Eads and Nelson

/ We extract from the st. Louis Intel!i.
gencsr the following notice Of the proposed
operations Of Messrs. Fad. and Nelson. Il
The proposition referred to be carried into
effect, the gentlemen named would seem TO
have undertaken hereulean task to be &C.
complished by private enterprise, but both
the energy and success which have marked
their previous labors, afford good suaran.
tee for the future. One thing is certain,
tina, the improvement OF the rivers hert2-
fore, though vast sums have been expended
for that purpose, reflect but little credit on
those who have been the principal mana
gers. It may not be known to all Of our
readers, that the senior partner Of the firm
in question is the son Of our fellow towns.
msn Col. Eads:-
.The proposition OF Messrs. EAD. g.
NELscs 70 clear the great rivers OF the
West of sn.gs, and keep them safe for nav
igation by contraetwith government and the
favorable report On their proposition by the
Committee on Commerce, al Washington,
bring these gentlemen prominently before
the nation, and demand word from ST. /
Louis 10 their behalf. /
We may justly say Of Messrs. EAps d /
NELSON that there is not, in the country, Z +
more flung examplsr Of this nations pro
,ress, grasping enterpr sc and energy, than
.iese gentlemen afford In their present ex-
ended and important businers. They have
means and resources equal to the most en-
ar ged sphere Of action. they have pow
Dt ofcombinstion and efficiency that Gov
srnment, through agents could not hope TO
ival. And they already do bushes as
sreckers, or raisers OF sunken bosts, OF 81
much necessity and value 70 Western Com.
narce, that their firm may almost be de-
eliminated National Institution.
Congress may safely put one or all Of the
Western rivers under the care OF Eads and
'slson. They will be setter preserved {
