Tht wonderful increase in thi facilitiea
fur transportation that the In it four yea es
have witnessed, - is tigs lo the tiiemphs of
machinery over animal power, Canal ha
been In use for, age", J railroad arejnven
liona of comparatively recent origin. So
long animal power wag l ha motor, canals
m tinlnined a gr a' iu, e iel y ; when locom i
live. were .nirodticeJ on railroad, iho con
dition ol things, was al .unce reversed, .and
'recent experience abundantly testifies Ihni
fitst-clnss double track railroad such as
lead to Boston. New Vork
.and Baltimore, can carry freights at but lit
tle more than half the eJtpoue par Ion of an
Improvement suoh as the Pennsylvania Cu
nal. " That atich are the fads will be apparent to
'any one who examine the subject J.and it is
mazing that intelligent legislator w ill rc'
their opinions Upon the bare nseit on of
those who are interested in maintaining th3
present order of things, and credit tho de
claration that the canul, with a new toa I
over the mountains, will be able to meet
any competition from without the State. ; To
repose confidence in such representations is
inevitably to bung destruction upon o'jr
Irad", ruin upon our merchants, end injury
to the State. Let the new toad over the
mountains be made. We do not object lo
it it will assist, to some extent, as an aux
iliary to the Pennsylvania Ruilioad. Both
are striving for the same object ; but let
not the delusive hops be cherished, that i'
will restore the main lino to the eapaci'y of
successful competition with the Erie Canal,
nn which there are no transhipments, and
whose magnificent dimtnsions render it
equal lo a navigable river; or with the great
railroad leading to rival cities, upon which
millions of Ions are transported by a motor
that knows not fatigue, and in comparison
with which all tho horse power that could
be plaoed on our canal would be but insig
nificant. . It is in vain lo struggle ngninst the pro
gress of improvement. Trade will flow in
that channel which offers it (he greatest fa
cilities. No obstruction that can be placed
in the way of the Pennsylvania Railroad
will divert the business to the canal, so long
as far superior avenues invite it in other
Stales lo other cities. The fact has been
demonstrated conclusively ; hoise power
cannot compete with steam. To attempt
he hopeless competition now, betrays a dim.
position lo shut out tho lights of experience.
Nothing but a change in the propelling pow
er can restore canals to an equality with
railroads.
I there any hope of such a chango 1
There is. A ray of light even now begins
faintly to illuminate the future., Encourage,
men! is given for the hope that canals may
once more recover their supremacy in econ
omy of transportation. Mechanical im
provement can alone rrs'ore them, (me
fact is prominent and encouraging. Ten
pounds on a straight and level railroad will
move a ton, but ten pounds on n canal will
move several ions. The difficulty in the
way of successful canal competition is, that
the ten pounds of power on the railroad
ro?l but little more than one pound of the
price used on canals. If the power could
te of the same kind on both, canal could
furnish much the cheapest transportation
Great Britain has seen and acknowledged
(be superior economy of railway transporta
tion ; invention has been stimulated, and nn
application of steam to cannl propulsion pro
mines to be successful, and offers encoura
giug for the hopo that a new era in canal
navigation may be introduced.
To adapt the nsw system lo our main line
would require a much larcer expenditure
than the people of the Slate might be dis
posed lo sanction ; but it is not improbable
that a company might be found to take the
whole of iho main line as a unit, remodel it,
and pay lo tho Stato a large annual bonu
coniderabIe exceeding the revenue that
could be derived under Slate management,
and improving it lo.lho capacity of rail road
competition. We believe this lo be possible
but it woulj consume loo much paco to
give our reasons for this belief. The sub
ject is worthy of consideration ; and instead
of checking the progress of tho Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company in its effort to secure
the Western trade, through fear that it
might outstrip the ciinal,' would it not be
more wise, and more beneficial to the inter
ests of the State, to remove from Iho railioad
all it letters, bid it God speed in it race of
'competition, and, by the introduction of im
provements, give to the canal ii greatest
efficiency t
The day has passed when an improve
ment which has not sufficient iiminsiu val
ue to commend it lo patronage can be sus
tained by discriminative legislation ; and
such legislation is peculiarly unjust when
'directed against a corporation that, so far
from causing, greatly reduces the competi
tion, by retaining upon a portion of the line
a trade that would have been lost to the
whole Pennsylvania.

of ashes, manure, old vehicles and rubbish.
It i the duty of the supervisors to remove
all of these, at the expense of the owners

the whole term answering to the name of
Corr. This irregularity will discharge the
prisoner from that indictment. He will
no doubt immediately be tried for the mur
der of Mrs. Shaw, the sister of Mrs. Lynch.

and though a reckless and hardened villi.in
steeped in crime, he in, withal a craven nnJ
a coward. This morning, before the opening
of Court ; hu was boasting to one of the offi
cers, of some diabolical and disgiaceful vil
lainies that he had perpetrated. The offi
cer refusing lo listen any longer, told him
that he was the most black-hearted villain
be ever knew. A motion has been made for
a new trial, on Ihe ground that a man who
had not been summoned, appeared and ser

who volunteered his serices, for sixty days,
