A TENNESSEE CLOUD BURST.

(From the Chattanooga Commerciall
We learn from parties who arrived to-day some
OF the particulars OF the great rain storm on the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad line on Satur-
day night, August 20. Residents stated that the
rainfall was terrific Grow Creek, at point on the
line about sixty miles distant rom this CITY, at the
head OF the canal swollen beyond all precedent
struck the solid railroad embankment, which at
this point was about forty feet high and perhaps
nlty feet at the base and composed of rock. This
was carried away by the water to the width OF 100
1eet or more, leaving the railroad iron and cross
ties suspended IN the air, sustained only
by the 1shbars Below, distance or
200 or 500 yards the current again
struck ike embankment, cutting away
and creating an immense chasm, moving at this
and other places between 1000 and 5000 feet OF
railroad track. About one-hai Of Mr.. Silas Shay

four children This occurred ut about eleven
O'Clock p. M. The building lodged few hundred

OF desire on the part OF the management to OBJ

solidated mortgage on all their railroads. &C The
circular announcing the loan says
Terms-The issue price OF the bonds has been
fixed at ninety per cent, in consequence OF the
general depression in all securities and as a
special inducement to the stockholders, to whom
alone this offer Is made.
One Is apt to get confused in his Ideas OF qneu,n

its owners. there is navor OF Jersey sharpness in
this idea OF corporation mortgaging its own
