The estimate Of the Committee, founded on
the report Of the United States Engineers, on
the numerous fact, collec ted by the Washington
Convention, and the Information Of many mem
Der. of the House of Representatives, allowed
four millions Of dollars for the cost Of the Ca
nal from Georgetown to Cumberland; and the
bill which they reported on the subject prosiG-
ed an additional million in order 10 reach the
Coal Banks of the Potomac upon the Deep
Creek route, should it be found impracicable
to conduct the canal boats into the mines near
Wills Greek, on the more Northern route, a
cross the Allegheny, by Casselman's river
The sum Of four millions was designed TO pro-
vide for every expense on the Canal between
Georgetown and Cumberland, embracing dis
lance Of 1856 miles, and a lockage Of SIS feet
Another million was deemed sufficient 10 ex-
tend this Canal to the mouth OF Savage Creek,
on the North branch Of the Potomac, about
:hirty miles above Cumberland, in which dis
lance fall Of 3l2 feet is to be overcome.
While the Committee enlal &c, by IL fee, 1.-The
breadth Of The Canal, beyond the 4s feet re-
quired by the United States Engineers, where
yer il can be so enlarged by ordinary excava-
ton, or without great additional cost, they re-
duce, as the Convention had done, the estimate
Of those Engineers rather less than one hall,
provided the whole route to Savage be comput-
ed; and rather more than half il he compu-
ta,ion be restricted 10 the part of the Canal be-
low Cumberland.
1t does not come within the scope Of brief
essay to travel over the ground of the estimates
OF the Washington Convention and of the Com
mittee Of Congress. Let it suffice to say, that,
if the Canal between Georgetown and Cumber-
land shall exceed in cost four millions of doll
lars, il will greatly surpass, in the expense of
its construction, any canal, or any considerable

Wilmington, convened on "Wednesday 2Sd
inst. for the purpose of forming Society for
the suppression of Intemperance, Wm. A.
Mendenhall was called to the chair, and
Thomas M'Corklc was appointed Secretary.
The object of the Society being stated, the
following preamble and resolutions were a.
dopted.
When we view, as we now do. with mingled
feelings of pity and regret, that many OF our
fellow creatures, not only in the humble
walks of life, but even those enjoying more
elevated standing in society, both old and
young. have given themselves up to habitu-
al inebriation, by which they are bringing.
and many have already brought, upon them
selves disgrace and ruin, the nober feelings
of our nature resume their empire, and
mourn the deprayity of mankind
Intempcrance, with all its concomitant e.
Wis and miseries, is spreading distress. in
thousand forms, among the inhabitants of
our country-in,ruding itself upon connubial
feicity-on the social circle, and on every
species of domestic bliss and tranquility
shacklng and destroying the most noble
principles of man n-transfcrrins an honest
and virtuous mind to one depraved, vicious,
and neutrality-suspicious. not only power
ty and infamy, but host of morbid alice
tions; and furnishing catalogue of crimes,
which demand retributivc Justice by death.
1t is not cur desire to enter into detailed
view of all the baneful effects prou.lced by
this species of depravity; we would wi'h'
merely, to recount few Of its effects.
Believing that we clearly see the ehscts
which this evil is producing among us, we
feel it to be a DUTY which we owe to our
fellow creatures, to society and to GOD,
when an antidote is placed With" our reach'
to use our best endeavors to obtain it; and by
proper application. arrest intemperance
