*v feel a peculiar satisfaction, (says the Brookvilte paper,} in bantu it in our power to announce the arrival, ia this town, of a brigade ol United States Engineers, detached by the War Department tor the purpose effcctiag surveys and estimates, lor the proposed canals ia this state. Tho Chief Sn gineer, James Shriver, Esq. will, on Saturday nest, in this place, meet the Board of Directors aud Commissioners tor the White water Canal. After ivhich, as Mr. Shriver tnlorms as, he inteods viaiting the sources of the

W liiti -aater, tor the purpose of sscertaiuiitg where the best tuplies of water may be obtained, and the most* promising route for connecting the Whitewater and Waoaeh canats—to fix on a summit level, and acquiresuch other knowledge ®f the actual eitnation of the coautry as may be necessary tor the commencing of effective operations

Whether the survey will be*com meced at Lawrencebargh, or the Notrhern extremity of the canal route, is yet undetermined: wa think however, from some remarks of the engineer, that the former will be the starting point.

DISTRESSING INTELLIGENCE! An unfortunate orcurtence took place in this cotpfy, 2 or S miles below fUchmond, on Wedneday evening Isst The particulas, as far as we have beared are tht se A number of persons were engaged in raising a Frame Barn and while in the set of raising one of the bents, which was nearly accomplished, from some cause, unknown to us. the timbers gave way, and the whole mass precipitated to the ground, killing, in its fall, one of the gentlemen instantly, wounding one mortally, and another severely. We are sorry to learn that the gentleman who was thus hurried into etijnity, was one of our best citi%ens, J«4ge Devenport. We weie informed last evening that Mr. John WiUams, who had one of his thighs crush to pieces, survived but two or threw hours. The other gentleman, Mr. Koonts, is likely to recover.
