Ordered by the Legislature of Sleuth Caro-m lina. iS THE undersigned Commissioners, ap-l pointed by the General Assembly of jj South Carolina, at its late session, will 8 receive bids for the valuable WATER? POWER known as the COLUMBIA CANAL, P until the first day of April next. The Canal is eight thousand six hundred and fifty-four yards long, and the average fall for the first three mdes is fourteen feet, commencing at ten feet at Upper street, in Columbia, and attaining nineteen feet one inch at Bridge street; the remaining two miles, from Bridge street to its mouth,' commences at nineteen feet ten inches, and attains a fall o| twenty-five feet. Fine building sites exist between the canal and river, giving complete protection to budd? ings and machinery from freshets. The State, through the "undersigned, will con? vey the canal and all its appurtenances, together with the right of way for sixty feet on each side of the centre of tho canal to the purchasor. Compensation to the adjacent land owners for tho right of way, to be made by the purchaser, on the same just and equitable terms that the right of way was conveyed to the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, by Act of 15th December, 1845. This power has been accurately surveved by Prof. John LeConte, of the South Caro? lina University; his report, together with tho Act of theGcnoral Assembly and this advertisement, has been printed, and may bo obtained by addressing Jas. G. Gibbes, Esq., Mayor of Columbia. Prof. LeConte estimates that by doubling the original capacity of thc canal, as re? quired by the Act, that the power secured to Bridge street will be 355 horse-power, the averago head being fourteen feet; and from Bridge street to its mouth 532 horse? power, with an average head of twenty-one toot, and a current of one foot per second. With a current of two feet per Bccond, tho gowers would be 710 and 1,064 horse-power; and if the machinery is not run at night, tho power may be doubled by accumulat? ing water in reservoirs. ? " "As tho supply of water," savs Prof. LeConte, "which "may bo turned from the river into tho canal at its head, is almost unlimited, the canal can be enlarged to an extent commensurate with tho demand for water power. If. desired, it may be made to supply water to the extent of 5,000 horse? power or more. In fact, by very simple arrangements, one-third or one-half, or even more, of the wholo water in Broad River, might bo turned into such an en? larged canal." This water power is literally within the city of Columbia. Tho city is now supplied by railroads penetrating nearly every Dis? trict in the State, furnishing the produc? tions of cotton, rico, wheat, beef and pro? visions, with little expense at this Important ooinT. ?h* "ify of Columbia is supplied wi Lh gas and cooa Wt?ier? the climate is salubrious and nealthy, being ?hove ?he miasmatic region, and invites, for pleasant settlement and society, mercnants, artisans,'?k?Ma? nics, manufacturers and persons of for? tune and leisure. The property will be sold on the following conditions, to wit: 1st. The purchaser shall, within two years from the date of conveyance, complete tho widening and deepening of said canal to at least twice it i origininal capacity. (Its original capacity was fifteen feet wide at top, eight feet a"t bottom and four feet in depth; to double it according to Prof. LeConte's report, it will require th^ removal of 36,107 cubic yards of earth, and 3,200 cubic yards of stone to Bridge street, and from Bridge street to its mouth 22,176 cubic vards of earth-no stone to be removed.) That the same shall always bo kept open for boating purposes, freo of charges, to where it is now used. (This will not interfere at all with the water power for driving machine? ry, as beats only descend as far as the first lock, near Upper street.) That the water shall not become stag? nant, and that it shall not be used for other than hydraulic purposes. That one-third of the sum bid shall be paid within thirty days after notice of ac? ceptance of bid; one-third at the expiration of six months therefrom, and tho remain? ing third at thc expiration of twelve months. Titles delivered on payment of first instalment, and that the title herein proposed to be conveyed shall revert to the State, on default being made of any of the foregoing conditions, including payment of all the purchase money. This water power with its location, in the judgment of tho Commissioners, is un? equaled by any in the State of South Caro? lina, and "not " surpassed by any in the Southern country. Parties sending bids will please furnish tho Commissioners with references as to the ability promptly to make good the same. All the communications may be addressed to tho undersigned at Columbia, S.
