MACON, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE Is, 1863.
Tunnelling ihe Alps—A KaiUoati
over the Simplon,
Ihe great engineering enterprise of tun
neliug the Alps has been some five years in
progress, and the distance penetrated, includ
ing ihe opperations on both sides, is oniy
(bum one mile, leaving eleven more to G
bored 1 But the calculation of Air Feil
the English Engineer who has this Alpine
work iu charge, are that, although he has
accomplished but one mile in five Vcare, he
will be able, by his improved machinery to
complete the remaining dint nee of fdeven
miles iu ten y'ears. The engines are worked
by compressed air, and there is no offensive
smell or danger of suffieation. The two rows
of irtrn pipes through which the air is forced
are seen for some distance by the road on
the Savoy side of the Alps. * Another pro
ject for crossing the Alps over the Simplon
has just been submitted to the Emperor of
the French. M. Lehaitreexibiteda model last
week in the Diana Gallery of the Tullieries
•»f his great project, showing all the grades
and .cuts and funnels and galleries of the
route. The whole line of the railroad over
the mountains from Douro d'Ossolu, in Italy
to Brigues, in the Valis, was introduced to
the Tullieries reduced to a scale of two
j thousand feet, The survey of this great
work was commenced on the first of August
last, and completed on the 7th.
About forty agents, divided into two bri
gades, one turning to the north and the oth
er to the south Alps, under the leadership
of two engineers, have during the four
months explored the mountain, aud traced
tue plan of the railway which is to pass over
rocks, cross torrents, fill up the valleys, gor
ges and precipices, before which science does
not hesitate. The stimulus ol having a
great work to accomplish has alone sustained
the picked men to whom the task wascoufid
ed. They set up shelters and encampments
in woods hitherto unexplored, carrying on
their bucks Beds, clothing and provisions as
they had often to live two or three leagues
fiom any dwelling. It was frequently nec
essary to lower by ropes down the precipices
the men who had to prepare the plans amid
empty space, and the snow and avalanches
more than once threatened to stop them
summarily in their work. The result has
been to put before the Emperor eighty kil
ometers of iron way in the Ilelectie Alps
forty-four of which will be covered over,
twenty-three iu tunnels and twenty-one in
galleries.. All tiicse passages arc ventilated
either by shafts for the tunnels or lateral j
openings, for the galleries. These openings,
cut at different points into arcades, have a
startling appearance. They are veritabel
promenades a thousand metres above the i
level of the sea, offering the same security :
as those of the Bue de Rivoli, which they
resemble, but presenting a more picturesque
and varied panorama. The execution of the
plan, according to the authors, would occupy
less than five years. At the end of this
month the complete project of crossing the
Alps by the Simplon will be officially sub
mitted to the governments of France, Italy
and Switzerland. The estimated cost of th’g
great project, including the fixed and rolling
material, the interest of the capital employ
ed, etc., is seventy two million trances.
And thus, while the skill and the capital
of America are tasked|aud taxed to the ut
most in the invention and use of thedmple
rnents aud engines of human destruction,
the science aud the wealth of Europe are more
wisely applied to promote the pleasant inter
course of nations and the general welfare of
man.—A r . Y. World.
ISriliiaiat Cx]iioit.
The following id reliable in reference to
Major Mosbv’s exploit:
On Sunday last, he captured and effect
ually destroyed a train on the O, A A. R. R,
consisting of an engine and twelve cars,
heavily laden with commissary stores. On
retiring, he encountered five regiments of
the enemy’s cavalry in a narrow lane in col
umn of fours, which he repulsed with great
slaughter, using canister from his mountain
howitzer at eighty yards and charging with
his cavalry. He estimates the enemy’s loss
at one hundred killed and a large number
wounded ; his loss three missing, one sup
posed to be mortally wounded. Still retir
ing, his rear guard taking the wrong road
at a fork, the enemy charged him and suc
ceeded in capturing the gun, after the last
round of ammunition had been fired, he car
rying oft’ the limber, the enemy pursuing no
farther.
The enemy at Bealtou, hearing this firing
in the rear, burned their commissary stores
and other supplies, broke up their camp,
sending their baggage and dismounted men
toward Falmouth, and hurried with their
available force in the direction of the firing.
The faregoing comes to us from a source
that makes it virtually “offi*i

<-d us that the enemy had destroyed a mil

was but a tew days ago that they ravaged
the county of Mathews in this State, and
while we write tidings come to us that
they are burning private houses and destroy
ing every grain of corn they can lay hands
on in the county of King and Queen.
Enough has been said of the barbarism
ot this mode of warfare and too much has
to be confessed of the entire impunity with
which it is carried on Our outcries and
our admissions of the weakness or the im
becility of our forces m the field but add tor
the hellish joy ot the foe, without stimula
ting troops, Government or people to the
pitch of retribute vengeance. The belt of
desolation widens hourly, nor is there much
prospect of an abatement of the evil. Citi
zens complain of the Government, which
in turn complains of the citizens. Mean
time common inquiry is made as to the ex
istence and present whereabouts of the or
ganized forces of the Confederacy.
We may be sure this state of things will
continue so long as the war is waged exclu
sively on Confederate soil Every day the
enemy remains in our territory will add to
the width of the belt of desolation, and they
who tanev themselves out of danger will
soon discover their mistake. If a thousand
Yankee cavalry can ride entirely through
the State of Mississippi, without molesta
tion, what is to hinder a like number from
going through Virginia, North and South
Carolina to Port Royal ? Certainly unarmed
and unorganized citizens will not hinder
them.
The belt ot desolation serves many pur
poses of the Yankee nation. It opens a way
to free labor and Northern settlers; it di
minishes production aud concentrates South
ern population within limits inadequate to I
their support. > G * n p i aoe f^ r y an . j

Thus it is a safeguard against invasion.—
If L'*e would advance, he'must move
through a desert, dragging immense trains
of food behind him. The case is the same
with Bragg, with Johnston, with Price. —
Jiideed, we hear that Price will on this ac
count find it difficult., if not impossible, to
enter Missouri Jn trout of all our large
armies lies a waae, where there is food for
neither man nor beast. Girded by a belt of
desolation, the North is safe from invassiou;
the border the belt the greater its security.
As the- months wane and the years roll on,
the Bouth, unless something be done, will
become, in the language of Scripture, “the
abomination of desolation;” We believe
that something will be done—the necessity
of the- case demands it imparatively; would
that we could be sure that it would be done

lips of the North drugged with ten-fold bit
terness. Mer<-y to ourselves demands this
act of retributive justice to them.

Mr. Editor : —On Thursday last, one of
the heaviest gales ever known in the month
of May was witnessed on the Gulf coast.
Tho wind blew very strong on Wednes
day from the northeast, rolling up dark and
lowering clouds, und iu the afternoon the
raiu decended in torrents from the heavens
1 he storm continued with increased violence
during the uight, blowing down timber,
shelters, and doing considerable ainouut of
damage to the crops in Florida. Thursday
morning the wiud suddenly shifted around to
the southeast, which in connection with the
heavy spring tide, drove the surging waters
of the gulf with great forco out over tho
country tor miles, sweeping every moving
object before it, and doing almost an incal
culable amount of damage to the Salt
\\ orks. r l be struggle for life, as there were
thousands on the coast engaged in the tnanu
iacture of salt, judging from the description
given by eye-witnesses I imagine was
similar to that of the ante-deluvians, when
the great waters were prevailing upon the
bosom ot the earth. Houses, mules and
oxen, could be seen wading and swimmini r
in every direction, some loose, others
with one and two men astride them, endeav
oring to find a place of salety from tk? tur
bulent waters ot the mighty deep, while ac
oasionally you would see a group of some
hail a dozen negroes or more, drenched with
rain, and the waters ot the swelling hood
standing upon the top ot some elevated spot,
waiting with great anxiety for the abating
of the waters; but they did not ail
for it is supposed that there were two hun
dred lives lost, and about seventy-five thou
sand bushels ot salt destroyed upon the
; whole coast, i learned from Mr. Gipson, of
i Lowndes, Georgia, who wae at Newport at
j the time ol the gale, that six men were
! drowned on East river, and a large number
of mules ; he further informed me thjjf the
joss of salt on East river, Goose creek and
other places around St. Marks, was estima
ted at fifteen thousand bushel; besides,
there were heavy losses in tho destruction
ot furnaces and other property; some had
as much as five hundred bushels on hand,
which required months of hard labor and
toil to accumulate, but it was all swept away
in a single day. Thu result was, salt went
r ■ -G fmp; * viehe to twenty dol
lars per bushel, it win taue weens tu mum
new furnaces,dig new wells,and put the works
in successful operation, again, but notwith
standing these disasters, judging from the
number in process of construction, with rigid
economy on the part of the people, 1 be
iieve salt enough will yet be made to save
the pork killed in the Oonfederacy.

The Storm in the Gulf. —A Tallahassee
correspondent of the Charleston Courier
gives an account of the late storm. lie says;
Chimneys were blown down and many out
buildings were unroofed, while others sus
tained injury by falling trees. At Newport
the St. Marks river rose to a great height;
the water was for a long time near tour feet
deep iu the streets of the town, and as a
greater portion of the residences arc situated
low, consequently tLe waiter was over the
first floors of the first story, and ibe families
were compelled to seek comfort in the secoud
story. Large quantities of drift wood aud fal
len trees were driven in the town by the storm
carrying away pillars from piazzas, breaking
up steps aud doing other damage. The gar
dens were all destroyed.
The salt makers have arrived in this city
safe. They.give a melancholy account of
the storm on the coast among the saltworks.
They report that the wind hauled round to
the Southwest, the water commenced to rise
with great rapidity, so much so that it was
found impossible to save what property they
had, and their loss seems heavy, It is very
distressing to state that five white men (names
unknown,) one white boy named Brooks,
and seven negro men, were drowned. Ail
the furnaces were destroyed, and the boilers
thrown about in great confusion, their houses
tents and boats were blown away and lost.—
It was carefully estimated that forty thou
sand bushels of salt were destroyed, There
were thirty five mules and eight oxen drown
ed, and a large quantity of forage and pro
visions lost. The Augusta salt works lost
815,000. . i
They report that the blockading fleet rais
ed steam and put to sea. At St. Marks nc
serious damage was done to the railroad and
warehouses. At Fort St. Marks our troops
lost all their tents and a large quantity of
provisions. The water in the Fort was £v#
feet deep, and I regret to say that the lasi is
Jreat and mUth damage dofli to the Fort.**

with the ordinary appliance of party vindic

watched and tracked for the purpose of en
trapping him, and that the spies were effi

notion of the freedom of the subject, that
we can hardly conceive how a people, of late

Tli« Storm.
Some planters inform us that the effect of
the storm of last week, spoken of in our last,
will not be so disastrous to their crops a
they first anticipeted. The Stnfinrl ■■ u
mates the damage at 20 per cent.
From the coast the worst anticipations
are fully realized. The destruction of life
was awful. From the Salt works on East
river to Puenifoy’s Landing, a distance not
exceeding 25 or thirty miles we hear of thir
ty-two bodies having been recovered and
burned. A large number of mules and ox
en were also destroyed. The mules wen
tied to the trees, and cousequent'y could
not swim away. At all the works the salt
on hand was destroyed, and the works more
or less injured. The owners, in most cases,
have commenced repairing the damage.—
Some estimate the loss of property in that
section we havo mentioned above at 850,-
000, wo think it is more. We have not
heard from the coast East, of East river and
West of James Island.— Floridian, June t>.
The French in .Hexico.
The following letter,pulished in the North
ern papers, is said to be from a very high
authority at Vera Cruz. It is dated May 1
We have news from Puebla as late as the
21st of April. The accounts are of great
interest and importance. Briefly stated, tbc
situation is as follows :
On the 12th of March, the French arrived
before the city of Puebla with about 20,000
| effective men. On the l?tb, they attacked
the “Plazuela de San Javier," and after a
severe bombardment, which lasted several
days, they succeeded in breeching, entering
and occupying two blocks or squares. Af
ter three days' hard fighting, the Mexicans
succeeded in destroying these blocks, driving
th? French completely from the city,
On the 12 th of April the French made a
second attack on the “Plazuela de Carman,"
and after forty hours’ continuous fightiDg,
during which the French were three several
times driven back, they retired to the “Car-'
rode San Juan," leaving a large number of
prisoners in the hands of the sleiioans, in
cluding one company of Zouaves entire.
