Haute, 90; thence to the month of Tinre

canoe, 140; thence to the mouth of Little river, 100; thence to its source, 80 miles. The place of its entrance into the Ohio is 195 miles west of its head waters, and 225 miles south of its most northerly bend, near Fort Wayne. This noble stream i from two to five hundred vaids in breadth

: for 330 miles. It has been for some months j past, and may gcnernllv for near half the

year be navigated that distance by steam-

j boats of the ordinary size, and there will I be no difficulty in their ascending still farther when the settlement of the late purchase shall commence and afford them employment. The projected canal, that ! is to connect this,stream with the Maumee, and by that river with the Lake Erie, will no doubt be provided for at the next session of the Legislature, and when that ! work shall be completed, there can be as I little doubt, but that a large proportion of

the intercourse hetween the Mississippi and the Lakes will pass aloe.; this channel. The upper part of the Wabash, which is now one vast wilderness, wiii, before ten years have passed away, become the most busy and populous pat ts of Indiana. Here

The summit level bei tween these stream- is said not to exceed

10 feet anovp trie bed ol either. The Saiamonie and Misissineway from the U(h and Fel rivers from the north, which next enlarge the Wabash, are from 50 to 80 yds in width, and from 80 to 100 miles- in length, a'l -f which flow remarkably puru an J very llu-h, evon in the driest seasons.

By an inspection of Mellisirs Map of the United States, it will be seen, that the city of Baltimore the mouth of the little Kenhawa, on the left bank of the Ohi Chillicothe; Hamilton, on the great Mi

country, perhaps, on the f.ce of the Globe. If, however, upon examination, it should be thought best to deviate from a straight line, in the location of this road, west from Chillicothe, so as to strike tiie Miami Val ley at a point higher up than Hamilton, I would suggest that Dayton, situated at the confluence of Mad Biver, with tin Great Miami, be the point of iriterecrii. The local position of that town, both with regard to its surrounding country, and the immense water power which it commands

makes it a point ol great connueravion,

It is an admitted maxim in political economy, that in proportion a the means of intercourse are increased, and the avenues to commerce are opened, just in the same ratio will the trade of the country be nug mented, and new objects of commercial enterprise be created. This road, therefore, notwithstanding its proximity to the Ohio river, and iU coming in collision with the canal now making from that river to Lake Erie, will neither interfere with their appropriate branches of trade, or be the means of lessening its amount to the value of one dollar. It will seek of itself, and create, by virtue of its own existence, the whole amount of the trade which shall pass over it: and be instrumental, in the end, in ureatly enlarging the commerce of those two great avenues tojthe ocean. Should the hasty views, here presented of this hiehlv interesting proiect, claim

the consideration of the board which has

been already organized to conduct the i ' i: j i. r i?..;i n-wt

i o-ro.il anil soieuuiu worn ui .'

from the city of Baltimore to the Ohio;&

should thev wish to obtain the aid at addi

tional facts and opinions, in relation to the

immense advantages which would result to Baltimore; the increasing profits of the stock which ha already been invested, and the farther advantages to capitalists in making additional investments, with a view to an extension of this great highway, Westward, they are respectfully referred to the Hon. Messrs. Vinton, of Gal liopolis, Crcighton, in Chillicothe, Vance, ofUrbana, Wood, of Hamilton, and M'-

gar creek, While and Patoka rivers, which rise in Indiana, and Vermillion, Emhat ras and Little Wabash, in Illinois. The whole country watered by the Wabash and its branches, contains more than 25,000 sq. miles, of which four-fifths are in Indiana, the residue in Illinois. Near the mouth of White river is the only considerable obstruction to the navition of the Wabash. Fifteen miles of rapids prevent the passage ef large boats in low water; but the whole distance, it is believed, might be canalled for an espenso perhaps not esceedin the averao rate of the cost of the Ohio and Nen-Yor!: canalr.

Salt. We are happy to hear, says the Boston Palladium, that the salt manufacturers of Barnstable county have been pursuing a good business The salt is improved in quality and we understand, is found to answer for every purpose. The projection of the whole country into the ocean gives it the purest water. W have heard that the salt is of the hcavh kind.
