The James Rirer Canal ana its Prospects.


3 We understand that the President and Dire ctors
reconnoitred the Canal near tins Cry ON Friday ,s
that they are urging lis consummaton that they
are striving TO open ii by the lst Of December We
may calculate with some degree of confidence
that they will open it from the LIST 10 the 18th Of the
month. We are aware, thai the delay which
has taken place in the accomplishment of this noble
work. has seriously Injured the interests and provok
Ell the resentment OF many of the respectable man
uiacturers, whose establishments have been suspend
ed by the Withdrawal of the water.
Various complaints have been urged against the
President, Directors, Engineers, &c, on This work
and we respectfully think unjusily. We ought to
consider the great labor of exeavating Canal which
was 10 many cases TO be cut out Of solid garanite-
we ought TO consider how much this obstacle
alone, would have delayed the work, as well as de-
seafed the sanguine calculations or the ANXIOUS pre-
dictions Of the President anj Directors. We must
estimate. the vast quantity Of earth which has been
excavated; Of walls that have been built and of the
granite rock Which to have been blasted On
looking to these elements alone ARE almost inclined To
believe that the workncn who were to be emDloyed
pu such iahors. should have been giants and al.
most sndUed WITH the ihews aud sinews of Hercules,
be rock not being in regular stratc wa, so ron.
