Tlic opening of tlic Coosa ami its trib
utaries, and connecting these with the
water-line system of the upper Tennessee
river, presents to the mind's eye one of
the most gigantic schemes of internal im
provements, at little cost, that has yet
b6en.proposed anywhere in the South.
Witli a” system of canalization, to be
opened with a small outlay of money,
beginning at Mobile and ending at Knox
ville, Tennessee, sweeping through a
country rich in agricultural and mineral
wealth, it would iufuse a degree of pros
perity to lower East Tennessee, Cherokee
Georgia, striking through the heart of
Alabama, that cannot be estimated in
dollars and cents. This line traversing
thirteen hundred miles of countiy now
comparatively locked tip from the com
merce of the world, presents a problem so
easy of solution in favor of the iutcrests
of the country, that it is strange the
work has not been accomplished before.
Not only is it to the interest of the sec-
information, and this cannot be so readi
ly and intelligently accomplished as by a
convention of delegates from all the
points interested. Such a convention is
proposed to he held in Rome at our fair
in October. Will the people interested
send their delegates to that convention ?

CITIZEN*.
Several leading colored men, having
in view the advancement of their race
in education and progress, called a
mooting at the City Hall last Tuesday
evening, having first solicited and ob
tained permission from the authoiities
of the city for the purpose. We regret
not having known of this meeting, or
we should have taken pleasure in being
present and reporti ng in c.dcmo the pro
ceedings. From gentlemen who were
there, we are told that the proceedings
were conducted in a most orderly and
harmonious manner. Excellent ad
dresses were made by Upshaw, colored,
and also by a negro preacher of one of
the colored churches in this city. The
proceedings were opened by an excelleut
prayer by a white man who teaches the
colored school in Rome.
The general scope of the addresses
was to urge upon the colored raco tho
vital necessity for them to practice the
tious through which this water-line would [ cardinal principles of honesty', virtue
pass, but it becomes a question of nation
al importance. It is an unoccupied link
in the chain of a great system of inter
state water communication and cheap
transportation that only needs a reasona
ble appropriation from Congress to utilize
it in behalf of the public prosperity.
We publish in The Courier to day a
very important letter written by Gen.
Eugene LeHardy a little over three
years ago. As is well known, Gon. Le
Hardy wag one of the most distinguished
engineers of his day, and enjoyed n prac
tical experience surpassed by few, either
in America or Eurone. In both coun
tries his reputation is distinguished by
his having been engaged iu some of the
most iipporjiot surveys. Therefore, his
views on aU’subjccG touching civil engi
neering amount to high authority made
eminent by a most successful career. To
tins letter, written not for publication,
and which 1m? never before been publish
ed, wo call the especial attention of tho
public-spirited citizens along the whole
line touched by the rivers formiug the
system of water-line proposed, from Mo
bile to Knoxville.
The work necessary to accomplish this
great project is comparatively small
view of the great rosltltsto flow from it.
Beginning at Mobilo, th6 A'ftbama river
is navigable to Wotumpk.i. At that
point begin the obstructions covering, at
intervals, a distance of less than seventy-
five miles to Gadsden. To remove these
is the most expensive part of the under
taking. This work, we are astured by
competent authority, is entirely practica
ble at comparatively small cost. Leaving

i at comparatively small cost. .Leaving
Gadsden the Coosa is navigable to Romo,
whore it is formed by the junction of the
Etowah and Oostnnaula. Th ; s latter
river is already navigable from Rome to
Carter’s landing, one hundred and five
miles distant, The Government is now
at work in cleaning out tho Oostanaula,
Gen. James Tilton, a civil engineer of
long experience, being in charge. In
Gordon, county the Conna«iuga rivor
forms a junction with the Onshnauln,
coming from the direction of Tennessee,
forming a water line between Murray
and Whitfield counties. Thii river
comes within seven or eight miles of
touelrng the Hiwassee river which flows
into the Upper Tennessee. The strip of
land between the Hiwn see and the Con-
nasauga is so low and flat that, during
very high waters in the foimer tho gap is
overflown and the waters of that river
find their way to the Connasauga in suf
ficient volume to float flat boats from one
end K> tho other—thus connecting the
waters of the Tennessee with those of the
Coosa.
To form .this connection it would only
require a canal to bo cut between tho Hi
wassee and Connasauga, costing compar
atively little expenditure. With the
Conuasauga relieved of obstructions
which are slight, as we understand, and
the Coosa obstructions between Gadsden
and Wetumpkn removed, it would give
to the commerce of tho country thirteen
hundred miles of cheap transportation-
carrying the productions of an agricul
tural and mineral area of territory that
cannot be excelled ;u richness and pro
ductiveness by a simTar extent of coun
try upon the globe.
Such a line of cheap transportation
would transport the produce of Tennessee
to Mobile at small cost, move the pro
ducts of the iron mines of Alabama and
of Georgia iu all direction at cheap
rates. For irstauce pig iron could be
shipped by water from the furnaces of
Georgia or Alabama to Pittsburg or
New Orleans, perhaps not in bulk, but
at any rate by riot more than oue or two
transfers from the smaller boats or barges
to larger ones upon entering the waters of
the Mississippi. This kind of freight,
however, would probably find more ex
peditious transportation to Cincinnati and
Pittsburg xin Mobile and New Orleans.
A But how are we to secure the openiug
f of this great water-line? We must ap
peal to Congress through our representa
tives. We must get together statistical
and industry, and so crento so high a
character that all races should respect
them. To do this, education was essen
tial, and the immediate object was to
induce tho colored people of Romo to
make every effort to create and support
good schools for tkoir children ; and as
the colored orator well said, the only
power of legislation on civil rights was
equality before the law, and not social
equality. The latter could only be
possible upon the basis of equal virtue,
intelligence and high character with the
rnoro favored races. Tho speaker most
properly deprecated any hostility be
tween the white and black races—only
claiming for the black race the natural
capacity for progress and improvement,
to be obtained solely by their own exer
tions, aided, he thought and believed,
by the kindly assistance of the more
rich, influential and cultured whites
At the close of the regular addresses,
the worthy Mayor of our city was loudly
called out, who expressed himself most
happily i.i full sympathy with the
laudable efforts being made for tho ed
ucation and improvement of this class
of our citizens. Major Hargrove, the
postmaster, was then called out, who
made an excellent address in the same
direction, and promised his aid in all
ways towards getting up the schools.
Gan. Tiltor., the Government Engineer,
being present, was also called out. He
made a few remarks in response, pre
mising that lie was a stranger in Rome,
but had a deep interest as an American
citizen in the future of all classes of his
countiymen ; that ho had been happy
to notice the good taste and excellent
sense displayed by the orators of their
race, which race he and he believed
every other American gentleman had
the kindliest feelings for, and he wished
them God speed in the effoi Is to increase
their information by education,and from
the resulting intelligence alone could
flow that elevation in the scale of society
which they desired, and destroy any
dangerous antagonism of race in the
ordinal y pursuits of life.
The meeting was enlivened by excel
lent music from the colored band. A
subscription was taken up to defray
the expenses of the hall, gas, etc., and
after the appointment of a committee
of seven to devise plans to be submitted
to an adjourned meeting to be held two
weeks hence at the African Methodist
church, adjourned in good order, and
all present, of both colors, departed well
pleased with the exercises. We will
see to it that we are present at the next
meeting, and will report it in full.

Atlanta;' Ga., July 5th.
To thr Editor of The Cnurifr :
Tho Gate City is, at thief Writing,
wild with excitement, trains on every
road are coming in hourly, loaded
down with excursionists, some coining
in to witness the celebration of the
“glorious fourth,” and others taking
advantage of reduced railroad fare to
visit tho city. On Saturday and Sun
day nights the State road brought in
heavy crowds, and the others likewise.
But the best well represented road is
the A. it W. P, It. R. A largo train of
cars arrived on this road yestesday
afternoon, bringing passengers from
points beyond West Point. This morn
ing two long trains also came in, one
bearing a heavy load of Africa’s sons
and blacking boxes, and the other bur
dened with the respectable and el it* of
Western Georgia. .
The main streets were indeed crowd
ed, seemingly one ina°s of human flesh ;
some looking as if lost; some looking
for friends and acquaintances; some
viewing the city, and the more greener
of the crowds, staring in at shop
windows. Everything went pell moll,
and the merchants and peanut stand
proprietors doing a thriving business.
“the day we celebrate.”
At an early hour this morning, crowd
after crowd began to assemble at the
car-shed, the place appointed for the
speaking. At the appointed hour,
11 o’clock, A. M., the shed was literally
crowded'to overflowing, and the day
being warm, your readers can easily
imagino everybody’s feelings—felt hot
of course—fans were in active demand,
and a slight; broeze was prayed for. •
Exerybody settled, and while the
noise had somewhat subsided, Ilis Ex
cellency Jas. M. Smith arose and thank
ed tho audience for their attendance,
and also stated the object of the gath
ering—the celebration of the anni
versary of our independence, which
celebrations had been annually neg
lected in tho South, since the be
ginning of the war. After a shortpray-
or by the chaplain, Rev. A. T. Spalding,
Captain Jno. Milledge, of this city, was
introduced, who read the Declcration
of Independence.
The centennial poem was read by our
former Roman friend, Col. J. A. Stew
art. Some one ha3 said that the Colonel
makes better flou . than poetry, but this
wo respectfully dispute, ns the poem
was certainly interesting.
And this throws us to the oration, and
as Capt. Sidney Dell introduced Hon.
A. II. Stephens, applause and yell after
yell rent the air, riU of which would
certainly have done credit to a band of
Choctaws. Halt of the house rose to
their feet, all eager to get a glimpse of
the great statesman. Mr. Stephens
spoke for an hour and a half, being
frequently applauded during his speech.
The exercises were interspersed with
some splendid music by the Stone
Mountain band.
At 1:50, Capt. Dell announced the
day’s exercises ovor, and the crowd dis
persed, aR being highly pleased with
their mo' .ring’s treat.
AT OGLETHOlirE PARK.
In the afternoon, part of tho visitors
went out to Oglethorpe Park to witness
some old-time English sports and
games. This we did not attend. Some
pronounced it a complete success, while
others a complete failure. We will at
tend to-morrow, however, and prepare
a report for your next.
The A, & W. P. R. R. excursionists
left this afternoon, and a few others, but
there is still a large number of visitors
in the city,

Letter from Dalton. j
rmiimriiecment of St Joseph’* Academy
and llio l a.Unite Jubilee.
Dalton, Ga„ July 5th, 1875.
To the Editor of The Courier:
On this the "brevet” OOih anniversary
of the independence of “llio best govern
ed country in the weld," I am tempted
to write you a few iiuest from Dal ion.
Everyth'ug is quiet hero because lieu 'ly
everybody has gone either *o Afhi'ila or
to Chattanooga to s^end "the glorious
fou: th." But on th's qu 5 ct day, (it is so
si'll that the leaves on the • v s harffly
move) the 'Commencement at Irit. Joseph’s
Academy in charge of the Sl-d’ra of
Mercy, took place.
The children with their bright and
hnpny faces, assembled at the Academy
at 10 o’clock A. M., to secure their
prizes ; which were award' d by the Rev.
Win. Faulkner Browne, pa dor ot the
Catholic church of Dalton and Rome.
Tne exercises were well conducted, nud
nearly all the children received a pri;e.
In tins connection I would remark that
Col. Boa Green, on behalf of tho Daltou
City Company, 1ms donated it five city
lots to be disposed of by raffle for the
benefit of the Sisters in this place. The
ticket' nro to be only oue dollar each.
When we call to m’nd the noble sclf-sac-
rifices of the Sisters of Mercy du agtlio
war in tho hospitals, and now in the ser
vice of the sick and in ihc education of
the rising generation, we can lint be coo
grateful for this generous gi c.
The Sisters at Dalton are especially
worthy, not only of praise, but also of
substantial sympathy for tho labor which
they have undertaken ; and I understand
that Father Browne intends to make this
raffle a success.
I believe that he intends to give the
citizens of Rome a chauce to obtain a
$300 lot for one dollar. And, why should
lie not do so ? Does not the poet say :
“Oh Tome, homo cHy of llio soul,

Yesterday—Sundav tlie 4th—a jubilee

Tins is the jubilee which 1ms been pro
claimed by Pope Pius TX, for the year
1875, throughout the Catholic world.
Tho Catholics of Dalton have catered
into it licai t and sod and attend the ex
ercise, not only with alacrity but also with
evidences of deep piety. It will last fif
teen days, and when it is over I may be
able to give you some details of til's
Cotholic “revival.”
I am informed that Bisliop Gross will
visit Rome during t his month, and I am
sure that the people of Rome will give
him a hearty welcome.

New York Tribune: “Speaker Blaiue
is not only wise iu his generation, but
he is singularly lucky. For a man
bearing his relation to parties and to tho
approaching presidential campaign
nothing for the next six months is so
dangerous as the necessity of taking an
active part in politics. If he could on
ly have the insulation which Minister
Washbune enjoys, it would be tho thing
his best friends would most earnestly
desire. He and vice-President Wilson
were on a train together the other day
which ran off the track. The yice-pre!
sident had the ill luck to escape unhurt
but the speaker got bruised just enough
to confine him to tied for a few days
and so warrant the reports that are now
out that his physicians have required
him to abstain from public speaking or
from active participation in political
affairs for some months to come. The
ex-speaker deserves this good luck, at
which ho is doubtless altogether too
clever to mourn.”
