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 therefore assured.

The keeneyed old man, noticing the prank that had been played on him, quietly erased another letter, and left the following to he road by whom it might concern: ‘Profeasor Blackio regrets he is unable to-day to meet his asses!’ —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. An Editor's Tuavp.—A correspondent of tho Philadelphia Times writes from New town, Bucks county. Pa., that Gen. W. W. H. Davis, editor of tho Deylestown Denn- erat, some time ago lail out a day’s walk as follows: From Deyloetownto Newtoo, fif teen miles, before breakfast, refreshment and rest at the latter place; from Newtown to Davisville, seven mil:s. in time for din ner, to bo followed by a rest of several hoars; from Davisville to Doyleatown, eleven miles, in tho ooel of tho evening. True to annocce- ment, at 9 A. M. tho fine form and handsome countenance of the General appeared on Stato street, [Newtown. He was slightly flashed and looking remarkably well. His Btep was firm and rapid. The distance, fif teen miles, was aeccmplishod in three hears and a-half. Pausing for a moment, ho cn* torod Inio conversation with Mr. Joseph Harvey, la front of tbo letter’d residence. Horo a sudden dizzinees seized him, and he onnd it difficult to keep on his feet. At- etrpting to outer the home, ha fell on tho piazza and was carried in by some gentle men passing and laid on the sofa. Here he quickly revived and announced his determi nation to finish the jcurney, after resting. Frionds remonstrated without effect, and at ten a. M. the march was resumed. Tbo General stated to a friend who oiled upon im that bo was prostrated with the heat once before, during the Mexican war. HU undertaking in ths heat and duet was no slight feat "Whither are yon bound?” said John Moore as he stood in the door-way of his establishment and saw his old friend 8a* Rogers walking Bio viv past.

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 OR. 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.

But how pre- 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.

We shall see. 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. Georgian.

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. Flirting When the Southern Hotel Was In Flumes. St. Louis Times-Journai.) 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 miliar—when he evidently became pained at tbo silence of his cua’omor. Feeling of tho chin of tbo man ia the chiir, searching for an overlooked bristle, tbe tonsorial tickler ventured: “ I see dey i? gotten ont da remains ob a young woman in the BoutL’n—dot razoh don’t pull you. eah ?” It was puffing, but tho customer had re- solved not to saj a word. The mulatto boy strapped his razor oa tho palm of his hand. “ I know one woman in die ere world who owes her ’sistanco to a fl natation in dat ho tel on do night ob the Sail Yon face is ten- dab, hut de beard is tuff, sah.

This morning beamed bright and beau tiful, a fitting harbinger, we hope, of future of the young men, who will, in a few hours, be beyond the bar of Btudent life, fully embarked in the great ocean of life in earnest. The stage was crowded with the wise and great of Georgia, while the Chapel was filled to overflowing with a large and appreciative audience. Twelve Seniors spoke, Mr. Napier of Twiggs county, being exsused. * Their snbjeots were as follows: J, F. Parker, of Thomasville, “Compul sory Education.” C. B.

He is the man to satisfy the wants and ne cessities of the University, and if he is only left alone there can be no doubt of ths eventual success of the University. 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 ens has always been of State wide fame, but on this ocoasion they surpassed themselves in kind attentions and flat tering oourtesies. Carolyns. Bill Fuwl.

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.

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.
