Th* Hill Gate IipaovzMEST — From
the annual report of Gjn. John Newton it
appears that last year’s blast at Hell Gate,
New York, was a success; nearly twenty
thousand tons of rock have been removed,
the depth of the channel over the part of
ths reef to whioh the dredging has been ap
plied varies from twenty-one to twenty-eight
feet, and the required depth of twenty-six
feet has been obtained over a large area
The success of a great engine* ring feat is

—It has been commonly said, eays the
Sun, that the cold water poem, ‘The Old
Oaken Bucket,’ was inspired by a glass of
brandy. A writer in the Boston Herald af
firms tho truth of the story, and tells it as a
personal reoolietftion. Samuel Woodworth,
the author, was a printer, and was employed
in an office in Chambers street, New York-
One day he dropped into Mallory’s barroom,
in Franklin street, to get some brandy and
water. The liquor was exoellent, and Wood-
worth remarked that it was superior to any-
hing be ever tasted. ‘No,’said a comrade,
'there was one thing that you and I nsed to
think far surpassed this in the way of drink
ing.’ ‘What was that?’ asked Woodworth,
dubiously. ‘Fresh spring wster that we
used to drink from the old osken backet
that hung in the well, after our return from
tho hay field on a sultry day in summer.’
The rhythm cfth3 phrase, ‘Pheoldoaksn
backet that hung in the well,' struck Wood-
worth at once, and the pictnro of the woll at
his boyhood homo came to his mind, With
in a few hoars he had completed the poem.

from Davisville to Doyleatown, eleven miles,

Tbo Extension of "tbo Macon
and Brunswick Railroad to
Atlanta.
Oar friend, tha editor of the Chatta
nooga Times, very pleasantly hut pointed
ly takes ns to task for opposing the build
ing of another railroad to Atlanta, when
tha existing highway carries all the
freight that offers, and can transport ten
times more, and yet after a suspension
of dividends for several years, iB only
able to pay to its needy stockholders five
per cent, annually.
Besides, ever since 1874, when the
treaty was arranged by Governor Smith,
representing the State for the Macon and
Brunswick Beilroad, and Mr. Wad-
Icy on the part of the Central,
there have been no differences or
discriminations in freight or passenger
fares between the Central and Macon
and Brnnswick Hoads. These fares have
been nniform, and as low as coaid possi
bly be afforded, and tho compromise has
inured very decidedly to the benefit of
tho weaker party to the contraot. So we
learn from the managers of the Macon
and Brunswick road.
We can see no reason for attempting
to break down an old and self built road
by a ruinous competition which will in
jure both of the contending parties, en
danger the pnblic safety, and 6nd in the
bankruptcy of one or both of them. We
venture the opinion that in tho early
days of railroading in this country, had
the fature been seen, no charter would
have been asked for or accepted where
the franchises of the corporation were
not duly set forth and protected against
rival lines within a reasonable distance.
This cannot bo done now, bnt by every
principle of right and equity those com
panies which have been the pioneers ot
progress in the State, and have done so
muoh to develop its resources and wealth*
onght not in effect to ba legislated against.
Thia is said ppon general principles. In
the present instance we oppose the exten
sion of the Macon and Brunswick Bul
losa to Atlanta on the ground that it
will be detrimental te the intereBt3 of
Macon, b/ * uhtracting much of the trade
and produce >vhich now centres here, and
transferring ths same to our sister city.
This is too plain to need demonstration.
Under tho powerful manipulation of At
lenta capital and drummers a consider'
able portion of the produce of Southern
Georgia would be taken through without
even breaking bulk, and return freights
also, give Macon the go by.
Bat the ohief injury would inure from
the loss of the valuable wagon trade of
the oountiea east of tho Oomnlgee. • The
rival road would, of course, offer every
possible inducement to the inhabitants to
ship to Atlanta, because it would bo toils
interest to do so.
It is not surprising that onr Onattanoo-
ga contemporary antagonizes the Knox
ville extension. I: would open up a new
route to the Northwest, and, therefore,
to a certain extent, operate against the
interests of that city. Listen to its bald
assertion:
The looal business from Maoon to
Kaoxville would not support one raixid
train oer day. It will be forty years be
fore Knoxville has direot connection with
Cincinnati. The purchaser, or lessee, or
whoever may control the Maoon and
Brunswick, will find the extension to At
lanta profitable, because there he taps a
system of roads and ssonres a better lo
oal business at once than the Knoxville
ronte can famish for years to oome. Tho
I an? ar a ,»acuf, that the Atlanta extension
would carry business away from Mao on
to Atlanta, would put ns back to the
days of six-horse road wagons for freight
ing and atage-ooaohes for travel, if car
ried to its legitimate logical consequence.!
Thia may be plain to the author of
the above paragraph, bnt certainly is very
misty to every one else. To attempt to
do business where baslnes3 is already
overdone, is a novel way to make money,
unless thenew corner has capital snffiaien 1
to whip out his competitors. Would thia
be so in tho ease under review ? We
trow not; but have always supposed,
manger the opinion of the Times, that the
way to make and build up a business is
to tap and develop new and rioh fields of
enterprise which have been entered^
It was pursuing this very oourse that
oalled.'Atlanta and Chattanooga Into exist
ence. When ths Western and Atlantic
railroad was started, it literally began no
where and ended nowhere. But the noble
territory whioh it traversed soon swarmed
with emigrants transported thither over
this line, and erelong, far reaohing con
nections beyond, made it one of the grand
est avennes of commeree in the Sonth.
And so will it be with tho Knoxville
extension. Permeating a new and rioh
region which, under the inspiriting influ
ence of tho “iron horse,” will treble, its
products in the first decade of years, and
on the direct ronte to the queen city of
the West, it is only a question of time
and that the briefest, before the new
road will loom into a great and magnifi
cent highway of commerce. Onr con
temporary should have informed himsel
ere essaying to dsolareso emphat-f
ically that it would be “forty years” be*
foro there would be a connection with
CincinnattL Perhaps the wish wa3 fa
ther to the thought. Oa the oontrary,
active measures are in progress for the
prosecution of the work from Lula to
Knoxville, and then North Carolina with
her convict labor will build to the State
line. It is true that all the links have
not yet been closed, but there is every
prospect that the whole line will be un
der contract ere long. Once completed,
who can estimate the effect npon Macon,
Brunswick and all tho intermediate
country, from terminus to terminus.
Then indeed will we have two indepecd,
ent routes to tho West and Northwest,
not antagonizing particularly, but caoh .
unlocking and transporting tho products
of a teeming territory, and pouting its
wealth tbrongh Macon to the seaboard
cities o! Georgia.
It is for these reasons that wo favor
tho Knoxville extension of tho Macon
and Brunswick Railroad and oppose the
movement to go to Atlanta.
Bless the Bulkheads.
Am will be seen by tho telegrams,
on Friday night, a moonlight excursion
by steamboat, on the Delaware river from
Chester, collided with a freight propeller-
The propeller sank at once, bnt her pas
sengers and men were eaved by the excur
sion boat. The bows of the latter were
stove in, and her forward bulkhead filled
immediately. Bnt bring built of iron,
>n water-tight compartments, she did not
lose enough of her buoyancy to sink like
the propeller. She still Hosted, and was
able to land the passengers of both boats*
comprising several hundreds, probably
in great part young people, without the
lcs3 of a single life. Bnt for the fact that
this steamer waa built with water-tight
compartments, here would have been
one of the most melancholy catas trophes
on record.
But tha extraordinary number and fre
quency of these ooliisioas of late, strikes
us with wondar. There are not many
days in which wa are not called upon to
chronicle one. At se3, in bays, channels*
rivers and harbera—they happen every
where. And yet all marina highways and
ports are far less crowded than they UBed
to ba twenty years ago, before steam craft
had, to such au extent, displaced sailing
vessels. The modern steamship does the
work o' ten or twenty sailing vessels of
the olden time. The stranger of mature
years who remembers the dense forest of
masts which in his youth astonished him in
New York, is now surprised at the little
showof shipping, when the commerce of
the city has vastly increased.
Thi oughout the world the number of
freighting and passenger crafts has de
creased, and yet collisions multiply be
yond measure. This may be due to the
increased.speed attained by steam; bat
then, it should be remembered, steam
gives vastly increased control of the ship.
The trnth is, the frequency of these col
lisions must be due to culpable careless
ness and recklessness.
Filth and Yellow Fever.
Our western contemporaries are giving
a loose rein to speonlation on the causes
and treatment of yellow fever, and the
general drift of oonclnsionB Is that noth'
ing certain has yet been ascertained, ex
cept a waste of ignorance and uncertain
ty on the sat j set. Even tbe efficacy of
oieanliness, as a preventive of infection
is now solemnly challenged, and the New
Orleans Democrat says there are many
able and distinguished physicians and sol'
enthts who do not believe that yellow fe
ver has any connection with filth, and
there are many journalists and other
thinking and observing men who believe
that the weight of evidenoe is on the side
of such pbyaioians and scientists. It is a
well known fact that one of the most fear
ful epidemics of yellow fever which ever
visited the earth prevailed among the
troops on the Beck of.Gibraltar, Another
terrible yellow fever epidemic scourged
Governor’s Island iu the harbor of New
Yoik.
Tima and again in New Orleans, in
Memphis and in other cities visited by
the pestilenoe, it has first broken out in
the cleanest and most arietooratio locali
ties. So general has this been tbe case
that when the fever was devastating the
towns and cities of Spain, a celebrated
Spanish physioian assumed that filth was
a preventive of the disease, and recom
mended that dead dogs, oats, etc., should
be scattered thiongh the streets cf the
scourged oities. Bering the epidemio of
1878, the fever made its appearance in
some of tbe cleanest and moBt elevated
towns in the Sonth. In short, there is
much evidenoe to show that the yellow fe
vor is an extremely aristcoratio pestilence,
that it shuns filth and delights to disport
itself in tbe cleanest and most elegant lo
calities and towns.
It is fortunate to be advised of the uses
of filth as a yellow fever preventive.
We were just about to say that ths course
of the disease so far, in 1879, sustained
the opinion that it woald amount simply
to a looal outbreak iu Memphis, due to
the pestilential condition of that place;
and tbat it tbo authorities would drive
out the population into camps, there
would be very little more of it. But if
filth is a good preventive, one i3 lost in
conjecture what might have happened in
Memphis this year had her rotten wood
en pavements been removed, and any
commonly received sanitary police and
conditions maintained.

A F ABM EE CANDIDATE FOB GOVERN

The canvass rages. Thera are three
candidates In the field: William J. White,
the candidate of the working men—rep
resenting the politics of Dennis Kearney
—or, the Chinese must go; George C.
Perkins, Republican, and Hugh J. Glenn,
a farmer of huge magnitude, who, as be
employs 500 Chinese, must necessarily
stand in bad odor with the KearneyiteB.
The San Francisco Chronicle describes
the farming operations of this condifate
as follows:
Dr. Glenn is a farmer of splendid
means, and to show how a candidate for
Governor farmB, wo add the following
description of harvest time on his estate:
The harvest time on the Glenn ranche
is spread over the whole summer and
part of the fall. It begins in the middle
of June and lasts until October. All
through this long period the headers are
plunging through the standing wheat
and ths threshers are thundering over
all their leagues of land. The seedings
begin about the middle of September,
lapping on to the harvest, and lasts till
April. Lest there should be a month of
idleness between seeding and harvest,
Providence has provided a haying season,
which fnrniBhes healthful industry for
the unoocupied period. Dr. Glenn has
this year 45,000 acres in wheat. “Peo
ple ask why I raise all wheat,” be says.
“The answer is simple: lb is the only
crop that will bear transportation; it is
the only crop not perishable. I must not
raise on my land what ruins me, but
what is profitable.” These 45,000 acres
were expected to yield 1,000,000 bnshels,
bnt some damaging northers reiuoed the
estimated yield bjlow 900,000. This
can be placed on tho river hank, ready
for transportation, for ninety cents per
bushel.
Thia vast amount of grain requires vast
applianoes for planting and bringing to a
point where it is accessible to the con
sumer. Daring harvest time there are
employed some 500 men. Thia small
army is officered as follows: Dr. Glenn is
general-in-chief of bis foroes. The ranch
is snbdivided, for convenience of opera
tions, into niue smaller ranches, each
with dwelling house, barns, blaoksmiths’
shops and other needed buildings. In
charge of these are 7 foremen, the lieu
tenants of Dr. Gleen. Under the fore
man are 16 blaoksmiths, 14 carpenters,
6 engineerr, 6 machinists, 5 commissaries
and numerous cooks and servants. The
common workmen, the rank and file of
the army, are divided into gangs, and de
tailed where thoy are needed—to the
reapers, the threshers, tho oteauera, eto.
These men, so effioered, manage a for
tune invested in the costliest kind of ma
chinery. There are ISO gang plows, 60
headers, to which belong 180 wagons, 6
cleaners, 100 harrows, 18 sesdeta, 6
threshers, 6 engines. Besides, there is a
countless number of smaller implements
and many vehicles that cannot well be
classified. Go-operating with their hu

It seems that our law givers.havingspot-
ted something amiss In the wild land officr
sniff corruption aud wickedness in all tbe

effeo 1 , at least, of keeping every official
on the gui viva and help to make better

pot terons tho idea of finding any rotten'
ness in the department of Dr. On, who,
by his most intimate friends, has been
dabbed “Soorates” for bis wisdom and
calm philosophy, and is eqoally entitled
to be called the Aristides of Georgia, for
surely no man was ever more “just” than
he.
It makes us smile to fauoy that dread
fal committee at work, searching the
pigeon holes of our old college friend for
seme damnable eelf-convicting document,
while his Lieutenant, Mark Johnston, as
pare and high-minded as any knight of
King Arthm’s Round Table or Spanish
Hidalgo, looks grimly on with daggers
flashing from his eyes. Oh, thi3 is rich
ness !
But what will the committee say when-
they fii-d that the Doctor, albeit he was
entitled to his traveling expenses when
making the rounds of Georgia in behalf
of the dearest interests of her people, re
fused to touoh a oent of the fund appro,
pnated to defray his expenses. Out of

Will they “impeach” him for this? It
would not be surprising, for such Roman
virtue is wordjrful in these ‘ latter day

to a committee of the Georgia Legisla

Tbe Lease of tbs M. & b. It, K.
Again.
Since penciling the article opposing
the extension of the M. & B. R. B. to
Atlanta, we learn that an effort waa made
in the Senate to strike out the clause iq
the bill which made it an imperative
condition,, that tbe lessee shall within
three years build to Atlanta.
So great, however, iB the prejudioe of
the average legislator against Hr. Wad-
ley and hia road, that the Senate refused
to rescind this obligation, and under the
operation of the previous question, the
bill ordering a lease of the road upon the
conditions prescribed was passed by a
vote of 30 yeas to 3 nays.
Well informed parties, however, con
eider this action as effectually killing off
both the sale and lease of the road, aa no
sensible capitalist would be willing to
pay $60,000 annually for three years, and
saddle himself with a further expense of
$2,000000 for the privilege of extending a
non-remunerative enterprise which would
make him poorer, instead of enriching
him.
In this connection, wo print aa follows
the views, just received, of a practical
and astute railroad man, fully corrobora
ting our opinions on the extension ques
tion :
Editors Telegraph and Messenger". I see
by the papers tnat there is an effort be
ing made in the Legislature to lease or
sell the Maoon and Brunswick road,
conpled with a condition that if leased
the lessees shall build a railroad to At
lanta and thereby acquire the right to
purchase tbe Macon and Brunswick rail
road for $1,000,000. Is that aid from the
State to build a road between Macon and
Atlanta parallel with a road built by
private means capable of doing all the
business that may offer for years to come
cheaply and expeditiously. If this is
true, then why build another road?
Why not aid the building of a road
from Maoon through Jones, Jasper,
Newton, Walton and Gwinnett counties
to a point on the Air Line railroad
some thirty to forty miles north of At
lanta, and about thirty miles south of
Lula, where, doubtles?, the road from
Knoxviilo via Babnn Gap, now about be
ing built, will intersect the Air Line, and
give Maoon an independent route to Lou
isville and Cincinnati by the completion
of about fi'ty-two miles from Kaoxville
to Livingston-, on the Lebanon brauoh of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
crossing the Cincinnati Southern, whioh
will give Maoon a short and good ronto
to bath Louisville and Cincinnati
through Knoxville.
It may be said that the ideas advanced
herein are eo far in the distant future
tbat they are unworthy of consideration.
That is a mistake, as tho writer is in
possession of trustworthy evidence that
the Louisville and Naehville railroad are
now arranging for oompleticg their toad
to a jucotion with ihe Knoxville and
Kentucky road in the shortest time that
money, men and energy can accomplish
it. That done and a track finished from
Maoon to the Air Line puts her on a great
through and independent line from the
sea to the great Northwest.

A Pennsylvania Prophet.
(.Washington Correspondent BslUmore Smi. j
Mr. Fisher, a Representative in tbe House
from Pennsylvania, aud acting chairman of
the republican congressional campaign com
mittee here. h&3 been interviewed on the
prospects of tbe fall elections. He feels
very anxions abont Maine, and would not be
surprised to seo the election for Governor
there thrown into the Legislature. Lost
year the repnblicins were short 1S,0U0 votes
of the necessary majority to elect. Bher«
man’s financial speeches, it seems, did not
oonnt for much. The canvass is being made
on tbe old wat issues alone. As for Ohio,
Mr. Fisher anticipates a certain viotory in
that State for the Beoublioins. There the
financial question leads in the oanvasB.
Pennsylvania ho looks for a walk over for
tbe Republicans. The revival of tho iron
trade and the general manufacturing busi
ness in that State, occuriag as it does while
tbo Republicans there are in power, gives a
grout advantage to tbat pirty. Mr. Fisher
-estimates that there are 60,000 more msn
at work in Pennsylvania this year than there
were last year, and thus far six million tons
more c ml has been produced this year than
was in the same period last year.
Au Ear lor Bells.
Rochester Express.]
D. P. Hicks, a young man residing in this
city, is endowed with a wonderful memory
for musical sounds somewhat akin to that
which distinguishes tho musical prodigy,
Blind Tom. Ihe only difference is that Mr.
Hicks goes no farther than to recognize
sounds wbich ho has once heard, while Blind
Tom not only recognizes th*m but is able to
reproduce them. Mr. Hicks’ specialty is
railroad locomotive bells, for which his ear
has an e.pecial fondness and with which he
is able to produce some curious experiments.
The sound of the loo emotive bell, onoe
heard, he distinctly remembers for any
length of time thereafter, and as each loco
motive has a number, ha ean tell ihe num
ber when he hears . the bell ring. There are
over five hundred locomotives running on
the Central Railroad, and ot these he has
been able to give tho numbers accurately
through h’s peculiar faculty. He has been
tested many times by perrons wbo were
struck by the feats thus accomplished by
his memory, aud not only proved that he
knew the different numbers of the locomo
tives from tbe sound of their bells, but could
also tel any two tbat rang in the same key.
Bells ot locomotives running on tha rood,
which he has not heard for yens, he instant
ly recognizes when they strike bis ear once
more, and whenever he hears a locomotive
whose number is over 500 he knows it at
once, as all the new locomotives ovtr tbat
number have bolls alike.

A bright looking mulatto boy was doing
the tonsorial act on a gentleman in ono of
the avenue sheps last week. The mulatto
artist was tip-toeing and going through the
movements whioh barbers only have—and
none of ui wonld let anybody else be so fa

tbo silence of his cua’omor. Feeling of tho

an overlooked bristle, tbe tonsorial tickler
ventured:
“ I see dey i? gotten ont da remains ob a

It was puffing, but tho customer had re-
solved not to saj a word. The mulatto boy

The commencement ball came off to
night. It was a most brilliant affair.
The reception of the Chancellor at his
residence was one of the moBt elegant
affairs ever witnessed in Athens. With
in a garden of flowers and a throng of
beauty, without, a burst of light from
hundreds of colored lanterns, and music
sweet as is seldom heard.
Tbe guests were entertained till a late
hour. The commencement this year
was the best for many years, and tha at
tendance by visitors from all parts of the
State large and appreciative.
There is no reason why our Universi
ty will not become the greatest in the
South, and it will become so if it is not
hampered by too much interferencs.
The hospitality of the people of Ath

but on this ocoasion they surpassed
themselves in kind attentions and flat
tering oourtesies.

Second Street Bridge.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I
notice a paragraph in a reoent isbuo, that
some of our citizens had enggeated the
change of name for Beoond street to that
of “Monnmental” street. I think if this
change should meet with popular favor,
would not “Monument” sound better
than “Mokumental”? But in this connec
tion there is something of more impor
tance to this street, as well as to the
whole business interests ot onr city, a
need long felt. Our present bridge over
the Oomnlgee river is too far removed
from the centre oE the city for any prac
tical purposes. We should have another
at the foot of Second street, or Mona*
ment street if you please, by whioh the
citizens of JoneB can more readily reach
the business centre of Macon. A good
iron bridge can be built and fully finished
for $15,COO at the outside. This is not
large sum for our real estate
owntra and merchants to raise.
Let the amount be subscribed
at once, farm a stook oompany, issuing
certificates of stock to all who subscribe,
they holding the same nntil the financial
oondition of our oity becomes in a good
aud sound oonditioo, which it will when
the funding Bill, now before the Legisla
ture, is in full operation. Then our city
fathers could redeem said stock by pur
chase of the bridge at its original oast,
npon a vote of the citizens, and even if
this wss never done the investment
wonld repay all tha property owners and
merchants in tho business oentre of Ma
oon.
Is it not as good a time as any to take
the matter in hand? Who, among car
enterprising business men, will consti
tute themselves a committee to see what
oan be raised towards this project of saoh
vital interest;? Lot the ball be put in
motion at once. We believe it oan be
accomplished. Citioish.
First New Bale.
The first bale of new oolton received in
Msoon reached the oity yesterday, and
was consigned to Messrs. English & Ha-
gaenin. It was from Messrs. J. M. R awl
& Co., of Arlington, and sold to Mr. J.
S. Cargill at twelve and a half cents pe
pjnnd. It waB classed as middling. It
was shipped by Mr. Cargill to the North
by tha Central road.
Though these first bales are generally
delusions and cheats, it will not be very
long before a few more bales maybe
looked for, though it will be some weeks
before the crop will begin to coma in in
any quantity. The reports as to the gen
eral condition of the crop reoeivedlast
evening give promise of a muoh better
yield of tho staple thau was expected.
Ns kerilet.
There will be no eervice held to-day in
the First Baptist Church. On and after
next Sabbath we learn that Dr. A. J.
Battle will fill the pulpit and take paB*
total care of the church temporarily un

Mr. Filmore Brown, the popular clerk
of the Brown House, left the oity last
evening for Atlanta, and while there wil
ba the guest of the Markham and Kim
ball Houses.
Serenade.
This office was farorpA last evening
with a particularly delightful serenade
from the old Central City Quartette*
composed of Messrs. Winter, Findlay*
Clancy and Price. Several b3&niiful bo
lections were rendered in an exquisite
manner, and the blending ot the voices
made melody of a rioh and rare type.
Mr. Winter has just returned from At
lanta where ho has formed business rela
tions of a pleasant and profitable nature.
C&M. Wnchtel Sc Bro.
Messrs. Cbas. Wachtel & Bro. present
some interesting reading to those desiring
new fall suite or famishing goods of any
d scription. They are well known in
Macon as energetic clothiers, and always
have on hand a well selected and assorted
stock. In furnishing goods they invaria
bly have the latest styles, and nay
“nobby” articles in their line can ba
found in their cases and on their shelves,
The fall stock will embrace all the new

Malicious Mischief.
Some boys of the oity have for the pas;
week or two been annoying the citizens
living near Tstaall Square by shooting
in that vicinity. The territory of the
oity is Ba extensive and the police force
small, and so it is not often that the offi
cers can patrol that portion of the city.
Emboldened by this fact, which very
nearly amounts to an immunity from ar
rest, tho boys have made the disobarge
of firearms particnlarly annoying to that
community. A day or two ainoe in the
discharge 4f a gun a fine cow, the prop,
•rty of Rev. James McBryde, was shot
in the neck with bird shot, and died soon
after from the effects of the wound.
Such carelessness amounts to malicious
mlsshlef.
