1t is stated that the senate committee on
have agreed to report in favor
of three general water routes; one northern,
one southern, and one middle. The choice of
the location of each water route has not been
determined. The canal propositions from the
extreme south come up in so unsatisfactory a
shape that the committee win probably confine
itself to recommending a short canal around
the mouth of the Mississippi. The prefer
ence of the committee is reported to be IN
favor Of the James river ana Kanawa canal
for the central route. The northern interests
are so conflicting that the committee are much
perplexed how to make choice between
them Such are the reports in circulation, but
it is probable that they embody the present
drifts of the views of the committee, and not
any final determination. ..-....t
