AUGUSTA, GA, June 13-Mr. Barnett, the
government engineer, and Frank Blsisdell,
agent for Anderson u Blaisdell, of Boston,
the contractors, will go up the Savannah
river tomorrow morning for the purpose of
removing distractions from the channel
They will blast out the rocks with dyna-
mite, and will continue the work as long as
the appropriation ($25, ,OOO) holds out Il is
General Gillmore's intention also to improve
the river between here and Savannah.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will
this week make proposition to the Drec-
tors of the Augusta and Knoxville for the
control of the latter road. The proposition
has not yet been made, but it is said it will
be very favorable to Augusta. The people
here are much in favor of the Baltimore
and Ohio getting the road instead OF the
Clyde combination, and it is very probable
that such will be the result
Hickory Jack, the noted trotting stallion,
who trotted on all the race courses in this
country and in England and France, died
here to day.
