Observation-Disclosures

LEXINGTON, (Ya.) Oct - Capt. M'Neil,
with his corps OF Typographical Engineers, passed
through this place Tuesday last, on his return
from an exploring expedition directed by the Sc
cretary at War, with a view to ascertain the prac-
ticability of uniting the Eastern and Western wa
ters by means of continued canal from the Jack
son 10 the Great Kenawha rivers.
We understand that he has pronounced con-
tinued water communication between these rivers
practicable; aud VIII probably report 10 the en-
suing Congress the result of this laboIious examina-
ton. Several surveys made n,ersecting the
Allegheny mountlin at differ ent gaps; the result of
vi ich is that that portion OF the mountain known
by the name OF Crows Gap, forms the greatest de-
preston From this Gap, level line was run at
tue distance OF 35 miles, meeting Greenbrier river
near lis passage through the Droop mountain. The
rver is here considered amply Sufficient for a
teeler supplying anal at the summit level in the
Aheghany. The summit level at this point in the
Allegheny is 200 feet above the level OF Duniap 5
Creek, and may probably require tunnel OF two
o. tlree miles.
From Moo,e's and Briggs Report, the mouth
Of Duslaps Creek is 1898 feet above the surface
Of the ocean, con eGYeItly tile summit level as
slmedby Capt. Mcneil 1888 Zee, sboye the ocean.
From the same Report, the mouth of How ard :
Creek Is 1910 ,eet above the oceaa: hsI eiore the

The Surveyors il is added have been sent back

zeue, abusing Mr.. Cook, OF illinois, for
his vote IN the House OF Representative
on the last Presidential election, was IT,
published ina paper oil this city last week.
Ii states that Mr.. Cook violated a pledge
10 his constituents, in not voting Tor Gen.
Jackson. This Is not true. Mr.. Cook
was publicly called upon 70 declare Tor
whom he would vote, in the event OF the
election deyolYing upon the House Of
Representatives. He answered, that al.
though individually he had decided
preference among the several candidates,
ii a clearly eThreSsed majority OF the
votes OF the people OF the state were in
favor Of another, he should feel himself
bound to vote for that one. Neither oil
the candidates having that majority, he
was left 10 follow the dictates OF his own
Judgment in the choice to be made. Al
though majority OF the electors chosen
were for the General, more than TWO
thirds of the votes given in the state for
all the candidates, were against him.
