THE EXTRACT. ABOYE REFERRED TO.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Aug. 9Th, 1857.
Il arrived in this city yesterday. after a tedious
and harasSng travel of twenry o,Ir hour from the
Montgomery White Sulphur Springs whence I
wrote to you last. The country from that point to
Bristol, on the Virginia and Tennessee line and the
terminus Of the Virginia aud Tennessee Railroad
pres very many attractions, well calculated -
diminish the tediousness Of the travel The distance
BETWEEN these points about one hundred and thir
~ miles In richness, fertility and b. auty of scenery
the country along this may be sail to surI;ss
any OF equal extent in the Union, or probably tn,
world Ii Is peculiarly the garden spot of Virgins
enough to constitute a very important Il mrnt in
the trade, which it is contemplated to establish be-
tween the Chesapeake Bay and Europe. In fact the
aucCcssO OF that scheme is based to a great extent
upon the of that region when fully dpy.4
lopcd, under the impetus of increased railroad flc
itts, AS We'll a. the connections with Tennessee and
Railroad will establish. The country along tnis
line Is very uneven, though rich to perfection (jn-
ike other regions of like physical outline it IN tn-
talnS an equal degree OF fertility. Fer pAsuragr
hills exhibit signs of richness in perfect k-eping
with the productive character of the intermediate
valleys the former beiuR no less remark able for the
production of beautiful beef and mutton than the
latter for luXurant wheat corn and oats As a proof
of the pre-emintnce which this region en- oys over
all Others in the State in these respects might men
ton the fact that by far the largest proportion of
prizes distributed at the az iculural fair, carried
OF by the farmers OF Southwestern Virginia. A I'D
strange, it WAS comparatively but little know pre-
yous 70 the construction of the Virginia rennss-
see Railroad. In fact without the facilities which
this line has aOrtted, its resources Woutd b. dey-
l0ped to practical good inaSinuch there was no
outlet for its products. Even now the work IF de-
vclOpcmtnt may be said to be merely III its infancy
for set the current of immigration has not set in
this direction, owing probably to the fact that the
