The Dutch.Gap Canal.

Messrs. Editors: In this mornings Dis.
patch you say it was always mystery to
the Confederates why the Federal troops
never finished the Dutch.G Gap canal. Having
been in immediate command OF the Confed-
crate forces who were watching the enemy's
operations at that poiht, think can clear
up the mystery in more satisfactory man.
ner than General B. F. Butler has done.
While the canal was being dug our engineers
were busily engaged in preparing for the
event of its completion, and although the
work was pushed forward with unrelaxing
energy by the Federals, for weeks before 1t
was ready to be opened we had four heavy
batteries completed which commanded
its mouth-namely, Batteries Brooke,
Semmes, Wood, and another whose name
escapes my memory. Then the IRON
clads Virginia, Fredericksburg, and Rich
mond were finished and ready for action.
and the river bank bristled with torpedoes,
which could be placed In the channel at
moments notice. 1t is not probable thai
"the commanding officer OF the naval forces
of The United States stationed IN James
river" was ignorant Of the reception which
awaited him should he have ventured tc
come through the Gap, and doubtless, re
garding discretion TO be the better part o.
valor, be advised against the perilous under
taking.
1t is fair to presume that the dog had re-
solved, with characteristic ssgacitY, not to
venture bis head in the wolt's den long be-
fore he suggested the propriety of keeping
the door to his kennel closed for fear the
wolf might take notion to 60 prowllng after
him. j. NJ, Jr.

MAGGIE MIrcBELL.-There was very poo
audience at the theatre last night to witness
the enjoyable play. In five acts, entitled
Lorle; or, the Artists Dream, in which Mag
gle takes the leading character. There IL
not much real merit in the drama itself, bu
the stage was admirably set, and the ta
bleaux, which were rendered much
more acceptable by reason of being
shown with a calcium light, rendered
the entertainment quite acceptable. Maggie,
too, appeared to much greater advantage a.
Lorle than In Fanchon, and the play passed
off much more smoothly. She Is very fiae
actress, and improves upon acquaintance
wonderfully. The company, too, is com
posed OF good material, and they are all vel
up in their parts.
Miss Maggie certainly deserves much bet.
ter houses than she has bad thus far. She
played her part with striking case and greai
aimplicity Us q peasant girl, and pleased
every body present by her grace and expires

scenes throughout, and the way the audience

of the enthusiastic plaudits Of the numerous
children present. In the language of Arte.

Fox has descended on to j. 5. MaGitt." 1t Is
