Cunard steamers and their subsequent mysterious con-

The Indiana State Sentinel. says that the
remaining portion Of the Wabash and Erie
canal next to Evansville has been let, and
the contractors have been bound under
heavy penalties to have it completed in two
years, Hence it is almost certain this great
work-the longest canal in the United
States, and traversing one Of the richest sec
tions Of the fertile west-will be completed
within that time. This, in connection with
the numerous railroads in course Of con.
struction and projected, will place Indiana,
in few years, among the greatest States ol
the Union.
