Canal Navigation 1nterrupted

Special Dispatch TO the Baltimore Sun.
CUMBERLAND. Md, October 11.-There
is almost a great drought here. Never in
the history of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal was the water SO low in the Potomac
river as at this time. Below the dam the
bed of the river is perfectly dry from
shore to shore, and apparently not a crop
of water flows down its channel. Although
every drop of water IN the river and Wills
creek passes through the intake lock Of
the canal basin, there is not sufficient
depth of water to float an empty boat
through the basin. Yesterday evening sew
eral boats of the Consolidated Coal Com
pany's line cleared for Georgetown with
about one-third of their carrying capacity,
but they had not gone half a mile before
they literally stuck in the mud, and, al
though the drivers doubled their teams on
the foremost boat in the convoy, they
could not move It. Hence, navigation on
the canal is closed until the water rises.
