CHEAP TRANSPORTATION. Report of J. C. Long, Civil En gineer, upon the most fa vorable Route for the At lantic & Great West ern Canal. An Able and Convincing Docu ment. i Chattanooga Tima*. r ". To™ 11 ™™ Fart, Chairman cf Committee of the Board of trade of the City of Chattanoi- <ja, i enn.: Dear Sr*: At your request I submit the following Report ou the Canal to connect the lenncssee and Coosa rivers: There are three routes spoken of for a canal to connect the above mentioned rifers. The first known as the Hiwassee route be- ginning at the mouth of Hiwassee river as cending that stream by means of slack water to a point where it approaches very closely to the Conasauga rivor, thence by canal to the Conasauga river, and down that stream and the Oostenanla river by slack water, to the Coosa river at Rome, Georgia. I will not consider that route In this article, as it is so circuitous that it will fall far short of the pur pose intended, fora canal to connect the above mentioned rivers, ns a liuk in the Atlantic and (,reat Western Canal line. The second, known as the Sand Mountain route, begins atGuntersville.on the Tennessee river, and extends by canal and slack water to Gadsden, on the Coosa river. This route has recently been surveyed by myself, by direction of Major Walter McFarland, Corps of Engin eers, United States Army, and my report Show* the estimated cost to be $iq 070 aat To this Major McFarland adds, for in creasing the capacity of storage, res ervoirs, and extra cutting in shorten ing the line, etc 1,500,000 00 ToU1 -j $11,670,607 00 which is the total estimated cost as shown in Major McFarland’s report, which is pub lished in the annual report of the Chief of Engineers to the Secretary of War, for the year 1872. Bat probably tha best route for a canal to make the proposed connection i« by that known as the Chickamauga route. It has not yet been surveyed to determine the probable cost, bat enough is known of the country through which it passes to make an estimate with a considerable degree of accuracy. The improvement would probably begin at the month of Chickamauga creek on the Tennessee river, five miles above Chattanooga, passing up the Chickamanga twelve miles by means of slack water navigation, thence by canal thir teen miles farther along the bunks of the same stream to a point above and near Ring- gold, Georgia, thence by canal seven miles across to Cooyehulla creek, thence by canal along the banks of the creek ten miles* to the Conasauga river, thence down the Conasauga and Oostenaula rivers sixty miles by slack water to the Coosa river at Rome. Georgia. From the above we see that the distances by the Chickamauga route from Guntersville, Ala., to Rome, Ga., are os follows: 135 miles of river navigation via the Tennessee to the mouth of Chickamauga creek—72 miles of slack water navigation and 60 miles of canal navigation from the mouth of the Chica- mauga. to Rome. Total from Guntersville, Ala., to Rome, Ga., via the Chickamauga ronte, 237 miles. By the Sand Mountain route the distances are as follows: Canal navigation and slack- water navigation from Guntersvilie, on the Tennessee, to Gadsdeu, on the Coosa river, miles, river navigation via Coosa river] from Gadsden to Rome, 135 miles. Total from Guntersville to Rome, via Sand Moun tain route, 1861 miles. This shows that the Sand Monntain ronte is 51A miles shorter than the Chickamauga route; but thi9 advantage I propose to show is more than over-balanced by a great many advantages possessed by the last Darned route, some of which I will now enumerate. First, the great difference in cost The im provement via Chickamauga, I estimate as follows: 30 miles of canal trunk, at $50,000 per .$1,500,400 2.160,000 72 mile* of slack water improvement at $30,000 per mile 150 feet of lockage ascending summit st $5,000 per foot 300,000 2u0 feet of lockage descending from summit at $2,000 per foot 400,000 $4,360,000 Total A Id 10 per cent, for engineering and tingeuci es ..7. 436,000 _ Total estimated cost $4,796,000 Estimated cost of Sand Mountain Canal 11,’67(L607 Difference in favor of Chickamauga Canal.... 6,774)907 Second, the abundant supply of water for the Canal to be obtained at all seasons from Cooyelenlla and Chickamauga creeks. While by the other ronte for fonr months of the year, the necessary supply of water enn only be obtained from storage reservoirs, at great expense. Third, the great difference in lockage, which is not only an advantage in the re duced cost, bnt in the saving of time in pass ing a boat through. By tha Sand Mountain ronte there is 804 feet of lockage, which, averaging 10 feet to the lock, makes 80 locks to be passed Uirongh in going from the Ten nessee to the Coosa, and coanting 7 minutes as the time occupied by a boat in passing through each lock, the time consumed by dockage on one passage is 002 minutes or abont ten hours. By the Chickamanga ronte there is 355 teet of lockage, eonnting ten feet to (acb look, makes thirty-five locks on the whole ronte, and seven minntes to each lock, makes the time consumed by lockage on the whole passage, 245 minntes, or about fonr hoars. Bat by the other ronte the time con sumed is ten hours, showing a difference in favor of the Chickamanga roate of six hours. A saving of time nearly soffioient to overcome the fifty-one and a half miles distance against that roate. Fonrth, the material to be excayaled will be mostly earth, which will not only be cheap to handle, bnt will be of a nature calculated to retain water in a canal, without great ex pense in obtaining paddling clay. Across Sand Moantam—the material to be met with is mostly solid rock, which is expensive to ex cavate, and where earth exists it is sandy and porous, not adapted to retaining water, and great expanse wonld be incurred in obtaining clay for puddle. The great cost of the Sand Mountain Canal is dne to to the disadvantages that I have spoken of. If a survey of tha route via Chick- n manga is ever made I am satisfied that the rough estimate that I have made will be found nearly correct; aDd Major McFarland wonld probably have the surveys made if requested to do so by those interested. This ronte not only possesses great advan tages over all others in its cheapness of con struction, bnt, when once opened, it will be an outlet for the great mineral region of East Tennessee. It will take the coal irom the al most inexhaustible mines along the upper Tennessee, in barges, and distribute it by means of the Atlantic and Great Western Ca nal from one end of Georgia to the other, at priceethat weald now be considered fabu lously low. It would bring the rich agricul tural products of the Northwest, and pour them into her store houses, to feed the labor ers in her cotton fields andfthe artisans in her ironworks. With the Muscle Shoals Canal opened, this line will be to Georgia, the Em pire State of the Sonth, what the Erie Canal is to New York, the Empire State of the Worth. It will he the great artery throngh life giving vigor that will and pulsate through every branch ndustry, commerce and agriculture. James C. Loan, Civil Engineer. Chattanooga, May 15, 1873.

Tomumsok Fobt, Josh W. Lorn, Cats. Susqcist, ,,, , Committee. Chattanooga, May 15, 1873. Ta* Bmcms nr CraannUTi.—Cincinnati, May 15.—Interesting and nnnsual ceremo nles took place to-night at the First Presbyto nan Church, On the occasion of the installs, tion of the Rev. George B. Beecher as pastor. This is the pioneer chnrch of Cincinnati, or ganized in 1700, and the first rude chnrch in Cincinnati; was bnilt partly on the ground occupied by the present edifice, on the north side of Fourth street. The congregation has had ten pastors, including the one installed to night. The Rev. J. L. Wilson held the posi tion oi pastor the lengest time, and upon the arrival of Dr. Lym% Beecher, the grand father of the present pastor, preferred charges of heresy against Beecher. He also opposed, on the same gronnd, the ordination of George Beecher, the father of the fastor installed to night. Henry Ward Beecher, who resided at Walnut Hill during these times, preached the installation sermon. Half an hour before the service the house was filled to repletion, and the crowd from the door to the street was so dense that ingress and egress was utterly im possible. Outsiders were so importnue, and pnahed and surged about the door, breaking the glass, murmuring and creating sneh eon- fnsion, that, after announcing his subject, Mr. Beecher Bat down and waited for the confn-l sion to be qnieted. His address of fifty min ntes contained no allusion to the chnrch rela tions of his father. The bronze gun presented by the Emperor of Germany to the German Protestant Chnrch at Titnsviile, Pa., is thus described by the Herald of that city: It is a bronze 18-ponnd- er field piece, 7 feet 8 inches in length, 5 inch bore, and weighs 1,944 pounds. It cost when new about $4,000, and is worth at least $2,000 for old metal. On the breech is engraved, ‘ 'Bouiges, July 27,1869,” indicating the place and date of its manufacture. In front of the touchhole is the letter “N,” snrronnded by a floral wreath, nnd surmounted by the Impe rial Crown of France. The name of the gun, “Le Mauvais,” or the fiend, is carved - on the mnzzle. The battle of Sedan was the first service into which the gnu was brought, but it was not fired during the battle. It is cer tainly one of the finest pieces of foreign ord nance ever brought to this country. The Atlanta Herald. Announcement for 1873. Established only in August o last year, he Atlanta Herald has, in five short months, risen to the front rank of Georgia journalism, and has obtained a circulation which has not any precedent in the history of Sonthern newspapers. When first issued, the proprietors declared their purpose to make the Herald a bold, outspoken paper, independent of all political parties, cliques and rings ard devoted solely to the interests of the masses, without regard to class or station. The condition of politi cal parties in the Sonth was such, that un der no circumstances could the Herald give its support to Radicalism; hence, it has in variably advocated the election of Democrats to office, such advocacy being based upon the capacity of candidates. The Herald, there fore, has assumed the position of an inde pendent Democratic newspaper, and will con tinue to hold it, so long as the Democracy remain the political party which serves the people with more honesty and ability than any other party in the State. Nevertheless, the Herald will continue, in the future, as in |the past, to criticise men aud measures, without regard to political prejudices and affiliations, condemning everything its pro prietors believe injurious to the interests of Georgia, and praising and supporting all that they believe likely to promote the pros perity of the State and the happiness of her people. As a newspaper, the Herald is already ad mitted to be without a rival in Georgia. E vents transpire with such rapidity that every per son who desires to keep pace with the times, mast have a live daily or weekly paper. Our |columns will be found to give the very latest news on every subject Whatever of inter est occurs in any part of the world is made known to our readers, and all the various top ics of the day are discussed intelligently and without bias. Never before in the history of the world |was it more necessary for every person who can read to subscribe for a newspaper. The straggle between centralism and Constitu tional Democratic Government is entering upon a new phase. Gigantic railroad and bond rings at the North control and direct the legislation of Congress, and as their in terest can only be advanced by the existence of a strong, centralized government, they are passing laws, ono by one, whose ultimate de sign is to reduce the States to the con dition of mere provinces. Encroachments more radical and startling than ever have been made on the rights of the peopl.a The South has been converted into a second Ire land; her governments overturned by the mandate of a petty judge, backed by federal bayonets ; her people plundered by foreign adventurers and native scoundrels, and her libel ties crushed out with a ruthlessness which has not any parallel save in Poland, Ireland, and Hungary. To-day the men who struggled through six years of bloody warfare, and the children of the martyrs to the cause of South ern Independence are political slaves, and what their future is to be, remains shrouded in impenetrable darkness. Meantime, the terrible corruptions of the party in power, as proven by the Credit Mobilier expositions, implicating the outgoing and incoming Vice Presidents, together with a large number of the most prominent leaders of the Radicals, are undermining the very foundation of Dem ocratic institutions, and paving the way for —npire. * ■- 0 While in the United States there is much of mournful interest to attract the reade^of cotemporary history, abroad the drama is equally exciting and important France is still kept unquiet by the violence of political factions; in Great Britain the masses are moving towards Democracy; in Germany the Church question has assumed formidable proportions; in Italy the situation increases in interest, while in Spain there are evidences that the revolution which placed Amadeus on the throne is not yet ended. Everywhere, in short, do we daily witness new and startling occurrences, the regular and faithful record of which makes the Herald a perfect history of the world. With a large corps of competent and ex perienced editors, correspondents and repor ters, and with arrangements concluded or making for letters from all parts of the world can promise to the reading pnblic a paper which will, in every respect, satisfy their de sires. Literature, science, the arts, will all receive attention. Our apricultuAl, com mercial and manufacturing interests will be earnestly and steadfastly supported, and our columns will always be kept open to poor and rich alike.

The under8igiuhave seen-Dm “ Briuley Shaft Plow ” at work for two days, bedding for cotton, working iu corn and cotton, aud have worked it ourselves, and we express our entire satisfaction with it iu every way. It makes au elegant bed at every trip, aud thoroughly pulverizes tbe land at the same time. After bed ding. we plowed down the bed ou the water furrow—the place for guano, reversing the bed and covering the guano at th.- same time. In corn planted in six feet rows, one round cleared the row. and left the land in splen did order, which would have required five furrows with a single plow, thus saving over one-half the labor, and doing the work equally as well, if not better. Cotton rows from three to three aud a half feet, were cleared at one furrow, which would have required two furrows with any other plow. As a cultivator it surpasses any thing wo ever saw, and for bedding lands after being broken, it canuot be surpassed, as it does the work of three men and mules. We cheerfully give it our fullest endorsement and recommendation, as the greatest la. een on our farms, or in this country.
