CHEsAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL
We are gratified 10 learn that this great
work is 10 rapid progress, and thst the
labor on II has greatly increased, there
being at this time nearly four thousand
persons employed. With the new con.
tracts recently entered into by the
Board for the difficult sections between
Cacapon and Cumberland, still fur.
Their increase Of labor may be expect.
ed. The heavy works between those
points, being the tunnel and deep cut
at Old Town, which, with prudent fore.
cast, the Board placed under contract
more than a year past, are progressing
with such spirit as TO Justify the belief
that they will be completed as soon as
the other works on the upper line OF
the canal.
In addition TO the inexhaustible sour.
ces Of wealth to 30 brought into action
on the completion Of the cunal TO Cum.
berland by the transportation of the
iron and bituminous coal OF that vast
mineral region, new resources of meal
culable value are being developed by
the discovery of probably the most ex.
tensive deposte Of anthracite coal ye,
known in this country. 1t is situated
we understand, on Sleepy creek, Nor.
gan county, Virginia, and is within five
or six miles of the canal, to which there
may be easy access by a railroad
which we learn is already in progress.
Sleepy creek is about fifteen miles be-.
low the Cacapon, to which point the
canal will be completed during the mex
spring-thus offering every facility fol
transportation of this coal to market
and vast accession to the trade anC
revenue of the canal.
A company, with capital oe half G
million of dollars, has been incorpora
ted by the State of Virginia, and have
commenced operations with great spi
rit.
Although the progress of the cana
has been slow, owing to the many dif
fculties it has encountered, yet its com.

In regard to this long and protrac.

chaos OF uncertainty. The Comman.
ding General is still in the upper part
of the nation, and has had "talks" with
the Chiefs, but what the result will be.
is not known. Some think that there
will be no fighting and that the Indians
will come in this fall, while others
think directly the reverse. Times now
are Notwithstanding is not con-
sldered dangerous, and the mail riders
pass through the country without being
molested: yet some gangs of these
marauders are lowering around us.
Two nights ago they stole seventeen
horses and mules, and last night they
stole two horses. This was done not

and, although the sentinels fired upon
them and party of mounted men sent
after them, they could not be overta.
