NTis1ake Corrected.

In our remarks yesterday on the subject OF
the Canal, we perceive by further examina-
ton of the Report of the Board of Trustees
made to the Legislature at Its last session,
we were in error in making the statement
that the portion of the Canal yet to be put
under contract was that between Maysvile
and Pigeon Dam. Pigeon Dam, it will be
recollected, is the point of termination Of the
Canal already made from this place. The
portion yet to be put under contract. is not
that from MaysviIe to Pigeon Dam, but from
point fifteen miles this side Last Novem-
Der reach of fifteen miles this side of Mays
vile was let. The remainder contemplated
to be let in June, which finishes all the let
tings, is a distance of thirty-fve miles, making
the distance to Maysvle fifty miles. So ii
will be seen, as we stated yesterday, that
there are only thirty-fve miles of this splen-
did Canal not under contract and worked and
nearly completed. The error was in stating
it to be from Maysvie to Pigeon Dam.
When we consider that this Canal is the
longest in the limited States-that it connects
the Lakes with the Ohio river at a point
