We have been informed that quite serious
impediment TO navigation upon the Canal
has been constructed at point this side of
Harper's Ferry, known as Weaverton. Some
persons constructing the vallejo mill have
been allowed to encroach upon the Canal to
such an extent as to weaken the embankment,
and render it dangerous to let on full supply
of water, consequently boats heavily laden
find great difficulty in passing. This is but
another proof that improper management is
the chief, if not the only reason, why the Canal
has never been a remunerative concern to the
stockholders. Let the managers Of this con-
Germ at their next meeting elect a practical
man for president, one who knows how such q
work should be managed, and will give it his
whole time and attention, by making tour
the entire length of the line every month
during the navigable season, with full power
to correct abuses and remedy evils, and diff
ferent state Of affairs will very soon be seen.
Such a man can be had at the present time if
desired, one whose election to the post at this
time, would send thrill of joy to the heart of
every one directly interested in the canal.
Our river is considerably swollen in conse-
auence of the heavy fall of rain and snow on
Tuesday, and strong current is setting down,
bringing with it large quantities Of drift wood
&c which many persons in the neighborhood
of the wharves are busy catching. Up to this
time we have heard of no damage being done
to the canal. Boats are still arriving.
The rainy and gloomy weather of the last
day or so has been quite check to all bust
ness operations.
The cool weather of the last few days has
caused considerable diminution in the GUAM.

less activity, if not decline in prices. s.
