PoToMAc CHANNEL. The channels in the
two branches of the Potomac river alter Its
bifercatioa aboye this city are yearly becoming
narrower and more shallow, and consequently
more difficult to navigate. Government steam
ers on th;r way to and from the Navy Yard on
the Eastern Branch are frequently detained by
running aground and it is considered fortu-
nate occurrence ifvcssels of only toerable heavy
draught succeed in. safely reaching Georgetown
on the main branch. A coast!ng schooner,
loaded with coal, which sailed from George
town last week, has been aground for several
days past, below the Long Bridge, with tug
boats trying to drag her off, but as yet they
have been unsuccessful, and it is thought that
she will have to be ightered. The government
some of these days may frd it advantageous to
establish the Navy Yard, here, at deep water.
