THE NASHVILLE ASSEMBLY,.
Report cu the Boundary lne.

THURSDAY, March 2l.-In the Sen
ate, the ioint-committce appointed to
consider the question of the boundary
line between Tennessee and Virginia,
presented their report. They give n
historical accountof the question from
the first grant 10y Charles the ii, in
1868. to the present time. The report
contains n series of resolutions, CON
Guiding as follows: l
Resolrcd, By the General Assembly
of the State of Tennessee, That the
boundary line between the States of
Tennessee and Virginia, as run and
marked by their respective commission
crS in 1902 and solcmnly " ratified, es-
tablished and confirmed" by the Leg
islatures of both States i'm 1893, is the
true, certain aud real boundary be-
tween said States" and rs such is
hereby recognized and affirmed.
Resolved further, That said boundary
line having been so long settled and
, established. il is the deliberate judg-
ment of this General Assembly, that
any move on our part tending 10 un-
settle or disestablish said boundary, or
even TO awaken doubt as to its per-
feet validity and inViolable unaltera-
bility, is mischievous and wanton, and
not only wholly uncalied for, but to
be utterly discountcnanced and con-
deinned.
Resolved further, That the Governor
of this State be instructed to inform
the Commonwcaith of Virginia, that
FTennessee declines to do any act or to
enter into any negotiation looking tC
re-openirg OF the question of the
boundary between the two States. bot
regards said boundary as fixed and es-
tabIished beyond dispute and forever.

OUR Joncsville correspondent wish
es to know why Gen. Malone wishes
loo feet i'm width for right Of way for
the Cumberland Gap R. r. We can
only answer him theoretically. 1t is
believed that the line will be one. the
importance OF which will make dou
bic track necessary at no very distant
day. The width generally condemned
for railroads is so feet. Gen. Ma
hone asks for 20 more. 1t viii be
seen that he does nothing by halves,
and no:hihg that is not well done. It
is now. and has been, his purpose to
build from Bristol to Kentucky the
best possible road on the best posi-
bic line, and as proof Of the
value Of his purpose he can well
point to every improvement he has
made between Bristol and Norfolk.
Such is our confidence in the ability
and integrity of Gen. Malone that
We are sure he will not ask more than
ought to be conceded, aud the people
of Lee will yet find that he is
worth more to them than the entire
line Of Virginia's dead giants.
