Capt. Dabney's SOundIngs in

ANNAo ~ l'its
Editor OF the Herald;
DEAR SlR-I have been recently
making elaborate and systematic
soundngs in the lake, aud presuming
that the developments will be OF in.
terC st to the citizens OF Nicksburg, |
will make Il statement Of them:
A line from the island, near the
south end, 10 q point just below the FL
tvstor, gave maximum depth OF %
feet, the guage being at 20 feet 9
inches.
A line from the island TO the Eleva-
tor gave a maximum Of - feet.
A line from the island 10 point be-
tween the Wharfboat aud the coal
landing, gave maximum Of ~ le,t,
with the guage few inches above 70.
Between the Elevator and last
named line, found no deeper wafer
than % feet, and most OF it much less.
That is to say, the bottom OF the lake
between those line', is only a, a few
points below low water mark level,
and IL the river goes down TO extreme
low water this season, nearly the
whole lake bottom within those limits
will show above water. II is needless
10 say navigation to the present land
ing will be broken up this fall, unless
the river maintains an exceptionally
high stage during low water period.
! found plenty Of water about the
'crry landing, and thence toward the
north eud Of the leland.
These facts show more fOrcibly than
ever, the necessity for active measures
in the interests Of Vick.burg's COM
merce. Respectfully,

the anniversary Of the battle Of Ben
ningion, which was fought just one
hundred years ago. Although this lit

of defeats, and II gave them fresh oOur-
age and proved to the Generals that
the militia could be made very useful
and effective. The centennial annIver.

HE la0orers OF the North are ready
and willing 10 work 10 good faith for
good wages, but the trouble has been
that they could not get wages sufficient
for the most important necessities OF
life. None Of the corporations or
capitalists complain that the working
men do not render faithful and efficient
service; It Is not charged that they
do not keep their contracts the claim
Is set up that the condition of affairs In
the North is such, that laborers cannot
be paid living prices, without running
those who pay such prices.
We do not believe this. There may
be trouble from the financial contrac.
lion that has been and is yet the policy
Of the Government, but We do not be.
lievc this is sufficient cause for the
oppression Of the laboring classes to the
extent il Las reached in this country.
The railway and other vast corporations
have been lighting each other and cut
ting down receipts, until they are forced
to lower the price Of labor, This is
bad management, and It is meauncss
to lower the price paid the hard
laborers aud not touch that paid
those who live in ease aud luxury.
We have attempted all along to keep
the HERAI D neutral as TO the claims
of the different candidates in our party,
but the friends Of one of the Senatorial
candidates think that we have not sue.
ceeded. They charge that all the other
candidates received an editorial notice
while we only noticed Col. Furlong''
candidacy in our local columns, and
that this is not placing him on sn equa
footing with the others. We have
certainly not intended 10 mako any
discrimination against the gentleman
and we take this occasion TO say thai
there Ia not one in our party who haI
done more for the party and the people
of this county since he has been in oul
party than Col. Furlong. lie worked
