Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Jn your issue of the 12th initaat appears an anonymous rommuni-atic-a. purporting to be written from this place by some party who subscribes himself “Justice"—a word which evidently exists more as a nom de plume than in the utterances of the gen tleman referred to. With the people of this county the question of the extension of the railroad from Albany to Blakely is one of vital im portance-one that rises above the petty wranglings of distempered individuals: stock is driven to the stalls. The ya and calmly addresses itself as a question can accommodate 400 head of horses an of interest to both road aad people.

More Currency l'or tlic South. Mr. John Jay Knox, Comptroller of the Currency, reports that it is probable that all the national hanks that have applied for currency will shortly deposit their bonds and obtain their circulation under the recent call. A letter from Washing ton further reports Mr. Knox a. follows: “He believes that the whole of the cir culation authorized by the act of July 12 1870, will l>e itaued before the meeting of Congress, whereupon he will make requi sition upon the eastern lank* for the withdrawal of $25,000,000 of their cur rency. to he distributed in the Western and Southern States, as provided by this act. He considers the provision in the law relative to this withdrawal as manda tory upon him, and not discretionary, turd that the requisition of the eastern bonks will plarn the currency question under thdt law in such condition that Congress will take immediate action upon the sub ject, either by repealing the fith section of the act, or by passing a law author ising the issue of an lulditioual $25,000,- 000 for the YVest and South, as proposed in his lust report, or by both." True Charity. Some four or five weeks ago n woman employed at the shirt factory of C. C. Davies A Co., in New Haven, had the entire uealp and part of one oar torn from her head by her hair Incoming entangled in some machinery. Though dreadfully mutilated and suffering horribly, the snr. goons think her Ufa may yet be saved, if a sufficient number of persons can be found who will consent to contribute a small portion of their own cuticle for transference to her scull. A number of them liuve already done so, and the trans planted skin is doing well, ami growing finely in its now bed.

With a surprising delicacy of manipula tion one of the surgeons segregates a bit of the desired commodity not larger than a half dime from the benevolent person's arm, no blood being drawn.

The exact history of the enginandpro gress of the Blakely Extension would oc cupy too much of your valuable sn be given here. Suffice it to say tl contract was ever made by the people of this county with either the Central or Southwestern railroad to procure the road to this point. The extension ■ was com menced through the private ont.-rprise of Messrs. Maxwell A Co., and'it was these gentlemen whom the people proposed t8 assist and to whom they looked in the matter for its completion. Max well A Co. undertook the work for a speci fied and well settled sum to be paid them by the Central railroad in it3 own stock at par value. The difference between the par and market value of which was what the people proposed to make good to Maxwell A Co. This is usually under stood. Until recently the Central road and the people of' Early county have been, in a business sense, unknown to each other. Under the terms of the con tract between Maxwell A Co. and our people, one-half the amount of subscrip tion was to have been paid when twenty- five miles of the road should have been completed—the remaining half when it abould reach the west bank of Spring creek—distant nine miles from this place. The first payment has never '••-on load'—the second hqa ,-nmrA The Grand Collapse—Two Bnl- loonatics Explain It—One of them Thankful for the ‘‘Break.” . The New York San of Saturday has a long account of the collapse of the big balloon and various explanations by men learned in the law of balloons, why it oc curred. Prof. Steiner who had charge of the inflation said: “All day long,” he said. “I had grave doubts of the ability of the bag to stand the pressure. But' I kept on inflating, knowing that, should she stand the strain while held to the gram 1, -he wanld' be safe enough wh< a fl-rating in the aixand relk-ved of tay great resistance to the lifting power of the gas. You must re member that the upward pressureon the crown of that balloon was equal to forty- seven thousand pounds. Little of this tremendous force was distributed over the sides, but it ail lifted like a solid column against the valve and the cloth around it. Although that-, part of the lxrg was strengthened by two extra thickness is of muslin, it gave way, starting close to the frame of the valve on three sides and tearing down as the giu rushed through tiio openings. Jo muslin' balloon of 'a like^sirc n§ evtm been inflated, and I do not helievo that one will ever be. YYise and myself once planned an air trip to Europe, but split on this _point of using the cotton balloon. In rny opinion, the only kind of balloon of that size that can he inflated must be made of silk, with a strong canvass covering in the place of a netting," FAULTS AND MERITS OF THE TORN BAL fallen due. If our. people need tui excuse for the failure to make this first payment they find it in the fact that, owing to tho stringency of the money market, they were never called upon—that tho contract of subscription was based upon the fundamental idea that the road must be assured to Blakely —and that report—frequent reports— that the work would be suspended at Arlington had tho natural effect of dis couraging us. Should Maxwell A Co. need an excuse for failing to complete the ''^extension.” 'they'fifid'it in tHo -fact of* their inability so to do—a fact so univers ally acknowledged that no one has thonght of attaching blame to them. Finally, we come to the assertion of “Justice,” that our people—our business men—are fretting, fuming and even curs ing the names of the Central and South western railroads. If such be the ease, we are all indebted to “Justice” for the valuable information. \ r iewing it as we do, it woold ly strange indeed v art a'sen sible people cofrld “curse and fume” people notes were of au injurious nature, and i would be likolv to injure the character of j ® ~^ 1 ' n * y ' . , ,, lady if made public.

It would have beefa safe if once got into the air. In my opinion, how ever, it was too heavy. It had three, thick coats of oily varnish, and'was dried in the sun, which caused an undue ab sorption of the coating. lYhy, it weighed forty-seven thousand pounds, and all that weight was virtually .hanging down on the crown, because there all the strain came. > It*hoald have Iiad two coats of tliinner varnish, and been dried slowly under cover. Some of the sections were discolored by rain, anti flint would tend to mellow the material. Whether it did or not I cannot say, but I do not think that rottenness caused the break. The netting was made of lumd ;md poor mar line, knotted at every mesh. These knots would tend to chafe and wear the cloth. The netting should have been of pliant, soft rope.. Ir this case it broke in several places, from the pulling of the sand bags; but hot onodgh to cause any alarm. No more favorable weather could have been had, and a brisk wind would have ended t'ae matter four hours earlier. The bag would have stool sixty per cent more pressure if it had not been weighed down with oil. I think tile material was good, and the sowing well done.” PROF. WISE on THE COLLAPSE.

McCook, Secretary of Da kota, and P. P. Wintermute, a broker of this city, in a billiard parlor of the Sfc. Charles Hotel, during which Wintermute used insulting language, which was promptly resented by the General, who gave Wintermute a thrashing. The Gen eral thtftn went to bis rdom. Wintermute, washing blood from his face, remarked to the .bystanders that McCook could whip him, but that he (Wintermute) would shoot him, and immediately went five blocks, got a"p*stol, and returned. 1 A ‘ railriSda meeting was in session in the hotel at the time Wintermute entered the assembly. McCook, unaware of his presence, alscr entered the room, when Wintermute raised and, approaching, fired his pistol, the shot taking effect in the left breast. The General grappled with bin assassin, and a second shot was fired, when Wintermute was thrown to the floor. During the struggle two more shots were fired, one of which slightly wounded a bystander. Only one shot took effect, which proved fatal. The Gen eral lingered until seven o’clock this morning, when he expired. He was fully conscious to the last, and died like a brave man.

Further from the Sinking of the Iron sides. Chicago, September 1G.—A special dis patch from Grand Haven, Michigan, gives the fob owing account of tho foundering of the propeller Ironsides off that port; N. B. Watkins, clerk of the boat, says, “we left Milwaukee at 9:40 o’clock Sun day night, with nineteen*passengers and a crew of thirty men, and were due in Grand Haven between five and six o’clock Monday morning. The cargo consisted of thirteen thousand bushels of wheat, five hundred barreiiof flour, one hundred and twenty-five barrels of pork, and some miscellaneous articles. This was a very large cargo since the boat could only car ry eleven hundred tons. A moderate breeze was blowing from the southwest, which constantly increased until it became a terrific gale.before day. I did not get up before 9 o*clock, when the boat was roiling fearfully. I went immediately below and found the men working at the pumps. Water had already put ont the fires, and the engines were useless. I then went to the office and got the passenger’s register, the money and manifests, and went on the hurricane deck, where I found Captain Sweetman getting the foresail in. He was perfectly self-possessed, and the men obeyed his orders promptly. We were then about three mites from shore. The signal of distress had been raised at 9:30. About 10 o*clock the passengers all put on ' over the Upper Lake region with brisk doses for which they were enacted. They have not diminished the evils which they were designed to destroy; but they have brought with them or in attempting to enforce them, a train of attendant evils which have disgraced the administration of justice, and havo tended to corrupt the public morals. Some other method pro moting by legislation the cause of tem perance should at least be tried. Thi6 cause is too high and noble iu its charac ter and in ite purpo » to attempt to ?x>r- row any aid from injustice, pjutiajity or corruption.” _ ( Pharmaceutical ColTWMMk Richmond, September 1G.—The twenty- first annual session of the American Pharmaceutical Association commenced in this city to-day.
