For rnnsons before mentioned, I commen
ced a survey from tin- CliaUjJiooebiu, Jiigh
enough above tint river to admit of its being
ciossed by a timber aipmduet yards
from the r.'vMi it will bo nt. ossarv to pm-
f‘>rato tlm ridgo by u tmmul of 3520 yards
in length ; this tunnel will pu** through
granite which appears to ho easily worked,
aud of a q>i ility well adapleo for lockage
building. It’a Railway is adopted instead
ol u (’.ill'll, this etpen.-'u will ho saved, as
tho rxlgo can bo overcome by inclined
I'l-!"-
F rom ' .0 southorn end nf the tunnol to
tin* point to which I at lira time surveyed,
six locks of oiglit feet lift cun ho introdu
ced ; from this point to tho Yellow River,
according to Mr. Burritl’s survey, if n can
le* rolled upon, tbo aggregate fill is, by my
calculations of bis Field Book, 301 Ret ft
inches, wJneJi will teqairu 37 locks ul eight
t< ot lilt,leaving a tiaftion of Jive foot nine
inclx.-s. In this portion oflhcsurvey where
lie first commenced mi iho sou-hern side,
I find fiiar.-is I tudo 7T2 I •> yards, which
appears hy his 1‘ mid Book to bo survoyed
ugieuahly to the instructions given lum ;
lull from thence, iio further attention is paid
to then) ; lor instead ol looking mmu to
the boiiom of tho valley lie begins to as-
cend, and continues tns survoy undulating
through lue c uiutry «is the natural surface
of the ground happens to bo; whilst at tliu
same time in* had it m his power to com
mence any level he plumed, by keeping in
the valley of tlm stream From thu Yel
low river this undulating survey m eoutiu-
nod to its conclusion, at which point it is
LVU7-100 feet higher than the point on the
Yellow river above alluded to.
Tiled stances which have boon taken on
Mr. Burriu’s survey aro of as little use as
tho levels, having no connection whatever
with tim actual Into of Canal : whether
they uro longer or slimier it is .lilficult to
say thn total div.am-es by the Field Book,
i find to ho.>'2 miles lift I yards.
In pr.vfioe.iitiug tlie running levels from
Mr. .Starrs to tim transverse lino of Rail
Road, wherever an opportunijv occurred, I
ascertained the altitude of tho div filing rxlgo
between the waters of tim Oconee and <)o-
mulgee ; the result of those levels is that,
tl a Canal is adopted, by an addition nf
l.iiir lurks uf seven feet lift each, at or near
tlx Y*How river, wtil admit a line of Canal
on a dead level from .hat point to tlm top of
ilx dividing ridge, near .Mr Mi .Math's, a
distance nf miles ; and »f a R .itwny
isadupmd, a line ran he found from llmfo.ii
ul tho iidgo near Mr Chapman's house to
the ti.iiisvcrso line, ala rate of inclination
not exceeding 1 loot in 1100 ; a rate utmost
imperceptible from that ol a dead level.
Rumj satisfied of the impracticability ol
obtaining a desuublo line ot Canal uloug
the lrauiver.se route, I took the liberty ol
deviutitig from the enursn of the Central
mute proscribed by tho Board. My reu
suiiH were that, in the event of u Itudvvu)
hi in : Bubstituiad for a (’ inal ; and a? far ai
the to viis ol Macuu and Alilledgevillo and
Aug i ta arc iiiterestod, it will be butte
teimmutoit at tho point to which I have ta
ken the levels, oil the dividing rid
tw ceti Ihe waters of th** CouimissimierH and
Falling crocks, at which place the tru
v cr-c ilail way crosses the t idga. This point
is in an r thu centre of (lie Stulo than
ntii «, it being no.nly equidistant from the
C.iafahoocliio river, at Fort Mitchell, uml
tlx* Savannah river, at Augxs a.
Should a Canal ho considered bet c. ndup
ted to iho trade nftlm country, it is my opin
ion that n will answer all the pui pos-n .n-
tvn.led Bv making ouo line of Canal from
the Chnttuhn < hie t . the -‘iimniit of tho di
viding ridge, neat M . MeM uli’s in Jones
county ; and from tlx-imo l«» carry a hraiicli
to M n t n, an I inotbi r i“ MiModg< a ille, or
to any one uf those places which may he
eondilered most desnahle I fet I the mere
convinced of the pin nsi In lit) uf this ..chemc,
us I trust it will ho found on investigation,
that hnlli the Oemulg' O and Ocouoe rivers
can ho ren leied n iv gable f»r Canal craft
at all seasons of tlx* y-ai. which tho trade
requires, by the teinovui of Digs and other
temporary obstiuclions.
•Should thus prove t*» hn the result of an
examination, (hero will then ho two ttuvigu
tmus uniting at tlx- Alt mi aha : from whence
Ii) an f.\ten-iou of the (’anal about to he
eotuiix need from .Savannah t" t Igechee. tlm

tho II nhorof Bronswiek holound aft ran
ac ur.ito snrvev "f n ha- been taken, lo 1 «
as capacious and atf'.rdiug as groat a drift
of vvator as has been reported a Canal may
bo made from the Altamaha to B.un>-
vv. lv, ut, it is believed, u very mod-rate cx-
pex.-e
Final tlie imperfect survey of tbo Central
Canal, it is imp cs-cble that any thing like an
accurate estimate ot’ tlm expense can at tins
lime be made out The Board of Public
Works will thcrelbro have Jo depend on
my practical experience of tho cost of sim
ilar works, for a general estimate of llie
couipaiativo expanse o’ a Canal or Timber
Railway ; from which, they will be able to
decide, vv lx liter the detailed survey should
be made with the view of adopting a Canal
or Railway, us one survey will not . f\l for
both porpi m**s.
B.-fore entering on the cslimnlcu expense
of u Canal, il ivnocussary to consider what
sizo of boats will be must suitable for the
tratlie of the country, and that those boats
should be built to contain a load for out* or
for two horses—120 or ‘Jo tons nro supposed
to he about tbo pmpci hurtle n of a Canal
bout Ibr utie horse, aud double the quantity
for two li es s. Tho broadlii of tho beam
(d* the boats should be us narrow as they
pus'iblv '-an bo made, lo bint the principal
at tide of produce to be conveyed by them.
\i cotton may bo considered tlie staple
commodity ot this iStato, 1 shall submit,
what in my opinion »\ ill ho tliu size of < 'an
al boats best adapted to the tinnspoitutiou
ol that article. The cotton of Georgia is
chiutly made up in long b iles from mix to
>« v cu fid in length ; then it would bo ad
vKublo to slow loijgtlivvuys uthwait the
boat; thorefuro, u boat of eight lout beam
will lx* sulh* ieut.
A-. cotton is an article cocuparativ eiy light
to ils bulk, the boat should bo made suliic-
I) long to contain as many biles as wdl
bo cquul t*> tlx; draft of a single h xso—
”«<r this purpose, I would recommend bouts
of 70 Icet iri long'll ; fun length vvfil admit
laar hold *f 50 loot, vvtiich will bo ta
p .file of stowing 25 b ile* m a Iter ; > tier-
f bales ^2 xi the hull and 3 ou d«.*. k) will

bales will averag** 3 cvvt. nr 33li lb each,
making the vvlmb- cargo eipial l » li tons
15 cvvt. which with ton weight of the boat,
vY ( . may be cousldere 1 a load lor u liaise
Too Canal boats m England are ninde pnr-

Second Division.
This division commences on the West
hank of ill*.- Ocmnlgoe riv ex, over which a
j bridge must be thrown ; but my present im-
pressiouH -s, that a considerable saving can
tie made by tukfi.g advtiri »gc of thu bridgo
lately erect don that river—If it is not ut
present sutli- ieutly wii^p to admit of a sin-
;le Railway passing along without inter-
upting tlx* common waggon way, u will
nut be a 'itfx ult m ilter toadd as much more
to tlx- width as will answer all purposes.
Tlie length of this division is 41 inilo.s
921 yards. Tlie survey has boon canted
round tho base of tbo bill on which l oit
