NAVIGATION OF PEARL RIVER. Among the vari-
Gus important matters which will occupy the time
and attention OF next Legislature, hope that
navigation OF the Pearl river will not be overlooked
subject in which great portion OF the state Of
Mississippi Is deeply interested and person who
acquainted with the condition OF that river will all
doubt the prscticaby OF making it navgablc at least
Tor hat boats and kees and perhaps small steamboats,
good portion OF the year for hundred miles above
Jackson great many persons carry their cotton down
inc fearl IN hat boats from opposite Philadelphia Ne
shoba county aud keels have been TO ard from
Jackson, from the point with some success; ana Il
our Legislature would appropriate few thousand dol.
lars Tor the purpose OF opening this river believe
would be money well applied, and would advance the
interest OF avery large portion of the citizens of East
mississippi We learn that tho hands employed by the
state OF Louisiana have succeeded in removing the OBJ
structohs from the West Pearl Pass make that
portion OF the river safe navigation for steamboats, Of
the largest class We hope members to the Logis.
