seems to have effected a good work in the

correspondent says:
The Dutch Gap Canal, which on account
of prejudice against its projector seems to
have passed into oblivion, is being practical
ly and succssfully tested by the boats of Gen.
Terry and Col. Brown. The 8. O. Pierce, a
side-wheel steamer drawing five and a half
feet and forty-three feet wide, lias made
three trips up and down the river within the
river within the past two weeks, using the
canal without the slightest difficulty; saving

river was at its ordinary stage; a dredging
machine in a week would make this famous
cut useful to the largest vessels ever coming
up the river.
LFrom the New York Worid.J
Ilow tiie Englbli Amuse Themselves,
Our English cousins arc never weary of
holding up their hands in holy horror at our
American recklessness of human life. Our
steamboat racings t>u the Mississippi make
the elnel burdcu of the lectures we receive on
mis score, and we have neither the disposi
tion nor the right to deny that human life is
too often lightly estimated and lightly risked
in America.
But we do decidedly object lo British ser
mons on this subject. In the face of the pic
ture which every “Derby Day” holds up for
ttie contemplation of mankind, such sermons
from such a source are altogether intolerable.
Nowhere else in the modern world, proba
bly, is there to be found such a “scattering
ol death in sport ” as the road from Loudon
to Epsom witnesses on that great English
carnival; and to say that humau liie is prop
erly prized and respected by the people who
annually make such an exhibition ot them
selves, is a piece of hypocritical impertinence.
The last "Derby Day,” fatuous tor the vic
tory of a French noise over liis British com
petitors on tlieir own ground, is described in
the Loudon journals as having been unusual
ly quiet, anil so free from excitement as to be
almost “seedy." Yet in a single English pa
per, which by no means proiesses to give a
complete list of tbe day’s mishaps, we find a
long chapter of latal accidents recorded.
In another journal we have au account of
the killing of a lady, who was hurled violent
ly out of the carriage in which she was sit
ting by a tour-horse “drag," driven by an of
ficer of the Queen’s army. The same papers
wuicli recite these outrages ou civilization
relate the successful issue of the “French
Derby,” near Pans, and aie compelled to ad
mit that, notwithstanding the immense con
course of vehicles of all sorts by which the
French race* was attended, no accident of
any importance whatever marred the plea
suie and brilliancy of the day.
All over the continent, indeed—in Germa
ny, in liaiy, in France—popular festivals are
nut only vastly more common and vastly
more animated than in England, but they
l ick eutiiely that quality of brutality wliicfi
pisgraoos all the outbursts of popular spirit
in Great Britain, and compel the inquiry
whether, alter ail, aud in spite of the refine
ment aud cultLatinn of so large a portion of
lur upper and middle classes, tne institutions
ot England have not maintained tue bulk of
her people iu a kind of moral barbarism. To
find any just parallel to such a sketch of a
quiet Derby day, as we have here taken from
Laglisli papers, we certainly must go back
to the feudal ages, wheu death was in every
sport, and the story of every year vindicated
Sir YVttlter Scott’s summing up of tfie tour
nament of Ashby:
“ Thus euded tne memorable field of Ash
by de la Zouclie, one of the most gallantly
contested tourneys of that age ; for although
only four knights, including one who was
smothered by the heat of Lis armor, had died
upon the field, yet upward* of thirty - were
desperately wounded, four or live of whom
never recovered. Several more were dis
abled for life; aud those who escaped best
carried the marks of ihe contlict to the "rave
with them. Hence it is always mentioned
in ilie old records as the ‘ Gentle and Joyous
(Passage of Arms of Ashby! ’ ”

THE CASE OF WALTERS.
Hb Sentence (on,muted to Imprkenmenl
for Life—lion Ue Received the Yew*.
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Kelly received
a letter from jGovcrnor Fenton commuting
the sentence of Charles 11. Walters, who was
to be hung to-day, to imprisonment tor life.
The unlortunate man did not seem to expect
that his life Mould he spared, aud when Mr.
Sutton, the warden of the City Prison, ap
proached bis cell, and announced ttie timely
clemency which saved him from a disgrace
ful death, he became for a few moments ab
sorbed in wonder and gratitude, and then
lalteri and out his thanks for the efforts of his
friends At lour o'clock our reporter visited
the prisoner, in company with Air. Sutton
Having come out of his cell, and leaned lei
surely against its irou door, he spoke more
freely about his crime and the fate he had
been awarded.
“ I cannot thank yon or Judge Stewart too
much,” he said, addressing Mr. Sutton;
“hut can you tell me how I obtained such
friends ?”
Mr. Sutton—“ By your good conduct here:
by your penitence, aud your determination
to meet your fate like a nian.”
“ Yes, I was ready to meet my fate. I ex
pected death. You know when my mother
and sisters came to see me, I told them we
should meet no more on earth. But I don’t
know how I made such friends.”
Mr. Sutton—“ There were many who inter
ested themselves in your behalf. One gentle
man from Missouri and another from New
Orleans went to the Governor to obtain mer
cy for you. The Mayor of the city and the
press were ready to aid you, because your
conduct and case excited sympathy.”
“I thank them all,” said Walters, fervent
ly; “but you know the reason why I was
ready to meet death ?”
Mr. Sutton—“ Why?”
Walters—“ Because I felt I had disgraced
my family.”
“That is a good teeling,” said a gentleman
present.
Mr. Sutton—“You cannot imagine the ef
forts which were made to save you from
death. A| young lady was preparing to go
to Albany this evening to plead for you lie
lore the governor; aud I must communicate
the news to her, or she will leave on her
mission.”
Walters—“ Well, I’m to go to prison for
life. ”
Mr Sutton—“ Yes ; you will he soon sent
to the state prison. But rememaer that if
you act there as you have done here, you will
he treated kindly. The warden in Sing Sing
will do all in his power to make your condi
tion as comfortable as the rule up there will
allow, if you act like a man."
Walters—“lm not myself when I give
trouble anywhere. Wbeu I committed the
crime which brought me here I was not the
Walters that you see me now.”
Here one of the officers of the prison hand
ed Mr. Sutton an “extra” containing the
sentence of death on the conspirators at
Washington. Walters looked at the paper
eagerly, and read the headings aloud.
“Now," said Mr. Sutton, “your life has
been spared. Prove yourself worthy, as you
have done, of the mercy extended to you.
“I will,” said Walters, The prisoner then
grasped the hand of the wardon with cordia 1
energy, and returned to his cell.
Having left the man who an hour before
was recorded in prospective, a legal corpse,
we east our eyes around the narro w yards of
the Tombs to search for the scat!old. It had
been removed from the place of dearth. En
tering the store-room we discovered a piece
of mortuary furniture, on which the living
prisoner could have read his epitaph. Rest
ing on a few rough Mocks appeared a heavy
pine coffin, more handsomely mounted than
those in which the bodies of murderers are
generally placed. A pillow of shavings and
linen bad been made in it on which the head
of the dead Walters was to sleep till judment.
Having removed a dusty sable cloth from the
lid, an oval plate was exposed to view, which
contained the epitaph of a living man:
Charles H. Walters.
(Cross.)
Died Juue 23, 18G5. j
Aged 32 years.
v —>
Rarely has a man been nearer death. Eveu
the hearse which was to carry his body to the
grave in a distant cemetery, was in readiness
when the respite, which preceded the com
mutation of his sentence, was received
through the efforts of Judge Stewart.
Interview Between Senator Sumner and
tlie President.
tCorrespomlenee of the Cincinnati Inquirer.]
A fricud at Washington assures us that a
few weeks since au intciview took place be
tween President Johnson aud Senator Sum
ner, which was substantially as follows:
“ Good evening, Mr. President,” said Sen
ator Sumner, last week, upon entering the
President’s room iu the White House.
“Good evening, Mr. Senator,” replied the
President. “ Please be seated for a moment
until I finish a letter to au old friend.”
The letter being fiuislied, the President
turned to Mr. Sumner, when the latter said :
“ Mr. President, I have called upon you
for the purpose of expressing to you the
views of our people on the subject of recon
struction.”
“ Well, sir," replied the President.
Mr. Sumner commenced by sayiug, “Sir,
your North Carolina proclamation does not
meet ttie approbation of the people, and
they will not submit to have the great re
sults of the war thus thrown away.”
“What people are you representing, sir?”
asked Mr. Johnson.
“Tim whole Noithern people” said Mr.
Sumner.
“I apprehend you will And you represent
a small portion of the Northern people,” re
plied Mr. Johnson.
“Then,” said Sumner, “we must take, your
North Carolina proclamation as an indication
of your policy, must we?”
““Yes sir,” replied the President.
“Then, sir,” said Sumner “vou do not in
tend to enfranchise the black man ?”
“I have nothing to do with the subject;
that exclusively belongs to the States. You
certainly would think it a usurpation on
my pin tis I attempted to interfere iu fixing
the qualifications of elector in Massachusetts.”
“But,’’ replied Summer, “Massachusetts
his always been a loyal State.”
“Jhit may lie,’ replied the President, “but
the loyal men of the South have made untold
sacr,flees for their Union sentiments, while
Massachusetts lias made hundreds of millions
out of her loyalty ; and it w ould be a poor
return for Southern adherence to the gov
ernment if the tatter should, in violation of
the Constitution, thruM upon them local laws
iu opposition to their wishes.”
At ttiis reply of the President Mr. Summer
became impatient and irritable, aud rejoiped
by saying, “I am sorry to see you evincing
so little sympathy with that element that
placed you in power.”
At this the color flashed to tin* President’s
face, and he added, emphatically, ou and
I might as well understand each other uow
as any other time. You are aware, sir, I
have no respect lor a secessionist ; I still
have a greater detestation and contempt tor a
fanatic.”
“Good evening," said Summer, and left in
a hull.

Hour to Read with Profit—What to Read.
[From the American Monthly ]
Reading should be avoided when it inter
feres with necessary repose, as it does when
pursued at a late hour of night. It then has
a pernicious influence upon the health first,
then upon the spirits, then upon the mind
itself The knowledge gained in this way i9
for the most part hut of little value, for it is
gained at the expense of mental vigor, and
sometimes even ot life itself. The celebrated
Wm. Pinckney, the great Maryland orator,
tell a sacrifice to late reading. To read when
you ought to be in bed, especially to read
when in bed, is to inflict a great evil ou your
self without an equivalent. It is to injure
your brain, your nervous system, your in
tellect.
SLEEPr READERS.
A person mentally indolent may be fond of
reading. He may love to read in a recum
bent posture uutil he falls asleep, every day
or every night of his life. It might be too
much to say that his room resembles the
famous cave of the God of Sleep. But he
furnishes proof in his experience, that the
leaves of a hook are as sure an opiate as the
leaves of the poppy, the symbol of that god.
Indeed, we have known tho.-e who regularly
take a book to bed with them every night,
as “ a shoe-horn to puli on the sleep with. ”
Indeed, we have seen a whole family, eacli
with a book iu baud, to which he seemed to
be bowing in devotion, except one bright
young girl, who archly sung:
“We are all noddin', nid, aid, noddin.’;
We are all noddin' at our house at home."
CONVERSATION
In order to profit from reading, it is ad
vantageous to converse with those who have
read the same books, or are interested in the
same topics. Two persons of equal capacity
shall read the same book, aud yet receive
from it very different impressions. By ex
changing their views in the commerce of
thought, each is a gainer. The difficulties
which one meets with are solved by the
other, and the truths upon which they agree
are more firmly fixed in the minds of each.
By thus bringing their minds iu Contact with
each other, in conversation upon the work,
their feelings are warmed into more vigorous
exercise, and by the collision of their opin
ions the light of truth is struck out. More
over, by conversing concerning the hooks
tiiat you read with those that are older and
have read more than yourselves, aud have
had better opportunities for observation, you
will be better able to form a correct estimate
of what you read. Their experience will
help to guard you against errors and evil
tendencies of the work, or enable you to ap
preciate its excellencies.
A SPECIAL SYSTEM.
And here I may with advantage quote the
example of u distinguished scholar of our
own country.
1. Before I commenced an author, I made
myself thoroughly master of the whole
scheme of his work, if the table ot contents
enabled me to do so.
2. I then studied the author in the follow
ing manner: After reading tbe first sentence,
I meditated on it, developing the author's
thoughts as well as I was able, and reducing
the whole, as nearly as possihle, to a single
distinct concise expression. I then read the
second sentence, aud did the same. I next
compared the two sentences*’together, medi
tating on them, and gathering out of them
their substance. Thus I went through the
pa, graph, and reflected ou the whole until
I had reduced it to a single sentence, con
taining its essence. I then studied the next
paragraph in like.manner; aud having com
pared the two, I gathered out of them their
substance. The same plan was followed in
the comparison of sections with sections, and
chapters with chapters, bboks with books,
until the author was finished.
3. A third rule was to pass nothing unex
amined, nothing without reflection, whether
iu poetiy or fiction, history or travels, poli
tics, philosophy, or religion. Nor ought I
omit the three rules of Professor Whitaker,
ot Cambridge, given to John Boyse, one of
the eminent translators of the Bible in the
time ot James the First. 1. To study chiefly
standing or walking. 2. Never to study at a
window. 3. Not to go to bed, on any ac
count with cold feet.

Tuc Yellow Fever HosrirAL Ship Jin New
York Harhor —The yellow fever hospital
ship which forms a part of the quarantine ar
rangement* of New York, has been com
pletely refitted aud was to proceed immedi
ately to its anchorage in the lower bay. A
New York paper says:
The ship, formerly the Falcon steamer, now
known as the Nightingale, in honor of the
distinguished Englishwoman whose services
in the cause ot humanity have earned for her
so extended a reputation, is now moored in
the Erie basin, at South Brooklyn. Her ap
pointments for hospital service are of the
most complete character; she has accommo
dations for over one hundred patients, and
the results of the five years’ trial of this sys
tem of a floating hospital are most gratifying.
The ratio of mortality has been reduced to 22
per cent, less than one-half the average under
tbe old system ot shore hospitals. Drs. Bell
and Wallsir, the physicians in charge, gave a
most interesting statement of their experi
ence in the treatment of this mo9t formidable
disease, and stated their entire confidence in
their ability, under the system of treatment
now employed, to prevent the spread of the
disease to the harbor of New Yflik.
A public writer thinks that much might
be gained if speakers would observe the mil

grist is out. . That is another form of the
Scotchman’s advice to a public speaker—

and be sure to sit down as soon as ye hae
done.”
