Februnry following tho election of 1863 Mr, Donnelly entered Into certain negotiations with tho munuyor of tho railroad lobby referred to. Mr. Donnelly was thon still a memocr of Porgrev, and thn fobhy was very active in try- ing to get thrownl the House a bill giving ta the Memphis & El Paso Railroad Company a churter and an extensive land-grant. The bill passed the House at that sesdon. Tho nature of Mr, Donnellys conneetion with tho agont of tho Company |e suitlciently explained by, the following extract from tho records of tho Com- puny, which were first PRINTED FIVE YEARS AGO: “Tho Committes also approve a transfer of $200,000 stock, made by W.

His purpose wis to show that no power oxiata In tho Legisiature to reviso or roverse tho findings of 4 court-martial, To-day ho silenced Kornan ond Randolph, who interrupted him. When Kernan attompted to confuse tho issue, Lognn showed that the only proposition in tho Randolph substitute fs a provision to restore Fitz Jolin Porter to the army with §60,000 buck pry, notwithatunding the fact that Porter has not been pardoned, and that the court-martial hag not been .unnulled.. Tho controversy with Itandolph was of amore serious charactor, and fa likely to lead yot ton hot debate, Randolph has. sought to make (tuppeur that Gon. McDowell's sworn testiinony and official reportaare in direct ventradietion, Logun maintalued tho contrary, and proved it, and stuted that atl declarations to the contrary were unqualifiedly false. Logan promised to-morrow to examine the record in dotail, and to show that Porter had deliberately digobeyod tho orders of bia superior oftlvors, and that in consequence of that disobedience our armics bad suffered dofeat. ‘THK DENATE, To the Western Associated Presa, Wasntnaton, D.C, March 3.—In tho Senate, tho morning hour expiring, Mr. Logan resumed his speech on tho Fitz John Porter bill, He ehullunged the Senator from New Jerscy (Ran~ golphy to produce proof of tha churgo made in bia recent specch that Gen, MaDowell had, before the cuurtmartinl, reported to the War Department his knowledgo of the force in front of Porter, though on the court-martial he swore he did not know it, Mr. Itandolph replied that he did state in his romurke that Gen, McDowell swore on Porter's trial thut he had no knowledge of tho force in front or him; that is, as to whother fewus Lone Atreot's, or Jackson's, or either, Ho now re- statod that, and read from 3cDowall’s testimony boforo tha Court, Including the following: “ Question by Porter's counsol—When you left hccused where you found him on the th, wore you at that timondvised Longstrect's corps or uy other corps of the Confudorate army wis a, ing on to unite with therightof Jack- son?" “Anawor—I did not know anything about Tongstreot's corps or Jackson's corps, I havo mienuaned before that] received a note from Gen, Buford that seventeen reximonta, a bate tery, and 600 cavalry were marching from Gahiosvillo, To whom they belonged or where they were yoing was not & mattur of which £ ‘was Justructod. “ Questlon—Haye you knowledge now of what wasthe actual forcoof theenomy under tho commiunad of Jackson, or did you know Jackson ‘wad in command of the enemy?" *Anawer—L did not know Jackson was there, Thaye boon told by was thorv.

Is there any power to authorize anew trinl by a Court that would have authority to bring Portor before itand try bin? Mr. Kernan—I believe there is power, on ap- nication of the aceused, for Congress to author zen tribunal to rehenr the onse.

TITE MISSISSIPPI IMPROVING THR UPPER MIVER. Special Dispatch to The Chicage Tribune, WasiixaTox, D, C., March 3.—Mnj.-Gen. Wright, Chief of Engineers, has made a further report on,thd improvemont of tho Upper Missie- sippl. The report deale with tho feasibility, cost, ete., of cunstructing dains to create re: yoirs ut Lake Winnibizoshish, Mud Lake, Leech Lake, below the Vermilion Hiver, at Pokeguma Falla, at Gull Lake, and at Pine River, 60 a8 to nasiat In making the Upper Misalsaipp! navign- bie. From careful criculations made us to the amnount of rainfall, evaporation, absorption, ete, for fifteen months, itappeara that the reservolrs mentioned, if properly dammed, would contain about 60,000,000,000 rubla fect of ‘water available for uso after the Ist of July. It is probable, however, that tho volume of wa- ter in the Upper Misalsstppi will accommodate navigatiot until the 15th of July. The relensy af the watera in tho ‘reservoirs at that time would inerease the volumo of water in tho great river about 6,400 cubic fect passing n given point Ingsccond, Tho volume which passes St. Paul in the normal condition of tho stream {9 5,600 cuble fect, so that tho Incra- ment from the reservoirs would make the yol- ume 12,200 feet, or more than double the capac- ity of tho river as at present, and Gen. Wright says tho river must be Sospicable whose navi- gation wonld not be asalstod by doubling its luw- cat water volunie,”” S THIS INCREASE in tho volume of water will doubtloss add great- ly to tho width of the river, increnalng the aur- inee for evaperntion, but it will also gruatly Inereass the depth. From mathemnt- Tent calculations ft would apponr that, If the width of the stream be estimuted at 1.000 feet, whieh Is improbable, the dept would be at feast four fect: and if the with be 1,000 feet, the depth will be cight feet. The ostablishinent of reservoirs, thon, at tho source of the Mississippl will benelit navigation from Grand Herids to the heat of Luke Pepin, and render valuable for agricultuiul purposes lirge tracts of fertile lands between Grand Raplis and Fort liptey. The ercution of a single reservoir or tho coustrig tion of a single dam would bo usacless ave O68 on experiment, The cost of the works projected by Gen. Wright woutd be about $400,0uy, und the cost of operating the samo would bo about $7440 por annum. Gen. Wright thea considers tho inprovement™ of the” Uppor~ Missy ssippl feasible, and tho estimated cost inconsiderable compured to the advantage which would reault therefrom.

This sediment is borne along by the current in such manner that a linge part of Ut ts held iu more or lesa constant suspension in the water, whilo a portion ja rolled or ewept along on tho bottom.
