THEMUsCLE SHOALS CANAL,
The Great National work That Is 10
Make the Tennessee Rtver Eavigablc.

The Muscle Shoals canal, says the Chat
tanooga Times, is on the north branch OF the
river, and its length il fourteen miles. II is
built alongside and close TO the river,
much of the way through solid rock ex-
cayations. No one who has not visited the
canal can have any idea OF its magnitude
Into the river empties numerous crseks,
some Withou; names and others rejoicing in
SUCH names az Fret creek, Second Creek
Blue Water creek, Fourmile Creek, Sixmile
creek and Shoal creek. Most OF these creeks
will be feeders for the canal. Between the
caual and river dams will be built, snd the
slack water thus formed will he utilized, the
| deep wster just above the dam forming a
part of the canal Itself, while the surplus
water will fall over tine dam and pass into
| the river few feet distant.
Upon the south embaukment of the cSnal
narrow-gauge railroad track has been
| placed The whole fourteen miles with numer-
Gus switches, and a locomotive with trains
| Of cars serve 10 carry stone fer the construc-
| ton of locks and other material and sup

canal. Bot The locks themselves, nine IN

The River Cam be Controlled.

The Vicksburg Herald, of Sunday, says:
at has often been said that there are two
things in this world that no one but the
great Architect of the universe could tell
what they would do. The first is the petit
jury, the other Il e Mississippi river. Many
OF the citizens OF Vicksburg will remember
that some two years ago the current of the
river struck the Mississippi shore at point
short distance above where the new Refuge
Ol-Mills are now located, it sving gradually
worked south from the day the cutoff was
made until 1t reached that point. From
Capt. John B. Mattipgly, who is close OBJ
server, AMI no doubt well, if not better,
Informed than any man in regard TO the
river and it's changes in this section; il is
learned that the current now strikes at a
point where the wharfboat was located at
kleInston last season, having moved
up almost mile above where it
made against the shore last sea-
son. This is caused, IS Capt. Matlinsly
states, J the great change in the river near
and below Young's Point. Last season
klng's Point was cutting away rapidly. The
current ia now off Kings Point and down
the Louisiana shore, striking in the bow Of
the bead above Delta, then making against
the bar running down FROM Kings Point
The reVetment work at Delta Point has
thrown the current against the bar below
King'a Point, moving it up some distance
This is positive evidence that the Mississippi
river can be controlled to a certain extent
The improvement OF the Delta Point by tn,
government, under the direction OF tn,
United States engiseers, has been of 80 sub
staniial character that it has held the poin
from recediug and causing the main channe
of the river to return almost one mile ne are
the city than last season. The river ha
made the chsuges that the United State
engineer claimed it would TWO years ago"

YICKSBURG HARBOR.
The work That is Reipg Done by United
States Engineers TO Save IL.
Evidence That susta al ms Their PIans an d
warrants q Belief in Their Success.

The work of improving the harber by the
dredgeboat Thomas ID. Herndon, says the
Vicksburg Herald, is progressing rapidly aud
most taverably with every indica alton OF
ultimate success. The boat is worked day
and night and is removing the mud rapidly.
For the thirty days ending May 3lst, SO, 0G0
cubic yards we're taken out. The total amount
removed up to date is $4,000 cubic yards,
which cost In actual figures Sic, $50, whica
leaves an une expended balance of about $83,.
900, which amount ia ample TO complete the
dredging OF the basin which extends south to
point short distance below the elevator,
also complete the canal from deep water
above Glass bayou From soundings re-
Gently made at the entrance of the upper end
of the lake it Is found that the foot of the
bar running down from Kings Point has
made or filed eight feet. When the river
was at the lowest stage last season there was
| sea- four feet of water in the neck or upper
! entrance to the lake, 50 that when a cor
| responding stage OF the river is reached
| this season the entrance will be closed
| with bar four feet out OF water. Capt.
| Marshall states that channel of sufficient
width aud depth TO admit of the passage OF
| all classes OF steamers will be dredgsd out,
| thare being sufficient funds for that purpose.
| The dredgeboat is now making the last cut
on the shore or east side OF the basin, and ia
now close into the elevator. Another cut
will be M sde to deepen the basin of an aver
age of five feet. This will complete 1t.
Capt. Marehall is of The opinion that the
| appropriation will be sufficient 10 do consid
cradle work in the canal running south from
the lower end of the basin, after the work
stated above is completed. There does not
seem now to be reasonable doubt Of the
plan proving success, and OF Vicksburg
again having boats 10 front of the ty ali
the year round. Capt. Carroll and his com
mittee certainly are deserving the thanks o
the CITIZENS at large for The energy and con
tinued interest they have manifested in this
the most vital undertaking for Vicksburg'

FROM a circular received yesterday we
learn that the third session OF the State
Normal Institute will be held at the Uni
Versity of Tennessee, in Knoxville, beginning
ON Monday, the % OF July, and closing

course of instruction will be distributed in
three grades, 80 as TO meet the wants Of ele.
Mentary teachers as well a. of those more
advanced. 10 each course there will be four
regular daily lessons. Optional studies will
be open to all, yet 80 not TO interfere with
the regular courses. No charges are made
for tuition, or for anything else connected
with the institute. Instruction will be
largely oral. Pupils are requested 10 take with
them such textbooks az they have, in studies
which they wish to pursue. The valuable
collections in the University Cabinet and
Museum will be used for illustrating sciences
taught. Certificates corresponding to the
respective grades will be conferred on exam
ination at the close of the course, which
will exempt the holder from further ex
4;ninatIon in this State for one and two
years. Students who complete satisfactorily
the third year course Of stuiy will receive l

stone has been transported distance ef many
miles, from qusrries, some OF which are stu
ated on the opposite side Of the river. The
length Of each lock chamber is 300 feet, so
that when completed a steamboat nearly 300
feet in length can be brought through them.
These locks are monuments OF engineering
skill, that have DO equals in the new world,
except the locks in the Wellaud canal. At
Shosl creek the dam process has 70! beer
employed. The waters of the creek have a
heavy fall, 10 freshets creating a terrific cur
rent, and the bed of the creek is very broad.
Acro-s The bed Of the creek have been built
twenty-six piers thirty three feet apart, with
a clear span of thirty feet, and upon these
piers are to be placed an squedsct, the floor
and sides to be of thick planks or boiler iron,
resting on immense iron !girders or rills. To
build these piers Golfer dams had hrst to be
sunk 10 the bed Of the creek, and the aque-
duct will be curved.
Greatly to our surprise we were told that
there was far less quantity of stone in the
whole OF these tuepty-six piers than in one
lock snd the cost oil constructing these piers
Was only about $4,000, while the locks cost
upon an average about 100000 each.
Tue fall in the river from the head OF the
canal to the foot is eighty-four feet.
