\ CLEAR CHANNEL DOWN THE
RIVER.

1t is said that prominent shippers and
commercial men of Philadelphia will visit
Washington in body, during the present
session of Congress, for the purpose Of
securing an appropriation to carry forward
projected improvements In the Delaware
river. One OF these changes Is the removal
Of Schooner Ledge off Marcus Hook. The
plans for this sre nearly completed, and will
be forwarded to Washington in day or
two. Col. William Ludlow, a Government
engineer, in company with Col. Macomb, of
Philadelphia, have examined the place
most thoroughly during the past month.
An old Wilmington waterman, who was
with the examining party all the time, in q
conversation with HERALD reporter, yes
terday, gave q clear idea Of the Lodge, and
the probable cost necessary to effect its re
msval.
The Ledge ID near the centre of the river,
where the water Is the deepest, and consists
of four or five huge, projecting rocks, which
make 1t very dangerous for vessels. On
many occasions the copper bottom OF vessels
has been knocked of by coming Ia contact
with them, and several large steamships
had their iron plates badly battered last
summer by running upon them In the night.
Before the rocks are removed and the place
made safe, about S,400 feet OF solid rocks
must be blasted and e1cavated, at cost of
about 5000 900. It IS intended to divide
the work into seasons, If the appropriation
Is made, as it cannot be accomplished with
safety to naUga tlon in one year. @E
