It is pleasant to pec some of the fruits of the large expenditure in the west for internal im provements. Tho Indiana Lafayette free Press, of the l'Jtll lt. Htulcs that tho daily arrival and departure of boats give a etirring appearance to tho town. We take the following from the l.o gunsport Teleirtapli, of the 1'ith ultimo: "The business upon the Wabash and Brio (.'anal is be ginning to assume a character of considerable im portance. About I,J.jO,OiM pounds of fri Uit passed (ho collectors olliee a'. Iavjansport from the tJth to tho l'Jih of last month. .S'. Lniin lluzitte. As Illinoians wo feel deeply mortified nt the proceedings of those under wliose care the man agement of tho Illinois and Michigan Canal hail been placed for the last few years, uud every day proves that the course heretofore pursued has been a suicidal one, worthy only of narrow-minded and selfish public functionaries. The Wabash and Brie Canal, which commen ces at Manhattan, Ohio, and terminate at Torre Haute, Indiana thus uniting tin: lakes with the Southern and Western waters and (lie most im portant rival of the Illinois ami Michigan Canal, is now nearly completed and Indiana's portion of the work is now in successful operation horn tho navigable waters of the Wabash to Fort Wayne, near the rttute line! Indiana deserves credit for the judicious course she bus pursued in regard to that great work, and presents a pat tern to this State, which if followed may yet lead to a beneficial result in regard to the Canal. Indiana completed that portion of the canal which could first bo made useful, and two years hiiicc boats have made regular trips on the south em division of that work, and thereby showed its importance to the public, and induced the Natio nal Government to uid them iu its speedy com pletion by an additional grant of laud. The work in now in a prosperous condition her faith to the General Government unimpaired, and a few more months will finish tho whole line and place that section of country iu a portion unrivalled in tho West! Why is this so! Why is it that tho Wabash and Brio Canal isneailycom pleted, and tho Illinois and Michigan Canal is finished now hero uud suspended nt that? I'id the former work receive uid from the. General Government, at the time it was commenced, which the latter did not ? No ! Hut Indiana and Ohio, ever watchful of their own best interests, first finished the available portion of the work put the Water iu leased their hydraulic power prayed Congress for additional aid and it iva granted. Illinois, much wiser than her neighbors, commen ces her Canal everywhere uud finishes it in the prairie forfeits her confidence to thn General Government folds her arms and cries "hard times!" "Stale Debt !" "Uonds below par !" uud foolishly suspends tho work at a timo when the most important part of it can lie finished ns easily ml as cheap as ever, vainly anticipating better facilities for its completion, whilst the ravages of decay uud forfeited confidence make promise of irretrievable destruction. If the State duly considers its interest, and those Xvho have charge of the same act iu conformity to tho dictates of sound policy, tho Illinois and Michigan Canal can this season be placed beyond the reach of "log-rolliug" legislation and tho ever varying financial condition of tho State. Let lb Close of the present summer witness the comple tion of the western portion of the canal let the hydraulic power be leased to active and enterpri sing men,' 3 that tho State may receive the Consequent advantages theielroiu,aud the country realize iU just deserts let this be done, and the representative in Congress from this district, at (he next session, can urge the claims of this work to llie consideration ol that body, with the pros pect of success before him. Tho unliniidicd work on the canal between this plaeo and l'eru, was lately put under con tract. Is that work now riigrcsiiig ? Let those having the. work in chnrge, seo that every con tractor does his duty if ho does not, let no picayune policy bo pursued in regard to iho re- luttiilgiif tho work let men have it who can uud will finish it, and thus Rave, it from future em barrassment and tho iiarrow-iuiudcd policy of a few selfish demagogues. The ('mini. The Sangamo Journal now concedes an im portaut point iu regard to the canal contractors it says: "Wo uro perfectly willing that they tho idd contractors should go on ; and while they perform their contracts, Ihnj hurt it right to daiurnd uf the Slain the fulfilment of ten .'" We uro much gratified to find the Journal so humane and wilhall so exceedingly kind uud frank. VocH it mean that the contractors should prose cute tho .Stale fur tho violation of lierpart of ihe contract, in not furnishing them with means to coiuplcle their work 1 This the eonli actors have a right to do, and may peihaps be induced to do SO sinco they have so iihlo a counsellor in the person of tho editor of tho Journal, This course may bo icgardcd an ecoiuim; by tho Journal, mid a., he lilg highly tiodituble to the Male and will talm lated to promote its future prospeiity. Sound j reasoning friend Journal! Now suppose the contractors do abandon the work, remove from t!ie i State, and then pro-rente her for damages, will it be likely to rc-ult iu advantage to ihe Mate: or would it place the canal on a more permanent basis than by eo.-npi oeiisin with the contractors and retaining their forces on the woik, so that it may Ik- brought to a speedy completion the credit of the State sustained, and our plighted laitu 10 inei.cner.it lioverninent remain unt.ir-1 nisiuu l lie question as to the p unt ot u-:e-diniry, uny unprejudiced mind can ea alv decide. M hen we say "compromise with the. contrac tors," c do not mean that they should receive double price for their woik as a consideration for that "compromise," but that they should receive the same prices for their labor as they did when the State was aide to pay her debts. It' the State has now suspended payment to the contra etors, and thereby empoverished her creditors and her citizens, is it just that she shoal 1 speculate ami profit on the sweat of those whom she has thus oppressed and reduced to the vere ef ruin We think not! Soulless bankim: institutions do this, but us yet no State has breti mean enough to resort to this species of robbery and w holesale plunder, and wc hope that young Illinois will not be the first to imitate the banks. The contractors ask nothing more for their la bor on new contracts than they do for labor on the old ones. Thev have invested large sums of money iu fixtures for theeoiupl. lion of their con-1 tracts, and are willing to make any sacrifice to j sustain then character as contractors, and for the I employment of their tools, e. ; and if the inter est of the State requires lli.it the west end of tin canal be first completed and put in ejentioii. they will do it, and ask nothin ; more than the State will be obliged to pay if she discontinues the work until our bonds briu par iu Burnpe, or even sell at a premium there. The infernal crew that is waging war nuaiinil the canal, know tin to be the case, but the secret el the matter is, they want one more "shake" at the delegation f,om the canal counties iu the le i.dature before any portion of the work i in operation, hoping thus hv the ' be; robin'" system to bring into notice' some insignificant cow-path running through !

This is the high wages administration. Workingineii, reflect on these tacts. ll nt'in J ml. Nothing can show more clearly the hostility of the Webster dynasty to the laboring classes than the above. The amount paid by government to tho workingmcn is small in comparison to that paid to the ollieers and agents of the government, and yet the latter receive large salaries with little labor, while the former, by hard labor, can obtain but a bare subsistence. The reduction of their wages, then, will only still more oppress those who ure already sulfieieutly oppressed, while it will make but .1 trilling reduction iu the expenses of the nation. If the administration are really de sirous to economise, we think tho reduction should begin in the other iiuaitcr. Tlipre are many offices which might easily be abolished, and other of which tho salaries might be reduced, I without any prejudice whatever to the public ser vice, and with tho only ell'ect of reducing the ipiantity of w ine and cigars l our ol'.ici.d dandies. IJut if tho reduction of the prices of nil thn ne cessaries of life were reully so great as to justify a reduction of laborors' wages, that would allord no excuse for abolishing the ten hour system. The authority of better judges in such matters than Paniel Webster or 'huiiciit'' John Davis can he cited to prove that laborors will, on the long run, do as much work iu ten hours a day as they will in twelve, und will do il much belter. It is even believed by many that if the bonis ol labor per day were reduced to eight, the amount of work done would not be less. What than do our rulers expect to gain by abolishing the ten hour system ! It will certainly not tend to reduce the price of labor. It is a false species of economy, founded cither on ignorance, or a deep malignity of feeling towards tho most valuable portion of the community. If the workingineii are aware of the real value of the ten hour system, they will not relinquish it, even nt the mandate of ''(he powers that be" at Washington. It took many years of hard work to introduce it, and it would now just when (his great reform is fairly accomplished be apiece of unpardonable perfidy against themselves to give it up. If they net like men, public opinion will be awakened on tho subject, and they will have nil easy triumph; but if they now submit, they, and their desceudents, may have l'ieiUent occasion to deplore the abolition of the ten hour system.

She has literally been rescued from the jaws of tin: great deep. She came in collision with another ship oil' thn banks of Newfoundland, on the Hih inst. (May) at 1 o clock in the morning. The night was not daik, hut the sea was running high, and they did not discover each olio until the fearful collision. The Susque hanna bowsprit is taken off clean, and tho cut-water torn and wrenched from the ship iu a way which shows the encounter must have been tremendous. She was running at the rate of nine knots, and shipping seas constantly at lite time. The impression on hoard the Susquehan na is, that tho blow was so hard ami so near the centre id' tho other ship, lhat she must have been totally disabled, if not stove in, causing her to sink imme diately. After the collision, she slewed round and grated past the Susquehanna with such rapidity, that no opportunity was given to diyvovcr who she was or the ex tent of her injuries. The impression on board is, that she was an I'.ast Indiaman, or some ship of the largest class, and as the cut-water of the Susquehanna is taken oil' low down, she was upon the top of a sua at the moment of the collision. Con sequently the other ship must havo suf fered the more severely. No cries were hoard ; and in tho confusion ot the crash, ami anxiety for self preservation, no dis tinct knowledge of the character of the other ship could be learned.
