us oror,ess that Captain JAMES B. EAps
- Dc n deepening the South psss OF the
sy;ss,sslepi river has excited very great 'u-
,arest. A meeting Of the Board OF Engineers,
called sy Captain EaDs, with the approval OF
the president, was to take place yesterday IN
New York. They held an informed meeting
on Tuesday at Captain EAps's recon. Inc
officers comprising the Board are Genera

Richmond. Va; Colonel ". MHSER no.
psers, president of the Philadelphia "S'et-
supply; and General T. E. sscKLbs' consa',-
inc engineer Of the Union Pacific sa'sre@a.
General ALrxASpEa NswroS, superintendent
of the Government works on the racine
slope: Professor MITCHELL, OF the onieea
States coast survey, and General WRiaas' Oh
the limited States army, were expected to ee
present.
Captain EAEs's plan has been thoroughly
approvsd by these distinguished gentlen en-,
especially by Sir CHARLES HARTLEY, as we
learn from the New York Tribune, whose
success on the Danube, says the same au'
thority, has given his opinions with regard
to the works on the Mississippi extraordi'
nary weight.
During the conference Of these able engi'
neers Captain EAps's plan has been discussed
in all its details, and telegraphic eonmunl'
cation has been KEEP. up daily with the WORKS
at the South pass. A dispatch dated Au
gust 9th stated that the willow mattresses
had been laid 4,S0O feet from the land's enc
ON the line of the east jetty; and that 'ne
work was progressing finely. The whole
length of the jetty will be 1900 feet. A
latter stated that the channel continued 10
cut out rapidly, and that three schoonerS
laden with lumber came over the bar the
day before the letter was written, reporting
a considerable amount Of water at 10" tlde'
The depth is continually increasing.
Captaip EAps proceeds cautiously, and con-
tinualIy takes advantage of the engineering
talent With which he is surrounded IN Ne"
York before issuing new instructions. III
gets nothing in the way Of compensation
until he achieves depth of twenty i've lee
inthe channel over the bar. The expccta
ton of the Government is that it is to ge
permanent works that will maintain tn
channel after it is obtained.
This enterprise of Captain EAns's IS one o
very great importance, vtal!y affecting TIT
welfare of that vastly wealthy and extensive
region the Mississippi valley. The progress
already made upon the plan of the Jettle:
iustifes the anticipation that there VIII Ut

and have serious bearing upon the com

That such state of things could not con.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.--The Tribune's Bos-
ton special says: A year ago last Febru-
ary the bark Jewess, of Boston, sailed
from New South Wales in the direction
of the Auckland Islands, group which
lies in the South Pacific Ocean, near New
Zealand. Four days later the bark
Maria H. Long and one English bark,
name unknown, followed on the same
course. No tidipgs Of the Boston vessel
were received in this city till yesterday
when Capt. Bremen of Biddeford, Maine,
, of the bark Marathon, returning from {
voyage around the world, brought back {
> terrible story regarding them. At one o
the ports at which he stopped he hat
? fallen in with sailor, or some one who
, knew him. who purported to be the sol'
: survivor of the three crews. Their yes
3 sells, be said, had become becalmed il
the vicinity OF the Auckland Islands anC
laid there together several days. The.
were boarded by cannibals who came i
= large numbers, oyerpowered the crews
y plunderod their ships and scuttled then
e The men were carried prisoners to tn
shore and furnished food for the horrib
feast of their captors. No particulars
the fight or of the survivor escape wei
v obtained. but the facts are pretty we
authenticated and the long absence
q the vessels furnishes good ground for b
la lieviDg that the story may be true,
