The North Branch Canal
About the only business of general in
terest to our readers transacted by 'our'
Legislature during the poet creek,• is tte
disettesion of the bill for the completion of,
the North Branch Canal. Saturday, in
partietdaas almost exclusively devoted
to that s u et, and the discussion of it, as
reported,ether interesting. A come-
pondent of the Pennsylvanian *rites as fol.'
lowa :
The speech of the Honorable speaker
was imp's.imred and eloquent. The exor
dium was frank, delibevate, and argument
ative, whilst the peroration was intersper
sed with glowing rhetoric and crowned with
poetic wreeths. Mr. Little also made a
calm, business-like speech in favor of the
measure, giving a brief oetline of its origin,
condition, and advantages, and concluding
with an earnest appeal that somethings
might he done by the prqsent Legislature,
to ensure the completion of a work in which
not oily his constituent. but the whole I
Commonwealth are noncerned, whether it is!
considered an a revenue measure to replen-
WI the Treasury, nr as a mensure ofjertiee
to the north for the benefit of a faithful but
long neglected people.
The friends of the North Branch Canal:
are making n bold and united miivement to I
secure its early completion by the State.—
The charter of the Company incorporated
to finish it having expired, it is note propos
ed to raise money en the faith or the Com
monwealth, by specifinally pledging the
tolls on the finished pert or the line, tot
the payment of the interest and principel of
the new loan to be content:red at six per
cent., end which, it is estimated, mot be'
liquidated within the term et twelve years.
The scheme is certainly plausible, and we i
believe can be realised to the letter of the
promise.
40 on intlicetion of the fuddle spirit pre
vailing along the North Branch valley we
might refer to a communication adressed
I to the Boone from C. 1.. Ward and others
.f Bradford county, pledging themselves to
ntract with the State to finish that portion
of the canal which in located in Bradford Co.,
on the term. stipulated in'the original let
tings, and to take in payment nix per cent
' certifientes of State)oan at par. Gentlemen
of equal enterprise is other counties, it is
alleged, will tender the name.proposition, ell
and execute its obligations in good faith.
Another correspondent writes an follows:
Mr. Fuller addressed the house . 1
the ha& of adjournment. The following
are the moat important statistic. contained
in his npecoh :
The State has already expended about
$2,500,000 on the untittinhed mina from
the month of the Ln•kawanne to the New,
York State line, which is a distance of 94
miles. It is estimated by able engineer.
that it will require to complete it $l,lOO,
000.
The North Branch Canal is now flniehed
and navigable from Northumberland to the
Lackawanna— a dietance of 73 miles, and
on that part alone, the tolls received this
year, according to the report of the Canal!
Commissioners, amount to about 3150,000 1
and are chiefly derived from coal going
south.
The canal passes through the centre of
the Wyoming and Lackawanna coal field,
which is sixty miles long and five wide,
containing 102,000 acres, and according to
geologiets, containing twenty-two billinn
eight hundred and forty million tons of eoal.
By this canal, when completed. the wa
ters of the Okonapeake and Delaware will
be connected with those 4 Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario, and the southern counties of
the State of New York will be brouglitfif
ty miles nearer Philadelphia than New
' ork city.
It is estimated that the reeelpte on the
mina when eompleted, will be 8800,000
the dretyear—m sum otateient to pay, !n
-ewest on the mangy shady sunk and ly
ing Ma expended on the uniniebod pert
of the line, and also on the sum
to templets it. Mr. Fuller milled=
"a revenue MU I" and indeed, If his data
be eorrent, the term is justly apperd to it.
A very oteentelfort Is making to procure
its passage. Some of the ablest of the
members are moving Heaven and 'earth in
its support. TM people in tan mnry large

PANAMA, Jan. 7, 1849.
The situation of affairs in California is
really most extraordinary. No accounts
we had are exaggerated. Captain Ilenrien
L n
de Lan*, of tl e French brig of war Geo*
: flOll here, says. that he learned at Valpa
-1 mho and Ism that there had been bro't
[to those plat.. California. to be run
Mo l iaro gold to the amount of nine mil
-1 lions of franca, (near $1,800,000.).
I The British coneul tells me he has for
worded 15,000 ounce. from this place across
!the Isthmus; and Lieut. Wood, of the
British navy, commanding the Pandora, now
here, say, that the truth is beyond the ee
-1 counts wo have heard. These gentlemen
l also .y that hundred. of people from the
western coast of South America are em
barking for the gold region; and most of
j the r lerks in the commercial places have
''quit their employmetits for the same object.
It will evidently be impossible to prevent
the troops, when they arrive, from desert-'
sag, and there will be no force to control
the erowd of adventurers that will arrive.
NO preparation wen made. here by the
steamboat company for transporting pash
eengers acres. the isthmus, or affording
them any information or aid in relation to
it. The roads are almost impanible, even
for melee, l and the number of boats on the
river and animals on the road., is entirely
insufficient. The public property in charge
of the qoartermaeters, ha. been lying a
week at Crones, waiting for thirty or forty
onmules to carry it; and the trouble, mesa.
tion, and exposure in getting it up the river
Chogres to this place, brought en Captain
Elliott, the senior quarter-master, an at
tack of cinders, of which Tie died on the
Inight of the Our, and wa. buried the next
lday at Cruet's, in the church yard.
j Major Fitzgerald has token charge of the
property, but he ill now sir lc of a similar
I attack. I have directed all the public
priiperty and officers' baggage now there to
jbe brought at once to tide piece, which is
'more wealthy. The greater port of it will
Ibe earned on men's bucks. They are now
asking o'2o a piece for mule loads of one
-1 third of the ordinary weight, the usual price
I being from 01 to 05 for full loads. I will
not at timpt to describe the roads or path..
troller these circumstances, I think it
will eot_be wise to send anything by this
route except et messenger with a very small
trunk, until other arrangements are made.
The resources of the Isthmus are entirely
l unequal to •jite business now thronging to
it. Flour to-day is at $4O a barrel, and
the inhabitants of the town are alarmed at
tie prospect of pestilence and famine.
