GENTLEMEN: Having been employed
by you to make the Survey and neces-
sary examinations, plans and estimates
for the improvement Of the Tar River,
] have the honor herewith to report the
result.
From the difficulty of procuring pro-
per Assistant Engineers, the Survey
was not begun until the 1st of June,
although it was expected under the ar
rangcments with you, that it could have
been commenced by the 18th of May
It was finished and the party discharged
on the 4th of July following, with the
exception of one of the Assistant Engin-
eers, Mr.. S. T. Albert, who was retained
to aid in the construction of the Charts
and Plans preparatory to the estimate.
The. Survey could not have been
made at more favorable season, as the
water continued at on near the lowest
summer stage during its prosecution.
The Survey was begun at the first OBJ
struction to the navigation about 4
miles below Greenville, and 400 feet
below the mouth of Hardy's Creek. The
distance to Tarborough was found to be
30 miles 32l3 feet, measured on the
north bank of the river, and the rise for
that distance II feet and 3-lOth of
foot, which, for the whole distance, is an
average of fraction over 4-10ths of
foot TO the mile.
The stream was guaged just below
Tarborough, and its capacity, at the
then, stage of water, was found to be
70, 200 cubic feet per minute.
The plan Of reference, or Zero, was
assumed at the ordinary low water OF
summer; it was designated by gentle
men familiar with the river, and found
~ve'y correct, as the tide guages,

Governors-and as it is stated that there
will be no choice for Governor by the
people Of Massachusetts,, the whig Le-
gislature will probably elect whig Co.

alone" amongst his compeers.
Ia consequence of the division of the
democratic party in New York into
"hard" and "soft," the whigs-who are
neither hard nor soft, but like q nose of

succeeded in electing whig Lcgisla-

We are in possession of adviccs from

Shanghai to the 7th of August. Though
the accounts we have of the rebellion
arc general, they agree as to the sue
cessful progress of the insurgents north
wards. 1t was reported there had been
hard fighting in the Honan province;
but the rebels forced their way through
without apparently sustaining any Sc
we're reverscs, and had crossed the Vel
low river into Shantung province, the
capital of which, Tsi-nan-foo, it is given
out, had fallen. They were pushing on
toward Pekin in great force, and it was
the current belief that a division of the
rebels was not far from that capital; but
the vague reports of its having been ta-
