The Pennsylvania Canal is progressing regular
~, and in many parts presents grand and beautl
full sight to the behoder. We are sorry, however
osay that the section of the Pennsylvania Canal
from Clark's Ferry TO Middletown, will not be Il
.opcration this Fall, whatever wishes the mana
gers and contractors may have had concerning tn
completion of this part Of the work. The obstacle
in the way have been so great that 1t Will be lmpos
| sble to finish this season.
The public works now under contract in the Un
| ted States are so numerous, that the demand Il
workmen is great, and two thirds of those along tt
| Juniata, and on the Susquehannah, below Clark
! Fcrry suffered much with the prevailing fever
! the season; many of them died, and others fled,
soon as they were able to remove. These facts co
! sdered, it appears reasonable to suppose that Il
Legislature of Pennsylvania will act with pare
tai hand towards those contractors, who have m
disappointment after disappointment, and are nj
unable to fulfil their engagements.
II We cannot dismiss this subject. without remaI
ing that the most difficult part of the work lis CO
X pleted, in manner highly creditable to the und
takers.
On Saturday next, part of the Canal, from M
q dletown, in this county, to Columbia, in Lancas
\ county, will be put under contract We und
N stand that the rocky and most difficult parts will
