"most feasible plan to secure that end was
to provide direct and continuous line of
water communication between the Missis-
sippi river and the Atlantic ocean, IN lat
audc favorable tsthe safe carriage of graa,
IN bulk, and yet comparatively free from,
obstruction by frost - and that such
communication, they believed, could be
secured most readily By the Ohio, Kaaa,cla,
and James ripers."
We are confident that the sagacity of
these farmers west of the Mississippi, and
far to the north of the central grain belt
more Immediately tributary to our great
natural water line, will not escape such
intuitively quick and far-reaching minds as
Senators Casserly and Bayard, now inspect
ing this important line of improvement,
will bring to the aid of the Congressional
committee having the question under con-
sideration. This great central water line
must, when completed, result in saving
to the grain producers and other produc-
ing classes of the West-in the difference
of cost for transportation, such as we have
given, and in marine risks considered extra
hazardous) upon the upper lakes-of not
Tess than Secemy.Jfce or one hundred millions
of dollars a year. What other argument
need be used to commend the work to the
national government?

OUR thanks are due to the Hon. James
B. Sener for a copy of the report to the
navy department of the explorations and
surveys for ship canal by way of the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec to connect the two
oceans, made under the direction of the
Secretary of the Navy. and prepared for
the press by Captain Robert w. Shufeldt
of the United States Navy. The work is
one of great interest and value to the
scientific and engineering portion Of our
people. and can hardly fail to attract the
attention of the commercial world.

Immigration,

The Liverpool Daily Post, of April the
18th, under the head of "Great Exodus
from Liverpool has an article on the OPEN
ing of the emigration season, from which
it would appear that, although the first
quarter of 1873 showed a slight decrease
in the returns of emigration from Liver
pool, "the great outflow since the COM
mcncement of the regular season indicates
that the present spring will witness the
departure Of many thousands more people
than during very many years past" The
decrease in the early part of this year was
mainly owing to the diminution of
foreign emigrants, but since the
beginning of April the influx of
this elass-from Germany, Sweden.
Norway, Denmark, and Alsace-has been
unprecedentedly large. Formerly, Irish
emigrants used to embark at Liverpool |;
now they prefer to go on board at Cove
Queenstown, in the south, or Londonder-
ry, in the north of Ireland. 1t is added !:
1.-The large proportion of English agricul-
taral taborers nop emigrating as an unusual
feature, and the arrangements Of the lead
ing steamship companies for the ensuing
two months include the deportation of
small colonies Of labores and artisans
from the the south of England.p In four
days april 18th to 18th inclusive) twelve
transatlantic steamers and one clipper,
laden with emigrants, had sailed from the
Mersey to the land of promise-the New,
World.

WE regret that other and more impor-
tant matters politically considered should
have so engaged the attention OF our lead
ing state officials. that no one should have
been present from Virginia at the great
farmers convention at Indianapolis, and
that no communication should have been
received of sufficient Importance to attract
the attention of that body, now so tho
roughly in earnest in considering the ques-
ton of cheap transportation between the
West and the Atlantic seaboard. In this
convention, the proceedings of which have
been briefly given by telegraph, it seems
that the first project named was that Of con-
Meeting the lakes with the Mississippi, Ohio
and James rivers, and thence to the Allan
tic; but Virginia had no prominent person
there to speak even q sword Of promise to
the ear" though Governor Smith, Of
Georgia, wrote long letter, which was
read before the convention, discussing the
question of water or cheap transporta-
ton, and informing that body that a
meeting of governors and prominent citi-
zens would be held at Atlanta, in that
state, on the twenty-frst instant, to con-
slider the project of connecting the Ten
nessee with the Ochmulgee rivers, making
Savannah the objective commercial point,
by route said to have been surveyed by
distinguished engineers and found eminent
ly feasible. mas
We have read the fable of the tortoise
and hare. and in how many thousand in
stances of public, and even ordinary COM
mon life, is it applicable to the conduct oil
men. Many battle has been lost by the
commanding general stopping to pick an
Insignificant silver out of his finger, or in
failing to give the decisive order at the
moment victory hung tremblingly in the
balance. We have got some live men in
Virginia, and those of far reaching sagacity
too. Let them come promptly to the
front, and order all laggards and stragglers
| to the rear.
