Ebwtn & Hardee’s Line op Ikon. Steam-
ebs —With the revival of business the owners of the
above line intend placing their steamers on their old
routes. The steamer Two Boys will ran to Augusta,
tad thft Charles S, Hardee to Hawklnavilleand inter
mediate landings on the Ocmulgee river. These
steamers are of iron, and they have been recently
thoroughly overhauled and their engines put in com
plete order by Messrs. P. J. Bntger &Oo. The steam
ers are of very light draft and can run at low stages
of the rivers; and their hulls being divided into
water-tight compartments, they ore thus secured
against many of the dangers of river navigation.
Their capacity is about eight hundred bales ol cot
ton each.
The Cotton Chop.—The news from many
portions of Middle Georgia and the Black Belt is
gloomy enough. The late rains have played sad ha
voc with the cotton. In some few sections there will
be a lairji,eld, but the planters almost universally
say the crop will fall short of last year’s yield. The
rust^tfr^orm, and the rot are at work destroying
It; -J$ .seems the rains will never stop. The last
month*of August was the most unfavorable ever
known, 1 Only a few days remain now in which the
crop will do what it is going to. 'The season always
closes between the 10th and the 16th of September.
After that it matters not what sort of weather we have.
The crop will be either made or lost. The crop in
Geo gia will fall short of about 15,000 bales. Oiu
only hope new is to make up in price what we will
lQ3e in quantity.—Macon Messenger.
THE water worki.
A few days since we took a walk to the water works
on the other side of the canal, and thinking a brief
sketch of this important enterprise would prove of
interest to our readers, we Jotted down a few items.
The workB were erected in 1853, but were not fully
in operation until about March or April, 1854, as near
as we can now recollect. Slnoe their construction
many improvements have been made by theengi.
neers in charge, by which* the pnmps 'are ran more
economically and with less wear than at first. The
engines, as stated below, are of the Worthington pat
ent, connected directly with the forcing pumps. They
are a combination of high and'low pressure, the
exhaust steam from the high pressure being used to
ran the low,'both, however, being in the same oat-
side cylinder. By this nave! arrangement the steam
is utilized; and a great saving in fuel effected.
Mr. R. D. Gnerard is the Superintendent, and
Messrs. James Holland and Wm. A. Lndiogton engi
neers, to whom we are indebted for much valuable
information concerning the works.
THE BKCKTVTKQ BKSEBVOTB.
A receiving reservoir of large capacity for the pur
pose of clarifying the water, by allowing the earthy
particles to be deposited by sedimentation, is con
structed on the west side of the canal near the river.
This reservoir is divided into four compartments, so
that while the clarified water from one compartment
is being pumped into Uxe city, the water in the other
basins is in a state of repose and becoming clear.
These compartments are one hundred and forty feet
square on .the bottom, one handled and sixty feet
sqaare on top, and eight feet deep. The slopes are
built at an angle of forty-five degrees. The basins
are faoed with brick work on the sides, and the bot
toms are paved with a coating of concrete composed
of sand, brick and cement. These basins are filled
from the river at fall tide, by means of a canal with
gateways Into each basin, and by flood gates at its en
trance into Mnsgrove creek. These gatea are of iron,
set in abutments of masonry. From eaoh one of the
casins the water is conveyed by means or brick con-
doits to the pump well, situated underneath the en
gine house, and furnished with iron gates into the
engine house.
THE FORCING PU1IP8.
Directly over the pump well are placed three of
Worthington* & Baker's direct* action pomp engines.
From these the water is forced through separate lines
of pipes—one of sixteen and another of twelve in
ches calibre—across and under-the Ogeechee canal,
up Indian street Lane, through Bay and Montgomery
streets to the distributing reservoir In Franklin
Sqaare. The engines are supplied with steam by two
tubular boilers, each of which, as well as each of the
pumps are entirely independent of the other. By
this arrangement—by this duplication of engines,
pnmps, boilers, and lines of pipe, the failure of a
supply of water to the city is rendered almost impos
sible. Before such tut event can happen, an acci
dent will have to atop the action of all the pomps,
both boilers, both engines and both lines of pipe
from the receiving to the diatri outing reservoir.
THE DIBTBXBtJ TI ON BESEBVOIB
is located in Franklin Square, and is a
circular iron tank thirty feet in diameter and twenty-
five feet high, placed upon a massive structure or brick
masonry, which strnctnre consists of an outer circu
lar wail thirty-five feet in diameter at the bottom and
thirty feet at the top. A hollow shaft of brick work
is carried up iu the centre to the foil height. Best
ing upon this inner and outer' wall are cast iron
girders, forming the floor upon which the wrought
iron tank rests. The bottom of the tank is on an
elevation of fifty feet above the grade of the city at
the Exchange. The receiving reservoir is capable of
containing six hundred tons of water, and can be
kept constantly filled whatever the demand maybe.
Tne whole height to which the water is raised by the
pumps is one hundred and twenty feet. The dis
tance from the receiving to the distributing reservoir
is a little over a half of a mile. Each of the three
pumping engines is capable of delivering into the
receiving reservoir one million of gallons of water in
twelve hours.

The Ramie Plant.—Mach attention has
of late been directed to this new fibre,,whlch will, to
a certain extent, take the place of cotton.
It is claimed that it yields a finer fibre than Sea
Island cotton, as strong ss the best flax, and brilliant
as silk. The plant requires less labor than cotton,
and its growth Is continuous. The flbro Is taken
from the stock, like hemp, and by a process patented
by Don Benito Bot-zlo, formerly of Mexico, but now
residing In New Orleans, it is cleaned from all ex
traneous Bnbstances and rendered fit for the use of
the manufacturer.
Messrs. L. J. Goilmartth & Oo. are the agents in
this city for Mr. J. Bruckner, of New Orleans, who
has roots for sale in any quantity. Several of onr
planters have already engaged quantities of the roots
and intend going into the cultivation of this new
staple on a large scale. Sample, of the growing
plant and prepared fibre may be seen at the office of
Messrs. GaiimarUn & 00.
We have been permitted to copy the following
letter, which will give full information concerning
the plant:
New Orleans, August 31,1868.
Messrs. L. J. Gv.xlma.rtin <t Co., Savannah, Ga.:.
Gentlemen: I write to intorm yon that I have now
on hand at my nursery a fine lot of Ramie setts, and
from this time forward will bo able to fill orders for
any number of roots. The present is the best time
for planting, and I am anxious to get planters to en
gage m its culture on s large seale, as I wish to buy
the fibre as soon aa produced. Should yon be able to
induce the agriculturists of your state to embark In
this enterprise, 1 am willing to make- arrangements
with von lor baying all tbe fibre that may be pro
duced. In its raw state, as I intend to starts factory
for cleaning and preparing it like the enclosed sam
ples. These were produced In th's State, and I have
every reason to believe that the Sea Islands of yonr
coast wi'l produce fibie equally as fine. If not finer.
I would respectfully request an early answer, as I
am desirous of pushing matters ahead as fast as pos-

Very respectfully, yonr obedient servant, •

The Cotton Trade of Macon.
We have spont. two days in making up a table show
ing the amount of cotton received and the amonnt
■hipped from the city of Macon from September 1,
1867 to September 1, 1868, and have got it aa near cor
rect aa it is possible to make it. We found no diffi
culty in arriving at the amounts received at onr va
rious warehouses, for their book keepers rendered
their statements without much delay; but in getting
at the precise number of bales received at private
store-rooms we had no little difficulty. Weoelieve
our table is not wrong 25 bales one way or the other.
The following is the result:
Stock on band September 1,1867—bales... 912
Received from September 1,1867 to Sep
tember 1,1868 .. 79,763
Shipped from September 1,1867 to Septem
ber 1,1868 1 79,409—354
Stock on hand September 1, 1868—bales.. 1,266
This includes the amount in our warehouses and on
storage at other points in the city. It will be remem
bered onr market opened last year at 25 cents per
ponnd. It rapidly fell until it touched 10 and 12
cents, at which rates a large amouut was.taken up by
■peculators, from thence It rose at the beginning of
1868 to 15, 18, 20, and finally went back to 25 cents.
We presume the crop sold here lias averaged 18 cents.
Estimating each bale to weigh 600 pounds, the sale of
79,763 bales, or 39.881,500 pounds, brought $7,088,579.
This, then, is the amount of revenue received by tbe
city of Hscon for her cotton crop for one year. It
was truly a magnificent harvest or money.
The average amount of cotton .received at Macon
for several years before the war, was 90 000 bales.
The deficiency amounts to a little over 10,000 on the
operations of the year just closed, and years be'ore
the war. It Is estimated that the entire crop of Geor
gia raised in 1867, was 500,009 bales, and that for the
year 1868, it will be 350,000. Tbe stretching of toe
Southwestern Railroad has opened up new territory
to the cotton trade of Macon. So tnat we have suf
fered little in this respect by the disasters of toe
war.
Tns above figures exhibiting a deficiency in receipt!
of only 10,000 bales, show we are holding our own.
We have no doobt in another year the receipts will
go over any previous year. • Our commerce is rapidly
expanding. In'another year toe Brunswick Road
will be completed, and other roads wilt have been ex
tended.
We congratulate our citizens upon this gratifying
result of this year's operations in cotton. —Journal
and Messenger.
