ST.. CLAIR FLATs.--We see by the reports
from Washington, that Gen. Cass introduced in
to the Senate on Tuesday last bill for the con-
structon of channel thro' the ST. Clair flats.
We are heartily glad that our Senator has at
last awoke to the importance Of such meas
ure, and finally resolved to do something for the
requirements Of the large and increasing lake
navigation. The st. Clair flats have, from time
immemorial, been terror aud nuisance TO ves-
sells which were obliged to pass through them
into the upper lakes, and every season has borne
its dismal record Of vessels lost or impaired in
passing through these modern Scylla and Cha
rbds. Even in the present year we have heard
of fleets being aground, frozen n and cargoes
thrown over on the st. Clair flats, and now we
arc heartily rejoiced that something has been
done. Under the able superintendent and
management of Capt. J. N. Macomb, and tho
body of Typographical Engineers under his
command, the enterprise of constructing canal
through the flats, if committed to his charge
would be taken and finished in the same COM
plete and serviceable manner as have been his
former surveys and charts Of the lakes, which
have so materially aided the navigation of tho
northern waters. Had such a bill as we have
noticed passed Congress ten years ago, itwould
have saved an incalcuable amount of money
and many hundred of human lives ~
