But in order to arrive at a successful termination of this very important mat ter, several questions natcrallv present themselves : First. Is there any corporation or company already legally .organized tbat has tbe entire management of this work in hand, and if ao, who are the parties constituting said organization ? Secondly, Ha there ever been any survey made by skillful engineers, and is there any estimate that has been made in regard to it f We have no other resources at our disposition than' what we could collect from Major loung, who informed us that he himself and Win. R. Jones, of Raleigh, were the only parties that had managed the affair so far ; that they had obtained a charter from our Legis lature some years ago, granting them several privileges, but did not grant them auy public lands bordering on the said canal nor any other creeks. Maj. Youpg assured us lhat several counties -would gladly extend to us pecuniary assistance and a large quan tity of low-land, which would be drain ed through the medium of said canal. One-half ot it would be also surrendered to the company .These are about the most salient points bearing upoa this important subject. For consideration of all these facts, and before wo can favorably report upon that portion of the proposed plan which pertains to the iuvestment of $60,000, though as it appears the proposition teems to bo for the money paid, resting on safe se curity, we would respectfully tsnggest that a meeting be called iu order to investigate the matter more thoroughly, the result of which will undoubtedly lead to the accomplishment ot this de sirable object. Mr. Chairman, your committee have tried diligently to be instrumental in promoting au enter prise which, successfully carried out. will unfold advantages to our city, the neighboring countries, and conse quently our good old State, of the greatest magnitude, and if the result of our investigation has not fully met with the expectations or our friends, who feel a lively interest in the matter, wc beg them to believe that we were guided by tbe purest motive, and only lack of higher qualifications being the cause of our shortcommings. Iu con clusion, then, allow us lo remark, that whatever may be the tinal result per taining to the construction of the New River Canal, we would respectfully re commend Maj. Young to the kind con sideration of all those who shrill have a leading voice in this matter; his un tiring eflorts truly deserve it. J. LOKD, P. llEIN'snKRo-ER, Joux Coi.VII.l-K. Viin;iiii,-:oi), N.
