THE ATLANTIC AND GREAT
WESTERN CANAL.

This gigantic project is thus al
luded to in the report of Col. Frobel
recently submitted to the General
Assembly of Georgia. The feasibil-
ity of its construction is plain and it
will no doubt be built:
By looking at the map, you will
see that the Tennessee and Coosa
Rivers approach each in the vicini-
ty Of Gun.ersville and Gads9en,
leaving only narrow neck of land,
some 80 miles wide, between them
across this isthmus it is proposed to
cut a canal connecting these two
rivers. This canal would at once
open navigation from Mobile up the
Alabama and Coosa rivers into the
Tennessee River and from thence,
on the one hand, into the Mississip-
pi, and on the other up the Tennes-
see and Holston Rivers into West
ern Virginia, East Tennessee and
Kentucky. 1t would also open I'M
interrupted navigation at all seasons
of the year from St. Louis and all
other points on the Mississippi Riv-
err and its tributaries to Rome, Geor-
gia, giving a water communication
between all these States unmenaced
in peace and safe in war, and the
whole of this accomplished by a
canal only thirty miles in length.
Says the distinguished Commodore
Maury, in speaking of this canal:
III am not aware that any surveys
have been made for a canal across
this isthmuS, but let its topography
be ever so difficult, the work is ma
tional necessity, and therefore, soon
err or later, it must be built. The
practicability Of all other parts and
links of this route has been demon
strated by actual survey. A corps
of U. S. Engineers is, at the national
expense, now improving the naviga-
ton Of the Tennessee River for
steamers Of $50 tons, from its mouth
to Chattanooga, at an estimated cost
of $4,000, 940 So" fgsaH1n 454 l7a
We have already shown that it
needs canal, only some thirty
miles long, to connect the rivers of
Georgia with the waters of the Mis-
sissippi, and extend navigation to
Rome, Georgia. Let us turn to the
map and we will see that from Rome
the route would ascend the Etowah
River, a bold stream, whose broad
and level valley affords the very
best and cheapest location for a
work of this kind. This valley ex-
tends up Little River, a tributary to
the Etowah, and thence along one of
its branches, Rocky creek, to the
dividing ridge between the waters
of the Etowah and Chattahoochee
Rivers. The ridge hero is but few
hundred feet wide and with an ele-
walton of about $50 feet above low
water mark at Macon, and here a
practical route may be found at the
nearest point of contact between
Rocky Creek and Long Branch.
From this point, the canal would
pass along the ridge, which is direct
and uniform, and Interrupted at
one point only by the passage loi
Vickory's Creek, until it reaches
the Chattahoochee in the vicinity Of
Warsaw and Duluth here the lat.

features for the location of an aque.
duct, the dividing ridge being mar
row and approaching closely to the
river, which forces its way through
a narrow gorge. From Sewanee tc

THE ENGLISH LAND QUESTION,

One of the most difficult and troublesome
questions now before the English people
is that of the unequal distribution of
land in that country. From the Stats
teal record it appears that there are now
not more than $1,000 landed proprietors,
and that they are diminishing every
year.
With o population of over %, 900, 900,
and only 80, 900 of that number the pro-
prietors of the land within the territory
known as England and Wales, is it
strange that there should be discomfort
and dissatisfaction? The political econo-
mists there are seeking the solution of
the problem as to how they may bring
about a change. 1t is the most perplex-
ing of any with which they have had to
grapple, and bids fair to shake the
English government from centre to cir
conference. 1t is the one great rock
upon which constitutional monarchy of
old England, with all its laws of land
tenure, hereditary possessions and primo
geniture, may yet be broken to pieces.
Mr.. John Stuart Mill, who is we'll
known as a great political reformer and a
member of Parliament, is at the head of
the movement for the reformation of the
land laws of England. A league has been
organized, and before it Mr.. Mill recently
delivered an address which has given rise
to discussion and controversy among the
people and the prominent journals of
England. The Times, true to its aristo-
cratic instincts, sneers at the movement,
and says if a man wants land, he had
better emigrate to the colonies. This is
neither wise nor conciliatory language to-
ward the burden bearing people of that
country. What they only suggest now,
one day they will have the power to en-
force, in spite of the Jovine shafts hurled
at them by the Thunderer. 1t will not be
long before this business of land owner
ship and land division will become a par
liamentary question, transferred from the
league and hustings to the two houses of
Parliament. 1t is the struggle between
the democracy and the %aristocracy, and
the result can not long be doubtful when
millions are on the one side and a few
thousands on the other. The figures
which show the true condition of things
in respect to the landed estates of Eng
land, and the fearful d~isproportion be-
tween the land holders and the laborers,
is not at all pleasing to the British states
men, who see in it more of danger to
their country than they care to meet.
It is said that landed estates, such as
they have been under the laws of
England since the Norman and Sax
NJ rule, tend to increase, and the num-
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-07-01

Der of land owners to diminish.
as is shown by the statement that there
are ten thousand less landed proprietors
now than there were eight hundred years
ago. 1t is obvious that such a state OF
things constitutes a real danger to the
country. The increase of the population
then requires that something should be
done for the support of that population,
and there is no better means than afford
ing to them land to cultivate. Unless
this is done emigration is the conse-
quence, and q country which loses its
people becomes poorer. Mr.. Mill, in his
system of land reform, proposes that the
government shall take all the land at pres
ent uncultivated, and, after compromising
the owners thereof, dispose of it on SOME
system to be devised for the encourage
ment either of small owners or of cooper
alive associations of laborers. The waste
lands of England are said to be quite ex-
tensiye, but they are SO difficult OF cult1-
walton that it is highly improbable that
Mr.. Mills suggestion will meet with much
encouragement. very grave obstacle to
land improvement in England is pre-
scented in the difficulty under the English
laws of disposing of his interest by any
IL of land for a term of years or for
life when he has become hopelessly en-
h rroccad Tho 1awS of entail prevent
alienation in fee, and there is no rule by
which the value of a life interest may be
ascertained. Besides, the land in that coun-
try, for the most part, is not in the hands
of rroprietors, who are conducting their
W affairs, as is done in this country.
The moment that the people Of England
are fully informed as to the difference be-
tween the tenure of land holding of their
country and this, we shall have large ac-
cessions to our population OF a class of
farmers and a~griculturists who will add
largely to our wealth and The
London Times, and all who are in accord
with its affected Indifference to such Or
CARNATIONS as the land reform leagues,
may, some day, have reason to regret the
advice it gives to those who want land.
There is room here and to spare for the
landless of all lands, come when and how
they may, and to the honest, industrious
and worthy there will be, as there always
has been, a hearty and cordial welcome.
