The Enquirbr-Sun has long contended that the Chattahoochee river, taken in connection with Apolacbioola and Flint rivers, is one of the most valuable channels of commerce that is pos sessed by this city. This is made patent by the fact that it flows throngh one of the finest sec tions of country in the south, and the freights by steamers are ao low as to be merely nominal. That it is valuable as a trade channel, the figure* for the year’s business ending the first of Juno, demonstrate too clearly to need other argument. That it can be largely increased, no shall under take to show. But as to the BUSINESS FOR THE PAST YEAR, the statement is a most gratifying one. It shows an increase over the previous year of $746,753, and an increase over 1884 of f l ,091,72ft. Below we give a table showing the actual business done on the three rivers for the fiscal year ending June 1st, 1886. We include the Flint and Apalachicola rivers, as they are so closely allied with the trade as to give the trade a local significance.

Acting upon the reply of Governor McDaniel, Judge Brooks yesterday decided to revoke the order, and has appointed Judge W. H. Brannon temporary treasurer.

The large increase of the river business for the present year is mainly due to the improved con- dition of the rivers ns a result of government ap propriations, thus enabling the steamboats to run the year through, by the further fact of their railroad connections. The steamboats connect with railroad lines below and offer through rates for cotton and merchandise to and from all points east and north in competition with the local roads. This increases very materially the amount of business to our steamboats and enables the merchants of Columbus to compete very favorably in freights with other points now so favorably located. THE RATES ON THE RIVER are not classified as they are for the railroads. Each article is enumerated with the rate attached. The rates can he obtained from any of the steam- ■ boat agents, but to show how low they are vie give some of them on leading articles. From Columbus to Euftiula is 8ft miles, to Fort Gaines 118 miles, to Chattahoochee 223 miles and to | Apalachicola 360 miles, but the same rate applies \ to all these and to intermediate points. With reference to groceries the lowest rate on the river | is live cents per barrel of Hour, meal, grits or anything of that character. On bacon and bulk | meat it is 4c. per 100 lbs. packed or 5c. per 100 j lbs. loose. In the way of hardware all plows I ami attachments, such as singletrees, rods, clevi- I ses, etc., is 5c. per 100 lbs. Dry goods boxed per cubic foot, fertilizers 40c. per ton, and < thing else in that proportion. RAIL RO A D ('O N N EOT IONS are made at four points on these riv Fort Gaines, Chattahoochee and Bu order that the merchants of Columbus may the matter right before them in order to iiu gate as to what points they can sell good give the rates out from the places named by For instance, if they desire to send their t down into southwest Georgia, here are the on the Eufaula, dge. In As to the above instances, rates from Columbus to these points can be ascertained by adding river rates. THE GEORGIA MIDLAND AND GULF. The D ork That Is Heine Done Alone tht Line—A Butch of Interesting Paragraphs. The grading on this end of the line has reached the park. There are several grade points opened and men at work thereon in the park and just hack of the cemetery. f’hief Engineer Greene has gone to Covington to meet the engineer corps which is running the preliminary between Locust Grove and Coving- tine of the camps of the Chairahooehee Brick company moved their quarters Friday to a point beyond Shiloh. They had. finished their work on tliis end of the line. In spite of the rains, the grading is making rapid progress. Experienced judges say the best organized force ever on a Georgia railway is the one now on the Midland. There are about eleven hundred hands now employe.!. Steel rails for the first twenty miles will arrive in August, when track laying will promptly be- gin. The iron bridge for Bull c:eek is being built by ti e Phenix bridge company. That is a guarantee that it will be a good one. The first locomotives to reach the road will be built by the Baldwin works, and have every mod ern improvement. Cross-ties will begin to be delivered July 1st. The specifications call for an inch more in thick ness than most of the roads demand, yet the ex perience of some of the most successful systems show it is best and safest. Albrecht’s patent box-lid will be used on the Georgia Midland. That is a solid recognition of home talent. Columbus rejoices in the success other inventors. The culvert pipe used on the road bears the im print of a southern furnace. The south is learn ing to take care of herself 5 n many of the needed manufactures. The bonds of the Midland are the perfection of the engraver’s art. The skill displayed in their execution reflects credit on American artists. U is gratifying to see every detail of the road, and its equipment of the ven best quality. I; pays in the end to have only first-class railroads, capable of high speed and heavy hauls. Work on the tunnel has made consideiable progress. The formation is sand stone of a fair quality. The approaches are being worked n\»m both sides. We learn the spikes and angle plates for this road will be of southern iron and southern manu facture. Thus benefits beget one another—home market and home products. Ellerslie and Waverly Hall were the last point.- canvassed for subscriptions and the first to see the new road. The proximity of the two event- surprised some of our quiet country friends. RIVER NEWS. Arrival of the steamer Naiad. •ing tb Since the interview with Mr. W. L. Clark, which appeared in the Lnquibbb*£un juut a week ago to-day, the citizen* cf Columbus have been exceedingly hopeful that the extension of the Co lumbus and We*tern railroad from Goodwater to Birmingham would prove a reality at an early day. They recognized the fact that Mr. Clark would make no positive statement without the beat reason in the world for ao doing. This was an assurance that the extension would be made, yet the information was a source of so much grat ification that there has been an inclination to have this assurance doubly assured. This morn ing the Enquirer-Sun is frilly prepared to do this, and to give it from the highest authority connected with the road. A TALK WITH TUB PRESIDENT. Learning that Captain W. G. Raoul, president of the road, was in the city, a representative of the Enquirer-Sun sought an interview with him on the subject. On making known our wishes to him and assuring him that this was a matter in which the people of Columbus and allthis sec tion felt a deep interest and were anxious for all the in form .at ion that could be given them, he ! said that there was ncthing in connection with I the extension that he desired to keep from the j public. He then informed us that everything j said by Mr. Clark in the interview last Sunday ; morning was true, with possibly the exception of I the cost of the road. The statement made by Mr. i Clark was that it would probably cost about $1,480.- 000. This. Captain Raoul said, would be about the cost of construction, but to strengthen the ; old line and to give proper terminal equipments it would amount to at least $17,50.000. Hence Captain Raoul confirms all said bv Mr. Clark, ex cept that in estimating the cost of the road his figures were not hardly high enough. WHEN THE WORK WILL BEGIN. In regard to the work on the extension. Capt. Raoul talked very frankly. He informed us that the engineers are already at work. There are three routes—the lower, the middle and what is called the northern route. The middle route passes through such a rough and mountainous country that it has been abandoned as impracti cable. The northern route ia shorter, but the country is much more broken than the lower route by way of Columbiana. It will be necessary, therefore, to run two preliminary lines—one by the way of Columbiana and along the Louisville and Nashville from Siluria or Helena, and the other by the way of Childersburg and the j Wewaka Valley— before it is determined which ine will be selected. As soon as the selection as o which route will be taken israade. the location j will be begun and hands will at once be put upon the grading. THE TRACK LAYING. ) The route from Goodwater to Sylacauga, a dis tance of 14C miles, is practicable for both lines. The grading has already bten done between | these two points, and also a portion of the line to Childersburg has been graded. Captain Raoul I informed us that he is now contracting for iron for the road, and that just as soon as he could j ; et ready for it. will begin laying the iron be- I tween Goodwater and Svlacauga. He does not believe it will be practical to do this before the first of September, but as the road was already ' graded it would be done just as soon as possible. THE CONNECTIONS BEYOND. ! Another bit of very interesting information | furnished us by Captain Raoul was that the en- ! t ire line from Kansas City to New York via Mem- 1 phis. Birmingham, Columbus and Savannah will 1 be under the exclusive management oi only two re ads—the Kansas City, Springfield and Memphis , and the Central railroad of Georgia. The road 1 between Birmingham and Memphis is called the ' Birmingham, Memphis and Atlantic, but the ! ownership is in the Kansas City. Springfield and ■ Memphis road. We have the authority of Capt. Raoul that this is t he first time anything tangible j has been presented to the Central so far as secur- | ing connections north of Birmingham is con- | ctrned. THE SHORTEST TO NEW YORK, i The extension of the Columbus and Western, and the new line between Birmingham and i Memphis, gives the shortest line that can be had j between Kansas City and New York. Thebeau- • ty of it is that Columbus is on the direct line, and a rule placed on the map will show this city to be j almost on an air line between Kansas City and Savannah, where the line connects with the Ocean Steamship company for New York. The I distance is ' From Kansas City to Memphis 487 miles 1 From Memphis to Birmingham 2.1.0 miles From Birmingham to Columbus 160 miles ! From Columbus to Savannah 300 miles | Milking length of railroad 1197 miles ; To this add 250 miles, the prorating distance i between Savannah and New Ycrk, and you have ! the freight and passenger distance between Kau i sa? City and New York, which is 1447, or add 750 ' miles, the actual distance from Savannah to New York, and it gives the distance from Kansas Oily to New York, which is It-47 miles. THE ADVANTAGE piecing us on the shortest ity and New York, it gives o all the markets of the in direct connection with the greatest coal and iron fields cf the south. Tnat the load will be built is as absolutely cer tain as anything net a reality can be. We were never more fully convinced oi anything than we were cf this fact, after the conversation with Captain Raoul. While the -interview was sought by the Enquirer-Sun, he did not hesitate to speak candidly, and expressed a pleasure at be ing able to give the people ol' Columbus the in formation they were anxious to obtain.
