AN ENTERPRISE OUR OWN STATE.-The navi-
cation Of the north branch of the Susquehanna
river has long been object Of interest with the
citizens in the northern counties of Pennsylvania
and the southern counties of New York. Millions
Of money will be expended by our State to con-
struct canal TO facilitate this great object, and
the public improvement will no doubt be found to
advance the interests OF the people in that section
of country and those Of the State. Yet private en-
tcrprise has been in advance of the State, and the
north branch has been for year made navigable
by the aid OF that great civilizcr, steam. An en-
terprising and intelligent gentleman OF this city,
Captain q. Converse, about a year ago, built the
steamer Wyoming, vessel lbs feet long, with
twenty-five feet beam, and drawing only fourteen
inches water, and he has since been running her
at all periods Of the year, except in unusually low
water, from Luzerne county up 10 the New York
line, in Susquehanna county.
The steamer carries coal up for the use of the
New York and Eric Railroad, at Bingbarnpton.
The coal costs 81 ~ cts. per ton in Luzernc
county. and when il gets TO New York Stata-it il
some profit the time of running being only two
days, the distance one hundred and ten mes This
single steamer has cleared from two to three hun
dred dollars per week during the time she has been
making her trips. Captain Converse is so pleased
with the results of the enterprise that he has
structed another steamer Of nearly the same size
as the Wyoming, and eighty horse power, at Balm
bridge, Chenango county, New York, about twenty
miles above Binghampton, 10 run down to Lanes
boro', in Susquehanna county, which will make
nearly one hundred and fifty miles of the North
Branch navigable by steam. This fact will
probably surprise some Of our readers, who may
know the character Of the Susquehanna, a mar
row, rapid, mountain stream, rising somewhere
in the centre of New York State on Lake Otsego,
and pursuing course as winding mountains
and hills will make entirely through Pennsylvania,
down to Port Deposit, in Mary philadelphia

The Union newspaper, with modesty as
novel as it is commendable, desires that we

We might find no difficulty in complying with
this request if regard were had exclusively to

surgeon who enters upon the dissection OF a
loathsome subject. But revolving as is the
task, we shall not shrink from its thorough eX-
ecution. And we will either teach the editor
to pay greater regard for truth and decency in
the conduct of his journal or we will so expose
it in all its disgusting deiormity, that he shall
cry out,
