The Barataria canai-prsjected by
Capt. John Cowden--is attracting the
attention Of business men not only in
Mississippi valley, but In England. Capt.
Cowden recently declared II will be
more useful to the people Of this valley
than mere politicians and their rotten,
meaningless, two-faced platforms" The
commercial results Of the building Of the
Barataria canal will be the reclamation
of the low.ands; the Florida and Tehu-
antepec ship canals; and the trade Of
China, East Indies and South America.
It will save twenty millions annually 10
the earnings of the south, and to the
west one hundred millions. On every
ton Of grain shipped to foreign ports
there will be six dsllars saved over trans-
portion via rail. It will make the
Mississippi valley the manufacturing
center Of the continent. It vii! open the
gates of free trade, and constrain the
mills and shops Of New England TO locate
near the cotton gin houses. Build this
canal, and New Orleans will be made the
first commercial and maritime port Of
America, and Memphis. will be one Of the
great distributing cities OF the valley,
and a manufacturing mart ofthe interior.
When all the vast productions from the
foot of the Ailcehenies ON the east, or
the Rocky mountains on the west, arc
transported down the Mississippi river
to the markets Of the world for less
than half the expense II new costs via
rail, the commercial and political map Of
this continent will be changed.

During the war the south built only four
hundred and fifty miles. The sixteen thou
sand miles in the south now represent prob
ably $60O,00O,000, and the system of rail
roads is in its infancy. The Railway Age
concludes the people Of the south are fully
awake to the importance Of increased faciIi-
ties for transportation. The end of the next
ten years will see vast addition to the pres
ent railway mileage and a corresponding in
crease in wealth and prosperity throughout
the garden region Of the south.

A despatch from the Big Horn cxpe-
diton, on Goose creek, via Fort Fetterman,
says Gen. Merritt, with his forces, has joined
Gen. Crook and they are now ready for ag-
gressive action. This united column has
over twcnty-onc hundred fighting men. Un-
der the new organization, Merritt is the
ranking officer of cavalry, and Col. Cham
bers commander of infantry. The entire
column, with the pack-train, will move at
once toward Tongue river with its three hun
dred pack-mules, one hundred and fifty
thousand rounds of ammunition and TWEEN
ty.fve thousand rations, and forage. This
is the lightest marching condition. Men and
horses are in the finest possible trim. Scout
ing parties have discovered large fresh trails
of Sioux leading toward the lower Tongue
and Powder river. II is believed that the
savages are in need Of victuals, as the picked
carcasses of dogs are found around their
camps. They have fired the prairies to ruin
pasturage and render the cavalry useless.

The assignment of note, the payment

A debtor has the right, at the time OF
making a payment, to direct as to what

II debtor fails to make such appli-
cation, the creditor may apply the money

which he may choose.
Where there is no place Of payment
agreed upon, the debtor must seek the
creditor at his domicil or place of bust
