BURLINGTON is serenely lovely in the mat
ter Of the Canal Improvement. The ARGUS
says: The work of the canal around The
Des Moines rapids is progressing finely. A
great amount of work has already been done.
A chain of rocks have already been laid along
the outer edge of the canal, which extends
far into the river, all the way from Nashville
TO keokuk, some ten miles. These rocks
are now being covered with solid embark
nent Of earth. When this work is conn le-
ted, they will commence 10 dig the bed of
the canal, which will be 400 feet vide. and
deep enough to admit the largest class steam.
ers. Congress has appropriated $500, 900 for
the work. This demand is insufficient and
Congress will doubtless make another aopro-
priatioa, and the work will be completed in
two years. The enterprise is one Of great
importance to Burlington, to the west, and in
fact to the whole world. We hope it NAV be
prosecuted without delay 10 rapid compile
