IN AND ABOUT THE CITY.
THE CENTRAL's AFFAIRS.
Gen. Alexander Talks About Various
Matters.

Gen. Alexander Talks About Various
Matters.
Gen. Alexander Of the Central rail
road has returned home after a trip
over the road to Columbus and Biz
mingham, and was seen yesterday by a
MORNING News reporter, to whom Gen.
Alexander expressed himself pleased with
the improvements being made TO the ter
mlnai properties Of the system at the two
cities mentioned. He says that the pros
poets are good for the business of the Cen
trail and its branches
referring TO the Savannah and Western,
Gen. Alexander says that track laying is
Delng pushed vigorously from both ends of
the line, and the two forces will meet at
fendieton creek. where the bridge work
VIII be constructed from both sides Of that
stream 1t is hoped to have the entire line
open for business May 1, and he added that
the business which will be done over this
road will fully justify its construction.
just at this time Gen. Alexander saws that
he IS much more interested in pushing the
road to an early completion than in antici-
patlng what traffic will flow from it, but he
has been firm advocate of such a line ever
since he has been connected with the Cen
trail. ae
The Central has placed an order for forty
locomotives, which Gen. Alexander says
viii begin to arrive in April, and all are to
be delivered by July l. They will consist
or passenger, freight and switching en-
glnes, and put the Central, Savannah and
western, and other railroad properties of
the Central system in excellent condition
for moving the cotton crop Of the coming
season, and for handling the increasing
business Of the system. Terminal facilities
have been and are now being largely in
creased here and at Macon, Columbus and
Birmingham
Gen. Alexander was asked IL the Central
contemplates extending its lines through
Southern Alabama to junction with the
Louisville and Nashville. and in reply he
said that some extensions are contemplated
IN Southern Alabama, and eventually to d
connection with the Louisville and Nash
vile. but the pla-s have not yet been ma
tured.
Referring to the rumor that the Central
has succeeded to the control Of the Chatta-
nooga, Rome and Columbus road, Gen.
Alexander said there is nothing in it, as no
such deal has been made.
he was not prepared to express
the building Of the Middle Geor-
gia and Atlantic road from Atlanta to Sa-
vannah, saying that all he knows of the
project is what he has read in the papers,
aud he intimated that the accuracy of
their railroad news is often open to ques-
ton.
Gen. Alexander said that there is nothing
in the rumor of the big offer for the Exley
place, which report was IN circulation on
the Bay during Gen. Alexander's absence
last week

CROPS PUTTING OUT.
The Truck Farms Recuperating from
the Cold Spells

The predictions of many of the truck
farmers that yesterday would be freezing
cold, because the three first Sundays of the
month were in cold wave, did not come
true. The day was warm and balmy, the
little frogs croaked all day long, and the
terrapins crawled out and summed them
selves as il it were day in June. Ve9eta-
ton has again put forth, and the rain If
Saturday, aud the warm sun of yesterday.
have had marked effect upon The truck
farms
A MORNING NEWS reporter visited some
OF the truck farms west OF the city yester-
day and found the vegetables growing
finely. New peas are up and in many
places are six inches above the ground.
The potatoes planted just before the freeze
are coming out of the ground, and beans
and cucumberS have dropped the seed and
are two and four leaved, according to loca-
ton, protected spots being the most adj
vanced.
An examination was made of a five-acre
strawberry patch on Maj. G.. NJ. Ryals
place. The vines stood the cold waves re-
markably well, and they have put out new
blossoms fully as prolific as before the
freeze.
Going through the woods the blackberry
vines which skirt the canal were examined,
and all full blooms show that the berry is
blasted, but succeeding buds nearly in
bloom were examined, and the germ has
not been affected by the freeze. With
favorable weather it will be but a short
time until vegetables will be plentiful in
the local nlarket-probably by the middle
of April. The Saturday market so far this
month has been remarkable for the scarcity
OF vegetables and berries.
Mr.. Purvis, who is located here to trans
fer car loed lots Of Florida strawberries to
the steamships for the northern markets.
expects to resume shipments within two
weeks, shipping having been suspended
since March 4, only one car load lot having
been shipped since the freeze of March 3,
and the fruit had been gathered before the
freeze which cut Off the supply.

The appropriation of Aug. II. 1855. was
the first ever made for this work. As soon
as II became availableit was deemed best for
the immediate relief of commerce to expend
| the amount in dredging. 1t was not thought
that the dredged cuts would be self main
| tanning, but the appropriation was not large
enough to begin any other work. Bids for
doing this work were opened Oct Is, 1855
but the prices being deemed too high were
rejected, and the work re-adverused. A
contract for the work was entered into with
Air. r. Sanford Ross Nov IS following.
Dredging was begun on Feb. 4, and termi-
mated on account of exhaustion of funds

An examination of the work was made
last June, and it was then found that the
dredged cuts maintained their depths fairly
well. Some trouble is experienced by large
boats IN making the turn near the mouth
OF the creek, the cut being rather narrow at
that point.
There is sum of only about 500 now
available for this work.
Prior TO the improvement of this place
the low water depth at some places did not
exceed 3 feet, with mean rise and fall of
