'U"/tion ofllze Atlantic cz-nil Pacific Oceans.
-'—-lhe company chartered by the govern-
ment of New Grenada to construct a Ship
Canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, have completed their surveys, made
a road over the Isthmus, and are proceeding
to make the canal. A n authentic account in
the Cincinnati Chronicle says:
The company having completed a provis
ional or temporary roadfrom the. bay of
Charera, on the Pacific; to the town ofCha-
grass on the Atlantic Ocean, is not only freed
from the necessity of requiring additional
time, but the republic ofNew Grenada could
not refuse it without violating its engage-
ments, since the company have completed
its contract before even the expiration of the
time limited for the construction ofany com-
munication wliateve‘r.- Besides this, it has
caused the whole country through which
the projected canal is to pass, as well as all
the rivers and water courses which ninst
contribute to it, to he thorougly explored.
These explorations, conducted with great
talent by the Engineer, Morel, have demon-
strated thatt-lie Isthmus of Panama, instead
ofbeing a ridge of rocks, as many geogra-
phers have described it, is on the contrary
a valley, from 4 to 13 miles in width, and
scattered over'with conical heights of front
20 to 60 feet elevation, which on the east
and west, rest upon low chains varying from
M0 to 415 feet in height. Among these
small conical heights, wind in all directions
various streams and rivers, which descend
from the terminritions of the Andes and unite.
in two priiicipal channels. The one. which
is the river Chagres, throws itself into the
Carribbean Sea; the other, called the Rio
Grande, flows toward the Pacific Ocean.-
Tlie dividing country between these rivers
has an elevation of only 37 feet above the
highest known level of the sea, or 64 feet
above low tides; the flood tides sometimes
attaining a height of 27 feet.
The excavation or cutting necessary to
unite the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by
means of the river Vine Tinto, Bernardino
and Fazfan, is only twelve miles and a half;
the fall will be regulated by four double
locks 188 feet in length.—The whole ofthe
projected canal will be 49 miles in length,
‘.35 feet in breadth at the surface of the wa-
ter, and 55 feet at the bottom, ‘.20 feet in depth
and will be navigable for ’ vessels of from
1000 to I400 ions. All the rivers ' which
are to serve as parts in the canal have, at the
lowest water, a depth varyingfrom 8 to 15
feet; they will be swept and excavated to a
depth of 20 feet, and kept at that depth by
means of two guard locks. The country
through which the canal will pass, presents
a clayish and coaly soil, wii.h no rock ex-
cept at the mouth of the Chagres, where
the formation is so slaty that it will present
no obstacle.
Although the construction of the canal of
Panama will require no purchase of land
and no outlay for static, lime, or cement, all
which materials are to be found an the spot,
still the company has not hesitated to esti-
mate its cost at the highest rates ofconstruct-
ing such works. as those, for example. ofthe

of this confession. It explains many things
connected with the affair before wi';ippcd in
mystery--especially the apathy ofthe moth-
er of Miss Rogers upon the'discovery of the
body. It will be rememberid that she did
not even go to identify it and made no inqui-
ries concerning the affair.
Thus has this fearful mystery which has
struck fear and terror to so many hearts,
been at last explained by circumstances in
which no one can fail to perceive a Provi-
deniinl agency. Besides the guilty murder-
er, the secret rested between two persons.-—
One of these, through the involuntary agr n-
cy ofthe other, is laidjnpon her death hr-d-—
and then conscience, no longer able to keep
silence, breathes its accusation into the ear
of Justice. lVe rejoice most deeply at this
revelation, and that the scene of this unhappy
viciim’s death is relieved of some of the bar-
rors with which conjecture, apparently well
founded, had surroun.led it. if we rceollect
aright, some physicians of this city tcsiified
with great personal confidence as to the inan-
ner of her deatli—-—describing very minutely
the kind and degree of personaliviolcnce to
which she had been subjected. Their state-
ments aro shown to be baseless. Should not
this tend to diminish somewhat the implicit

these estimates are inclu led the cost of fourl

Iran, 140 feet in length, and several small-
er ones.

Horrible Ii;'.’u.i'(Ie-r on Long Islcutd. -—A
shocking. murder was corniuitted on Sunday
night on the persons of a farmer named Al-
exander Smith and his wife, at a place on
Long Island called Old Fields, four miles
from Huntington. A foreigner believed to be
a German, aged about 22 years, 5 feet 9 in-
ches high, dressed in a coat, pauttiloons and
cap all of green cloth, and ti checked waist-
coat, with mustachios, and speaking broken
English. is suspected. He is ascertained to
have taken passage at Cold Spring in" the
steamboat, on Monday morning for this city.
Robbery is supposed to have been the mo-
tive of the horrible deed. Mr. Smith was
sixty years old, a man of wealth, owning a
large farm, and was supposed to have con-
siderable sums of specie in the house. He
was feeble, and from appearance was the
first victim, and despatched without resist
ance. Mrs. Smith was a stout woman, and
from the torn condition of her dress apppears
to have had a scufiie with the assassin. The
instrument used by the murderer was a stone
hammer. Mr. Smith had eigbtor ten men
his employment, all of whom went to their
respective homes on S.iturdiy night,
the suspected foreigner, who remained in the
house but had deczimprd on Monday morn-
ing. The time of the murder is ascertained
by the fact, that the tea table was found stan-
ding and spread, ready or nearly so, for Mr.
and Mrs Smith to taketheir evening repast.
Grcatexcitement of course. spread every
where with the news, and we hope, from the
singular dress of the man who must be the
murderer, that he will be arrested before
twenty four hours have passed.

In the neighboring town of Griswold, an

Two colored families living together in the
same house, had got into a drunken brawl,
when one of the women was turned out of
doors by the other. and a young child ofthe
former was afterward found dead upon the
hearth with marks ofvioleuce on its body
indicating that its death was caused by blows
inflicted upon it bv some one remaining in
the house. The. father ofthe child, and the
other titan and his wife, were arrested and

A newspaper in a family seems to shed a
gleam of ivitelligence around. It gives the
children a taste for reading~—it communicates
all the important events in the busy world
—it is never. failing source ofamusenient,a and
furnishes a fund of instruction which will
never be exhausted. Every family, however
poor, if they wish to hold a place in the rank
of intelligent beings, should take at least one
newspaper; and the titan who is instigated
by the vile spirit of cupidity and neglects to
subscribe to a newspaper, is deficient in the
duties of a parent or a good citizen, and dc-
serving of the censure of his intelligent
neighbors. ,
It appcairs by the Bufiiilo Commercial Ad-
vertiser that upon the reception of the news
of the loco foco victory, ‘the Post Office
building was illtiuiiriated, and ‘its windows
decorated with exiilting mottoes, in honor of
the loco foco majority in this State. Amid
all the fierce party contests in this country,
never before has a building occupied as an
office of the General Government, in which
the whole people have a common property,
been dvsecrated by such a display to coin-
iiieinmorate a paitizan triumph.
The infamy of this outrage—for an infa-
moas outrage it was—— rests upon Climles C.
Haddoclc, a man who owes his present posi
tion to the Whigs. Unless President Ty-
lei is utterly lost to all sense ofthe proprie-
ty that should govern the conduct of a Fed-

will an instant dissmissal from oflice. The

theentire foot of the other foreleg was whol-
