[A.I
Augusta, It a., August 14th, 1868.
Hon. Benjamin Conley, Mayor of Augusta ;
Sir—ln compliance with >our request made on
the 10th instant, I have examined ihe Savannah
River ,t and near the Augusta Bridge, and the oi l
and new bridges of the South Carolina Ra lro and
Company, in reference to the new bridge being an
obstruction to the navigation of the river, and
the work done can be more clearly shown by draw
ings than described in words, I herewith submit a
draught showing the relative position of the bridges
mentioned, and the depth of the water at various
po uta Irom the foot ot McTntoeb street to the lower
end of the whart below tie Augusta Bridge, also,
a diagram showing the new bridge and the Augusta
Bridge with their piers and the depth of the water
at them in a vertical poeiti n.
In viewing drawings, it should be borne in
mind that whenever tbe new bridge lor the Railroad
is completed the old Railroad bridge is to be re
moved.
As the drawings show clearly the result of the ex
amination, it will not be necessary to tronb e you
with the details. I beg leave, however, to submit
a few remaiks, woicb 1 trust will enable you to ap
preciate fully the value ot the information obtained..
I presume it is well enough known that Augusta
is at the bead of navigation for a certain class of
boats, and that at so . e point near it the class of
boats must be Changed to extend tbe navigation to
a higher point. It is also weli known that Augusta
is at the toot of a long line of rapids in the Savan
nah River, and the port or harbor of Augusta is, as
it were, a basin, with alluvial banks and bars liable
to change with the fluctuations in the river, which
are at times great floods, while at otber limes it rqgy
be forded by men barrows. Tjesp fluc
tuations produce chargee in the sides and bottom
of the basin near the city, wbTcb are perfect y in
dependent of the cb&ngesjjrodnced by artificial ob
structions, but they are .'low y, sorely and perma
nently made ; however, they may escape the alien
ticouf these who oonnae iheir i-bservaticDS to a
particular point in which they may happen to be in
Lereeted.
U*.der ordinary circumstances it is easy ic deter
mine the point at which a stream ceases to be navi
gable, ana what is to be considered obstructions to
the navigable portion of it, but in this case the
changes before mentioned may make at titres a dif
ference of several hundred lee , and itie weil known
that at no very remote period the navigation of tbe
river extended to near tbe upper end of the city
and that warehouses and wnarvee Were
there to facilitate tbe sh pment of produce Iron
them. These warehouses and wharves are n w
useless for that purpose, because the char ges in the
bed of the river has moved tne bead of navigation
to a place lower down ; tht se changes are still in
progress, ana the day is not cistant when the heac
of navigation will be below ail the bridges aot
wharves for all craft navigating the lower portion
of the river.
To show you that this opinion ie based upon acun’
theory, 1 venture to state tome of the facts as 1
have observed item : At and below the mouth ol
Hawk’s Gully there is a ledge of rocks, which, ii
very tow river is bare and reduces the width ot tht
river a: that point to from two thirds to one-half it*
width, when at its ordinary height In low river
this ledge is as a dam. and in ordinary river it is-a*
a jetty or break water, end in both cases it Carrie,
tne main current ts ihe nver to tbe Carolina bank
As this ledge is near the lower end of ex r eoeive ra
pids its c fleet as a jetiy is Constant only daring tow
and ordinary states of the river, ai.d m mgh rive
and fl ode it chargee ve?y mneh. The drift eaLd
cl wixich the bare in tbe oaein of Augusta if ocm
posed, is constantly passing down tte rapids, bv
the incieaetd transporting power of tne current* ii
them, and in tow and ordinary river it is deposited
below the l<-dge, be ause it checks the stream ano
diminishes its transporting power to a oonsuterabie
extent. The average slope of the rapids is about
ten feet per mile, and the clops of ths tea of tse
rivsr from Hawk’s Golly to ths Bridge li itoflllUT
‘eet oor mile, aod ’bis shows how the transportieg
power is ‘oet. In conformity with this theory it is
found that a sand bar is termed in the river, extend
ing from the ieege nt Hawk’s Gul y to eome dis
auce below ihe Augu-*ta Bridge ; in th ; s extent, it
is 84 me what irrecuUr in its height, and prest-nrs a
waved sunace, the fit st wave is highest aitbe ledge
arid lowest opposite McKinoe street; the next wave
is highest just below Marhury street, and lowest op
uo.-ite Campbell.street, nnd the third io highest at
Jackson, aod io west ac Wishing ton street. B-side
t'©se there id a simtlar wave.~ bar opposite Mrs i
Girduer’s, below ihe Bridge. These waves we:eweH. !

to the Western wharf And the depression? bet ween 1
them ca led “swashes” w- re cL-aonele by which
ihe buals were canied ihei cep water on the Ca
rolina side ot the river. The wav- or bnr commenc
ng near Jackson street, exiended disgonal-y across
‘he river and passed under t l e Augue a Bridge to a :

from near Mar bury street fans prudua-U aln i nr cf

ime ihe same causes will render the city wharves

It may be said, however, that the new bridge

Nothing has, on many occasions, stood between

She has remon tra’ed, reasoned, suffered and toil

Mrs. Dickens and me Mrs D'ckens has o!ten ex
preeeed to her Ler renee of her affectioi ate care and
devotion iu the house—never more strongly than
within these last twelve months.
For some years pa.-t Mr. . Dickens has been in the
habit of repreceuuug t > me that it would be better
for her to away, and liv- apart; that her always
increasing estrangement ind a mental dio der
under which she scaibtime'i labor*—more, Lat she
felt heist ii unfit lor the life the had Lp lead as ray

At length, within these tbr*e week l , it was sug

In presence of J M. Btebbins.
It is plain enough that Woloott was the prime
r m the above nice little arrangement. Neither
Case nor Luoy ne m to have iiad any suspio on that
the bargain was not a perfectly legal one, or that
Ihe document was not absolutely binding on all ihe
parties who signed it. They have already paid
dear for, their t-btre in tl e affair. Case is now solv
ing out a teim in the S'ate Prison fur the offence.
Lucy also served with him for a time, but was par
il <ned 4-ut She ones v rote to the Times a very
I eeiing letter, dt daring that she desired to remain
in prison as loug aa Cnee remained aud to
share her f-ltunes wilh him, gtd or bad She
,seemstobrt a simple-minded woman, wlo hate*
Wolcott with all her soul, whi e siie nas been wuu
by the kindness c f Case, and luves him as she ought
tu hive a husband*ou y.
A more pitiful ca-e than as it seems to us,
has rare'y been .made the subject ot leg U investiga
tion iu Connecticut. The.c-nuLCt oi Wolcott de
served put-is!uiit nt a thousand f Id more severe
t ban til it which-'he law hasi inflated upon Case or
Lucy, who have been the victims of his cruelty and
ianeanness ; aud the law seems to have no hold
,on him .whatever. Liu y appears in ccurt at this
time asking only fi'r a divorce from the man who
has’caused her suff.ring, shutne aLd imprisonment,
and vi*h whom she Caen't and ought not to live
.as a wife another hour. She has done much wrong ;
but all must that her trius.are as whi e as snow
compared with those*of Wolcott, who, instead of
her loving husband, has been her brutal tyrant, and
who instead of protec ring and cherishing her, lias
done whatever he could to blacken her name, de
grade her character, and prostitute her person
Whatever else may be she ought to be set free
from servitude to this husband.
The result of her petition is not yet announced ;
but we think our readers will agree that a stranger
case than this rarely appears in the courts of this
” land of steady habits.” -
ArFECTiNd Incident,—Wi are indebted to Mr.
L j refurnieg from a whaling voyage, for the
foil wmg touciiing narrative:
O i the home voyage of one of our New Y >rk
au i Liverpool packets, she being crowded wdfi
emigrants, thal awful scourge thethip fever br- ke
out. Th - oarpeuter of the vessel, oue of nature b
noblemen, and having on board his little son, a lad
ot eome twelve summers, was one of the first vie

hammock, and Laving read over the burial sefvioek,
and to his fee a grindeto e, fur the pur
old ocean. Ihe poor boy, with grief at the losa of
hia natural protector, sprang overb -ard, and before
he c n'd be rescued, waa beyond the reach of hu
manoid.

Tbe Works at Cherbourg.
Chersoubg, July 25,1858—1 have seen and
walked round the famous new bes n. begun in 1835
by Louri Philippe, aud now (1858) finished by Ns
poleoo 111 ; and truly it is a great national Work,of
which Frenchmen m-..ybe jus ly
sent dry state it is tar a mere imposing epectac'e
ban it will' be when full of water; for looking
down with giddy head into the immense excavation,
funned wtth infinite pains, p.itienoe, and skill, by
biasing In the solid rook, and now as smooth and
symmetrical as a inarb'e sarcophagus, one realises
the force of the mol of M de Tocquivtlle, speaking
of the works of Cherbourg : “ l hey are the pyra
inidß of Egypt hewn downward iu the earth instead
of being raised in the air.” I must here observe,
however, that contrary to an impression whioh I,
in common, I dt übt not, with many of your readers,
had derived from exaggerated oriuted acoouoN, the
usw oasin is not a work differing e&ientitly in
eharaoter from others whi<jh were completed long
ago. It has nothing to do with the aatety of ihe
harbor, whioh was insured in ihe time of Liuis
P lilippe by the complete nos the wondrous break
water planned by Vauban. It is merely an adoi
tioual dock basin tor building, repairing aud arming
vessels of war, preebe y similar in kiud to the two
nlready existing, and called the Avaut Port and the
Bassiu a Plot. Tie tbrd dock was during its for
‘nation ku-wn as the Aniere B ussin, and is now to
be called the Ba?s ; u Nap-Jeon 111. it is larger than
iither of the other two, but not near so large a?
both of them put together. It is situated further
inland, and the water will ultimate y rearm it
through two entrances, one leading out of each of
of the other docks. But on August 7, the ga*es
leading from the Avant Port will remain closed, and
the water be let in solely from tbe Bassin a Fiot,
which itself is fed by the Avant Port
When the two f .rmer bas na w'ere inaugura‘ed,
the process of l9ttmg in tue water was very touious
several hours; but I understand that on
the prseut oocasion engineering science will fine
menus to fi 1 the basin iu a very short time. Tne
Avant Port took ten years to m ke. It was inau
gurathd by Marie Luise, when R on August
7, 1813, iu the presence of 25 OIKJ people &be
wentd wn into the basin previously to the water be
ing turned on aud hers was the last foot set in i while
it weaury. Toe second basin (BssJu a Fori was
f 4*rminaled to 1829, aud wasumug-ira ed by-Charles
X.. then Duke of Anguoleme Ou each of these
•ocas uns specimens of the current coins of the day
were deposited at the bottom of the dock, and
doubtless the precedent wili be followed at the in
auguration of the third basin The
E up e s, I take it for granted, will descend tothe
bottom ut the dock and walk about, aa l will be the
la-t to leave it. A tent is n>wiu c of erection
at the eastern en 1 of the barin tor tbe n*mperor ana
Empress and thrir suits. Oj ei hsr
buues with a considerable number of seats, bu* l aifc
told these will be occupied by ladies only. From
these tribunes a fine view ot the water comiLg iu
through the gates of the Avant Port will be ob a ui
ed At the back there will boa reversed epac*
where the cavaliers of the ladies iu ihetrihuues will
find standing -ro >m, but th-y will be able to set
nothing.— Cor. Lnd >n Daily N+tes.
Phi Duration if mans Life A New Idea.—
A woik has recently beeu published by M. Fluurens.
Ke ceietirated French phjsiologist, in whioi he as
s-rts that the natural fiugih of a man's life ia five
ioits as long as ih period of growth, aud assuming
hat the lat er is iwtn y year.*, concludes that the
destined pilgrimage of man on earth is one hundred
y*arß.
From h ; 8 own observation*, and facts derived
Iron ihe observation* of Buffm, and from n&tura l
h'Story, he believes that the proportionate length of
life in animals fio their periods of g-owih is es'ao
lishei*, an 1 Q w claims to have discovered the pe
cuhar physical change in the system of both ani
unis and m .-n which tndicat e the comp’erion c.f
jroatt “it, c n3ißtß,” says M. Fl< uieiiß,.“ u tlu

uoues are n-t united to their epiphyses, the ‘animat

“Ur domes io animals, aic I at rived at the re
stilt that the normal duration of uimu's life is
century. Yes, a c-mury's life is what Providence
meant to give u\”
M.Fluurens brings rome striking and interesting
‘actß forward to prove flu tnunof this theory asap
plied to doaustic animals, anPolaims that it has an
exen’plification io the relative dura ion of growth
and life in the camel, horse, ox, and ig, and other do

forty, b cause ir is oily at that age uha the-increa-e
of the body in bulk term nates After forty,”* he
says, “ the body does not grew, properly speaking ;
the augmentation of its volume winch then taker
p'ace is not a veritable organic devtl ipmeut, but a
simple accumula iou of fat. Af er the growth, or
more exactly speaking, the devt-lopineut in length
and bulk has terminated, man enters into what may
be termed the period ts iuvigi ration—that is, when
all his paits become more complete aud firm, aud
the whole organism more pertect. This period lasts
to sixty five or seventy years, and then begins old
age, which lads for thirty yea s. ’
Alth ugh we cannot entirely agtee with the theo
ry oi M. Fn u eus, that with corrected maimers,
passions, ana habits, the life of mau can bs pro
long* and to the lengthened peri *d be mentions, Wr yet
th nk that with the good conduct he recommends,
model a e labor, study, and a systematic coarse ol
living, it may not only be extended, but its eveuing
nay be sustained in beauty and vigor until night
has entirely set in.
A Chinlbe Garden — -Mr. Fortune gives a curi
ous detcription of a Chinese garden in a recent let
ter, from which we make the following extracts;
“The plants consist of g od specimens of southern
Chinese tbiugi, all well known in England— such for
example, as oymbiiinm einense, olea fragrans,
oranges, roses, camelia-, moguolios, ect. and of
ojurse, a multitude of dwarf trees, wilhout which
no Chinese garden would be oonridered complete.—
In the alcove alluded to there ar s me nice st me
sea£, which look cool in a c lunate like that of south
ern Cnina. The fi ior if this bui ding is-rai-ed a lew
feet above the ground level, bo that the visiters gets
a good view of the water and other o s of in

and moking place with the Chinese the following

will testify : ‘A Cartful and E irnest Notice—This

others are growing near the walks, and affrird shad*
