On the 20th instant the Governors of the Southern and Western States have promisr ed to meet in Atlanta to consider the ways and means for perfecting a project for con necting the Mississippi and the Atlantic ocean by inland water communication. The route which the Convention will be called upon specially to considir, is thir . . Vx.i teen hundred and thirty-three miles in ten hundred and thirty-three of which are b.y river and the remaining three hundred by canal and slack water uaviga ton. This route has already been surveyed by distinguished officers of the Engineer Corps of t he Lriiited States Array, and the project declared to be feasible. It begins at the mouth of the Ohio river, following the Ohio to the Tennessee-; lip the Tennessee, passing Muscle Shoals, to the mouth of Short Creek, two miles and a half below Guntersville, Alabama; from the mouth of Short Creek, by canal and slack water navigation, across Sand Mountain and down the vallev of Well's Creek to its junction with the Coosa, two miles and a half below (radsden ; up the Uoosa to Kome, Georgia ; from Home, by canal and slackwater navigation, up the valley of the Etowah and Little rivers, across the Chat tahoochee plateau ; down the Yellow and Ocmulgee rivers to Macon ; thence, continu ing down the Ocmulgee to the Altamaha, and down the Altamaha to the sea. Na ture has alreadv, by magnificent rivers, opened nearly twelve hundred miles of free and uninterrupted navigation between the city of St. Louis and the Atlantic ocean along this line, and all that is now necessa ry to complete this entire line is to connect the Tennessee and Coosa, and the Coosa aud Ocmulgee rivers by canals. We are told iu the report of the chief engineer that the former of these connections involves the cutting of a canal thirty' miles in length, and the latter a canal of one hun dred and fifty-eight miles. We thus find that the cutting of one hundred and eighty eight miles of canal will at once open a line of navigation between the city of St. Louis, one ot the great centers ol the trade ol the est, a distance of fifteen hundred miles to the sea. The West now possesses about thirty-five thousand miles of inland trans portation ; more than half of this is water, and all will be brought into direct connec tion with the Atlantic ocean by this great work. J he area ot country embracing this vast system of railways and of navigation is nearly two millions square miles, and when the population of this extensive coun try reaches an average of fifty persons to the square mile, it will contain one hundred million people, whose leading industry will be agriculture. The immediate object of the Convention is to institute such measures as mav be proper and necessary to bring the matter to the attention of Congress. It is, of course, appropriation or donation for this work from Congress. All that it is intended to ask, is simply that the Government shall ce the interest upon a limited amount of the bonds of a comuanv to be formed for the purpose of constructing the great work. The company is first to con struct ten consecutive miles of the canal and then to give this to the United States as security for any risk the Government may take in endorsing a guarantee for the payment of interest upon a number of bonds sufficient to build the next ten miles, and so on until the work is completed. War Preparations Notwithstanding the millennial auguries of the peace-loving prophets, the present preparations of the crowned heads of the earth -are not particularly assuring. In Russia the Czar has enormously increased his army withiu the year, and is now arm ing his Cossacks with the most vicious breech-loading short rifles. Armament of all calibres is being procured and ports and strongholds fortified. The British Govern-1 nient has appropriated more millions, this year, than usual for the construction of sea monsters of prodigious proportions and frightful power, its army, too, has been increased, and the most murderous of the mitrailleuse, the Martini rifle, has been ordered iu unstinted quantities. In France, the Government have the workshops crowd ed with men manufacturing the chassepot and mitrailleuse. nihi. Mill"! flflV rVM 1 urkish Government, unable to do its own manufacturing, has ordered a larfe suin.lv of Henry rifles from Providence, ami work is being pushed ou them with all dispatch. The Germans, having discarded the needle gun, uae nrnerei a million ot a new pat t i .... tern, much like the chassepot, aud it is es- utnaicu mat at the end of the next twelve months the world will have an average of nine guns to every able-bodied man on the globe. At home, our own Government is making arrangements for the completion of gunsas destructive and death-dealing as the Gatling, and our navy is to be strength ened to a considerable extent. Really this does not seem like a prospective era of peace. Making thk Uxitko Status a V EXAL Skttlemkxt. We are informed, through a dispatch trom JJaltimore, that five Alge rian chiefs, who had been tried in France and sentenced to the penal colony of Cayenne for life, had arrived iu that city, having been released on the condition that they would go to the United States. It is an outrage of international comity for any European or other foreign government to send, even in such au iiidiiect manner, its criminals to this country.

Once, the energies of a .Massachusetts girl were bent on securing a iiusbantt; now they are given to getting a living. Once the young men of the Old Bay State turned their attention to agri culture and trade at home, but nowadays they sell out their farms as soon as the old folks are dead, and go West to build rail roads and concoct Credit Mobiliers. They do not so much as take a wife with them, but leave the maidens with whom they went hand in hand to school, to live in sin gle loneliness and earn their own living. Thus, year by year, the roll of unmarried women increases, and the prospect for hus bands grows more gloomy. Girls that might become radiant through motherhood, grow selfish and soured in mind, and wither and diappear like the leaves of November. The native population of Massachusetts higs far behind the foreign, and statisticians grow appalled. But the fault is not with the women, but is due to circumstances and perhaps prejudice. I use the word prejudice, because I un derstand there is a movement on foot among the women of Lowell to petition the Legis lature or, strictly speaking, to present their grievances on the subject of matri mony. For some days there have been ru mors of this matter flying around the com munity, and I have been at some pains to trace them out. In doing so, I have been struck with the fact that men and women speak freely now on topics that were tabooed ten years ago. Even the most refined wo men will talk interestedly and unreservedly of marriage, love, social evil, and all the questions which pertain to the relations of the sexes, lhere seems to be a fermenta tion beneath the surface which will break out oeiore long in an open movement to wards larger liberty for both man and wo man. This is only my surmise : but that it may not appear to be merely a piece of guess work-, l semi you a copy of the docu ment above mentioned. It is one of the most remarkable papers of the period. It comes, too, at a strange time, when Mor- nionism seems to be yielding to monoganiic pressure from without, and Salt Lake" City is preparing to accept the higher civiliza tion ol the East. Yet in this connection it must not be forgotten that a work on polygamy was published in Boston some years ago, and was greeted with words of approval by some of the most eminent men of the seaboard States, including Mr. George William Curtis, of vonr i-it.v Ti. c,i j J .iiv v v )PV prepared for submission Legislature : Lowell, April, 1873. To the Honorable the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of the Commonwealth of Massachu setts : 1 he undersigned, citizens of the State, lespect iu ly set fourth the grievances under which they suiter as women who are not permitted to vote, hold any and all offices, and tions opened to men, and are otherwise restricted in the opportunity of earning a living, and here with beg yoor permission to suggest the remedy for these evils, upon which they pray your honor able body to act. The law which now governs society. says, practi cally, that women should be married, should en gage in work at their own homes, and should look to their husbands for support. On the other hand the census shows that it is impossible to carry out this unwritten but recognized law, for the reason that there is a large excess of women in the com monwealth, and many of the men of lawful age are idle, vicious, incompetent or otherwise unlit to be the heads of the households. Yet vour petitioners hold that the matter is not without remedy. Preju dice and custom have decided in favor of restrict ing the husband to a single wife, yet without jus tice or authority, as we believe. In the Book which lies at the foundation of all law recognized in this country, there is no injunction agatnst a pluialityof wives, while there arc man v examples therein recorded in its favor. Men's wives appear to have increased in number in proportion with their flocks and riches. Such a rule even now holds in the laud from which the Christian nations received their religion. Your petitioners have no desire to interfere with the regulations of any existing household, but simply to present their claims to the marriage' state for your respectful consideration. They deem it their privilege and their duty to suggest the aboli tion of the law against the marriage of a man to more than one wife, in cases where it is evident l. man 13 e 10 RUlP"rt lfae additional bur- : upu uis resources. i ney are aware that it may take years to remove prejudices, and that those who take a second or third place in the house hold mav be looked uoon with d d m- a - -mm,, Willi- :nt that their proposed action will ultimately do away with much of the social evil that afflicts and distresses all communities, they are willing to be the first to engage in the work of tais reform Socie ty, which now insist? that woman shall be married and hok to her husband for sunnort will .ft j mature reflection, countenance this etfort to' carry j out its laws practically.
