THE DAILY SUN. OSm Corarr of Rratil rmI Alabama M’a Pnbllxhrd bj thr AtluU Saa Pablishing Coaipaay. j. hi;m.y smith i Mi'.iia Miu^rr, Thuksdav Moiixinu Juki lb Aiiiiomiueiuuiit. 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. A. M.

When Sumter fell he resigned hie place in Governor Pickens' Cabinet, and was pointed a Brigadier-General of one of the first Brigades of Volunteers raised in the State, which Was composed of the flower cl South Carolina By an act of the Confederate Congress at Montgomery, he, with all other State Brigadiers, lost bis plaoe—that set pro viding that only Regiments of Volunteers with their organization should be receiv ed.

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.

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.

Whittle then engaged in conversation with other paities, and not coming forward to go to his office, and believing my answer would certainly secure I us attendance at the meeting of the Bo.ud on the 25th, when the whole business would be laid fully before him, I was satisfied. If, therefore, Col. W. did not get the notice given to the other Directors, it was because he was ubseut from the oity at the time I was giving that notice, and certainly from no desire on my part to conceal anything from him. tfhe notice he finally received did not secure his at tendance as 1 supposed.
