Thursday Moraine, -July 8, 1875 iM^oKiAwi 1 WAieK5nr«Kr " \tr 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 ? the miss sinuTi.tu or (oi.oitt.n 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 The “Gate City.” How tap • Ulorlnti* Fourth” was Cele* lirntril to Atlanta. 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. IIO». JEFFERSON DAVIS. An Atlanta ppecial to the Augusta Constitutional'-t says ex-President Davis will be offered tho Chancellorship of the State University at the next meeting of ^ho trustees of that institution, which will be held at Athens during commence* meet week. Wc dot know that Georgia •auld better honor he-self than to place Mr. Davis at the head of her State Uni versity—that is, if 'hat gcutlomau is ful ly competent, by reason of qualifications, to assume the duties of such a position. That hi? litern y acquirement' arc all that is necessa / we liavo no doubt; but it may be po rible that lie would not be filled for n position of the k'tui. We should be w-'ling and glad !o make him chancellor, nud make it a li'V-rime office for him on the condition that ho js the man for the place. We should like to claim him as a citizen of Georgia. There is not a living man that has not & ocLain degree off asiDinc qualities in h ; s disposition. It wijl stick out some where or in some way in spite of the advice and persuasion of his best friends. For tb : ? rea»on the gientest charity should be exercised for the foibles and weak- ncssci of mankind generally. We always make our calculationsjn an estimation of a men's character on that line. The way to punch a glass goblet without break'ng it, is "to make' the punch in it. 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, GEORG! V PRESS ASSOCIATION. The convention of tho Georgia Press Association will be held on next Wednesday. Quito a number of the members are now in the city, and others will come In to-morrow. The Georgia press will be well represented, and all will go up to Toccoa Falls, the Conslilu- Von having extended an excursion to that point, THAT PRACTICAL JOKE. The excitement caused by the fatal(?) Alston-Clarko duel has at last subsided, and it was whispered around thatafow decaqters of champagne were drank in a back-room, all parties concerned on- joying the joke immensely. THE COTTON FACTORY. The corner-stone of tho, cotton factory was laid to-day, a procession being formed in front of the Kimball House, and marched down to Marietta street to the site selpoted for tho huRding, THE WATER-WORKS. The work on this enterprise is being rapidly pushed fo-ward, and the water will be ready for use in a few days. 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, Tho orphans of tho lioart must tu* a to tlr Yesterday—Sundav tlie 4th—a jubilee began in St. Joseph’s church, Dalton 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.

Richmond, Va., July 5.-The Fourth was celebrated hero to-day by a more general suspension of business than lias been on any similar occasion since 1860. No general military disply, but several companies, both white and black, paraded and spent the day in festivities. Numerous civic excursions anil pic-nics were largely attended and almost everybody soemed to have devo ted the day to enjoyment. Nothin" worthy of special note occurred. 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.” New York, July 5.—There were im - mense crowds at both morning and evening services at Beecher’s church yesterday, larego numbers being turned away on the occasion. Thirty new members of the church wero received. Next Wednesday evening a speaial meeting of Plymouth Society will be held for tho purposo of raising the salary of the pastor. Beecher will not leave town until Wednesday for his vacation. Canton (Miss.) Mail: Some of our enterprising fruit growers are doing a good business shipping early apples and pears to tho West. We understand that these ait idea command a ready sale and paying prices. In a day or two peaches will also find their way to the same market. The fruit trade in this section premisses to be good all summer, from the fact that the frost killed nearly all the fruit north of Tennessee. At a prayer meeting an old man got up and prayed for a son now in a felons cell for the crime of murder.

The Southeastern railroad is now selling tickets from St. Louis to Nash ville for 82.60, which is very near bed rock rates. How the Nashville and Chattannooga company will meet this move remains to be seen.
