341 I ascend to the cupola of the magnificent state-house at Nashville, and take a survey of the surrounding country. On every side spread out the broadly undulating fields of grass and corn into the illimitable distance. A finer agri cultural scene was never witnessed. A more beautiful landscape, diversified with broad clearings, waving crops, tufts of magnolia and poplar, shining mansions, withdraw ing vales, and purple atmosphere, it has never been my privilege to gaze upon. What is the subs...tratum of all this beauty of form and landscape ? Descending to the ground, I find myself standing again upon the opened sepulchres of Lower Silurian populations. I go down to the bank of the Cumberland, and view the sharp-cut walls which frown above the muddy current a hundred feet below. Here is a deep perpendicular gorge chiseled by the river through the marble strata of the Trenton and Cincinnati groups. I set out upon an exploration of the charming country mapped before me from the dome of the Capitol.
