POTOMAC CANAL.
The most strenuous exertions are ma
king by the friends of the Potomac Canal
to tin ther the accomplishment of that object.
Meetings have been held in Maryland
particularly one at Frederick town. The
result is, that a still more general meeting
i« to he held at Washington on the 6th of
November—to take into consideration the
best measures for accomplishing the con
templated object. Since the convention at
Frederiv ktown, meetings have been held in
some of the counties of irginia, interested
in the improvement of the Potomac, to ap
point dcpvilies to attend the meeting at
Washington. The first and most impor
tant of these was at Leesburg, Loudoun
«minty, mi the a!5lh August, at winch the
delegates were appointed—who hate since
addressed a circular to the contiguous
enmities—Air.Charles Fenton .Mercer their
chairman. The circular states that the “ob

operation of sev el ,d States w ith the got el'll-I
meut ufthe U. H., and linni its magnitude,
the coni iirrcnt and gr-alnus support of all
