AVlii:e Wuier Talley Canal. 7hisrs. Editors: A many of our citizens are in-; termed id the White ater Vallry canal, either an Sfock'ioIJers or crrditir. a few remarks may riot be unint- restirj. And ß'"t I will premise by statin;? that ufu-r the h';aie of Indiana had expanded over a million f dollar;), was by ti e condition of I r ßna'tcts oblipd to suspend operation mi it. A charter a granted to a company in Indiana, and nil that had been done was given, vn condi ion t!ie Canal was finished from Lawrtncebnrh to CitiibriI,e City, reserving the privilege of m'en.ptiun at rot of tonstrict. on at ar.y time after fifsevn years from dale of completion Stock was eulscribetl payable in annual instalments of from one to seven years not wishing to delay the work, ti e Company contracted with a gectleinan of this city to finish it, payinr him in E-uids at ten years, collecting in the meantime tin? instal ments of the stock, with the intention of paying ff the Jtfcnds as ihey matured. The arranjren.ent was a good one, and all would have done well but for the unprecedented rise of White Water River and the inability of the wrok to withstand its current. One breach after another followed, until the fundi and credit of the Company was exhausted nr alternative was left, Lut to abandon the Canal or to tax the stock sufficiently to make a thorough repair. The latter was done, and it is paid by the Engineer (Mr. Mor) and all who know anything about it, that it h now in a much better condition than it ever was. The dams have been widened, Banks heightened, Lovks, Aquafiucts and Culverts strengthened and repaired, and everything looks new as if it would last. But in doing all this, the company has had to incur a considerable debt, besides arrears for former repairs and in terest on the Bonds referred to, the whole however is ro inconsiderable in comparison to the real value of the Canal, that the Directors feel no hesitation in saytnz that it can be managed with perfect ease and conven ience provided the creditors will aid them in carry in 5 out their plans. Various ways have been devised to get rid of tne vexation and embarrassment of man 82lDJ eo many small debts one was of again taxing the stock sufficiently to absorb them. But as stock holders nave no relish lor that svMotn or taxation, it tins been abandoned for one thst will be presented for their consideration and which 1 trust will be met with approbation namely, funding the debt in bunds running a few years, with interest payable semi-annu al v. Notwithstanding the misfortunes of the Canal (not the least of which was the failure of the wheal crop,) thr tolls and water rents amounted to more than S'H, 000 in 1S49. It is believed they will reach $50,000, in 1S50. The whole debt, not including th bonds f.-r completion, does not quite reach 301,000. The .:ts it is supposed will amount to 50 00; leaving S&CO.OOO of a deficit. Near one-half of the debt is funded. If $100.000, 0r 125,000 more can be ar ranged, no difficulty is apprehended in it future prosperity and credit. In the9 remarks I do not wieli to be understood as giving the precise amount of liabil itii-s en receipts, my object U merely a sketch of how matters stand. The President (Mr. Newman) will in a short time make a more satisfactory report. The directors have had no wish to conceal the condition of the Company : their only motive in not publishing a statement for seme time has been fnm considerations of economy, and a desire to make known euih facts in regard to its entire liabilities ns can le obtained only when all the repairs should have been dene, and the Engineer's reports fully and finally mnV. I l ave been a Director only since the first of January, was at their last meeting in Connersville on the 7th instant, and can testify to the efforts of my associate?, to manage the concern wisely and honorably. I have known a majority of thern for over twenty years, and can assure the friends of the Company that whatever plans they may recommend for their consideration is entitled to respect. In conclusion, I must say that the country through which this canal runs, is not surpassed by any in the known world, for fertility of soil, and energy of its pro; le. Large towns are scattered along its banks, aid new firms datly opening, pouring upon its hi res the abundance of thfir productions. In time it will be one of the richest portions of the West. JOHN. D. JONES. Hon. E. A. Hansegan. The Covington People's Friend has the following: " A scurrilous article concerning Mr. Hannegan's cor.d-jct as .Minister to Berlin, appeared recently in a liostou paper, and has since been copied into one or two papers in the Weat. Thoae who know Sir. Hunt'an best will require no refutation in print of such be charges of inebriety, licentiousness and in aj acity, to condemn them at once ; and these who do not know him so well, will act charitably and wisely, in suspending condemnation until he has had an opportunity to refute the accusations accusations coiirort-t-d by some shameless scamp, who for unpiith'mnuly conduct has merited Mr. Hannegan's displeasure. and perhaps received his public contempt We have also the following from the N. Y. Globe We perceive that our late Minister to Berlin, Hon. Edward A. Hannegan, has returned in t . Eurr.p.i ; and a personal friend of ours, who knew him intimately abroad, authorises us to say that the letter defamatory of Mr. Hannegan, published in the whig papers of Btston, and copied elsewhere, makes nothing but statements utterly without foundation. Mr. Hannegan never tasted a drop of ardent spirits during bis whole residence in Europe, and his conduct was of the most amiable and exemplary character under ail circumstances. The stori, ihervfore, i f the letter writer in question are most cruel as well as unjust, and were no doubt the manufacture of some personal ill reeling and malignity. We trust that the journals which gave unintentional circulation to theso malicious charges against Mr. Hauuegait, will copy this correction. We may add, that we have indirectly the testimony of t vo ladies, passengers in the same ship home with .a ja. iVir. nannegan, that H ere was nor tue slightest impropriety in his conduct during all the passage, and that if he drank intoxicating liquor, they had nu evi deuces of it whatever. fj"The Natioinl Er recently said something cen curious towards t)ie Hon. Mr. Fitch, one of the In diana members in Congress. The Era misapprehend ed his position, as will be seen by the following card to the editor, which he admits is satisfactory. We copy the card, so that Mr. F. may be placed right. before our readers: A CARD. IIocsk or Reprise stati vis, Thursday, Feb. 7, 1H50. Da.

When Mr. GiddinpV resolution was introduced, being immediately after Mr. Root's had been voted down.it was readily anticipated that a similar lata awaited lh firmer.

His wife, who is charged 'with being an accomplice, is very sick, and was lefv at home, with two constables to look after her.

The Ca"k oe Mrs. Gaines A Nrw Claimant. The case of Mr.. Gaines is now mi trial at New Orleans. A new claimant has appeared Pr the immense property involved in the ui The Delta says: This new claimant is Mrs. Caroline Birnes. who claims to bo the daughter of Daniel Clark by Zulime Carriere, an elder sister of Mrs. Games. Mrs. Barnes rests her ,rcteasions upon the allegation that Daniel Clark acknowledged in his life time that said Caroline was his daughter that 6uch acki.owledg mnt is contained in letters to Daniel Cox, of Philadelphia, in which Clark states that Zulime Carriere was then enciente by him, and begs that Cox will make the necessary provision for her. The child born is alleged to be the present claimant. Some years after her birth, it is averred that Daniel Clark married Zulime. and thereby legitimated the petitioner as his lawful daughter and forced heir. Myra (Mrs. Gaines) was not born for six yersrs after. The present claimant avails herself of all the proofs collected by Mrs. Gaine?, t establish th marriage of Daniel Clark and Zulime Carriee, and ehe relies upon Clark's own letters to prove that she is his issue. 03" The Whigs of Kentucky, before the election f members to the State Convention, were loud in their advocacy of all the reforms contended for by the Democracy. Like the Whigs of this State, they "out-Heroded" the Democrats, and were as hui! in their pro ession of attachment to the rights of the "dear people." Lately, it has been announced in the Louisville papers that, "contrary to former expectations, it is believed that a very strong and determined effort will be made to defeat the new constitution of Kentucky. The old hunkers and officeholders are against it." Madison Courier. EVANSVILLE AND VlNCENSES RAILROAD.

The Naumkeag Steam Cotton Company, which does business at Salem, Mass., during the year I34D divided a profit of eight per cent, on in capital, laid aside $19.500 for what is called f "reserved fund," and paid $28,000 f r new machinery, &c.
