The Columbia Canal. w.
The commission appointed by the last
legislature to dispose of this immense water
power has published a notice, setting forth

opportunity for the investment Of capital.

Joe Johnston's Express Company.
The National Express Company has an
Office in Columbia but is not ip commu.
nication with everywhere yet 80
That and the Adams { (Southern, so
called) Express Company, are the rivals for
public patronage. ..
Whichever chargesless forthe same work,
will get the work to do. ... -
Both of these companies will have to
look to their laurels, and possibly to their
existence, when the new organizasiou-the
Union Express Company, we believe it is
ed,-gets under way. Books are DOW
open in this city towards its establishments.
We hope from the new move some re.
duction OF the present rates charged by
express companies, even if nothing better
come of it. The victimized people will
rejoice in anything that will relieve them
