f-winnett Atlas. I ~LX\TrTA7n^vmX^^' BritbXte-liAY iVoftxiKo, Jlnk 28, 1871. ¥)cmnlgee A'- N, (Ha. It. It. 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. m ■ 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. - ■— Gumming. —A friend sends us a list of the business houses, work sln ps, etc., in this flourishing town.

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.
