CONSIDERING the rapid swallowing oil
the river about the wharves of this town,
we suggest that it would not be amiss to
avail of the dredging machine soon to
be employed at the mouth Of the river,
to dredge out the channel above the
ship yards. The river is so fast filling
up from sand washing doWn the streets
from off the Yharves and from abOVe the
bridge, that is now as shallow from the
bridge to the foot of Washington street
as It is above the bridge. The material
could be readily sold to ill In grounds in
course Of reclamation, and to repair
broken down wharves. 1t is much cheap
er when a mud machine is needed here
to hire one already in the stream, than
to send to the CITY forit.

An Open Letter to the Editors
and Correspondents.

l wish to call your attention to the
fact that advanced journalism demands
that every correspondent shall have his
matter appear over his own signature,
and that the indefinite ''we' shall be
discarded for the more dilinite - MY
reasons are: LIST, that no correspondent
should write matter for which he is not
willing to be held individually respon-
sible: 2nd, that no respectable paper
should have a correspondent who is
notresponsible or who they are ashamed
to acknowledge as such.
1t is well known that fully half the
readers of country newspapers credit
every thing in them not signed to the
editor, who frequently is unjustly
blamed for the utterances of his CORES.

present political condition, every state
ment of facts should be signed. What
