that one Of the obstacles, just
above Augusta, has been overcome by The
,anal recently finished; and it is thought,
IS there are but few remaining which are
serious, that they may besremoyed with

We are informed, that a meeting is pro-
posed to be held in what is called the
Calhoun settlements" in Abbeville dis
rict, on or abou, the 4th OF July, for the
purpose Of taking the matter in!o consde'
.a,ion, and determining on the measures

ian be effected by any thing like the
amount Of money we have heard suggest

enlion Of both sides of the river from Au-

/ would greatly lessen The expense of
getting their produce, losmarket, aud The
lime required for conveying it.
There is no doubt, thatslhe river affords
