The Narrow Gauge Road.

Mr.. EDITOR; Your suggestion in
your paper yesterday of a narrow
gauge road from Knoxville to En-
breeville, or to some point on the E.
L. K W. n G. Railroad near Eliza
bethton, running along the base of
the Smoky Mountains, is worthy of
the most serious consideration on
the part of our citizens. The sug-
gestion of a road, by way of SEWER
vile, to some point ON the Morris
town road near Newport, has often
been advocated and discussed. But
this is much broader and more
important scheme. The road would
be purely local, as distinguished
from through routes, and, therefore,
precisely suited for narrow gauge.
The Importance and value of such
a road to Knoxville cannot be
overestimated or exaggerated. l
mean just what 1 say. 1t is
well known that there are immense
deposits Of the best iron ore in the
foot hills and along the base of the
mountain, all along this route, and
especially in Cooke, Greene and
Washington Counties, This ore is
too far from the river, and espe-
cially from the E. T., Va. & GA.
Railroad, to available The average
distance from the railroad is from
fifteen to twenty miles. To build
lateral branches from that road is
impractica5le, because too costly,
and, if built, because they would
not penetrate, and could not pene-
trate fourth of the iron territory.
To do this there must be road run
ming by and through the whole iron
region, and not branches starting off
at right angles from the present
road. Open up this country by mar
row gauge road, and the most mag
nihcent possibilities and and prospecs
would be assured for Knoxville. We
already have, or soon will have, fa>
cihties for coal beyond any other
point in the South. This road would
give us facilities for procuring iron
ore greatly superior to any other
point. 1t would make Knoxville the
very e,atrepot for iron ore, as well as
for coal. Without such a road, we
will always labor under great disad-
vantages in procuring ore, because
neither our rivers. nor the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Road penetrate the iron region.
Besides the advantages we would
derive from the iron trade, arising
from the construction of this road,
there would be a larger local busi>
ness in shipping grain and stock than
along any other route in East Ten
nessee. This road would run
through and near the best agricul~
tural lands in this end of the State.
Between the iron and the grain and
stock, it seems to the writer that
the road would surely pay
Let us, therefore, at once organ
ize company, procure a charter,
and present the claims of this great
enterprise Ito Knoxville, at LEAST to

mile as in other countries, but with
the same number of persons to the
square mile in Tennessee, our popu-
lation would be more than eight
millions The State of Tennessee
can support a population Of eight
millions of people better that Switz>
erland can her present population.
We can produce almost everything
produced in Switzerland, and great
many things they cannot. They
have iron; so have we, in great
abundance, and in addition, more
coal than there is in all Europe.
We can learn great many things
from Switzerland. The Swiss fur
nish an example of-honesty and Inc
tegrity that Tennessee could profit
by following. The Swiss teach us
lessons in industry and frugality,
which, if followed, would be
worth millions to Tennessee.
In the matter of general
education they furnish us an exam
pie worthy of imitation. The whole
confederation of Switzerland fur
nishes us an example of what we
may be, and teaches us that the pos
sibilities for the future are hardly to
be estimated. The most sanguine
writer who has ever written about
our resources, can find abundant
evidence in the prosperity of Swift
erland, upon which to base what
may have appeared to the casual OBJ
server, his most sanguine and most
extravagant predictions.

TENNESSEE AND SWITZERLAND.

Switzerland is a little NJ ore than
one third as large as the State of
Tennessee Much of its territory
consists of mountains covered with
perpetual snow. Many of its vallies
are constantly threatened with ava
lanches from the ice>covered high
lands above. Out of every one hun
bred miles square of it's surface,
thirty are covered with rocks, gla>
ciers and water; twenty by hillside
pastures, seventeen by forests, elev-
en- by arabic lands, twenty by mead
ows, and one by vineyards. Its
agricultural products are confined
principally to the vineyard, the
orchard and the dairy-we may say
almost exclusively.
Switzerland keeps up a regular
standing army OF $4,000 men, more
than three times as large as the STAN
ding army OF the United States. It's
people pay an annual tax of nearly
$4,000,000
But, in spite of it's rocks, glaciers
and snow-clad mountains, Switzer,
land is inhabited by people noted
for their love of liberty, for their
industry and frugality, aud for their
general prosperity. Elementary ed
ucation is more widely diffused
among the Swiss people than any in
the world. Parents are compelled to
send their children to school or have
them privately taught between the
ages of six and twelve, consequently,
the illiterate population is exceeding
ly small. 1t is small country, with
comparatively few natural advantages
for the requirement of wealth, and
yet Switzerland enjoys the respect Of
the civilized world, in the very high
est degree. 1t has population of a
little less than three millions
In comparison with Switzerland,
who can estimate the possibilities of
Tennessee +? At present our pops
ulation Is about 81 persons to
the square mile; that of Swift
erland about $50. We have mo
mountains that would not be utilized
in Switzerland in orchards, Vine
yards, pastures, &c. We have no
glaciers and no mountains perpetu-
ally covered with snow and ice. We
can have orchards and vineyards
equal to those of Switzerland, and
our facilities for doing dairy busi-
ness are superior to theirs The
value of their dairy products are
from five to ten millions year.
Ours could be made to double that.
But, in addition to this, we have
such diversity of soil, and a eli
mate so hospitable, that we can and
do produce almost everything nee
essary to life OF comfort. We pro-
duce every kind of grain used for
breadstufs-wheat, corn, rye, &c,
and produce them abundantly. We
produce cotton, wool, hemp, flax and
could produce silk for the whole
country, if we would only turn our
attention to it.
Owing to the large proportion of
territory in Switzerland covered by
mountains, untitled to the habitation
of man, the population is not SO
large on the whole to the square

SINCE the reunited and harmo-
nized" Democracy of Shelby County
expressed themselves as being salts
fed with robbing the creditors of
Tennessee of half their claim, and
signifed their ''unalterable determi
nation" to pay the other half, the
harmony banner has tioated gaily in
the breeze. The Nashville Banner
and Chattanooga Times do not har-
monte to any great extent, but so
far as we have seen, up to this time,
all the other Democratic sheets, 1--WE
have not seen all yet,) have silently
acquiesced in, or openly endorsed
the platform of the Memphis harmo-
mixers. Some who, previous to the
late decision of the Supreme Court.
were talking loud in favor of State
credit, are falling into the ranks and
meekly bowling their heads to Savage,
the conquering hero, Some of them
have said hard things about Savage
and Wilson in the past, but would
give a good deal now if they
could wipe it all out from the files of
their newspapers and the memory of
men They once protested to believe
that the creditors of the State had
rights, but their eyes are open now,
and they see that they have been the
victims of a fallacy and a delusion.
They are now willing to force them
to take one-half and pledge their
unalterable determination y in the
utmost good faith not to steal
the other half. We congratulate
the creditors upon the happy solu>
ton proposed by the ''reunited and
harmonized Democracy
IT is astonishing that in the bright
sunshine of the nineteenth century,
| three great nations like Germany,
Austria and Russia should be thrown
into paroxysm of excitement, by
a past prandial speech made by a
young man only thirty five years of
age, while under the influence of a
too free indulgence in champagne.
Two men might get into difficulty,
who, standing face to face, in the
heat of excitement, while under the
influence of too much wine, but even
that would not be set down
to their credit. But that more
than hundred million of peo~
pie should be involved in
a deadly conflict with each other
over an after dinner speech made by
General Saobeloff, is strange COM
mentary on the civilization of the
age.
1t is true that nations have gone
to war with each other from slight
causes. Blood and treasure have
been wasted in the settlement OF
difficulties which appear to have
been as little consequence to the
world, as dispute between two
boys playing at marbles. The his
tory of the world, is history Of
wars, and kings and potentates
when they make up their minds tina,
they can gain Immortality on the
field of carnage, always manage te
find pretext.
