Inland Navigation.

In former number Of our journal We took occa-
sion to give to our patrons some account Of the re-
surveys of the waters of the Sacramento river under
the superintendent of Commander Cadwalader
Ringgold, of the navy. We have again the plea
to refer to the subject, and to inform our
friends interested in the prosperity of California
and the navigation of the Sacramento Of the return
of Capt. Rnggod to harbor, after having closed
his researches far the city of Sacramento in
elusive. We have been favored with an opportu-
nifty of examining portions of the charts in course
of construction; and, far our judgment justi-
fes, pleased TO say they do credit to the Of
fcer who has faithfully prepared them, after so
much time and labor. Doubtless they will meal
cuably assist in the safe and easy navigation of the
whole route to the interior, and greatly facilitate
the communication with our friends also. II is
gratifying to know, and may be esteemed as strong
evidence OF the Improvements in the arts in our
city, that through the enterprise of Mr.. Woodruff,
Capt. Ringgold will be enabled to issue small and
limited number of copies of the charts in week or
two The Bay of Suisun being perhaps the most
difficult to navigate, and least understood, will be
published first in ORDER and the other portions will
follow, as the plates can be engraved, should
sufficient encouragement be held out by the public
to justify the great expense attending the publics-
ton.
