THE FALLS OF TALLULAH.

AhE FALLS Or lALLOLhn
I. OF all the wonders of nature, few have
higher claims to admiration than the
Falls of Tal!ulah. The stream which
gives name to these falls is called by the
Indians Tallulah, and by the whites Tu-
roree. 1t takes It's rise in the north west
part of Georgia, and runs south east
course until it forms junction with the
Tulago, a principal branch Of the Savan-
nah. The width of the ruroree cannot
be correctly ascertained at the falls, its
Banks being very high and craggy
The best judges suppose it is, at least,
forty yards wide. 1t is likewise difficult
to say what its depth would be on an av-
erage, for the current is much obstructed
by enormous rocks, which have precipi.
tated themselves from the eminences,
and formed several large reservoirs along
the channel. The whole distance of the
descent is about three hundred feet.
The quantity Of water discharged over
these precipices is sufficient to fovm
considerable river.
Strange as it may seem, this sublime
production OF nature was unknown to
the civilized world until the year 1919.
In point Of romantic scenery and
grandeur these falls will ever mock the
pride. of the Niagara, notwithstanding its
vast food of water. Never was the eye
permitted to gaze ON scene OF such
wild iregularity and awful sublimity as
is here displayed. Its banks are seen
rising to the height of five hundred feet;
their pinpacles menacing the skies, and
their massy cliffs frowning on the fright
ful abyss bes,w. Perilous is the de.
scent down into this subterranean region.
Few have had the hardihond 10 attempt
an enterprise so dangerous; those who
have, were compelled to effect their pas
slge bv crawling and winding along the
curvatures Of the banks, making use of
every shrub and tree to aid them down.
i is a matter OF great surprize that some
Of those hardy sons of adventure have
riot fallen victims to their curiosity.
Allured by the beauty of the sur
souudicg landscape, the unwary specta
tor advances with pleasure to the very ,
brink Of the precipice; then suddenly
most .horrid cavern threatens to devour
him, and from which he instantly retires
to cautious distu,ce.

was occupying enchanted ground. Hi,
eyes are charmed with the grand spcc,a-
cles of nature which rise in review be-
fore him, and his ears arc stunned with
the loud roar of water whose foaming
pillows rebound as if anxious to re-as-
cend the precipice While thus absorb
ed in the contemplation of the scene, his
mind cannot be otherwise than deeply
impressed with a scene OF that transcrn-
dant power and wisdom which created
this world of wonders, and strewed it
with so many beacons to invite our
minds on high to the alteration of the
great Architect of Heaven and Earth.
Here in this august temple the Indian
and whiieman may meet, and pay hom-
age to their common Creator.
This seems to be consecrated place,
a spot reserved by nature for her own
retirement. The artillery of Heaven
play their thunder bolts about il, as
