In the Meadow.
Down in tho gras.-y green meadow,
Where the t.weet scented violets grow,
And tbe winds through its margin of willows
Come murmuring, rythmic and low,
While a bright little stream through the grasses
Goes by with a musical flow.
There in the sweet calm of the evening,
When the heavens seemed dtooping so nigh
And the dew-drops shone brighter than dis monda,
We wandered, sweet Alice and I,
With our hearts all aglow with the gladness,
And our lives lifted up to tbe sky.
The e I told her how fondly I loved her,
And she answered—sweet syllables low;
But the gladness that lay in her answer
’Tie needless for others to know.
But as long as I live I shall bless it—
That place where the violets grow;
That love haunted spot in tho meadow,
Where the sweet scented violets grow.

The Examination of the Etowah
River from Railroad Bridge
near Cartersville, to Rome,
Georgia.
Chattanooga, Tenn , )
August 24, 1872. j
Major : In compliance with your in
structions I have the honor to submit the
following report of an examination of
Etowah Kiver, from the bridge of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, near
Cartersville, Georgia, to its junction with
the Oostanaula and Coosa livers at Rome,
Georgia. The bridge of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad is a Howe truss wooden
bridge, with five spans of about 70 feet
each. The bottom of the lower chord
is about 30 feet above high-water mnrk,
River at this poiut 250 feet wide. A
shoal begins at the railroad bridge and
extends down the river 1,500 feet. Eight
hundred feet below the bridge is an old
mill with a dam built of loose rock, ex
tending entirely across the stream.
It will be necessary to remove a por
tion of this dam, say 100 by 8 by 10
feet loose rock, and build a dam 250 feet
long at foot of shoal, and a lock of 4 feet
lift. Tho fall is only two feet on the
shoal, but it will cost less to build a dam
and a lock than to excavate a channel
the whole length of the shoal; esti
mates for which is annexed to the report.
We find the water from 6 to 12 feet
deep for a half mile farther down, which
brings us to Puckett’s ferry, and 500 feet
below Puckett’s ferry a loose rock and
gravel-bar extends across the river. The
fall here is 18 feet. The improvement
needed is a channel excavated througn
the bar 400 feet Ion,', 80 feet wide, and 2
feet deep.
One and a quarter miles below the
Western and Atlantic Railroad bridge
we come to L. Tumlin’s mill and ferry,
where it will be necessary to build a dam
9 feet high 250 feet long, with a lock of
5 feet lift.
One-quarter of a mile below Tumlin’s
mill there is a gtavel-bar where a chan
nel will have to be cut 600 feet long, 80
feet wide, and 1 foot deep.
One-half mile below Tumlin’s mill a
loose rook and gravel-bar that will re
quire a channel to be be opened through
it 200 feet long, 80 feet wide and 25 feet
deep.
One mile below Tumlin’s mill is an
other gravel-bar, through which a ohau
nel will have to be opened 100 by 80 by
2} feet, loose rock and gravel.
One-half mile above Douthard’s ferry
there is a gravel-bar, whero the only im
provement needed is a channel to be
cut through the bar, 200 by 80 by 2
feet. Bar at Douthard’s ferry, three
miles below Tumlin’s mill, is composed
of loose rock and gravel. A channel 300
by 2J by 80 feet will give sufficient wa
tcr-way. River at this point is about
225 feet wide.
About three quarters of a mile below
Douthard’s ferry the river widens out
to 350 feet wide, forming a shoal 3,500
feet in length on which there is a total
fall of 3i feet. The water is only 2 feet
deep.
The improvement required here is a
dam 250 feet long, and a lock of 5 feet
lift; also tho removal of 50 cubic yards
solid rock, and 700 cubic yards loose rock.
There is a truss bridge here, 350 feet long,
which will have to be remodeled.
The batiks of the river are generally
12 feet high.
At the foot of the last mentioned shoal
the liver contracts to a width of 225 feet,
until we reaclt a shoal about 600 feet
above Rowland’s ferry. Attheupp
of this shoal a reef of rocks con
tracts tho channel-way to 50 feet in
width. Below the reef a gravel-bar ex
tends across the stream, through which it
will be necessary to widen the channel
through thu rock reef at the head of
shoal.
On both sides of the river there is a
beautiful and fertile country; the soil is
dark red, very rich, and the laud under
a high state of cultivation.
At Rowland’s ferry the banks are 20
feet high. The high-water mark is 9.8
feet above the low stage of water. Petit’s
creek makes in from tho right bnuk, just
opposite here. The river is 200 feet
wide.
One-half mile below Rowland's ferry
we come to the bridge of the Carters-
villeand Vanwert Railroad; it is Howe
truss, and is 192 feet long in tho. clear,
and reaches across the river in one
span; bottom of lower chord is 21.4 feet
above low water, or 11.6 feet above
the highest stage of water. Depth of
water in the channel is 6 feet. It will
be necessary to put a draw in this
bridge.
One third of a mile below the above
bridge is a rock-reef, through which it
will be necessary to cut a channel 50
by 80 by 2 feet.
Three-quarters of a mile below the
railroad bridge is a fish trap dam to be
taken out; 185 cubic yards of loose rock
will cover the amount of material tube
excavated.
Two miles below the bridgo of the
Cartersville and VanWert Railroad is a
gravel-bar and fish trap dam, known as
Rowland's shoal. Improvement needed
here is a channel 300 feet long. 3 feet
deep, and 80 feet wide.
One-half mile below Rowland’s shoal
is a gravel-bar 300 feet long, with only
3 feet depth of water and considerable
current, It will bo necessary here to
build a wing dam of riprap, below the
shoal, 7 feet high and 300 feet long, to
back the water up over the bar, and
make it deeper. Wo have good water
for the next five miles, where we find
a solid rock reef extending across tbe
river about half a mile above Stile’s
houso Excavation in solid rock necessa
ry to make a good channel 100 by 80 by
2 feet.
For tho next one and a half miles we
have from 4 to 10 feet of water, until
wo reach a reef of rocks extending
across at right angles to the course of
the river. Below this reef a gravel-bar
extends 400 feet farther down tho river.
It will be necessary to cut a channel
through this shoal 450 feet long, 80 feet
wide, and 3 feet deep. One-eighth of
the material will bo solid rook, and the.
lest gravel and loose rock, the width of
the river here is 250 feet. The banks
are 20 feet high, and there is a high
rolling country extending back from
the rivers on both sides.
Three fourths of a mile farther down
the river there is a roclc-reef extending
across the river,o n which there are on-
1 y 3 feet of water at a low stage.
It will be necessary to cut a channel
through this reef 200 feet long, 80 feet
wide, and 2 feet deep. The amount
of excavation will be 1,183 cubic yards
of solid rock. There is not much fall
over the reef. The country is flat on
tho right, and hilly on the left of the
river. .
One-third of a mile farther down
there is another reef, which is one-
quarter of a mile above Thomas Turn
lin’s ferry. There are 6 feet of water
above the reef, 18 inches on the reef,
and 6 below, and not much current.
Excavation necessary to open a chan
nel, 100 by 80 by 3 feet in solid rock.
At Thomas Tumlin’s ferry the river is
230 feet wide, and there are 8 feet wa
ter in the channel. Banks are about 20
feet high, with a level country on both
sides of the river.
The distance to the railroad-bridge
at Cartersville is about 15 miles. Eu-
harlec creek makes in an the left bank
one-eight mile below the ferry, one-
half mile below jThemas JTumlin’s
ferry is a fish-trap dam and a shoal
1,500 feet in length. The river here
is 350 feet wide, and not more than
18 inches deep. The fall is 26 feet
the whole length of the shoal. Banks
are 18 feet high, and increasing in
height from the river. At foot of
•hoalthe river contracts to 200 feet
wide, and tho water is 8 feet deep.
The improvement needed here is a
dam to make slack water over the
shoal, with a look of 5 feet lift. Length
of dam, 250 feet.
A Milam’s Feri y the river is 350 feet
wide and water 8 feet deep in the
channel, one-quarter of a mile below
Milam’s Ferry is a loose rock and
gravel bar. The fall is 0.7 foot; exca
vation necessary to make a channel is
400 by SO by 3 feet, gravel and loose
rock.
Calhoun’s Island ia situated one mile
below Milam’s Ferry. There is a gravel-
bar extending from the head of this
island to tho right bank.
The improvement needed here is a
channel to be excavated through the
bar 500 feet long, 80 feet wide, and
1} feet deep, and in addition thereto a
dam to be built from the head of the
island to the left bank, to deflect the
water into the right-hand chute. This
dam is to be riprap, 200 feet long and
6 feet high.
Three hundred feet below the foot
of Calhoun’s Island there is a rock reef
extending across the river that will re
quire a channel to be excavated in rock
150 by 80 by 2 feet.
Two miles below Milam’s Ferry we
come to Calhoun’s and Sayre’s ferry,
which is about ten miles from Carters
ville by the country roal, and four
miles from Kingston. Tho distance to
Cartersville bridge is about eighteen
miles by the river. Ono quarter of a
mile below Calhoun’s ferry there is a
reef of rocks diagonally across the river.
The water above tho roef is 6 feet deep,
on the reef 2 feet; below the reef it is
5 feet deep; the fall is 6 inches. The
improvement necessary is a channel
cut through tho reef 150 by 80 by
feet, all solid rock.
For the next three-quarters ofa mile
we have from 5 to 8 feet of water,
which brings us to a shoal three-quar
ters of a mile below Calhoun’s ferry.
Here a roef of ragged broken rocks
extend across the river. About 400
cubic yards of rock blasted out will
give a channel SO feet wide and 4 feet
deep. Rucky bluffs extended down to
the river on the left hand but on the
right the country is level.
At Mark Harden’s ferry and the
Bhoal immediately below, the river
widens out from 300 to 700 feet wide,
with reefs of rocks extending across the
river at intervals for 1,200 feet, with a
fall in that distance of 2.47 feet.
There are about 1,000 feet of slack
water between this shoal and other be
low ; but on account of the great
width of the river Aa water is 3 feet
deep. The river then begins to fall
rapidly, and the water becomes only
is 6,46 feet. This will make the total
fall of the two shoals 8,93 feet. The
improvement necessury is a dam 500
feet long, and a lock ot 10 feet lift. The
batiks are very high, and there will
be no difficulty in giving the required
lift to the lock, as there will do no
danger. of overflowing the adjacent
lands.
Frick’s Ford Island is situated at the
foot of the above |hoals, one-quarter
of a mile below Frick’s Ford Island
there is a rock-reef extending across
the river. Excavation necessary to
open a channel through the reef, 100
by 18 by 3 feet, all rock, ouc-half mile
below, another reef; excavation 150 by
80 by 2 feet all rock.
About one quarter of a mile above
Reynold’s Ford there is a gravel bar
and fish-trap dam. Shoal 400 feet
long, with 6 feet depth of water.
It will be neceseary to open a chan
nel through the bar 400 feet long, 80
feet wide, and 2 feet deep, all gravel.
At Reynold’s Ford there is n gravel
bar extending entirely across the river,
and 400 feet long, Water 35 feet
above the bar, 21 on the bar, and 7 feet
below the bar.
The best water is along the right
bank. The improvement needed here
is a riprap wing-dam 300 feet long
and 6 feet high, to back the water np
on the shoal and make it deeper.
There is a gravel-bar extending
across the river one half mile below
Reynold’s Ford. Thera are 7 feet of
water above the bar, 2 feet on the bar,
and 8 feet below the bar. Excavation
necessary to open a channel, 200 by
80 by 2 feet, one half gravel and the
other half solid rock.
One mile below Reynold’s Ferd there
is a shoal on which there are only 18
inches of water. Length of shoal is
1,300 feet, and the fall is 3 feet.
Width of river at foot of shoal is
350 feet. Improvement needed here is
a dam below the shoal 350 feet long
and a lock of 5 feet lift.
Two Rod creek makes in at this shoal
from the right bank. Conaseen creek
comes in from the right bank one-half
mile below.
One-half mile below the mouth of
Conaseen creek we come to Woolley’s
bridge, which is a Howe truss about
300 Feet long. Bottom of lower chord
is 13 feet above high water mark. High
water is 12 feet above low water mark.
For one mile below Woolley’s bridge
we have (jood water from 4 to 10 feet
deep. This brings us to a shoal and
fish-trap dam. A channel will have
to be opened through this shoal 300 by
2 by 80 feet. There is a rock reef ono
and. one-half miles below Woolley’s
bridge that will have to have a channel
excavated 60 by 80 by 3 feet, solid rook.
Two miles below Woolley’s bridge there
is a shoal 3,000 feet long, on which
there is a fall of 6 feet. The banks on
both sides are 20 feet high, and on the
lower half a hill slopes down to the
river on the left The improvement
recommended here is a dam across the
river below the shoal 300 feet long, and
a lock 6 feet lift. This will make slack
water over the whole length of the
shoal.
At the upper end it will be necessary
to cut a channel through a rock reef 75
by 80 by 2 feet in solid rock.
The abovo shoals are known as
Muchison’s shoals.
One-half mile below Muchison’s
shoals we ceme to Mayhew’s ferry. The
river here is 300 feet wide, banks 20 feet
high j hilly country on both sides of
the river.
For one and one-half miles below
Mayhew’s ferry wo havo good water
from 4 to 12 feet deep, with the excep
tion of a small gravel-bar at the ferry.
Excavations necessary to open a chan
nel, 159 by 80 by 2 feet.
One and a half miles below May
hew’s ferry there is a small island near
the left shore, and between this and the
right shore there is a small gravel-bar
150 by 80 by 2 feet; gravel excavation
needed.
Two miles below Mayhew’s ferry we
come to Eve’s station on the Rome Rail
road. The railroad has been running along
on the bank of the river since leaving
Wooley’s bridge, four and ene-half miles
above. There is a gravel bar 800 feet
below Eve’s station where it is necessary
to make an excavation 300 by 80 by 2
feet, in gravel.
Skinner’s shoal is one-half mile bolow
Eve’s station; it ia 1,200 feet long with
a fall of 2 feet. Improvement lecora-
mended here is to excavate a channel-
way two-thirds the length of the shoal,
and in addition to build a riprap wing-
dam 350 feet long and 6 feet high to
check the current and back the water
sufficiently to deepen the channel.
There is a rock reef and gravel-bar sit
uated cne-fourth mile above Bass’ ferry.
There is very little fall, and all that
is necessary to open the channel is
to make an excavation 200 by 80 by 2
feet one half rock the other half gravel.
For one and a half miles below Bass’
ferry is good water; batiks 18 to 22 feet
high : river 300 feet wide on an average,
sometimes widening cut to 350 feet, and
again contracting to 250 feet. Occa
sionally bluffs and hills extend down to
the river, and then the country opens out
again, first on one side of tho river and
then on the other side.
Two miles below Bass’ ferry there is a
shoaj 2,500 feet long on which there are
but two feet of water. The' fall three
and one-half feet.
The improvement needed here is a dam
to bo built below the shoal, and a lock of
lift. Six hundred feet below, sora* loose
