Drs Moines, In., May 40.-The widespread interest and Increasing discussion by the pur pers of cheap transportation, and the merits of, the varfous routes ant systems, are evi- denee enough of the yital importunes nt tnehed te the question, When a convention fsenlled, such as was held at Davenport Inst week, to disettss the advisability of building acanul at a cost of some $25,000,000 for tha vurpose of gaining a still shorter and more direet water route than the Alississippl River, It isevident the transportation question pos- sesses 0 tremendous interest. Great events, it seems, always bring forth new Idens to siipply them, and thus {t fs that tiutd all the discussion a new thought occurs tome, which fs nothing less than A DARGE RAILWAY; in other words, a raitrond and canal com: bined, which would retain the speed of the one and the vast capaelty of tho other, Let the locomutive take the place of the mule or the towbont, und barges take the place'ot ers, Such combination, used on the pro- posed canal across the State of IInols, would equal in possible eapaclty and mmount of work performed by any ether ten reads, It would do all the work now performed by tha barge Mnes of the Lower Mississippl with much greater speed and facility, and, con- structed on the straight line to tho Bast. such ns glyes fensibility to the proposed Hen napin Canal, it would have all the advantages of shortening distance, carrying vast loads, and moving them with wnparaiteled speed. In the consideration of sitch a schome the tirst ques- ton would be concerning ITA PRACTICABILITY, If a mule cau tow a barge on a canal, why cannot the yoke be transferred to 0 locomo- thye, and the tatt ed for the same pur pose with Its iner welght, power, and speed? Suppose a diteh or canal be dug on enel side of a raffroad, what ts to prevent locomotive with an inflexible crossbar at the back, long enough at cach side to. genet the contre and deepest portion of the dinal, nod these atatetied to the barges, from moving tlong and taking the boats with it? If the ennal be of uniter width and depth throughout, the strong crossbar of the en gine would always - keep tho barges exnetly Inthe “centre and deepest jortlun af. the streain, thus avalding he pussibitity: ot touching the banks. This danger avolded, speed would not be dane gerous, ind a locomotive balanced on tho track With ste it train enh aide of it, could move swittly and onaily forward, carrying at one foad what it takes tot or inoro traing to carry now, ‘TIE EXPENSE 6.
