THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL-Cemmis-
soner Morgan returned to the city last night from
Annapolis. where he went yesterday to attend
meeting OF the directors of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company. He states that all the men,
bers of the board were present with the exception
OF one. It was determined to keep the canal open
as long as possible the coming winter or until the
Ice may interfere with canal operations. The ex-
tended drouth OF the past summer and consequent
low water; the unusual amount OF sickness all
along the line aQd among the hands employed;
and the interruption to transportation of freghts
Ohio railroad in the early portion OF the season,
has had the effect OF retarng the business but it
is hoped with I'D winter that the business will
be kept up the entire year. The canal is In thor
oughly good condition, and the demand for coal
brisk, with prospect that it will continue so.
There is plenty of coal awaiting Transportation at
the mines, and the facilities viii not be wanting
on the part OF the company to put it into market
