'! i i i New Orleans to lie the Crain Depot of the West. The main object cf the Convention which assembled in New Orleans a few days ago, was to devise means of directing the grain o'.' the Northwest from Chicago and the lakes and canals of the North to the Mis- issippi river via New Orleans, in its pas sage to New Yo k and to Liverpool. And it is asserted that this movement is bound to succeed, from the fact mainly that transportation by the latter route is much cheaper than by Chicago. The cost of transportation on a bushel of wheat from Dubuque, Iowa, to New York, by way of Chicago is 523 cents, while it has been as certained that the cost per bushel from the same point to Ne- York by way of New Orleans, is only 34} cents, a saving of 13} cents on the bnshel by the latter route.— The cost from Dubuque to Liverpool, by way of New Orleans is only 441 cents, or 7} ceuts per bushel less than by the North ern route to New York, even while the time to Liverpool by both routes is the same. If these advantages claimed by New Or leans are genuine, there can be no dcubt that in a short time the bulk of the grain trade of the Northwest will be transferred from Chicago to that place, and that the Father of Waters will become the great highway of transit for the Western cereals to foreign markets The effect of such a consultation on New Orleans would be to make it, in a few years the second city in commercial importance in the Union—the great store house and shipping point of the grain as well as cotton of the West and South. In view of our rather intimate connec tion with New Orleans, by way of Selma aud Mobile, and of the probable increase of our transportation facilities to the Cres cent City, by the roads soon to be con structed from Now Orleans to Mobile and from Mobile to Selma direct, besides the contemplated opening of the Coosa river, may we not hope to become sharers to some extent in the benefits of this movenraut in the gram trade ? It is possible that our merchauts may find in New Orleans a bel ter market for their wheat, dried fruit and cotton even, than they have heretofore ob tained in New York. juU e of the Home Circuit. Frank A. Kirby, of Chattooga county, has been appointed Judire of the new Rome Circuit. He is a popular gentleman, well known in the upper countizs of the Circuit, and possesses many of the qualifications that pertain to a good Judge. We hope he will take early steps to clear the dockets of business that has becu accummuta'ting dur ing the past eight years. Our New Commander Arrived. Gen.

On our recent trip to Louisville we were gratified to notice the almost uuiforin prosperous condition aud fine promise of the growing erops.

Just at dusk last Friday evening tlierc was an alarm of fire at the Sash and Blind and Furniture Factory of Mills, Daily & Co. The fire originated in a pile of trash and shavings, probably from a cinder from tie smoke stack. The fire spread rapidly and soon was blazing up some six or eight feet. There was fortunately one of the Patent Fire Ex tinguishers in the shop, already charged, and this being brought to discharge its con tents on the fast spreading flames, with al most miraculous effect, almost instantly ex tinguished the fire. The escape of the en tire buildings and their coutents was no less fortunate than wonderful. We are proud to chronicle the fact that both fire engines, with wonderful prompti- titude, were brought ont, and by their en ergy, the Companys showed that they pos sess the right sort of material in their ranks. We would suggest that some ar rangement ought to be made by which horses should be in readiness to haul the engines in all eases of fires. Another Alarm of Fire. Our citizens were startled last Suuday evening, while at supper, with the cry of fire. It originated from the carelessness of a servant in the employ of Mr. Abrahams, who resides in Dr. King’s houses, in setting fire to some kerosene while filling the lamps, The fire was soon extinguished, but not till after some curtains, bed clothes, etc., bad been burned. The fire Companies again acted prompt ly, and showed that they are ever quick to act whenever there is an alarm of fire. Overtoil Hotel. Memphis.

This paper, the first appearance of which iu New York caused such a sensation in aewspaper circles throu.-hont the country, and which was at first considered a clever canard gotten up for the purpose of creat ing a little diversion among politicians, not only still survives, but according to its pub lisher, is rapidly extending its circulation and influence. Speakiug for itself, the Im perialists says : “We notice that, as a general thing, the tone of bandit-oge and ridicule with which so many greeted our appearance, has been dropped as if by common consent.

As the doll summer approaches, people become, discouraged, and think the South will never regain her former position, wealth and prestige., Jjfo country is making more strides onward faster than pur section. The exports of cotton, rice, sugar aud tobacco, are still, as they were before the war, great er than the combined exports of the North, East and Yfest.

What Is “Oue-Hane Fewer S” The use of. the term “horso.powet”. is very common; yet few, except goed mechan ics and engineers, attach a definite mean.- ing to it, but regard it as indicating, loose ly, about the power which one horse could exert. ' It is, however, when used in the sense under consideration, ns definite as possible, and means the power required to lift 33,000. pognds- ayoirju; oiae, one foot higbin one minute, ~ lA' horse hitched'to the end ofaroj sy one inch in diameter pi a deep well, traveling at the Tate of. abate 2} miles per hour, or220 feet per minute, will draw up 150 poring, trip some distance he travels. The force thus exerted is call ed in mechanics, “horse-power,” it being in approxiinatiou to the average' amount of continuous power it is fair to demand of a strong horse. If we multiply the weight raised (150 pounds) by the number of feet it was moved, per minute (220) tbe product will be the number of pounds which the same power would raise one foot high in the same length of time (33,000 pounds.)

This may also become the condition of the Uni ted States, if you do not, exercise more self- dependence. You imagine that by your own strength of arm, yon may and can maintain the situation, and avert all' this; but I tell you'theie is a power you cannot control unless you bring a power of suffi cient force and strength against it, and that is the money capital which is working night ajd day. It is this that has made .England and France powerful. Before England controlled this vast cap ital power, she was torn nearly asunder by dissentions. Disturbances were frequent, and she was always in a state of revolution. The monopoly was broken np, and the mon ey is now used for the furtherance of in dustrial objects. Through this means England has been enabled to control one-third of the trade of the globe.
