scientific investigation by this Chamber
Of various methods proposed, IL is Of
opinion that tho report of II majority Of
tho United States Engineering Board, six
out fsovon, endorsed byA. A. Humphreys
Brig. Con, chief of engineers, should 10
promptly adopted by Congress, DO il
Resolved, That tho Chamber of Com
merco of New Orleans, earnestly reiterate
tboir frequent endorsement Of the Fort 81
Phillips canal project.
Second, That tho confidence heretofore
entertained by this Chamber M to the
prncticability, economy, pcrmanoncy of
tho commercial value OF this cana, IL great
ly increased by tho majority report of
tho above mentioned committee.
Third, That tho peculiar national char
acter of any improvement of tho mouth
Of the Mississippi river makes IT of the
first importance that they
should at all times ard under all
circumstances be, AMI remain undor tho
immediate control and suporintondonco of
the general government, and wo therefore
protest against the letting out of any such
work 10 private individuals or corpora
tions who shall DO allowed ~ exercise
discretion in the promises.
Fourth. That wo recognize tho Board
Of Engineers IA a board Of equals ana that
the voice of six or seven men, especially
who are endorsed by tho chief of En-
gineers, should be- moro potent with Con-
gross than tho dissenting opinion OF orc
member though endorsed by ono or more
distinguished private parties.
Fifth, That the estimate Of umo, cost
and surveys TO date exceed in accuracy
and details, many surveys and estimates
upon which congress in the past made APP
preparations for public works and that
any errors and omissions Of detail can
bo corrected without dotrimont to the work
as n whole.
Sixth, That what il known Us the
lottio systcm Is neither new nor untried;
that past experience offers no inducemont
to hazard the canal by nn undertaking of
such great dcIcacy, tho cost OF which

ADRIFT ON ICE.

A special dispatch to the Detroit FREQ
Press from Bay City. Michigan, under
dato OF tho 2lth ult., gives tho follow
ing account of the adventures OF n large
number OF fishermen, who wore hoatcd
out into tho bay, while tentng upon the
ice, which broke loose from tho shore
Tho extensive field of leo which iloatcd
out into Sagiraw bay yesterday carrying
thereon 800 llshermon and thor village of
shnnties, separated during tho day and
loatod in large sections in different diroc-
tions. Tho large field, bearing not tless
than two hundred men, struck tho cast
shore of tho bay and all escaped. The
report that Smith and Fourier were
drowned proves un,rsc. They AFRO here,
safe and woll.
Another Ellold driftod northcas. and
struck tho main leo somo distance from
tho shore, where it stopped.
Arthur Stevenson, who was on this Sec
tion, says that no and u party of seven
others, after sleeping in tho hut on the
ice at night, started carly this morning for
shore, They were compelled TO unhiteh
the horse from their sleigh and make the
animal jump from cake to cake, another
man drawing the slogh. The journey
was very hazardous, but was performed
SUCCESSFULLY. The party landed at ton
O'Clock this forenoon, after travelling five
or SIX miles. Stevenson says others es-
capped in the Same way, but no is unable TO
give tho number. lilo thinks all tho mon
are now off tho ice, but later report
from tho west shore says few mon and
huts can be seon on tho ice some distanc.
from the shore. The leo is badly broken
up. If there still remain any upon it
there is no way Of rescuing them, and it
is thought there is no hope of thor os-
cape unless the leo should be driven to
tho east shore.

CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.

The president has sent the following
message TO congress in regard TO tho pro-
posed centennial exhibition at Philadel-
phia in 1876:
TO the Senate and House Of Representa-.
tires 1 have the honor herewith t.
submit tho report of tho Centennial Com.
mission, and TO add word in way of rec
ommcndation. There has now been in
tornational expositions hold by throo oi
tho great powers of Europe. 1t seems 1T
ting that tho Tooth nnniversary of our
Independence should be marked by nm
event that will display to tho world tho
growth and progress of n nation devoted
TO freedom, and to the pursuit of fame,
fortune and honor by the lowest citizen
As well as the highest. A failure in this
enterprise would DO deplorablo, Success
can be assured by arousing public opin-
ion to tho importance of tho occasion.
To secure this end, in my judgment, con-
gressional legislation is necessary to make
the exposition both national and interna-
tlonal. The benefits to be derived from n
successful International exposition arc
manifold. I. will necessarily be ac-
companicd by expenses beyond tho re-
celpts from the exposition itself, but they |
VIII be compensated many fold by tho |
commingling of people from all sections
ot our country, by bringing together peo- |
pie OF different nationalities, and by bring |
ing ju1tAposition for ready examination
our own foreign skill and progress in
manufactures; agriculture, art science and |
civiiiation, The selection of tho sito for /
exposition seems to me appropriate, from
the TACT thAsohe hundred years before the
date fixed for tho exposition, tho
Declaration of Independence which
launched us into tho galaxy of ma
tions as an independent people cmsnatcd
from the same spot. We have much in
our variedkclimste, soil, mineral products,
and skill of which advantage can DO taken |
by other 'nationaiities 10 their profit In
return they will bring to our shores works
OF their skill, and iamiliarze our people |
with them, to tho mutual advantage Of all |
parties. Lot ia make complete success
OF our centennial exposition, or suppress
It IN its infancy, acknowledging our ina
biiliy to give it the International charac-
Tor to which our solf-estoem aspires.
