EDUCATIONAL.

Ala meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees of the Peabody Educational
Fund in Washington on the 18th
inst, Chief Justice Thomas C. Man
ming, of Louisiana, was unanimously
elected to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the death of General Richard
Taylor. We are highly gra'i8ed to
note the appointment of Judge Man.
ming at this particular juncture, when
the interests of education in Louisi-
ana require prompt action. Pend
ing Legislative actions with relation
to the Public School system in Lou
isiana, the Peabody donations to the
schools in Louisiana have been with.
drawn. The reason assigned is that
it is doubtful whether such provis-
ion can be made under the new Con.
stitution as to secure school ses-
sion of sufficient duration, in each
year, to justify aid from that fund.
The schools, which have been the
recipients of assistance, hitherto,
are located in the principal towns Of
the State, and are, in most cases,
aided materially by the Corpora
tions. Ia this Town the two schools,
one for each Of the races, have been
very greatly benefited by the annual
fund of 5000 received from that
source. We trust that no action not
dictated by the most enlightened
and liberal sentiment will be allowed
to debar Louisiana from an enjoy
ment of an equal share with her sis
ter States of the inestimable benefits
of free public education.

The Yazoo Valley, four days
out from Shreveport, with big load
of cotton and sundries, passed down
Monday evening. She reached the
Upper Falls on that day, and started
down two barges loaded with cotton,
about thirty minutes apart. The
first one took sheer in descending
and landed straight in the old chan
mel and stuck there fast, till the boat
came down, and after some trouble
pulled Barge No. safely into deep
water. This no sooner accomplished
than Barge No. Q followed nearly the
same direction as the FIRST, and land
ed broad side against the Baily dam,
and there stuck hard aud fast. The
boat had more trouble and consumed
more time in extrieating No. 2, but
finally succeeded.

RENDlNG THE CONTINENT.

The work of uniting the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, by ship canal
through the 1sthmus of Panama, is
now definitely determined upon
The eminen. engineers to whom was
entrusted the work of ascertaining
the practicability of the undertaking
have reported that tits perfectly feas-
ible. The canal will follow nearly
the route of the Panama Railway.
Starting from Limon Bay, a little
Southwest from Aspinwall, it's trend
is Southerly until the Chagres river
is reached, distance of, perhaps,
five miles; thence through the valley
of the Chagres, crossing the river a
number of times, until it arrives at
Matacfin, some twenty-five miles
from the Atlantic terminus. Just
beyond Matachin the first ridges at
the base of the Andes are met wish,
though they offer no very serious
obstacle to the engineer. Within a
short distance of the Pacific the
highest elevation on the line is en-.
countered, but it is not considered
too great to prevent an open cut for
the canal.
The most serious difficulty in the
whole enterprise will be the handling
of the Chagres river, which, by its
sudden rising, sometimes reaching
forty-three feet in twenty four hours,
might inflict tremendous damage to
the canal way. To obviate this dan.
ger it is proposed to construct a
monster dam at Cruces, just above
where the Chagres river first strikes
the canal, to hold back the foods
which would be precipitated upon it.
In consequence there will be formed
vast artificial lake, whose waters
will be allowed to escape gradually
through sluices or gateways.
The great work will be commenced
at once and NJ. de Lesseps has, ere
this, reached New York. While
Commodore Ammen and other Amer.
lean experts q? have been ridiculing
the practicability Of the enterprise
over this line, the less conceited and
more determined Frenchman has
caused his views to be generally rec.
ognized as worthy of confidence, by
the expedition with which he has SET
about verifying his conclusions.
