those gentlemen who Laid the foundation of Our
present school system, you have forgotten the
names Of Andrew Coyle, Ignatius Mudd, and
most earnest and liberal friends of the schools
and always the friend OF both teacher and pupil
His popularity was equalled only by the liber-
aIity with which he used his ample means for
the promotion and elevation of "common
schools" Although at that day he was in the
book business, 1t is well known that his connec-
ton with the schools was a pecuniary loss and
ms respected memory seems to suggest the in
quiry whether he has left any visible successor

THE CHEsAPHAKE BAY AND POTOMAC RIVER
CANAL CoMPANY.-The House Committee on
Railways and Canals yesterday considered the
bill to authorize the Chesapeake Bay and
Potomac River Underwater Canal Company to
enter the District of Columbia. This company
proposes f given permission by Congress, to
extend their canal from the JDnt where it
strikes the boundary line Of the District, thence
in and through said District to the Anacostia
river, at a point thereon above Bennings
Bridge; thence along said river to points i'm the
city Of Washington. 1t is the intention Of the
corporation to run up the AnacOstia
river to Bladensburg and construct from
thence a canal to Annapolis. They agree to
commence operation on the Washington canal
within five days after the passage Of the bill,
and clean it out, keeping at all times at least
four feet of water therein; and are willing, if
the city Of Washington has any claim to the
canal, to pay fair and equitable value
therefor.
At the session of the committee yesterday. Mr..
Gideon l.. Walker appeared in behalf of the
Canal Company, and urged the passage of the
bill, and in reply to an interrogatOIy stated that
the price of ceal alone would be reduced one
dollar per ton, as they could transport that
article at such rates as would warrant such a
reduction. The committee seems favorably
impressed with the project, and appointed
Messrs. hcCrew, PrOsscr, and Smith 1. sub
committee to examine into the same, and report
at an early period.
