The Federal government, by the sub sidies it. granted to the Pacific ruil xvays and other lines iu the North west, has thrown its influence against the Soutli and largely against New <lrloans, So far ns tho account of the general government with the South is concerned, it has not only taken millions from tho Southern States in the process of war, but given millions to the Western States in the way ot railway endowments.

It if with groat pleasure t hat we print this morning the following communication from Dr. C. I>. Ag : new, of New York. Comment upon our part is unnecessary, as I)r. Ag new’s reputation is second to none on this continent. The New York Herald states that no blame was at tached to any one of the medical gentlemen connected with tho unex pected death of Prof. Walker: No. in East Thirty-Ninth Ht., I New York, April 15,1875. ( Editor* Daily Time*, (Jolumbn*, da. : Gentlemen I have been favored through the mail with a copy of your influential journal, under date of April 10th, in which there is an arti cle headed “Poisoned by Hemlock. It is very Important that tho lessons to lie learned from the melancholy result of the case should not involve any incorrect or unjust views, and I would therefore beg you to insert the following brief statement: “Mr. Walker had had for several yeurs violent spasmodic contortions of the muscles of the face and eye lids, frequently incapacitating him. for any form of labor, and always producing distressing grimaces. He had been under tho care of Professor Brown-Sequard and others, and for many months he had had my services with little or no benefit. Tho recent revival of confidence in the value of hemlock, or couium, in spasmodic affections of this character induced Dr. Webster to propose that Mr. Walker should have a trial of its al leged salutary effects. The extensive experience of Harley, London, tsoo London Practitioner, vol. 5, 1870 , and of others in this country, justi fied HUeii a course. “Mr. Walker accordingly came to my office by appointment, on Satur day, April 8, at ten o’clock, to take tin* medicine and to be under obser-; ration. He remained there from about ten o’clock until twenty min utes past one, during which time he took at the hands of Dr. Webster 180 drops of an extract of the leaves of conium wit hout, producing any of the effects of the drug. After waiting an hour and thirty-five minutes after tlm last dose he walked away, stating ; that he was in his usual health and j did not feel any of the symptoms which the drug was supposed to pro duce. Before going l)r. Webster gave him a prescription for a fluid j extract of conium, with instructions: to carry the prescription to tho man ufacturer of the extract in Brooklyn and to seethe manufacturer iu per son and to ascertain from iiim what dose of his extract could be safely taken. He went, it seems, to the manufacturer, saw him in person, was observed by him to be free from any intoxication from the drug given nearly four hours previously, obtain ed the extract of conium, Imd the dose prescribed by him with A CAUTION NOT TO REPEAT IT if he experienced any of the symp toms which had boon previously carefully enumerated. To return, during ttio three hours and twenty minutes that he was at my office un der tho observation of Dr. Webster, the latter fully instructed Mr. Walker as to the symptoms that the remedy was expected to produce, and read to him an account of the drug and its action as detailed in a standard work, false explained carefully the effect which the drug might produce, and inquired an hour and twenty minutes after the last dose whether such ef fect had been produced, and was dis tinctly ( ANSWERED IN THE NEGATIVE. “Mr. Walker went from the manu facturer’s to his home, took, as it is said, three ’doses of the extract, al though the tirst dose had produced the effect which ho had been warned should be considered as forbidding its continued use, and between six and seven o’clock died. PRECAUTIONS. “In this case it should be observed that very extraordinary and minute precaution had been taken by the medical men concerned to guard against every accident. Mr. Walker hail had large experience in the use of nerve remedies and was a man ol' remarkable intelligence. As lie left our office lie stated that ho under stood the directions which had been so carefully given, and would follow | them.” “Two hundred and forty drops of the fluid extract of conium seed, of Sqtiibbs’ make, have been taken in one dose by an adult with impunity. Considering the fact that the first preparation taken by Mr. Walker was of the leaves, he got in all, in liiaeig/ff doses, less than that. Had ho follow ed the directions given so carefully by his medical advisers, he would, in all human probability, bo alive to day. It is not an uncommon thing for any careful medical man to give some preparation of opium, with di rections to repeat the dose until sleep is induced; or to give strychnine, or arsenic, until its medicinal effects are produced. If patients, so advised, should go on, in spite of the most careful instructions, and produce a fatal result, intelligent critics would not blame the doctor. The fatal mis take made by Mr. Walker was that he did not stop after the first dose, when he reoognizetl, and had his wife write down, tho peculiar symptoms, on the occurrence of which he had been ordered, over and over again, to stop. One lesson certainty nmy be learned from the ease, viz.: to follow the advice of the medical adviser provided ho is trustworthy to the very letter. The remedy used was not as dangerous a one as opium and many others in common use, as it acts without impairing the menial faculties. Very respectfully, C. It. Aonew.” Dr. Agnew adds iu a private letter tho following, which we take the lib erty of publishing: “I felt a great, interest in Mr. Walker’s welfare, and was greatly shocked by his untimely death. Al though I feel that all the medical men involved aro entirely blameless, I greatly regret tho fatal result and the notoriety which it brings - the account of the case having gone, more or less distorted, over the whole world. Ido not regret the notoriety on all accounts, nor do I shrink from criticism, provided, only, the facts of the case arc sufficiently brought out to impress the lessonswhich they aro fitted to inculcate. "I was told at the time of Mr. Toyn bee’s death that its cause was chlo roform. Of this fact I would not of my own knowledge affirm. “What makes Mr. Walker's ease harder for his family is the fuct that he was unable to leave any property. Indeed, his condition was so impecu nious that I had treated him as a froo patient both at my Hospital mid my office. His business was thut of an oleetrielan and Insurance agent -net that of a scientist—and his malady had always, or for many years, kept him in penury. C. R. A.” hi ii-uaiiim: EN(.i\iti:itl>iJ. Thr I’rii|iu>rU TTintir! I filler Ills Ei'X lisli ( Imii ncl Conulderrd. In order to better illustrate the character of sub-marine tunnels, and demonstrate the practicability of the I scheme, we give below a brief history lof tho famous Thames tunnel. We I premise this statement by the usser : tion that the relative cost of the tun ! nel across the Straits of Dover will be j much less than that across the ) Thames. Thisopinion is based upon tho fact that it was necessary for the Thames tunnel to be self-sustaining, and the quick-sand underneath the Thames necessitated tho propelling of a frame as fast as the excavation proceeded. With a chalk formation this will not be necessary; and no formation is more favorable for the successor the enterprise, than that across the English Channel, H will be observed that the same depth be low the bottom of the sea as that ex eavated below the bottom of the Thames Is considered sufficient, viz: 200 feet. It has not yet been decided wheth er work will lie commenced simul taneously on the French and Eng lish coasts. Since, however, the sci ence of engineering lias so far pro gressed to perfection, that the tunnel underneath the Alps was so accurate ly performed that the picks from the opposite sides met each other; and since—thanks to Commodore Maur> -the cable lias been successful!) laid in the trough of the sea, we have every reason to hope for the success of ttie enterprise. THAMES TUNNEL. In going into Thames tunnel, one is ushered into an immense shaft ol 61) feet diameter, and two stair cases with 105 steps. There is a similai shaft on the opposite side. Tho ex cavation was commenced in June, 1824, 150 feet from tho river. The dimensions of the tunnel are as fol lows : Length, 1,200 feet; width, 98 feet; height, 22 feet 6 inches; section al area, 850 feet; basis of excavation in deepest part of the river, 7G feet below high water mark. There are 63 open arches, 126 lights in the tun nel, six lights in each shaft. Two | stair cases are in each shaft, that on Surrey side has 109 steps in tho de scent, and 105 in the ascent; oil the Wapping side there are only 99 to each. It required 5,500 bricks per foot, and 6,600,000 in all, exclusive of the shafts. The total cost was £468,- 000. Iu 1831, Parliament granted a loan of £250,500. The shaft and reservoir having been completed, the excava tion for tlie body of the tun nel was commenced with an in cline of 2 feet 3 inches per 100 feet. On the 25th of March, 1843, it was opened to foot passengers. The carriage way is not yet completed. On the first 11 days 200,000 persons passed through ; and the total num ber of persons who passed through the tunnel up to the 30th of Decem ber, 1865, amounted to 23,882,448. | Tho charge for crossing is one pen ny per head, hence it, will be seen that the Thames tunnel has proved a financial failure. There is but little similitude be tween tlm two tunnels. TRAVEL UNDER THE SEA. “Is there no wily to crass the sen by hunt?” asks a poltroon in one of Thomas Bamlolph’s comedies. This problem has agitated English and French engineers since IMS, when M Thome Do Uamond first conceived tliu idea that tlio straits between Do ver and Calais might bo crossed by a tunnel, a viaduct high enough to ad mit tho passage of vessels, or by means of huge metallic water-tight tubes resting on the sea-bottom, li was not, however, until 1885 that the project of a submarine tunnel took a practical shape. In that year the careful researches of Sir John Hawk shuvv, an eminent English engineer, into tho nature of the strata beneath the Channel confirmed the theories of geologists, and demonstrated the feasibility ortho scheme, lie made accurate surveys of the Channel bot tom, and bail deep borings sunk on each coast. As tho result, of Ins in vestigations, Sir Joint selected for the English terminus St. Margaret’s Bay, a depression in tin* chalk cliffs about four miles east of Dover, and on the French side a spot about throe miles west of Calais. By adopting this route the tunnel could be almost wholly excavated in a bed of homo geneous chalk. This Tied is upward of 500 feet deep on each shore from high-water mark, and investigations lead to tho conclusion that it stretches without break or fissure across the Channel, The level underneath tho sea at which the tunnel has been placed in the engineering plans will nowhere have less than 200 feet of solid chalk above it, While the rail way approaches at either end will be on very easy grades. Extensive experiments justify the conclusion that but little difficulty is to be apprehended from the presence of water ill the chalk bed through which the tunnel will be made. Mere percolation of water through tho chalk would not affect the work, and there is little probability of meet ing, at the great depth at which the excavation will be made, with open fissures. It is proposed to bore a “drift-way” of seven or nine feet diameter from one side of tho Channel to the other, the borings starting from each side. This work, it is estimated, could lie finished In two years at a cost of about £BOO,OOO sterling. The borings would be made with u new tunneling machine, which works like an auger boring a hole in wood. The chalk is out off in slices, which break up and fall upon an endless chain, from | which they are dumped into wagons behind the machine. This machine I has been tried in a chalk bed similar ! to the one through which the tunnel will run ; it made a drift-way seven I feet in diameter, at the rate of a yard ' to a yard and a quarter per hour. The drift-way completed, the success of the enterprise would be assured. It is estimated t hat its completion would require four years’ time and about £4,000,UU0 sterling. The ques tion of ventilation has been carefully considered, and several practicable schemes have been proposed to pro vide for this necessity. The English and French engineers agree In opin ion that there will bo no difficulty in obtaining by mechanical means a steady current of air through the tunnel at all times, quite sufficient to i maintain the purity of t he atmosphere.; —Harper'* Weekly. Hit. BktiCMEtt. Mr. Beecher’s eon luot under Ful lerton’s cross (Ire reminds us some what of the soldiers in the army who always dodged bomb-shells. It made no difference how high above their heads the unearthly sound was, they j invariably dodged. Y’et, how impos sible, after all, it was to dodge a shell when it came directly to its victim. Mr. Beecher, though “an art ful dodger,” can not do igc success fully public opinion. Whatever may be tho verdict of tho jury, the public will form Its own opinion, and we think that opinion will be unfavora ble to Mr. Beecher. Both he and Theodore Tilton will meet the con demnation of honest men and wo men. “How have the mighty J fallen!” Yot Mr. Beecher’s wonder- i ful physical and mental vigor excites too a I miration of all, and is hardly ! p iralleled. THE TWO MFN. Fullerton and Beecher fueach other like two gladiators of old Rome, each clad m his own irnpene . ruble armor, each splendidly matched, each renowned throughoul ihe universe as masters of their pro .essions, each depending more upon their own wits, their own ready facul ties, and their own indomitable will and power of endurance, for victory, han from any physical weakness of! their opponent.— Chicago Tribune. It is more difficult to describe these j indications of nervousness positively ttian negatively. There was no trem bling of hands or lingers ; Mr. Beech er once asked for his memorandum- j book, and opened and held it without - the slightest agitation or tremulous-j ness; his bouquet was as tenderly Handled as ever, and frequently car ried to his nose. Frequent hesitation m answering, occasionally a guarded i iiiswcr as if the witness suspeeftd a j Hidden meaning in the question, a, gloomy and reserved manner, these; were the chief and most marked indi cations that. Mr. Beecher dreaded, in some degree ul least, an ordeal which tie admitted was new to him. It did not continue long—ut least not to the close of the examination —and when ue had left the witness chair, at 4 o’clock, he said jocosely that he did not feci that his “hide had been taken off, though,” he added, “there’s no telling what will come to-morrow.” X. V. Tribune. It is understood that Mr. Charles Qaylor, the play writer ami theatri cal manager, lias made Miss Bessie Turner an offer for her services as an actress. She lias also been approach ed by lecture agents, but none of the propositions have been cither accept ed or declined. -V. Sun. Mrs. Tilton, however, is not the person whom Mr. Beecher's lawyers most need to call. That person is Henry t'. Bowen. A trial of this is sue of Tilton against Beecher with out Bowen’s evidence is little better than a farce. He has challenged Mr. Beecher to call him as a witness, challenged him in a way that will leave but one inference if he fails to cull him, and that inference that lie dare not. - Spri uyJleUl Republican. Brooklyn is remarkable for strong Hemlock and weak wedlock. Brook lyn Argil*. The Soutli, says the New York Her ald, lias naturally no ordinary inter est in the Centennial celebration, for it offers an occasion not. only for the display of the resources of that por tion of ttie country, but for the evi lenee of its patriotism. Our corres pondence from Mississippi and Geor gia indicates the interest, which the Southern people take in our national anniversary, it. is unfortunate that tho Southern States are too poor to give much iieeuiiiary help to the en terprise, but. we trust, that by next year they will make important con tributions of their pro In tions. \W cannot leave the South out of the Centennial without some discredit to the policy the North has pursued since the war. Let the Soutli either abstain as a unit from all participation in the Centennial Exhibition of 1876, and thus furnish an unanswerable argu ment to tile world <>f tho National in justice towards her since 1865; or let every State Legislature grant liberal appropriations, that the dormant mineral wealth of tho Soutli may be made known, and accurate descrip tions given of all our varied re sources.

Extract from Scribner’* Magazine, Aug ant, 1h74. Niortli utul ttoutlt Georgia. At Oartersville, fifty miles north of i Atlanta, fine crops of wheat and cot- ; ton are raised [and the writer might : have added as fine clover and grasses ' as grow in Western New York -Ed.]; and in the vicinity large quarries of slate and marble have been opened, and worked successfully. [Few localities in the United States possess a greater abundance of man- j ganese, and nearly all the iron used i iu Atlanta, besides a half-dozen fur naces in operation iu the county in which Oartersville is situated, is fur- 1 uished from the hills near Carters ville. This iron is chiefly used, when shipped North, for the manufacture of car wheels, which is an evidence of its quality.—Ed.] The transition from the brisk air j and re lish uplands of Northern Geor- j gia to the siugglish atmosphere and i sombre voluptuousness of the low-j lands of the coast is startling. One ; seems to have come upon anew eoun try, to have passed beyond seas, so ! great is the difference. The Savan nah river, up which you sail return ing from Florida, some radiant morn-, iug, seems to you to have no affinity ! with the Savannah which, far among j the Northern mountains, you saw born of the frolicsome or riotous streamlets, for ever leaping and roar ing in the passes or over mighty falls. Now that a steamship line has been established between Brunswick' and New York, and the lumber busi-! ness is reviving, tiie Macon & Bruns- 1 wick Railroad begins to look better, i The time is coming when that road ! will be a very profitable property, nnd.that time is not far distant. Luih- ‘ ber and naval stores will do it. The | road should not be sold for a song in June. Senator Morton thinks tho poverty, prostration, and utter supiuess of tho South is owing largely to tho enervat ing influences of slavery and tho cou ; tempt for work which the slave sys | tom fostered among the Southern people. | As an evidence that great minds will differ, I could but contrast Sena tor Morton ’a views on this subject wiiti ttiose of Governor Houiton, of Alabama, with whom I had a some what extended Interview during the sojourn of the late lamented editorial excursion in Montgomery. Said Gov ernor Houston: “The lack of thrift which you have noted in our country | is owing largely to two causes, one of which is the spursene.ss of white pop j ulation, und the other the luck of con fidence which our people feel in those who govern them. ’ By this the Go v ernor explained that lie meant the car pet-baggers who are elected by the negro vote to State offices and lo till legislative halls, und who, having no interests in common with the South ern people, keep taxes high, pass op pressive measures, und, in short, by means of combinations and rings, leg islate the hard earnings of an impov erished people into their own pock ets.
