H. B. Majsitr, Exq. Dear Sir. I arrived

pose of nrginu; tlieni tut aeenre the Bank of
the River at Sunburyr fmm th Norihumber
IiiihI Brilrn to the Shamokin Dim, by Rip.
Rapping the game. The t'aniil Commission
era treated the application with rer-peclfnl at
teniion, and seem to bn favorably disposed.
They are authorised to perform this improve,
ment by an act passed in I he Session of 1842,
sue pamphlet laws of that year, page 434,J
in the year 1828, the Slate built Ine Shamo
kin Dam, which by subsequent addition
raised the water in the Susquehanna about
nine feet. Hence, after this wa done, a
very moderate fresh would nnd did raise tht?
water so much at the Borough of Sunbury, at
a certain low place there, ami at all the ovr
grounds above the town, that it would aod
did sweep through those grounds, carrying
off crops and fence, and in some cases injur
ing buildings. Two uf those low places have
been secured, at nn expense of about $1600,
and the third and hist, is al-o about to be se
cured, the cilieus mid others having sub
scribed about 91900 for that puiposuj whirh
will be very nearly sufficient to do it. Now
all we ask of the Slate, is to secure tho work
we have done, and may do at our private ex
pense, as well as the other part of tho Bank,
ny Kip-Knpping, or paving it with stone.
This may cost 83000, which is not so much
by 6r'0O as the citizens have already j;i ven.
tf an individual or company had done us this
damage, here they would have been held
clearly liable to make it good. It cannot,
and surely it ought not la be, that the Btale
will oppress any of its citizens, and refuse to
grant them any redress. The matter is now
in the hands of a Committee of the House
that of internal improvement before whom
1 will appear on Monday to explain and urge
our claim. After which I shall leave it in
the hands of our Representative, John B.
Packer, Esq., where it will be perfectly safe.
You will be pleased to hear, that the Wil-Ham-port
and Elmira Rail Road will now be
completed almost to a certainly. The con
tract is given to a Mr. Gnnder, now here. A
gentleman, as I am informed, of adequate
means, und great energy ; and is to be dono
