Report of J. C. Long, Civil En
gineer, upon the most fa
vorable Route for the At
lantic & Great West
ern Canal.
An Able and Convincing Docu
ment.
i Chattanooga Tima*.
r ". To™ 11 ™™ Fart, Chairman cf Committee of
the Board of trade of the City of Chattanoi-
<ja, i enn.:
Dear Sr*: At your request I submit the
following Report ou the Canal to connect the
lenncssee and Coosa rivers:
There are three routes spoken of for a canal
to connect the above mentioned rifers.
The first known as the Hiwassee route be-
ginning at the mouth of Hiwassee river as
cending that stream by means of slack water
to a point where it approaches very closely to
the Conasauga rivor, thence by canal to the
Conasauga river, and down that stream and
the Oostenanla river by slack water, to the
Coosa river at Rome, Georgia. I will not
consider that route In this article, as it is so
circuitous that it will fall far short of the pur
pose intended, fora canal to connect the above
mentioned rivers, ns a liuk in the Atlantic and
(,reat Western Canal line.
The second, known as the Sand Mountain
route, begins atGuntersville.on the Tennessee
river, and extends by canal and slack water to
Gadsden, on the Coosa river. This route has
recently been surveyed by myself, by direction
of Major Walter McFarland, Corps of Engin
eers, United States Army, and my report
Show* the estimated cost to be $iq 070 aat
To this Major McFarland adds, for in
creasing the capacity of storage, res
ervoirs, and extra cutting in shorten
ing the line, etc 1,500,000 00
ToU1 -j $11,670,607 00
which is the total estimated cost as shown
in Major McFarland’s report, which is pub
lished in the annual report of the Chief of
Engineers to the Secretary of War, for the
year 1872.
Bat probably tha best route for a canal to
make the proposed connection i« by that
known as the Chickamauga route. It has not
yet been surveyed to determine the probable
cost, bat enough is known of the country
through which it passes to make an estimate
with a considerable degree of accuracy. The
improvement would probably begin at the
month of Chickamauga creek on the Tennessee
river, five miles above Chattanooga, passing
up the Chickamanga twelve miles by means of
slack water navigation, thence by canal thir
teen miles farther along the bunks of the
same stream to a point above and near Ring-
gold, Georgia, thence by canal seven miles
across to Cooyehulla creek, thence by canal
along the banks of the creek ten miles* to the
Conasauga river, thence down the Conasauga
and Oostenaula rivers sixty miles by slack
water to the Coosa river at Rome. Georgia.
From the above we see that the distances
by the Chickamauga route from Guntersville,
Ala., to Rome, Ga., are os follows: 135 miles
of river navigation via the Tennessee to the
mouth of Chickamauga creek—72 miles of
slack water navigation and 60 miles of canal
navigation from the mouth of the Chica-
mauga. to Rome. Total from Guntersville,
Ala., to Rome, Ga., via the Chickamauga
ronte, 237 miles.
By the Sand Mountain route the distances
are as follows: Canal navigation and slack-
water navigation from Guntersvilie, on the
Tennessee, to Gadsdeu, on the Coosa river,
miles, river navigation via Coosa river]
from Gadsden to Rome, 135 miles. Total
from Guntersville to Rome, via Sand Moun
tain route, 1861 miles.
This shows that the Sand Monntain ronte
is 51A miles shorter than the Chickamauga
route; but thi9 advantage I propose to show
is more than over-balanced by a great many
advantages possessed by the last Darned route,
some of which I will now enumerate.
First, the great difference in cost The im
provement via Chickamauga, I estimate as
follows:
30 miles of canal trunk, at $50,000 per
.$1,500,400
2.160,000
72 mile* of slack water improvement at
$30,000 per mile
150 feet of lockage ascending summit st
$5,000 per foot 300,000
2u0 feet of lockage descending from summit
at $2,000 per foot 400,000
$4,360,000
Total
A Id 10 per cent, for engineering and
tingeuci es ..7. 436,000
_ Total estimated cost $4,796,000
Estimated cost of Sand Mountain Canal 11,’67(L607
Difference in favor of Chickamauga Canal.... 6,774)907
Second, the abundant supply of water for
the Canal to be obtained at all seasons from
Cooyelenlla and Chickamauga creeks. While
by the other ronte for fonr months of the
year, the necessary supply of water enn only
be obtained from storage reservoirs, at great
expense.
Third, the great difference in lockage,
which is not only an advantage in the re
duced cost, bnt in the saving of time in pass
ing a boat through. By tha Sand Mountain
ronte there is 804 feet of lockage, which,
averaging 10 feet to the lock, makes 80 locks
to be passed Uirongh in going from the Ten
nessee to the Coosa, and coanting 7 minutes
as the time occupied by a boat in passing
through each lock, the time consumed by
dockage on one passage is 002 minutes or
abont ten hours. By the Chickamanga ronte
there is 355 teet of lockage, eonnting ten feet
to (acb look, makes thirty-five locks on the
whole ronte, and seven minntes to each lock,
makes the time consumed by lockage on the
whole passage, 245 minntes, or about fonr
hoars. Bat by the other ronte the time con
sumed is ten hours, showing a difference in
favor of the Chickamanga roate of six hours.
A saving of time nearly soffioient to overcome
the fifty-one and a half miles distance against
that roate.
Fonrth, the material to be excayaled will
be mostly earth, which will not only be cheap
to handle, bnt will be of a nature calculated
to retain water in a canal, without great ex
pense in obtaining paddling clay. Across
Sand Moantam—the material to be met with
is mostly solid rock, which is expensive to ex
cavate, and where earth exists it is sandy and
porous, not adapted to retaining water, and
great expanse wonld be incurred in obtaining
clay for puddle.
The great cost of the Sand Mountain Canal
is dne to to the disadvantages that I have
spoken of. If a survey of tha route via Chick-
n manga is ever made I am satisfied that the
rough estimate that I have made will be
found nearly correct; aDd Major McFarland
wonld probably have the surveys made if
requested to do so by those interested.
This ronte not only possesses great advan
tages over all others in its cheapness of con
struction, bnt, when once opened, it will be
an outlet for the great mineral region of East
Tennessee. It will take the coal irom the al
most inexhaustible mines along the upper
Tennessee, in barges, and distribute it by
means of the Atlantic and Great Western Ca
nal from one end of Georgia to the other, at
priceethat weald now be considered fabu
lously low. It would bring the rich agricul
tural products of the Northwest, and pour
them into her store houses, to feed the labor
ers in her cotton fields andfthe artisans in her
ironworks. With the Muscle Shoals Canal
opened, this line will be to Georgia, the Em
pire State of the Sonth, what the Erie Canal
is to New York, the Empire State of the
Worth. It will he the great artery throngh
life giving vigor that will
and pulsate through every branch
ndustry, commerce and agriculture.

Chattanooga, May 15, 1873.
Ta* Bmcms nr CraannUTi.—Cincinnati,
May 15.—Interesting and nnnsual ceremo
nles took place to-night at the First Presbyto
nan Church, On the occasion of the installs,
tion of the Rev. George B. Beecher as pastor.
This is the pioneer chnrch of Cincinnati, or
ganized in 1700, and the first rude chnrch in
Cincinnati; was bnilt partly on the ground
occupied by the present edifice, on the north
side of Fourth street. The congregation has
had ten pastors, including the one installed to
night. The Rev. J. L. Wilson held the posi
tion oi pastor the lengest time, and upon the
arrival of Dr. Lym% Beecher, the grand
father of the present pastor, preferred charges
of heresy against Beecher. He also opposed,
on the same gronnd, the ordination of George
Beecher, the father of the fastor installed to
night. Henry Ward Beecher, who resided at
Walnut Hill during these times, preached the
installation sermon. Half an hour before the
service the house was filled to repletion, and
the crowd from the door to the street was so
dense that ingress and egress was utterly im
possible. Outsiders were so importnue, and
pnahed and surged about the door, breaking
the glass, murmuring and creating sneh eon-
fnsion, that, after announcing his subject, Mr.
Beecher Bat down and waited for the confn-l
sion to be qnieted. His address of fifty min
ntes contained no allusion to the chnrch rela
tions of his father.
The bronze gun presented by the Emperor
of Germany to the German Protestant Chnrch
at Titnsviile, Pa., is thus described by the
Herald of that city: It is a bronze 18-ponnd-
er field piece, 7 feet 8 inches in length, 5 inch
bore, and weighs 1,944 pounds. It cost when
new about $4,000, and is worth at least $2,000
for old metal. On the breech is engraved,
‘ 'Bouiges, July 27,1869,” indicating the place
and date of its manufacture. In front of the
touchhole is the letter “N,” snrronnded by a
floral wreath, nnd surmounted by the Impe
rial Crown of France. The name of the gun,
“Le Mauvais,” or the fiend, is carved - on the
mnzzle. The battle of Sedan was the first
service into which the gnu was brought, but
it was not fired during the battle. It is cer
tainly one of the finest pieces of foreign ord
nance ever brought to this country.
The Atlanta Herald.
Announcement for 1873.
Established only in August o last year,
he Atlanta Herald has, in five short months,
risen to the front rank of Georgia journalism,
and has obtained a circulation which has not
any precedent in the history of Sonthern
newspapers.
When first issued, the proprietors declared
their purpose to make the Herald a bold,
outspoken paper, independent of all political
parties, cliques and rings ard devoted solely
to the interests of the masses, without regard
to class or station. The condition of politi
cal parties in the Sonth was such, that un
der no circumstances could the Herald give
its support to Radicalism; hence, it has in
variably advocated the election of Democrats
to office, such advocacy being based upon the
capacity of candidates. The Herald, there
fore, has assumed the position of an inde
pendent Democratic newspaper, and will con
tinue to hold it, so long as the Democracy
remain the political party which serves the
people with more honesty and ability than
any other party in the State. Nevertheless,
the Herald will continue, in the future, as in
|the past, to criticise men aud measures,
without regard to political prejudices and
affiliations, condemning everything its pro
prietors believe injurious to the interests of
Georgia, and praising and supporting all
that they believe likely to promote the pros
perity of the State and the happiness of her
people.
As a newspaper, the Herald is already ad
mitted to be without a rival in Georgia. E vents
transpire with such rapidity that every per
son who desires to keep pace with the times,
mast have a live daily or weekly paper. Our
|columns will be found to give the very latest
news on every subject Whatever of inter
est occurs in any part of the world is made
known to our readers, and all the various top
ics of the day are discussed intelligently and
without bias.
Never before in the history of the world
|was it more necessary for every person who
can read to subscribe for a newspaper. The
straggle between centralism and Constitu
tional Democratic Government is entering
upon a new phase. Gigantic railroad and
bond rings at the North control and direct
the legislation of Congress, and as their in
terest can only be advanced by the existence
of a strong, centralized government, they are
passing laws, ono by one, whose ultimate de
sign is to reduce the States to the con
dition of mere provinces. Encroachments
more radical and startling than ever have
been made on the rights of the peopl.a The
South has been converted into a second Ire
land; her governments overturned by the
mandate of a petty judge, backed by federal
bayonets ; her people plundered by foreign
adventurers and native scoundrels, and her
libel ties crushed out with a ruthlessness which
has not any parallel save in Poland, Ireland,
and Hungary. To-day the men who struggled
through six years of bloody warfare, and the
children of the martyrs to the cause of South
ern Independence are political slaves, and
what their future is to be, remains shrouded
in impenetrable darkness. Meantime, the
terrible corruptions of the party in power, as
proven by the Credit Mobilier expositions,
implicating the outgoing and incoming Vice
Presidents, together with a large number of
the most prominent leaders of the Radicals,
are undermining the very foundation of Dem
ocratic institutions, and paving the way for
—npire. * ■- 0
While in the United States there is much
of mournful interest to attract the reade^of
cotemporary history, abroad the drama is
equally exciting and important France is
still kept unquiet by the violence of political
factions; in Great Britain the masses are
moving towards Democracy; in Germany the
Church question has assumed formidable
proportions; in Italy the situation increases
in interest, while in Spain there are evidences
that the revolution which placed Amadeus on
the throne is not yet ended. Everywhere, in
short, do we daily witness new and startling
occurrences, the regular and faithful record
of which makes the Herald a perfect history
of the world.
With a large corps of competent and ex
perienced editors, correspondents and repor
ters, and with arrangements concluded or
making for letters from all parts of the world
can promise to the reading pnblic a paper
which will, in every respect, satisfy their de
sires. Literature, science, the arts, will all
receive attention. Our apricultuAl, com
mercial and manufacturing interests will be
earnestly and steadfastly supported, and our
columns will always be kept open to poor and
rich alike.

corn and cotton, aud have worked it ourselves, and we express our entire satisfaction with it iu every way. It
makes au elegant bed at every trip, aud thoroughly pulverizes tbe land at the same time. After bed

guano at th.- same time. In corn planted in six feet rows, one round cleared the row. and left the land in splen

doing the work equally as well, if not better. Cotton rows from three to three aud a half feet, were cleared at
one furrow, which would have required two furrows with any other plow. As a cultivator it surpasses any
thing wo ever saw, and for bedding lands after being broken, it canuot be surpassed, as it does the work of
three men and mules. We cheerfully give it our fullest endorsement and recommendation, as the greatest la.
