We are glad to learn that Dr. Howard, one of our most experienced, able and scientific Engineers, has been ordered to make a reconnoisance of the Monongahela River, between Pittsburgh and Brownsville, with a view to the adoption of a plan for its improvement, and to furnish such information to Congress as will enable it to make an appropriation adequate to the object contemplated by the act of the last Session — And we presume that the same course will be taken in relation to the improvements proposed in the same act, for the Mississippi from the mouth to the Kaskaskia River—and for the Mississippi, from St. Louis to the mouth of the Missouri.
