TRIUMPH or TIE SOUTHERN RAuRoAps.-We

But In addition to the completion Of these roads,
means Of increasing the trade tn. lines, there
other auxisres that will come in 10 the aid Of the
grand enterprises The navigation Of the Tennessee
river nd its tributaries will be greatly improved thus
a1ording facilities for the transportation of goods up
railroads and from Hhch will be brought the cotton,

will come-lands will be approximations OF acres
that have remained IN foresc since the days when the
giant held sway over the country, will be put in
cultivation and will go to swell the mighty torrent Of
trade that must be borne across the country to the
southern Atlantic sesboarj. Chattanooga, from its
location must share largely In this prosp Gritty

a city worthy Of the name and OF the country.
When we contemplate these things-when we witness
the present rapid growth Of tho country, and look

SUCCESS OF PLANK RoADs.-The people OF this
section are now reaping the benefit of the plank
roads which have been constructed within the past
wear For the past week the weather has been rainy
and travelling the ordinary roads has become con-
siderably obstructed by the mud, but on the plank
roads the passage is as smooth and rapid as In m,d
summer. We have now extending from this CITY iour
distinct lines Of plank roads one extending TO
Boopy the north, distance OF thirty Two miles,
one to Bridgewater about 20 miles to the SOUTH and
soon to be extended 20 miles farther; another TO
Wateryille 90 miles outhwest, and to beextended 10
miles m ore to Hamilton, and the fourth extending
westward TO Rome 10 miles, and forming by Junction
with others at Rome an uninterrupted plank road

in Oswego county. There also several direct ana
lateral extensions OF this line now in progress and In

roads in this section all reapng rich harvest

$4,000 Since its construction, very large proper
