A SHIP CANAL.
Gov. Beavers Scheme by Connecting the
 Ohio River and Lake Erie.

Ohio River and Lake Erie.
 PTrTsBURG, Oct. 25.-The Pennsyl- vania and Lake Erie Ship Canal Com mission met in this city yesterday. Gov. Beaver was present and presided. Col. T. P. Roberts, of Fittsburg, was appointed on the Commission in the place of Reuben Miller, Esq.,, who de- clined to serve. Tho permanent officers elected were John A. Wood, Pittsburg, president; w. s. Shallenberger, of Rochester, Pa., treasurer; E. Brewer, of Erie, Pa., secretary.
 The advantages to be derived from a ship canal connecting Lake Erie with the Ohio River were discussed at length and maps and charts of old surveys ex- amined. The amount appropriated for the use of the Commission is only S1O,- 900, and is not sufficient to meet the ex- pense of thorough survey of the pro- posed route. John w. Goodwin and Col. Roberts will, however, give their personal attention to the matter, and the Commission will be able to accom- plish the duty for which it was ap- pointed.
 |. Gov. Beavers idea is to make a con- tinuous waterway from New York to New Orleans entirely inland by con- meeting the Ohio river and Lake Erie and to enlarge the Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany. He believes that it would be advantageous from both a commercial and military point of view. No committees were appointed, and the commission adjourned to meet in Pitts burg at the call of the president.
