Editor Journal: I am gratified to observe the interest you take in this enterprise, and the readiness with which you open your columns to com munications respecting it. The para graph you lately copied from Major Iioarne's very able article on "North Carolina Waterways, and The River and Harbor Improvements in the State,"' published in the Goldsboro Mexxengcr of the 12th inst.. briefly but clearly and forcibly presents the lrn portance of the work, and gives a short die uiurei f uuei in imj in Liii.-i oitin. earlv as the year 1774. when the Colonial Assemb4v met at New Berne. lord Dunmore being Governor, a bill wan passed looking to the construction of this canal to open communication be tween the Neuse river and Beaufort harbor. The pioneers had observed that the head or source of Club Foot creek, a large and beautiful sheet of water, emptying into Neuse river, was only about three (3) miles from the head of Harlow e creek, which debouches irifii tpiiii fni-t TlfivVinr nl flip. ,niifh of Newport river. The latter creek is j deep but very crooked. The opening of j is waterway was regarded bv tho me.n f ,that day: Tho 7ere diBtin" 'guished for practical wisdom, as very : n;rahlo h nnt.ireiv r.racichie Thi j 1 Kevolutionary war suspended all oper- ations of this character. The project slumbered for about forty years, when it again came to notice as the Club Foot and Harlowe Creek Canal, but nothing effectual was done until the year 1826, when by State aid to the ex tent of some $30,000 or 40,000, and pri- I v cite n u Lni IB tu cocui v-tiurti , hen fprne twenty (20) feet wide and subscriptions and organize a company were abortive, and again the project was abandoned ; and thus things stood until Marshal Parks, Esq., of Norfolk, came to our aid about three years ago, and by his assistance a company was or ganized and work commenced, which has been prosecuted with such vigor that the canal has been dredged out to a depth of about tive (5) feet, and if tho I approaches, to wit. Club Foot and llar- lowe creeks, were dredged out, coast ing vessels of considerable size could ' now pass from Neuse river to Beaufort i harbor, and we should have communi j cation by water with Onslow countv. I and, in the watering season, could j transport passengers by steamboat to Morehead City. This has been accom ' plished at precious little cost to the citi- zens of New Berne, for we have only two stockholders lo the amount of only ' one thousand dollars. So that it may be known, the men who sneer at the enterprise, and abuse the persons oper ating, have no cause to do so because their money is wasted. A very serious impediment to the work is the quality of the earth exca vated. It is mud and small, finely com minuted shells, and is so friablo and slippery on exposure to the air, that, after it has been deposited on the bank. it will slide back unless it is carried to a considerable distance from tho marge of the canal. In railroading, excavated earth placed at a slope of forty-five de grees is considered safe from danger of slides, and witli many earths a much I k-ss angle or slope will answer, but with this dredged debrix it is found, by 1 painful and costly experience, that tin? dredged earth has to be re moved not onlv from the bottom of the camil but deposited about one hundred and fifty feet II. "id) I rom the bank. This is now being done. The late heavy rains have caused ex tensive slides, and it will take ten days' work to remove the earth which has : fallen into the canal. ' In this connection, I will state that this debrix is a very rich marl. It lias been tried and found a very valuable fertilizer there are millions of bushels of it. and I guarantee that any farmers, who wiil send flats to take it away, can get as much as they may desire, and the company will be glad to have tin iu take it.
