returned from Ralelgh, is here looking after
The bill for the improvement OF the inland
navigation between Norfolk and Florida,
but the present session is too short to expect
anything to be done for this meritorious
work before next session. He informs me
that the navigation has been improved to
the Neuse river, and that there Is five feet
of water to Beaufort, but that eight will be
necessary. There can be no doubt but that
eventually not only inland navigation from
the Chesapeake to Florida will be estab-
Ii.hed, but from the same bay to our
northern frontier. In time OF war this
would be invaluable, and during the stormy
months Of the year it would prevent the loss
of life and property.
