%icrcsls aud at our future prosperity
We soy fqiai, for unless our river 4.
kept open, our trade is killed, end
Pasc1goula IL doomed. In our lat
issue we stated that the late food. IN
usual in lie extent, had formed n bar
of the mouth Of Out river on which
there was only Il feet Of water, and
the stcam.tug Rolla was aground
twenty-four hours in the ccnal. This
canal has been, until lately private
property, and the owners kept II
cleared out to six feet and charged
toll, of vessels passing through it.
The State Commissioner lately pur-
it in the nam Of the State
our citizens-deeply impressed with
the Importance Of deepening the
mouth of u river-liberally sub
,cril ing $4,000 to purchase il, depend
.ng upon the State appropriation to
widen and deepen it; and this was
lone in accordance with the views OF
he U. S. Engineer, charged with the
urvey Of our river and hal Dor and
Who recommended a further appropri
ton by the General Government.
IN the faith Of the pledge by tle
tate, the Commissioners, even paid
lore for t Q canal than the $4,000. +:
assured hal the State would {
lcet its obligation; and the balance
f the State appropriation would put {
he canal in q condition to meet the {
equiremcnts ofour commerce; where 4,
now, u trade is impeled, and
10 sea-going vessels in our bay ere
ring upon heavy demnrage, to be
aid by the mills and shippers, who {
annot supply their cargoes, on ac-
cunt of lighters not being able to go
ut to them. Would it be believed
hat this condition Of affairs; this blow
t capital invested and at our
ommercc; is brought about solely to
rstify the malicious spite which one
lember of the Legislature entertained I
owards a single citizen OF PaSca-
oula. Can it be possible that the
Governor of the State would officially
auction such action. We trust not, 6
nd That he has not signed the bill.
lie promised to cone down and look i
1to the matter" We earnestly think !
is his duty SO to do. And it is a
natter which admits of no delay. l
