Tunneling tlie British Channel —An-
other Step Forward.
This is essentially the age of ma
terial progress as well as wonderful
inventions and enterprises. One of the
most remarkable projects now under
consideration by England and France
is the building of a tunnel under the
stormy waters of the Straits of Dover.
A bill for its accomplishment has
passed the British Parliament and the
French Assembly, and an early begin
ning of the gigantic project may be an
ticipated. The average width of the
British Channel is twenty-two miles,
and the depth of water from two to
twenty-nine fathoms. The stratifica
tion on both sides is chalk, and it is
said by learned geologists that long ago
what is now known as Dover Strait was
once an isthmus.
Commenting upon this magnificent
and costly undertaking, the Baltimore
Sun has grouped together some very
valuable and noteworthy facts with re
gard to enterprises of a similar charac
ter. We quote;
“ in Europe tunnels are a more com
mon feature upon railroads and canals
than in this country. One of the most
costly of all tunnels, and at the same
time probably the most useless, *s that
under the Thames river, between Wap-
ping and liotlierhithe, London. The
opposite banks are at that point but
1,000 feet apart. The work was com
menced on the Ilotherhithe shore 150
feet from the river. Various accidents
occurred during the course of con
struction by the water breaking in. It
was finally opened for foot passengers
in 1843, but it has not been found of
much practical benefit. The tunneling
of the channel seems far less practica
ble, but if accomplished must lead
to vastly greater results. After
the tunneling of Mont Cenis and
the successful construction of the
Suez canal, it docs not seem safe
to assert that there is anything
in the project of a channel tunnel which
civil engineering cannot accomplish.
The English journals speak confidently
of the success of the enterprise, found
ing their belief on the fact that the two
shores of the channel have the same
general geological formation, and that
on each side there have already been
made successful short tunnels under
the sea in pursuit of mining. One jour
nal remarks that other plans, such as
the building of jetties, rockworks with
viaducts, iron suspension bridge, me
tallic tunnels, submarine vessels, train
ferries, have been proposed; but the
subalveau tunnel seems to be the only
practicable plan for connecting the
coasts of England and France at pres
ent. On both shores the same steep
ness is observed; the same superposed
strata, with identical inclination, the
ones looking like the continuation of
the others; the same compact, calcare
ous, solid, homogeneous mass all over,
which forms the base of the ground of
a part of England and France.
‘Tn his treatise on the development
of mines, Mr. Prince, an English engi
neer, says that tho mines of Huel-
Cock, in the parish of St. Just, extend
under the sea for nearly five hundred
feet, and in some places only about
sixteen feet of rock stand between the
sea overhead and the roof of tho pas
sage below, so that the miners can dis
tinctly hear the waves breaking on the
shore aud tho rolling of the pebbles on
tho bottom of tho sea, which sounds
like the roaring of thunder, and strikes
the curious visitor with astonishment,
almost with terror. Infiltrations have
to be stopped sometimes, but that is
easily done by caulking the crevices
with oakum and cement. The sound
ings terminated in 18G8 show that on
both coasts there is a layer of white
chalk, then another one of marlaceous
chalk. The white chalk may bo per
meable and fissured, but the marly or
gray chalk seems to be free from such
a drawback. M. Belgrand, the inspec
tor general, avows that only plastic
soil is entirely free from fissures, but
ho says that gray chalk has the chances
in its favor, and the gallery wffi be
pierced through this material.”
We do not despair of the accomplish
ment of this prodigious experiment.
Enormous capital, aided by a science
which dares all things and has per
formed wonders, will make a success of
this project. The day is not very
distant when the locomotive will drag
trains under the restless waters divi
ding the laud of the Briton from the
land of the Gaul; and if any traveller
from one country to the other, as Mark
Twain expresses it, “throws up every
thing short of his immortal soul,’' it
will be because he choooes to do so, and
not because he could not have avoided
it.
The Herald.— The New York Herald,
of all papers in the world, is least
amenable to unfairness to different re
ligious sects; and yet it, ever and anon,
comes under the ban of widely diver
gent churches which apparently desire
the paper to espouse their side of the
controversy to the detriment of every
body else. The editor of the great
New York daily thinks it a hard case
that his efforts to deal fairly with all
denominations should have brought
him the good will of none of them; but
he distinctly states that he publishes a
journal for the people generally, and,
while duly appreciative of public pat
ronage, ho will not slavishly and fool
ishly seek it by pandering to the preju
dices of bigots and fanatics. Luckily,
he has the money and prestige to back
his views, and all fair-minded people
will applaud the stand ho makes
against a narrow prejudice and a ridic
ulous effervescence of too much zeal.
Pickett.— Gen. Geo. E. Pickett died
from abscess of the liver. Like many
other great men, worsted by war and
its results, he drifted into life insur
ance It is an odd thing that one of
the heroes of Gettysburg should have
to eke out subsistence by explaining
endowment and ten-year policies ; but
that was a great deal better than ia\ -
to sit at the cross-roads, like old
Bblisabius, and use his helmet for the
Reception of public alms.
Emigration to the South —A Northern
Invasion Predicted.
According to Mr. W. T. Hatch, of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, he has per
sonal cognizance of at least 10,000.
Nothern men who are very anxious to
move Southward, having experienced a
sovereign disgust with their present
abiding place. Mr. Hatch is very
anxious that these dissatisfied persons
should be encouraged to turn their
faces in this direction, and to that end
solicits the Southern press to furnish
him with explicit information regard
ing the soil, timber, society, schools,
churches, railroads, water, access to
markets, inducements to dairymen, gar
deners, stock raisers, fruit growers, &c.,
&c.; and particularly the price of lands,
terms on which they can be purchased,
and pre-eminently, the cordiality with
which Northern people will be received
and treated.
Now, if these would be-emigrants are
of the pauper class they had better re
main at home. The South does not
want them on any terms aud they would
not prosper by a change of locality. If
they are, however, men of substance,
it is passing strange that they have not
been able to procure all necessary in
formation for themselves or from the
vast armies of valetudinarians which an
nually invade this region and for whom
a literature of their own has been pre
pared and circulated, in every nook
and corner, by railway and other offi
cials. It is safe to say that emigrants
can enjoy in the South any variety
of climate or soil, all manner of schools
and churches, an abundance of rail
ways, farms at ridiculously low figures,
and 3ucli society as they deserve. For
our part, we have no faith in forcing
emigration. The right kind of settlers
will come Southward at the proper
time, and we will be all the better off if
a restless human tide should come iu
obedience to a law of the world’s gov
ernment, and not by inopportune de
velopment. Men with capital, large or
small, are welcome to the South, and
could no doubt better themselves by
removal. But when the Mayor of this
city finds it necessary to get rid of five
hundred paupers a year by shipping
them promptly over one line of railway
alone, we venture to say that neither
he nor anybody else has a consuming
desire for additions to that kind of
population.
Cotton Prospects.
An inundation of the Mississippi Val
ley, which seems to be a certainty, will
make men who calculate on the grow
ing cotton crop revise their figures. A
writer in the Atlanta Constitution, under
date of August Ist, estimates that 3,500,-
000 bales were as good as made al
ready, and that the probable yield
would be in the neighborhood of 4,500,-
000. Of course, this was written when
a flood iu the great valley of the Mis
sissippi was not seriously apprehended.
But now tho panorama has suddenly
changed, and we do not see, in tho face
of this pervading catastrophe, how
any such maximum figures can be
maintained. In spite of floods, we ap
prehend that enough cotton will be
made to supply the demand, but a
bloated yield is not likely, under pres
ent distressing circumstances. It is but
fair to the Constitution''s writer to state
■ that, in speculating as to the price of
tho staple, ho thus spoke : “It is likely
the future course of prices for cotton
may upset all calculations based on
tables and estimates of supply and de
mand. The present stock of cotton in
the world is something less than last
year and still the price is not only
lower —but unless there is some wide
spread disaster to the crop which cannot
now be foreseen —will continue to de
cline for several months until it touches
the lowest prices since the war. Then
it is possible, that with much more cot
ton iu sight than tho year before we
may see confidence restored and the
price be generally a rising one.”
From all accounts that unforseen
disaster is upon the planters of the
Southwest, and prices should stiffen if
they do not advance.
In this connection, and as the god
Aquarius, who “walks tho fenceless
fields of air,” has played so important
a part in blasting the fond hopes of
many of the agricultural community,
we append tho Constitution's record of
the rainfall for the month of July for
six years; also, for seven months, and
total for five years:

A. J. —The friends of Andrew John
son always insisted that there was a
grandeur in the simplicity of his char
acter. His enemies, or rather his criti
cal observers, contended that his sim
plicity was an affectation and a sham.
We very much fear the latter were
right. That burial with a United States
Hag theatrically wrapped about the
body, and a polluted Constitution in
his sepulchral grasp, strikes us as a
tawdry bit of demagogism even in the
grave. It will, alas! become a com
panion picture to that of the old
woman of fashion who, when about to
expire, addressed her maid thus :
“Come, Betty, on this cheek a little red;
One would not look a fright when one is
dead!”
But what could be more frightful
than artificial bloom upon the withered
cheek of extreme age, and how far re
moved from genuine simplicity is the
sketch wo have of Mr. Johnson in his
coffin! The late Maunsel B. Field
related how Lincoln’s face was touched
up, after death, by an artist; and,
good Republican as ho was, that
mockery saddened him amazingly. A
plain suit of clothes and a Bible, if
anything, in Iris hand would have made
Mr. Johnson a more pleasing spectacle
when robed for the tomb.

The Bible—lts Immense Circulation.
Now that the Sultan has permitted
the introduction of the Bible in his do
minions, we may look for an increased
circulation of the Good Book. Upon
this theme the New York Express fur
nishes some remarkable statistics. It
says “an immense work is done in the
dissemination of the Gospel by the
American Bible and various missionary
societies, but how small compared with
the British aud Foreign Bible Society,
whose annual report shows what an
immense Bible work has been done du
ring the present century. At the be
ginning of the century there were four
or five millions of copies of the sacred
volume in all the world, existing in
fifty different translations. Since the
establishment of tho British and For
eign Bible Society, nearly seventy-four
millions of copies of the Word of God,
in whole or in part, have been cir
culated from its depots alone*
and kindred societies have distrib
uted about fifty-three millions of
copies more; so that about 127
millions of copies of the Sacred
Scriptures, in whole or in part, have
been put into circulation by Bible soci
eties alono iu various parts of the
world. The number of languages and
dialects in which God’s Word is trans
lated has been raised from 50 to over
200, aud the number of versions of
Scriptures, in whole or in part, hitherto
prepared (there being sometimes more
than one version in the same language)
is about 2GO, the preparation of which
has been promoted, directly or indi
rectly, by the British and Foreign Bible
Society. In above thirty instances lan
guages have been, for the first time, re
duced to written form, in order to give
the people speaking them the Word of
God. Literary and scientific men, aud
j all who believe in the promotion of
knowledge, regardless of Bibles or mis
sionary labor, will at least appreciate
this part of the work done abroad.”
The Turks. —A Constantinople letter
to tho Boston Advertiser, treating of
the habits of the Turks, says “wine and
stimulants are forbidden in the Koran,
and coffee is the universal drink every
where. At all the scalas and steamboat
landings*on the Bosphorus nothing but
coffee—Turkish coffee—is to be had for
drink at the numerous restaurants that
line its banks. A party of English, re
turning from Egypt, spent a day in
Stamboul viewing the sights. They
told me thej’' made diligent search for
something to drink, but could not ob
tain even a glass of beer—nothing but
coffee. In Pera, on the opposite side
of the Horn, the European section, oc
casionally, though rarely, a restaurant
may be found where wines and liquors
are sold. This may, perhaps, be
counted for in part from the fact that
no one can sell without a license, aud
licenses are very high.”
The Turk has other virtues. Ho is
clean and honest, as a general thing.
What he gains by temperance in drink,
he may lose in excessive smoking and
the sensualities of the harem ; but it is
a matter of no small moment that lie
dees not get drunk on intoxicating
fluids and is proof against roguery.
WADE DOLTON’S LEGACIES.
The SIO,OOO lie Left the Widow of
Stonewall Jackson.
[Memphis Ledger.]
We published an item yesterday from
the Washington Gazette to the effect
that the legacy of SIO,OOO left by Wade
Bolton, of this city, to Stonewall Jack
son’s widow, was still held by the ex
ecutor and used for speculative pur
poses. We have since gathered some
facts in regard to the matter which arc
of interest to the public:
Wade Bolton was before the war a
wealthy negro trader, and became in
volved in a feud with the Dickens
family, which resulted from first to last
in seven or eight deaths. He expected
to go the same way and did. There
fore lie wrote with his own hand a very
remarkable will, making various lega
cies, not forgetting his old family
slaves, who still remained on his plant
ation. It provided that certain law
suits in which he was engaged should
be carried on to the bitter end, and cut
off all his relatives who took sides with
his enemies or failed to aid his suits all
in their power. Among other bequests
was SIO,OOO to Mrs. General Jackson, to
be paid when his estate should be
wound up. He named an executor,
who was not required to give bond, but
was charged with carrying out all the
provisions of his will.
He was killed in Court Square by Dr.
Dickens, his old partner, about the
year 1869, and soon after that Dr.
Dickens was killed by unknown per
sons a few miles from the city. And
thus ended the most bloody and re
markable vendetta of the Southwest.
Most of the particulars are yet fresh in
the public mind. Bolton stands sta
tuesquely and grim in Italian marble
on an eminence in Elmwood and his
suits go on in the courts. The Dickens
heirs have brought or rather continued
a very heavy claim against the Bolton
estate. It was decided once in the
lower courts, but appealed by them to
the Supreme Court, where it is now
pending.
The executor, we learn, has paid off
various legacies, some of them large
amounts, far exceeding Mrs. Jackson’s.
He paid her 85,000 on the 2Gth of Feb
ruary, 1872, but against the advice of
the lawyers retained by the Bolton
side. He also paid the smaller legacies
left to the negroes and to some other
persons in need. It seems that Mrs.
Jackson was to be paid when the estate
was wound up, This has not been done
and perhaps will not be for some years.
The incensed father arrived just in
time to grab her as she was stepping
on to the platform. John was already
In the cars arranging the traps and
bundles, and gloating in expectancy
over the sensation which the elope
ment would produce. Presently the
whistle shrieked, puff, puff, puff went
the smoke-stack of the locomotive, the
train started and the wretched young
man, leaning out of the window of the
car and gesticulating wildly at his
Amanda, was hurried rapidly away.
Two days afterwards he received from
her what she called the “tribute of a
bleeding heart.” It read as follows:
“Never mind, Jack. Oh, won’t I make
it hot for ’em here. I’ll give up crimps,
stays, bustles, striped stockings and
everything for your sake, Jack, and be
as ugly and sassy as I can.” This gave
him new hope, and ho went and en
listed in a soap factory.
