- - Washington, May 24ri, 1 826. '. Siu : We are ordered by the Engineer Department, to forward to you the following instructions relative to the surveys of Canals to be pei formed, under your direction, in the State of Indiana A resolution of the Senate under date of Janua'y 10, 1826, and two communications to the I Ion. the Sccrctaty at War, specify the surveys which are lobe executed : copies of the documents arc herewith annexed. You will have not only to perform the surveys but also, to make the plans Sc estimates of tl.c Canals : two copies must be made, one for the President of the U. Sta cs, one for the Governor of the State

of Indiana. Both must be forwarded to ; the Engineer Department. The objects i

contemplated by the resolution of the Senate, are comprehended in the following

. items. j 1st. To ascertain the practicability of j uniting by a canal, the waters of Lake Michiro.n with the Wabash River. Two O routes must be examined and reported. , The first would ascend the valley of St. Joseph River, (of the Lake) to leave it at a convenient point near the Kankakee Ri vcr ; then it would cross to this stream, to descend its valley down to the mouth of Yellow River, thence up the same to a point frem which a cross canal could be run to Tippecanoe River. From thence the roufc descends this stream and then the Wabash to head of steam-boat navigation. The other route would acend the valley of St. Joseph River (of the Lake) up to one of its head branches Irom thtr.ee to the fo1 k formed by St. Joseph and St. Mary's Rivers, then from that poire, thro the va!ilcy of Little River to the Wab.ish. ns far down as the head of steam-boat navigation. When in the vicinity of K mkakee pond, enquiries ought to be made as to the pr jcticabilily of conoec.:ine; in that direction, the waers of L-dxC Michigan with the Tippecanoe and Wabash. 2d To ascertain tlx practicability of urdtin.; bv a vaaal. ihc Wabash with White

Riv er Twn ruiHs must be examined 'o that eff ct : t-nc through the aiiey ut Mississi:;i river, the other through the valley of Fourranpichcax River both tribuiiuies of the Wab.ibh. The Canal by cither route h.v m; cute ed While River, should then descend its vadey down to the hcd of steam boat n v h;aiion. When on the summit ground between the Mississiniwa and the head b anches of White River, it is desirub;e tn.u enouiius should be made v v. h a ie w io av

poch of the dry seasons ; one cubic foot and a half of water, per second can in the first instance be assured as the minimum supply per one mile of canal of the common size You will find here enclosed, a copy of our several instructions; A copy of an analysis of prices, which, as to the arrangement only, wiil help you to shape your analysis's uquiicd by the Engineer Department for the estimates accompanying the plans of projected works. We must observe to you that data, elements of any kind presented in each item arc intended only for illustration. In your own analysis these data Sc elements must be the results of tnquii ie and investigation made by youtself in the district of country where the work is to be erected. Your reports, plans, estimates, analysis, of prices of each canal ptacticablc among those contemplated in the present instructions must be forwarded in duplicate, to the Engineer Depai tment as soon as successively employed. We at e requested by the Engineer Department, to direct the gentlemen employed in the surveys for Internal Improvements, "not to suspend their operations except when absolutely necessary in consequence of sickness, not to leave the scene of their k'.bvUiS without fust reposing to the Department, and obtaining its permission to that t filet, befoic the duties assigned them shah have been completed. The permission heretofore granted in some cases-to officers, to suspend their operations in consequence of the ap proach of the. sicklv season lias been found productive of much public inconvenience, and the public interest k quires that it should not hereafter be allowed.
