Anne Louise, Queen of Sweden and

Frederick William, Prince of Holland,

member of the House Of Nassau. She
was married 10 the King of Sweden and
Norway, then the Prince Royal, on the
18th Of June, 1850, and on the 8lst Of
October, 1851, gave birth TO daughter,
the Princess Louise Joseph Eugenie,

From the New York SUM- 5A
Our readers will remember that while
Gen. Grant was conducting military op-
erations against the Confederates at
Vicksburg in the beginning of the year
1863, he undertook to dig canal across
the neck of the .bottomla land on the west
ern shore, Immediately opposite the city.
His purpose was to open a passage by
which his transports and the naval flo
tilla might pass below Vicksburg without
coming in reach of the guns upon the
Notifications there. This undertaking
was not successful; but it appears that
the current of the river has now taken
up the work, and threatens to cut through
the neck at a point Just below Grant s
canal, and change the channel so as TO
convert Vicksburg into an inland town,
some two or three miles distant from the
river. The subject has been investigated
by the Engineer Corps, and Capt. c. r,
Suter has made a detailed survey and
estimate Of the expenditure that will be
requisite to prevent the dreaded calami-
ty. Captain Suter, who regards the
danger as very serious, thinks that the
best remedy which the case admits of
would be to cover the slope Of the river
bank where it is now wearing away, or
where it may be exposed to wear away
hereafter from low water mark to the
deepest portions Of the channel, with a
layer Of broken stone at least three feet
thick. Above low water mark the bank
should be graded to suitable slope, and
paved one foot thick with stone to the
proper hight. The, total length of
shore to be thus protected is twenty-one
thousand feet, or nearly four miles.
The cost of the work Captain Suter es-
Inmates at two millions and three
quarters Of dollars. His superior
officer, Lieutenant-C Colonel Reynolds,
indorses his report, though he
doubts if the work can be done in
time to prevent the impending disas-
ter, but says that if it is to be done
at all it is of the greatest importance to
commence at once. Gen. Humphreys,
the able Chief of the Engineer corps, con-
ours in the views of Captain Suter and
Colonel Reynolds, and says that if the
river should be allowed to make its way
through the neck, the future landing will
be in locality where the form Of the
river bed will not be so favorable for such
uses as the present The Secretary Of
War, in submitting the matter to the
House of Representatives, does not ask
for the appropriation of the large sum
required for the work, but simply calls
the attention of the House to the fact
that unless prompt and energetic meas
ures are taken to stop the encroach-
ments of the river, the city will lose its
harbor. 1t appears also that Vicksburg
has considerably increased since the war,
and that its present taxable property is
more than 81 100000.

And their eyes were opened, and they
saw the form of Abel like unto an angel.
And they heard the voice of the angel of
death, who said; Behold, life cometh
forth from death, and days are converted
into eternity. It is given to the pure
mind and unto child-like faith to see

From that day Mira mourned no more
