Reclaim the Potomac Flats.


Secretary Lincoln to-day said that he had as yet
held no conference with Gen. Wright, chief OF en-
gtneers, for the purpose OF selecting ofricer to
take charge OF the work OF retaining the Potomac
Hats, and until he held such a conference the mat
ter would not be decid ed upon. II is the impress
sion at the War department, however that Col
VIM r. Cralghill, corps OF engineers, will be de-
tailed for that work. Some prominent officers
were or the opinion that Col Craighill has now
about as much work in charge he can attend
TO- There is every probability though that
ne VIII be selected, he Will
De required 10 supervise the work, while IL is
thought that the practical work the fats will
be done under the direction OF Mr.. S. T. Albert L..
5. civil engineer who has for long time had
charge or the Potomac river improvements In
deed there is no doubt but that Ii Mr.. Albert was
an officer OF the engineer coIYs he would have en-
tire charge OF the work. But as the money for the
Improvement OF the flats is to be expended by the
Secretary OF War, through the chief OF the
engineer corps; it is thought that by dele
eating the supervising OF the work to
any other than officer OF the
engineer corps might interfere somewhat with
future appropriations for the improvement, on the
ground that the intentions OF the law were not
strictly carried out Colonel Craighill is consid-
cred to be one OF the ableSt officers OF the engl-
neer corps, and is fully Informed upon all the de-
tails OF the proposed improvement, as he was a
member OF the board OF engineers In New York
which reviewed all The preliminary reports con-
corning the Improvement and made the recon-
mendatiOnS to Congress which were adopted in
the river and harbor bill.
