In ante bellum days the United

brightest intellectS Of the country,
and were known for their honesty and
their every act was for the good OF
America. In those days the halls
OF Congress sheltered such lofty minds
as Jefferson, Webster, Benton, Cal
houn, Davis and a long array Of other
patriots who have long since crossed
over to the other shore. How the
mighty have fallen, Since the war
the position Of United States Senator
has been bartcred and sold like 50

sent TO the Senate who could not have

Our people, in or about the year 1871, in
duced Gen. Braxton Bragg tot Confederate
fame), a graduate Of West Point and an emf
neut civil engineer, to visit our coast and adj
wise us what WAS best to do to secure deep wa
ter in the Pascagoula river. DR.. E. F. Griffin,
myselt and several others, the names OF whom
| don't remember, WALKED with Gen. Bragg
from the East to the West river and back on
an inspection tour. At that time there were a
number of large bayous between the East and
West rivers. Gen. Bragg strongly recon-
mended that West Pascagoula river and all
those intermediate bayous be stopped or filed
up, so as to give a greater volume OF water
passing out Of the east mouth and thus sconr
out the same to a greater depth. This was
aud is the same engineering principle used by
Capt. Eads at the mouth Of the Mississippi
river. Mr.. James A. Riynor, president OF the
railI Dad (n0w the n. o. Il NJ. Div. Of the J.. a
y. K. RI, in or about the wear 1881, filled up
all the intermediate bayous above referred to-.
| presume that no well informed man could
now be found who would question but that
Gen. Bragg was right, and it occurs to the
that, in connection with the yerv favorable
recommendation made by MAJ Rossell for the
improvement of our river, we should now close
up and stop the west mouth OF the river.
This, | think, could best be done at or near
the railroad bridge, fer there the West river,
through the medium Of BAYOU ChenriSe, could
continue to relieve the river above the mills OF
too great a current; and as there would be no
river current in the West river below the
mouth Of Bayou Chemise, the Messrs. Gautier
would have the best and safest log pond and
vessel harbor possible, and one in which no
mud or other injurious deposits would ever
enter.

owners and operators? NJ. "A. DEEs.

Gen, Fitzhugh Lee, Consul General
to Havana, has sent his resignation
as such TO Secretary Of State Olney.
This action on the part Of Gen. Lee
was brought about, it is said, by the
ignoble policy Of the administration
at Washington. He claims that Amer
lean citizens are imprisoned without
just cause and subject TO gross indig-
mites, and in some instances died un-
der suspicious circumstances. The
Consul.General has repeatedly asked
that an investigation be made of these
charges, but the administration turn.
