ANDERSON 8. c.. Dec 8, 1856.
COL Wdlter G,eynn, .s..
Chief Engineer Blue Ridge L"ilroad:
Dear Sir: In compliance with your instructions,
/ started from Anderson on the 18th Of November,
to make reconnaissance of i route for railroad
from the confluence of the Little Tennessee and
Tuckasegee rivers in jackson county, North aroli-
M, to Asheville in Buncombe county. Of same State.
The line examined passed up the valley Of the
Tuckasegce river to the mouth Of SCOTS Creek and
three miles up this creek, distance Of thirty two
miles, with an average grade of not morUthan 81
feet per mile crossing in this distance the Tuckasc
gee twice, SCOTS creek twice, Forney's creek. No
Land creek, Deep creek and Luf,y, where wooden
bridges of large span would be required; and ten
runs where arched cuiverts would be used cncoun-
tering nine sharp bends. involving heavy work, in
one or two of which small tunnel may be rcsortctl
to with advantage; and one tunnel about 1900 feet
long in connection with the two crossings Of the
river above mentioned, which would save more than
one mile in distance.
From the point OH SCOTS creek above mentioned.
to its head the distance is about 10 miles requiring
a grade Of about 10 feet per mile, and very heavy
work; at the head of this creek a tunnel Of about
5000 feet will bring the line to the head Of Richln
creek thence to the point at which it cmptics into
Pigeon river, 12 miles, an average grade Of about
81 feet per mile will lie required thence up Pigeon
river, crossing to the head Of Hommony creek
miles, with grade not exceeding 81 feet per mile,
grading up the river SLOPE and passing through the
ridge to the head Of the creek, by a short tunnel
thence down Homnony to and across French Broad
river to point about 8 miles from Ashcvillc dis
lance Is miles, with average grade Of about ~ feet
per mile. ...... a.. ..-...-.,..- .ts
At this point my examination closed, As sup
posed connection would there be formed with the
North Carolina Railroad and together, the means Of
communication with Ashevillc be determined.
The difficult portion Of this line will be the II
miles on SCOTS creek, including the tunnel; the
fall is great and irregular the valley crooked with
out regular slope, but indentcd with numerous
ridges or points, and ravines involving heavy cut.
ting and filing; the remainder of the line is very
favorable for . railroad ~
present rough estimate of distance and cost:

I Knew She would.

Deacon w. was a staid and honest Bap-
fist deacon in one of the interior towns OF
this State, who had vein of dry, caustic
humor in his composition. The deacon had
boy of some dozen summers, who was in.
clined to be little ugly when not under the
parental eye. In school, especially John
was a source of constant annoyance to the
teacher.
One day the mistress punished him for
some misdemeanor, and John went home
crying, and told his father that the mistress
had whipped him.
'Whatr exclaimed the deacon, elevatins
his eyebrows, been whippedY
'Ya-a-s,' sobbed John.
And did you let Toman whip ye 2 shout
ed the deacon.
'Ya-a-s. l couldn't help it
Well. John, you little rascal, you go to
| school TO morrow, and if Miss-under
takes to whip ye again, you just pitch in /;
don't let NOmdn whip ye, if We can help it.
Don't take any stick to strike with, but We
may strike scratch, bite and kick as much
as We re a mind to-
The next day John went to school, and,
emboldened by the permission given by his
father, was soon brought before the tribunal
of violated rules. The teacher undertook to
correct him, and he did as his father told
him. The result WIS that John got most
unmerciful trouncing and was thoroughly
subdued. When he went home he went to
his father, crying:
We'll, dad, got an awful bad lickin' to.

WHAT said the old descon, did you let
that woman whip ye again..
'Ya-a-s, whimpered John, Il kicked struck
and tit her all 1 could, but she damned me
orfully.
'Ahar chuckled the humorous old dea-
con, you tarnsl little TOOL, knew she would;
and she'll give you . trouncing every time
she undertakes it; 90 l advise ye to behave

John began to have some perception OF
his fathers motive, and ever afterward he
was sadder and wiser boy.-[ Aroostook
