On the 17th day ol May list, Mi. J.
Henly Smith, of thin city, a g<
veil-known as a thorough newspaperman,
purchased an interest, and was plaawd in
charge of the entire management of Tm
Sun. At that time it was resolved to
ke it a first-class paper in every re.
end since then neither labor aor
perience base been (pared to make it
attractive and worthy of public favor.
What lias already bees dona it only n
small beginning—a mere earneat of what
shall lie done hereafter. Mr. Smith's
excellent management thus far shows
that his reputation as a journalist is veil
deserved. This entire control waa trans
ferred to him with full confidence in hia
industry and ability to make Thb Sun
such s paper as the people desire. Thus
far he lias had, and hereafter shall have,
my undivided support in its general
business affairs.
And I aw most happy further non to
announce that Hon. Alexander H. Ste
phens baa purchased an interact in Tnk
Sun, and from this day he is one of ita
proprietor* and editors.
The political department of the
will hereafter l>e under the advinement,
direction and general control of Mr.
Stephens. Hia well-known pout course
in public affairs, marked at all times by
prudence, firm ness and moderation in
his devotion to the principles of Consti
tutional Liberty, is a sufficient guaranty
as to the tone and temper with which
this department of the paper will be con
ducted.
A leading feature in it will be the in
eulcation of the doctrine that the essential
principles of public liberty should never
be forgotten, and that no lessons in
tended to open np the way to Centralism
and Empire in this country should ever
be learned.
I take pleasure in saying further, that
Thi SrN is amply supplied with money
to carry out the programme agreed upon,
to make it a loading and influential news
paper. The cash, representing s large
capital Htock, is all paid up and now in
hank.
The splendid basin upon which the
paper now fctumta, and its future pros
pects, are matters of just pride to me.

defenses fell to hia department. When
Sumter fell he resigned hie place in
Governor Pickens' Cabinet, and was

the first Brigades of Volunteers raised in
the State, which Was composed of the

By an act of the Confederate Congress

while! only knew in an irregular way
that there was to bo a matting nil tlie 26tk

I know (Jol. Whittle too well to enter

tentional misrepresentation, and I am
Mire I esteem him too highly to allow
him <»r the public to rest under the im-
preseion that I would treat him with dia-
courtesy, either personally or as a Direc
tor of tin* company.
1 The facte touching notice tothe Direc
tor are as follows:
J was engaged mjaolf in giving notioe
to the Directors of the proposed meeting
of the Board to take place on the 2oth of
May, aoepmpanied with full explanations
of the reasons for the action contempla
ted ut the moot jug. Each Director, an
the expluuidhpM were glv^n, approved
•ordially of the me tiug, and of the pro
posed action of the meeting. Two of the
Directors (I think Judge Holt and Mr.
♦Solomon) offered themselves to notify
Ctd. Whittle. I said no. I preferred to
sec Col. W. mvai If, and in person explain
to him fully the n-usoim for tie- meeting.
There was no dj*sire on my part tluitCol.
Whittle should not be informed, but I
desired to give pi j if% be notice and the
information myself a* T did the other Di
rectors. Accordingly, <»u that very day
when I was notifying the others, I was
going 4>,GqL WIjit tie’s oflioe to notify
him ana was informed he was
absent from the city, iierhups at Rome.
Before bis return T was compelled
to leave the city. Several days
before the 26th—nearly a week I
think—learning that Col. W. was in the
oily and propmed leaving again with an
exenrrion party, I determined to see him I Lauren*.,
and urge him to attend a meeting of the
Board. I was proceeding to his office
with Col. W. 1>. Johnston for this pur
pose, when we saw ('el. Whittle approach

“(’anal and Factories.”
An editorial article, under the above
head, appeared in tho Constitution of yes.
terday, and from it wc make the follow
ing extract:
But we m*ed cotton factories, and for
these we require a canal sufficient to af
ford water power. To meet this want,
we learn that a company in this city pro
pose to construct a canal with aoque-
ducts, etc., to bring ten solid feet of
water from the Chattahoochee, near Bu
ford's, a distance of 37f miles, to the
summit of Peachtree street, near the old
breastworks, ard thence along the top of
the ridge through the city, the water
being returned to the Chattahoochee in
one stream and carried to South river hw
another, thus affording water power suf
ficient for all prospective domiads.—
Streams may also, if necessary, be made
on either side along the route, at a natu
ral depression, and facilities afforded in
that way. Aud water for Are purposes
might be supplied from this source. Th9
estimated cost of the canal complete is
thirteen aud three-quarter million dollars.
The idea in the above is oertainly libe
ral and somewhat progressive, but it hap
pens in this case that it would be a bet
ter economy to remove tho mountain to
Mahomet rather than bring Mahomet to
the mountain, as by the Constitution*
showing the canal would cost #18,760,-
000, and as the assessment of city prop
erty for 1871 shows the aggregate value
to be #12,000,000, it can readily be
that #1,150,000 can l>e made clear by re
moving the city out to the Chattahoo-
chee. As the amouut of money thus
saved would pay off the city debt, it
would certainly pay to remove the city
to the water, rather than make an effort
to bring the water to the oity. It is
barely possible that the writer in the
Contiitution did not examine the question
in all its bearings, or, if he did, he
meant to l>e very facetious at the expense
of the project* irs of the canal
A Vsice from the True Dense-
racy of Pennsylwanla.
The “Corresponding Committee" of
the Democracy of the oonnty of West
Chester, in Pennsylvania, have held a
meeting siuoe the Harrisburg conven
tion put forth its “departure” platform,
at which they passed some sterling reso
lutions, Among others the following:

of the platform adopted at Harrisbuig

has won the esteem of all our people.
His connection with the JnteUiyeucnr
was simply as its political editor, after
the death of Major Bteelo, and had no
oonheotion with the business or financial
department of that journal while it ex
isted. No one who read his editorials
can charge him with being the mouth
piece of Bullock, or otherwise than a
sound Democrat That writer in the
World has done gross injustice to Oen.

If, therefore, Col. W. did not get the
notice given to the other Directors, it
was because he was ubseut from the oity

certainly from no desire on my part to
conceal anything from him. tfhe notice
