marked that the uniform tone of these
i
bulletins has been hopeful, and when
backsets occur, they are referred to as
not to be unexpected, and as exciting
lib serious apprehensions. The doctors
statokrtm-admitting that there has
been or is any real cause for alarm, and
havs . evidently 'so worcled tbjeironl
munipationa toithe Jpublic as tdr'sap
press fears and keep up confidence.
They have evidently not made a true,
plain statement of the case, or they
themselves have been deceived and
have been ignorant of their patient's
trne condition. It would be perhaps
more just to suppose them ignorant
than deceitful.
It will be remarked, too, that while
there are four of them in attendance
daily, when anything unusual occurs
they telegraph for Drs. Hamilton andj
Agnew, the latter; of whom has per
formed the ' surgical Vpen&ions up to
this time. One or the other of these
distinguished physicians has been in
attendance since the President's relapse
of two weeks ago, and the name of
either one of them is appended to the
bulletins sent out.
Notwithstanding the fact that six
weeks have intervened, the President
still lies as helpless as an infant his
food being simplyrliquids, with- ah oc
casional taste of some solid food, an
occurrence so worthy of notice' that' it
is specially mentioned in the bulletins.
It is conceded that the effort has not

strong enough to bear the operation,
and yet he must, instead of gaining, be
losing strength every day. The amount
of food he takes is so insignificant that
his strength must be wasting day after
day. The surgeons admit this when
they teirus that the daily high fever is
in consequence of '--weakness, a fever
which keeps up, and: even at this late
day ranges from 98 to 108, which would
seem to be anything but a satisfactory,
condition. .We .'would Uke to bejieve,
otherwise, but from all the lights before
us, we cannot see anything very en
couraging in his progress, as the bulle
tinslfeall it. He may recover, and we
earnestly trust he will, but there is
enough of uncertainty in his case to
excite the gravest apprehensions.
ONE DAY'S RECORD.
Northern papers of the Kadical per
suasion are fond of telling their read
ers what a wicked place the South is,
representing it as a section of lawless
ness, bowie knives and bad whiskey.
But they would have to look

borrow for a place in the .South that
could hold a light to this onejday's rec

. . i - m f BfT-"" t,-
the preservation of .health almost an
impossibility The -consequence was
thatona.of the 'naturally most fertile
regions was shunned, but comparative
ly few people being willing to encoun
ter disease and death . byv malaria and
the unhealthy water they were com
pelled to drink. A strata of bluish pipe
clay underlaid the top soil, and through
this, the water of the wells percolated
and became impregnated with decayed
vegetable matter and de:cdmposed re
mains of marine deposits which abound
beneath the upper crust in all that seq
tion, andiWag fit for nelthe? I man nor
yStodrffi: !
Mr. Fort, reasoning1 from his knowl
edge of the geological formation, con
cluded that by boring through these
upper stratas of clay till he came to the
bed rock formations dipping from the
mountains, he would strike the under
currents of pure water following these
rock courses, and the. result, JUas-justified
his reasoning. Notwithstanding
the discouragmg, experience:ofothers
who had attempted :the aam tiling in
a small way and gave up in despair,
and alsot ;rofesspso geolqgf who
were supposed to te periecny posted in
such matters, he began to bore on a
farm known a3 Hickory Level, and at a
depth br$30 feet he secured a supply of
from six to eight gallons per minute of
water as pure and sparkling as any that
eveffiowed fjromthtf eSrUrursting up
ten feet high irem ther'mottth of the
well. .
His success, of course, demonstrates
the fact that a plentiful supply of wa
ter may be thus secured, and the prob
abilities now are that that section of
Georgia. will abound in artesian wells,
and onckcfcthe great obstacles to liv
iflg there will be avcQirje, and conse
quently ''the lands heretofore in little
demand will be sought for and be
much enhanced in value.
He has another theory in connection
with this subject, and that is that the
swampy regions may be to a great ex
tent drained and reclaimed, thus get
ting rid of the malaria propagators by
boring and tapping the substratas of
pipe clay which .form the bottom of
these water basins, permitting the wa
ter to escape into the. sapd and pebble
formations beneath and ran off He
feels as confident of the correctness of
his views on this subject as he was in
the beUet that he could find the living
stream's of water which he did find.
-The people down there are joyful
over the result of his labors, for it has
redeemed one of the most desirable
portions of Georgia heretofore of little
value for the reasons mentioned.
Now the question is if artesian wells
are a success in South Carolina and
Georgia may they not also be in this
section of North Carolina, which is
closer tolthe mountains and of a geolog
ical formation not altogether dissimilar.
An artesian well in the centre of our
public square might not only supply
Charlotte with an abundance of the
purest water, but would also be a thing
of beauty to look upon, bursting cool
and spanning irom tne eartn.

night. An explosion instantly followed
and fire issued from every part. In
half an -hour the mill and its entire

blown through doorways and windows,
receiving serious and perhaps fatal in
juries. The fire spread to the city oil
works-and toward the house containing
rosin and turpentine. About seventy
men were employed in the mill, all of
whom, it is said, are accounted for, but
Several are badly burned. Loss on the

A Fearful San ab Up and a aiLracu
ious Escape ef Pawcsrcn.
Oodensburg, N.-Y, August 18. A
terrible accident occurred on the Grand
Trunk Railway at 8.30 o'clock this
morning, which resulted in the in
stant death of the engineer and the
serious wounding of the fireman, bag
gagemaster, two express messengers
and various injuries to a number of
passengers.
The train was the 10 p. m. express
from Montreal to Toronto and consist
ed of six Pullman sleepers, four first
and second class oars, a postal express
and baggage car. The cars were well
filled with returning excursionists from
Montreal wno were nearly an asleep.
The train arrived at Prescott's Junc
tion on time and the Ottawa sleeper
was there attached to it. After leav
ing Prescott there is a down grade and
soon the train was going fast. An ob
struction was encountered and the lo
comotive jumped the track carrying
the tender, baggage, mail, express,
smoking and two sleeping cars with it.
They ran on the ties fully a thousand
yards, when the engine went down an
embankment, the tender passing by to
gether with the express car and land
ing on the other side of the track. The
baggage car went still further on and
the body was thrown off alongside a
fence. In fact, every car except, the
sleepers was thrown upside down.
The express car was smashed into
kindling wood, while nothing remains
of the tender but a few pieces of iron.
It is truly wonderful how the passen
gers escaped instant death. When the
passengers recovered from their fright,
search was made for those Who occu
pied the forward cars. The engineer,
John A. Howarth, of Montreal, was
found with his arm around the whistle
of the locomotive, having blown it
twice before he was killed ; the fireman,
Wm. Taylor, of Montreal, was discov
ered in a field alive but insensible.
Robert Scarlett, of Montreal, baggage-
master, was also insensible out soon
recovered. His shoulder was disloca
ted and his arm sprained. How the two
express messengers, Arthur King, of
Toronto, and Wm. MacKenie, of
Hamilton, escaped with their lives is a
mystery. Their car was crushed to
splinters, .andMacKenzie, though in
jured himself, rescued his partner.
Both were injured internally. The
second class passengers were badly
shaken up. They escaped through the
windows of the upset cars. A French
woman threw her two children through
a window, first breaking it with her
hands, cutting herself severely. S. P.
Hair, of Col ton, Mich., was injured in
the. back and internally. Others sus
tained sprains and bruises. How there
occurred so few casualties is inexpli
cable, seeing toe condition or. tne
wreck. The accident was caused by a
cow. v
Report ef tne inspector of Steam Ven
ae Is.
Washington, August 13. The su
pervising inspector-general of steam
vessels reports that during the fiscal
year 1880-'81, there were 168 lives lost
of passengers and crews upon the mer-
cnant steam vessels or tne unitea
States from explosions, fires, collisions,
snags, shipwrecks, accidental drown
ings and miscellaneous causes. Among
those lost by shipwreck are included
- tne victims or tne disasters or tne City
of Vera Cruz and City of Alpena 128
persons, compared with previous
vears there has been an increase of 83
in the number of lives lost.
. New Orleans Outlook.
New Orleans, August 13. The cot
ton market has exhibited very little life
so far as tne spot Dusmess is concerned,
and thougn advances from other cotton
markets nave been rather unfavorable,
prices are well maintained. Futures
have also been quiet, though values
have been advanced some, quotations
being below 8 to 15 points better. In
financial circles the position is more in
accord with the- usual summer dull
ness, but all kinds of securities are held
with confidence and offered sparingly.
Int the line of provisions and bread
stuffs, business while fair for the sea
son, is of moderate proportions. The
weather has been propitious for rice,
and the crop promises to be a large one.
The suirar cron is nro&rressine well.
though it is not thought that the yield
can nearly equal that of last year un-
ter any circumstances, rne receipts
of train for the week are 180.000 bush
els for export.
