New reasons why this important improvement should 16,800 be speedily completed, continually present themselves to the mind of every man-at least to the mind of, every man who thinks as much about it as we have done for 12,000 the last seven or eight years. Our mind may, for a time, be diverted from it, by the immense variety of occurrences which continually take place at home and abroad: our own business, or domestic concerns, or some such matter may, for a time, absorb our attention, but still, scarcely a month or a week can elapse without the development of some new matter, calculated to exhibit, in a still stronger light, the importance of a facile com6,000 munication with the great Lakes. 16,356 43 15,000 24 000 6,700 15,000 20,000 We first agitated this matter several years ago. Since that time the great Ohio canal has been made at once affording additional inducements to commence the connecting work, and increased facility in completing it. On the 25th June, we published a small article in relation to the proposed canal from Lake Erie to the Wabash; by this article it appeared that twenty miles of it have already been placed under contract, and sixteen miles more would be shortly, perhaps has been before this time. This canal will be about two hundred miles in length; extends through a region surpassed, in 30,000 fertility, by none in our country. When once comple5,907 89 ted it will add to the immense amount of produced poured into Lake Erie, and the upper Lakes, by the natur al rivers-the total products of the vast country extending from Terre Haute, on the Wabash, to the head of the Maumee, on the Lake. But for this proposed canal 12,500 this great country could get to a market only by the Wa bash and Ohio. As soon as this work is completed, that and Lake Erie will afford the easiest and most direct route to market. The whole product of that fertile country must be poured forth upon the bosom of Lake Erie, to seek from thence the most direct, the earliest, and the cheapest route to a market. 1833.] METEOROLOGICAL REGISTER. 45 METEOROLOGICAL REGISTER.

These are our advan-. tages, and they are decisive. Lake Erie is clear of ice at least four weeks sooner every spring, and four weeks longer every fall at Cleaveland than at Buffalo. So that a man sending a cargo of produce by the Ohio, and the cross cut and Pennsylvania canal to Philadel-10 phia, can dispose of it and forward his return cargo, before he could reach Buffalo. In the fall, also, we pos. sess a decided advantage, the harbor at Cleaveland being accessible much longer, and later than Buffalo. Suppose some human power, with competent authority, had declared that the harbor at Cleaveland should be open for navigation four weeks sooner every spring, and as much later every fall than that at Buffalo, would we not view this as a very high protective tariff in favor of our canal? Would we not consider it as almost equal to a prohibition of the use of the N. York Canal? Well, nature has, and annually does this very thing, by a law more efficient than any of mere human authority. Will Pennsylvania, then, neglect or refuse to avail herself of this decided advantage, conferred upon her by the hand of the Almighty? She has before her a noble prize to contend for, and every assurance of success by proper exertions. Will she prove recreant to her duty? We trust not.-Pittsburgh Gazette. HEALTH OF PITTSBURGH.-We publish, to day, an extract of the Board of Consulting Physicians, in this city, in which they intimate, very strongly, the opinion that the use of stone coal operates as a strong counteracting influence to the spread of the Cholera. It is certainly a very remarkable circumstance that the Cholera has been among us now for more than a month, and that, during all that time, out of a population of about $0,000 souls, we have not lost as many as died at Wheeling, or Maysville, or Lexington, in three days. Those three towns, with a population, we believe, 1 2 3 5 6 8 9 15 18 not exceeding eighteen thousand, lost more persons, in a single day, than Pittsburgh and vicinity have lost, by the same disease, in two years, and two separate visits of that scourge. That an abundant use of stone coal does exercise a powerful influence upon our atmosphere, is proved by other facts. An experienced Phy- 10 11 12 14 16 20 sician, who has practised extensively both eastward and westward, and who has resided in Pittsburgh more than four years, and during that period enjoyed a re- 5 6 8 19 spectable practice, assures us that he has never seen a 21 24 25 single genuine indigenous case of that loathsome di- 15 16 20 27 28 29 He also states that 1 4 10 11 12 13 14 17 sease, the itch, since he came here. the summer complaint, or cholera infantum, does not 9 18 prevail to one-tenth part of the extent it does in other 3 23 26 towns to the east and west of this place, and that the 30 31 mortality arising from that complaint does not amount 2 7 22 to one-twentieth part.-Ib.

Extract from the Report of the Board of Consulting PITTSBURGH, July 8, 1833. To Samuel Pettigrew, Esq. Sir-In reply to a letter addressed by the Sanitary Board to the Board of Consulting Physicians, requesting them "to make a communication to the public, containing such recommendations to guard against the prevailing epidemic, as they may think expedient to preserve the public health," the following is respectfully submitted: Whatever may be the cause by which the course that cholera has been accustomed to pursue in other places, has been checked in this city, our citizens have much reason for self-felicitation, and thankfulness to the Divine disposer of all events, for the exemption we have hitherto enjoyed from its ravages. It is Making 33 deaths, in a population of 20,000, since the 11th of last month, the date at which the first original case occurred in this city. During yesterday, and the day before, no deaths have occurred. JAMES R. SPEER, M. D. Secretary. METEOROLOGICAL REGISTER. Extract from the Meteorological Register, taken at the Days of the Month.

M. cond time in our city, and, at each time, obtained a fair introduction amongst us, carrying off from 25 to 30 persons at the first, and about the same number at the present visitation, but still not prevailing to any considerable extent, there is some little plausibility thrown over the supposition, that there is, in our local atmosphere, something unfavorable to its propagation. There is no city in the United States, and probably none in Europe, of the same limits, and population, where as much bituminous stone coal is consumed as in Pittsburgh. Beside the immense quantity consumed, daily, in our numerous and extensive manufactories, it is exclusively used in our houses and kitchens for fuel. Chemical changes are therefore constantly going on, on a very extensive scale, which gives us, at least, a peculiar condition of atmosphere. It has been computed that several tons of sulphur are daily thrown off, within our limits, by the combustion of stone coal; many important gases are also disengaged, to mingle in every breath we breathe, and possibly to exert a direct agency in neutralizing or modifying the unseen, and, as yet, unknown, cause of cholera, and perhaps of other diseases. It is remarkable that intermittent fevers, and diseases produced by malarial emanations, have never prevailed extensively in this city. In many of the town and cities in the western and southern sections of the United States, where such emanations are abundant, the mortality, from cholera, has been very great. How far the introduction of coal, as an article of fuel, would counteract the evil, is, at least, a subject worthy of consideration. In London the mortality from all other diseases has materially decreased since the introduction of coal; and in London, Manchester, and Liverpool, in all of which, coal is now very generally used, the mortality of cholera has been comparatively light, in pro portion to the population. These considerations, though not strictly within the scope of this communication, are thrown out for the purpose of imparting a feeling of confidence and firmness to the minds of our citizens, so far as that may reasonably be done, and, also, with reference to the important bearing they must have, if confirmed by future experience, on the prospects and interests of Pittsburgh. It is evident, however, that the epidemic influence, producing cholera asphyxia, with all its characteristic symptoms, has been, for the last month, extensively at work among us, About 30 of our citizens have fallen Thermometer. 63 || SW 3 Monday 70 70 N W W 7 Friday 70 W W W 12 Wedne'y 13 Thursd'y 14 Friday 15 Saturday |
