Rossville. This gap divides Mission Ridge and

TOPOGRAPHY OF TIE REGION,

The country north and eoath Of the Tennessee
4dFer Is remarkable for its peculiar Typographical
conformation. The Crest Cumberland Range is
not as many suppose continuous mountain, but
rather series of parallel mountain ranges, rocky
and jagged observing general direction from
northeast to southwest and separated By valleys Of
wonderful fertility and beauty. Through these
Eallics are the streams from which they derive
their names. The sequatchie River gives title to
6equntchie Valley, Lookout River to Lookout Val
ley. and Chickatnauga to Chickamsuga Valley.
These ranses from Knoxville on the north to
the arst range Of the Cumberland near Dcchard
on The sonth, are cut in twain dag
ona1v BY the Tennessee River. On the
north bank Is Waldron's Ridge, and on the south
Lookout, Sand, Raccoon and Pigeon mountains,
all abutttng on the river. and Missionary, Pea
Vine, 1aylor's Ridees, and host Of ranges and
ridges Of greater or less extent, all preserving the
same general direction, and although separated by
valleys, may be considered as part Of the Grand
Cumberland Range, tho southern extremity Of
which loses itself In the plains south Of Atlanta
We propose briefly to indicate the character Of
the country eouth Of Chattauooga, for there arc
stirring events transpiring there, and much inter
est necessarily centres in that region. Let
