Atlantic and Great Western Canal.
In the last day’s proceedings of the Na
liotml Commercial Convention, in St.
Louis, as published in the Daily Globe of
that city, we find Mr. Weems, of this State.
Chairman of the Committee on the Atlan
tic and Great Western Canal, made anew
report on the subject of constructing a
ship canal from Quntersville. Tennessee,
to Gadsden, Alabama, thus connecting the
Tennessee river with the Const At Rnie
a water connection by canal is also pro
posed to the seaboard via Macon. This
subject has a special interest with the
readers of the Enterprise
In support of the report of the Com
mittee, Mr. Weems spoke by permission
of the Convention at some length on the
importance and feasibility of the under
taking. The cost, as estimated by com
petent engineers, will he about $16,500,-
000. This sum, said Mr. Weams, looks
Irage—but the work is an important one,
and of vast interest to the people not only
of the States of Georgia and Tennessee,
but of the whole West and Northwest,
who are seeking cheap water communica
tion with the interior States of the South,
and with the Atlantic seaboard. So great
an enterprise, of course, cannot be suc
cessfully carried forward by private capi
tal ; it must receive aid from the Govern
ment. Such great enterprises seem to
justify and, indeed, to demand the assist
ance of the General Government. They
are, in the broadest sense, national enter
prises, whether viewed from a political or
commercial standpoint.
According to the United States census
of 1860. the States bordering on the Miss
issippi river and contiguous to it, viz.:
Kansas, Nebraska, lowa, Mennesota, Wis
consin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana. Illinois,
Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Geor
gia produced 111,3-10,700 bushels of wheat,
641,672,800 bushels indian corn, 72,497,-
800 bushels oats, 5,461,200 bushels rye,
7,633,600 tons hay, and 39,509,000 bushels
Irish potatoes. According to the prices
given by the Agricultural Bureau, the
prices of these crops average about as fol
lows : wheat, $1 05 per bushel ; Indian
corn 60 cents ; oats, 50 cents ; rye, 90
cents; potatoes, 50 cents, and hay $lB
per ton. This would give the prices of
these crops in the seventeen States above
mentioned as follows: wheat, $116,905,-
741 ; Indian corn, $385,003,680 oats, $36,-
248,900; rye, $4,915,080 ; Irish potatoes,
$19,754,500; sweet potatoes, $12,421,100,
and hay $137,404,800; making a grand
total of $712,658,801. The cotton crop
of the emire South for that year amounted
to 5,198,077 bales, of 400 pounds to the
bale. This at 12 l-2e. per pound brought
$260,000,000. Although the cotton crop
of that year was remarkably fine, the best
that was ever made, yet these figures show
that the corn crop of the States above
mentioned,amounted in value to $125,000,-
000 more than the whole cottou crop,
and the value of the grain crops, above
given was nearly three times as much as
the cotton crop.
According to the Bureau of Agricultu
ral Societies for 1870 the same States pro
duced crops as follows : wheat. 167,-
554,000 ; indian corn, 911,364,000; oats,
146,652,000; rye, 7,272,000; Irish pota
toes, 47,880,000 bushels ; hay, 11,332,000
tons. The amount of sweet potatoes pro
duced in 1870 is not given, but it would
be quite safe to put the increase over the
production of 1860 at 25 per cent. 1 his
would give the crop at 31,052,200 bushels.
The increase of wheat production du
ring this decade iu those st ites is 50,21 1,-
300; of corn, 269,091,200; of oats, 75,-
154,200 ; of rye, 1,810,800, of Irish pota
toes, 8,381,(100 ; of sweet potatoes. 0.210,
000. The percentage of increase in ten
years is as follows: Of wheat, 55 ; of In
dian corn, 42; of oats, 103 1-2; of rye,
33 1-3 ; of Irish potatoes, 21 ; of sweet po
tatoes, 25 ; of hay, 48.
The total value of these crops, in 1870.
foots up .the enormous sum of $1,040,503.
000. Ths cotton crop of that year in alt
the South brought $280,000,000, or about
one-fourth as much as the cereals men
tioned. The bay crop falls but little short
of the cotton crop in value The growth
of some of the States is beyond parallel
and almost beyond belief. The rates of
increase almost staggers one's faith in the
saying that “figures do not lie.” The fol
lowing table exhibits startling results, not
withstanding the proverbial rapid (level
opment.

When it is remembered that during the
decade which marks this astonishing in
crease and development, the country pass
ed through the most terrific war of modern
limes, which took hundreds ofthousands of
our producing population from the plow,
the above exhibit is a gratifying tribute to j
the amazing recuperative power our
country. |
It is more than propable that the decade,
closing with the year 1880, will witness i
even a greater development of many of
the Western States. “The Starof Empire
still westward takes its way." New coun
tries are still being opened, new lines of
railroads are being pushed into the do
mains of the red man, new avenues of trade
being opened, and there is no diminution
of the emigrant trains wending their way
over the Western prairies. Indeed, emi
gration to the United States has increased
so rapidly that several of the governments
of Europe are takiag energetic steps to
arrest the depopulation of their deminions.
The population of the United States is in
creasing at the rate of about thirty-five
per cent, for each decade, and the increase
of products is al*out three times as much.
We have already seen that the crops of
wheat, corn, oats, rye, potatoes and hay.
in the seventeen States mentioned, raised
in 1870, are worth over one thousand mil
lions of dollars. More than two-thirds of
this is furnished by the ten Northwestern
States, viz Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Michigan. Wisconsin, Minnesota,
lowa, Kansas and Nebraska. To this
amount must be added the other farm pro
ducts of these States, such as live stock
(slaughtered), hides, tallow, bacon, lard’
oil, bntter, cheese, leather, wool, bread
stuffs, etc.
From the “Manual of the Railroads of
she Uniled States,” page 28, we get the
following figures : The population of
those inland States cut oil iroiu the sea
board, was, in 1867. about 1 1,000,000, and
the length of their railways was 17,622
miles. The aggregate length of the rail
ways in the United States was 39,344 miles,
and the amount of tounuge moved by
them was 48,888,000 (exclusive of coal),
with an average value of $l5O per ton.
This would give 21,728, as the number of
tons of merchandise moved by those West
ern railways in 1868, worth the enor
mous sum of $3259,00.000.
Besides the 17,622 miles of railroads,
those States have 16,500 miles of navi
gable rivers, and the amount of tonnage
h inie upon them by their 2382 boats and
barges must be added to that carried by
llieiv railroads.
But let us inquire how much of this
vast quantity of freight found its way to
llie sea. and to the foreign markets.
The Bureau of Statistics for 1870 gives
the total exports from the United States at
$395,681.859, of which raw cotton and
cotton manufactures amounted to to $221,-
885.215, leaving a balance of $163,790,-
614 to be furnished by all the other States,
and from all other articles exported. Of
this balance, it is estimated that not ex
ceeding $50,000,000 worth were furnished
by the West. This is loss than two per
cent of the value of the tonnage moved by
her railroads alone in 1868.
Of Indian corn there were raised in
1.87(1. in all of the States, 1,094,255,000
bushels, of which only 9,750,000 were ex
ported—less than nine-tenths of one per
cent. There were raised 235,844,700
bushels oi wheat, of which 34,305,000
were exported—less than fifteen per cent.
It cannot be said that the vast amount
produced was necessary for home con
sumption.
Sir. Kingsford, in his treaties on the
“ Canadian Canals," uses the following
suggestive language:
••The commerce of the Northwest is not
any fanciful speculation, nor is its magni
tude in any way questionable. It is a re
ality as inquiry will establish. It has out
grown the Erie Canal , and the complaint
of the West is. that the quantity carried is
so immense that carriers can command
their own terms. The condition of the
producers of the West lias been described
without exaggeration, as that of men shut
out from tire markets of the world, op
pressed by the excessive production of
their own toil, which remains wasting and
worthless on their hands, depriving labor
of half its reward, discouraging industry
and paralizing enterprise In many locali
ties the produce is even without value for
it is without a market. * * * ”
“ It is estimated that out of the sixty
(60) cents paid in New England for a
bushel of corn, only nine cents goes to
the producer, the remainder being ex
pended in freights aud commission. It is
this sense of inferiority of position which
has hitherto led to great discontent in the
West.” * * *
"This surplusage of grain account* for
the extended pork trade. The hog is in
deed regarded as corn in a concentrated
(but expensive) form.” * * *
“The State of Illinois lias officially rep
resented the condition of the Western
States with great force.” * *
“What it asks is a direct trade between
the Northwestern States aud Liverpool,
on the plea that the increasing volume of
business cannot be maintained without re
course to the natural outlets of the lakes.
If this opportunity he vouchsafed, aud the
requisite facilities be given, the surplus
produce will be increased with a rapidity
even beyond that of the past century. It
is estimated that there has been shipped
annually from the State of Illinois alone,
for the last ten years, a surplus of food
sufficient to Iced 10,000,000 people, and at
the same time there has been a positive
waste from the inability to bring crops
profitably to market.”
‘ Here tben,” says Commissioner Mau
ry, “is tlie State of Illinois speaking in
.behalf of the West and advocating the im
provement. of the St. Lawrence and Ni
agara rivers, with ship canals at immense
cost, for the sake of six months’ difficult
and dangerous trade with Liverpool.”
'fhe lack of cheap transportation lias
driven American grain out the markets of
Western Europe. These markets stand
ready and anxious to take every bushel of
our surplus corn and wheat at remunera
tive prices, but the Western farmer must
see his produce rot for want of means to
get it out. In the meantime other coun
tries have stepped in and are reaping the
harvest that properly belongs to ns. The
Russian Empire is the great rival of the
United States for the grain trade. The
construction of the Nuremberg canal, con
necting the Danube aud the Rhine, has es
abled the Black sea provinces of Russia to
control the grain trade, and Odessa is the
great grain seaport of the world. Commo
dore Maury estimates that if we could
reduce the price of grain in foreign mar
kets ten cents per bushel we would gain
control of the trade. The proposed canal
through Georgia would reduce the price
more than double that sum, as we will
presently show.
In the report of the United States Com
missioners to the Paris Exposition of 1807,
George S. Hazard, Commissioner on
Cereals, closes his report with the follow
ing practical suggestions That in com
peting for the supply of the English
market the most formidable rival of the
United States will he Kussia. * * *
The United Kingdom of Great Britain
being the great and only reliable market
for wheat and corn of the world, and in
view of the impending competition that we
are to meet in that market, it becomes
expedient that the producers of the
United States adopt the most perfect sys
tem of cultivation and preparation of their
cereals to meet the demands of this com
merce. * * * We should encourage
introduction and culture of new varieties
lof cereals from European countries. We
should increase to the utmost and enlarge
1 our channels of communications and
I cheapen the cost of handling and trans
-1 portation of our great food staples.

MACON, GA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1872.
The Coming Horse.
The previous disease which is at pres
ent atllictiug the cquiuo populatiou. and
seriously incommoding thoso other kinds
of population which pertain to the hu
man species, suggests the inquiry wheth
er or not the horse can be improved upon.
We are prepared to give a hint in that
direction.
Drivers and sundry most learned na
turalists are of the opinion that tho horse
originated in Africa, and was there first
brought into subjection lo man. And in
Africa there is to be found a soi t of revised
and improved, though condensed, edition
of the noble animal whose coughs and
sneezes now echo dismally through our
streets- This edition is calledthe quagga.
Billion believed the quagga to have been
originally a hybrid between the horse and
zebra, but il so the hybridism was not de
stroved the prcreatlve powers of the quad
ruped. It retains all the pi iucipal char
acteristics of the horse, with the exception
of the tail, which is unmistakably asinine.
The legs are slender and well shaped, the
head and ears small and beautifully pro
portioned ; the body muscular, though
slight, and the eye remarkably brilliant
anil intelligent. The neck and fore parts
are dark and brown striped with broad
black bands ; the hind parts are light
brown, and the locomotive apparatus is
white. The chief disadvantage under
which the quagga labors is in size, it be
ing only about four feet in height. This
drawback is at least partially counterbal
anced by tho fact that Ihe llesli can be
eaten with pleasure and profit. It is very
sweet, though somwbat coarse in texture,
and while the natives are remarkably fond
of it, tne epicures of I’sris have declared
it to he infinitely better than the majority
of hoarding-house beef.
But the most important recommenda
tion of the quagga is that this docile and
serviceable beast is proof against all at
tacks of epizootic. In Africa, as in Ameri
ca, the horses and mules succumb easily
the detestable distemper, but the gay and
festive quagga laughs it to scorn. No pre
monitory sneeze, no threatening cough,
no sickly sweat ever disturbes his equine
equanimity. lie is always ready for work
or play , is never troubled by any sort of
disease, and having reached the allotted
age of his race fifteen years— dies sud
denly and without making any fuss or ex
pense about it. A. few years ago an En
lisbmau delighted the Londoners by driv
ing a well broken team of quaggas through
Rotten Row and Hyde Park, where they
displayed their speed and strength lo the
satisfaction of all spectators.
If, as some veterinary savan declares,
epizootic is likely to become as much of
an institution in the land as small pox aud
measles, the sooner we commence the im
portation aud propagation of quaggas the
better. We are not at all hostile to horses,
but a lively and healthy quagga is cer
tainly to be preferred to the four legged
invalids which now sui round us.— St_
Louis Republican.
A German savan records the results of
a series of experiments made with a view
of ascertaining whether by igniting hone
ash with organic substances, such as glue
size, sugar, etc., a good decolorizing char
coal is formed, and also whether the spent
animal black can be vivified to its former
strength by a similar process. It appears
from the author’s extensive researches
that animal black may be entirely revivi
fied iu closed vessels by ignition with or
ganic matter, which need not he nitroge
nious.
