call your attention to the fact that we cannot
rest supinely upon the supposltlon that II thls
conpec ION is not made, we will still retain our
present traffic from the West over our main
line from Atlanta 10 Augusta, Tor upon tue
completion of the Blue Ridge Road, 1t will pass
by thu nearer and more direct route over the
Carolina roads to Charleston.
Your committee have not overlooked the fact
that even il the proposed road 10 built, 1t Will
will be somewhat nearer from Cincinnati, via
Knoxville. Rabun Gap and Anderson to Charles

The distance by the former route being 145
miles, and by the latter about 76S miles, max
ing difference say ot 20 miles Ill favor OF the
former route. lbey would remark, however,
in this connection, that If the road from Au-
gusta to Port Royal IS built. the difference
would then be shgutly in favor OF tne route By
Athens TO the seLboard, over that by the Caro-
lima Roads to Chl.les,on. II, however, the
Port Royal Road IS not built, there ale conside-

A iseminiscence OF 1851.


Trinity RIVER when the Salmon
River Stampede broke out in 1851.
The excitement was fearful, the most
exaggerated stories of untold wealth
being acqu red by little or no exer-
ton on the Salmon were circulated,
and il was sacrlege to doubt the
truth of the widest assertions.
Miners left their rockers in their
claims, tents aud cabins We're desert
ed and every body wanted to go to
Salmon. The twenty-five dollar dig
gings at which our party had worked
conientedly before, became an OBJ
ject so despicable in our imagina-
tons as 10 BE- utterly worthless !;
nothing but starvation could be the
result OF continuing TO w0r- in such
apoveriy stricken district as Trinity
and he that remained was but little
better than downright fool, when
a tip of one hundred aud fifty miles
would take him TO q fortune. Ami
mails to ride, there were noae, so
there was nothing left for an enter
prising miner to do but shoulder his
grub, bed and tools and hurry oil to
the new 0phir across the backbone
ridge.
Myself and partner started with
the following cargo, as well as mem
ory serves at distance in time Of
eighteen years My "pard " stood
forth in front of the cabin, while ],
as cargadore, packed him with two
pairs of blankets, an lndia-rnbber
spread, a pick, 20 pounds of salt
pork, five of coffee and live of sugar,
a frypan aud a shot gun. After
walking round him to see that his
pack balanced, | took off the tdpojo,
turned him loose and led myself up
TO the cargo, whe g took on two
pairs of blankets, twenty-five pounds
of liour, a shovel, an AK, six pounds
of nails, Ii coffee pot, and rocker
iron. With this outfit we turned our
heads down the river, cried hupa
mlla cargo and trotted off il
the direction oil the North Fork,
at the mouth of which, tired
and sore, we unpacked aud turnes
out for the night. Nextday we toilet
up in the snow on the backbone, i'm
provised u bedstead on the snow
made a mattress of fir boughs ant
slept soundly until morning. Mex
day we overlook large ashore
nut" pack train loaded with flour
sugar and other provisions, feeding
-four to prevent starvation to thei
mules. These we accompanied t.
the foot of Salmon Mountains anG
encamped with them. Leaving thi
camp on the morning of Feb. 9Th
bright, cold, clear day, we begaI
to ascend a perfect glacier, worse, i
possible, than "Grcenland's lie.
Mountains. - Axmen were sen
ahead to cut steps in the ice, to pre-
vent slipping from the trail'-il
which case a distance of a mile dow
an icy slant of forty-fiye degrees wa
the least ride one could promise him
self. That day twelve mules, will
their cargoes, fell from the top o
the mountain distance of not les
than a mile, and sometimes mucl
further, bringing up against trees o
rocks at the bottom. Delay, 10 lool
after the falling animals or loads
would have involved the crowdins

save even the rigging and had the!
been able to do so the train wa
packed to It's utmost capacity, ant
growing weaker daily, and no trans
portation could have been furnished

six weeks compulsory abstinence
from the use OF bread had made us
keenly alive to any rllmors coming
from the direction OF the pack-tra rs
known TO be outside aud anxious to
get in. The first. animation came
from the direction Of the Coast, &C
companied by man with fifty
pounds of flour on his back, with
which he had clambored over rocks,
scrambled through bushes, waded
in fhe river and crawied over snow
banks for fifty miles, following tne
klamath up from Orleans Bar, by
way OF the mouth of Salmon. Two
hundred dollars Was asked and re-
ceived for his cargo, which was di-
vided among the purchasers, each
receiving a pound. Our party di-
vided the three pounds that found
their way into the bark house into
two equal parts, cooking one-half
for supper, intending to make break
fast off the residue but such an APP
petite was created for bread by the
first baking that it was decided to
finish the remainder at the same
meal, and let the morrow take care
OF itself. From this arrival it was
ascertained that Capt. MeDermit
tsince the late Col. McDermit, was
working his way up the mountain
from Orleans Bar with a train loaded
with provisions, and that he had
probably reached the summit. Half
the men in camp left early next
morning to clear the track by shoy-
cling aud tramping from Gulllons
Bar to the top of Orleans Mountain.
Half way up they met the advance
tramping party from McDermit's
train, aud such a jubilation as re-
sounded through those sounding
forest aisles" and walked the echoes
of those grand old mountains was
never equaIed by the klamath In
dians in their widest war dances.
The train soon followed, the camp
was supplied, prices came down to
dollar pound and the famine was
over.

strange betting Proposition.

An Office holding supporter of the "Bald
Eagle" yesterday startled party of gen
tlemen in Deaderick street by offering to
wager money that Senter would not be the
next Governor of Tennessee. By way Of
explaining his somewhat extraordinary
proposition, the enthusiastic individual
said that he would not bet that
Senter would not receive a majority OF
the votes cast, but simply that he
would not be the next Governor OF
the State. When a gentleman offered
to see him and go him some better, the
author of the proposition desired to modify
it by saying that Senter would not be Gov
ernor two months after the election. The
bet was not made. From what source does
this betting individual get his cue-from
Washington city are We to suppose, OF
from some unseen element of power nearer
home?

If it be true, as we hear, that the city is
two or three months behind in indebted
ness to members of the Fire Department
and teachers in the Public Schools, it
should not remain thus any longer. Most
of these persons are sadly inconvenience
on account of this delay, and it but simple
Justice TO them that their claims should be
paid Immediately. Their pay should no
longer depend upon what may be the
judgment Of a court, the result of an cleo
ton, or any other event of the future. The
laborer is worthy of his hire and should
get it, even if the city has to borrow the
money with which to pay it.
