Miron, October 6 1846 27 ts ItAILItOAD REPORT. COL. GADU>BS*H RtPOItT TO THE KNOXVILLE CONVENTION. The committee to whom was referred the con*iderntion of the importance of a railroad connection between the South-Atlantie sea coast and the interior of Tennessee, most res pectfully report: That they approach the subject with the more confidence, its one not recently or suddenly presented for public in vestigiition. As far back as the year 18!I5, the citizens of the Hiwassee District, then just emerging from the wilderness, justly ap preciating the beautiful and productive re gion to which their enterprise had allured them, procured a charter lor a railroad from Knoxville to the Georgia line. In this pro ject, so well conceived, they correctly antici pated a response from Georgia and South Carolina, not doubling that those States would duly appreciate the importance of a connection which was to bring into more inti mate, social, political and commercial com munion, tiie South-Atluntic ports with the interior of the \\\ st. The grander design ot a railroad from Charleston to Cincinnati, lor a moment obscured this humbler,but more practicable etlort. The greater project, however, supported as it was by the persua sive eloquence of the gifted and lamented Huyne, was not without its beneficial inllu encc in awakening the public attention to the vast importance of bringing into more irtli niato intercommunication the new ami enter prising States of the West, with the older sis ters ol the Atlantic—a connection, which, by frequent intercourse, was to break down the prejudices of ignorance, harmonize disagree ments in opinion, and stimulate till those friendly relations, which, in making us led as otw people, were to prove the surest guaran tees of the perpetuation of a Union based on equality of rights and the reciprocation of in terests. Stimulated hy these enlarged views, the States ol South Carolina anu Georgia have heartily co-operated ever since in all their united enterprises, until, ut Halloa, they have approached the Tennessee frontier, and left the Hiwassee as the only link in the Great Chain wilich is wanted to consummate the original design of it continuous railway from Knoxville to the sea-board. If twelve years ago, when hale had been eilcen and beyond a very imperfect structure from Charleston to Hamburg, and when com paratively uninliirmed as to the powers and capabilities of railroads, the citizens of this in teresting interior region of the American Swit zerland, as II by un Itilelllgeui Instinct, sliuuld have conceived the design of repudiating the rivers, whose Hoods were annually deceiving them, and of breaking down their mountain barriers, in order to accomplish u more perfect railway connection with tlu-ir Atlantic breth ren, how much stronger and more imposing lias become the consideration when the consum- I million of the object is now within tlieir grasji. and When the lights of science and the expe dience of years an- daily demonstrating that tiie Kailwuy. and its Locomotive, are destin ed to supercede ail other conveyance's which nature hud provided or which ingenuity had previously dcvis. and. ll rivers had nut been tound detective as channels of trade ; if tlieir floods and falls hail not alternately excited expectation, and proved fruitful of irregulari ties and disappointments to the merchant and the traveler, there would have been po neces sity ol plains to remedy tlieir defects. Cannls were tiie first suggestions, and to sucli a de gree of tnad extravagance, in the conception of many, were these early improvements cur ried, that they were made to course, (as it in contempt) on the banks of rivers converted in to mere feeders. Found subject, however, in practice, to many of the objections to which rivers were exposed, in the progress of ingenui ty and invention, the railway was suggested ; and su powerful and overwhelming has been its triumphs, as to command the approbation and excite the admiration of every community in which it lias been introduced. In Great Britain, railroads have almost become a pas sion ; and among tiie sagacious and calculat ing States of tiie East, they are rapidly super ceding tlieir steam-boats, tlieir ancient turn pikes, and MeAdamizcd roads, and every otiier channel of conveyance. They have been lound most certain, secure, and expediti ous —traveling at any speed steam can impart, and resolving all their motions into time. Tiie traveler and the man of business can select i their hour of departure, nnd calculate with certainty tlieir time of arrival. The same regu larity is imparted to the transportation of merchandize and produce. There is no im - pediment from (loud or snow ; there is no de ; lay or disappointment; no loss of time in im patiently awaiting the rise of rivers.or the ar rival ot a promised and expected boat; and no i necessity to anticipate a shipment, lest when j the hour moat preferred should arrive, there , should be no conveyance oflering. Applying | these generalities to a particular illustration: ; The East Tennesseeans, embosomed in tnoun- I tains, have hut one natural outlet ton market, j and that by the Tennessee river. This stream lis not only obstructed to some extent in its | passage through the Lookout Mountains, hut to a still greater degree at the Muscle Shoals, in Alabama. The rapids at this place shut up tiie navigation liir from lour to six months in the year ; and without bringing into the es timate the hazard of detention at that point. I and presuming ou the good fortune of a high river and an uninterrupted voyage the time consumed in rcuclting the jioint of destination, by the circuitous route of 2000 miles by tiie Ohio and Mississippi rivers ut New Orleans, will, on an average, tor flat-boats be from !15 Ito 40 days, and hy steamers from 8 tv 10 | days. These detentieus involve expenses of I transportation, which, on most of the produc- I nous nl East Tennessee, have proved prohibi tory ; and when shipped, if they should urrive |at a period of great depression, to a too fre quently glutted market the produce sealce ly pays the cost of transportation. The expe rience of many can no doubt testify to this liiet. Indeed the receipts of Western pro ductions at New Orleans are the true expo nents ot tiie rivcf* which float them to thut innrket. As the tributaries of the Mississippi inundate its hanks, -o at tiie same periods, are the fruits ot’ Western labor and enterprise cast, in its Kupcr.ibu idunce on tiie Levee nt I New Orleans, to take the chance of u moder ate remuneration, or of entire loss. Contrast these statements which it is be lieved are not extravagant, witli tiie substi tute of a railroad from Knoxville to tiie Atlan tic ports ol Charleston and Savannah. 5:20 miles, tiie extent us railway necessary, brings tile traveler, at the moderate speed ol 15 miles |an hour, w itliin 85 hours ol either of tiie j above places, and at miles, the present J average of the Carolina and most of the • Northern roads within 30 hours, being a fruc | (ion beyond one and iy from Knoxville to Chur ; lesion or Savannah. Merchandize, though slower in transportation, may h i passed over the same distance in from four to live days. To the like extent are the f ivoruble j influences ofruilways felt on the money cx- I changes and on returns ou the proceeds of shipments. While by New Orleans the pro ceeds on produce are rarely realized under three and lour months, and often six, with corresponding heavy ‘ interest charges—by Charleston and Savannah they m iy hr re ceived in twenty and not exceeding thirty days, with comparatively a trailing expense. There is another and very important revo lution which railways are cflecting, and which here claims special notice. Tito rugularity and certainty of the transportation on them involve the employment ot less cupital in the ordinary transactions of life, with u correspon ding reduction of expense nnd hazard in the VOL. XXV.—No. 28. retail trade. Instead of but two periods of the year for the accumulation of stocks, (.. ■ now prevails.) and based on tho Judgment and calculation of the merchant’s anticipating , the probable, but slow consumption of custo mers, the supply may be hud at any hour, and the shelves ol the retailer replenished as the demand varies. The merchant at Knoxville purchases his dry goods but twice a year in Charleston, or the Northern cities, m tin- I Spring and Fall, and his groceriei Imt once I each year in New Orleans, when the Spring floods promise a sure navigation of tiie Ten nesHce. Failing in tiie latter, as often occurs Ins sugar and coffee are diverted by the Cum berland to Nashville, there to tie subjected to the additional charge of 200 miles of wagoning to its place of destination. These heavy stocks ol supplies, from the necessity of antici pating and being prepared lor periods of con sumption, are all obviated by railroad trans portation. Purchases may be made as re quired, and supplies received in monthly and weekly successions, which by diminish nig the hazards of trade, and reducing the charges for interest, exchanges, &c., must cheapen tiie cost to consumers. As the mer chant can select his time to purchase and re ceive his orignal supplies, so may the produ cer profit hy the convenience of sending his crop and the fruits of his labor to a market, ava .ling himself of all the fluctuations in pri ces, ns they are raised or depressed hy supply and demand. The warm and moist climate ot our Southern cities is often lhtal to most of the productions which are peculiar to East L’ennessee. Corn. Wheat, Flour, indeed all the grams, with Bacon, Pork, Beef. Lard and Butter, deteriorate and often sutler in the store houses olTotv latitudes. Many-, no doubt, ia Knoxville, can testily lo this experience in their shipments to New Orleans, and which has made that trade so hazardous. Though Charleston is two and a half degrees North of that city, and the hazard of deterioration and injury not so gr.still the advantage which the railroad affords of avoiding th” . uijuric -, will tic found iac: I- al.. >le. Productions may lie retained at home, free of storage expenses; the granaries and smoke-houses of tiie interior need not be relieved of their contents until tiie market in tile city induce—and the a gents on the sea-coast can, at any hour, par ticularly through telegraphic communications, uotily the parlies, and receive the produce us tiie market warrants, and make tlieir return of proceeds with t lie like despatch and cer tainty. This very decided power, which rail roads alone impart, will lie found beyond ap preciation ; and while it leaves the producer, li-uu of linrg.., lo of the remuneration which the market atlords.it most etlectuaily protects him from any loss, which the necessi ty of availing of opportunities of shipment on tiie irregular and uncertain route Dy rivers too frequently involves. All these advanta ges in tiie certainty, cheapness and security of transportation, and in tiie expedition secur ed. must greatly diminish charges and expen ses and leave to the producer tile largest re munerating returns. Railroads impart additional value to the country they intersect, and in a greater degree to those regions winch, interior and excluded Irom tiie facilities of intercourse, have been de pressed from those causes. It is well under stood by all, that wi.ile lands on a river arc must sought after and command the highest prices, those of similar fertility, and the strong er recoTmnended by healthiness of position, hut deprived of navigation, will not sell for one-third or one-fourth of the- price. Tiie same influences are felt, in a greater or less degree, on property in cities or villages. In Great Britain there has .-en great improve ment in all towns through wilich railroads pass ; and although these highways of the lo comotives have expelled Irom tiie parallel roads seeking the same destination, the bur then wagon and splendid post coach, these have been multiplied four-fold, on lire cross roads. • wliich act as feeders and which have partaken of the stimulus which railroads have imjiarted to an increased trade and travel. In Boston, tiie Western and other roads, diverging from that city as a common centre have within the l ist lour years appreciated real estate to the amount ot's27,(iiKU)oo. New York, lu-guih ft by her noble jiort and magnificent Hudson, lias at lengtii awakened to the realities, in which her, far seeing neighbor had anticipated iter, and is now essaying to recover by rail roads what too much confidence in iter posi tion laid nearly forfeited. One of her projected railroads is to run on the very banks of a river, the perfect naviga tion ol which entitles it to be classed as an anu of the sea. Philadelphia. Baltimore and Richmond are alike moving on the system, and are all seeking to bring themselves in more intimate and expeditious intercour e with tiie teeming West. Not behind nor in ferior to either of the enterprises which they have projected, mid much nearer coiisumation. is the one which is the subject of this Report, and which is the stronger recommended being^H-e from competition and as coursing iu entire distance through a mild parallel ot’ latitude, and not subject to be impeded or in terrupted by the snows or the ice of winter. — No interior portion oftlic United States Ins more to gain irom this connection titan East Tenncsoe, and particularly that section of it Jong distinguished as the Hiwassee District. Emliosomed in mountains, where exposed ele vations are not more grand in tlieir spectacle and outlines, than are their bowels rich in the most valuable und precious minerals—with water courses presenting in their (falls and rap id.! the tiio-t eligible sites lor manufacturing villages—wi*h soils inexhaustible, and pro ductive i-i t.lt the valuable grains constituting subsistence for man and animals—with -t climate mild, salubrious and healthful—and blessed with a population hold ardent and persevering—it only needs the facilities of rer tum nnd rapid intercourse, and the reciproca tions of trade with oilier portions of the world, to stimulate enterprise in all those depart ments of productive industry which promise such rich returns. It is not alone in agricul tural productions, which seem to distress in their superabundance, that Eastern Tenne-ee is most and only blessed. Her mineral re sources. yet undeveloped, are a rich deposit for the future enterprise and intelligence of her inhabitants; and the manufacturing capa bilities of tin- whole country, with water-power inexhaustible, witli a population prepnrtd tor theeuti rprises mid with superabundant means of subsistence, are lar above all uppreoiutioa or competition. Here the loom and the shuttle inny make sweet harmony with the music of her waters, utnl wealth, contentment und pctcti gladden with smiles the countenances of an independent and happy population. VVith these gcncrql view*on ruilways, tln-ir vast capabilities in stimulating and lucilutmg trade and travel, and on the powers of the lo comotive in annihilating space and resolving all the operations ol trade and intercourse into computations of time, us well as of those greater advantages to interior countries re- j mote from the highway’ of nations, and de nied the ordinary und less lu-rlect modes of trnus|x>rtntion, your Committee will proceed to present in a more summary statement the peculiar advantages of the enterprise now tut ucr consideration, uod which it is the object ! of this Report to strongly rcceommend to Un early and united action of the citizens ot Ten nessee. The route is from Knoxville, by tiie Hiwassee district to Charleston and Suvunanh outlie Atlantic. Tho two roads from thcsecjtics converging from the sea-coast, meet ut At lanta, and with u common trunk from thence known as tin- Western and Athmtir Railroad, which is now completed ns far ns Dalton, ( toy miles from tiie Atlantic waters,) and is in pro gress to its terminus at ChnUunoogn, on tho’ Tennessee river.
