Its Proposed pr pidferent Mages e 3 ‘The fact that the canal is really to be cleaned and put in a navigable condition, excites no lit- tle attention, and we are daily in receipt of in quiries in regard to the improvement and what will be accomplished by it. By the tenor of some of these inquiries it is evident that there is considerabie misapprehension as to the ex- tent of the improvement, and for one thing a good many seem to sappose that the canal is to be but four feet if depth when cleaned. To set this matter right we have obtained the foliow- ing information from Mr. Severson, Commis- sioner of the Canal: According to data ob- tained at the Coast Survey, the mean rise and fall of the spring tides is 33 feet; that of the neap tides 2.6 feet; and the mean rise and fall 2.9 feet. But occasionally the tides rise about 3 feet higher, and at other times fall about 2 feetlower than these lises. Hence, when the canal shall have been dredged as contemplated, to 4 feet below the plane of Jowest tid its depth of water at times of lowest tides witl be 4 feet, at mean low tide 5.9 feet, at mean high tide 8.8 feet, at highest tides 11.7 feet, and be- tween mean low and mean high tides the aver- age depth will be 7.35 feet. INTERNAL RevENvE.—The receipts from this source to-day were $434,198.43, SAFETY OF THE SHENANDOAH.—Information has been received here of the arrival of the U. S. steamer Shenandoah at Lisbon. PayMasterR Henry M. MRang, U. S. N., o¢ this city, has been detached from the Kersarge, and ordered to settle his accounts. Promorions.—Samuel G. Arnold, has been Promoted from third to fourth class clerkship, and Wm. B. Brown, from second to third class in the Internal Revenue office. SECRETARY Cox will give up hishouseon New Jersey avenve next week, and leave this city for his home in Ob‘o immediately atier re- tiring from the Interior Depariment, which will be on Monday next. Mr. Delaro will take Sarge of th> Department on Tuesday. THE Wast Virginia ELRcTION.—A telegram received this morning by the democratic execu- tive committee irom West Virginia apnounces that the democrats in that State have elected two out of the three members ef Congress, be- sides @ democratic governor and democratic legislature, thus securing the election of a democratic renator in place of Mr, Willey. WALT WHITMAN'S NEXT FRIEND, Wm. D. O'Conner, of the Treasury department, who is Just taking his vacation, has been making it uso- ful, it is said, by completing a poem of some length urder the title of “Caprice.” If it should be as readable as his prose no one wil! object. His stories are cleavely written and that published in Harper's Magazine some years ago, entitled ‘The Knocker,” is one of the best, in construction and expression, of the ghostly ro- mances founded on the manilestations of modern *piritulism we have seen. “ WHAT's THAT CRowD?” said onr reporter tp himself, while coursing through the different departments to-day. No one was on hand to tell, for there were all the clerks you might imagine in one crowd. On! yes; it’s pay day, as was soon dircovered. And there they stood, in Uncle Sam’s various palatial offices, in single file. Every now and then there was astep for- ward, and at the same instant could be seen a haypy individual emerging from the room into which the eager crowd were resoived to penetrate, with a roll of greenback, which were hastily at first, then again and again more carefully counted. About in spots you could see elderly ladies watch- ing caretally each and every man as he rolled his pile into either purse or vest pocket, some of the Jaiter geicing off without molesta- tion, while others, who were probably in arrears, were et once approached with “Now, Mr. you promised me to-day, yeu know you did. Now be the man of your word.” Mr. faker aback, but with money in hand, unable t) wince) “Well, but Mrs. — to-day V’ve got to” (Mrs, — interrupting) “Yes, got to pay me “stoed it long enough,” and over he would fork the cash most reluctantly. Others went on their way rejoicing, with none to importune them, being all straight, apparently, with their land- Jadies and Lcot-makers. NAVAL ACTIVITY.—Orders have been received at the Charlestown (Mass.) navy-yard for the different departments to estimate immediately the time and expense of fitting for sea, with di- patch, the monitors Wassue, Shawnee, Mian o- nomoh. and the ‘Ticonderoga, Worcester, Wa- besh, Niagara, Sabine, California ana ‘three other vessels.

The will of the late Admiral John A. Dabl- gren, dated December Ist, 1866, was filed and ad- mitted to probate in the Orphans’ Court of this District this morning, and letters of adminis- tration, with will annexed, were issued to his widow, who gave bond in £30,000. This will commences as follows :—‘+ Being abut to leave the United States on public daty in foreign seas, and being in sound health of mind and body, for which the Mercifal Creator be praised, it seems to me fitting that I should declare my wishes in regard to the little property which I possess.” He then disposes of bis property, and directs that “a bronze statue be erected over the grave of my dearly beloved son, Ulric Dahlgren, and to bis historical vindication trom the base asper~ sions of those who counten.nced the savage barbarity with which h's remains were treated And I do charge upon a'l my descendants that they shall spare no means or effo, is to carryout this purpose, which I still hope God may grant me life to do myself.” He bequeathed the whole of his property to his daughter Eva, (since deceased,) including his claim on the government for the use of the Dabigren gun and pension—his sons being able to make the'r living; and states that the will was made with the approbation of his wife. prvi +200.
