Death of Secretary Rawiins.

General Raw lins. Secretary OF War,
died in Washington Yesterday afternoon,
at few minu.es past four O'Clock. He
passed away quietly. aud apparently
without pain. The following despatch
had just been read 10 him from General
.Sheriden, dated Chicago. September ..
and addressed 10 General Sherman:
:'Will YOU please give nv love TO Raw
lins All the officers here send their
love 10 him
With scarcely breath to speak, General
Rawlins said: General Sheriden is
very kind. | appreciate and am grateful
for his kindness. Ii the love OF my
friends could do it, would soon be a
healthy man"
A dispatch from Attornev-General
Hoar was also read To the diving man,
AZ follows: .If General Rawlins il liv-
ing, convey to him the assurance OF my
respect and affection, and OF the sorrow
with which learn the condition OF
friend so highly valued-a man 30 up
right, able and faithful. God bless and
keep him."
Upon hearing this, the Secretary
said with great emotion: Il am very
grateful to the Attorney-General for his
love, and wish YOU to say so to him."
During the day the Secretary had
often expressed strong desire TO see
President Grant, asking: when will
he come! and fearing that he would not
live until he arrived.
Soon after the death of Secretary Raw
lins his body was embalmed and dressed
in the uniform OF MaJor-General.
Colonel l.. NJ. Dayton, Chief of General
Sherman's staff and Captain Il. p. John
son, Of the Medical Department, sat up
with the corpse last night.

from Baltimore at :l2 O'Clock. and was
met at the Station by General Sherman.
lie at once proceeded to the residence
of General Giles A. Smith, where he
learned that Secretary Rawlins had died
an hour be'ore. The President was
much affected while gazing upon the
liieIess form of his friend. aud ex pressed
deep regret that. owing to the monde
livery of telegrams at Saratoga, he was
prevented from sooner starting for
Washington.
On returning to the Executive Man
sion, the President sent the following
despatch to General Rawiins's wife:
Mrs. Mary f.. Rariins, Danbury,
Conn.
"Your beloved husband expired ut
twelve minutes after four o'clock this
afternoon. tn be mournei bv family
and friends who loved him for his per-

How to Develop our Water Power

Mr.. Wells first relates the history
Of The "kcnnehec Dam" enterprise at
Augusta shown how the construc-
ton of the Dam hai absorbed all the
capital available for improvements.
50 that nearly the whole water power
remained unused for thirty wears, with
NJ prospect Of Improvement, until the
city procured the necessary legislative
authority, purchased the water power
ard appurtenant property and trans
ferred it % the Spragues. He then goes
on to show the result, Indicate the les
son to be learned from it and recon-
mend general policy for all ourt wns
having undeve oped water power -
The legitimate result of this bo.i
stroke are now beginning to be realiz-
ed. The Old cotton mill, completely
remodeled, is to be starte anew, Oct.
lst, with $4,000 spindles Tile new
mill, now building, will set 20 900 SPIN
dies i'll motion III a year. The third
mill, for which preparations are max
Ing, vii operate $4,000 spindlcs; the
fourth 10000 spindIcs and in ldtio1
to these great weaving shop i. to be
erected, employing large number Of
hands.
Here Is the equivalent of 1870, 900
spindles in immediate prospect. This
means an annual product of about So.
100000 IN manufactures, an addition
Of 10000 to the population, and quad
rupling Of the general trade and busi-
ness of the city. With this in the ac-
u /! process of realization, it cannot
lie douLt ii that the city, with its chang
ed prospects, i already richer by one
million of dollars, in return for its in
vestmcnt of quarter million.
Now in all this there is a lesson to
other towns possessed of large water
power. Few of these have capital or
experience at home, adequate to the
proper development of their power.
To each it would be an inestimable
benefaction for parties of requisite skill
and means to come in and lay their
hands to the development of the pow
err To secure this the towns should

Augusta has shown how much can bo
safely ventured. Perhaps none will be
compelled TO risk SO much for towns
can in general take stronger securities
against failure or loss, than were insist
ed upon by Augusta.
Nothing that the State can do, moth
ing that it is the power of individuals
to do will bring our large water-powers
into 50 marketable a shape. into con-
dition SO ripe for improvement, as for
the towns interested to get them in pos
