written letter to the Governor nf that
Commonwealth, on the state Of things in
the South. and particularly on the subject Of
a Southern CunltderAcy, so warmly adro

animation of the AChafalaya, one of the subjects
brought to the particular attention of the Commits

gentlemen, was the practicability of a lowwater
steamboat route from Butte la Rose, or the Park,
to Pattersonville-less dangerous and much shorter
than the usual route by Grand River, Bayous Sor

of the route proposed were admitted by every
member of the commission, after taking careful
soundings and minute examination with regard to
snags and other channel distractions.

thence twelve miles to Grand Lake about two
