there should be- II communication between the
two places. He was, therefore, IN favor Of
that part of the bill.
| Mr.. ELLIorr said, that h. was not surprised
mat gentlemen who came from a part of the
country where roads We're mad. in a very diff
ierent manner, should think the sum men
TONED IN Tins bill too small for the eontem-
plated purpose. La that part of the country
where the roads must be rendered perfectly
haru' 3" as To secure them iroiS the operation
oi the frost, the expense would, undoubtedly,
be much greater. But, in the SECTION where
'his road Is To be located, all that is done is Tn
zen the trees, and rxcavate bitches by the
side of the road. There is M need OF any
great quantity 0f material. He believed ten
Thousand dollars would be sufficient to fell the
lumber, aud lay out the road. The most inn
por'hnt difficulty is the swamps through
which the road must pass the timber is relied
M" Them, AS II Is cut down, and the mud i,
nli-d IN iro-e the bitches. These are our roads
hhity are not like thnst in the North and
hence, they do not COS, as much money. He
! believed that twenty thousand dnllars, with
'h- services of the military, would he amply
SUFFICIENT. With regard To the SURVEYS lea br
made, Tor the other roads, the pop,Ilation of
'he. country would he greatly facilitated by

tu"i'lrs for an army to pass with ccleriiy.-I
hr. T.. thought II absolutely necessary for the
wtii"Ie "t that part of the country, that this

faculties for Investigating the country, aud

be agreed 10.
Alr. JACKSON said he had himself marched
t''r"nBh considerable part of that Territory,
a"d was enabled To open roads, AT the rate Of
twenty mics day. Han army was able 10
lprn road al that rate ID. belle, r,I that
- 10000 would be a sufficient sum fur this
purpose. He had M dunbt that il would be-
