J The completion of the .Suez Canal will np- j parently solve the problem which puzzled the ' European navigators for many centuries, and at last furnish the short passage to the Indies 1 whioh Columbus strove in vain to discover. ! after one of the mightiest nations on the globe ; has been created in the New World which he found peopled by savages. It remains to be Been whether the enterprise will prove, in all ! respeots, an industrial and financial success. : Although this is highly probable, yet, in this practical age, men prefer to await tangible and fully-attested results before they render a final and comprehensive judgment on any ! novel project. It is difficult, if not impos- sible, to assign limits to the capabilities of j modern engineers. Give them men and j , money enough, and they can not only dig ship canals, but remove mountains and con- I struct edifices far more gigantic and impos- I ing than the famed Egyptian pyramids. The real question at issue is, whether the new ship canal will prove a paying investment, and whether its utility, as measured in dol lars and cents, will afi'ord a remunerative re compense for the labor and expenditure in volved in its construction and repair. The boat canals, especially in northern latitudes, baye been superseded by railroads to such an extent, that even the great Erie Canal of New York, although sustained by continued State appropriations, is barely able to com pete, during the summer months, with the railway lines, and the ordinary canal stocks are among the poorest of modern invest ments. It is possible, however, that the suc cess of the most gigantic artificial water communication ever constructed may react favorably upon some of the boat canals by suggesting methods for their improvement, and that the triumph of M. Lesseps, at Suez, may not only insure the construction of an interoceanic canal between the Atlantic and t he Pacific, but give a new impetus to the various important internal canal projects now under consideration in the United .States and other countries. The commercial advantages of the Suez Canal, although very great, inayj be over estimated. It will shorten the length of voyages, and thus save the interest on cargoes, the wear and tear of ships, the cost of freight, and the wages and time of crews, but when these savings are milled up, me sum total is, after all, not strikingly impressive in these times of huge financial aggregates, for the reason that when a sailing vessel is fairly started on what is at best a long and tedious voyage, no .very great expenditure is involved in its prolongation for a few weeks or even a few months. There is, however, an ample margin for profit if the Suez Canal permanent ly realizes the expectations of its projectors, and ship-owners can well afi'ord to pay theiu a large percentage on the cost of their work, if they practically abrogate the tedious route around Cape Horn. The American merchants of the Atlantic coast will share the advantages of the new improvement with the Europeans. They, too, will find their shortest sea route to Cal cutta and Canton by the Suez Canal until a similar work is completed on the Isthmus of Darien. But, meanwhile, California and Oregon will remain the most convenient ave nues of communication between the eastern coast of Asia and a civilized and friendly people. No triumph of modern engineering can neutralize the great natural advantage connected with the western frontier of our ocean-bound republic, and every year of pro gress will add immensely to the utilization of this superiority. In spite of all that France or England can do, San Francisco can still trade more advantageously with China and Japan than Marseilles or Liverpool, and, in a national point of view, it matters but little in what section of our wide domain the im- " mediate profits of Asiatic commerce are realized. , The jealous hostility displayed by Great Britain to the early movements of M. Lesseps shows how much she dreads the proximity of another powerful rival in her Hoantic schemes of Asiatic aggrandizement and aggression. The new canal will greatly diminish the former diuieulties in the way of v a prompt despatch ot French fleets and French armies to the coast of Southern or .' Eastern Asia. Already the advancing lines of ' Russian absorption closely appioach the Eng- 1 lish outposts, and the day may not, Le far dis tant when trance, too, win nee, to sway vast districts of territory and countless hor(los of bumaa beings on Asiatic soil. If Napeon III. or his successors, choose to embark m . such an undertaking, the aid furnished by M. Lesseps will prove invaluable. It will dimin ish the risk, dangers, and difficulties a hun dred fold, and this single fact may work ' changes in the destiny of a large portion of mankind which will outweigh in importance the prospective commercial results of tho now ' improvement TIIE REMOVAL OF THE NATIONAL CAHTAL. Fob a number of years past the probabilities of the ultimate removal of the national capi tal from Washington to some point more near the geographical centre of the continent have been discussed without any very serious thought being bestowed upon the subject. During the past summer, howovor, St. Louis and other presumably eligible localities, for want of something more important to agitato themselves overj have managed to get up an excitement in a small way by discussing the expediency and propriety of such a removal. As a matter of course, the people of tho Mis sissippi Valley are all of one mind as to the propriety of locating the capital somewhere between the Alloghenies and the Rocky Mountains, the Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. The only trouble is. that each city and town, every settlement of half-a-dozen shanties, and every tract of land upon which it is hoped that a city may sometime be built, considers that it is the one locality that combines all the essentials of a first-class position fur the desired purpose. This subject has excited but little or no interest east of the Allegheny Mountain, except in the city of Washington, which hai been thrown into a sort of agony of foar at the very idea of withdrawing from it the public patronage by which it lives. Tho in eligibility of Washington, on many accounts, as a site for the national capital is generally admitted; and if a choice was to be made at this day, it is very certain that it would not be the spot selected. Tho citizens of Wash ington know this perfectly well, and hence their tribulation. To the majority of the nation, however, the objections urged against Washington are not of so much importance as to warrant the expense and trouble of a removal, and the probabilities are that tho dome of the Capitol will overlook the broad Potomac for many generations to come. To make assurance doubly sure, however, the right of Congress to order a removal of the seat of government is to be tested. It is argued that the Government having accepted the District of Columbia from the States of Maryland and Virginia, under a provision of the Constitution, it cannot cede it back again to them without an amendment of the Constitution. But Congress has already ceded back to Virginia that portion of the District sou'.h of the Potomac, and the right to do so has never yet been questioned. Those opposed, however, to the removal of the capital are going to bring this np as a test case by disputing the right of Mr. Mackenzie, the lately elected member of Con gress from Alexandria, to sit as a Representa tive from Virginia. We have no doubt that the unconstitutionality of the retrocession of the southern section of the District of Colum bia will be proved if it is made a test ques tion; and we are glad that, it is likely to come up. as it will be an easy way of putting a quietus on the agitation that is going on about removing the seut of government to St. Louis or some other place in tho far West. TOIU'EbOKS jt'uit COAST J)EF.ENSE. DuitiNfi the Rebollion torpedoes were largely used by the Rebels for river and harbor de fense, and, as is well known, oftentimes with terrible effect. These engines of destruction were much denounced by those who took more of a humanitarian than a military view of their performances, but military and naval men were quick to see their importance for both offensive and defensive warfare, and before the close of the Rebellion they, were introduced in our own operations, and their efficiency sufficiently demonstrated. The Rebel torpedoes were generally very crude affairs, although some of them displayed considerable ingenuity in the arrangements for exploding theui. but owing to their im perfect construction and the want of skill in these operating them, it is probable that not one of five hundred ttver produced any effect, and those that did explode often destroyed friend as well as enemy. In our service seve ral ingenious machines were invented, and much attention was given by military ana naval r.-.en to the consideration of this new element in warfare for the torpedo will practically be a new element, as it has never been used to any great extent before the Re bellion, and it has never been brought to such a state of perfection as to make it an object for serious consideration either as an offensive or defensive weapon. In the navy a regular torpedo corps has been organized under the orders of the Ord nance Bureau, and it has been placed under the command of Lieutenant-Commander Mathews, an intelligent officer, who has be stowed much study upon the subject of con structing and operating torpedoes. This corps is now operating in Newport harbor, and the Navy Department has taken measures to have all the officers of the navy duly in structed in torpedo practice. This is an im portant move in the right direction, and there is very little doubt that a high degree of effi ciency will be reached in a short time, so t'aat the approaches to our harbors can be made nearly impassable by any hostile force, and that too at a comparatively small expense. The Secretary of War, it is reported, has directed the organization of a similar corps in the army, so that both branches of the military service can co-operate. Terrible as uru torpedoes, they are no more cruel than other instruments of warfare, and they are just as legitimate for tho purpose of crippling an enemy as any of the military en gincs now in use. If we must have war, we must have all the means we can command for carrying it on, only avoiding us far as po.sible unnecessary cruelty, and tho use of torpedoes forms such an effectual means of dt feuso that we are glad the navy and army have entered with spirit upon the task of bringing theui up to the highest standard of eftbiency. 3777 NATIONAL HANKING SYSTEM. Amuno the measures which will probably in I gage the attention of Congress at the ap- i proach'iQg schhiou, those connected with the financial mj monetary interests of the na'iou , will attract the deepest iutoie.4. While th public debt is being paid off with unexpected and unexampled rapidity, and while the re sumption of specie payments at no distant period is confidently predicted, the pecuniary necessities of ' tho people must be remem bered, and it is especially desirable that pro per provision be made for the increased de mand for a circulating medium whioh has arisen from the progress and prosperity of the South , an J West. ThiB is important, not only to the districts referred to, but as a precautionary measure for the re lief of the established financial centres. While the business of tho country has in creased immensely since the beginning of the war, and enhanced prices have added to tho demand for lurge amounts of money for the management of industrial affairs, the circu lating medium is scarcely a whit larger now than it was ton years ago. Then, in addition to humheds of millions of gold and silver which passed freely from hand to hand, there was a large bank note circula tion, which whs increased, by State action, in every locality which required increased bank ing facilities. In tho present condition of affairs the use of gold and silver as money has entirely ceased; and the immediate benefits of tho national banking system are confined almost exclusively to the Eastern and Middle States, leaving the South and West in an extremely desti tute financial condition. The result iu lltaf tliflr iflflllxf I'lill .innraf innu arA vn stautly impeded, and when their crop.1 are to ! be moved, such an excessive drain is made upon Philadelphia, New York, and New England, that an unnutural and injurious dearth is pro duced in our own money markets. The na tional banking system has worked wonderfully well, but it cannot continue to supply all the wonts of a progressive people unless arrange ments are speedily made for a liberal exten sion of its benefits. There is no good cause for alarm in pros pective resumption, and no reason to fear that the burden of tho national dobt will be come unduly oppressive, but it is imperatively necessary that the increase of financial facilities should keep pace with the increase of the varied and won derfully extensive business transactions of the Republic. If tho Government attonds properly to its duties connected with this sub ject, tho people w:.U not only keep it supplied with funds, but insure their own prosperity and ward off dangerous panics.

Moanwhilo, however, the superiority of American soil for cotton cul ture has been demonstrated in the most im pressive manner, and the fact is now better attested than ever before that those who suc cessfully prosecute this important branch of American industry will ensure munificent re wards for their, labor.
