STEAM BOAT ON THE CANAL.

During the latter par, Of the past weak. mum.
Der Of our citizens were very much delighted with
excursions on the water Of the Schuyk in small
STEAM BOAT, with an engine Of one horse pow
er, owned and brought hither by Mr.. Robert H.
Parrish, OF Phlsdelphis, merely as an experiment.
intended TO convince the sceptcal Of the practical
bility Of navigating the canal by steam power. 1t
completely succeeded. No who has witnes
sed its performance doubts in the least but that
it ia preferable to the common method Of towing a
boat by horses inasmuch as i. goes third faster,
is less injurious to the banks, attended with less
pense in travelling, and is more humane to those
who dislike Witnessing the abuse Of that noble ami.
NAL, the horse. The propellng Wheel with per-
pendicular buckets, IS placed Immediately in the
stern, the steam being conveyed by pipe, 10 the
apparatus connected with it, and the whole ma
chinery is remarkably simple in its contradictions
On Saturday last, we were one OF eight passengers

Chesanenke and Ohio CannZ

At meeting of the COMMISSIONERS OF THE
CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL, in the City Of
Washington, on the 29th June, 1926, present,
on the part of the United States, Messrs. SAMU-
Ell HI. SMITH, ANTHONY G. CAzENovE, and Gle
MExT SMITH; from Maryland, Messrs SAMUEL
SpRIGG, FRIsgY TILGHMAN, and PHILIP +. l Ho-
MAS; from Virginia, Messsrs. R. H, HENDER-
SON, and JOHN G. HUNrER-SAMuEL II. SMITH,
ESQ being called 10 the Chair, and G. SMITH
appointed Secretary, the following preamble
and resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, from the surveys and estimates OF
the Board of Engineers OF the United States, so
far as they have been made and are known to
this BODY, the scale on which it is contemplated
to make the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, is
! greatly beyond thai proposed in the act of Vir-
ginia, and appears to be fixed with view to
| national objects; and whereas the accomplish
ment of so great work may require an union
! of national and individual resources
! Resoiued, AS the sense of this meeting, that no
step ought to be aiken that may, in any wise,
have the effect of prematurely determining the
dimensions of the Canal, or its route, until the
Government Of the United States shall have
had a full opportunity of deciding the degree OF
aid it will give the object, and the terms on
which il will be given
| Reso!ced, That to open books of subscription
to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, at this
time, might have this effect, inasmuch as, Under
the act aforesaid, as sanctioned by Maryland,
after the books Of subscription are once opened,
limited periods are prescribed for the organi-
cation Of the Company, and for the commence
ment and completion Of the Canal; some Of
which steps it might be necessary to take be
fore sufficient time had been afforded Congress
maturely to form their Judgment on the sub
ject, which judgment must have great weighl
in regulating the mode in which the work is to
be effected,
RESOLVED, Therefore, on these accounts, al
though the Commissioners are convinced thai
an ardent desire extensively prevails among
their fellow-citizens to accomplish without de-
lay, this important object, connected with an
alaority to embark in II literally their private
resources, that it is not expedient at present o
open books OF subscription
Resolced, That the Chairman be instructed &c
call upon the Secretary of War, aud respectful
