Future prospects of Norfolk.--The
opening of the Dismal
Swamp Canal will be the opening
d'f an uninterrupted water commu
nication between Norfolk and a
hack country to the extent of
430 miles, principally through a
region unsurpassed in the fertili
ty of its soil, and the value of its
marketable productions, by any
other section of the Union.
It is unnecessary to pnlargo
upon a fact so interesting to men
of capital and qnterprize. Boatsi
suitable to the navigation of the
canal and of waters of North Car
olina, to Weldon, at the Falls of
Roanoke, are nearly ready to
commence operations; and in a
little time the establishment of
commercial houses and agencies
may be confidently expected.
Thus with a cheap conveyance
and the certainty of a market at
Norfolk for their wiieat, flour,
cotton, tobacco, corn, and other
productions, the planters on the
Roanoke and its branches, in
North Carolina and .-Virginia
will be enabled to extend the
cultivation of those products, and
to find profitable employment for
their vast dominions, heretoiore
remaining idle, because no price
that could be obtained fgr their
produce would pay the expence of
getting it to market. Norf. Her.
