The press of Jacksonville is taxing deep in
terest IN the Harbor Convention that is to meet
10 this city next week. The XertM OF tina, CITY
presents, in an elaborate article, the reasons
which are supposed 10 justify the conclusion
that 1t is possible 10 obtain permanently deep
water in the 81. Johns river between Jackson
vile and the sea. The Herald Says that Captain
Eads and General Gilmore have both exDresse.,
the opinion that deep water can be obtained
and concludes that all that is now necessary is :,
sufficient appropriation to build the required ie,
ties. Although the opinion has been frequently
expressed that il is impossible to give Jackson
vile deep waller, the opinions of two such abb,
engineers rs Captain Eads and General Gilmore
are sufficient to justify very liberal expendi-
ture of money on Jacksonville harbor Tia,
city IS growing rapidly and deep water TO the
sea is bot only greatly needed by her bn, would
promote her growth and prosperity wonderfully
