Perhaps no country in the, world, of equal 'teiit, is possessed of more natural advanta ges arising from water communications, than the Stat of Virginia. These great, benefits are sensibly experiencedin-the middle 'and north -western districts,. where by improving the inland navigation, rands' haVe increased in value very considerably The farmer finds an easy, safe and dxperfitious channel, thro' which he can convey his produce to market, atave- trifling jtxpence But in the south-vvestern district, either from inatteiition, or frorn a be lief that such improvements are impracticable," no active measures, until very lately, have been pursued, to ascertain so important and interesting a question. , The"Roanoke and its waters, whighcjftbrace a country nearly, equal in,xtent to me miciaie ana iiorin-wcsiei u districts of Virginia, enjoying,a climate in the west equally wholesome and salubrious, and a fertility of sod not surpassed by any other parWT the motive; nor any ground for misrepresent of the State, Ubors under every disadvantage from the want of a safe communication to tide water. . It costs the fanner at least one fourth of the value of his produce to get it to market, and this of course operating on the value ot land, reduces its price in, trie same ratio. Thai il is the inierest of land-holders to effect such a communication, is too apparent to need an - elucidation ; the object should be embraced ,. with enthusiasm, and should kindle the Same of energy and exertion in every.breast :-Thc , increase inniYevalue of their lands-alone. would nrobablv reimburse the exnence. That ' it is the interesfbf the public, is also obvious, as it woifTopcn a very large extent of country -to the Alleghany mountains, and ' consequent 'ly facilitate the transportation of militia, -arms, military stores. &c. in an eastern or western xhrccxion, in case of war or internal eommo tion. " The Secretary of tie Treasury; in Tiis re port to the Senate ol the United States on the subject of Inland Navigation, (a report which merits the perusal ot every citizen ot Amen ci) mentions that the only obstacle to a water C('mmuuication from Roanoke to Petersburg, is the crossing the branches of Chowan, "which are Mehernn and Nottoway livers.
