Captain Hueo, United States enginejr

during the latter part of Jaiy of this year.
These figures aro highly encouraging to
those who aro looking to direct foreign

. sources to the problem of giving New Or
leans a deep-water outlet to tho sea. Fur
thermore it is shown that tho points in tho
bed of South Pass, above tho jetties, at
which tho least depth—twonty-soven feet—
exists, constitute a very small part of tho
lied of the channel, being, in fact, more
■piras of mud, which conld cosily be cut

We btflievc tho esteemed Constitution,
published in Atlauta, was strongly of the
opinion that Senate* Bayard w#s not tho

Honthern Prosperity.
It la gratifying to observe that of late tbe
Southern States are winning a new repu
tation. We have ceased to be a country
of ruined hopes and broken down enter
prises, and are beginning to figure, on tbe
cards of great projectors, as the place for
enterprise and outlay. Reginning, we
say. Jay Gould bas been operating in
tbe South and Southwest for a year, and
latterly we have the assurance of Van
derbilt that the Sooth and West are
the places for investment in great trans
portation enterprises . Both are shaping
their action to concentrate traffic and pro
duce at New Orleans, and evidently aban-
don'ng tbe old persistent idea that the
American continent must necessarily
empty itself by Eastern and Western
Uses into tbe .Atlantic.
Gould's idea of an immense transporta
tion scheme which shall concentrate the
produce of the Pacific coast by tbe South
ern Pacific railway in tbe great gulf port,
and tbe immense harvests of the Missis
sippi river valley by his barge line, at
New Orleans, is worthy of that daring
and indefatigable mind. If, as is said, at
least "5 per cent, of tbe produce of Amer
ica will follow these routes to market
there is no telling what a business in
transportation will here be concentrated,
and we can well understand upon what
views of the situation Mr. Vanderbilt’a
opinion before alluded to was founded.
The Third Term.
General Grant assures his friends that
he has relinquished all idea of running
a third race for the Presidency, and by
way of impressing people with the sincer
ity of this resolution, he Ls evidently one
of the most active men in tbe country in
the matter of official appointments. Why
should he be so busy in behalf of General
Tyner and Mr. Brady? If they are as
innocent of wrong as he professes to be
lieve, surely he can trnst their vindication
to the courts of the country. Why, simulta
neously with the activity of Gen. Grant in
Washington, should Postmaster-General
Key make his appearance in Washington
to plead for Tyner and Brady, and why
should other notorious members of tbe
ring be continually turning up at the na
tional capital? Is Grant’s assurance that
he is not going to ran again rendered nec
essary by these facts?
A Southerner 1 * Call on Jfr. Blanc,
Secretary Blaine was recently called on
in Washington by Mr. Cogin, a prominent
cilizon of Augusta, tia., upon whom be
made a decidedly agreeable Impression.
He was informed by Mr. Blaine that the
last talk he and President Garfield bad
together was in reference to the complete
reconciliation of the two sections. But
at any rate there would be no more of the
old bitterness. The death of the late Pres
ident and the universal grief over the
whole Union making a common bond had
settled that forever. Mr. Blaine declared
that he was out of politics, so far as office
was concerned. He showed much Inter
est in Southern enterprises, particularly
in manufactories in Augusta, Geor
gia, about which he seemed to baTe
a thorough knowledge. Ho has already
a large amount invested In coal, iron and
gold enterprises at the South, and express
ed an intention to make a tour of the
South the coming winter.

Washington Post gets the tollowing fiorn
Captain B. L. Gratis, of tbe Thirteenth
New York Veteran Association:
*TIow about tbe trouble at Richmond;
Captain?”
“Well, sir, there was trouble there. It
took place on Monday upon the arrival ol'
the Ninth Massachusetts Regiment. Our
men on arriving at Richmond were re
ceived by the First Virginia Regiment,
and we were treated elegantly. The
bouses of tbe city were thrown open to us
and the ladies furnished us with coffee
and luncheon. The the action of the
Ninth Massachusetts men was disgust
ing.”
“Why did they do?”
“They threw their arms about the ladies
upon tbe streets, took possession of the
bar rooms and helped themselves. They
killed a pig in public and behaved other
wise outrageously, notwithstanding the
romonstrauccs of General Fitzlmgh Lee.
The Richmond authorities were all at
Yorktown.”
Hunting tor Submerged Wealth
A recent telegram to the New York
World from Wilmington, Delaware,
dated last Saturday, says that the Inter
national Submarine Diving Company,
organized two years ago by capitalists in
Philadelphia to search for the Debraok,
an English sloop-of-war which foundered
in a storm off Lewes, this State, June 10,
1708, bas discovered evidences of tbe
missing vessel. According to papers in
possession of Samuel S. McCracken,
pilot, whose grandfather was tbe only
survivor and who was engaged In pilot
ing tho vessel into hsrbor, about fifty-
two millions of specie and jewels went
down with her. The money was taken
by tho Debraok from an intercepted
Spanish fleet while on her way to Hali
fax, England, from a successful cruise on
the Spanish main. With the specie two
hundred prisoners were taken. When
the vessel fouudered the prisoners were
in irons on the lower deck and were all
lost. Captain James Drew, who com
manded the vessci and whose body was
recovered two days following, lies buried
in St. Peter's churchyard at Lewes. Two
years after tho wreck tho British Govern
ment sent two frigates to raise the De<
braak, but without success. McCracken
says that the Debraak lies iu fifteen fath
oms of water. The divers found a long,
irregular ridge, about fifteen feet higli,
eighteen feet wide and sixty feet long.
On each side are piles of loose stone, sup
posed to be the ballast throwu from tbe
frigates in the effort to raise the wreck in
1600. Rough weather interfering with
farther operations, tho company was
compelled to postpone tho search, and on
Wednesday the (livers returned to Phila
delphia. The work, however, will be
vigorously pushed forward as soon as
favorable weather sets in.

Ninety autes nn Hoar.
Tbe Philadelphia Record ot tbe 25th
says the Fontaine engine, which Is ex
pected to draw trains over tbe Pennsyl
vania railroad with the speed of the wind,
arrived in this city yesterday. It was
bnilt InPatterson, N. J., and is the second
of its class ever made. The machinery
and main driving wheels are on top of the
boiler, and power is imparted by friction
to the driving wheels that rest on the
track. Tbe first pair of drivers are six
feet tn diameter, and are balanced over
the middle of the boiler so as to receive
nearly the entire weight of the engine.
They rest on a pair of friction wheels four
feet in diameter, and by this means tbe
engine can be propelled at the rate of
ninety miles an hour while the piston-rod
is running the upper wheels only sixty
miles per hour. The first engine of this
pattern was bnilt some months ago, and
ran 111 miles in ninety-eight minutes,
stopping once for water. To prove its
capacity (or hauling heavy trains tho en
gine was given a load of thirty-five box
cars, which it moved at the rate of twenty
miles an hour. Engine No. 2 will leave
for Harrisburg this morning, where a
thorough test of its qualities will be made
hauling trains from that city to Altoona
Small v». Xante Farming.
An interesting problem is discussed In
tbe following from the Baltimore Sun, to
which we invite the reader’s attention:
It is not a little striking to hear, at a
time when “small farming” is being urged
npon the booth as the perfection of econ
omic wisdom, tbe growing note of com-
£ taint coming from the West that "small
inning does not pay” in competition with
the large farming which, since the war, bas
began to prevail in that section. “Can the
small farmer of a hundred acres,” it is
asked, “battle succession? with the great
farmer, the owner of thousands of acres ?”
The answer supplied by a writer in The
North and Booth is in the negative, and is
worth reproduction, as showing that the
formation of large plantations in the South
before the war, like tbe existence of large
estates in England, Ireland, Rnssia, and
other countries where land is a great inter
est, is due to the same general causes
which bring abont the consolidation of
railroads, gas companies, oil companies
and telegraph lines. After premising that
the difficulties with which tho small fanner
of the West lias to contend are distance
from market, tbe Email intrinsic value of
his product, and tbe rivalry of the “great
farmer,” who, from doing a large basi
nets, gets his freight carried for tho lowest
possible figure and buys everything at
wholesale prices, The North and South goes
on to say, with incisive warmth: “The great
farmer of the West is usually no farmer at
all, but a manufacturer, who goes about ihe
raising of grain os he would about the
weaving of cotton. Living luxuriously in
Chicago or some other wealthy city, and
removed from all personal contact with
tbe human machines who are hired to do
the manual work on his lands, he manages
his vast estates on strictly business princi
ples, and turns his millions over and over
in a manner very- comfortable to himself
from season to season, growing richer and
richer every year. Now, ‘strictly business
principles’ demand the most rigid economy
in every department. Labor must be ob
tained at the cheapest possible figure and
disposed of us soon os tbe services are no
longer needed. So the big ‘farmer’ en
gages an army of cheap workmen in the
spring, and after tho crops are all gar
nered in the fail ho tnrus them out to
tramp and starvo in the winter, living in
poor-houses and penitentiaries at the cost
of the tax-payei, until the following spring,
when they are sure of another job. Thus
the big ‘farmer’ shares his expenses with bis
neighbors and adds materially to his own
profits.” It will appear from this descrip
tion that the West is at length undergoii
the change in land tenure which tlio Bon
underwent many years ago, end from sim
itar causes. The cotton, cane and rice
farms ot the South produced an exporta
ble crop commanding good cash prices
abroad, as the wheat, corn and oats crops
of tlio West and Northwest have more re
cently done, nnd heuce tho growth of the
large farms, as tbe lurgcr scale on which
business is done—provided it bo well
managed—the more profitable it is usually
found to be. It may be inferred, therefore,
that the large farm is tho one which enter
prising men will prefer, and that the
“small farm” marks an industrial commu
nity in which little is produced for the for
eign market. The small farmor os a social
and political unit is a desirable citizen in
every State, and is, perhaps, preferable to
tho largo capitalist farmer described
above, but he produces little beyond what
he biinseif consumes, and contributes but
little to trado. He is apt to lag behind in
the race of modern progress. The intro
duction of new agricultural implements,
new crops and now and scientific methods
of cropping, demands the large capital of
tho man ot many acres. Tho last census
indicates a doubling of tho number of
farms in tho South a fact upon which that
section inigbt.congratuiate itself if it indi
cated h proportional increase in the num
ber of citizens having “a stake in the
country,” but not so pleasant to contem
plate if we consider it a sign of unproduc
tive farming, due to want of capital and
lack of efficient labor. A writer in a re
cent number of Harper’s Magazine, him
self a Georgian, asserts that tbe process of
“bunching muny small furms into' a few
large ones,”nos begun again within the.
themselves and for the country than
such gigantic speculative establishments,
with an absentee proprietary and a little
population of men laborers.
The Great River Convention.
There is but one Mississippi riverin the
United States, and its demands npon the
people for preservation are whollyjlncom-
parable. They comprehend not only the
internal trade of the country, but the
maintenance of Us agriculture and its
health, the rescue and preservation of im
mense areas of our richest land, which are
year by year lost by being submerged and
converted into miasmatic bogs and
swamps, or into some new deviation of a
crooked and ever varying channel.
Surely a people who, with unlimited
means, will fold their hands and idly pei-
mit such a vast property as the Mississip
pi river to ran to waste and rain are not
entitled to its ownership.
In Mr. Jefferson’s time the acquisition
of the month of this great river was valued
at twelve millions of dollars, when it was
without trade and its ultimate capacity
unconsidered. But it was pronounced the
great highway for the productions of the
continent, and nobody would have chal
lenged a much larger expenditure to se
cure possession of it. Since thst grand
national recognition of tbe continental
character and value of this stream, it has
always stood by itself in popular estima
tion.
And yet what bas been done for the Mis
sissippi? We may say with truth nothing.
And this, too, when every intelligent mind
must see that a proper and skillful engin
eering will seenre land of far greater value
than the cost of tbe undertaking, so that,
large as the enterprise may be considered,
it is commended to popular favor by every
consideration of a sound economy.
But at last a convention is called to
promote the scheme ot improvement, and
its first act is a practically deadly blow at
the undertaking. The rectification and
deepening of the channel of the Mississippi
Is a great work—quite large enough to cov
et the whole of any such scheme; but tbe
convention probably adds to it “the im
provement of all its navigable branches.”
By this single amendment it places this
grand scheme on a par with the thousand
and one nver and harbor projects which
are tbe offspring of a greed for pnblic
plunder. Such a resolution is well cal
culated to kill the enterprise, by concen
trating pnblic patriotism and economy
against it. Will It not be time enough
to look after the “navigable tributaries ot
the Missisrlppi” when tbe main stream
has been secured? Why distract the
government with numberless enterprises;
when the great one which will give effi
ciency to tho whole will demand its ut
most ene:gies for years? If tho country
wants the Mississippi improved and made
safe that single project, and that alone,
should concentrate the national efforts
until it is accomplished.

The unanimous action of the Senate to
day, at tho instanoe of a Repubican Sena

conld elect its caucus nominee without tbe
aid of Judge Davis, and he bad expressed
himself in tbe most decided terms in favor
of the appointment of the chief clerk. Mr.

beings: For a grown person four drops
of sulphurous acid diluted in three-quar

dose for children. The effect of ibis
treatment is instantaneous, the acid at

818 bales, which added to 177,112 bales’
deficit reported last Friday by tbo New

from the two months’ receipts last year to

ot a new condition of things iu tbe South
iu which farming pays.
In Georgia there is no indication of a
disposition to revert to large farms—nor
was there ever, iu the Southern States,
anything like the gigantic mercantile
farming operations which aro found in
tbe West, where the immense bodies of rich
prairie lauds and the grain culture induce
large operations which the stumpy lands
and cotton culture of tbe South forbid.
True, we had large planters, but they
divided their forces on different farms,
putting on each from lotty to eighty hands,
and always held that number to be the
limit of profitable culture by tbe single
gang, because tbe labor was a kind of
garden culture necdiDg constant and close
supervision.
A township of wheat on a Western
prairie turned up with Improved ploughs,
seeded by machines and harvested by tbo
Improved reaper,could be better cultivated
than ten-acres with the ordinary supply
of implements.
So long as Ibis prairie land retained its
original fertility there was no limit to
the number ot bauds or sizo of tbe fields
which might be employed, but when they
began to fail and improved culture and
fertilization became necessary, then the
remedy suggested tho other day by one of
these great planters became necessary,
“sell out to you Germans."
There is nothing In Southern farming
that demands tbe rain of tbo country in
any aspect, either as affecting its fertility
or impoverishing tbe people. A cotton
farm does not draw on the soil like a
grain farm. In tbe latter the feitUity of
tbo soil is yearly carried away without
return, but in tbe production of cotton a
large contribution to tbe soil ls annually
leit In tbe seed, aud no man need serious
ly impoverish his soil. But when tbe
grain soils ot tho west run out, what will
be tbe labor and expense of restoring tbeir
fertility?
The great mercantile farming of the
West will progress till tbe land reaches
exhaustion, and then will come the day
of small farming again—the day of slow
gams and snug little estates—good, im
proving neighborhoods—with fine church-
prognostication of decrease iu the crop.
The cotton receipts of Macon last year to

last year so far will surprise our readers.

fruit at harvest time. Thus there is great
danger that, between tho efforts in behalf

medals ana what not, projected in alt
parts of tho conntry, few or none will ever
be completed, or, it finished, prove worthy
ot their purpose. Such a coarse is not
possible perhaps, on account of local jeal
ousies and ambitions, bat it is none the
less to be regretted that all tbe funds con
tributed with tneso laudable ends in view
cannot be consolidated and applied to one
or two suitable objects. In this way, and
in this way alone, results might be secured
which would be at once a credit to tho

Wlint They are Howling About.
Sparta Ishmaclite.
Certain Democrats are raising a. great
howl now, beejuso of whatthoy are pleased
to term tho folly of our leaders in the Sen
ate, is not “winning” Independent David
Davis by patting him in the chair instead
of Mr. Bayard. In other words, they had
it in their power to buy the stateman of
bowels: but, instead of doing bo, they went
forward and pnt a lifo-long Democrat in
the chair. This is the offense of which the
Democrats in tbe Senate have recently
been guilty, in the estimation of the com
mercial follows. We are glnd to know that
the charge is true. We ore glad to know
that the Democratic Senators did not offer
to bny either Mahone or Davis. There may
have been n temptation to them, at the last
session, to bid against Garfield for the pos
session of the body nnd sonl of one Billy
Mahone; bnt if any such temptation was
suggested to them, we rojoice to know that
they spurned it. They may have been be
set, in the opening of the present session,
by a temptation to bny, with the offer of a
little office, the fat guerrilla from Illinois.
But they did not make the fat man any
offer. They left him to his conscience and
Radical manipulation, while they went for
ward, like patriotic, decent gentlemen, and
pnt an irreproachable Democrat in tho
chair. They conld bave made a bargain,
bnt they wonld not do so, and this is tbe
“folly” abont which the commercial fellows
are howling. They ought to bo ashamed
of themselves, but we have no idea that
they are. They cannot see anything but
on opportunity for a trade that was lost
through the stupid honesty of Mr. Bayard
and his friends. The sutlers of the Demo
cratic party are exceedingly hard to please.
It would be well enough to let them go un-
pleased.

“The flag of the rebel pirate steamer Al

How the steamer Alabama is to be charac

of taste. In so far as it is a matter of taste
it may be well enough to let tho above
wild and violent characterization go un
challenged—wretched taste though it be.
It is raid that there ought not to be any
disputes abont tastes. The Southern ear is
growing familiar with the harsh words
used to describe those who followed the
Confederate flag in the late war. For some
time the word “rebel” was incessantly
hurled at the heads of our people by
Northern Radicals alone; and no little ill
will was generated and kept alive by this
unkindly epithet. Bnt the word seems, in
some way, to have burnt itself into the

The Legislature, at its lost se-sion, ap
propriated quite a large stun, wo bclievo
tbe largest single appropriation that was
made, for the enlargement of the State Lu
natic Asylum. Of this the greater portion
will be expended in the erection of addi
tional buildings for tho accommodation of
colored lunatics. In addition to the large
number now in tho asylum thoro are said
to be over 100 in the State, who are confin
ed in jails and other places of detention.
Insanity, like consumption and a few oth
er diseases, formerly exceedingly rare
among tho colored race, has been steadily
on the increase since the era of emancipa
tion, and may undoubtedly bo traced to
tho baleful influences exercised oversimple
and credalous minds by their chnrch exer
cises and so-called revivals. Those who
have ever watched the antics of this class
of oar population, particularly tbe new
converts at a baptizing, or who, with
stronger nerves, have ever ventured into
their places of worship daring one of their
periodical revival seasons, will be at no loss
to assign a reason for tbo startling increase
of insanity among them. In fact his won
der will bo that so many are able
te go through one of those pro
tracted spells of demention withont
a permanently disordered intel
lect. Before tho war this was not the case,
and theso frequent and protracted revival
meetings were of very rare occurrence.
The negro race, beyond all others of God’s
creatures, is the most gregarious in its
habits and instincts. The opportunity
given them to assemble in large nembers
by an association or a camp meeting or a
protracted revival and to participate in its
proceedings, is one they are unable to re
sist. For pnrposes not hard to divine, this
spirit is sedulously fostered by their
preachers and leaders, and tho result is
that these meetings and gatherings are be
coming everywhere moro and more fre
quent, to tho groat derangement of busi
ness, not to mention other inconveniences
which have been immediately connected
with a colored revival. We hare no reme
dy to suggest for this state of things, as it
is all done in tho name and professedly for
the honor of religion. We merely note the
fact that by far tho largest percentage of
colored lunatics aro made so by these
meetings, and their number is steadily in.

vania. In the latter case, Lvwwur. -he
amount involved wai Tin
story of this operation was gjreu to
the Sun's correspondent to-night a» fid-
lows :
“As I was strolling np Broadway In
New York a well-dressed young man ad
dressed me by some name not my own,
which 1 do not recall, and seemed both
confused and incredulous when I told
him that he was mistaken. He, however,
apologetically said that I bore a striking
resemblance to the gentleman whom he
supposed me to be, and that he would be
grateful if I wou.d tell him who I was. 1
gave him my name and he left me with
every mark of courtesy. I had not gone
much further when another gentleman,
youthful, well dressed and ot remarkably
pleasing manners, crossed the sidewalk
toward me, and, extending his hand, ad
dressed me by name, and proiessed to be
delighted to have met me. His face
seemed not unfamiliar to me, but I could
not recall his name, and I suppose my
puzzled look led him to relieve my mind,
as he said: ‘Ah, I see you don't remem
ber me. I am F. A. Drexel, Jr. I bave
been abroad so long that you bave lost
sight ot me. I bave been studying art in
Paris, and returned only last week.’ He
then asked many questions about the wel
fare of many prominent Philadelphians,
with whose names, occupations and social
standing he seemed thoroughly familiar.
He also conversed very interestingly on
art matters abroad, mentioning incident
ally that he had been an extensive pur
chaser for the account ol bis uncles as
well as himself. We walked nptown, chat
ting thus pleasantly, and-not a suspicion
that my companion was not what he
represented himself to be entered my
mind. At length he mentioned that he
had just received a very expensive paint
ing from Paris—one lor which• Belmont’s
and Vanderbilt’s agents had bid against
him, but which he bad bought tor 50,090
francs. 'It was a very steep price, and I
don’t know how father and Uncle Tony
will like it,’ he said. He then invited
me to look at his treasure, which, be said,
was only a block or two away. Nothing
was occupying me particularly at that
time, and I consented. Turning down
one of the cross streets we caine to a
handsome brown-stone bouse, into which
we entered after ringing the bell. While
we stood on tbe steps my companion told
me that be had drawn tbe grand prize,
11,000 francs, in a lottery desiguedfor
the benefit of some. Parisian art as
sociation, and was only waiting in this
city for the money to coine to hand. He
then would go to Philadelphia and visit
his relatives. The door was opened by a
liveried porter, aud we were admitted to
a saloon parlor that seemed to have been
turned into an office. Mr. Drexel intro
duced himself to the gentlemanly individ
ual who occupied the desk, aud said that
he had brought me, mentioning my
name, to see his famons picture. The
gentlemanly individual was sorry that
the picture had just been sent to Phila
delphia, and he showed tbe express re
ceipt iu confirmation. Apologizing for
the disappointment, my companion
made a move as though to go away,
when the gentlemanly iudividual, alter
a brief consultation of what seemed
a book of entry, said: 'Mr. Drexel, I re
ceived the remittance of your grand prize,
11,000 francs, this morning. Here is the
money,’ and he handed out what appeared
to be that amount. The gentlemanly in
dividual then suggested that it would be
well to take some tickets in another lot
tery drawing for the benefit of some other
art association. Drexel was willing. He
said he patrouized such schemes for the
benefit of art, and always turned his
prizes over to deserving artists. I had
scruples against any such methods, but
he insisted and I handed him $19. Then
they brought out a numbered chart and
gambling Implements. I saw at
once that the whole tbiDg was a trick
and device, and I repossessed myselt ol
the $10 which I had given
my companion, aud which was lying on
the table, aud made my way out of the
room without opposition. The pseud#
Drexel came along, and agreed entirely
with mo in my estimate of the character
of the place. I still had confidence in
him, losing it only after suits had been
brought to recover money falsely so ob
tained.
Judge Pierce, who has been on the
Common Pleas bench of this county for
twenty years, was another intended vic
tim, and the picture game was the same.
While he did not suspect the nice young
man of dishonest purposes, be escaped by
refusing to view tbe painting, regarding
the confidence operator merely as an in
telligent bore.
