Our friend, who is a high official in the r range, and who is in most respects a forking man, has a bad habit of not ?tarting in time. And before we get to Tohnston be Joses u}s overcoat, which be' j las taken as a proteotlon against impend lng*rain. Our goal is the hospitable roof | of Mr. Frank Boyd, two miles from Mt. Willing. We pass through Johnston at 5}. Johnston lies in the sunshine like a [long snake, and its business men sit in their front piazzas with an air which ays j M we are prosperous apd can take jur ease.!' They jeer us as we pass for }eir)g too late, and one of them tejls us, nth unfeeling malice, that Mr. Boyd ives only ten miles further on. We rive forward, and the apples in Dr. lima's orchard, green, red and yellow, listen like fruits, of gold. Johnston qay now be said to extend to Squire a?k Lott;s-pne continuous strang of j retty "pottages. What miracles cap a ?ilroad1 not'work 2* (fhu^ ?ar tUe ?x?ps pe s?ripiy beautifpl.

Thus far again, the crops pear to he exceptionally good. A mile i? side of Dr. Mobley's one begins to signs of "Ayeock." This is tho tao of the North Carolina turpentine fker who is supposed to be getting h at Mt. Willing.

The fate of "the .?i the Wood'' stares us in the face, retrace our steps and push on. We out the next citizen, and it proves >e Mr. Josiah Padgett. He laughs at i idea of our reachingMr. Boyd's alone, generously mounts a yellow boy on rule to pilot us across the country. yellow boy is "peert," and soon ls us by Mr. Mose Davenport's and lory Chapel. And soon we sail into with flying colors. Mr. and Mrs. ^yd have lights, and kind words, and fee, and fried chicken, and milk, and ?rything else that hospitality can sug ?t. Mrs. Boyd is a daughter of the Rev. Henry Herlong, and hospitali Iand good cheer come to Sei by right inheritance. And before we lie down sleep, we ascertain that Mr. Boyd nt the old Bonham place-not the where Gov. Bonham was born, but last occupied by his mother be I her death. The original home was lie immediate neighborhood, and the lily burying-ground lies only a qnar of a mile away. And now we sleep ind sleep well. And in the morning, ?r the most generous breakfast we have in roany a day, v/e start out to look I Mr. Boyd's broad bottoms, on a branch Richland Creek, and to see the old iveyard. Mr. Boyd is a famous corn rmer, and, we understand, has not fught an ear in seven years. And judg |g from the splendid sight we saw on jose bottoms, he is perfectly safe for rhteen months longer. The old grave rd lies in a low, overgrown and tangled >t near the stream. It in in two parts ie Bonham part and the Smith parc Bonham part is enclosed by a strong, >dern iron railing ; the Smith part by wooden railing, once tout and hand le, but now falling to decay. Here I the remains of the father rid mother I Gov. Bonham, and of his maternal Indfatherand mother, tbeSmitfc3. The lbs are in good preservation, and the iription upon the tomb of Gov. Bon 's father is as follows: "Captain ?es Bonham. BOIT? 1st of May 1766. November 27th, 1815. A nativ? of ryland. Though not 10, he was yeta mteer at the si?g? of Yorktown, Oe 19th, 1781. A kind husband, an :tionate lather, a good neighbor, his i wa? ever the house of hospitality." thc Smith division, where the tombs Ie also in good preservation, .lie ?he re ains of the parents, grand-parents, and it-graud-p'areuisof Capt. ToiaSmiih;. Luko Smith, Mrs. Arthur Young 1, and Mrs. Raa. Youngblood, jr. id now we embark for the pic nic at " the Mount"-this time not too tat Mr. Boyd orders a half grown slave "put twelve ears of good corn and plei ty of oats in those gentlemen's bugg for their horse at 12 o'clock." We loo at " Charlie," our steed, and wonder he is so treated in his Pleasant Lai home. We incline to the opinion th? he is not. And the next thing we not ic is Mrs. Boyd packing a huge bask? much larger than a child's crib ! And now we cross Richland Creek an are at the "Mount." This is old Mt Wi ling-almost historic-where Col. Jaco Smith lived in old times, and dispense an elegant hospitality ; .and where bal talion musters were held annually-? .which men fought, and bled, and diec for mere pastime. Col. Smith's house now occupied by Mr. Ay cock, is mue el"ujgedand dilapidated. But back t tko pic-nic. The hill literally swarm with men, with women, with chi.dren with horses, and with vehicles. Tw< group, of ladies and gentlemen are play iuR Croquet, while the old Smith nous is filled, below and above, with youth beauty, mirth and music. We take i sweepingglance, and we espy Edwardses and Padgetts, and Quattlebaums, an< Bouknights, and Smiths, and Trotters and Whittles, and Herlongs, and Stroth ers, and Longs, and Kennerlys, anc Corleys, and Wests, and Mathises, anc Yarboroughs, and Culbreaths, and For rests, and Bodies, and Mobleys, anc Clarks, and dwellers in all tho region! that in anywise pertain to Mt Willing And Youngbloods are there too-oui best friend, Capt. Jake; and younj Glenn, Dr. Arthur's only son, whos< great great grand parents lie buried ir the old grave yard hard by. But the Pomona Grange officials, wit! the exception of Master T. H. Clark anc one o- two others, are not present Theil homes are too far distant to make theil attondauoo very practicable-some ol them forty miles. The Pomona Grange will never be a success until its place oi meeting is set and fixed-and at some central and accessible point. Nor is State Lecturer Lipscomb on hand ; he has an engagement elsewhere. Isaac Edwards, Esq.. Master of Little Saluda Grange, is active in hospitality and zeal, and has made every preparation to give his follow grangers from all quarters a Saluda; welcome. But the social element I of tho day predominates over both hus ! bandry and politics. The dinner is grand ; it is like an inexhaustible gold mine. Never have our eyes beheld a longer one or a finer one. Our friends, Mrs. Boyd, Mrs. Mahlon Padgett and Mrs. Major Padgett pay us kindly atten tions at table, and we fare royally. They ask us many sly questions about " Mrs. Hatcher's chicken-pie at Pine House," and evidently look upon ns as a man who would not know truth if we met her on the highway. And we find out that Mrs. Major Padgett has a pie of pretty much the same quality and di mensions-perhaps a few feet deeper ! And now we are introduced to Mr. Ayoock and hjs hospitable and refined family. He-is a courteous and intelli gent gentleman. His turpentine works are four miles off; and it is said that he turns out daily 6 barrels of pure spirits .and SQ of rosqu or gum. Wo hope to visit him before tho summer i? done, and to be able to give an interesting skp^?h of his enterprise imd gf?fjf?j o?p;ap,$i. '''AyAt?i W mwz&t? by a large. circle of ladies to. play fur them on Mr. Ay cock's new piano. We ni?" ** and as we wh?^ _ rf ul course : out a staving Galop, .. e overhear a young fellow in tho pas sage say to another : "You see that lit tie man yonder, playing on that pianner ; /te'? the head of thc printing machine down at thc Court House." Alas! we say to ourself, what, after all, is human honor and glory ? To have fought, the great straight-out light as we have, and then be spoken of as " the head of the printing machine." lt is well however, that human vanity should be taken down now and then. And now Logins the dance. It takes I place, as at " Lick Skillet," in agin house I -in the upper story-warm and crowd ! ed. But what cares youth for heat and dust? Suffice it to say that all goes as merry as the traditional marriage hell. I Awl iroir thf. nun Jjlope" **? *hr gflri nil ?Ko aaoaal turn their laces "homeward. And we, wayfarring men (let no one add fools") set our willing feet in the way that leads to the famous "Dearing place," now tho property and h-?me of our old sand-country. Pine House friend, James L. Mathis, Esq. Six miles lie between us and our goal. We reach the old Dozier place, now own ed by Alonzo Bates, Esq., and then v;a, turn into a .settlement road, and, PAS& the splendid plantation o? Lu,k.e Smith, Esq., and. ftfe spjn,. Mr- Sam Smitn--*aUl j ^? & feS W>sfc. ekjllM smfl toriftiert * Wrs-iftthe, J^J. ?w<j . ^r i^pon, the broad ?ufcd - - we enter bottoms fci' ttl" ' magnificent Saluda ??Y^w- . . " Dearing place." The *- .vith sterD and bluffy banks, cov ered with ran .est undergrowth, most I luxuriant vinos and exquisite flowers winds in and out among these lowlands, giving the whole scene the character of a Ked River landscape. Acres and acres j of corn, green until it is black, tall until it emulates tho mast of a ship, and laden 'until it almost sinks from the weight of a single ear, dot the vast expanse, while he;*ds of lowing cows and grazing sheep roam herc and there at will. This is tho most splendid plantation in our County ; it contains 1285 acres, equally divided between uplands and bottoms. Such corn as Mr. Matins's we have simply never seen before in our lives ; no>* do we believe it could be matched this side of Red River. Nor is his cotton a whit behind his corn. And now we cross a bridgo in a very romantic spot, and draw near the Dear ing mansion. It is on a hill embowered in lofty trees, and is a mansion fit in size and style for an English duke. Indeed as we sit in the vast piazza and gaze up to the tops of tho lofty fluted columns, we imagine ourself at the White Sulphur Springs in Virginia. And our welcome, too, and our entertainment, befits an Enciish duke. And the ladies of Mr. Mathis' family-beautiful, refined and musical-add their charms and their amiability to the occasion. And we spond the evening in music and the dance, and sleep in an airy upper cham ber that seems a hundred feet above the ground. Really a visit to the Dearing place is equal to "going to the springs." And verily it delights us to see our old friend so prosperous and so happy in his Saluda home. God knows, though, it is by no means hard to bo happy in such a homo as that ! And now, morning come and break fast over, we walk through countless acres of magnificent corn and cotton, and look into a barn where lie 750 bushels of threshed oats, and then prepare, un willingly, to make our adieux. And again we hear the order : " Put a dozen big ears of corn and Jots of oats into those gentlemen's bug?jy;" and when we get Into the vehicle ourselves, we find a box that soon tolls its own tale. It is a lordly lunch ; and just before we reach Johnston we stop in theshade, and all three, men and beast, gorge like janj^ojidas. And now, having got so noar home? our tale is done. As regards the growing.ppnvandicot ton that lay along our route, we venture l? say that in riS'ycaf Kihee the war have tl.?y'IS?k?d sd promising. It is gratify ing: to see that our farmers on the hills aYe beaming contented to plant cotton only as a surplus 'crop. As things are going now, we will no longer keep our corn-cribs aud wheat granaries in St Louis, and our smoko houses in Cin cinnati; but our planters willbecomoa free, prosperous and thi Iving people^ The roads up the country are in as wretched condition as they well can be ; and the citizens general ty say that, if they cou1 i got the requisite authority from the County Commissioners to malo the road hands work, they would them selves gladly undertake the uecesyry repairs. Mass Meetings to he Held hy the Dem ocrats of Edgefleld. At its council on Monday last, the Democratic Executive Committee of our County, determined to hold the follow ing Mass Meetings during the campaign. And if citizens of different sections or any section-should in the meantime get up local barbecues, or any thing of the kind, ard should wish speakers to address them upon the issues of the day, we would suggest to them to communi cate with the Chairman of the County Executive Committee, who, we know, would see that such speakers be sent them : Mt.
