Conn has advanced in Chattanooga. It
was quoted at 8fi®87 cents on the wharf,
and 90 oenta in depot, on Thursday.
The Timet says that these figures are 10

A dispatch from Washington reports
that the President and his Cabinet
“laughed" over Arkansas affairs, at their

A strange political coalition, and one
that shows, the strength of new party or
ganisations, is reported from Oregon. It
is said that tbo Democrats and Republi
cans in that State are nnitiog to defeat
the “Independents." We are not in
formed as to the distinctive principles or
objects of the Independents.
Ths “aaqutsmoN” which the dispatch
es say the Supremo Court of Arkansas has
sustained in behalf of Brooks, was made
upon the State Treasurer for a part of the
contingent fund placed at the call of the
Governor. The decision, therefore, goes
to the extent of recognising Brooks' au
thority to mnko the requisition.

signed, peid $87 express ohargoa “0. O,

rriminal law, aa a counterfeiting die.
The Montgomery Stale Journal boosts
that its party (Republican) have “success-
fully captured six of the largest cities'' of
the State within the leet few raonthfi, and
*<Mb, t4 we shall have an easy task to bury
Democracy out of night next November.”
We call the attention of the Democrata to
the feet that if they go under at nil in tho
November fight, they will sink beyond the
reech of the hand of resurrection. The
grave, we auppose, is dug, aud they must
either be buried in It or bury their oppo

Th» New Orleans Times thinks that the
loas to the people of Loniaiana by tho
flood will exceed ten millions of dollars,
and says that the area now under water in
variously estimated at from 2,500,000 to
11,000,000 of acres. Good judges estimate
that in the three States of Louisiana,
Arkansas and Mississippi the loss to tho
cotton oropby the overflow will be L’fiO,-
000 bales, and the iosa ou sugar in Louis
iana 510,000 to 40,000 hogsheads. These
losaea must involve a vast amount of dis-
tress and embarrassment.
Advices from Lima to the 1 ith nit.
confirm previous reports of the discovery
of new end immense deposits of guano in
Peru. The examination made by the
ofiioera of hor llritannio Majesty's ship
Petrel sustains the report# of the Peru
vian engineers, both as to the quality and
quantity of the guauo. It is calculated
that there are at least 7,080,500 cubic me
tre* of guano in the different localities in
wbioh it Las been traced. Assured of
this, Peru considers she has a very large
reserve fund to draw against after her
debts are paid.
A proposition to change the patent
system, so as to abolish the monopoly
given to the patentee, and to allow any
person to manufacture tho invention by
paying s royalty of ten per cent. to the
inventor, is before Congress, aud is said
to be received with favor. It would do
good in correcting the abuses of the pres
ent patent aysteiu, one of which is sufil-
ciently indicated by the reported fact that
some of our American sewing machines
are sold in England at ono-half the price
oharged for them hero, on account of the
competition of English machines. The
petent laws could also be much amended
by refusiog patents to inventions that
have no ingenuity in them, or arc too in
significant to deserve any exclUBivo rights.

Oa the 2»ih of April iho Coni m Mon
appointed by the city of Cuinmbna, and
conaiatir.g of Judge M. .1. Crawford, Hon.
John Mctlhanny, Gol. R. L. Mott, and
Major Oalboon, proceeded to Wa»:iogton
to auk of Congrexa an appropriation for
tba improvement of tbe Chattahoochee.
Thie is a work of great neeexaity to tho
people of Georgia, Alabama aod Florida
in an area of fifty thousand square mil**,
and tb*Commission, apart from tha actual
and immediate necessity for tbe under
taking, was emboldened in its request by
tho fact that no appropriation had aver
been made bofor* for this purpose by
Congress. Next week we will give a
number of letters describing minutely
the work of tbe Commission, bat here we
will lay before our reader* en outline of
its work and the raxnlta.
Before reaching Washington tbe gen
tlemen of the Commission learned,
through the press, that tha House Com
mittee on Commerce had made its report,
aud bad set aside all recommendations for
“new work,” under wbioh heed the im
provement of the Chattahoochee would
come. On Saturday, Mey 1st, they found
Congress in session, and at onos want to
work to learn what could be done to ac
complish their purpose in tbe face of tbe
report. They wero kindly reoeived, not
only by Mr. Harris and the whole Georgia
delegation, but by every man irrespective
of section with whom they cento in con
tact, and tbe unanimous statement wee,
“It is too late to have yonr bill brought
before the House, bnt let it originate with
tbe Committee on Commerce of the 8en-
ato, and meet with favorable considera
tion in that body, when we will pledge
the earnest support of the House."
Enough members were seen to guarantee
ita euccoMt, aud then tbe Commission
turned its attention to the Senate. Gen.
Gordon, fortnnately, wee on tho desired
committee, end bis great icfinonce, sec
onded by Judge Crawford's acquaintance
end tact, gave tbe Commission a favora
ble reception and a kindly bearing, boores
of Senators were met, sod with few ex
ceptions they became at once interested,
and promised their support and influence
to tbo bill granting sn appropriation of
$3(1,000 for tbe improvement of tbs Chat-
takoucbce. Tbo whole subject ia now in
tbo hands of the Senate committee, with
uvery ronsonsblo probability of ita favor-
able consideration, and, in this event, the
certainty of its passnga in the House.
Tbo Commission found that Mr. Wbitaly,
from tbo Ilainbridgo District, bad been
working for some time (o get an appro-
pri ition for the river lower down, and in
cluding tbe Flint. He co-operated with
the gentlemen from Columbian moat
heartily, and be will work bard for
tbe now bill till its fate before this
Congress is settled. The above
gives an outline, of the eondition
of tbe Commission's work, bat it
gives no idea of tho labor acoom-
plishod during tbeir short sojourn in
Washington. They worked bard and
earnestly, and in this they were encour
aged by the oordiul reception met with
from men of every section aud party.
The bust illustration of the heartinees of
this grouting may be gaiued front tbe case
of Judge Crawford. This gentleman
solved before tho war in Congress with
Logan, Conkling, Chandler, Sherman and
many other well known Republicans now
in tho House or Senate,who are generally
known for their atroog Union and pre
sumed partisan feelings. Home of tbe
Judge's friends thought he would be oold-
ly received, and indeed be bad some idea
that bis reception would bo calmly digni
fied : but his old friendB forgot old polit
ical fights, forgot tbe war and politics
and met him to use hiB words “with tbo
wsrmlb of a brother.”
It surprised the Commission to age
how torribly confused are the old lines
of purty demarcation, aud how inevitable
is that breaking up of parties which we
have so lon^ asserted was coming soon,
and which, for the good of the country, is
so much to be desired. The most careless
observer could not help noting the growing
feeling of affinity between tba Booth
and West, which is tha preoursor of a
union of seotionB in seventy-six that must
swoop to success over old party iinss and
worthless party traditions.
As this and kindred subjects will be
treated of in our correspondence, we
will abstain from tho tempting epecula-
tion of the future of parties, nnd ssy in
conclusion that tbo Commission is mnch
indebted to tho newspaper press of Wash
ington, which general,.ly opened ita col
umns to advooata tbe interests of oar
people aud tho improvement of oar noble
river.

TENNESSEE POLITICS.
Tennessee, like Louisiana and the Car-
olinis, has under consideration what is
called a “funding” measure, bnt tbe real
object of which is to scale the' bonded
debt of the State by giving new bonds
for tho old ones, at a considerable dis
count from tbe face of the latter. This
proposition has distracted the Democratic
party, and may lead to its defeat at the
next general election, A meeting of pol
iticians was hold in Nashville last week,
to consider this question. We believe
that it was attended by both Democrats
aud Republicans. Andrew Johnson was
iu the city, and it was generally thought
that bo was in sympathy with the move
ment to form an independent party sup
porting the funding measure end other
“reforms.” But ho declined to address
the meeting when eallod upou, promising
to give bis views st some fatare time.
The prime mover iu the proposition to
form a uew party was Col. Colyar, s well
known Democratic politician. He re
ferred to tho depression of the farming
interest aud to tbe difficulty wbioh farm
era experienced in borrowing money, aud
quoted from Thomas Jefferson that “no
debt sbonld be saddled upon a second
generation, and that all people ought to
bo freed from debt at the end of every
nineteen years, on the ground that those
who incurred tho debt were dead.” He
said : “This question of taking nil the
people make, to pay the interest npon a
debt, rises utiove all party considerations,
fora long; wo all have got them, in some j They can not bo made to pay it, and they
way or another, aud whatever there is in will not pay it."

been talking to a newspaper reporter
about the military operations of the war, l
and on being asked if be thought it wonld
have bean possible for the South to suc
ceed under any circumstances, replied:
Thera were soma laming points ia the
wet whieh, I think, had they been prop
erly managed, would have made the strag
gle a enow-os. The two greatest disasters
were the failure of Gen. Beauregard to
follow up the victory at Shiloh, aud of
Geo. Bragg to follow up tha victory at
ChickautHnga. I look upon tbum aa the
decisive fate of our country. I think if
ere bad followed np those victories tba
South would now have boss an indepan-
dent mitior.
At ChickHmauga, on Snnday, the root
of the Federal army was oomplete. Man-
day morning I drove tbe Federal pickets
into the town of Chattanooga, when tha
enemy wee disorganised, with tbe excep
tion of e few brigades. If General Bragg
had followed np his viotory on Snndsy
night, he could have captured the entire
army with little or no resistance. With
tbe ceptared horses he oould hove mount
ed 20,009 men, including his own cavalry,
with which we could have captured Naih-
ville and ths State of Tennessee, and
could have taken the whole of Keutuaky,
end perhaps Cincinnati, before the enemy
oould have gotten reinforcements to
ebeok ns. Had this bsen done, the back
bone of Ihtrwer wood have been broken,
end the contest settled in onr favor.
Reporter—Bnt do yon think it was pos
sible for Gen. Bragg to have accomplished
this in the face of tbe difficulties by wbioh
be was snrronnded, and in tha fees of
each a Urge army 1
General—I think it eonid have been
done bed tbe pnranit been kept np on
Snndsy night. Tbs Federal troops wars
completely pania-stricken, aod were hud
dled together among their wagons and
oattle, end other pleoes, and were in no
mood to fight. I think it was one of tbe
greatest dUastera in failing to push on at
thst fight.
