Cairo is building up rapidly, ^lie sound of tlio hammer and saw is heard from early inom to the close ol day. While the saw will keep as great a chatter ing as two or three trains of cars.— The chicken trade is carried on to a greater extent than 1 have ever seeu About two hours before train time the coops begiu to arrive at the depot, and often hundreds of fowls are 'ship- ed in one evening. By the way this would be a good place for the next conference to meet. There will soon be two new churches erected here, Methodist and Mission ary Baptist On Friday evening I visited the Academy, heard the pupils examined on their different studies, they were very thorough and did hon- lotli to themselves and their in structor, Mr. T. J. Phillips, who seem ed to have spared no pains to render them proficient in every branch of study. After the examination came declamations and compositions.— the manner in which the youths acquitted themselves I would not be sui prised to hear of some of them oc cupying a high position at the bar or among the learned of the land. And some of the young ladies bid fair to second Ilentzs or Westmorland. Mr. P. says lie would be pleased to have the patronage of any part of the State county, and I do not think parents who wish to send their children from home could do no better than to send here, the place being noted for morality and health aud board be- ig cheaper than most places. The gardens aud patches in towi and its vacinity are in a llourishin; condition. I expect you will hear Irom them on the 12ih of this month. There is so little said or thought of political affair* that one might almost inc he had found "The lotus den where the soul may lie lost iu lysiau.” This is quite refreshing af ter being in the political whirlpool so long. You will hear from me higher up the country in a sliorl time. Truly, Yours, Exile. FOR EVERY BODY TO READ.

THE GREAT CANAL. The Flail Adopted. WHAT TIIE SOUTH AND WEST WANT—MEMORIAL TO CON CUSS—MAJORITY AND MI NORITY REPORTS—VALUA- •iH.E STATISTICS. The following are the majority and minority reports submitted to the Cou- ventiou on Wednesday: majority report. 2’o the Conjress of the United State The undersigned, a committee ap pointed by a convention held at Atlan ta, Ga., on the 20th day of May, 1S73, composed of representatives from tlnrtiren States, to memorialize Con gress upon the necessity for cheaper transportation between the great pro ducing and consuming sections of the country, respectfully represent; That the vast interests, common to all sections ol'lhc country, involved in the opening of lines of water commu nication between the Atlautie sea board and the great "basin of the Mis sissippi,” entitle the proposed routes to the immediate and earnest atten tion of the United Stales Government The necessity for cheaper transporta tion is vital and urgent, aud the best means of securing it is a question up on the wise and speedy solution of which depends the continued prosperi ty and contentment of tli2 country. To the West and South this ques tion is of peculiar importance.—Their interests are iu a great measure iden tical. being the two great producing sections. The benefits of clican trans portation must be felt by all other sec tions in an almost equal degree. Iu the lour States of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Alabama, there is an annual deficiency of fifty millions bushcles of grain, which must be sup plied from the West. This deficiency is increasing, owing to the great decrease of available farm labor and the rapid increase of the non-produciug population of those States. Whether the deficiency in the other Southern States and the conse quent high prices for subsistence are taken into cousidera'ion, it will l>e seen at once that no question is of such vital moment to tho South as cheap transportation. Since 18(»G, the value of cotton (raw and manufactured) exported lrom the United States, amoun’s to $1,500,000,- 000. This is about CO per cent, of our total exports in value. Cotton is in deed our only reliable aud remunera tive article of export,, and is the real basi* of the wealth of the whole coun try. The preseut high rates of freight prevent the exportation of grain from the United Stales almost entire ly, although our surplus is sufficient for the wants of the civilized world. They also compel the Southern States to employ a large portion of their lim ited laber in the production of food- crops (to which their soil and climate are not adapted) aud to that extent deprive the West of a market. To il lustrate, the average production ol corn iu the four States mentioned is ten bushels per acre. To make up the deficiency in the quantity now produ ced it would be necessary to cultivate at least live million acres.—This acre age devoted to cotton would yield at least 1,250,000 bales, worth, 15 cents per pound, $125,000,000. Deduct ft ora this the value of the corn which the same acreage would produce, ami wc have $75,000,000 to represent the amount of loss suffered annually by the Southern aud Western farmers from a lack of facilities for a cheap in terchange of products. This direct loss is greatly increased h}’ the reflex operation of the causes uuder consideration. The high price of food increases the cost of the manu facture as well as of the production of every other article wc need. While the Western farmer realizes but a pit tance upon his teeming crops, every manufactured article which lie uses conics to him burdened by onerous and oppressive tariffs. Cheap trans portation from the West would not on ly cheapen lood, but would, as a con sequence, also cheapen labor. This result would enable the manufacturer to supply our wants at greatly redu ced prices, and would enable him lo compete successfully ad road as well as at home. Our manufactories would increase, our exports would be doub led, out shipping interests* revived, aud the balance of trade would be largely In our favor instead of against us us it now is. Those States watered by the Missis sippi river aud its tributaries are the granary of the Union, and might be the granaries of the world, but isolated as they virtually are. for the waul of cheap aud adequate transportation, existing evils must increase and spread uutil poverty and bankruptcy over shadow the whole land. The feverish anxiety which pervades the public mind upon this subject is abundantly shown iu the fact that t’on- gre.-s is gravely asked to take control of the entire railroad system of the country, and by legislative action reg ulate their charges. Whether this would mitigate or aggravate the evil— whether by Congressional manage ment. the cost of operating the roads would be 60 diminished a* to afford the desired relief, are questions which do not admit of discus-ion here. They are only mentioned to show that a great pressing necessity underlies the whole matter, which cannot louger re main unheeded, without serious detri ment to the public interest. The entire value of a bushel of corn, transported a thousand miles by rail, is consumed by ihe cost of transporta tion. This leaves no profit to the car rier, none to the shipper, and not one cent to the producer. that if the railroad should carry corn for its actual cost and nothing more, from $L Louis to Savannah, or from Chicago to New York, the pro ducer would still receive no adequate remuneration for his labor. Neither can the indefinite multiplicatior of rai’roads. nor any legislative restric tion as to freight charges, cure the evil, so long as the actual cost of oper ating railroads remain undiminshed. Until this cost shall be reduced, by means not uow known, a resort to either of the remedies proposed will prove a mere exDedieut, which, in the end will surely disappoint public ex pectation. We do not want expe- dients or partial remedies. A cure of the evil is demanded bj' the farming iuterst of the country; and to nothing short of this should we look for perma nent relief! In seeking this relief, the first steps to be taken w to find a less costly mode of transi>ortation than by rail. Experience teaches us that wa ter furnishes the cheapest means of transportation known to the commer cial world, and there is but little rea son to doubt that the solution ct this whole question will be found to rest upon the construction of great lines of water communication between the West and the Seaboard, wherever ua- tuiehas provided away. Build the Niagara 'Ship Canal, connecting the lakes I)}* an unbroken chain of naviga tion from Chicago tp the sea; connect lake Champlaiu by ship canal with the Iludson; enlarge the Eric Canal, if possible, extend \’our water lines from the lakes to the Mississippi by every proposed route,. where nature has provided a way; improve the nav igation of 3’our rivers so that barges may pass through the entire length without hindrance, aud you will have done more to relieve the country from its present troubles than we ’justly hope to secure by an}’ other means. In this way the railroads may be made the feeders aud distributors for the "reat trade arteries, and the caus- which now induce them to enter in to extensive leases and combinations, many instances so injurious, would, a great degree, cease to exist. A glance at the map will be suffi cient to show that, from the great lakes to the Missippi river, there is a vast expan e of country, divided by the Apalachaiu chain, which separates the waters of the Atlantic, from those which flow into thy Gulf of Mexico. The Ohio aud the Sanies rivers have their sources among the mountains of this chain; and further South, also the Tennessee, the Coosa and Ocmulgee. Bccent surveys have demonstrated that it is feasible to connect b}- canal the Ohio and' the James river, aud thus, so to speak, turn the Mississippi into the Atlantic at ^Norfolk and at Savannah. The merits of the James river and the Kanawha canal have been fully discussed, and we will not pause hereto repeat the many reasons which have been offered iu favor of this great work. We crave, however, }’our attention for a moment, while we point out some of the advantages which would flow from tho construc tion of the Atlantic and Great W Canal, connecting the Mississippi through the Tennessee river with the Atlantic ocean at Savannah, Georgia. The Tennessee outers the Ohio a short distance above the confluence of the latter with the Mississippi. From this point the general direction of the Tennessee is southeast, to the State of Alabama. At that point the Coosa aud the Tennessee approach each other— there being only a narrow neck of land between them. Across this isthmus a canal thirty miles loti;, would connect lliesc two rivers, aud opeu navigation to Borne, Georgia. From Borne the route follows the Eto wah to its nearest poiut ol approach to the Ocmulgee river, and down the latter to the city of Macon, and there by to the sea. Nature has already supplied the greater portion of this route, and it remains for us D plete the work which she has s> begun. The route has been surveyed by distinguished engineers of the Wi Department, and has been prououn- d by them eminently Iscaible. It oilers the following advanta^ First, Cheap transportation, cording to the official reports the cost ol transportation a ton of grain from St. Louis to Savannah, by this route, would be $4,HS. It costs, l*y rail, $14.- Thc saving upon each ton would he $!>,52— amounting in the aggregate to about $14,000,000 per annum, upon grain alone, to be divided between ihe | consumer and producer. | Second, this route would be open the entire year, never rendered im practicable by ice m winter, nor by drought in summer. Third, It would greatly increase the coasting trade, luruishing employment during the winter months (when the Niagara Ship Canal shall be opened) to the steamers aud other vessels en gaged during summer upon the lakes. Fourth, The route passes through immense forests of yellow pine; aud the west would be able to obtain the best lumber in unlimited quantities, and at low prices. Fifth, It opens all the Southern Stales east ol the Mississippi river, as a market for its grain, bacon, ha}* aud other products, the demand for which will constantly increase. In this the West would he absolutely without a competitor. Sixth, It will furnish cheap trans- partatiou for raw cotton to the other sections, and lor the manufactured ar ticle in return. Such advantages would certainly develop the manufac ture of cotton to a vast extent iu the western and northwosteru States, aud eastern States. In view of these considerations, wc most respectfully and earnestly urge the government of the United Stales to extend such aid to these works as will ensure their speedy construction. * MINORITY REPORT. The. undersigned, a tuiuority of your Committee ou Business, regret that they cannot agree to the report of the majority. Some of us caunot consent iu all ol its details to the memorial, as set forth in the report of majority of the committee. We submit to your bod}’ the following, in addition to that re ported by the majority, and recom mend the adoption of the following resolutions: Resolved, That, in the opinion of this Convention, the Atlantic and Great Western Canal, as well as all other enterprises of simalar character for cheap water transportation, should be national highways—built, owned and controlled by the United States Government, without the intervention of any corporation whatever. Resolved, Tnat all such highways should be made practically free, aud no other toll he exacted by their traff ic than is needed to maintain them. Resolved, That we are opposed to the intervention of anv cor[K>ratiou between the people, who are to pay for the use oftl^se works, and the Government. -ill of which is resiK-ctfully submit ted. The minority report was signed by Tomlinson Fort of Tennessee, Her bert Radcliff of Massachusetts J. M. Eason dlb South Carolina. John V. Gould ofKentucky. and F. L. Viilip- gue of Florida. J. W. R. Pope moved to amend by striking out "Savannah” wherever it occur* in the majorit}’ report and in serting Southeastern Atlantic ports; which prevailed. The majority retort as amended, was then adopted by the following vote: Fear—Alabama, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, North Carolina. South Carolina. New Y'ork. Missouri. Flori da. Virginia and Georgia—1^-4. Says—Tennessee—12. CH1CKAMAUGA CANAL. The following resolution, reported by the Business Committee was adopted: Resolved, That we request Congress to have »urveys mode for a canal from the month of South Chickamauga creek, in the Tennessee river, to Home, Ga., in the Coosa river. Catching a Wife. The most curious ceremony known to the Esquimaux, says Dr. llavs, in his lecture, is, perhaps, that of mar riage. 11 is done thus : When a boy kills a polar bear, ii is considered suffi cient proof of Ins ability to uiaintaiu a family ; he is, therefore, told to go an»l catch a wife. Watching his op portunity at night time, lie pounces npou a victim, aud attempts ;o carry her off; she. however, struggles anil shrieks, uutil she has collected around her a group of sympathizers. $he their turns upon her captor, aud bites aud scratches until he is compelled to release her ; she then darts into the crowd, and attempts to cscapo ; he follows but not unmolested. All the old women take scourges of dried seal skin and flagellate him un mercifully .ns he passes, making at the same time every effort to arrest him in his course. If. despito these little experiments in matrimonial bliss, hu should catch his victim, the biting and scratching acetic is renewed, and in all piobability he is compelled to release her, and'the chase, with its at tendant comforts, is resumed. Should he overcome all obstacle, tho third capture usually proves effectual, and the victim, ceasiug her struggles, is led away amid the acclamations and re joicing of the assembled multitude.— Ex. With us the mothcr-iu-law comes to time with her flagellating apparatus after the interesting ceremony, whilst the wife reserves her scratching pro pensities for some occasion when her John Henry comes rollicking home. John Phoenix in tiie ladies Car.—John Phu*nix, the imitnblu wit, thus told au iucidcnt couuected with a ride on the New York Central Bail- road : "1 had observed that at each change of the cars, aud they were frequent, when the general scramble tock place one car was defended from the assault by a stalwart man, usually of the Ir ish pcrsualion, who, deaf to meuaccs and uusofteued by bribes, maintained his nost for the benefit of the “teddies/ "Leddies’ car, sir, av you please ; furred car for gintlcmcn without la dies.” "Need 1 say that this car was the comfortable one iu the whole train, aud with the firm resolve that distin guished me in the discharge of my du ty towards rnvsclf, determined to get into it. So when wc chauged cars at Utica, I rushed forth, aud seciti; nice young (>ersoii and a pretty face urging her way through the crowd, 1 stepped up to her side, and with un natural grace aud gallantry, offered my arm and assistance. They were graccfullvt accepted, aud proud of my success, 1 urged my fair charge upon the. platform of the ladies cm old enemy holding the door. "Is this your leddv, sir V” "With an inward apology to Mrs. Plio nix for the great injustice doi her charms, I replied, ‘'Yis,” Jud; of my horror wheu the low employ' ol a monopolizing company said with a tone of a u acquaintance :” "Well, Sal, 1 guess you have done well ; but l don't think his family will think much ol’ the match Growino DesfeRATE.—The un fortunate spinsters of Massachusetts, who are every day increasing in num bers, while by an unhappy fatality the marriageable males are rapidlv de creasing, have determined upon a des perate expedient to relieve themselves from the "horrors (as Sir Boyle Bochc would*delight to say) ot single- blcssedness.” One hundred and six ty-two women ol Lowcl have united in a petition to the Legislature to make polygamy legal. By this sim ple method they propose lo apportion the men iu such a manner that every lorn virgin may bo sure of a husband. The men, however, have not been consulted, aud will probably object most seriously to any such arrange ment. Many of them now prefer°to leave the Stute rather than mate with ouc of its strong-minded women ; and if they arc threatened with twenty, a general exodus may he expected.— The determined maidens have attach ed a condition to their request, which would defeat its object if the law should he passed viz : that the conscut of the first wife should be procured be fore the soleniuizatiou of subsequent marriages. In the meantime Gov. Andrews’ “forty thousand aimless women” are still without husband* and kuow not what to do.- Ex. — mum The Bright Side. Look ou the bright side. It is the right side. The times may be hard, but it will make them no easier to wear a gloomy and sad countenance. It is the sunshine, and not the cloud, that makes the flower.

At the same time the new tin pail was heard wandering among* the rafter, and the raisin box came bounding out of the door.
