much company, and The other springs
am told are much crowded. 1t would be
money well bestowed, would the public
employ well educated, and experienced
physician to attend at each of the mydi-
cnal springs, TO observe, record, and
publish The cases which receive benefit,
those receiving none, and those rendered
worse by the use Of their respective wa
tels, whose Office too il should be to adj
minister advice TO the poorer sick gratis.
The medical effects oftiie different springs
are now so little known, that they are

PETERsRrRa. Sept. Q.

lin conformity with previous notice, the
Citizens of Petersburg met at the town
court house on Friday evening last, TO
takeinto consideration what measures are
necessary TO be adopted for eifeciing a
water communication between the Apo
mattOx and Roanoke rivers The meet
iiIg was full and respectable. Various
plans were suggested, to ciIectihc desra-
ble object and after considerable dis
cussion, the subject was unanimously re-
ferred TO the Common Hall, with an as
Surance, that the people would sanction
and support such measures as the Hail
might adopt, touching this important
subject.
SO far, so well. The subject is at length
fairly before the public. The practicable
lily of the scheme is universally aclnow-
lodged. It's advantages are as apparent
as the noon-day sun.
The groundwork being thus laid, we
must so on. The constituted aulhori-
lies, we feel assured, will do whatever is
III their power. They only require the
mems TO affect much. Those means are
at hand, and viii be employed with dis
erection.
Already our Csroliniau neighbors are
beslrring Themselves. They arc for di-
vc.tng lie commerce and wealth Of The
Roanoke into ncw channel. They are
for connecting it with the Tar river, by
neaas Of Il canal, and thus mOnopolizing
The whole Of The trade Of That river, and
It's tributary streams passing through the
territory of that state, and also d conside-
Table portion oftIie wealth and COM
merce Of Virginia. Let them 20 on
Opposition exciies emulation. Emulate
OH produces enterprise: And works Of
Importance can only be effected, when
the enterprising spirit Of the people is
EJused.
We repealed ms 60 on. Every step
we advance, is adding 20 the prosperity
Petersburg. Every enquiry we ma ke,
every fact We elicit Oh this Interesting
subject, every plan sc suggest conir-
butes to or advancement. ID is only by
negligence and slolh, Chat we shall remain
stationary perhaps may even Teiscgrade
from our present importance.
Once mOre--lct us go on.
