There is "a barge now at one Of the

she was discharged, or partly discharg-
ed. From New Orleans, she pro

small load, consisting of bacon, princi

feet, amid ships, over which thin,
slight roof is erected, supported by
Sanctions or posts, about five feet

A few years ago, intelligent men
would have been as likely TO believe
that canal would be cut along the AL
leghany ridge, and supplied with ram

and lakes, to float barges upon, as that
flour and bacon should be brought to
Mobile, all the a0ay By aoater, from

have been worked within few years,
IN the way of steampower, canals, &c.
that there is some probability of our
being enabled, ere long to make pas
sages from the Mexican gulf, along
the Atlantic coast to New England,
IN steam boats, and return by way of
the western states in the same vessels
we start in, without being subjected
to a!single mile Of jolting.
La a caucus of the New York legis-
la;ure, Mr. Birdseyc submitted for
consideration at a future meeting, a res

moved from the Office of Canal Com

can injure its authors only. They
must destroy the canal itself before
