The Canal.

The Terre Haute Express contains the
following statement in regard to the ar
rangements for maintaining the Canals
We learn that the Trustees of the Wabash
Il Erie Canal have about completed arrange
ments for opening and maintaining this pub
lie work for the next two years at least
The arrangement when completed, will
place the Canal under the control of three
private companies, subject to the general su-
pervision of the Trust The Canal will be
divided into three separate divisions, one
from Evansville to Newberry, including the
locks and dam at that place; another from
Newberry TO the lower lock at Terre Haute.
and the third from Terre Haute to the State
line. The companies or associations that
will have charge of the Canal are composed
OF the business men, farmers. and those in
terested along the line. The contract for
the division from Evansville to Newberry
has been entered into between the Trustees
and hive gentleman along the line of the
Canal, who were appointed for that purpose
by the Convention held at Evansville on the
23d inst. The gentleman in question, on
! behalf of the citizens who subscribed the
| means, contract with the Trustees for the
repair and maintenance of this division of
the Canal, for four years from the st Of
| April 1859. They nominate ali their own
officers and fix the compensation, and have
general control of the repairs, collection and
police of the Canal In consideration OF
this, the Trustees give to them the entire
toll of that division of the Canal, and agree
| that the rate of local tolls shall be estab-
| lished by them. As, however, the Trustees
are the only parties authorized to collect tolls
and keep up the regulations OF the Canal,
all the business must necessarily be done in
| their Names
Under this management, 1t is hoped that
| by adding to the rate of local tolls, and by
the personal supervision which each of the
FIVE managers (who reside in Vanderburgh.
Warrick, Pike, and Daviess counties) will
be able to give, each to the portion Of the
canal lying in his own county, the ex-
pense of repairs will be so materially
diminished that the revenues may avail to
keep the canal i'll order, with but small
outlay on the part of the citizens
I A similar arrangement is about to be con-
summated for that portion of the canal
| lying between Newberry and Terre Haute
and Col. Bowling, the Resident Trustee has
just gone North to close like contract with
parties residing along the line, for that por.
ton of the canal from Terre Haute TO the
State line, east.
The canal from Montezuma to the State
line will be opened for business by the 2t
of April, the funds for opening the same hav
ing been advanced some weeks since by The
parties who propose TO contract; and from
Montezuma to Terre Haute early in the en-
suing weeE.
