THE WINTERS GAP ROUTE.
hUoI TtspttIIuIIy yOuIsJ UC1

We find in the Loudon Free Press an editori
al which claims the route, via Loudon, through
Winters Gap to Louisville, as superior to that
by Knoxville. The chief advantage urged, is
the distance, which it says is .toyty-tEree miles
shorter blythe Winters Gap route. How thisdi
tance IS measured, whether by the Rabun Gap
route or by the railroads through Georgia, the
editor leaves uncertain. If he meanS SfH can
establish, that by the Rabun Gap, Lo1don is
% miles nearer to Charleston than Knoxville
is then it may be well for the people of Ten
nessee to consider as to the extension of the
road through Winters Gap. But the editor Of
the Loudon Press sseemst think that it is for the
people of South Carolina to consider this
Surely he does not expect them to do every
thing! South Carolina expects to build the
road through her own territory, and to aid the
citizens of Georgia and North Carolina in ex-
tending it to the Tennessee line. 1t will prob
a6ly strick this line Just where the Little Ten
nessee breaks through the Smoky Mouu4ains-
At this point we expect the citizens of Knox,
Bount, etc, to take in hand and complete it to
Knoxville, But we haveno objection whatever to
another road from Loudon, intersecting at the
same point 1t is supposed here that our most
practicable decent into the Tennessee Valley.
is by this opening through the mountains. If
SO, then we strike the Tennessee as near to
Loudon as we can. One location is, therefore,
as fair to that place as to Knoxville. Thus
locating their road to the Tennessee line, the
people of South Carolina are not to choose or
Indicate the course Of its extension through
Tennessee. Let Blount and Knoxville extend
it-they seem resolved to do 50. But this need
not prevent or retard the exertions of any who
deem another route more desirable. They too
may connect with the Rabnn Gap road at tn e
Tennessee line. The Blue Ridge Company
will gladly shake hands with any who reach
out to them.-C Charleston Standard.

DECLIvITY OF RIvEEs.--A very slight decliv-
ity sufices to give the running motion to the
water. Three inches per mile, in smooth,
straight channel, gives a velocity of about three
miles an hour. The Ganges, which gathers
the waters of the Hymaaya Mountains the lof
tiest in the world, is at 1900 miles from its
mouth, only about 500 feet above the level OF
the sea--about twice the height eff St Pauls in
London, or the height of Arthur's seat in Edin-
burgh-and to fall this 500 feet in its long
course, the water requires more than a month.
The great river Madalena, in South America,
running for 1000 miles between two ridges Of
the Andes, falls only 800 in all that distance;
above the commencement of the 1000 miles, it
is seen descending in rapids and cataracts from
the mountains. The gigantic Rio dc. La Plata
has so gentle descent to the ocean, taat in Pa
ragua, 1900 miles from its mouth, large ships
are seen which have sailed against the current
all the way, blythe force of the wipd alone--that
is to say, which on the beautiful inclined plane
of the stream, have been gradually lifted by
the soft wind, and even against the current, to
an elevation greater than that of our loftiest
spires.-ArH0fS Physics.

LOUDON:

THE LOUDON FREE PRESS,
For 1853 ri -F .esaa -#

Having assumed the onerous and responsible
duties of public Journalists we feel the Just de-
sire to increase the circulation Of our paper
as it viii not only increase our~ capabilities Of
doing good, but at the same time give us rea-
sonable remuneration for our laborS. Toac-
complish this desirable end, we have determine
ed 20 send out this Prospectus with request
shat all who feel an interest in the increased
circulation of our paper will send us the largest
number of subscribers they possibly can. Yet,
we cannot make this request without rendering
appropriate Acknowledgements to several friends
whose exertions in procuring US subscribers have
not been unnoticed by US.
mos We deem it unnecessary TO occupy lengthy
exposition of the leading features of the FREE
il Press. Its political complexion is uncompro-
misingy WHTG--but we are truly glad that the
-r7 evil times ofunreenting political warfare has
for a time at least ceased, and those so long and
sOrecently in antagonistic array drawing
together in friendship and in purpose, to mingle
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
interests and the true glory Of the land. We
look to the promotion Of the interests of Agrcul-
g. ture, of Manufactures and Of Commerce, as
being by far more important to the improve
e ment Of the country, than any political issue
.lt upon which the American people are extensively
b, sdivided. These great interests shall have our
. warmest support. Our leading aim shall be to
arouse public sentiment to the Importance of
H industrial progress-of enrching our fields, of
identifying our homes-of starting up the busy
hum of industry and enterprise. -
H As to the merits of the FREE PREss it is for
the public TO judge-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavored to publish paper
worthy of public patronage. 1t is filed with
readable matteT--containing the latest Foreign
and Domestic News full and impartial quota
tions of the Produce Markets of Loudon, Au-
gusta, Savannah, Macon, Charleston, and Nash
vile, with occasional quotations from other i'm
portaut points--together with the prices and
number of Hogs sold in Cincinnati each week
during Packing season---also the prices Of Pork
at numerous other points, so as to give cur Ira
ders broad and correct basis Of judgement in
regard to this important article of trade. In
a word, our paper is for the business men Of
East Tennessee. .-.
We are anxious to increase our circulation,
and have determined to offer the FREE Press
at greatly reduced prices to Clubs--money to
accompany the names as follows

Love is but the establishment of his early life

But woman's whole life is a history of the af-.

forth her sympathies on adventure; she embarks
her whole soul in the traffic of affection; and if
