Wektern Inland Navigation.—What a
Change.—A N.Y. paper has a highly inter
eating article on this subject from which
we glean the following. Before the in
- duction of Steam—Navigation, upon the
about the year 1817, the trade
: "• of the upper Mississippi and Missouri
scarcely existed; and the whole upward
commerce of New Orleans was conveyed
in about twenty barges of one hundred
tons each, and making but one trip a year;
so that each yoyage was iu those days,
equivalent to what an East India or China
voyage is now. On the upper Ohine
hundred and fifty keel boats y
ed, each of the burthen of thirt;
making ttips to and fro between LiArlaville
and Pittsburgh, three times a year. The
. ,
0
s .
r,
entire tonnage of the boats moving on the
1;4.. Ohio and loser Mississippi was then a
bout six thousand five hundred tons. In
1834, the Steam navigation of the Missis.
sippi had-ritenic 230 buts, and a tonnage
of 39,000,-wltile about 90,000 persons
were estimated to be employed in the
- . trade, either as crlWs, builders, wood,/
• . :cutters, or loaders of vessels. In 1542,
the navigation was as follows: There
were 150 steamers, averaging each 200
. - tons, and making an aggregate tonnage of
-=''' . So,ooo,•so that it has a good deal mare
than d.mb'ed in eight years. Valued at
• *BO the ton, they cost above $7,000.000,
and are navigated by nearly 16,000 per
suns, at thirty.five to each. Beside these
steamers, there are about 4,000 flatboats,
which cost about $lO5, are managed by
five hands apiece ( .r 20,000 persons,) and
make au annual expense of $1,380,000.
The estimated annual expense of the
steam navigation, including 15 per cent.
for wear and tear, is $13,618,000. If in
1334 they employed an aggregate of 90,-1
000 persons, ,they must now at least 1.80,.!
000.
A Stranger found Murdered.
On the 4th inst. near Sparta, Tenn.,
BOMB men were out with their hounds on
the chase, when tbeir attention was attrac
ted by the barking of the pack in a gap
oftbe mountain; they immediately repair
ed to the spot and found in asmall sink the
carcase of a horse,which had been quarter
,lsti and thrown in. Curiosty being excited,
they extended their search and found in
the snow the body of a man in his shirt
sleeves; a stab above the right hip ranging
upward some distance, appeared to
_be
the cause of his situation; he was still
breathing, but unable to articulate, he was
carried to a neighboring house and soon
expired. His persoralt ) i:tg unknown to
those who found hintiolley repaired again_
to the scene of his murder, and after some
search found a very flue suit of clothes,
though nothing by which the name and
character of the unfor tunate traveler could
be ascertained.

The People of this state are making spir•

strug,:le between the ft iends of republican
institutions and the aristocratic supp , riers
of the royal Charter, on the sth of next
month. There is a spirit of confidence in
all their preparations which augurs well
for success, and induces us to believe that
it will be full and complete. They say
that the discussions of the principles of free
government and human rights, for the past
year, and the outrageous critidnet oh the
Whigs of Rhode Island, dui ing that period,
have opened the eyes of the candid of all
parties; and while they prompt the oppres.

on cool reflection, t. 3 abandon the cause of
the oppressor, whose prwer is sustained by
the sword, and to come over nod net with
those who are now most heartily and disin

The Charter Election in New York, is
opening up beautifully, and coonisin is left
with scarcely a hole to creep into. In
Rochester, the democrats have Carried the
city, with the exception of one or two un
important offices. They have elected their
Mayor by over 260 majority, and their
marshal( by about 350. They 4 have done
nobly.
Brighton, Gates, Henrietta, and S weed
en have also given Democratic majorities.
Chenango county, as far as heard from
has given Democratic majorities. Our
gain, thus far, is over two hundred.
Fulton county is democratic, and no mis
take; the result is that eight towns give dem •
ocratic majorities; and two, u hi!. In one
of these where the Whig majority is usually
four hundred, the democrats had nearly
proved triumphant.
De hurter, Madison county, and West;
port, Essex county, have given increased
Demoratic majotities. Such is the glori. l
ous success of the cause of the people. We
record the result of the election in Roches.

CANAL COAI.III99tnNE:IIB' ROOX,
Ilarrinburg, March 9, 1843.
lion. DENJ entFrlN,
Spedker of the Senalc
Sir:—The B eardhave the acltn:.w
-led•re the receipt of the following resolution of the
Senate, of the 6 It last.
'RosolveJ, That the Canal Commissioners he re
quested to inform the Senate, what construction
they give to their resolutions on the subject of
motive power and charges Ibr ti4e of trucks, as
published with their rates of toll; stating whether
section boats, when used upon the Portage or Co
lumbia Railroads, arc intended to be classed as
burden cars and charged with motive power and
tyll as such, or whether the charge as fixed fur
the use of trucks is intended to exclude all charge
for motive power and toll on wheels.'
I urn directed to state in reply that it was not
acitainly intended to give such a construction to
the resolution fixing the 'charges for the use of
Trucks' as would subject them to tolls on the
-wheels for use of motive power. But instead of
charging wheel tolls upon trucks owned by the
State, it is designed to charge 50 cents per ton
on the Allegheny portage, and 75 cents per ton
on Columbia raiiroads, 'Mr the use of the trin
in addition to the regular tolls, for all the goods
and products wl!ich shall be convt y..d in section
boats, transported upon state trucks.
The trucks arc the property of the Stat. , ; the
wheels are a part and portion of the truck; they
are run upon the State roads by Stave machinery,!
are e.,ndueted by hands empl yed by the State;
and t is cone -level that it kv,,u!d be quite as ab
surd to charge motive power wheel tolls upon
them, as it would to charge tolls upon the wheels
al the locomotives and tenders which are used to
transport them. They are all and everything ap
pertaining to them, the property of the State; and
it. appears to the B tard, that it would be quite as
reasonable to charge tells upon castings, stone,
ti arbor and caner materiale owne I by the State,
and conveyed for the use and repair of the *State
improvements as to charge motivJ power wheel
tolls upon its cars, tenders or engines.
flaying given this construction to the terms of
the resolution of the Board, it is deemed proper to
state that the charge of 50 cents per ton upon the
Allegheny Portage Railroad, and of 75 cents per
ton upon the Colombia Railroad in lieu of motive
power wheel tolls 'for the use of the trucks,' is on
extra charge upon the tonage in section boats pas
sing over the Railroads upon the State truck—and
that no such ( h rge is ever made upon goods pas—
sing iii the usual and ordinary mode, either in cars
or car barites owned by individuals or companies;
but instead offing charge they pay wheel tolls.—
li will he seen that these wheel tolls on a cargo
of goods of thirty tons amounts to less than one
half the sum charged for the use of the truck on a
cargo of the some amount.
On a cargo 01 3U tons iraFaing the
ny Portage- Rail Rnad, the charge for
the use of the truck is $l5OO
The charge for wheel toll.; (motive pow
er) on -thlt road is only
Expenses rf seetioa boats over the present
mode of Transportation $7,80
On a 'cargo,ol3o tons passing the Colutrt.
dist Railroad, the charge for the use of the
State truck is $22 50
The charge for wheel tolls (motive power)
on that road, from which the State truck
is exempt,
EArnses of section boats over the present
mode of Transportation, $l2 66
But in order to simplify this matter, and to
prevent any misunderstanding on the subject, the
following assessment is made on a section boat
passing the mountain railroad on Site trucks
with a cargo of three hundred barrel's of flour,
viz:
Toll on 300 barrels floor, 63,600 lbs„ 36
miles, 5 mills per 1000 lbs, is $ll 45
Motive power on flour, 36 miles, 10 mills
per 1000 lbs., is V. 90
Railway toll un cat (or wheel') 1 44
Charge 'for use of trucks' over the Alleghe
ny Portage Railroad, " 15 90
Total charge on one section boat load. $5l 69
On the earns cargo from Columbia to Philadel
phia'
Toll 300 barrels flour, 63,600 lbs., 82 miles
5 mills per 1000 lbs., is $26 08
Mutivo power on flour, 82 mi'es, 6 mills
per 1000 lbs.. is 31 29
Road toll on car (or wheels) 3 28
Charee fur use of trucks over the Columbia
Rail road, 23 85
Total charge on one aection boat load, $Bl 50
The above includes all the charges end tolls
posed by the resolutions, a construction upon
which is called for the Senate. Thus it will be
seen, that section boats taken to the State trucks
with full loads, "pay much more than the same a.
went of tonnage, passing over ocr railroads in
the ordinary way in cars subject lo motive power
wheel tolls,and which arc owned by companies or
in liv•duals.
It is Le I eyed to Le pryer, and due to the Sen
ate to state, that this Board consider it their dirty
to listen respectfully and the examine attentively,
ell the claims presented for their consideration,
touching every subject, whether of public or pri
vate interest. But the demands which have been
made upon this Board, to add to the already hea
vy expenses charged a section boat for the use of
the trucks. by charging them also with motive
power wheel tolls, is manifestly too extravagant
end unreasonable to be entertained or seriously
listened to. It would render the State trucks
useless to the trade, and a dead less to the State;
it will ruin many men wh) have embarked in the
enterprise of becoming carriers upon our public
work,, by throwing their stock upon their hands
perfectly worthless. It will destroy competition
fir the trade on our improvements, and the only
system by which it was expected to overcome the
difficulties thrown in the way of trade from the
mixed character or our improvements, will be en
tirely defeated. The business and travel and rev
enue um our public works in'tead of increasing
will in all probability be diminish-d by throwing
the State trucks idle; and, our itnorovements must
for another term of years be sustained and kept
11,1 at an enormous exnense of the many for the
almost exclusive benefit of a few.
I have the honor to be
