Captain James B Fades, in letter to

sums up the work done at the mouth of

have written you will see that the river
diseharge ia now largely controlled on
one si!e by the east ietty, while large
nortion oS the water escapes over the
mattresses Of the west jet;y, which are
not vet high enough to control it. The
effect of closing the opening between the
west ietty and the west bank has, bow
ever, tended TO throw more OF the dis
charge down by the east Jstty and for .
diptance Of three thousand feet seven
thousand from the lands end, OF east
pointl the result has been decided deep
eninV of the channel, varying from one
foot to four or Eve feet, from the upper
and of the west jetty seaward. A de-
cidsd deepening between the ends OF the
ietties ont at sea has also occurred,
caused. doubtless, by tbe tidal action OF
the sea, which is controlled 10 some ex
tent by the guide piles, although the
mattresses ct the end are not yet bpilt
up sufficiently to justify anticipating
any marked effect Of the tide. Our pill.
ing was driven in twenty.six feet water
az the end Of the east jetty, and we have
now thirty-three feet for sone distance
landward. Adecidsd deepening extends
Eve hundred feet in this direction. The
bar ia. therefore, being attacked on the
one side BY the river and on the other
by the sea. and, as a result, the base Of
Il, in the line Of the channel, is materi'
ally shortened already by their action.
Not less than seven hundred cubic yards
OF earth have been removed BY the effect
Of the jetties thus far, and We have every
thing to encourage US to believe that sue
