Editors qf the Sun: I bad tbe honor to
propcse before tbe Oanal Convention
which met in this oitj on the 20th, a
resolution requesting Congress, in tak
ing steps to aid tbe Atlantio and Great
Western Cana!!, to refer the subjeot of
passing the ridges that intervene on its
route bj means of inclined planes, and
steam power, instead of passing them by
means of locks and water. And I now
wish to add a few words of explanation
through your columns.
These ridges between the rivers over
wbioh the Canal passes, if built, rise
from there, to three hundred and fifty
feet above the rivers, and a oanal to form
a complete water line, must either pass
over them by locks, or through them by
means of tunueis. To pasa the canal
over tnem will require feeders from the
rivers, from thirty to fifty miles long,
and will require all the water of all the
rivers and all the streams that oan be
made available in the dry seasons; if in
deed, for a heavy business, water enough
oan be bad by moans oi feeders along
these, our sandy and gravelly lands.
But if instead of thus passing the oanal
over the ridges, tunnels through them,
say from three to four miles in length
are adopted, it will oost to construct
each tunnel, at least ten million dollais,
aud thirty million dollars tor the three.
For the ridge between the T-1 n* ssee and
Coosa, tbe ndge between tne Coosa (or
the Etowa, a branch of the Coosa.) and
the Chattahoochee, and the ridge be
tween the Chattahoochee and the watcis
which flow into the Atlantic, have to be
passed on the proposed route. And then
again, in following the rivers to pructioal
points, to pass by tunnels, or eleva'ion,
the length of the ctnal would probably
be increased from fifty to seventy five
miles. I believe the estimated ocst of an
entire water line is fortv million dollars.
Then let ua suppose the inclined planes
and steam power, to pass the canal boats
over the ridges, be us ‘d. Tne oanal it
self can be constructed near enough to
the water courses to be fed with short
and cheap canals, say with none over five
miles long. And in the next place suoh
is the nurrowuess of these ridgrs, that
none of the ioolined planes need be
over two miles long, that is, two np on
one side, aud t«H down on the other
side. And then, suppose that each of
these inclined planes, or portages, oost
three hundred thousand dollars
this would be less than one
million dollars for all of them:
And then again in adopting them, the
course of the oanal could be made com-
laratively straight, or, as I said before,
: rom fifty to seventy-five miles shorter
on the main truck line, and probaHy
more than this distance could be saved
in the length of the feeders, and conse
quently, more than one half the cost of
the oanal.
Do you ask if this oan be done, and If
inclined planes can be successfully
used to transport canal-bo*ts tbis dis
tance ? I have only to reply that they
are mooessfully used at this time in
Europe; ard were used before the steam
engine, or at least, !»efore the looomoti^e
engine was invented;and that an inolined
plane of tbis description, thirty miles
long, was used in Pennsylvania u itil re
cently. In the next plaoe, the elevations
to be overcome on these ridges, by such
means, would not exceed two hundred
feet above tbe line of suoh feeders. And
allowing the plane on each side to be two
miles long, wool* give one hundred feet
grade to the mile. Now the heaviest
oanal-Dost tally loaded, used in this
country, does not exceed three hundred
tons in weight; and I believe it ia true
that there are many locomotives engines
now in nso that can take that amouut o<
weight up one hundred feet grade, bnt if
there are none that can do it, there cer
tainly ia no difficulty in constructing
them to do it. I ask then, where
is the difficulty in constructing
aud using inolined planes to take canal
boats over these ridges, upon cradle cars
constructed for the purpose ? The por
togas, I repeat, would not oe over four,
or at the utmost, over five miles lone, up
and down; where then, I repeat, is the dif
ficulty in adopting aud using them?
Ger’ain it is, if they can be used, one-
half the cost of the canal and much dis
tance can be saved. Is it not best to
have the attention of Congr* ss called to
this question and let tbeui havo the sub
ject fullv investigated by competent
boards of engineers ? This waa the pur
port of the resolution submitted by me
to the convention, and the foregoing, in
part, explains the objects I had in view
in offering it.
