Tho Feasibility OF n ship Canal Through

mated the Proi, ct NO Defeating Obstacles.
To THE EDITOR OF THE SuS-.Sir: In
your issue OF the 2lst inst. I observe an extract
from n Paris letter, In which II Is stated that
attention Is being drawn there to American
engineering projects, and the FLORIDA ship
canal" Is spoken Of as OF easy construction.
Having been the originator, In conjunction with
Col. \. N. Gary OF this State. OF the project 1
feel great interest IN Its success.
In the latter part of 1877 the attention Of Col.
q. and myself was drawn to this matter, and we
made such examination OF tho route az our IA
cilities permitted. Many explorations OF the
peninsula had made me familiar with Its geog-
raphy aud topography; and, when my mind was
directed to this subject, dt once came to the
conclusion that the valleys Of the q ;klawaha
and Witblacoochee rivers presented the best,
perhaps the only route for ship canal SUISSE
qvent Investigations have confirmed me Ia this
opinion.
Recent examinations Of the mouth Of the
withlacoochee have induced me to conclude
that Dave underestimated the cost OF opening
that river to the Gull. as the shoal later ex =
tends further seward than was at first led to
believe. No obstacles exist, however, that m Cd
ern science cannot easily overcome.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF EMIGRATION

A scriptural writer speaks of the wan.
behring's to and fro Of the human race as
essential to an increase of knowledge.
We opine, however, that increase of com.
fort, rather than of knowledge, has been
the grand stimulant to individual and
tribal movements since the day when
Cain first became an exile from the roof.
tree of his parents. But no matter what
the stimulent, increase of knowledge has
been one of the invariable results OF
travel Indeed, there have been travel
ers since the remotest traditional and
historic times whose sole quest was knowl-
edge. But they have ever been the ex-
ceptional few; the many moved for other
purposes-for comfortable settlement, for
conquest and spoil, or to free themselves
from the yoke of the oppressor.
Without specially referring to move
ments for purposes Of discovery, to Jewish
wanderings in the wilderness, to prose-
lyting campaigns by Mahomet and his
followers, or to the religious crusades, 80
irreligiously conducted, We find that tho
march Of humanity for permanent settle.
