THE EXTRACT.
During the late war Got 1856, on the
Ohio, most oil the heavy commodities were
landed from England, at Georgetown, on
Potomac, sent then in Wagons to ConOse-
cheig, there embarked in canoes, and Ian
ded at Fort Cumberland-from thence to
! Monongahels, at the mouth of Redstone
creek, and then to Pittsburgh. The dis
lance from Cumberland e Redstone creek,
j, IS miles, performed in 3 days, each
wagon, with two horses, carrying g cwt.
and allowed 9 shillngs per day. Ii was
afterwards known that COCA Wagon road
might be made from Fort Cumberland to a
branch of the Youghionesny, of not more
than 40 miles The garrison oi Piltsburs h
received large supplies of provisions from
| the S. branch of Potomac, hy a Wagon
4, road through the mountains to Cheat river,
SO miles above Redstone creek, and thence
they went Ivy water to Pittsburgh. The
distance from the 5. branch OF the Potomac
is only 20 mics.
Mr. John Ralemene has proved that for
less than 10000 pounds locks might be
formed al the Potomac and James river
Ialls, so that large barges might navigate
both streams.
