Citizens to tho Polls! X
•The time for argument haa pawed—the day for voting
la come l The people of Savannah will thli day chooao
their municipal officers, and U la for them alone to aay
who they will have to rulo over them. Two Uckela are
presented them—one composed entirely of men be
longing to one political parry,—the other composed of
men from all parties, men of age, of weight and or ability
to aorve the city. Tho one ticket, If elected, will admin
later the government principally for the good of tbelr
party, and Incidentally for the good of the public. Tho
other will make the substantial Interests of the city, tho
health, the security and order of the community, the
prime objects or their care and consideration. One will
represent a portion of the people—the other, the echoic.
One wlU take care of tbelr party—the other of the City
Can the reflecting cltlxen hesitate between the two T—
Can any man who haa the Interests of the city really at
heart, doubt what he should do? Look at the name* on
the two tickets, and the Influences which secured their
nomination, and then put It to your consciences how you
shall vote. All we ask, is that the friends of the Citi-
mu' Ticket will vole early, if possible, and at all events,
that they win be sure to vote some time during the day.
If they do tbelr duty, and there be no foul play, we shall

known as the " e*tended t lulu* of Savannah to vote at
the Municipal election this day, and which sbonld be
corrected, In order to prevent violations of the Registry
Law upon this point.
Tho 9d section or that law distinctly requires the resi
dence of the voter to be M within theserperets Metis” of
Savannah. By the 1st section of the act of December
87,1838, (the letut lew defining tho corporate limits or
Savannah) It waa enacted t—
“Thatfrom and Immediately after tho passing of this
act,the corporate Marita of the City of Savannah shall be
bounded as follows t on tbo South by the present South
ern boundary lino of said City, prolonged on the East by
a line parallel with Bull Street, and extending from the
Eastern aide of the mouth of tho Creek which bounds
the wharf or tbo Eastern Wharf Company on the East)
Southwardly to said prolonged lino) and on the West
by Muagrove Creek to the Augusta Road} thence along
the aald road eastwardly to the point at which said road
crosses the Bavannah, Ogechee and Altamaha Canal)
thence South In a line parallol with Bull Street to tho
said Southern llue of tbe CUy prolonged.”
By tbe second section of the samo act, tho waters of
the Savannah River, and the laud covered by them,
which lie South ef Hutchinson's Mend, and between
the described line of Eastern and Western boundary, are
Included within the “corporate limits.”
In the year 1828, tbe Legislature established the “ex
tended limits,” for the purpose or subjecting certain
matters to municipal police regulations, and at the
tame time conferred the privilege of voting upon the
Inhabitants or these “ limits.” The act of 1838, establish
ing tho u cerpereU limiu,” continued in its 4th Section
the police jurisdiction conferred by the act or 1829, and
that only. Tho present Registry Law la a district legis
lative act, upon tbe subject of tbe qualification of voters,
revises the whole matter, and repeals nil conflicting laws.
By the existing law therefore no persona have a right
to vote at the present election (even If by error tbelr
certificates may hare been granted them) unless tbelr
residence Is included within the boundaries defined in
the act of 1838. 8ucb, therefore, mutt be the decision of
the presiding magistrates this day. They can only ad
minister the law aa they find it written. Even If it were
palpably unconstitutional. It la the law of the land until
set asldo by competent authority. Thla subject, I learn,
baa been already brought before the present City Coun
cil, and a Committee appointed to examine tbe question
have decided in accordance with tbo views contained In
this communication. A VOTER.

Centenary Celebration In Liberty.
This Interesting anniversary takes place this day. One
hundred years have elapsed since the pilgrims, whose
descendants now celebrate thla event, made their first set
tlement In the ancient county of Liberty.
All proper measures have been taken to commemo
rate tbe era In a worthy and becoming manner. Mr,Mal
lard, or the Chatham Academy, will deliver a discourse
this day, and Judge Law to-morrow. A detachment of
the Chatham ArtlUery, with two guns, under the com
mand or Lieut. B. W. Symons, baa gone out to Join In
tbe celebration. They will fire a a ilute ot 100 guns this
morning and one hundred guns to-morrow morning. The
sons of Liberty from all quarters will be gathered together
there, and altogether It will be one of the most Interest
ing occasions ever witnessed In this State.

Wo noticed In our issue of Saturday, the loss of this

city, from whom we have obtained additional particu
lar!. The vessel went ashore Tuesday night, the 30th
ulL, on St. Catherine’s Island, and with her cargo, con
sisting of Iron, salt, A t, will prove a total loss. Fortu
nately, all her passengers, (33 In number) and crew were
saved. She had been out 52 days when she went ashore,
having sailed from Liverpool tbe early part of October.
The vessel was partially and tbe cargo folly Insured In
Liverpool. She was a fine barque, or 539 tons burthen,
and built In 8L Johns, N. B., where she was owned.

Savannah, December Sd, 1652.
Vessel Ashore.—We learn that tbe 8cbooncr Ha
vana, from Satills River, bound to Charleston with a
cargo of Rough Rice, went ashore on Tybee beach near
the Light House on Wednesday last Slio put Into Tybee
on account of bead winds, and in getting under way to
go. o again, went ashore. At last accounts she was
perfectly tight, and would no doubt be got off with but
little damage.
TbeHon. W. L. Marct and son arrived here yester
day In the Steamer Oregon from Augusta. We learn ho
la traveling on account of tbe health of bis son. He
will go from here to Florida and thence to Havana.
The Kuhkeli* will perform tbia evening for the bene
fit of tbe Ogletbrope Fire Company, on which occa
sion they will expect every fireman In tbe city and all
tbelr friends to bo at their post.
Barqub Texas.—We aro glad lo learn that there las
probability of getting this vessel off tbe South Breakers,
where she went ashore some time since. It Is believed
thatshowlllbegotoffinall this week. 8ome700 bales,
out.of about 1100 on board, bare been saved—most of It
in a damaged state.
Labor Cotton Transactions.—Tlie sales of cotton
in New Orleans, for the week ending the 27th ulL,
amounted to 80,000 bales.
Arrival or thr State or Gaoaou.—A dispatch to
tbe Agents here states that the Steamship State of Geor
gia arrived at Philadelphia yesterday morning at 5
o’clock. Tbe dispatch stys she encountered a severe
northeast gale the entire passage.
Fiaa in BARNaavtLLE.—On the 27th ult, tho afore
occupied by C. A. fcJ. F. Nutting, in Burnesvllle, on the
Macon fe Western Road, and the hotel or Daniel High
tower, with the goods slid furniture In them, were con
sumed by fire. Tbe lou la estimated at 818,000. The
bouses were owned by Mr. Hightower, and Insured only
fr>r $3,000. The goods were Insured for 89,000. Tbe
risk of the almost entire destruction of tbe village and
Railroad building* was very great, and only prevented
by the most active exertions.
FkatoHT on Savannah River.—Tbe Augusta Chron
icle aays, that from and after tbe 3rd tost, the rale of
freight from Augusta to Savannah will be seventy-five
cents per bale, on cotton.
New Steamer for Savannah River.—We learn
from a letter to a gentleman in this city from Augusta,
that the steamer Faahion now building In that place for
the 8avnnnah River trade, will be launched about the
10th of January. She will commence running about the
1st or February. She is not designed to be a foncy boat,
as her name would indicate. On tbe contrary, every re
gard has been bad to her capacity for business and
strength.
Tbe Fathion will bo 170 feet on the keel, 20 feet beam,
4)4 feet in the hole, and 160 feet over all. Her measure
ment will be 21 \% tons, which will onablo her to carry
about 2000 bales cotton. When light, she will draw be
tween Hand 111 inches, with five cords of wood. She
will have only 8 state rooms, which it is believed will
answer on all ordinary occasions. With 1000 bales, she
will not draw more than 38 Inches water. Distance be
tween decks 16 feet. This will save tbe necessity of
storing tn tbe hole, and render the loading and discharg
ing easy work.
The owners of the Fathion are Mr. John A. Moore
and Copt. S. N. Philpot, of Augusta. Her builder la
Mr. M. McConnell, of Pittsburg, who built tbe Han
cock, now running on this river, and the Georgia, run
ning on the Coosa, Her engines were built at Pittsburg.
The Fathion will run regularly between Augusta and
this place. Mr. Mosas A. Cohen will be her agent here.
We hope to see her at our wharves soon.

Case or the Wh. GaITon.—We mentioned a few
days since that tbe owners of the steamer Florida, run-
ntog between Charleston and •PnlMa, &c, bad libelled
tbe steamer Wm. Gaston on account or damage received
-in a‘collision between tbe two boats on the 8L Johns
river. Tbecaae haa been undergoing an Investigation in
Falatka, FBl, Judge Bronson of the U. & District Court,
presiding. When the Wm. Gaston left Palalka on Tues
day, the caen waa progressing, and la probably decided
by tbladme.
8alb or Valuable PaoraaTT.—It will be seen that
thoelegant cottage built mansion of the late Benjamin
Snider, at Marietta, is for sale. Application for It should
be made to Jamas 1. Snider or tbia city.
Tbe buildings offered for sale with tbo clrcutqjaoent
grounds present tar more attractions than any other
premise* In Marietta. Considering location and aU
other things, we do not believe that so beautiful and do*
slrabto a residence will bo offered for aalo In this Suto for
yean to come. We know the premises well, and can
recommend tbsm In tbe strongest manner to any one
dsslrons of a country residence.

NEW-YORK, Net. CO,
“Who M the dovsromsot ot this Country, In lu Irons-
action* with Foreign powers?” la Just now a question of
considerable Interest, and Is cresting no little discussion
In the Journals In this part or the country. Some peoplo
eay It Is Millard Fillmore, but those are pntdownao
“old fogies,” and mon a long while behind tbo age, by
others who swear by George Uw and Marshall O. Rob
erts, the ownsra of that tamous steamer OmchI Cfry.—
Tbe Law pari) recognize the right of a Steamship Com
pany lo make war upon n Foreign power, should that
Foreign power take It upon Itself to execute certain po
lice regulations H has established as a means of domestlo
safety. The Law party, moreover, are men who bcllero
in no law at all, except the taw of “manifest destiny,”
and you know, aa well as 1 do, what that meant. With
these people, therefore, it Is no wouder that President
Fillmore’s recent letter relative to Purser Smith It thor
oughly execrated nml donohneod. Every body expected
they would denounce It. Indeed, had they spokeu a word
In lu fevor, tbo rest of the community would have good
reason to suspect tbe honor and honesty of the Executive.
Aa it la, let me add, that portion of the community that
•Ull adheres to the belief that there U a Government at
Washington, abundantly able and wlUIng to,look alter
the honor of our flag, aud the commercial Interests of tbe
nation, award aU praise lo the President for the noble
stand he baa taken In regard to the spirit of Fllllbutcr-
stn, which haa found ita fit organs here. In aucb craxy
abolition Journals aa the Daily Times and the penny
“Smr.” Law can send hla steamer* to Havana In tho
teeth or the authoriUoa there, as often as he pleases, and
with as many “Lone Blare” and old Government mus
kets on board—but the Administration having wisely dis
robed his steamers of their official character by taking
•way from them the United States Malls and U. 8. offi
cers, there Is but little danger that he will succeed In
dragging the oountry Into a war. Steady bands are at tbe
helm at Washington—hands that have steered the Ship
of State through a worse storm than this, aud knowing
this, therefore, there Is but HUle apprehension on the
part of most people here, that tbe result of the Cherokee's
present voyage, will be productive of oousequencea det
rimental to the amicable relations at present happily
subsisting between Spain and tbe United States.

New Route from New-York to Now-Orleans.
At a meeting of the Georgia Historical Society, held at
Savannah on tbe 10th, a paper waa read by W. B. Hodg
son, Esq, on tbe subject of tbe proposed railroad from
8avannah to Pensacola. It to urged aa another national
and highly advantageous portion of the line of commu
nication between tbe Atlantic and Pacific Slates, by the
way of Tehuantepec. It to estimated that the time from
New-York to San Francisco can be reduced by these
routes to about fourteen days, and the distance to about
4,300 miles—a gain ot two and a halfdays in time and
300 miles over the sea rente around the Capes of Florida.
The time from New-York to New-Orleana will, by the
same computation, be reduced to about three days and a
quarter. The estimate for the time between New-York
and Pensacola, via Havana, sixty-seven hours, to not un
reasonable; but the estimate of only twelve hours from
Pensacola to New-Orlcans to too small. The swiftest
boats from Mobile take sixteen or seventeen. Still there
to uo doubt thst travel would be grertly facilitated, and
that four days would be a folr If not a large estimate of
the time occupied between the two cities.
A part of this road Is surveyed, and wo believe a con
siderable portion of the stock subscribed for in ltd to
build ik it to an extremely favorable country and a ge
nial climate. It to not at all unlikely that Georgia enter
prise will carry it through.
It will be observed that thti route lndentillea Itself with
the Tehuantepec road. It looks to that work as a neces
sary part of ita line of travel to 8an Francisco. This
tact shows bow widely the interest in thst work to spread
in thla country, and how much it to relied upon as a na
tional matter, which cannot be neglected or abandoned

Freshet In the Chatahoochee—Doss of
Cotton.
Tbe Columbus Enquirer of Tuesday, contains the fol
lowing additional tacts In .regard to the freshet In the
Chataboocbee river:
“We hear of great quantities of Cotton carried off
from plantation* on the river below, ami in some in-
stances the Gin houses with considerable amounts of
Cotton, both In bale and In the seed. One of the steamers
plying on the river, some days since while on her down-
ward passage laden with Colton, struck a snag, jost above
Snake Sbous and sunk, but by tbo untlring exertions of
the master and crew, a largo portion of her cargo waa
nut on shore. It to feared that the sudden rise to
!"“ r,T " greater part If not the whole of
f‘ton thus landed. An agent of the Insurance Compa
nies was despatched to look after ao much of tbe cargo
as was saved, but the rapid rising or the wateraTnid
the position of all the crafts upon the river at the lime
rendered It Impossible to reach tbe point. At this sea-
-m of the year, many of the planters on the river have
uulderable portion* of their Colton Crop upon the
btnks ready for shipment, and no doubt much teas haa
been sustained by them from their Inability to remove It
Dord Palmerston on tho Cuban Diffi
culty.
A brief but very significant speech haa been made by
Lord Palhesston to tbe British Parllameuk It relates
directly to Cuba and the slave trade, and has an evident
bearing upon the position or Spain to the United States,
and the supposed designs of tbe present government of
Britain to reference thereto. We quoto the principal
passages:
the part of the Spanish government witka vino UpuUbZ
an end to the slave trade in Cuba. I am afraid that that
omission to but too significant, considering that we have
seen lately In the newspapers acconnts of the landing of
several cargoes or slaves on the coast of Cuba, ft to
without excuse on the part of the government of Spain
that such an Infraction of the treaties should continue.
I am afraid there are influence* at Madrid, and that there
are pecuniary Interests to Cuba—[hear, hear}—that tend
to induce the government of 8pa!n to forget Its treaty
obligations, and omit to perform It* dutlee with regard
this Important matter, exposing itself^s it has already
me. to the Imputation—whether well or ill founded It
is noi for roe to uy-that it io apart, to this policy with
a view to the rcUntjon of Cuba-to encourage the increase
of the Hack population, believing that in preportion as
b/<u i t .{! u . r Z ug « * f . tart of 1X4 * kiUt M I increase
oleo, and that thus the Increase of tbe slave population
may tend to make the white population cling more close
ly to the mother country. I hope no such motive ani
mates the government of Spain.”

Uncle Tom’s Cabin in Fkakce.—Uncle Tom’s Cabin
haa appeared to the feullleton of threo different Paris pa
pers—the Preset, the Siesie and the Pays. There seems
to have been much more eagerness, however, among tho
translators to translate It, than among the public to read
IL It Is not destined to a very great success to France, it
to said. The only review of tbo book that has yet ap
peared in Paris to that to the Debate, by John Lemolnne.
The Paris correspondent of the Washington Republic
gives an extract from it as follows:
“This book to profoundly Impregnated, and, so to say,
saturated with tbe spirit ortho Bible; and it to this which
explains its prodigious success to America and England.
And yet, considered as a work of art, and apiece or com
position, it to extremely defective, and argues great Inex
perience. But at the same time it la so essentially moving
and pathetic that It goes straight to tho heart; it la a
blow of the hammer struck upon tbo head of the nalL
On the 15th Inst, Uncle Tom’s Cabin appeared to Par
Is, to book form, at forty cents a copy. The translator to
M. La Bedollne, who Is an experienced hand at tbo busi
ness. having rendered Into French the whole of Cooper,
and many of the works of Dickens and Marry&tt The
reviewer admits that the success or the work cannot be
as great to France as In England, and may not be per
petuated there aa a classic. It to stated that M. Dennory,
one of tho best playwrights, is adapting It for the French
stage, and that It will bo produced to about two months.
The Sitele gives the authercss’s name as Madame
Stove, while the Pays declare* her to be Madame Henri
etta Stoss. It may be said of her as of tbe deceased pa
triot: “ Died for glory, and bad his name spelt wrong to
the gazette.”
Neuotiation on the Fishzbibs.—In the English
House of Commons, November 12tb, Mr. McGregor ad
verted to the passage to the Royal speech referring to
the American Colonies (toblng question. During the ad
ministration of the noble lord, the member for Tiverton,
the Intimate and pseifle relations between this country
and America were maintained, and the Earl of Aber
deen roost wisely made those concessions with regard to
the fisheries that kept up the harmony previously tub-
sluing. He trusted that in tbe negotiations now pending,
tbe whole question would bo settled upon tbe principle
of froo and uninterrupted Intercourse—that the people uf
the United States would have the freedom or fishing to
the North American seas, and that tbe colonists would
be permitled equally the free Intercourse to tbe waters of
the United States, Tbe Chancellor or tbe Exchequer re
plied that the Government of the United States had
agreed to enter Into negotiations with her Majesty’s
Government, to most friendly spirit, that might lead to
Increased commercial relations between tbe two coun
tries. Tbe spirit to which tbe communications between
the two Governments were carried on waa of the moil
friendly character, and be thought tbe result would prove
very satisfactory (hear, hear I) but under existing circum
stances the House should not expect that tbe Government
would lay any papera on the table.
Mrs. Casoline Lee Hentz,e resident at Columbus,
Gil, has won the prize of $300, offered by Osslan Dodge,
Esq., editor of tbe Boston Literary Museum, for the best
American story. It to entitled “ Neglecting a Fee, or tho
Young Physician’* Fortune,” and to said to be a most
exquisite romance.
SacaETAKT or THE Navy<-CoUutien of Seeds, ire.-
We learn from the American Farmer, that the presort
Secretary of the Navy, the Hon. John P. Kennedy, soon
after coming into ofilce, renewed the order tn our naval
officers, commanding our foreign stations, to be vigilant
to the collection of such seeds, root* and plant* aa were
calculated to be Introduced advantageously Into the ag
riculture of the country.
Rowdyism in Baltimore.—Great alarm exists In Bal-
ttmore, on account of the outrages committed b* rowdies.
So Insecure are the street* at night, that ereuing services
have been abandoned In some churches. On Sunday
evening, a gentleman named McCormick, while walking
In Liberty street with some ladles, was attacked by a
gang of rovrdle*. He drew a revolver and shol one, who
fell with a loud cry, when hls companions retreated,
bearing him off. Every alarm of fire breed* a brawl, to
which pistols, muskets, and brick bato,are liberally used.
Gentlemen ore stopped on the street, to the twilight,and
asked for liquor or “a loan” In such a way as to make
obedience to the request rather more compulsory than
sociable. Certain quarters of the town are avoided by
discreet pedestrians after dark, os If they were Infested
with a pestilence.
Jew* in Jerusalem.—In 1851, there wore 10.000 Jews
to Jerusalem. Tills number has lately greatly Increased’
and they are supported by Jews to other parts of the
world, particularly those 1n America and Holland.
These Jews reside chiefly on tbe rugged elope of Mount
Zion, over against the temple. Many of them ora sup.
ported by annuities, which they receive from tbelr friends
In Europe, to whom they have nude over their property,
with this stipulation. This money to remitted to a rich
Jewish merchant at Amsterdam, who to called tbe Presi
dent of tbs Holy Land, and the average amount which
ho receives maybe uear .03,000. Those Jaws still an
ticipate the speedy coining of tbe Messiah.
• Jmonb tm$ Lawtbrs.—A curious “strike”
has token plsoe la Cleveland. Tba lawyers of that ally
have banded logstbsr and Increased their At blU several
per cent. The people have Ihersfore determined todls
continue going to law, and lu tho end the lawyers may
HuU It a Very /se-Wi strike.
Mr. Phlpa had, before the appointment or the trustees
by Walker, takeu and delivered wheat at Walker's mill,
aud received checks or receipts for the number of bush
els thus deposited. The wheat was thrown Into the gen
eral granary with other wheal then In the mill, and
—ound up by Walker. It had not been priced, nor waa
ere any special contract for Ita aalo to Walkor, but it
waa a mere deltrory of the wheat at the mill, which was
disposed of as above stated.
The court decided that Phips could not claim an
amount or wheat equal to what be carried to, and depos
ited at the mill, but tbnt he must take hls dividend for
the value of this wheat, with tho other creditors of
Walker, and that to enable the person delivering and
depositing wheal at a mill to recover tho amount thus
delivered. Should thq miller prove Insolvent, ho must
require the miller to deposit hls wheat to a granary or
pile, separata from all the oilier wheat to the mill.
The New French Okra Troupe for New Orleans
haa arrived there from Havre. In addition to Madame
Wldemana, Madame Floury Joly, and other old mem-
ben, the company haa added to It M. Bordas, first tonor;
Detavarde, first tenor; Juett, first tenor, comio opera;
Ludovtc, leadlug vaudeville actor Prtvost chef if orches

Thr Grandson or Bvron.—The eldest son of Lon)
and Lady Lovelace, who was lately advertised In the
London Times, as a fugitive, bos been recovered by the
police. He had gone to Liverpool, with the Intention of
shipping as a cabin-boy, to avoid being put on board a
man-of-war. This youth, who to described os woll-look-
Ing, to the grandson or Lord Byron, the eldest sou of
“ Ada, solo daughter of hls house and heart.” But Lord
Lovelace, to a letter, denies the stories In tbe papers.
The Kaffir War.—Tbe Cape Town Moll, of October
Blh ssys:—
“The Kaffir war appears to be gradnally drawing to a
close. By n series of vigorous operations General Cath-
cart has at lastetfeelunlly cleared the Watcrkloof, and a
body of troops are left to possession or that noted strong
hold, which had so long afforded shelter to Macoroo, and
the hordes of the enemy who were most Immediately
dangerous to the frontier districts, This important work
was accomplished between the 14th and 18th or Septem*
bor, by a force or 3,000 troops, having with them four
guns, and led by his exeeltenoy to person.”
The Bride or Napoleon.—The Baden correspondent
of the Cologne Gazette, writes from Cailsruhe on the
11th ulL: “Tho betrothment of Louis Napoleon with
the Princess Carols of Vasa may now be regarded as a
certainly: It has, however, aa I learn, from most trust
worthy sources, only boon brought about alter the con
quest of great difficulties. Not only were high political
advisers against tbo match, but many warning voices
were raised among the family connexions of the lady,
to remind her of the unhappy lot of another Princess of
Baden. But the policy of the Grand Duchess 8tephau!e,
grandmother of the young Princess and tho firmness or
tbejbrldo hare triumphed over every obstacle.”
Tn* Mercdants or Nbw-Orleans are talking oree-
tabtlshlng “high change,” where business men could
congregate at a certain hour to Interchange opinions on
tbe various topics connected with the commerce of tbe
city.
Colors and Fashion.—Violet to a hue now become
very fashionable. It to the color of Napoleon, and there
fore popular to France: whlloin England Itwtll be worn
to token of mourning for the Duko of Wellington. Bon
nets made of kid leather, which to termed dipthera, are
becoming somewhat known. The fronts only are made
ofleatiier; the crowns are of silk or velvet. Jet orna
ments of every description are to high favor. A new
head-dress, called the coiffure Isabella, has appeared. It
Is of lace, to the mantilla shapa, covering the back of the
head, with long-pointed ends descending to tbe knees, so
that the whole figure seems enveloped to lace.
Gold bt thb Ton, Without Owners!—The cor.
respondent of the London Times, writing from Mel
bourne, Australia, says: “ One clrcumstanca Is not, per-
haps, altogether undeserving ot notice. There Is now
at Melbourne a very large quantity of gold, which was
sent from the diggings by escort, and which has never
been claimed. The amount to staled at [eight tons, and
these eight tons of gold are watched and warded by a
corporal and five men.”

(Concluded.)
The Committee on waterworks, to whom was referred
the citizens’ petition relative to the erecting the dls
tributlng reservoir of the water works to Franklin-
square, beg leave to offer the following letter as their
report:
Orrtca Savannah Watzr Wonxs,)
Savannah, Moo. 30, 1853. (
James P. Bcrzven, Esq., Chairman of Committee on
Water Works:
Sir:—In reply to your verbal communication relatlvo
to a chango of tbe alto for the distributing reservoir,
from that mentioned to the contract, to a point on Bay-
street, between Jefferson and Uornard-atreoU, I have to
say, 1st, Such a change would render necessary an en
tirely new arrangement of tho main pipes ofdlslrlbu-
tlou, in as much as the provision now made for supply,
lng either the‘reSerroJr or tho city direct, through Bay
and Montgomery-streota, by tbe 16 Inch forcing main, or
through West Broad and CongresMtreela, by moans of
tbe.12 Inch forelog main (thus guarding against any cut
off of the supply to the town from breaks in the mains)
will not applv to tbe proposed new site.
2d. Should the location on Bay-etreet be adopted, the
forcing main will have a more tortuous course In and
out of tbe reservoir, which will add materially to the
labor to be performed by the pumps, on account of Urn
increased friction due to such abrupt changes to di
rection.
3d. Tho expense of tbe work will be enhanced, 1st, By
the additional length of 10 and 12 Inch mains. 2d;By
the new pattern* and castings that will bo required for
the ebauges to direction, and 3d, By the lou on the pat
terns ami castings already prepared for tho bends, branch-
«*V*Ci aecordtag to the plan described to the contract.
What Ibis Increased cost would be, I am not prepared
to state definitely. It probably will not vary far from
:u relation to tbe increased labor which this alteration
will throw upon tho pumps, I beg Jeare to slate that it
will be necessary for me to consult with my associate, the
designer and builder or the pumping apparatus, before
taking any action In tho matter. Allow me to state, that
1 regret the delay In my operations caused by tbe contld
eratlon of tbo now question—tho reasons for which must
be obvious toyou.
Tho accompanying sketch shows the two locations pro
posed for the distributing reservoir, together with that
portion of the plplug affected by tbe proposed change.
Respectfully your obedient servant,
JAMES O. MORSE.
