the bank
accounts and add to the annual comforts OF
the dispensers of the city's charity
The most pretentious philanthropist, or
the meekest pharisee will hardly claim the
virtue of beneyolence for a system which
binds to hard labor and brutal treatment
within the four walls of a prison, for sins
which true charity would blush to hold
them accountable, boys of the ages above
mentioned. ~ .-aJ tn
e Many Of those boys-those supposed OBJ
jects of city charity-are fully able. and ex-
press q willingness, to hew cut an honest
livelihood for themselves, and to all appear
ances they are as capable of doing SO, ana
possess as much, if not more, OF the eie,
ments,. necessary to honorable and use1ui
citizenship as any of the indl vlduais Sc
lected with such forethought and care to
direct their youthful footsteps and form
their growing minds. s.,
But these comments and Suggestions
amount to nothing. They will pass as IN
needed as the idle wind; yet, let the course
of those having authority in the matter be
what it may, your jury will believe that the
sooner a Jail wall is placed between society
and Messrs. Henry and Schwind, the better
it will be for society. 49,
AS the only redeeming feature connected
with the Refuge, your jury deems it just to
mention the commendable and trustworthy
conduct of Mr.. Harrison, the master tin
ner of the Institution.
The homeless and friendless boys are
unanimous in their praises of Mr. Harrison,
and your jury is convinced that that gentle
man fully deserve them.
Capiases were issued at once for the ar
rest of Messrs, Henry and Schwind.

THE LEyEE.-The unsightly holes on the
Ievee filed with puddles of water, which
last season made it difficult for the passage
of loaded vehicles, are now filed up, and
leEeled Off This bad condition of the 1evee
was partly caused by the laying of the.
New Orleans and Mobile railroad track,
which INSTRUCTED the passage of the rain
water to the cutters. To remedy this evil,
the City Surveyor has reversed the drain
age, and the rain water now runs into the
river, instead of remaining on the leyee,

heretofore.
