BLACK Rock, Jusg &c.

BLACK ROCK, JUNE 20.
Erie Canai--deep calling through the
Rock Of Loekport.--It IS impossible for
the traveller to leave Lockport conien-
teddy without again and again viewing
the Locks and the surrounding scenery,
and, il the magnificent prospect charms
him, he is no less filled with wonder
aud astonishment when he proceeds
westward and views the deep cutting
through the solid rock for the space of
three miles, forty feet wide, and from
twenty to thirty feet deep.
This was, indeed, a Herciileane task,
and required not only industry and per-
severance, but also called fourth the
ingenuity Of the rofkmen. in order to
remove the vast quantities Of stone out
OF the way. This was done generally
BY large cranes worked By horses, by
which the stones were hoissed and de-
positedin large heaps On the banks d
tie Canal. Pumps to remove the wa
ter out of the beds Of the Canal, were
also necessary, and they, too, were
worked by horses.
After passing the rocky ridge, the
Canal goes on to Tonnewanto Creek,
and from Lockport TO that place, dis
lance of about seven miles, we pro-
ceeded by land along the bank of the
Canal. The number Of cabins or shan
tees, which we passed, inhabited by the
workmen, gives the whole route the APP
pearance OF rude village. And here
many an industrious son of Elm has
met his fate and ended his earthly Ia
bors, and, although there is more glory
attached to the warrior, these deserve
to be remembered as having fallen ia
great and good cause.
We embarked on board the packet
boat at the little village of PendIefon.
and entered the Tonnewanto, large
and beautiful stream, along which
towing path has been made; il is sulii-
ciently large for steam boats for ten or
