"Col. De Rusty ol the Iuiiana Regiment,
has been for some weeks past engaged in sur
veying and clearing t steamboat channel through
one of the mouths of the Tamasi river, about
three miles above thiatown, and it ia expected
that the work will be completed to-morrovs.
This is a frreat improvement, both in a military

jertors of the Central Rail Road sre beginning to
r-Iise some of the predictions nf the friends of
ihe loute through the valley of the West Branch
of ihe S iiqurlisuna. In the North American of
the 9th inst.. appears a letter from Harrisburg,
disrlosing: a schrme by w hich the Northern and
! Western trade is to be diverted fiom Philadrl-
s-hia to f.altimure. The plan of the Baltimore-
I an is lo commenre at Wrightsville, the termi-
nus of the Baltimore and Suf quehsuna r. road.
I Slid rorstriirt a rail road on the wrstrm hank ol
ths river to a paint opposite Maiiette, where
thy cron the stream and proce.d to tap the
Harrisburg and Lancaster road, at or near Mid
dletown. Ty thia route, Paltirr.ore ia distant
from the point of divergence about 70 miles,
while Philadelphia is 100.
Perhaps the good ritirens of Philadelphia have
net forgotten that a Rail Road Convention was
held, by the friends of the West Branch route,
about a year aeo, in the Chinese Museum in that
city, and that it was there ststed by several ef
the speakera. that if the rail road from Tittaburg
to Philadelphia crossed the Susquehanna at a
point nearer to Baltimore than Philadelphia, the
trade would certainly be diverted to the former
place. Thia their own common sense would
hae taught the Pbitadelphiana, if they had al
lowed one moment for reflection. But ao deter
mined were they to construct their road alen
the hanks nf a canal, which it itself sufficient to
do all the business now offered, that they heeded
neithrr reason or argument. They were told
that the West Branch route, both to Erie anil
Pittsburg, was the most advantageous one, not
only on account of the facility and economy with
which it could be made, but also the immense
resources ol the north western portion of our
State, that it would develop; besides posses
sing Ihe anditieral and great advantage, that it
could not be tapped by New York or Baltimore
for a diversion ef the trade and travel. We can
not sympsthiie with rhiladelpbisna in being
thus forced lo divide tht western trade with Bal
timore, and the north western with New York.
Her citizens rushed into the scheme blindly end
regardless of consequences, and now Ibey are
just beginning to aes the result of Ibeir folly.
His nomination has been urged by influ
ential men from various aectiona of the State,
and from what I ran learn, it would be received
with almost entire satisfaction by he Bar in the
district, snd I trust the Governor, will not per
mit ulter ior motivet to prevent him from mak
ing an appointment that would be satisfactorily
received by all concerned.
The Governor is still too feeble to appear in
the executive chamber, tut I understand hia
health is gradually and slowly improving The
law, making the Judiciary elrctivr, which pat
ted Ihe Senate by a large majority, hat not yet
been acted on in the House, tf it doet not past
the House now, it mast, necessarily, I think, be
come a law hereafter ; for aucb ia the piogret
live tendency of the age, and the example of
New York haa great weight with many w ho have

good policy or not, I may discuss another time.
