DEEPENING JAMES RIVER. - The
work is constantly going on, but seems no
nearer finished than years ago. Why :?
Because the. channel is being constantly
filled by debris, coming from above
Ricketts,. Whence comes the mud, gravel,
stones and other material that is constantly
filling the navigable channel of the river?
If we are not mistaken, no engineer of the
work has undertaken to stop the channels
of supply. The mud, the water holds in
suspension at the time of food, comes
fIon the head waters of the river, and is
not deposited in the main channel, but on
the flats and in the swamps bordering on
the river, from the falls to salt water. The
sand is deposited in bars in the channel, or
on the channel bank, as, for instance, after
any considerable flood, the dock lock gates
are blockaded by q sand bar the gravel,
stones, &C., are deposited in the deepest
water, and can only be removed
by the dredging machine. Now,
where does this coarse, heavy ma
terial come from? Certainly not
from above Basicus Dam, for that
would retain all substances not held in sus-
pension in the.,water. Undoubtedly the lar
ger portion of the debris that is being
dredged from the river channel comes from
the city, the hills and ravines in its vicinity
and between the city, Manchester and Basis
Gus Dam, eight miles up the river, and the
Iron Works that make the bed of the river
place of deposit for the ashes, sand and
clay, which is washed down by the usual
high waters, to be excayated by dredging
machines from the river channel at the ex-
pense of the city and the United States.
VIII the engineer and committee in charge
of the eriverinprovement investigate, and, if
we are right, report plan TO stop tho sup
ply? e~
We have a querry Tor them to answer !:
Would it not be cheaper to remove the ma
terial composing the bar between Mayoe's
bridge and Rockets before, than after, it
has been washed down into the ship cham
mel?

FLooD IN RoCHEsTER.-On the night
of the Goth inst, in what is called West
Rochester, there occurred the greatest
freshet ever known in town. The north
and south branches did the damage from
the Mountains to White river, carrying
away five mills, including large circu-
lar saw mill belonging to o. +. Blodgett
with large amount of logs and lumber.
People were driven from their dwellings
to safer positions, on the hills, while
others were completely hemmed in, but
fortunately none of their dwellings were
moved. The piazza was torn from one
house. Men that owned beautiful farms
when they retired for the night, arose in
the morning finding them picture of
desolation their crops having been
carried away with barns and out build
ings, their meadows and fields left full
of deep gorges, with large streams of
water running through them. A barn
containing six horses and two cows, be-
longing to L. q j. Robinson were also
carried away. The cows we're carried
II miles, both of them hitched to one
manager plank, and when found were
still hitched to the plank, alive and well
escaping with few slight bruises. The
horses we're all found within that dis
lance; two of them were dead, the rest
were in good condition. Fourteen pub
lie and FIVE individual bridges, were
carried off the roads were badly torn to
pieces and in some places the river has
made use of them for its bed. Wagons
sleighs, harnesses and farming utensils,
shared their lot with the rest. We arr

DIDN'T WANT TO BETA Green
wich, n. Y, correspondent thus writes
to the Troy Times;
Hon. f. d. Culver of New York, for
merly of this village, recently United
States Minister to Venezuela, more re-
Gently a disappointed applicant for a
custom house appointment under Grant,
and therefore at present an unselhsh
Chappaquacker, was in town a few days
since. In conversation with several of
his old townsmen on political matters,
he stated that the state of New York
would give Greeley and Brown $4,000
majority, and offered to bet $500 on that
result; whereupon an enthusiastic Grant
man deliberately pulled his wallet, say
ing Judge, | have just that amount |
would like to invest on that statement"
The Judge was veay earnest, and made
some show of producing his stamps un-
| til he found his friend the blacksmith
had two hundred dollars, when he sud
denly remembered that he didn't care
to lose his vote for so small an amount
1t is needless to say that Judge Culver
has been somewhat more careful in max
ing statements that he did not care to
back up, since that event.
