FROM THE CANAL'sURvEYORs.
Ertract of Letter to the Editors from a gen.
tieman attached to Shriper's Brigade.
Camp Clay, near Smithfeld, June2
DEAR SIRs: l did myself the plea
sure a few days ago ofwriting you from
the "Bear Dens," and shall continue
occasionally to drop you line inform
ing you ofour movements and progress.
We have just completed all the exam
nations from the summit level to this
point, and shall now proceed with two
lines Of survey directly to Pittsburg,
to which place, as we shall now have
much less difficult ground, we expect
to be enabled to prosecute our explora-
tons in good time.
1t will be gratifying to you to learn
that every thing so far appears quite
favorable to the grand project under
consideration, and especially when you
recollect that we have now got over by
far the most difficult section. The
country between the summit level and
the mouth of Bear Creek, is COM
plication Of mountain and valley, hill
and hollow, exhibiting system of an
almost incomprehensible character,and
presenting, to mere superficial inves-
tigator, difficulties and obstacles of a
serious cast, and in many instances Of
an apparently ipsuperable nature; but
it is found, upon the application Of in
struments, that they are only appar-
ent and not real difficulties, and that,
instead Of its being so very complex,
it is all simple and easily understood
Nature has done every thing right,
and, as it would seem, with some de-
terminate object in view. In the con-
formation Of this mountainous district,
she has left more than one route, and
ample room in each instance along
which to conduct canal, and has at
the same time afforded the greatest
possible opportunities for the construc-
ton of innumerable ponds and reser-
voirs to supply such work, in the e.
vent Of the immediate streams, along
which the canal would pass, proving
inadequate for that purpose.
The last few days have been very
rainy, and the waters are now high
We have gagged most of the streams
which are mainly relied on as feeders
to the summit level, in order to ascer-
tain their probable maximum expense
Their quantities together will amount
to large sum-.
The Youghiogeny is found to dis.
charge just now, at this place, 800 Gu
bic yards per second. Two-thirds, at
least, of this quantity is furnished BY
Deep Creek, the Little Youghiogeny,
and such parts of the great Youghio-
geny as lie sufficiently elevated TO be
used on the summit. During such
freshets as the present, and they occur
three or four times year, it would be
very perplexing and difficult matter
to dispose of the surplus waters. I,
would astonish you to see to what a
degree the valley, through which Deep
Creek flows, is now inundated, and how
long that stream remains invigorated
by few slight rains.
l remain yours, Sc
