The st. Johns Bar.

Capt. IL. W. Chaples, of sch. Paatka, of this
city says the new channel over the bar at the
mouth of the st. Johns river, Florida, is good
one and in his opinion is the direct result of the
jetics. The old channel, also very good at this
time is directly across the jetties. Vessels have
come out of the new channel recently without
touching bottom. The new channel runs parallel
with the jetties. Capt Chaples says if the gap in
the jettes which forms the old channel should he
closed up the whole force of the current would be
driven into the channel, which would gullcy it
out to Il much greater depth. The trouble has been
that the appropriations have not been made when
most needed. AS long time elapses after one APP
preparation has been expended before another is
made by Congress much of the work goes to
ruin and a large amount of the new appropriation
is used in repairing damages. If the appropria-
tons were continuous the work could go on unin-
terruptedly to a finish. No appropriation is now
available.
Capt. Chaples says freights at Jacksonville are
governed somewhat by these appropriations
When the vessels obtain good freights down on
stone for the jetties lumber freights less, bat
when they have no outward cargo more has to be
paid on the lumber freight back. At the present
time lumber freights have dropped tribe, but
