That is another effort to disregard
the will of that party,
Gen. Grant lias just now seen fit

has just learned that Hancock is ego

thinks. Grant has been much more

Tire projects of a canal for ships
from the Baltic to the North sea,
between the Bay of Ivicl and
Brunshuttie, in the estuary of the
Elbe, appears likely to prove a
success- Its depth throughout is
to be 20 feet and nine inches, its
width at the surface of the water
100 feet, and at the bottom 64 feet,
the banks thus having a gentle
slope. Provision is also to be
made, by means of a peculiar sys
tern of locks and reservoirs, for in
creasing the depth of water to
some 26 feet, whenever it may be
desirablo to do so, this depth al
lowing of the passage through the
canal of the heaviest Gorman iron

Wilhelm, a vessel of nearly 10,00 U
tons displacement, but drawing on

not compare unfavorably with the
Suez, the latter being seventeen
and a half feet wide at the surface ;
of the water, 70 feet at the bot
tom, and about 20 feet deep.

and w idi all her speed went to the Reid
where her parents were and informed
them of what had happened. Hasten
ing home they found that the villain’s
design had been too commit an outrage
too l.oriiblo to name. The reports
which we ch ained differed as to wheth
er or net the hellish intention was ac
complished. The negro It ad fled, and
the whole community turned out in pur
suit. It was not long before he was
caught, and he was b:ought jto jail 'in
Allien-. The girl whom he knocked
down is very seriously injured. So se
vere was tile blow on her head that her
eyeballs were partially forced from their
