made 10 tbe7regh iSbetueen thit city and Philade-
pha, By The nsr0dnbtion 1f the Erickson boats. It
says
such boat would literally coin money BY
carrying aoQr FROM llarper's Ferry 70 the Dis
trict a t0eents per barrel which with The tolls
would be made below The nresenl rates on the
Baltimore road. Passengers could BE- taken Al
one dollar each, and reach even Baltimore, BY
The way Of the District, al an expense not FAR
from the present direct foriei whilst returning
freights eould be shipped by The way 81 Alexan.
dfis al less than present direct charge ON the
railroad, But there issa cons Iteration IN this
canal route Of high moment A new market il
a few months will DO opened at alexandria, and
through that piassthe New York market will
invite our trade. The difference between the
expense Of selling barrel Of aour il Baltimore
or New York is very immaterial, whilst the diff
ference in price is nfaterial The real fact Is
believed 10 be, that the hour which passes over
our road is either shipped from Baltimore 10 Nj
York or purchased in Baltimore BIZ New York
