CIos;D0 of the Canal at Richmond

Closing of the Canal at Richmond.
yHyHE Board of Directors Of the James River and
a Kanawha Company having placed the reconstruc.
ton of the lower level OF the old canal near Richmond,
for the most part under contract and having, at their
late meeting ascertaned that the force employed upon
ha, work cannot be kept in operation later than the 18th
of March, without drawing The water from the canal,
directed notice TO be given to the public that the water
would be drawn off about that date and that 1t might
be found necessary for this to be done few days earlier
but that the intention OF the Board to AVOID inter
~ n,ing the navigation until The condition Of the work
should render the measure Indispensable and to operate
with such force that the interruption should cease al
the earliest day practicable.
II heinz further ascertaned that, in the mean time,
fegh can be received and discharged with greater con-
yenience at Westham, on The James river than atnny
oant lower down. that place has been fixed upon for the
termination OF the river gatlon-As soon therefore,
as The water is drawn from the Lower Level as above
mentioned the navigation will be closed from "eslham
TO Richmond.

SIR
Ihave read with good dealof interest, Sc
veral letters that have recently appeared in
the Columbus Democrat, under the signature
of "An Observer" calling the attention of
the people to the condition of our currency,
its causes and efFects,-and suggesting the
propriety of calling public meeting, to take
the subject into consideration. This calI,I am
glad to see, is responded to from all parts of
ire country that have heard from, and with
on, any distinction of party. This is as it
SHOULD be-such meeting, viii have, trust,
a very good effect in checking the alleged a.
buses of CT artered banks, and give those who
NAV plead ..z. IT guilty. an opportunity of sus-
tanning the plea ~ giving to the public an ex-
position of their an rs, and thereby allay pub
lie feeling now so muG,E against them. Let
none say they donot feel interested enough in
sucha meeting as to induce them to attend
it-sucb persons deceive them, 'elVes by argu-
ing so, for all who handle bank Ia 9tes are IN
U6reSLeu Inc CudIdCC0E anu SO4FCI1 :
banks that issue them! The conditio n OF the
currency of this State is alarming enousTh TO
rouse the attention Of every man who ?. re-
tends any concern for the public welfare. Ap :
pearances justify suspicion, and when the
prosperity of aState is at stake, suspicion is a
Just ground for enquiry. Let us, therefore,
enter into this investigation with candor and
decency. Respect is due to the station Of
the gentlemen who have control of the banks,
and if resolution must be at last taken
there is none so likely to be supported with
frmness, as that which has been adopted with
moderation.
/ therefore trust that the gentlemen con-
nected with banks, win not attempt Gas is re-
ported they intend TO do) to prevent the OBJ
ject Of the meeting, by either raising noise
about the Indebtedness Of certain individuals
to their banks, or by trying to change it into a
political meeting. would advise them as a
friend not to attempt ether, for if they do
4 they win be foled in the attempt, and it vii
do any thing but aIlay public feeling. AL oul
neighbors win attend the meeting prepared t
resist any attempt to change It's character AMI
object; they agree with me, that there is NJ
way now left for checking the abuses Of on
present banking system, but by calm am
firm expression Of public sentiment.
