The Canal.

The Window Committee has finished it's
Investigation and departed for Washing
ton. Rumors prevail that its conclusions
are favorable to the projected canal at
Fort st. Philip, and that consequently the
prospects Of that enterprise are favorable.
General Besuregsrd testified that cheap
ness of transportation was in favor Of large
ships and that several very considerable
advantages would result from the work as
a means of coast defence.
We think that the greatly increased size
of the ships which would visit our port
would not by any means be the only cause
of cheap transportation as resulting from the
canal. Even if the canal should afford but
seventeen feet of water or, say, ono foot
less that is frequently found on the bar, it
would greatly reduce the rate of tonnage
from this port. The great cause of high
prices is the uncertainty Of getting over the
water as another which has just crossed
is not at all sure of having the same luck.
She may strike on a new mud lump, or
get little out Of the channel or be inten-
tionally grounded for the purpose of Civ
ing some tug boat good job. After losing
months time and spending q couple of
thousand dollars extra, abe gets of with the
captain in o bad humor, and carrying away
q very poor reputation for the port. This
element Of uncertainty makes shipping IN
willing to como here and adds heavy per-
centage to the rates that would otherwise
be considered ample.
Bat q canal With q fixed and unchapg-
able depth of water would remove the
whole element of uncertainty, and prevent
tue charges that are made on account of
it. Besides that, towage charges would be
reduced about half or probably more.
Thus freights to and from this port would
be greatly diminished by such canal
even though affording somewhat less water
than is occasionally found on the bar.
When to this We add the consideration that
ships drawing twenty four or five feet
could be employed in our commerce, it 10
evident that rates would be materially
lessened.
This would be of great advantage to our
port and would therefore raise violent
opposition to the scheme ON the part OF
rival ports, but it would also be of great
benefit to the whole Mississippi valley and
can therefore count on active support
from the Western States. When we Gee
the project endorsed by Congress and the
bill actually signed by General Grant we
shall begin to think the war at an end.

A poetical writer has said that some men
move through life as a baud of music moves
down the street-finging out pleasure on
every side through the air, to every one
that can listen. Some men fill the air with
their strength and sweetness, as the
orchards in October days fill the air with
the ripe fruit. Some women cling to their
houses like the honey -suckie over the
door; yet, like it, fill all the region with
the subtle fragrance of their goodness.

hesitation in recommending them to their

They are acknowledged to be the best tonic
