no one doubts Idiot a road leading from
Gettysburg to the Cities will cottiman.i the
outlier inule of a large and wealthy region
to the South-west of us and even from be-
yowl the mountain*. Now, if the Road
will pay, as Mr. &Min has shown it will,
even Making all reasonable allowanoe for
•
error in the estimete, why should our
capitalists hesitate to invent in it their
funds? Much less should our Farmers,
Mechanics., Merchants, Men of Business
of every clan, hesitate to go into the move

Why suppose the benefits of the Road
could by any possibility be confined to the

.
eualmeing aboilt, 100,600 Awes, and loAv-
lug out of view all She varied benefits and
advantages accruing te the community by
reason of increased bittiness and enterprise,
increased productions and increased prices
—leaving all these out of view, the rise in
the value of the lauds embraced in this
area would alone make the road complete?
Dues any one suppose that there is a sin
gle acre in the entire 100,000 lying with
in eight miles of Gettysburg to the west
and north, and 4 miles to the eastand
south, that will not be advanced in value
at least $1 per acre, as soon as the road is
completed ? Well, while all will be ad
vanced at lout a dollar, some will of course
be advanced wore, say $2, 88, $4, $5, 810,
$l5, *2O; and upwardsper acre in propor
tion_ to nearness and advantages of location.

rough which a year ago . ) could have been
boaght for 550 and *lOO an acre, but
which could not Lai had now for double ur
treble that amount, even in the prospect, of
a Railroad.
We are glad to find that there is 60111 j
evidencetbat our people are beginning to
think in earner& upon this subject, as is
manifested by the liberality with which
the eanvassert for subscriptions have thus
far been met. The Borough alone bas al-
ready subscribed over $24,000, which will
undoubtedly be increased to not less than
$28,000, and most probably $30,000
nearly one-third the sum requisite to secure
the Road ! Some half a dozen persons have
subscribed each $l,OOO, while the others
vary from $6OO, $5OO, 6400, down to $lOO.
It remains to be seen how our friends in
the townships, who are after all the most
deeply interested in the project, will come
up to the work. Everything looks auspi
cious now ; and if ALL will put their shoul
ders to the wheel, the project will be eaei..
ly carried through, and in a short time the
iron-horse may be seen speeding along our
hills and valleys.
But we are detaining the reader from
tin remarks of Mr. MIFFLIN, who, after
being introduced to the meeting, spoke
substantially as follows :
It is now about iwenty.five years since I sret
entered , Lill borough of Gettysburg, on en er
reed similar to that whioh his brought me here
to-day. I misted in making a survey, under 1
.the authority of the State of Pennsylvania, from
Charnbershurg to Yorit;to ascertain the prat-1
tiesbilil ofa Rail Road betiveenthetwopliwes.
We pissed through Black's Gap and down I
?duel( creek until we got clear of the mountains, i
and then down the dividing ridge to Get-1
vetting. From Gettysbuni we went round by
Saltsgiver's, arid thence by rate's blacksmith
shop, obliquely across the dividing ridge be- I
maim the Sestinehanna and Potomac, pursing i
east of Bona ughtown and crossing Little Con -1
owago near the Chapel.
At that day it was supposed that Rail Roads
could nut he Worked by Locomotive Engines,
If their gradeat exceeded 271 feet per mile, and
,as we 101111 d it linpracticabletto get down from
Boneughtoirn'to that Conowitgowith that grade,
our Chief 'Engineer, Mr. Hopkins, located an
*tanned plane of about 80 feet just west of the
stream, This wee reported to the Legislature
autl.the mete Will of conree condemned. .
In 41836, eight years after, another attempt
Was made. and I had the , honor of conducting
the purvey as piaci Engineer. Much know
ledge hid been gained'uteanwhile, and we were
no longer cOnOtwil to the low grade of 273 feet
per mile; but here anothreconclitioit presented'
Itself.' The State-road then begun'west of Get-
tysbdrg, twee graded at the rate of 50 feet per
nrile.--the road from Colombia to Philadelphia
vvas.graded et a. maximum of3o.feet per mile,
It wee thought advisable fir:continue this low
grade. as far west as Gettysiiirrg, that the re
arrangement of trains might take place at the'
end or the Company's road, and not at an in
termediate point. We got an excellent line
from York to Oxford at 30 feed pet mile, and a
practicable 'although expensive one from Ox
ford to Gettysburg, within the satire limits, but
our line front Gettysburg showed the same result
ire Mr. Hopkins, survey. It required grades of
at least 50 feet per mile, and the line through
Berlin required esecisely :he same conditions.
For this reason the Company adopted the Ox
ford route, but the project went down in the
general crash in 1837, and the Gettysburg
Rail Road was for a time abandoned.
We are now about to make a second attempt.
and I trust under better auspices than before.
We are no longer embarrassed with questions
of high or low grades, but can choose such as
the ground requites. Time Rail Road from Bal
timore has reached Hanover, only fourteen
miles off, and all that is wanting is a united
I effort to construct this short link.
1 I have made no estimate of the cost of this
I line (roan the mites of my old survey, and I am
satisfied that $200,000 is amply sufficient to
build a atibetantial and serviceable road between
these two places.
The present is a most favorable time for the
1 undertaking. Money is plenty, and Rail Road
stocks are beginning to be regarded every
' w here as the best possible investment for nap.
I stab—better than bank stock—better than real
'estater4tetter, irOehart, than t bny other invest
ment knows. There is note Red Road in the
coon try,: even. of Aimee which Were most ex
travagantly nonattec d ati, Nu does not pay at
least Upr tent.; a some as high a. 10 and
10 per cent., pn the actual cost. It' is true,
many raids are de,ly in, debt, and ;heir (stock
is worth little or n6thint; but their revenues
all show a fair per tentage on the cost of con
struction.
The construction of roads is now so well
understood by' contractors that there is no 'diffi
culty in getting them built out and out for a
round sum. and there has risen up a set of
wealthy contractors, who are always ready to
invert their capital in works of this kind.
which they believe will pay when done; tind
the right way. Indeed the only way, to con
vince them of this is to show confidence in it
yourselves. by subscribing liberally to the
stock.
Only let the chitlins of this place and neigh
borhood take a lamb amount of stock—say one
half.--and there will be no difficulty in finding
contractors to take the other half of the stock.
Let them raise 8110.000, in sums sufficiently
large to show that, they consider them as in
vestments, and not mere donations, and the re
maining sloo,ooo.will not be long wanting. •
And purely the Irounty of Adams can raise
this amount. If itis citizens could only see, as
I have seen, the altonishing change which a
Rail Road makes in every community into
which it penetrates, thty would come forward
to a mac, and live every cent they could raise,
rather than let the roject fail.
ill
For my part. if owned a house and lot in
Gettysburg, I won d not hesitate to mortgage
it for half it was worth, and invest the money
in this enterprise. And I should expect to make
money by it; for itt two years the road would
be made end paying 10 per cent. I could then
sell my stook to pay off the mortgage, and
have my house clear again, and worth more
than it was before.
I have made an estimate this morning, with
the assistance of some of the business men of
the place, of the ptobable revenue of this work
when finished to Hanover.
We have taken an area extending four miles
east, four miles south, eight miles west, and
eight miles north, containing in round numbers
100,000 acres, or ahout 1000 farms of 100 acres
each ; and, we have supposed that each farmer
would hare about 5 tons of hay to sell, malt
ing 5000 tons per annum—having sole his hay,
the farmer would be able to invest the mop
ey in lime. so much needed, and so cerlairt‘td‘
increase the product of his farm. This would
give us 500,000 bushels. The other agricul
tural sroducts of the county which world be
sent fo market, I hive put down as equal to the
hay, certainly a low estimate.
From the Iron works in the mountains we
get 500 tons of Iron. And the granite we sup
pose would load one car per day, It could hard
ly do less than this, which would give 2000
tons per year.
W hen fire wood has reached $3,00 per cord,
as it is said to have done here, coal at $6,00
per too is greatly preferable. We therefore as
sume 1000 tons of coal as the least probable
consumption of Gettysburg and vicinity.
A passenger train relining one car twice a
day, and carrying only fifteen passengers each
'trip, a small number when we consider the
number of public institutions . in this vicinity,
would give an aggregate of 18.000 passengers
yearly. These we have charged at sixty cents,
which is below the charge of the Hanover
I branch for the same distance. In this way we
hare compiled the following table, charging
the tonage et $l,OO, a very fair average for the
articles enumerated :
5000 tons of Hay.
5000 " other Agricultural Products
2000 " Granite.

Mail service, 700
Deduct one third, (a very large allow
ance,) for elpesses and repairs,
Nett revenue, $20,000
Or ten per cent. on the estimated coat.
In confining my remarks to the Hanover
connexion, I have no desire to exclude the eon• '
sidemtion of others. I have spoken of it as the
nearest and easiest of attainment, but if I have
any partiality, it is for my old line, through
Abbottstown and Oxford, the route of which I
traced with my aye as I rode along yesterday
morning, with feelings of regret that a work
which I had taken such pains to render perfect,
should never have leen realized ; but, most of
all, are my feelings called forth for this my
ancient home, the town of Gettysburg, the
scene of my earliest professional labours, in
whose prosperity I have ever since taken the
warmest interest, and greatly shel I rejoice if
what I have now slid, shall in any way con-
tribute to that desirable object.

The Tribune is recommended to its readers
whose berm•of subscription are now expiring as a
weekly compend of current history in every de.

and avows convictions, but it was never the
slave of Party, and will be even more independent
in the future than it has been in the past. It
cares nothing for a party ascendancy save as it
may be rendered subservient to public good. And
while it will continue to present and discuss what
ever bears upon National or mend
it will devote more attention than hitherto to the
progress of Invention, of Material Improvement,
and of whatever conduces to the Industrial Pro
gress and Physical comfort of mankind. We
hope to make this a prominent feature of our pa

Ericson's Caloric Engine.
picr.From the experiments lately made
in New York with the trial boat Ericson,
propelled by this newly-invented Engine,
there is hardly a doubt of its entire suc
cess. If so, the invention will justly be
regarded as one of the most important of
the age, perhaps the greatest since the in
vention of the Locomotive. The complete
revolution which its introduction must ne
cessarily cause in motive power, both at
sea and on land, in stationary and locomo
tive Engines, is wonderful to anticipate—
supplanting almost entirely the prelient ex
tensive application of steam. The follow
ing are the advantages claimed for the
Caloric Engine, as stated by the N. York
Home Journal :
$30,000
I. The Caloric Engine burns about
one-tenth as much fuel as a steam engine;
hence a caloric ship of the largest size may
circumnavigate the globe without stopping
to take on coal ; hence, ndt a sail will be
seen on the ocean in fifty years after the
success of the new principle is certain ;
hence, machinery will be applied to a thou
sand arts which now require manual la
bor ; hence, the possibility of that long de
sired machine plough ; and ;lone°, the rap.
id coming of that goott time_ when arduous
manual toil will absolutely cease under the
sun.
Total value of
2. The cost of the Caloric Engine is a
bout the same as the steam engine, minus
the cost of the boilers.
3. Only one-foufth as many engine men
will be required on board a Caloric ship
as are necessary for a steamer.
4. No smoke whatever will issue from
a Caloric furnace when anthracite is used,
and consequently no huge, and unsightly
smoke-pipe will be necessary, and the
rigging will be as clean as that of a sailing
ship.
s." Ther e can be no bursting or collaps
ing of boilers, for the simple reason that
there will be no boilers to burst. The
worst accident that can happen to a Calot
ic Engine is for it to stop ; nor is watch.
fulness imperatively required, as in no
case can a dangerous accident occur. •
0. Owing to the extreme simplicity of
the Calorie Engine, the wear and tear will
he very slight, and the duration of the en.
girls' proportionally long.
Although the Ericsson is not yet entire
ly finished, so , that the invention eau be
fully and fairly tested, still it is said to
have already surpassed the moat sanguine
expectations of ice author and friends.—
Besides, two stationary ,engines, on this
principle, have been at work in a factory in
New York, for a considerable time and
found to answer the purse admirably—l
'fiestas, from their success, originated the
idea of propelling a boat. after the , same
manner of motive power. Several gentle
men, accordingly, contributed some $BOO,-
000 to - build a boat of two thousand tons
burthen, which they very appropriately
called "Ericsson," to test the new princi
ple, on a scale that would bo satisfactory
to the whole.
The, Ericsson. Propellei goes • into the
Dock at N. York to be coppered in the
course of this week. Be? trial trip will
take place as soon *a that is delta. The

Geothimse—Adams county, frith as area. of
680 square miles, and with upwards of $ 9 ,000,-
000 value of property—with a favored natural
position—with great thieral resources—with a
teeming soil, and au ighstrious, labor-loving po
pulation, presents, in history, the sorry picture of
not having, within her boundary, one rod of either
.ailveay or canal in • linished condition; and,
strange as it may seem, she, with the example of
what railways and canals have done for other
places, and districts before her, does not seem to
possess sufficient appreciation of the public weal
to induce a general co-operation upon the part of
her citizens to accomplish a few miles of an im
provement which would so greatly enhance her
industrial interests; this is culpable, and highly
so; when we cohrider that 00,t00,000 of dollars
have been expended by Pennsylvania and Penn
sylvanians in the erection of improvements which
havq served rather to cause us to retrograde than
advance; but it is time we should purge ourselves
from our impurities, and step forth with new and
life-giving blood circulating actively in our veins.
The day is now in which we should feel very
shame at the unwise, end, to ourselves, unjust
course of policy which we have pursued in allow
ing so many years to go by without at least striv
ing to place ourselves upon a basis proper to facil
itate general intercourse, and effect ■ speedy and
economical means of interchanging thip products
of our county for these of others, or of converting
them into cash ; and II that course of policy con
continues, all of enterprise we now have will be
driven from within our borders—citizens who dee.
pise to drone their lives away in snaillike inac
tivity, will remove to regions where scope can be
given to their energy, and the county lose all ben
efits derivable from the employment of a vest
amount of capital elsewhere, which should, legit
imately, be engaged at home.
It is through the agency of capital and its di
verse employment, that exchange of commodities,
mid their conversion into cash is produced; but
this can only be done, to any considerable extent,
where there are opportunities efforded for capital
to operate; and all practice, all experience, all
history show that capitalists strive to locate and
engage in business in the neighborhood of rail
ways, canals, or navigable streams, (which are
nature's railways) from the simple fact that there
ran be had in such neighborhoods, a vastly more'
extensive and profitable emplovnient of their
means than in places not similarly blest; and
experience has further shown that, beyond ques
tion, an exchange of comnoxlities, and their pro
fitible conversion into cash, are the first gnat re
sults arising front public improvements. end that,
in their neighborhoods, as they run, and ramify
through all their various windings, a multitude oil
trades spring into activity. which in their turn of
ford employ tneutto man and beast to an indefinite
extent, and create consumers, not producers of the
products of the soil; and just in proportion as you
increase the consumers of the products of the
soil, will agriculture become profitable. Hence it
is, that in the region of marimactories, and com•
mercial towns, agriculture repays, the farmer find
ing there a certain market for all the products of
his soil at remunerating prices, and hence it is,
moo, that land near those places sells so enor•
alimony high , for just in proportion an you near
flee farmer to market. ydu biereaie the value of
his land—a natural consequence. for land, within
two hours travel of market, is worth just as much
more as hind that is four hours travel therelrom—
the difference in dietetic° being equal to 100 per
cent., all other things being equal. In the neigh
borhood of Harrisburg, nine years ago, land de
voted to the raising of garden products, brought
an annual rent of twenty-five dollars the acre,
noir, land there, employed in the same way, brings
an annual rent of fifty dollars the acre, making it,
every acre, equal to an invested capital of 118331,
bearing an interest of six per cent. per annum, •
fact, showing conclusively, the effect produced by
public improvements to be • rapid increase of pop-
illation, and consequently of cossioncrs. Now,
bring Adams County within a few boors travel of
market, or, which is the same thing, to the home!
of the consumer, and like results will follow.—
Peaches, which are grown so abqndantly, and of 1
so fine • quality, in the northern and western
parts of our county, would, instead of 12i cents
the bushel, bring, readily, from 40 cents to 75 cts.
the basket of three pecks, and that by the crop
too. Apples w.,uld bring from 11l 50 to f. 3 00 the
barrel; potatoes, onions, beets, cabbages, tomatoes,
carrots, parsnips, In short, all garden products I
would find ready sale at remunerating prices.—
Again, the people beuefitted in this way, would
spread themselves user the country and form new
and prosperous communities, attracting the anen•
thin of capitalists, and affording legitimate chan
nels for the employment of their means; and as
population would increase, lands would be subdi
vided—farms would be lessened in extent, build
ings and other improvements would be erected,
personal property would increase, sad those farms,
being so lessened, would be rapidly fertilized, and
consequently increased in value, which would tend
inevitably to decrease the burdens of taxation, for
the government of the county and of the State re
giiite but a certain amount of money to defray
their expenses, and the greater the number of in
dividuals is from whom thai amount is to be re
ceived, and the more valuable their possessions,
the less burdensome will it prove to each. In the
eleven years that have expired since the comple
tion of the railway from- Wrightsville to Balti
more,. via York, Adams county has sent to the
latter place at least 75 wagons per week, each trip
of which cost, in laid out money, moderately es
timeling, $6 • weekly cost to the
county of $875, or an annual cost of $10,500, in
in getting her surplus products to market. Now,
to this we must add the time lost in going to,and
returning from York; we must also add the ex
pense incurred at home in keeping . wsgons and
borsatnecessary to draw those wagons; for, with I
• railway near him, **farmer can dispense with
hie road-tvagon, and all horses more than eutil
dent to plow and till his ground. This we will
estimate to have been an mud expense of $5,.
000—510,500 sod $5,000', are 1124,500, in amount
which the county, collectively eppaking, has been
forced for eleven years Oast; to deduct from her
item of profit, and which at the
. prinaint time,
moonlit to the enormous sum of $270,500, sum.

The Rail Hoard.
M MILL EDITORII.-•-•A • the subject of the Rail

may be suffered (having the occasio9 yan - t
ogy,) to make • low suggestions, if he, cant&
contribute much of "the needful," towards the,
success of the movement.. some things have oc
curred to my mind, and perhaps to othereoebich,
may prove useful hints in tbs effort now being
made In our borough to rain ouch • contribution
of stock no will he liberal and honorable, earthy;
its example provoke liberality in all parts of the
County.
Before this article VIII be read, net last than
021,000 of stock will, I hope, be bbbscribed us
our Borough. But that is not all that can be
done, It strikes me.
First. then, the great majority of citizens in ale
town are of moderate means—nutty of them me
chanics, who, at the end of the year, hive buelit
tle surplus. Now, upon these I depend to roll up
the big end of the subscription, ihes t hope, It will
go near $30,000. Let each young man, twiny
citizen with a strong right arm, industry and beeith
—take one share, $5O, and some $5,000 will be
added to to the subscription. Every one will have
pride in having done soineffitim. as he may
be able, for the Huil-Itoad—and to this end shedd
not the Commis/miners take subscriptions of half
shares of $25 Many who could not tali, e
whole, would take a half share. r feel confident
that our mechanics and men of small meaticwill
not be behind in this great eaterprise. some of
them have already done nobly.
'Phan, there are the Inetitutione in our town.
Every body expects them to contribute liberally.
lan dthat those connected with them will show that
education makes men liberal and enlarges their
Ipublic spirit. Much has been said of the itupor
lance of these institutions, in a pecuniary point
01•10 w, to our citizens, find with tt ugh. Hut our
citizens have now shown that they realize this—
their contributions are very significant of that.—
Now let the Institutions be liberal—let the Col
lege subscribe at least $2,000, and the Seminary
$l,OOO. The College especially has been suffer
ing for want of a Hail Hoed communication with
the world. Let it have it, and its abundant suc
fees* Is secured and established. Hut Met:allege
is also becoming able. Only a few days ago a
Professorship wasendowed with 17,000 Another
Professorship is also fast being endowed. Why
then should not these institutions also subscribe
liberally The community looks for it.
Thou there is the Bank. The "community na
turally looks to it fora liberal subscription. The
Bind, whilst constructing, and when constructed,
must increase its business and prosperity. That
institution also has a considerable amount of Real
Estate. and in desirable localities, which must be
much enhanced in value by the Road. It is ob
vious, at a glance. that it id to be greatly benefit
ed.. Let it then imitate the worthy example set
by ita liberal-spirited Cashier. It had a reputa
tion with the community, and all eyes will be
on it.
Then again there is the County Farm and buil
dings, in our midst, which call for a proper con
tribution for stock frum the County fund. Fuel
for the Alms-house, Jail, Court-house, dtc,, is a
very large item. Wood is becoming scarce.—
Much money has been expended by the Directors
of the Poor in the purchase of woodland. Econ.
only would be realized in the substitution of coal,
which, when we have the Rail Read, would re
duce the expenses of fuel vastly. The Rail Road,
too, would inmate, the facility and reduce the ex
pense of removing convicts to the Penitentiary,
&e. But the great gain would be in the miner
of lime. Oar public 'farm is now suffering for
want of it. Build the Rail Read, and by-its con
s•riletion and by the application of lime, the value
of that farm will become two-fold what it is now,
and what is more. its productiond may be doubled ;
thus obviating the present large purchases of bread
stuff*, provisions, &c., which the mutesl accounts
exhibit.
Will not the County fund give a a fair egh.
scription 7 To the extent that it will be benefit..
ted, the right to do it exists.
Certainly the Borough has commenced liberal
ly. Five or wiz citizens have subscribed $100')
each. There are yet some who, it is hoped, will
come up to that mark. Others have done more
liberally aceonling to their mean.: A leur hive
not—but they are chiefly on the track of the con
templated Rail Rond—and it is perhaps more to
the interest of the public that they have not. Of
coprse it is to be expected that when the ptOper
officers of the Rail Road come to locate it through
town, these gentlemen will have to pay sornerion
wads if (hewed is to he laid by or through their
property. Tbit fund' will thus
Even our people of color are evlneing Ate pre
vailing spirit of liberality. A respectable colored
man (5 boaller,) subscribes *lOO, end others will
also subscribe.

to add to this article the pieeise sum eubearlbed in
the borough before your next prom Immo.

THE PRESIDENCY.—The N. York
Tribune says that "some speculation is a
float in respect to the effect of the death of
both the President and Vioe President,"
and remarks:
.•The Constitution provides no further
than this : that on the death of the Presi
dent, the Vice President shall fill his place.
It also providos further, however, that on
the death of both, Congress shall appoint
one of its own officers to discharge the
functions of President. Acting under
this power, Congtess did, in 1792, enact
that in the event of the demise of both
President and Vice President, a dew elec
tion for these Officers should be held in
the following December, and thit the
President and Vice President then elected,
should hold their offices for four years
from the 4th of March next coming. It
further provided that in the interim between
the death of one President and the election
of another, the President of the Senate pro
tempore shall serve as President ; and in
case of a vacancy in that office, that tho
' functions of the Chief Magistrate shall de
volve upon the speaker of the House. Be
yond this, no provision is made."
FEATS OF THE CHINESE JUOGLERIL-
A correspondent of the Lowell Vox Ninth
thus describes one of the performances of
the Chinese jugglers in San Franciseo :
A plank sixteen inches wide and six feel
high was placed at the back of the stage,
and the impaler with knives took his stand
about fifteen or twenty feet in front of it.
The knivesswere about eeven•ineh blades,
anti four inch handles, strong and pointed.
After playing with them fora time. tossing
and whirling them in a most wonderful
manner, ho threw one after another, fasten
ing them firmly in the plank before him.
He then drew them out, and another Chi
naman took his stand before the plank, or
rather at the side of it, holding amino arm
across the same, and the impaler threw
one knife above and another below it, as
closely as they could have been placed
there by the most careful hand, completely
lassening li:s arm upon the plank. The
other arm was then reached across and
tautened in the same way, the knives sticking
firmly and the handlescrossing each other.
The Chinaman then reached forward hie
head. arid quick as thought the two knives
were one above and the oilier
below the ueek.seemingly within one-futirth
of an inch on either side. Such precision
and daring was truly wonderful, and the
whole evening's preformance elicited un
bounded applause.

NOT Vits' HAD.—The Detroit Tribune
tells of a genileman who was salmi; at the
table-of a very excellent lady who had
stewed pears on the table. He took up
one of them, and clapping it in his mouth,
pulled at the stem to get it out and leave
the pear in hie' mouth, but it was no go.—
Alter twiehnig of it two or three tunes he
gave it up in despair, and dropping it upon
Iris plate, remarked that the skin was put
in tight. On examination, however, he
found thepear to he nothing more nor less
than a 140118 e, which had unfortunately got

The decision is elaborate, and fully re

sinners, acting for the Canal Company, to
lease the carrying of passengers over the
State road. It further denies the right of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
attach ears designed for the accommoda
tion and travel of passengers. The deci
sion, in all respects, fully sustains the
claims of the Canal Commissioners.—
This case has been pending a considerable
time, and the result looked for with much
