3• - CONSTITUTIONALIST WEDNESDAY, August 4. 1875. 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: 1870 1871. 1872. 1873. 1874. 1875. No. days on which rain fell 10 5 14 9 9 8 Inches of rain for July 2.25 1.12 3.91 3.87 4.70 3.84 For seven months.

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. j i. There is a horse in Jackson, Mich., that is 51 years old. He was foaled in Clarence, Erie Cos., N. Y., in 1824, and his name is Romp. He hasn’t a single puff or windgall on his legs, and does a good day’s work every day. 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. — Brooks county statistics foot up 31,- 193 acres of grain, 264 in sugar cane, 4,052 in ground peas, 614 in sweet pota toes, 13,114 peach and apple trees. 1,332 horses and mules, 374 oxen, 8,990 head of cattle and 10,759 hogs.
