VIcK,BuRG, Mss, Sept. 6
Capt. q. B. Srars, United States
Engineer. in charge Of this district,
arrived here to-night, having visited
the works.nt Wilson's Point for the
purpose of investigating what dam
age had been done there during the
last high water, and 10 see what
improvement had been made in the
channel. He states that at the
Slack Island crossing. where the
boats have had great trouble in
crossing the bar, there is now twen>
ty five feet of good boating water
the guage marking twelve feet
Capt. Seers states that in his opin-
ion there is but little more work
necessary in Providence Reach,
that being to make some repairs Oh
the work done. His opinion is that
the xo.k done to the reach has
accomplished all that was desired
or intended, and that low water
Will fully demonstrate the fact,
S.me portions OF the plling which
was put down have been washed
away, but none to cause any serious
results.

DR.. John H Calender, MIR. w. P.
Jones and Judge 4. II. Est, the
committee appointed by the Legs
lature to look out location for the
new Asylum for the Insane for West
Tennessee, left Nashville on Nom
day for the purpose of visiting the
sites which have been recommended
to them. A bout 30 different places
have been recommended and the
committee Will visit them all; which
will take about three weeks. We
understand the committee will be
here on the 21st inst. For pure all
and an abundance Of pure water,
the region around Bolivar cannot be
exec led by any portion OF West
Tennessee. The committee is com
posed of intelligent gentlemen, who
have no interest in tie matter and
the very best cite to be had viii be
selected by them. If the coamittee
thinks Bolivar is the pls n it, we
would like to have 1t. That no
healthier place can be found III
West Tennesse than this we are
sure,

Ed Shaw has been acquitted by a
jury, III the criminal court of Shelby
county, Of the charge OF perjury.
The Bulletin has never been an ar
dent admirer of Ed. Shaw by any
means, and has never advocated his
claim to any position in the gift OF
the present administrations but We
believe that he was foully dealt with
in this matter. He was indicted al
a time when his name WAS being
mentioned in connection with the
position Of surveyor Of the port OF
Memphis, and the finishes of tie
testimony adduced against him, and
a the Attending circumstances; looA
very much like the prosecution was
gotten up out Of malice, and Iey
for the purpose of defeating him for
that position.

We clip the following from the
American of lie 9Th inst:
A gentleman who has recently
been through the Southern States,
said to an American reporter yester,
day, THAI all III ali there never were
such crops on the Southern soil.
The tobaceo crop of North Carolina
and Virginia is very fine, and the
corn crop in every State is superior
to any ever raised, and the rice and

and Louisiana is without precedent.
