The Convention of Governors of varionrf States invited to assemble in Atlanta, by Governor Smith, on the kOtbef May, to disease and deliber ate upon the practicability and feasi bility of constructing the proposed Atlantio A Great Western Canal, will he an occasion of vast importance and magnitude; and we trust that it will resnlt in great good to the enterprise, and will arouse general pnblic inter est to its claims as one of the great est and grandest schemes o( internal improvement, as it really is, in the eonntry. The magnitude of the Bcheme does not consist so much in the construe tion of the proposed canal itself, as its aooomplishment will open np the means of a commercial intercom inn nication extending, in its benefits, to all Sections of the country. It is a national enterprise, equal in its pro portions and influences to almost the whole era of our common country lying East of the Mississippi river, nor can we say that its benefits will not extend io all pqrts of the country East of the Bocky Mountains. It will bring to the East, at cheap rates, the productions of the grain-growing West, and return to the West the luxuries of the South and of the trop ical regions. The building of railroads from the Atlantic to the Pacific was a great conception, and the consummation was a grand triumph of enterprise directed by American skill and ac complished by Amerioan pluck. As grand as the building of these rail roads are, opening up as they do, to settlement by sturdy pioneers large tracts of land hitherto useless as the material wealth of the country, we are not certain these stupendous strides in the march of progress are of greater importance to the country generally, than the bnilding of a great canal, affording the means of cheap transportation between large and populous States, teeming with wealth and enterprise that only need to be made richer and more prosperous by just such a work. The object of the proposed Con vention of Governors, is to have a free utteranoe of opinions in regard to the subject under consideration— to see in what manner, and under what kind of organization and co- opsration, the interests of the pro posed canal can be best subserved and promoted. The step taken by Gov eruor Smith will, doubtless, meet the approbation and the hearty response of all men who are capable of taking an interest in the general progress and prosperity of our country. It places Georgia as the foremost State in ef forts to consummate a scliome gigantic in its proportions and grand in its its result* CAPT. WILLIAMS, or THE STEAMSHIP AT LANTIC. Capt. Williams has been severely criticised and condemned m regard to the wreck of the ill-fated Atlantic. It has been charged that the steamer was sent to sea without a sufficiency of coal, and that the Captain was grossly, and even criminally, neg lectful of his duties and reckless of the lives of his passengers in nearing the coast of Nova Scotia, so danger ous to ships. A reporter of the New York Herald interviewed the Captain on the 4th, from which interview we gather the substance of the statements made by him. The ship was sufficiently coaled fer the voyage but for three days of heavy weather. He accounts for his being so much out of position solely on account of the current, which must have been a northerly as well as westerly set. He allowed what was ample, namely: eight degrees to the eastward. He was certain of his position on Monday noon because both barometers agreed, and the ob servations were taken by different instruments and observer* In reply to the Herald reporter as to how he struck the land when, ac cording to all his reckonings, he should have been at a safe distance f.om it, he replied that he had already stated that a northerly “set” proved greater than he allowed for. For two or three preceding days he had found the ship, by observations, to have been “set” to the southward and eastward of her position. By reck oning he was not astonished at this southeasterly “set,” knowing the heavy northerly and westerly galeB that had prevailed in the Atlantic during the winter; -in fact, when making the nor-hern passage home ward bound he decided to near the Virgin Bocks more than Cape Bace. £Capt. Williams claims that he per formed his whole duty during the disaster. cr The communication which appears in another column, over the signature of Mr. Samuel A. Burney, of Madison, is published by us at the earnest request of the writer, who claims that he has not been courte ously treated by our neighbor of the Herald. In making the publication, we do so with no intention of taking np either side of the controversy. Mr. B. says he has been “denied a hearing in the Herald,” and insists that he should have some opportuni ty to reply to an unjust attack, as he regarded it. The Rochester (N. Y.) Demo crat and Chronicle says the Barnes- ville (Ga) Gazette is an entertaining paper. Its last issue contains two hymns, both set to music. The ad vantage of this is, the subscriber can take his paper to church, sing the hymns on the back page and relapse into the local columns when the pas. tor preaches the heavy part of the sermon. .
