Surveying on South and Western.

The work of surveying for the South
and Western railroad through the
mountains of this section of country
continues. Mr.. Carter's company now
has nine corps of surveyors in the field
running levels, etc., through different
sections.
These engineers are now working at
points along the proposed route from
North Carolina to the breaks of the
Cumberland mountain in Dickinson
county, Va. The corps in charge of
Engineer Huffaker is now camping in
tents in Caney Valley, about seven
miles from Speers Ferry, Va, where
they have big job before them.
1t is now understood that this road
will cut tunnel through Clinch noun
tain just above Speers Ferry, thus
shortening the route some eight or ten
miles and gaining a considerably bet
ter grade through that section.
Passing through the tunnel, which
will be about 8 800 feet in length, they
will strike the old grade at the mouth
Of Postum Greek and go on to near
Clinchport and thence up Clinch river
through the valley.
The company has two tunnel experts
in that section who are working in con-
junction with the surveyors.
Each Of the nine surveying corps are
busy and are rapidly pushing their
work to completion. They are estab-
fishing some very low grades for a
rough mountainous country.
According to the present route the
road will not come closer to Bristol
than Kingsport, Tenn. From the great
amount of work now being done by
these engineers it looks like the road
may be pushed to completion. Bristol

Valuable Relic.

One of the most interesting relics
that will be seen at the United Confed-
crate Veterans reunion at Louisville
will be the sword of Gen. John H.
Morgan. 1t will be in charge of P. M.
Griffin, of Nashville. 1t was discov-
cred in the possession of a Nashville
negro, the son of Gen. Morgan's body
servant by Samuel Holt, a union vet
eran, who deposited check for 500 as
a guarantee that he would return the
sword if the negro would allow it to be
taken to Louisville.
The name of the famous Confederate
general is engraved on the handle, L
is supposed that when Gen. Morgan
was slain his faithful body servant tool
possession of his sword and handed ii
down to his son. Until its disco very 10y
Holt no one knew what had become o.
the weapon.

The Taylorof and the Carmackovitch
are cruising in Tennessee waters, each
being sighted in this vicinity recently.
Each is ready to clear for action on
short notice, with range finders laid
aloft and starboard batteries full
manned. They may be distinguished
in the offing by their colors, the crows
nest of the Carmackovitch being paint
ed red while that of the Tayloroff shines
above the gun deck like sig nal tower,
Imprinted but FURNISHED. The ammu-
milton rooms of each are we'll supplied
with language, and their rapid fire vo-
cabularies are in excellent condition.
Each has . torpedo tube, but instead
of the Whitehead torpedo one uses the
redhead and the other the baldhead
type, they being regarded as more eff
fective than the gumphead variety,
which was SO diligently used against
the State in its last encounter with
the Legislature. Each vessel carries
enough fuel for years cruise, and
they are expected to engage each other
in the Primary Straits instead of the
Legislative Sea, where the waters are
treacherous and full of reefs. The Car
mackovitch is the newer vessel, but has
seen service, while the Tayloroff has
been in several engagements. If Meth
er fees or surrenders it will be q fight
