The Proposed Chlncoteaguo and Del
aware Canal.

The Secretary of war has addressed a
letter to Congress covering the prelim-
mary report Of survey made for a
Il coast line canal from Chincoteague
bay, on the eastern boundaries Of Acco-
mac county, Va, and Worcester county,
Md, to Delaware bay at or near Lewes.
The total amount Of navigahlc waters
that would lie brought into safe commu-
nication by theproposed canal would be,
in round numbers, one hundred and fifty
miles to the various landings along the
creeks and bavs, thus giving an outlet
to four hundred and fifty miles of terri
tory. The total distance to be improved
to render the Whole line between the
two bays navigable would not exceed six
teen miles. The cost Of the improve
mtnt. which would give continuous
channel seventy feet wide, with depth
of six feet at mean low water, is estima-
ted by the engineers at three hundred
and fifty Thousand dollars, and the whole
work, it is said, could be completed in
about two hundred and fifty working
days. The probable amount of freight
that would be annually transported over
this route by water carriage is put at
about one million seven hundred and
ninety-tve thousand dollars. Of this to-
tai the exports, consisting of logs, ties,
timber, lumber, cord wood, oysters and
grain, would he over Il million of dollars,
and the exports seven hundred and twen-
ty-tive thousand dollars. Tie cord wood
now standing in the woods along the bays
and streams, are easily accessible, is
said to he ..almost inexhaustible, while
ship and other timber is found there in
great quantities and of superior quality.
One effect of the proposed canal would be
the drainage it would afford to some Of
the marshes through which it would
pass. and stress is also laid on the fact
that while the oyster business as now
carried on in Chincoteague bay gives
employment to over five thousand men,
it is capable of being largely increased
if its waters are given q northern out
let. thus producing current that would
freshen and relieve the stagnation that
now prevents the raising IF oysters

of Chincotergne bay v;lnelesS for this
purpose. The difficulty of improving
the soil of the country lying along the
bays, and naturally "of good quality,
easily worked, and of great original pro-
duetivencss, arises, according to the
report of Engineer Bird. rot only from
the cost of transporting lime bv railroad
but because of the distance which it has
to be hauled from the railroads to the i'll
terror farms. The cost and distance are
too great to allow OF its nse ut present,
whereas, in his opinion, IL would he
freely used when with water transport
tation ut could he cheaply brough. al
most to The fields by vessels us return
lrrights. y Such is The substance of the
preliminary survey FOR al inland coast
line water route between Chincoteaglle
and Delaware bays, as authorized to he
made by Congress under the provisions
of the river and harbor act of July 9Th,
1854. This inland canal, it should he
understood. is simply for the purpose of
giving II free and safe passage between
the two bays for small coasting vessels
instead of exposing them to the dan
gers of open sea and has no connection
whatever with the proposed ship-canal
from the Choptank river to the mouth
of the Delaware, which would prove So
valuable to the government for military
purposes, and for commercial purposes
to Maryland and many of the interior
States. -BaltO. Sun.

Rile, l.. Kelley was found dead along

crushed in Il manner which caused the
lelief that he had been killed by the

HicConkey. for the examination of the
