Engineers, in relation to the appropriation
for the improvement of the Shenandoah river,
made by Congress some time ago. and from
1t We gather information that will be gladly
received by = large humber of our people
The appropriation of SIT 900, it will be re-
membered, was made conditional, that all
the rights and titles of the old Shenandoah
River Navigation Com pany should be Cancelled
and the work given to the entire control
OF the U. S. Government, before the appro
priation should be expended and this il the
only reason why work upon the river inn
proTemsnt has not been begun long since
As it now stands, these parties have all sur>
rendered their rights except three in Clarke
county, and against these it will be necessary
for the State to proceed by condemnation
This. we are glad to be able to saw, Mr.
Lucas means to have done as speedily as DOS,
sible and then our people on the Shenandoah
from Harper's Ferry mp, will have the bspe.
fts of An appropriation which should lone
ago have been disburscd, but which. for tn.
reasons stated, could not be done. Mr.
Lucas and Col. Craighill have each taken
great interest in the matter, and deserve npcb
credit for their active efforts in its bsh.If
