To Gov, Geo. M; ’Troup, In discussing the propriety of cutting a canal to unite the St. Mary’s with the Suwa nee river so as to have a safe and short passage to the Gulf of Mexico and South Ameiican coasts, it will be proper first to give a geographical description of Hu* river St. Marys and then the Suwanee! the two rivers that enter the Atlantic; on’tlie oppo site side iif t he Peninsula of Flor ida. The Si. xVlarys river, agreeable to its length and width, is considered one.of the deepest riv ers on the American Continent, for at the distance of three fourths of its whole length where it will be necessary ro work a ship, it is a positive fact that it is nearly as deep as any otrie -part of the river below. The St. Marys does not properly take its rise in tlip Oquefahoque Swariip. tho* it receives large supplies of water from it in .times of an overflow which usually happen in the fall and continues throughout the Winter. This river forks something like "nr hundred miles from its mouth and thu northern prong (which is the longest) issues from a considerably large? swamp which is said m contain a small lake in its interior of perpetual water, and which is not more than ten or twelve miles from theSuwanee river, The whple length of the St. Marys is supposed to be about one hundred and fifty miles tho’ there is a great band in thc north nrnnnrf on a strait line from its . • i, ..f 11. „ . . i .

I AfigKt c rtipufe the Oquefaoo H ta»te.—May it not be, that tho WlLg que with African nthnrpja uiui the Su-.Mountain, runs out oi diminishes inV wanee with the Nile, excepting one mutiuer as to be rounded by a canal Ik extraorduiiiiy feature, namely the an- i| le water of Tennessee, crossing the he nual inundation of tne Nile which is watersof Coo>a, UJiatahooehir, F. nim not applicable .to the Suwanee, •.# it ne-> c . making its ». y to *wa:d„ MdeH' ver overfli.ws its high and elevated banks, v ‘ille oind t om thence to Boriie arm mointaioing as it does a suitable b endtli — *-- *-■- - *- - * ™ and,depth to admit the gradual assuage of the waters. This river is about 300 yards wide at the sile of the late King Bowlegs town, which was destroyed by the forces of General Jack>on tu 1818, and which ilea a few miliu; above the mouth which frtiptics into a small sound,and is thence conducted over a good bar into the Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico; like the St. Marys it is celeb*a ted for its unusual depth; but the Suwanee is by far more strait as a few of the reaches are so long and strait as to make a consul erablo object imperceptible to the naked eye from one extremity to the .other. Its banks are lined with forests of oak, hicko ry, &c. and which are no doubt well suited to the culture of sea island cotton; consid ering how high the bank* are and how rich the soil, it will certainly ere long become the most delightful situation for planting in Florida, and moreover it ought tube known -hat the high and rich country of Alocliawa extendsdown uponfheabuilyeast bank of this river ‘ The whole length of the river is supposed to be between 130 and 150 miles the greater part of which is navigable for vessels of considerable bur then . Having now giyon a geographical description ot the two rivers it necessarily becomes my duty to say something of tin* canal, and will offer two ways where to 'have'if-put:- ■. / ' V * 1st. The waters of die two rivers are known to ex>end to within ten or twelve miles of each other, and it would be uutural to suppose that a canal of this length would actually unite tin* two rivers. But as it is also known that the head of the St Maiys river becomes d-y in a drought, which is sometimes experienced, i would be requi site to cut the .channel deeper where it would be wanting and which could only be done in case of drought. * The 2d best arid most proper plan in my opinion, wil) be to begin cutting at ship na vigation or at the junction of the north and south of the prongs of the St Maiys, (where it is plenty deep enough for the purpose required(and let the canal run a direct course for theSuwanee; the extreme dis tance of which Will not perhaps exceed 30 or35 miles: in its route il will intersect the north prong of the St Marys, and which will happily act as a reservoir. The soil through whic’h the canal will pass is of the lightest,saudye*.t{kind,andis very level. Indeed no pari ofilie world is more -<o, and no objection can be properly made about the supply of water for it: in case of drought 'lie imperishable- lakes in the vicinity will always afford ample stores • This canal when completed will actually be of more importance to the people of this •ountfy, than the canal of Languedoc is to the people of France, or the canal of Lado ga is to the people of Russia,because it will embrace more commerce ; and if my plan as recommended in Letter 2d, for Cuttiug the Brunswick Canal be adopted, it [will not cost the state §50,000 to complete it: ! ject enterprises of magnitude withouti but if it were to cost ten times that amount mation sufficient to judge with probal its advantages would be a sufficient apolo “ -■ ? - ' •* gy for tis to undertake il: consider the long and dangerous voyage iound the capes of Florida and through the 1-Vest India Islands and Bahama banks: by cutting this canal through the Isthmus of'Florida* we avoid this passage. The extensive and I may say unlimited commerce of the Mississippi, Mobile, ChatahoQchie and numerous other rivers, also the whole trade of the Gulf of Mexico, &c. will eventually pass thfough this canal which might be the property of the State of Georgia. .This subject more prrfperly belongs to fhe U. S. Government. Let u» look to the many valuable lives that are lost on the boisterous voyage round the rocky capes of Florida. Le‘t us reckon the millionsrihat are required to insure proper ty on (his voyage* Let us remember, the barbarous pirates that infest the West In dia seas, and the great expense our nation al government is at in maintaining a naval force there to protect our commerce.
