 Congressman George Huddleston, who procured an appropriation for this last preliminary, and who is so enthusiast ically in favor of the canal. is expected to be present at the meeting on next Tuesday.
 MT. Huddleston, like some of our other public officials, had doubts of the feasibility of building the canal, but when he started at the mouth of Valley river and followed it on foot to Besse- mer, he became enthusiastic for the ca nal and is fully prepared to present the proposition in an intelligent and forcible manner when the report reaches Con- gross.
 Some members of the committee, who have gone down the river and seen for themselves what seems to be so practi- cal and feasible, express the opinion that the work of constructing the canal is so simple as to require very little time after an appropriation is made by Congress"
