atrato SHIN Canal Project,

The survey OF the route from tue Atlantic
to the Pacific, by the river Atrato, in the at
TEN ptedrecoDnoissance Of which Lieut.. Strain
suffered so much, has just been completed,
and the data obtained for determining with
precision the practicabiiIty OF an inter-Ocean-
ic ship canal by that line.
"The distance BY land surveyed by this
party from the point on Truando where they
established their first camp, TO the Pacific
was ftty-siX or fifty seven miles; or, if We
consider the land route as beginning at the
falls of the Truando, only twenty-four or
twenty-five miles. Considering the account
given of the general character Of the country
and the reserve in the expression Of an opin-
ion as to the practicability Of the route, it
seems most likely that the detailed report
will 90 to establish the untavorable opinion
pronounced as long ago as 1852 by Mr.. John
Z. Trautwine, of PhIladelphia, who made an
examination at that time with view to this
question. Although the survey by Lieut..
Mlchicr included the river Atrato, the report
trom which we quote furnishes no details on
thai subject. Tue article Atrato, in the New
American Encyclopedia, states, that within
the bar, that river has wide channel not
less than thirty-fve feet deep for the FIRST
ninety-,ix miles above it's mouth, with fall
not exceeding two and bait inches to the
mile, and that for fortY-two miles further,
channel exceeding eighteen feet can be OBJ
tanned at little expense. The whole distance
from sea to sea by this route is understood to
be about two hundred and fifty miles. ~.
