UNFUBLISHED CORRBSPONDEXCE BETWEEN GEN. MEIGS AXD THE DISURICT COMMISSIONERS. Scmh time since Gen. Meigs wrote to the Dis- trict Commissioners a letter reviewing their publisted statement on the water question. To this letter they replted last week, criticizing some of the points in Gen. Meigs' letter. To their reply he sent a rejoinder. last. ‘on Sati Gen. Meigs still contends that the plan he orlz- ially sent to the District of Columbia cot tee, and for the Roe Si Ta of which he made an estimate Of $350,000, it to meet the necessities of the case ag it now presents itself. it will be remembered that Major Rolle be- fore the House District committee last. winter, sald that Gen.

Meigs thi that as the Com- missioners now view the water question in its true light, that it is probably best that the cor- a between himse] not printed, as it will only lead to public controversy, and will not tend to secure the end aimed at—a full water supply and at acheap rate. Gen. Meigs favors the abolition of the water tax altogether, and thinks the expense of the supply ought to be pald out of the general fund. .

Editor Stavy:—On the sth of . 1853, or over twenty-one years ago, I had published in THE EVENING STAR an aiticleof over three-quarters of a column, byes @ Panama ship railroad on the line of that road, giving details of the mode of coretruction, cost and advantages over & ship canal on any of the routes. Numerous surveys of routes had not con- vinced Sa that a canal would be practi- cable, while my opinion still was that a rail- road would prove entirely successful. When the European congress decided in tavor of the Leeseps canal on the line of the Pavama R. R., I was about to republish Plan of a ship rail- Toad assupertor to the canal ably surprised to see the the New York Tribune of @ rall- Toad in place of a canal has been endorsed by Many of the most distinguished eers In the country. ‘The following ought to be conclusive that the Proposed Lesseps Panama canal would fall, and this seems to be opinion of European’ an American capitalists, who refuse to take the stock. The Lesseps Suez canal, 100 miles long, iy through sand, by steam dredges Teas yea sand, by steam 10 years, 808 to 1869, and cost $10,000,000, and it 18 but fairly successful financially, though tt con- pe, Africa, Asia and Australia with Over 1,000,000,000 of people. On the contrary, the Droposed Panama canal, 50 miles tong; Will have to be excavated mainly through solid rock, with cuts or tuauels often 1%), 200, 300 or 400 feet deep, it will take, perhaps, twenty-five years to construct, and at 8 Cost Of $250,000,000, While it will connect the commerce of only North and South Amera. With about 100,000,000 of people. ‘This would make two and a-half times the cost, with only pe the business, according to popula- on. On the contrary a Panama ship railroad could doubtless be constructed on the Itne of that road, on which could be transported ships and steamers of a large size from ocean to ocean, and in @ more rapid and safer manner than in arock canal. Even the present railroad, with improvements and enlargements, could doubt- less transport vessels of considerable size, and the marine railway might be an extension in size and solidity, and be under the same, or a separate, management. It could doubtless be built in ten years and at a cost of $25,040,000, at which sum it would pay. Our government should send a party of engineers to make a sur- vey and report upon its jpracticabllity, and, it favorable, a charter should then be asked of the next Congress for a Panama, ship railroad com- pany to Construct the road, a charter and right, ot way to be obtained at the same time from the yovernment of Nicaragua, when the road could be commenced next year.
