I The Gwik««tt Atlas sends a long
Idiloiiftl, «lrt»igmg the Central Kail
road with duplicity in a pretended
L,l vtK'.acv of ihe Ocinulgee and North
beorgia Raiiioivd, Hnd asserting that
■the leafu of ihe Macon and Western,
if Cttlininimaicd, will necessarily array
that corporation in open hostility to
the Ocinulgee and North Georgia
line. But that paper reasons that
the lease, so far from defeating or re
tarding the cot alruclion of the line,
makes its completion a certainty. It
becomes a matter of life and death
with the Macon and Brunswick li’.'.e
to ensuie a Western connection, and
this can best I e done by pushing the
road from M;con lo Knoxville to
immediate completion. The stock
owned in the Macon and Western
road b) the Macon and Brunswick
capitalists, tran-fei ted to tbc Ocniul
geo and Not tli Georgia enterprise,
will, with the State’s endorsement,
construct and equip 120 miles of the
latter road, allowing $20,000 to the
mile, and the remainder cou’d be
built on subscriptions along iLe line.
This is the substance of the article.
We cannot find room for it in full.
We do not understand lire Central
Railroad as opjxjsed to the Ocinulgee
and Nortli Georgia, or in any manner
aaeking lo defeat its construction, blit
hope’ the idea thrown out by the
Atlas may take a practical shape,
as>d secure the speedy completion of
the Ocinulgee and Nortli Georgia
Railroad. —Macon Tel. and Mess.
It is a littlo singular that our con
temporary did not “ understand the
Central Railroad as opposed lo the
Ocinulgee and North Georgia,” at
the time the above article was writ
ten —before the motion lo dissolve
the injunction restraining the transfer
of the Macon and Western road, had
been heard, and a decision rendered
adverse lo the Centra) road. The
latter corporation, like all others of a
similar character, is controlled, not
by the wishes or interests of any sec
tion or locality, but solely by self.
interest. If tbe Central road could
have absoibed the Macon and West
ern— the only road terminating at
Macon having Westers connections —
and thus have boen enabled to mo
nopolize Western freights, would it
Lave been to the interest of that
road for a new line to the West to
be opened up, over which it was de
nied control by legislative enactment
—and one, too, that would hare de
stroyed the very monopoly it sought
to effect by leasing the Macon and
Western 1 Why, the sole purpose
of this lease was to enable the (Jen
tral road to choke off its rivals from
cariying Western freights. If this
class of freight should l* turned from
th« Macon and Western lo Oe
tmilgee and North Geoigia road—in
the event the lease is finally perfected
—it is jiateut that the Central road
must suffer, annually, to the tune of
ten per cent on the capital slock of
the Macon ami Western. And yet
i!i* Central Railroad Company would
'?TO+ % he hostile to the construction of
this new line to the West! The
Macon people may swallow that sort
of shift', hut it won’t go down up this
way, “ worth a cent."
The probability is, however, that
the injunction restraining the trios
fer of the manajji mi nt and control
of the Mm-on and Western to the
Central road, will he made perpetual, !
and, in that event, the latter will be
greatly interested in the construction
of the line from Macon to Knoivillo,
but not more so than the Macon and
Brunsw it k Company. This new road
to the West is necessary to the future
successful operation of all the roads
diverging from Macon, and it is highly
important to them all that it should
lie opened up at once; for if it be
neglected until the contemplated road
from Athens to Knoxville, via Clay
ton, is built, it will then le too late
even to tali about such an enterprise.
If this latter road is constructed while
the friends of the Octuulgee and
North Georgia are napping (and it
seems piobable, at least, that this
will be done), Macon will never have
any other avenue to the great North
west than o»er the Macon and West
ern. Northwestern produce seeking
an outlet to tho ocean wilt then be
turned down the Georgia Railroad
to Augusta, and thence by water to
Savannah.
We are surprised at the apparent
indifference of the people of Macon
to the success of this great enterprise.
Neither her capitalists, or newspaper
men. seeiu to care a ‘•continental"
whether it is e»er built or not. If
there was one half ibe energy auu
public spirit there that there is in
Atlanta—or if wecould just exchange
the populations, and uewspapeis too,
of the two places, wo would then
have no doubt whatever of the ill)
construction of the Ocmulgee
remain quiet and inactive, expecting
MacoO to take the initiative in the
inAtt'i-r. Meetings should tie held
in all the counties along the line of
t)ic contemplated nmd; subscriptions
should bo liberally And promptly
made, and a board of directors elected
by bam i fide stockholders, who aie
in (arm st in the matter. When we
once get staited in this way. we can
build the road despite all opposition.
We want a boa:d of directors Who
are not hostile to us by reason of
their interest in the Central Railroad
—and such a one we must have, or
abandon all hopes of the success of
this great enterprise.
We do uol rctnernbor who the l)i
rectors of the Ocmnlgee and North
Georgia are, but we are willing to
venture anything, front a tooth-pick
to a fish-hook, “or other like large
sum,” as the lawyers gay, that a ma
jority of them are stockholders of the
Central Railioad. Will the Tele
graph and Messenger he kind enough
to publish the names of the Direc
tors? The opinion has been, and
now is, quite prevalent up this way,
that “that’s exactly what’s the mat
ter with Hannah,” and that to this
chuso is attributable the profound
quiet that this subject lias been bur
ied in the past six months.

Foster Blodgett and Var
ney Oaskill Indicted.
The Grand Jury of Fulton
county, last week, prefered a bill
cf indictment against the virtuous
Foster Blodgett, and the pious
Varney Gaskill, for the offence of
larceny after trust.
It appears that Miles G. I)ob'
|Linn, of Atlanta, had a claim
j against the Western & Atlantic
Railroad, for damages for loss of
cotton, delays in transportation,
injuries, etc , amounting to $15,-
548 00 Foster Blodgett wai Su
[>emi>te»clent of the road, and
Gaskill was his private secretary.
Dob!ins, it seems, had doubts
about the validity of his claim.,
and, therefore, concluded that it
would be much safer to retain the
I services of the “private secre
Uary (who, by the way, is a
jack leg lawyer) —and to trust to
his “ influence” over his virtuous
master, than to appeal to the
courts. This he accordingly did.
Gaskill obtained from Blodgett
liis note ns Superintendent of the
State Road, for the stint of $15,-
548 06. After the note became
due, it was paid, by Executive
warrant, to Gaskill. lie then
jiaid Dobbins $7,000 of the amount,
and the note was cancelled—thus
pocketing the snug little sum of
$7,548 06. Dobbins, it is alleged,
had agreed with Gaskill that he
should retain whatever amount
he might realize from this claim,
above SI,OOO.
| The indictment is based, we
presume, upon the fact that Blod
gett and Gaskill formed a conspi
racy for the purpose of defraud
-1 iog the State, and wer* partners
in thes7,s4B 06 retained by Gas*
kill.
We have no doubt but that
Blodgett and Gaskill have per pc
trated enough rascality of this
kind to keep them in the peniten*
tiary the balance of their days, if
i the law* was properly administered.
Nor have we any doubt of their
guilt in this case, yet we have no
idea that cither of them will be
convicted. The difficulty is in
, proving the agreement between
the iw'O, as t'» the division of tho
surplus over tho *7,000, that was
to be paid to Dobbins, as it was
known to no one else but them
selves. Without proof of this, a
conviction cannot be had.
The pious Varney got into a
difficulty of this kind once before,
and would now, in all probability,
be doing the Slate aomo service
as sn employee on the Air-Line
Railroad, had not Bullock defeated
justice by granting him a pardon,
not only in advance of conviction,
but before he was even prosecuted.
Ilia Bovinity will doubtless repeat
the operation in this instunce.
It would certainly be a pity to
turn the virtuous Blodgett over
to Grant and Alexander, and thus
deprive him of the privilege he is
now exercising of franking good
Radical documents from his seat
(in the lobby) in the United
States Senate.

The Canning of Frails
and Vegetables.
Mk. Kuitohi— As the season for
canning fruit and vegetables is at !
liftud, nnd the crop is proving to
be a bountiful ottc for all legiti
mate [im poses, if properly harvest,
ed for winter use, who can more
highly estimate tbc great impor
tance of this subject, or the deli
cate impress inn made upon the
tastes of an epicure, when the
earth is shrouded in the frosts of
mid-winter, than by placing before
him all the rich fruits of mid
summer, as fresh and plump as
the day they were gathered from
the stalk? Hence, I would most
respectfully direct the attention of
housewives to thegreat inipui tance
of filling their store houses with
the cheapest and best things for
future use. This ought to bo the
all-absorbing question at this pime;
for, without saving or harvesting
the fruits that the hands of a kind
Providence, in the exuberance of
His goodness, have so bountifully
placed before us—and this we reap
or gather without sowing or hoeing
—we are responsible for the ab
sence or presence of those things
upon our tables, in or out of sea
son. and ought to be vicjilant in
laying up for the winter. Last
year was my first experience in
canning, and the result has proven
so satisfactory and complete, that
I will follow precisely the same
plan this year. I lost but three
out of one hundred and twenty
five cans. This loss was caused
by imperfect soldering. I will
give you the modus operandi, and
if you think that it might be of
interest to your many readers, it
is at your disposal.
The first desideratum is the selec ■
tion of good and well matured
fruits, as common or inferior ate
not wot th the trouble or expense.
They must have arrived at the
acme of maturity —as only then
they have the sweet juices fit for
preservation. All fruits having
unhealthy specks, or a green side,
ought to be rejected as unfit for
tablo use; hence, more unfit for
canning. They must be picked
from the boughs of the trees; as
one bruised piece will spoil a whole
can. 2d. Place the recently picked
fruits in a vessel of cold water. —
Have one hand with a soft cloth
to wash of all furze, or foreign
matter, that may be adhering to
tho peach. They must then bo
peeled with a sharp knife, and
with as light a toueli as poss ble,
to prevent bruising. From the
peeler’s hand they are put Into
another vessel ot the most clear
and cold water. The cutter must
have a keen, narrow-bladed knife;
each cut must be smooth and ef
fectual—no half way cutting, and
tho other half broken off. This
leaves a bruise, and will cause the
fruit to decay. Keeping the peeled
fruit under water is quite impor
tant, as it excludes atmospheric
influence, and maintains the poach
in its natural color- —yellow, or
white.
j 3d. The fruit id now ready for
| cooking. Copper kettles will du,
but tin pans of the proper size are
| more convenient, and just as good.
The pans ought to be six inches
j (Jeep and large enough to hold two
or three gallons. This i« the best
and most convenient si/.e for fami
ly purposes With a brisk fire in
the cooking-stovfc, the process is
commenced. Now is the time to
be careful, as tho quality of your
fruit depends upon this division of
the process. The pans may be
filled seven eights of their capac
ity. Pour in just water enough
to cover the fruit. Immerse your
thermometer to the bottom of the
vessel; raise the heat to 200 de
gree*. Mu intain this temperature
for ten minutes, and by the use of
a tablespoon keep stirring from
the bottom, so that the heat may
be maintained equally in the ves
sel. If you have not got a ther
mometer, bring the water to a
boll, for a moment only. If tin
cans are used, the solderer must
be in waiting, with a good blast
in bis furnace, and his irons at
proper temperature. By the use
of a tablespoon the heated fruit
is hastily placed in tho cans, at
the highest temperature, with as
little lluid as possible, so that the
ft uit may be Well packed, (as can
ning fluid is rather expensive.)
After the can is well packed with
fruit, and the fluid does not rise
to the top, put in enough of the
water to till the can even full;
then hastily pass it to the solderer
so that it may be soldered with
the least delay possibly before
cooling. This must be done with
care, as the least leak in the sol
dering will ruin the fruit. Some
might fear this plan, apprehending
that the fruit would not be cooked
enough; but the question might
be asked, why heat the fruit at
aii ? This is for the best of rea
sons. The heat expels the atmos
phere, and this is the only object
in heating the fruit at all. Fruit
would keep just as well without
heat, if the atmosphere could be
effectually got rid of; and this
is most readily accomplished by
beating. But suppose the fruit is
allowed to COol before
sealing. What then? As there
is no resistance to atmospheric
pressure, it would he sealed up
with the fruit. Fermentation would
ensue, and a right lively time
would take place among the cans
in a little time. This plan for
tho canning of the larger fruits,
will stand good] for the small
fruits as well.
The datnsou plum is manipu
lated the same as the peach,
om.itiug the seeding and peeling.
The dew or blackberry and elder
berry, for common use, are canued
the same as the larger fruits, or as
follows: Have the berries care
fully gathered—none htlt sound,
firm and well matured ought to
be accepted—fill tbe cooking Ves
sels half full of good sorghum
syrup; heat it to a boiling point;
put in the berries, press them
down, so that the vessel will not
be too full to stir from the bottom;
with an active fire bring them to
a boil, but just for one moment.
[ Can and seal hastily, and they are
safe for yeurs. If you wish to be
fastidious, you may use the best
| of sugar, if you please, but it is
not better than good sorghum.
Mr. Editor, did you ever eat a
tart made from the elderberry? —
j If you hare not, get your “better
half” to make you one just as she
would any other berry tart, and if
you are not pleased with it, I will
pay expenses.
The tomato, that queen of vege
tables, is canned, for ordinary ta
: ble use, the same as the peach;
For tarts, the same as the black
or elderberry. Any one wishing a
great delicacy, will use sugar in
place of the sorghum for the to
mato; but 1 think sorghum good
enough. •
Green Corn can be successfully
kept by cutting it from the cob.
Wash it freely in cold water, to
remove all the loose husk; boil
actively for one hour; put it in
the cans while boiling. No time
must be lost in soldering.
For beans, break them in small
pieces, bring them to an active
boil, and can hastily; but they
are best preserved by putting
them doWn in a saturated solution
of salt. Before use they must be
washed in several waters, and
soaked over night; and you have
a good substitute for the fresh
bean.
Care must be exercised in se
lecting jars of proper size fur tbe
different fruits, so that one can
will hold enough for use at one
time for all of a family. I much
prefer the Hero glass jar. Others
may be as good, but I have used
,tb6in, and they have given satis
faction. Glass is much more pre
ferable, as tin cans impart a disa
greeable metalic taste to the fruit.
Glass is the cheapest, and will
last for years if proper care is
exercised.
N. B.—lt would l>e advisable
to have an extra vessel of water
kept boiling, Bo that the glass
jars may be kept gradually heated,
as suddenly putting the heated
fruit in Cold jars might cause
them to break.
Most respectfully,

ply his wants, he went in debt for his
board, patronized the merchants and bar
keepers (the latter liberally), and was
suddenly taken with a leaving without
settling their bills. He remained here
long enough to establish a character for
duplicity and deception.
He is about 35 years of age, slender
form, very long neck, lair skin, dark hair
and blue eyes, about six feet high, plausi
ble address, speaks quickly and persist
ently. He came here, as we since learn,
a fugitive from Atlanta for the crime of
embezzlement. It is believed he hasgoue
to Talladega or Asheville, Ala.
