THE TENNESSEE AND PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD.

On the Sd of June we published
an article from the Nashville Ameri~
can, about the extension of the Ten
nessee and Pacific railroad from
Lebanon to the Tennessee line, an
enterprise for which Gov. Porter
has been laboring for months past
with strong hopes Of success. This
road at present runs from Nashville
to Lebanon, and it is proposed to
extend it thence by way of Gordons-
vile, near Caney Fork, Big Sandy,
Wartburg and Clinton. This portion
of the line would pass through some
of the richest coal and iron fields on
the continent. From Clinton the
line would run through the lower
end Of Union county and on to
Rutledge. From there it would
pass up the rich Beams Sta
ton Valley on to Rogersville,
running at length through the coun-
ties of Granger and Hawkins, and
then Sullivan, near Blountville on to
Bristol, where it would connect with
the Norfolk and Great Western.
The advantage which the State of
Tennessee would derive from the
construction of such line can hardly
be estimated. It would develop rich
mines of coal and iron in the Cum
berland range, and the territory adj
jacent that are now valueless. And
after it passes Clinton, it would pass
through one of the richest agricul-
tural regions in the State. These
are the local advantages of such a
road, briefly stated. But in addi~
ton to these, it would become one of
the most valuable trunk lines in the
South. From Nashville and the
West, it would have the advantage
of all other lines, in that it would be
o shorter one to the Atlantic Coast
at Norfolk.
The advantages to Knoxville of
such road need hardly be stated

over the district now drained by the
Grand Canyon. The total thickness OF
the beds removed WAS more than 10000
feet and the denuded area more than
LOCO square miles The denudation
began in the EcCene time, and has been
continuous until the present time. A
great amount OF uplifting has also oc-
Cured during the same period, varying
according to locality from 10000 to 49,
600 feet, and the present altitude OF the
region is the difference between the
amount OF uplift and the thickness Of
strata removed, that is 1000 to 5000
feet. The meeting OF the Grand Canyon
is thus merely the closing episode Ot
long period of erosion. The cutting OF
the present Chasm is comparatively
recent geological event. and probably
mad its beginning in rliocene time. The
process OF eIcavating the canyon con-
sists OF the action OF two classes OF nat
ural causes. The first is the securing
action OF the stream upon the rocks IN
Its bed. The stream Is fierce torrent
carving large quantities OF sharp sand,
which acts like sand blast. A river
will always cut down its bed when the
quantity OF sediment it carries 10 less
fhan it is capable of carrying When
this quantity is greater, part Of it is
thrown down upon the bottom, protect
ing it from securing. In this respect
the Colorado is an exceptional river.
The other process is weathering. The
stream cuts chasm no wider than its
water surface, but the cut thus wldened
bv the secular decay Of the chasm,
which, though slow the perceptions, be-
comes greater after the lapse OF many
Thousand wears.
