Stocks of the regenerated delinquent States aro steadily advancing, and holders have so much faith in their ultimate value that an ims provement in the market price does not bring them out as rapidly asin times past. They are held a:most en- such are the best securities in the market. Holders of Illineis and Indiana realize about four per cent. on the investment at the present market price, and those who purchased when prices were more depressed, realize from six to seven per cent. on the outlay. Under these circumstances, capitalists can afford to hold, as the dividend is equal te the legal rate of interest in this State, and the margin forjan advance, voth in the market price and in the rate of interest, is so great that they are mnoh sought after, and must eadily improve. Those who are intimately acquainted with the re- sources of the!Western States, know that the estimates, relative to the revenue of the public works of those States, are much below what will without doubt be real- ized. We can form no idea of the rapid growth of such States as Indiana and [ilinols, and it is utterly impos- sible to calculate, with apy degree of correctness, what the revenue from their publ{o works will be from year to your, after they are finished, Those engaged in the arrangement of the financial af- fairs of the State of Indiana, have made an estimate of the probable revenuo of the Wabash and Erie Canal for each year up to 1863, showing that after that year, the whole interest on the public debt of that State oan be paid. Ifsuch is the result of calculations based upon the revenue of that portion of the canal now finished, ‘we do not hesitate to predict that the revenue will ex- ceed the most sanguine expectations. period stipulated, tne revenue will exceed the amount named; but it would not be good policy to resume the payment of the tull interest ® moment before the year 1853, no matter how favorable the condition of the finances of the State may in the meantime be. ‘The Illinois and Michigan Canal will be completed by ‘the Ist of November, not in time, however, for the trans- Portation of produce this year, but it is expected every thing will be ready upon the opening of the spring of 1848. The annexed account of this work, will givea ~ better idea of it than any we have heretofore seen, and will be interesting to the bondholders of the Stati IuLinors axp Micntcan Cayat, ‘The Illinois and Michigan Canal extends from Chica- 0, on Lake Michigan, to La Salle, at thi tion on the Illinois river, w distance of 101 canal is constructed the same size as the proposed enlargement of the Erie Canal of New York— the water boing six feet in de urtace §=The loc! 8, and 18 feet wide, admitth conveying 160 tons burden. canal was to be supplied wil it is now construc! tirely for investment, and Long before the head of steam- pth and sixty feet wide at are 110 feet long between the ing the passage of boats Upon the original plan, this drawn directly trom d with a summit 4 , in part, through a feeder elumet river, and, in er, which rune fo ut 17 imiles long, {rom the ¢ by introducing the Des Fiaines ri considerable distance slong side of the canal. the surface of which is on # level with the in the cnnal at the #ammit. ply, in all ordinai fore maximum trade on th treme drought, there will be a foot per minute ; and to a1 two steam engines of 1 al, but in seasons of ex- ficiency of 3.300 cubic ors® power each, junction of the canal with ‘hicago. the Chicago river, 5 miles sout these engines is to be pumps of 434 , and in part to a wheel float chamber, to ralee the water here on level with the la, 8 lege level. ‘The re- aired £0" work, thee "rien the eel san eee eemenret to apply to some ind of manufactures. ‘The canal icago river for 5 miles from a lock of 8 feet lift. to the eummit first lock at the valleys of the Des vers, by 15 | locks; pemegaten 6 at of 140 feet.

This canal has very few mechanical structures in pro- portion to its length. There are but four aqueducte, and only ten stone arch cuiverts of 8 to 20 fuet ] and two stone dams,one across Des Plains, and one across the Du Page rivers. The whole of the canal has been constructed in the most thorough aud permanent man- ner, and reflects great credit upon the skill, and scienti- fic acquirements of the Engineer-in-Chief, Wm. (iood- e aportant feature of this canal, and of canals in over other modes of communication, is the wa- ter po hich they create for manufacturing purposes. The effect of which is to increase directly the amount of business on the canal, by the transportation of the raw materials and of the manufastured products, but it has a further effect in its influence upon the more speedy settlement of the re and levelopement of the agricultural and mineral resources of the country adja- cent, to these lines of improvement. It Is estimated, that above the town of Joliet, there will be 84 runs of stone, on # fall of 60 feet; and below that place, 45 runs, on a fall of the same amount, making 129 runs of stones. ‘This quantity of power may be in- creased, by using the whole force of the steam power, to ratse the water eight feet high from the Chicago river, and nucheraieg this additional quantity of water at the south end of the summit level over a fall of 60 feet. Of course it is impossible from the rapitity with which this Western country is filling up with inbabi- tants, and of not being able to foresee to what extent changes may take place in the present modes and routes for the transportation of the great interior commerce of the West, to make any definite calculations as to the amount of business which may be done on the canal.— The following exhibit has been prepared so person who is well acquainted with the subject.

SCOTT IN THE CAPITAL STILL LN DOUBT, The Reported Reception of the Peace Propositions, dic. dic. dc. Telegraphic Despatch, No. 1. Puitapecesia, 13th August—A. M. Our Brazos dates are to the 31st July. General Scott's arrival at the Capital was still a mat- ter of uncertainty, Telegraphic Despatch, No. 2. Ricumonn, August 13—A. M. ‘The steamer Ohio from the Brazos and Matamoras, arrived at New Orleans on the Sth inst. The New Orleans Picayune and Delta, of the 6th, quote trom the Matamoras Flag, which says it had been rumored there for a week that General Scott kad ar- rived in the city of Mexico with @ loss of three hundred ‘The Flag now learns from good authority that posi- tive intelligence has been received there to that effect; but whether the fight occurred at Rio Frio or at the City of Mexico itself, or at what time General Scott ar- rived in the capital, are matters of uncertainty. It was also asserted that Gen. Valencia had left Sen Luis for the capital with a large force. Ge received information that Urrea was this side of the mountains with 4,000 men. Gen. Hopping sent to Matamoras for a squadron of dragoons, but one company of men only was sent him. Caravajal, with 260 men, has been seen 25 leagues be- yond Matamoras. He had detained a large number of mules loaded for that place, besides 100 cargoes of goods sent from Matamoras to Monterey. It was rumored at Buena Vista that Gen. Russ, with an army of 3000 strong, was marching in that direction, and that troops were moving on Parras. A company of mounted cavalry had been stationed at the pass below Saltillo, and pickets were stationed on the road to Agus Nueva, and other measures adopted to guard against any sudden movements. : Capt. Parker, with two pieces of artillery, was sent to reconnoitre, but discovered nothing. Information has been received by Mexicans from Parras, that the Indians had destroyed three Ranchos and killed 300 Mexicans. Apprehensions of an attack were entertained at the mouth of the Rio Grande, where the depot of public property, containing some seventy loads, was protected by @ guard o. fifteen men only. ‘The steamer Fashion had not arrived at New Orleans, Hopping Telegraphic Despatch No. 3. Puaverrmia, August 13—A. M. ‘We learn that papers have been received by General Taylor, at Monterey from General Wool at Saltillo, en- closing a communication from the Capital of the 26th It is respecting Trist proposing the thirty-sixth de- gree; thence to the Pacific; America to indemnify Mexico for territory taken. It is stated that the proposition is approved of by Mr. Bankhead, the British Minister; but that the Mexicans Jt is mentioned that Gen, Minon has gone to San Luis Potosi, and thence to the capital.

Certain of our friends here have challenged us to write a dignified letter. It has been our serious convie- tion that the conversational is the true style of epistola- ry correspondence, and we think that some little expe- has substantially corroborated this impression,— For the present, however, we shall attempt that style of monotonous verbosity peculiar to your straight-leced sixpenny paper attaches—wherein obscurity is confound- ed with profundity, and point is sacrificed to precision. We have no telegraphic adviees to-day from the South. Several hours have passed since the regular time of arrival of the mail at Richmond, so that the ad- ministration, the speculators, and the public will be held in suspense and expectation for at least another term of twenty-four hours. Indeed, it may be that several days will elapse in advance of authentic returns from Gen. Scott's division of the army; because it is well under- stood that there is no regular daily, nor indeed any reg- ular communication between Vera Cruz and New Or- If,then, there should be but « spare steamer, or swift sailing vessel at Vera Cruz, it may be there de- tained by the local American autharities in anticipa- tion of an express messenger from the General-in- t of the American foro pal W? ibe Meaican capital If, therefore, we should not, for several days, hear directly from Vera Crus, we may infer that the Americans in that city ¢ just ground to expect « bearer of despatches from Gen, Scott, and the gratifying intelligence of the capit- ulation of the imperial city: and that with such convio- tion, the vessel or vessels due have been detained in awaiting some satisfactory returns from Gen. Seott’s head-quarters. We do not intend to assume the position that ne news may be expected from Gen. Scott’s army for seve- ral days yettocome.
