fSNirott I in union with Mr. Canmk, to deter I the random I nc commenrod. Offun to non-arrival of some of the reqintmt' «!'* »ntus at Millcdjtcville, Mr. Cnjeak did not pfrive for some time after the thy “I’P** 1 ". » vhidi detained me much longC|/tbsn 1 had an- llictpatcd. ' T , , h Ifcfoie leaving the Can.il/urvcy, I very ful- !w explained,veibally, toAL- Bmritt my views j.iilio subject, and mode out written instruc- jon«/or his liuihor fdidatice. In the situation hi ivhitli llcft him, and tho instructions I fuv- D Jicd him tvilh, I lob cuntideni it was impos- jZlo ho could err, if he had the slightest jire- , tensions to a knowledge of Canal surveying. f From the Shallow Ford I descended tho (Chattahoochee river to the Horse Path, within /ten miles of Miller's Bondhaving been so long detained on the river after the day fixed to meet the Commissioners, I abandoned it, and proceeded by land to Fort Mitchell.^ i As soon us the necessary business was com* | pitted at that place I returned to Milledgcvillc Governor Troup considered it would be expe dient for Mr. Camuk and myself to proceed to Nickajack to determine the longitude of thin place, and on my way, to visit Mr. Burritt,to see what progress he bad made on the snrvcy: and if necessary, to remain with him fur a shoe time. After receiving various accounts of the place I should find him, I at last met with some i gentlemen who knew exactly where ho was, and | politely offered to accompany me to the spot— A small distance before reaching tho point, I met him on his way to Millodgev'lle. Ho in formed me that Mr. Lumpkin and Col. P t man hud left the camp when lie did ; I' therefore des patched a boy on horso back after them, ami requested Mr. Uurritt to return; the boy very soon mot as, aud told me the Commissioners Wore still at tho camp. As Mr. Burritt seem cd desirous of proceeding on his journey that evening he very soon left us. From the con versation I had with him, I was led to bolicvc that tho survey had been carried on for a very 1 considerable distance agreeably to the instruc. lions given him, and that fin had taken some run oing levels from the Yellow river to the point where lie stopped ; but on further conversation \y:di tho Commissioners, I had the mortified- Itiou to learn, that no attention whatever, had :beenpaid to those instruction?. As Mr. Bur jritt was to return in a week and resume h : s hr jbo'-s, I left mstruciions wi’li Mr. Lumpk.fffor mm (Mr .D.) to, resurvey his former work in the way it ought to havo been done nt first. On toy return f.om Nickajnck, I found the survey in the same condition I had left it. and was jn iformed that Mr. Burntt was sick at Milledee- 'villc, whore ho h :s remained ever since. In th s state of affairs, I considered tho only thine tlu* limited time would permit mo to do, would (bo to 'nko running levels from the point at (trirch Mr. Burr:it had left off, to the transverse ; by this means l should tie able to Ostnh- flish the agurregaie fall to the Ormufoee nt Mu* [con, end the Oconee at Milladveville, from the jcnivot ai.esdy made by Mr. Co'i'v. SoirjU ihiys. after mv <w»r.rn ro Mtlo-hrouUlo, pi obtinuod an uncalculated copy of Me. Bur- Ir'rtt's Field Book: after going over the whole of tho calculations and laying down a section of thorn I found it to bo one of tlie most miserable attempts at Canal Surveying which lias ever boon made in this or any oilier country. Had I been fully apprised of Mr. Bunjtt’s having executed bis survey in tho manner it has been done, I would have commenrod my run ning lovels at tho point where I left off, before going to Fort Mitchell. On the Central Line of Canal or Rail Roarl. As far ns I am able to judge from those parts of the country I have seen, there will bo no insurmountable difficulty to overcome in crossing the main ridge, nt cither of the places before mentioned. 1 am of opin’on that water can be obtained from tho neighboring streams | to supply a canal through the valley between the waters of Omoah and Conncsaitcra, by taking a feeder from one of them; and that there can also bo a supply obtainod for a cdnal whore I commenced tho survey between the Ch.ckmnugie and the Chattugeta. I think it is probable that another pass over tho main ridge will be found not very far from tho widow Wolf’s (now Mrs. Williams.) At this I lace there is a copious spring, whioh is per- aps high enough to admit of its boing carried into the summit lovcl; and should it be found to bo so, would go far to supply a canal pf as short a summit level as would bo found neces sary in this situation. As soon as lockage takes place water can be obtained sufficiently from other sources for the sijpply of lower lov els; these, however, are facts which can only be ascertained by actual and correct surveys: if a correct survey is taken and the Omoah and Connesaugie lino ascertained to be somewhat For reasons before mentioned, I commenced a survey from the Chattalioochic, high enough above that river to admit of its being crossed by a timber aqueduct. yards from the river it will be necessary to perforate the ridge by a tunnel of 3520 yards in length: this tun nel will {mss through granite which appears to easily w-otked, and of a quality well adapted for lockage building. If a Railway is adopted instead of a canal, this expense will be saved, as tho ridge can be overcome by inclinod planes. From the sootheru end of the tunnel to thej in the bottom, . . point to which I at this timo surveyed, six locks | lar thereto: the stem and stern are sharp built, of eight feet lift can be introduced; from thisthe spaces in the stem andstern are appropriat- 1 mint to tho Yelltfw river, according to Mr. | cd as cabins for the hands to live in. By the Burritt's survey, if it can be relied upon, the j bottom of the boat beinj made perfectly flat aggregate fall is, by my calculations of his field ;*Und the sides square, they admit of the great- book, 301 feet 9 inches, which w 11 require 37 j cst burthen being carried with tho smallest locks of eight feet lift, leaving a fraction of five | draught of water. A host of 70 feet in length, feet nine inches. In this portion of the survey j and 8 feet in beam, with a load of twenty-five feei in length; this length .will admit of a clear holdref 50 feet, which will be capable of stowing 25 bales iu a tier; five tiers of bales (two in the bull and three nt deck)-will make au aggregate of 125 bules; ihesc bales will a- vertigo three hundred weigh: or three hundred and thirty-six pounds each, making the whole i cargo equal to eighteen tens fifteen hundred j weight, which with the we'jjht of tho boat, &c.

After once setting into the valley of the Connessaugie by Chattugeta, there cun I think occur no difficulties but what are common to all canals. From the confiunce of the Conncs- caugie and Oostenalab, I am also much inelin cd to think no formidable obstacle will be found; tho ridgo betwoen the High Tower and Chatlahoochie seems to bo elevated considera bly above the,rivers—but as I have made no examination of any part of it, but where I ac cidentally crossedit in travelling, this portion of the line will remain somewhat doubtful until it i* actually surveyed—In a conversation 1 bad with Mr. Brooks at the Shallow Ford, who is remarkably well acquainted with the Chero- mo country, ho informed me that a low part o' the ridgo would bo found hv -.scantling one of tho creeks of tho H*gh Tower near Fiiil* and descending by Per/vYereok, ould any vory extra expei. re* take place in taking, and that idt i i>< given np, J ran where he first commenced on the southern side, I find there is 1 mile 742 1-2 yards, which ap pears by his field book to be surveyed agreea bly to the instructions given him: but from thence, no further attention is paid to them; for instead of looking down to the bottom of the valley, lie begins to ascend, and continues his survey undulating through the country as the natural surfaco of the ground happens to be; whilst at tho same time, he had it in hi* power to commence any level ho pleased, by keeping in the valley of the stream—From tho Yel low river this undulating survey is continued to its conclusion, at which point it is 158.17-100 feet higher than tho point on the Yellow river above alluded to. Tho distances which havo been taken on Mr. Burritt’s survey are of as little use as the levels, having no connexion whatever with the actual line of Canal; whethor they arc longor or shorter it is difficult to say—the total dis tances by tho field book, I find to bo 52 miles C04 yards. > In prosecuting the running levels from Mr, Starr’s to the transverse line of Rail Road, wherever an opportunity occurred, I ascertain' oil the altitude of the dividing ridge between the waters of the Oconee and Ocmulece; the result of these levels is that, if a canal is adopt ed, by an addition of four locks of seven feet lift each, nt or near the Yellow river, will ad mit a lino of Canal on n dead level from that po : nt to tho top of iho dividing ridge, near Mr. M'Matji’s, a distanco of miles; and if a Railway is adopted, a line can be found from tho foot of tho ridgo near Mr. Chapman’s house to the trnnsverse line, - nt a rate of inclination not excecd : ng 1 foot in 1100; a rate almost im perceptible from that of a dead level. *<»riyfled of the impractibility of ob tain mq a desiraliiMhn «f nn.l along the trans verse route, I took the liberty of devn.iUr; from the course of the central rente prescribed by tho Board. My reasons were 4int r in the ovont of a Railway being substituted for a canal; and as far ns the towns of M.v oft and M.llcdgevilleand Augusta arc interested, it will be better to terminate it at tho point to which I have taken the levels, on the dividing ridgo bo- Fishing creeks, at which place the transverse Railway crosses the ridge. This point is near- or the center of tho State than any other, it be ing nearly equidistant from jhe Chuttahooch'o rivor, at Fort Mitchell, and the Savannah riv- r, nt Augusta. Should a canal be considered better adapted the trado of the country, it is my opinion that it will pnswer all tho purposes intended.— By making one lino of canal from the Chatta- hoochio to the summit of tho dividing ridgo, near Mi. M'Math’s, in Jones county; and from 'hence to carry a branch to Macon, and ano •her to MiUodgovillo, or to any one of those daces which may bo considered most desirable. [ feel the more convinced of tho plausibility of iiis scheme, as I trust it will be found on in vestigation, that both the Ocmulgeo and Oco nee rivers can bo rendered navigable for canal craft at oil seasons of the year, which the trade cquircs, by tho removal of logs and other tem porary obstructions, Shdlild this provo to bo the result of an ex amination, there will then bo two navigations iftiting at the Altamaha; from whence by an extension of the canal about to bo commenced from Savannah to Ogechee, tho trade of Sa vannah would pass; andrfhould the harbor of Brunswick be found after an nccurato survey of it has been taken, to bo as capacious and affording as great ff draft of water as has been reported, a canal may bo mado from tho Alta* malm to Brunswick, at, it is believed, a very moderate expense. From the iraporfect stato of the survey of the Central Can il, it is impossible that any thing like an accurate estimate of the expense can at this time be made out. Tho Board of Public Works will therefore have to depond on im practical experience of the cost .of siqiilar roriuu for a general estimate of the compara tive expense oTa cahai or timber railway; from which, they will bo able to decide, whether the detailed survey should be made with the view of adopting a canal or railway, os one sur vey will not suit for both purposes. Before entering on the estimated expense of a canal, it is necessary to consider what size of boats will bo most suitable for the traffic of the country, and that these boats should be built to contain a load for one or for two horses—20 or 25 tons are supposed to be about the proper burthen of a canal boat for ono horse, and dou ble the quantity for two horses. The breadth of tho beam of the boats should be as narrow as they possibly-can be mado, to suit the prin cipal article of produce to be conveyed by them, As cotton may be considered the staple cot tons including the weight of the boat, will draw about two feet water. From these premises, it i t evident that a canal sixteen feet wide at the bottom ind twenty-eight wide at the top or sutface of tie water, ami four feet deep, will be amply sufficient for the transport of such boats: It raiy appear at first sight that four feet draught of water is more than is necessary, but as a scarcity of" water may occasionally take place in dry reasons, it becomes necessary to provide for rich accidents. It is also found, that the greater the depth of water is beyond tho draft of $e boat, the easier the boat is pro pelled through it. The length ofa canal from the Chattnhoo- cliic to Macao or to M'lledgevilk, including its sinuosities, nriy he taken at 140 miles. The lockage from the Chattnhoochlc to the Oc- mnlgee at Macon, is equal to 687 feet, nnd from tho Chnttahoochie to the Oconee at Mil- ledgevillc, 725 few: From these data a pretty correct estimate mty be formed.

This division commences on the west bank of the Ocmulgec river, over which a bridge must be thrown; but my present impression is, that a considerable saving can bo made by taking advantage of the bridge lately erected on thjit river—If it is not at present sufficiently wide to admit of a single Railway passing a- long without interrupting the common waggon way, it will not be a difficult matter to ado as much more to the width as will answer all purooses. The length of this division "is forty-fout miles nine hundred and twenty-four yards. The survey ha* been carried round tho base of the hill on which Fort Hawkins is situated; from thence it passes along the west branch of Wal nut Creek, and ascends in the valley of one of its prongs up to the summit of the dividing ridge between the waters of Walnut Creek and those of Commissioner’s Creek; from the a- bove summit it descends by the valley of Wolf Creek into the valley of Commissioner’s creek, which it crosses about two miles above the Federal road; from Commissioner’s creek the line is carried up the valley of a small branch (for which no name could be obtained,) to the summit of the dividing ridge between the wa ters of Commissioner’s and Fishing creek, and descends along the left bank of Fishing creek to the Oconee river: the inclinations in this division are very easy, with tho exception of half a mile, which is 1 in 98. Tho survey of this division has been taken to the boat landing near Holt’s ferry on the Oconee; but if it is more desirable to carry it through the town of Miliedgeville, it can be very cosily effected; and the landing at the river mado any where that is considered most convenient.

TRANSVERSE RAIL ROAD. Tho rejnous why I at once abandoned the idea of a canal on ihis rcuto, and commenced the survey of a rail road, will appear ob vious by s t examination of a map of the State —It will 11 there seen that this line inteYsects all the v new of Georgia which have their source* in tho Alleghany Ridgo nnd flow into he Allan's Ocean; there is of course a ridge between 0 ery two of these streams, and some of these ri ges of considerable magnitude; each of these r Iges would nocessarily require lock age for t 9 purpose of ascending to, and de scending om its summit; besides this formi dable itci in the expense of canal making, there mus bo provision made for the supply of each sumi it with water to compensate for its constant asle; in some places feeders might be found a great expense, but there are other situations rhbro water could not be obtained at all—St ipesing a statement of tho above facts will c satisfactory to evgry reflecting mind. I s til not lengthen the report by no ticing oth s of minor consequence. Wltcrebridges are to bo bud', one railway will be so ipient, as tho doublo Railway at each end of tl ^bridge can be easily made to meet in one, o diverge off in two, so that its width may be c atrected to 10 fee. only. The d of executing this survey, I assign Third Division. The third division commences on tho West bank of the Oconee, and continues nearly par- 11 i 11. ... x. ■ ■ ■ - - —:t— g - r— ‘1 v Should th»lj«fp»larere of Georgia, avis suing meet!-tig, deem it expedient the great and important work of Inteiml provement, it appears tp me ft wiffbe, i the must advisable mode of piocednie, 1, rcct the at-temioh of dll nuneduitely teaq in it to one prominent object il tj'iw, this mean: 1, -.be publie Witt won* lmio . portunity of judging for themselves, wL, the plans proposed, are likely to have tk sired effect; and when once their topic is obtained, thorp can be nn doubt 'every will go on prosperously.
