TIIE LETTER.
New York, Juno 1, 1672.
Thomas J. Perry, Ksy., Home, Ga.:
My Dear Sir : Your favor of the
23rd, informing mo of the movement now
on foot in onr section of the country in
regard to the opening of the Etowah and
Oostannula rivers to navigation, was
handed to me a few days ago, and would
have been answered sooner but for en
gagements.
In tho years IS53 and 1854, I exam
ined that question, it is true rather as an
amateur and to satisfy my own curiosity,
than i'or tiny other purpose; nev
ertheless, what I saw of these streams
and tho physical structure of the coun
try surrounding them, satisfied mo of the
practicability and the facility to make
them useful as channels as transportation ;
and I was more confirmed in that convic
tion when, in 1856 and tho following
years connected with the Western & At
lantic Railroad, I saw that largo freshets
on both streams require days before wa
ter takes its natural level. I saw these
stages of high water on tho two rivers,
both at Etowah and Itcsaca bridges, prov
ing that the general slope of these two
water courses is not considerable between
tlieso points and Rome, proving, besides,
that their canalisations must ho easily
mode aud at little cost,
I was often told that, in former
times beforo tho construction of rail
ways, produce from East Tennessee,iron,
corn, wheat and other products, were
ofton carried to Rome and below, down
the Coosa in Hat-boats, which perform
ed the tho wholo trip to their destina
tion. There is a perfect Hat and level
gap seven or eight miles long be
tween the waters of -the Tennessee
river through its tributaries, tho Ili-
Wfttsee and Ocoee, and those of the
Oostanaula river and it tributaries, the
Connasauga and Coosawnttee. During
freshets, these floats were carried by
the water itself over the gap ; and when
water was confined in its banks, they
wore brought over by wagons. We see,
then, through the junction of tho watir-
of the Coosa river with those of the
Tennessee river, through the Hiwassee
and its tributary, the Ocoee river, can
easily he done, and is in the most fa
vorable condition to make a cheap
work of it. A judicious system of
bars or wing damns to appropriate
conveniently the depth and level of
the water, perhaps one or two locks,
and a simple channel cut through the
flat land forming the intervening gap
of seven or oight miles long form, be
sides tho cleaning of tho rivers and
tributaries, all the work necessary. It
is, in a word, ono oi tho easiest and
cheapest canalisations which enn ho
found anywhere.
SyAs to that of the Etowah river, 1 am
confident that it presents no technical
nor material difficulties to overcome;
at least as far up as tho former Etowah
iron works of Mnj. M. A. Cooper, ami
that tho only dillerenco of cost will con
sist only in some more bars or wing
damns, and locks, due to a greater slope
in this river than in tho other, lie-
tween these works and Canton the
only difficulty is to opportionate in
locks the rapids about tho Etowah
works, which are crowned by a good
distance of navigable waters.
I have never made instrumental sur
veys nor estimates of cost for the canal
isation of said rivers. I cannot, then,
venture myself upon figures; hut I
can say this muc?i about it, and it is
that I consider tiie expenditure to make
such improvements so inferior when
compared with the necessary results to
bo derived from them, that I cannot re
frain to advise you and your people to
go ahead with tlieso great works which
should have been done twenty-five
years ago before railroads touched to
our section of country.
Water transportation is tho cheapest
which can be had. It is the ono, thou,
tho most needed by planters, man
ufacturers and miners who all must
economise upon everything, chiolly on
transportation, if they wish to prosper.
Merchants, thomsolves, will be glad to
economise when they can; and all of
them aro intelligent enough to know
that their prosperity depends entirely
on that of their customers who, if pros
perous, mako them rich.
If we now look into the results to be
expected from these important works,
their magnitudo is tffuly amazing. The
oponing of regular navigation on these
waters must 'develop incalculable
sources of wealth now lying dormant
without profit to anybody.
If wo take tho Oostanaula river,
made navigable to the Tennessee river,
and thence to Knoxville, East Tennes
see, we find thatAho counties of Floyd,
Gordon, WhjJfield, Murray, Gilmer and
lfannirq in^yeorgia; Polk, (in which
is made the junction of tho Ocoee
into tho Iliwassco rivers,) Bradley, (in
which this empties into tho Tennessee
river,) McMinn, Hamilton, Meigs,
Roane, Anderson, Knox, in Tennessee,
are the ones to be most directly benc-
fitted by this new channel of transpor
tation, which must invite them all in
one common interest.
If wo now examine into the merits
of each county separately, wo find that
they combine together all the elements
of natural wealth which have made
England tho richest country in the
world. They nearly all possess rich
and productive lands, which make the
first foundation of tho wealth of a
country.
Wo find besides stone coal in quan
tity in Hamilton, Meigs and Anderson
counties, in Tennessee, beds of iron
ores, nearly on tho whole line extensive
deposits of copper ore in Polk county,
Tennessee; silver, lead and zinc in
Murray, gold in Murray and Gilmor,
slato in Floyd, limestone, marble, gran
ite, greystone and an abundance of
timber scattered all along the proposed
channel, areas many eloments to secure
a constant and lucrative transportation
upon it.
If wo now examine into the eloments
which must constitute the transporta
tion on tho Etowah river, except the
stone coal which will go up stream, the
counties traversed by this stream pos
sess equally as good, rich and produc
tive soil, if not more so; iron ores
enough to supply twenty States with
all their necessities made of this metal.
Wo find besides immense beds of the
best slato, of firestone, of soapstone, of
granite, gold arid copper, white marbles,
statuary marbles, limestone and others;
all said metals gathered and scattered
over the counties of Floyd, Bartow,
Cherokee, Pickens, Lumpkin, Union,
Habersham and Hall, tho first to be
benefited from the opening of this com
munication. The adjoining counties
to all theso possessing natural wealth of
a heavy nature, such as minerals and
timber, will be benefited by this new
channel of transportation in the ratio
of tho now facilities given to them by
theso communications to develop their
sections. If their distances of trans
portation are mode by this one-half,
one-third, one-fourth or one-fifth of
what thev were formerly, their facilities
to develop, to work or to dispose of
their properties are increased in the
same ratio.
The most serious impediment to the
advancement of a country is tho total
want or difficulties of transportation.
Everybody who has watched the progress
made in the construction of railroads
in the last twenty years, has observed a
corresponding progress in everything
of the country, (fid planters who used
to transport two and three hundred
miles to their nearest market their
products aro very competent to make a
comparison and a correct judgment
between long and short distances for
transportation.
In this age of improvemeiKs, tho
greatest agent and the surest, after agri
culture, to bring progress and wealth is
industry, whose chief motor is steam
power. This is made of three elements
—coal, water and iron. Theso two last
wo have in abundance all over our sec
tion of country. Stone coal is only
wanting, and the little wo have costs
too high on account of the actual means
.of transportarion to make steam power
in industry very profitable, chiefly tho
industry of iron in which, even with
tho water power, tho use of coal, and
plenty of coal, is indispensable,
Tho manufacture of iron is and will
ho limited in Rome, and in all our sec
tion of country, as long as coal cannot
ho bought at reasonable prices. The
regular supply of coal at a moderate
cost is all wc need in Romo to make it
a manufacturing centre in the South.
Let us have it, cheap and plenty of it,
with all the other natural advantages
wo possess, capital will soon flow to
and scttlo among us.
So, you see, my dear sir, the immense
importance to Rome and vicinity to
open theso two channels of transporta
tion. Through the Oostanaula river
and its extension wo will receive our
supply of coal from Tennessee, coming
down stream; and through the Etowah
river, Romo will receive also down
stream her supplies of iron, limestone,
freestone and timber from the rich beds
in Bartow county and above.
Being at the'junotion of these two
rivers, Rome is better situated than any
other placo for manufacturing purposes,
as haviug all the raw material coming
down stream. Nevertheless, Resaca,
Calhoun, Dalton, Cartersville, Canton
and Atlanta, whan the Etowah and
Cliattahoocheo rivers have been made
one, will receive immense benefits from
theso new channols of cheap transpor
tation.
When the navigation of tho Coosa will
have been connected and made one with
the Alabama river, which will be done
so soon as we have a patriotic instead of
a partisan government over the dostinies
of this country, and when the Memphis
Branch Railroad shall have been pushed
tc Collinsville, this will open to Rome a
third supply of coal from the Tennessee
river coal fields of Alabama, And when
the projected railroad from Romo to
Chattanooga via Trion factory will liavo
been accomplished, this will give to Rome
a fourth channel to receive coal from
Lookout Mountain. Tho abuudnuco of
motal can also flow into Rorao_ from not
only tlioso four channels, but from every
ono now in cxisteuco and which will bo
constructed, iron ores being abundant nil
round.
Our main want is coal, cheap coal,
and a regular supply of it. As I linve
said before, tho most expeditivo manner,
and the cheapest way to obtain it, is, in
my opinion, the opening of tho Oosta
naula river to navigation and its
extension to tho Tennessee river. This
is, my dear sir, what you must impress
on the minds and on the brains of our
fellow-citizens. This work is very light
if compared to the magnitude of its re
sults, and can bo easily accomplished in
ono year if everybody pulls in tho same
direction—comes up to liis duty.
If jrou succeed in that, which I hope
you will, you will deserve, my dear sir,
to bo appointed tho commissioner, or
rather the commodore of our waters. I
will subscribe ono thousand dollars each
for opening the two rivers.
I remnin, dear Sir, with high consider
ation,
Your most obedient servant,
Eugene LeHardy, G. li.
The Eads Jetties.
The first pile in the construction of
the Eads was driven at 4 o’clock on the
21st of June. Says the New Orleans
Times:
This is the beginning, and will bo
taken by the whole Valley of the Mis-
sissipi as the promise of the speedy ful
fillment of the contract made by Capt.
Eads to give to this port an unobstruct
ed deep water outlet to the sea. The
eventjcannot fail to attract attention on
both sides of the Atlantic. Tho jetty
system has been successfully tried at
the mouths of other rivers, and it is no
wild calculation to expect success in
this instance. It is far easier to sat
isfy the mind of success in this parti
cular, than to measure the benefits that
are likely to follow that success. A deep
water channel at the mouth of the Mis
sissippi river means a revolution in the
commercial relations of the grain belts
in the Valley in which we live. It
means both quick and cheap transpor
tation, and must inevitably bring the
Valley states into direct trade with
Europe. It means a saving of $20,000,-
000 to $25,000,000 a year to the pro
ducers of the West, equal to an appre
ciation of the lands now in cultivation
of from 25 to 50 per cent. It means al
so that New Orleans in the near future
will become one of the largest and most
prosperous cities on the Western conti
nent. Assured of this deep water out
let to the Ocean paths of commerce,
capitalists will begin to consider wliat ef
fect it is to have on the trade and com
merce of the West, and with that con
sideration will come a tendency of cap
ital this way.
We understand that many of the
needful arrangements for this work have
already been made by Capt. Eads.
Wharves are being built r ways are in
course of construction; and tho making
of fascines commenced, and cabins are
in the meantime being erected for tho
accommodation of laborers.
The Weakness of our Laws.
The Augusta Constitutionalist discuss
es the question why foreign capital
does not seek an investment in Georgia.
It thinks that it is largely due to the
fact that our laws are uncertain in their
duration and changeable by variant con'
structions of the courts—particularly
the Supremo Court which has more ba
siness beforo it than tho present force
of the Court can properly attend to. It
says of the laws themselves:
“Our laws aro not honest; they are
not certain; they are not business-like
or up to the age. The very definition of
law is that it is a rule of action; but
what sort of a rule can be consti acted
out of the interminable contradictions
and refinements and distinctions which
disgraoo our legislation and make our
courts pretty muoh so many Turkish
divans, where each Cadi does as seems
good in his own eyes. While such a
state of things exists we cannot hope
lor, and do not deserve, introduction of
foreign capital. True, we give it the
same measure of protection that we
have ourselves, and this equality is the
only bright spot in a dark picture, but
it is a reflection on our capacity for
self-government that all our internal in
dustries aro regulated not by law, but
legal chance.”
The dispatches from Indian Territo
ry indicate a rather disturbed state of
affairs. The bloody fouds are in part
due to the approaching election for
Chief of the Cherokee tribe, which takes
place in August, at which time, also,
the Council of fartv-five members, will
be chosen. W. P. Ross is the present
chief and candidate for re-election, and
Charles Thompson is hU opponent.
Ross and Thompson and their friends
are creating the disturbances. It would
seem that the organization of a Territo
rial government, with a United States
Court to deal out justice, as has been
proposed, would, while accompanied by
various evils to the Indian Nation, tend
to harmonize the conflicting elements,
both of which are said to be in favor of
pujjj an organization.—Owrier-Jnnmal.

shall bo controlled by the people, and not by
tricksters and o/Cco*seokors who may desire to
