Steam on the Canals.

Perhaps the most important development
OF recent date. is that there are fttv-eight
steamboats, bull, or building, for use next
season OH the great Erie canal of New York.
When the experiments with canal steamers
were made last season in New York, we were
inclined to attach but little value to them, be-
cause the same had been going on for Years
past on the Schuylkill Navigation, Chesapeake
and Ohio, Delaware and Raritan. and Della
ware and Chesapeake Canals. Ii was not the
mere feasibility Of the change which was of
any value. for that was long ago demonstra-
ted. And even To establish the system per-
manentlv would not be new or startling, for
that also had been done long before, on the
canals named above. But theimportant fact
which now rises up for our consideration, Is
the extent to which this revolution III New
York has already gone. II it be true. as
stated, that tifty-eight steamers are now built
or building, for use on the Erie canal during
the ensuing season. then, indeed, will the
canal business all over the country experience
sudden and remarkable change. Steam
and horse power cannot long 90 on together,
for if it be cheaper to use steam than horses
as the motive power, it will come into general
use on the canal. ust rs on the railway.
There can be- no doubt that ii steam were
to be generally used in the navigation ofthese
artificial channels, they would soon rival the
railways in business and travel. and acquire
q development hitherto unknown i'll the Uni
ted States. TO the southern States, where
canals may be kept open all the year round.
and are not subject to icy embargoes. such Il
change would be Of immense value, and pro
badly Nigh cause a great revival otthe com
merre of such southern Atlantic ports as Nor
folk, Charleston, Savannah and Mobile
But il is tnour own State canals that we must
paw attention. The navigation of the lie
high Schuylkill, Susquehanna, and other
canalized rivers of Pennsylvania, would be of
immensely additional Importance under the
influence of steam.-Philodeiphio Americon.
