Since 1866, the value of cotton (raw and njanufactued) ?eipQrted from the United State's; anion uts to $1,500,000,000. This is about 60 per cent,. of our total - exports in value. Cotton is indeed: our, only reliable and remunerative articie of export, and is the real basis of' the wealth of the whole country. The present high ratea pf 'freight prevent the exportation of grain ij-pm the United States almost en tirely, although our surplus, is suffi cient for the 'wants'. of the civilized world. They also compel the South ern States to employ a large portion of their limited labor in the produc tion of food crops, (to which their soil amitf iniateafd" uot tutapTed.) and to that extent deprive Jt he VVest of a ma rkett o3 ust ra t e f th e a v -erage production of corn in the four i States mentioned is ten bushels per jficre. To make up the deficiency in the quantity now produced it would be necessary to cultivate at least five million acres. This acreage devoted to cotton would yield at least 1,250, 000 bales, worth, at 15 cents per pound, $125,000,000. Deduct from this the value of the c'orn which the same acreage would produce, and we have $75,1)00,000 to represent the amount of loss suffered annually bv the Southern and Western , farmers. rom a iacK 01 iacuuies jor a cneap nterchange of products. -This direct loss is greatly increased y the reflex operation of the causes under consideration. The high price of food increases the ost' of the manufacture as well as of the pro duction of cotton, and so of every other article we need. While the Western farmer realizes but a piti- auce upon his teeming crops, every manufactured article which he ues cmes to him burdened by onerous nd oppressive tariffs. Cheap trans portation from the West would not only cheapen food, but would, as a Xaqijsequence, i!so . cheapen labor. This result would enable the manu facturer to supply our wants at greatly reduced priees, and: would enable him to . compete successfully abroad as well as at home. Our manufactories would increase, our exi ports wouJ4 be doubleil. ,pur ship ig interesfs1 revived, and the ' bal- pii kauce ot trade would be largely in piufavor instead 01 against us as 11 how is. r f ' ' f I f Those State wateted bv the Mis sislippi river and its tributaries are the; granary ot the Union, and might be thescranarv pf ttesrerrte. but Oso edalslbiMikfl(re -for the want of cheap and adequate trans poftktioii, existing evils niust in crease andspread until poverty and bankruptcy. bVershadow tlJoHvlrole land. , The feverrshr "afi!srety which per vades the public, mind upon , this subject is abundantly showrt in jthe fact that Congress is gravely asked to takercontrol of the entirejcailroad systeu41Kiwtrymiid bytegis fative action gnlietftehr "clifirgs.

Missis sippi, through the Tennessee river, with the Atlantic ocean at Savan-. nab. Georgia. The Tennessee enters the Ohio a short distance above- the confluence of the lattert with the Mississippi. From this point the general direc tion of the Tennessee is southeast; to its groat bend at ' Guntersville, jn the State of Alabama- At that point the Coosa and the Tennessee ap proach each other there being on ly a narrow neck of land between them. Across this isthmus a canal, thirty miles long would connect these two rivers, and open naviga; tion to Rome, Georgia. From Rome the route follows the Etowah to its nearest' point, of approach to the Oc mulgee river, and down the latter to the city of Macon, and thence to the sea. Nature has already supplied the greater portion of this route, and it remains for us to complete the work which she has so well begun. Thermite has been su'rveved by dis tinguished engineers of the War De partment, and ha3 been pronounced by them eminently feasible. It of fers the following advantages : First, cheap transportation. Ac cording to the official reports the cost of 'transporting a ton of grain from St. Louis to Savannah, by this route, would be $4.88. It cost, by rail $14.40. The saving upon each ton would be $0.52 amounting in the aggregate to about $14,000,000 per annum, upon grain alone, to be divided between the producer and consumer.
