into the Atchafalaya. The only obStruc-
ton to the navigation between Washing
ton and New Orleans, is at the mouth of
the Courtableau.. Sometimes the waters of
the Atchafalaya are higher than those of
the Courtableau, so that a current is forced
up the latter at and near its mouth, making
a deposit of sand. In low water, as at the
present timc, it is difficult, and occasionally
impossible, for boats of the usual draft to
cross the bar, known as 1.-THE Little Devil"
1t will require no great effort Of engineer
ing skill to remove this obstruction, and
when the necessities of our
absolutely require it, it will be accomplish.
ed. But even as it is, fine steamers are
constantly plying to and from New Orleans,
making the trip in about thirty six hon's'
The only obstruction being the bar we have
mentioned, navigation is never suspended
at the low water stage. Boats run between
the bar and Washington, and between the
former and New Orleans, re.shipments
being required; but shippers and travellers
are subjected to no additional charge.
With all the advantages we have imper
fectly enumerated. with the tide of popu-
lation flowing into our country, with the
growing disposition On the part of orr
planters to deal with factors at home, with
the prospect of railroads to develope the
country whose produce will mostly find its
way to the Courtableau for shipment,
Washington, the reader will not fail to
perceive, must become a large and flourish
inc commercial port. In view Of its i'm
portance. and Of the want of geographical
and to- geographical information relative to
our comparatively isolltcd country, we
make no excuse for the unusual length Of
this article.
While much more might be said on the
subject, we desire to say something of the
population Of Washington. They are
! characterised by a most co nmendable
peculiarity--they are a homogeneous and
united people. Other towns and nrighbor-
hoods may have their local and social
feuds, dissensions and divisions; they may
have heir conflicting rings, presided over
and controlled, by selfimportant politicians;
they may have their little circles #
antocratic leaders. impugning the motives
of all those whodo not agree with them, and
stirring up the worst PASSIONS of men for
mere personal or par isan purposes; bnt
the people of Washington attend to then
own business, are not over-eensorious of
their n%eighbors, and are united in what
ever contributes to the harmony of their
their common prosperity.

he sent his resignation to the Governor

that Capt Jonathan L. Morris has been

did not feel authorised to continue its

of his services, we arc gratiied to know
that his successor is a gentleman Of well
