To city subscribers by the month , Seventy-five '•nto, served by carriers. 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. Wheat.

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. Who, alter this, shall say the Chinese are not a progressive people 7 The gov ernment has issued two proclations —one forbidding Chines landlords to charge extra rent for roomss or houses on ac , count of the birth of children in them, and the other prohibiting, under severe i penalties, the Murdering of new-born ba -1 bes. 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.
