From The Albany Journal, Nov. 30
The mild weather of the past few days has aided the strenuous efforts of the officers in charge to push forward the boats that were frozen in last week. A light boat drawn by six horses was sent out yesterday afternoon, equipped for the purpose of breaking the ice between here and Troy, and we learn it was successfully accomplished.
From the dispatches and reports below, it will be seen that navigation has been resumed at various points along the line, yesterday and to-day.
There is now a reasonable prospect that the produce and merchandise will all reach its destination or convenient points for unloading.
