In 1 our opinion the most important railroad to Selma and Dallas county, is that leading directly to Mobile and to New Orleans. The Selma and Memphis road and the Selma and Gulf road having been put on a sound basis for completion, leaves the Selma and New Orleans road os the only great line to le put under contract. The great line from New York via Knoxville to Selma must find a direct outlet to the Gulf and New Orleans, otherwise the line via Chattanooga to Meridian will be the direct line to New Orleans. There is an air line road being built from Charlotte, N. to Atlanta A most Inlportunt Enterprise.

During the week ending the 21st of August, there assembled at the Virginia White Sulpber Springs, a convention com posed of distinguished gentlemen from different portions ofthe country who had been deputed by the National Board of Trade, whicli met last December at Cin-cinuatti to inquire and report concerning a water line to connect tbe waters of tho Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi river through the State of Virginia. This convention made a through enjuiry into the subject and had tjie advise and opinions of able engineers and men familiar with the topography of the country through which tbe line would have to run.

poi-t Our readers all probably remember to have read at the time, the published account of the rescue of some drowning soldiers by Msss Ida Lewis, whose father keeps the Light House in Newport Harbor. This young lady has shown herself to be a real heroine on several occasions, and has really become famous and justly so. Miss Lewis has had great deal of attention paid In licr-Mn, fact enough to turn her head completely if she were not possessed of remarkably good common sense. And she is not one of your strong minded wonfen, she does not attend womans rights convention, but stays at home and attends to her business.

The womens Convention at News port visited1 Ida Lewis on Friday and found her helping her mother at the folk, and the line from here to Montgomery will soon be completed which will give us a direct communication with Charleston and Savannah and there is a line of road projected and partly built from Brunswick, Georgia, via Eufaula and Greenville to Selma. AU these roads concentrating here will need an outlet to New Orleans, the great city of the South west.

And it is strange, passing strange, that the peopleof New Orleans take no interest in this road. And the people of Selma and Dallas county take little or no interest In it either, judging lrom he late vote of Selma, and the action of the county Jbuthorities on tbe proposition to submit the question of a subscription of stock to the road to. the vote of the people. Now unless we help ourselves no one will likely aid us. With a hundjed thousand dollars from the country and city, there is no doubt in a tew days the road to New Orleans could be put under contract to the State line.

We speak advisedly. But if the people do not want the road, of course it will not be bnilj- In order to get the benefit ot the State aid we must build 20 miles by the 16th February, 1870, which would take the road beyond Orrville through and into one of the most fertile regions of the State, Shall it be done It depends on the people ol Selma and Dallas county. We are satisfied that the Board of Directors will do all they can to forward this great enterprise, which will develop more wealth and prosperity in Selma and Dallas county than any which has heretofore been projected- Marengo.

7b My United States and World-Wide Readers. I have received many testimonials front professional and medical men, as my almanacs I and various publications have shown, all 1 which are genuine. The following from a highly educated and popular physician In Georgia, is certainly one of the most sensible communications 1 have ever received-. Dr. Clement knows exactly what he speaks of, amt his testimony deserves to be written in letters of gold.

Hear what the Doctor says of Bull's Worm Destroyer Viulanow Walker June 29th, 1866. Dr. John Bull Bear Sir I lmve recently given yonr Worm Destroyer several trials, and find it wonderfully efficacious. It lias not failed in a single Instance to have the wished effect. I am doing a pretty large country practice, and have dally use for some article of tbe kind.

I am free to confess that I know oi no remedy recommended by the ublest author that I so certain and speedy in Its effcots. On the contrary they are uncertain In the extreme, object in writing you is to findout upon terms lean get the medicine directly frm you. It I can get it upon easy terms, 1 shall use a great deal of ft. I aril aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the cachings and practice of a great majority of the regular line of M. D.s, but I see no jost cause or gbod sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be efficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its combination.

For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate Buffering humanity which 1 may be tble1 to command not hesita-I ting because some one more ing onions than myself may have learned its effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However, I am by no means an advocate or supporter ol tbe thousands ot worthless nostrums that flood tin: country, that purport to cure all marine of I disease to which linpian flesh is heir.

D. JUST ARRIVED wash-tub. ard escape from the New York Tombs, by gales to the womans rights Convention then in session'at Newport. These ladies went to see Miss Lewis expecting to enlist-her in the so-ealled cause of womans rights, but from what they found when they got to her house we think it probable they concluded to abandon the at-? tempt, jsuii-' And to their apparent disgust they found this girl, Who had done such service in the cause of humanity, who had actually by her own unaided exertions saved several lives, engaged in assisting her mother at the wash-tub." An ax-ample was offered to these spouting brawlers, these masculine women, by Miss Lewis, which if followed by them would be of far more benefit to their families and their sex than every convention that will be heldjn the uext ten years. The women of the land have, we admit, very great grievances which call loudly for redress, but the disgusting, fareical, riotous meetings, called womans rights conventions, will never effect any thing for the true cause of woman.

There is today, in all aectiQiis of the country, save in the froutier settlements, vast numbers of women who derive a precarious living from the limited number ot pursuits now open to them, and which are already crowded to repletion. in the South there are thousands that have been reduced to poverty by the war, whose only resort is keeping boardinghouses and doing needle work. The number now engaged in these occupations is too large, and the result of it is that the business is over done and in many instances failure is the result. And it is our duty to open to the needy unemployed ladies of the country avenues to all work to which they are peculiarly suited, by which they may obtain an honorable living. In all trades and occupations suitable to them, ndw carried on by men, ought not ladies to be substituted in their places 1 Would it not in a great measure afford the desired relief If these conventions would strike at these things and let the ballot box alone they would get at the right method for the relief of thousands of poor, helpless, deserving and unemployed ladies in the country, We never wish to see the time come wlien our ladies shall go to the ballot box, for they will then become un sexed in all the attributes that now renders woman lovely.

Let us employ other means for their amelioration than giving into their bands the ballot, for that will never accomplish it. Tbe Labor Question. We fully concur with our able contemporary of the Wilmington Journal when he says, this problem for American states men is one in tbe solution of which all are interested. We have a country stretch ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean and reaching from the Torrid to the Frigid zone. In this vast region we have population of not over forty millions of human beings scattered over its entire Cx tent, which is nnsurpasseS in capacity for production, whether agricultural or min eral, with inestimable power for manufacturing purposes.

American enterprise has penetrated every portion of the continent, and nothing is now lacking but human labor to bring to utility the unmeasurable resources of the country. Immense has been the immigration from different parts of Europe, and it will continue to flow, from the same sources, but unfortunately in not sufficient quantities, and only in the same direction which it has heretofore taken.

HEWS NL.nniRY. yesterday in New Gold closed fowarded to the National Board ot Trade at its next annual session which will take place at Richmond the coming winter. The project contemplates uniting the waters ofthe Kanawa and James riven by a continuation of the present James Aver canal, through the Blue Ridge Mountains, some seventy-five miles. The James river canal is already completed and in use to the town of Buckhanan at the base of tbe Blue Ridge and tbe' (list ancefrom that place to Greenbriar river a tributary of the Kanawa which empties into the Ohio, is only some seventy-five miles. The prelect js feasible and it is said can be com pteted within four years, and for a sum not exceeding $40,000,000,000.

The present canal is to a great extent owned by the State of Virginia and has been built ata cost of some $12,000,000, and it is confidently stated) that, jf the United States Government will build the seventy-five miles of canal from Bnchan-ateto Greenbriar river and make it a public highway, the State of Virginia Would acquire full title to the James river canal and donate it as a gift to the nation. The completion of this seventy-five miles of canal would at once place the Atlantic sea board in communication by water with tbe great rivers ot the West without going into the Gulf of Mexico aqd around the Florida coast, and tbe city of St. Louis would be then only 1,553 miles from Norfolk, and the time required to make this distance would be eleven days. The whole distance of slack water navigation from tide water at Richmond to the mouth of the Kauawa is Stated to be 482 rpiles, and from thence to St. Louis by the Ohio and Mississippi rivers is 946 miles tbe argument offered in favor of the canal in tbe report is as follows As the country bordering upon the Lakes becomes settled, the breadth of land cultivated becomes greater, and the increased production of this region monopolizes the capacity of the canal.

The grain of the country, at a distance, is cut off from this great avenue of trade by the trade that is produced nearer, which rushes in and occupies the canal. The great railroads which cross the Appalachian, chain are overtasked, having as much as they can possibly do in transporting freight lighter and more valuable than the heavy farm, mineral and forest produce of tne West. The lower Mississippi and Gulf route is very circuitous as to the products ot a large portion of the interior, and the pilotage and insurance charges and the heating which grain undergoes, all render the rente objectionable to trade. The quantity of produce which the West couid spare, if freights were cheap enough and tbe capacity ot existing lines great enough to draw it out and carry it to market, is now estimated to be tons. The quantity of this tonage which actually goes to market is not twelve and a half millions.

The movement of tonnage is stopped either by high charges of freightage or by deficient capacity in the existing avenues of transportation to bear the produce off to the sea-board. The increasing amount of produce which the West has to spare constantly presses unduly upon the means of transportation. This undue pressure grows rather than diminishes. The causes of the augmentation are three-fold. Population is increasing in the West with a rapidity unexampled in the history of the human race.

There is not only the natural increase, but also -OF P. WBLCH, M. Jl. KBJTH. WELDH KEITH, COTTON IBROKERS.

C. S. Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and Arrival la Washington of a Caban Prisoner; A Washington dispatch states that Dr. Simonds, a native of New York, but for many years past a resident of Havana, arrived at Washington a few days since direct from Havana. The Doctors statement, if true, presents a very clear case for prompt and decided action by the United States Government.

It appears that he was seized by ths Spanish authoiities at Havana on suspicion of being engaged in the insurrection and thrown into prison. After being detained for seven months he was released through the intervention of Consul General Plumb. While Dr. Simonds was in prison his property was seized and destroyed by the Spaniards, his money in bank attached and he is now left poor. His treatment was of the most barbarous character, and he narrowly escaped being shot by the squad of volunteers by whom he was constantly guarded.

He is in Washington for the purpose of appealing to the Administration for the intervention ofonr Government in his behalf. The duty of our Government is very clear, and we have no doubt that the proper means will be used to ascertain the truth or falsity of the Doctors statements, and that the Spanish authorities will be called upon to rectify all wrongs that have been done Dr. Simonds. -lino main lortli side and jy repaired and refitted, and has an iron roof.

dtf that which is produced by immigration from foreign countries and from the Atlantic States. Production is shown to increase in the same ratio with population. The railroad system of the Mississippi and lake valleys has reached 17,622 miles in total length and this vast network of roads is stimulating production in every part of the interior. The steamboat navigation ofthe Mississippi and its waters sum up a total of 16,500 miles. The transportation systems of the interior States is therefore 34,000 miles in total length, the stimulus it imparts to production is very great.

The navigation system of the interior of the continent has its center near the mouth of the Ohio. Within convenient distances from there, debouche all the great branches of the Mississippi. Due east of this center, almost, is Norfolk, the central harbor and the finest harbor on the seaboard, with the approacbesfrom the ocean to be found along the Atlantic. These centers seem to have been made for each other. To unite them by continuous navigation it is only necesary to make seventy-five miles in Virginia, between tne arms of the James and Kanawa rivers.

Cut this canal and tbe Mississippi river, and its vast system of navigation is, commercially speaking, emptied into Hampton Roads. The advantages of water transportation are, first, its cheapness, the cost on canals being only five mills per ton per mile, while the lowest cost On railroads is fifteen mills a fact which enables canals to bring grain to market from regions at least twice as remote a9 those reached by railroads. Water transportation transmits a greater quantity of produce than is possible by railroads.

Abundance of lador cheap, skilled labor-will multiply produce will cheap en necessaries of life it will also cheapen wages, but not in the ratio that it will the former. Politicians and capitalists have said it was necessary to protect American industry by a high tariff. See the working of the policy.

Are the laboring classes benefited! The rich grow richer, the poor poorer. Bring labor. Let it come. It must come. The producing power must be increased or the country is a wreck.

We must send more abroad more money must come, but it can come only by producing more, and that can be done only by more labor.
