GALVESTON, Dec. 12.-In relation to Galveston
harbor Improvements, Gen. Bragg says: 1.-The
plan OF operations is novel and bold and for that
reason the L. 3. Engineer Department and the
Secretary of War only asked and Congress- gave
small appropriation to make an experiment as
test. That test has now been made and is
eminently successful.
The delays incident to the commencement of a
new work on new principle, with raw, unin-
structed men, having been overcome in very
short time, the process of placing the gabions and
extending the present jetty toward the main
channel commenced a few days since.
:, The work has tIa progressed far enough to show
the practicability Of this novel and cheap method
for building training walls on unstable founda-
tons, what is more important that the effects
produced are even greater and more favorable
and more rapid than the founder Of the work
or his assist anticipated.
The Western ''Swash Channel which con-
veyed large quantity of water to and from the
bay has been reached, and the current diverted
toward the main channel, and the head of Gal
weston Island is rapidly extending east across its
bed.
Where there was II feet of water a few DAYS
since, the men now wade around in the execution
Of their work and the accumulations of drift
about that work are so rapid in progress as to
give strong assurances that 1t will be permanent.
The test thus far is SO entirely satisfactory
that Lieut.. Quinn has reported it to his chief,
and urged further appropriation at an early
Jay 10 enable him to work more rapidly and more
surely. He is also justified in the conclusion
that the work can be done at about half the orig
nal estimated COST
