IU ptirchn'e became therefore al.o
lutcly iieeesnryj but asido from this,
fie Hlutc Engiuecr and the U. S. Kn
gincer havo both expressed iho oi in
inn that it was a good beLMniiincr to
wards any future work contemplated
in this direction, and that the State
and any Federal, appropriations,
could be profilublv employed in wi
dening und deepening it ; and as the
price demanded was enly about the
money expentied in dredging, in clean
ing it out laat spring, its purchane
would accomplish more than the same
amount of money could accomplish in
any other way. The commissioners
therefore acted wisely in at once open
ing negotiations for i:s purchase, and
doubtless w e w ill soon be able to an
nounce a reversion ol the title to the
State.
When we reflect that lighters pay
tonnage dues of 15 cents per ton, and
traders 30 cents; lor passing through
it, we can coinputate the great benefit
th-t will aiise to our trade from hav
ing it thrown opeu even in its present
condition, but tho immense berelit
cannot so easily be computed, which
will ri?e from having it widcncOTaud
deepened, to as to admit vessels ol
very much larger capacity; and for
this purpose w'M vU, iJinwapproprl
tion be expended, and such UongrcS'
sioual approptiation as hereafter may
be granted.
A little "cyphering" may not be,
here, out of place.
The general tonnage ot our lighters
ia 35 tons with a carrying capacity of
35,000 feet.
The vessels that come lor our Ium
ber (outsiders) carry from 150,000 to
450,000 feet, the average vessel car
ries 200,000 feet.
The lighter has to make G trips to
load this vessel at (5 25 tonnage
dues each trip, or $31 60 which
would be saved to' tho lumber by
throwing open the present canal.
The regular, Texas trader of 100
tons has to pay $30 00 as she passes
through the canal. But she is not
able to go out with a full load (100,
000 ft.) and takes on only 60,000 feet
at the mills. She has to wait for a
lighter to come out and complete her
cargo, or $35 25 tonnage dues for
her.
Again, the U. S. Engineer esti
mates that the appropriation he re
commends will give, with the State
appropriation, 7 feet at lowest, or 10
to 11 feet at . ordinary, tide. The
cost of ligntcring (aside trom the
canal dues) ia $2 per. thousand feet,
or to load tue 200 000 feet vessel
costs $400. With the canal improved
as above, this vessel could come up to
the mills and this be saved, making a
total of $431 50.
The Charter Party generally re
quires her cargo to be delivered at
the rate of 15000 feet per day, Bun
days excepted, or pay a demurrage of
$40 to $50 per day. This last bur
den sometimes unavoidably falls upon
the mill. But if sho loaded within
her lay days, two weeks is consumed
in loading her. It she could come to
the mills she could take on her cargo
and leave in a week at larthest.
Aside from the ' above considera
tions, is one of more weighty impjrt
than all else put together. The vessel
coming from the North, Cuba, Mexico
or South America for her load of lum
ber, comes not as now with her sand
or rock ballast to dump into the bay,
but freighted with precious merchan
dize and esierW oar river on her

mainly a dowurigM delu-iioii, no snnc
ffrrioi can doubt for a moment. It r
true that a portion of th- negroes
were forced by tho direst necr.i'ity to
quit Alabama, yet thousand that had
good homes have hurried olT in hot-
'cst hafte to the "Promised Land" of
negrodom. The philosopher -tho de
lights to trace effects to their causes
and to pry narrowly into tho motives
that impel large bodies of men, will
ask what has occasioned this sudden
and wholesale exodiM of tho negroes.
Il is unprecedented in tho annals o
modern history. The Irish irr migra
tion into this country was the effort
of a starving and dc.iso population,
sorely vexed by governmental tyran
ny and espionage, and irritated and
maddened by the impossibility of nc
quiring in fee the least patch of land,
to find work at remunerative prices,
and to acquire homesteads, where
they could 'sit dow n und their own
vino and fig tree, with none to vex
and make them afraid." The negroes
arc not flying from tyrranny and op
pression as tho Irish did, as they en
joy their rights in Alabama as fully
as they are likely to do in .Visissippi,
and aro largely in preponderance over
the whites in the counties from which
.they have chicflyr'- "They have
negro&'in the Legislature from Per
ry, Marengo and Dallas.
Rumor says some negro (Teachers
are at the bottom of this wholesale
exodus, and that they give out that
it is the will of God that the negroes
t.hould remove to Mississippi, and 'hat
the failures in the crop of 1871, '72
were intended to compel obedience to
the Divine behests, and that these
crop failures would continue so long
as they refused to obey tho Divine be
hest. This may be so.
My own explanation of the mattei
is this: that the negroes are doubly
as gregarious as the whites they
hate retired cnt and solitude end lore
company and crowds above all
things; they arc crcdulou?, and gulp
down all the l ig tales they are told
of the magical fruitfulness of .Missis
sippi, and they are proverbially easily
inflamed and excited. Their attach
ment to particular localities is so
weak us to be hardly discernible, and
moreover, they are as fond of change
and travel as children ore known to
be. These seem to m to be the mo
tives for the present exodus, and these
same motives will impel them to at
tempt to return here after the splen
did air castles they are building in
Mississippi shall have tumbled down.

8 o'clock,, summoned what citizens

met them and said, "I am Sheriff, and
have the keys. I warn yon not to
the Courthouse." Hiliiard said to
bis posse, "I am Sheriff; follow rnd."
He then went rapidly on to the
Courthouse, followed by his poase

Cushing's Name Withdrawn,

W.wwvaUTON. January 14th.
i'esterday oftcinoon, beforo tho Ilc
iiililican Senators resumed their cau
cus session, Senator iargent called
upon tho Pu'siiJent and mentioned to
him the fact hat he had received an
anonymous note, in .which it was
stated that on 21st of March, 1861,
Caleb Cus'iing wrote a letter to Jef-fer.-on
I)vis strongly recommending
Archibald Roane, a clerk in the At-toiney-Gonc.ars
office, to Jefforson
Davis's, faorablo ' consideration;
Roane hiving strong Southern sym
pathies, and being an able scholar,
was a contributor to "DeDow's Re
view.'' Atu while briefly ulltidiug
to th subjet3 which then divided
the Nordi add South, Cushing spoke
ol'thcin as Bio cause of final sepera
tioti of thejUnion, regarding this ns
an aceonilished fact. The Piesi-
deit a shrt time thereafter applied
to the Sell etary of War lor the orig
inal of his letter, which was pro
duced, itbeing found among tho capt
urcd Confederate archives. The
PrcsiJeut on reading the letter at
onceconcluded to withdraw the nom
inate and caused a communication
to lo written to iho Senate for this

this letter to Jefferson Davis had

standing bis high upprceiaticn ol Mr.

that his opinions, as expressed in the

curred between Col Horn of the
M rcury, and Mr. Jacobsou, on ac
count of the personally offensive card
of the latter, by the timely iutcrfer
