the workmen at the coal docks have again re.
sumed their labors and the derricks are all in
operation unloading the many boats arrived
since Saturday, and the hand cars are moving
to and fro, depositing the cargoes upon the lots
which were swept clean OF coal. The offices Of
the companies are all opened again; the agents
and clerks are in their places, and apparently
more cheerful than ever before. A few days
the docks, and vessels will soon be arriving to
recei We cargoes for northern depots.
THE OANAL.-About forty boats arrived yes
terday, and the prospect Of uninterrupted nav
just been received from J. B. Masters, superin-
tendent OF the Williamsport division, which is
rather discouraging for the boatmen. He says:
"The water is SO low at Dam No. 5 that, unless
it rains, loaded boats will be stopped after to-.
day (Sept. 3d. We have been working at the
dam for the last week, but the leakage is so
strong and the river so low that without rain
it will take some time TO check it."
