In announcing the arrival of a few blocks of the columns for the Capitol, we omitted to mention, that, by means of the canal which intersects the city and is now completely navigable, the blocks are landed within a few hundred yards of the Capitol; no little convenience this, when we consider that some of the blocks are supposed to weigh as much as five tons. The Canal is now in full operation, and we have daily arrivals, at our doors, of boats loaded with merchandize, wood and building materials.
