THE TRANs-CONTINENTAL CANAL.

The project Of connecting the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans by q ship canal, navi-
gable for vessels of the largest class, is
attracting more attention than ever, and
it is believed, will be soon commenced,
under the auspices of the United States.
1t is q great and difficnlt undertaking,
but by persons competent to judge, is
believed to be practicable. Surveys have
been made Of several routes and another
expedition leaves New York in few
days to make fresh recognisance Of the
Atrato route. It is. however, thought
that the Nicaragua route. offers by all
odds tho least difficulties. In fact en-
cheering science aud practical skill has
reduced them to two: the removal Of the
bars at the mouth of the River San Juan,
on the Atlantic side. and the passage Of
the mountain chain distance Of ten or
twelve miles that lies between Lake Mic
aragua and the Pacific. The last is the
rub. but has been declared feasible by
experts. In all other respects the route
offers great advantages, the princi-
pal of which is the fact of having an i'm
msnse lake as central reservoir, and
an already navigable river. which, by the
construction OF locks in two places, the
closing Of all but one Of its embouchures
and by Strengthening and widening, Of
fers safe and easy means of access t.
the lake. The restoration Of the harbo
of San Juan, it is believed, would be ef
fected by the San Juan itself when it
waters are all collected in one chanel
In any case. the marriage of the two
great oceans is work which would cast
great lustre upon the American name,
the peaceful. laurels Of which would bring
great blessings to all concerned. The
United States. whose broad possessions
stretch to both oceans, has greater in
terest than any other power in the con.
struction Of the canal, the control of
which should also rest in the hands Of
the government Of this country. 1t
would be dangerous to be within the
grasp OF any Of the great maritime pow.
ers of Europe. 1t is both fitting and
conducive to the interests of the country
as we'll as serving as the source of i'm.
