We find the following iu tho Rome C'otiriur ol tho 20th ; Mr. Dave Ford, the well known and popular mnrchoiit of this city, last Saturday went up to CaVtorsvillo on some business errand. While I hero ho met with Dr. Felton, representa tive of Ibis district iu Congress. Dr. Felton imparted to Mr. Ford some information which will make tho Ro mans heart to beat fast with pleasure and hope. Dr. Felton says that in n very few days ho expects to get the appropriation of ton thousand dollars for cleaning out tho Etowah, and thirty thousand dollars for tho Coosa. He thinks that work will bn com menced on these rivers within thirty days. He has the assurance of Pres ident Huyes in reference lo this mat- tor. Dr. Felton expects to he in Rome iu I lie course of the next month when he will make us a ‘l iver spocch.’ He 1ms high and strong hopes of gel ling for these rivers much larger amounts than tho above. Certainly if there was overall internal improve ment that tho General Government, should aid in pushing forward this in one. The opening of the Coosu river is infinitely more than a mere help lo Romi—it will he of great and, under some circumstances, might bo of in calculable benefit to tile gonorat gov ernment. ThiaJbouefit can bu readi ly seen, when wo state that by thia proposed opening of tho Coosa there will be from tbia point to llio Gulf an iudesli unable means of communica tion, being all tbo way by water. Wo thank Dr. Felton, and llio mouihers from North Alabama, for pushing for ward this great work. Its comple tion will ho a basis that any man tin pioftd lo rest his reputation upon Wo wish it God speed. Political Notes.

By this means the plant becomes stout dwarf bushes,not above eighteen inohes high.

But I thank God that I can truthfully say that it iu not for the killing of John McCormick. My doom is now sealed, Ibcreforo a falsehood wouM neither diminish nor add to my cuse, and iu view of that awful day and hour when I shall soon appear before my God, upon whom is now my only hope. I am not guilty of the killing of John McCormick, yet I cannot alledge any thing cruel or unkind to the court and jury trying my case.
