Time and again it has been shown that the Treasury is like a seive through which thi money falls and disappears forever. No on is r-sponsible, and the comnplaints of the tax-payers are uuheeded atnd disre garded except so far as they may be coustrued into evidences of disaffection and disloyalty. We are not disposed to prosecte further the- ungrateful aud thankless task. Other duties call us; other fields invite us to purer and healthier labors. This. however, we may be permitted to say in ulosing our reviews of the past and turning to the contemplation of that nobler task that lies before us; that much as peculators may seem to prosper; much as they may seem to flourish in mag uiticent pride and strength; much as they may vaunt themselves as lords mighty and invincible, yet for all this their DAMNATION sLUMBERETH NOT. e turi. to more pleasant themes; purer airs await us. We leave the delinquencies of others to consider oUf duty under the adverse conditions that oppress us. We have already Paid that oce of the first duties in cumbent- upon us as good citizens and well wishers to the country is to do all we can to develop its material re sources and wealth. We have a cli mate which is never very hot or very cold. The coldest blasts of winter can be met without flinching, and the heats of summer are never greater thai those of much higher latitudes. The soil is good, yielding a bountiful returji for the labor of the careful husbandman. All the forees of nature are auspicious, and never in vain is the furrow run or the manure spread upon the fields. There are, indeed, few regions upon the face of the earth more desirable than ours, or that yield a more happy and bountiful return to the itdustrious and prudent. It ill bceomnes us. the lords of the soil, to neglect such opportunities or to be u;nthankful to a bountiful nature that has done so much for us. We ought to feel hamppy that we are so blest, and thank God that some obstructions have been placed in our way, seeing tha:t these are necessalry for the de velopmient of the highest type of man hood. It may truly be that hereto fore we were too inneh favored and t hat, perverting and abusing the high privilege given to us. we were in mercy brought low, but not destroyed, by the rude blasts of adversity. As the mighty oak of the forest is firmly rooted in the soil by the strong winds that seize anid wrestle with him, so the strong~ man is made stronger anid more robust, both in mind and body, by adversity. We imiay then grow nobil.;r through adversity and rise to a better prosperity than our fathers knew. To do this we must cease look ing backward to the days thait are no more, but resolutely fronting the future must brace ourselves for the performance of any duty that may be imposed upon us. Is it possible for us by unremitting toil and industry to restore the imnpov erished fields amnd fill once more our depleted purses. spite oIf the ext haustive prcs that is continually going oin in the form of oppressive taxes levied under form of law? Is it possible for us to rebuild our fallen fortunes and wrest fromm adverse fate a gr:mnd success ? It i.I, but to do this we muut never indulge in any luxu,rious dre:uns: never cons~ider that anmythingm is donme until allI is done; never shrink from any labor or toil. however great, that ma:y be necessary for the acco~mplishmenmt of the end inii view ; never fear that the stunma scorch us with his burnoing. rays, or that our ha:nds may becomme hard and horny from11 contacit with the imiple mlents of hu~banidry; niever beashamifed to be seen driving the ox-cart to theI nelds, loaded with mainure from the farmtyard, and whenever laborem" are scare., never hesitate about taking i hold and doing aniy work, no matter how conmmon, so that it be necessary and good.

Let no man1: thinik that biecans5e he follows thme pl ouigh and spread.< manure upon the ti.-ds, therefore lhe must be rude aind vimewnish ini his manners and ignoanmt of letters. Let no ma:n think this. There is no good rea.son why the soul of the tiller of the soil may not glow with ideas, and aspirations, and im ages.and. :ho~ughmts.as pure and lofty as thms.- that filled the minds of Words wIrth. or She~ley, or Milton.

'Let us do this and failure is impossible. The State of (lie World. Was there ever a Golden Age in which there was no war, (,r strife, or cutention, or aught to 1roduce un liappinxess or pain *! Is this only a dream of the poets ? Or is it an idea given to man to reconcile him to the inevitable evifs by which he is sur rounded., and to cause him to hope for a future as bright as the golden age of the past ? Has man from the be ginning been always engaged in war and bloodshed as we find him now. and is this his natural state ? Must lie so ccntinue to live as long as time shall last ? Is he to grow out of his evils and find a better nature by the slow process of evolution, and by the operation of the law of progresiion of which modern philosophers are so fond of talking ? If so, how many thous ands and thousands of years and agos must elapse before the happy moment comes? Who can tell ? We confess that the evils.that we see in the world oppress us sometimes with a sense of orphanage that is alnmt overwhelm ing. But wbeii we look upon the splendor of the heavens, or the beauty and majesty with which the material uiverse is filled, at such times the soul is lifted up into a calm and serene region whete peace reigns. But in that region we cannot live always. The demands of life urge us.to a nev er-ceasing struggle. We live amongst men; we breathe the airs they breathe; feel all emotions, whether good or bad, that they feel, so that it is only at rare and most happy moments that we are able to ascend to that region which is above the mists and evil vapors of or dinary life. And it is only at such moments that hope revives and we are enabled to feel and know that at last the reign of peace must become uni versal. Not through the operation of hle law of progress, not through the atural evolution of a better life out f a seething, putrifying mass of cor rution, which will ultimately clarify tself and .east the dregs to the bottom; o, not thus must peace conme at last. But through the divine operation of Jod, who gave us the power to go stray, the power to disobey anid rebel, cause only by having this power ould we, or can we, ever be or become ruly men. We are not orphans. lIe aves us free, and we do indeed, often, md often 'Gu tsuch faintastic tricks before high heaven Ab make the angels weep ;" ut lie has not forgotten us, and though arkness is now upon the~ face of the leep, yet the Spirit of the God is oving upon the face of the waters, md the earth that is now without form md. void, shall be at last full of beauty axd harmony as the sun is full of light.

At S o'clock, HICKOkY WAS REACHED, and we were met by a Sotl, Carolina friend, Mr. Desportes, who had kindly secured a room for us at the Marshall House, a private boarding plat( e,in close proximity to itsmore a.,piring neighbor, the Central Hotel. It was a pleasant surprise to tind domiciled at the Marshall an agreeable and amiable pair of Lexingtonians, who two years ago left the sand hills of that portion of South Carolina, and settled here, viz: Mr. Ilendrix and lady. The maiden name of this lady was llaltiw-.n ger, a name familiar to Newberry people. There are others here from S. C., one of whom may be mentioned, 'Nrs. Dcard, for merly Bryce, of Columbia. The housc is well kept and boarders boun teously supplied with good things-chicken included-by Mr. Bean-not of the Snap variety, long, thin and stringy, but rather on the lButter beaun order. He, too, is a late comer, and a clever gentleman, full of busi ness, as merchant, intendant, landlord, and proprictor of a saw-mill. Not the least of his possessions is his infant son, Walter, one of the best, handsomest and biggest little fel lows for his age we have ever seen. He weighs now only thirty-five pounds in a thin wrapper, would be putted much more than he is but for his extraordinary size and weight. If he lives he will bc a second Daniel Lambert. - O urs is a HAPPY FAMILY, made so in a great measure by the presence of, and happy associatiou with,Dr. Terry and his iutelligent and lively lady, they are from Virginia. They, too, are new comers, who have found this place to spend their days in. Here too, and the last we shall mention, is an old reftugee frorn the high - taxation of Morganton, Mr. Anderson, a Scotehman, and a printer and publisher in the days of old Lang Sync. IlIe is a pleasant gentleman, abounding in 'reminiscences of the past. IIickory is an old, historical spot, and dates back to the days of the Revolution, the time which trcd nim's souls; and one tradition among others, says that it derives its name from the fact that in front of t! e old Tavern, which gave shelter and refrerh met. iii those days, to the traveller, grew an immense Ilic-kory tree, and undler whose spreading branches was bmiied some Revolu tionary hero, whose name is now lost in the dit past.

We looked for a little, Ilickory shaded hamlet, and found a busy, butstiing town, containing one hundred unid fifty houses and fifteen stor-es, vwbich does a thriv-ing business having the trade ot several rich counties. lickor-y boasts also ot a well-conducted and popular paper--the Piedmotit Press, edittd by Messrs. Avery and Ilussey, two young lawyers,who, we suppose, not tinding in this region enough to occupiy them in their pro fess ions, have taken to the press-may they make t;ood and lasting impressions. The trade here is mostly in barter, and the mer chants, hav-ing thus a double chance, are thriving, one of whom shipped no less than two thousand 5ix hundrel pounds of butter front here lately. The farmers are well-to-do, hearty, and as independent as wood-sawyers, and,who ride and drive the sleekest, fattest and best huorses we have seen any where, and who are blessed with happy wives and win some, rosy daughtcr-s. It is not strange that we have fallen DESPERATELY IN LOVE ivith-Iickor-y. And wve are not alone', for tbot one-half, if not two-thirds, of the peo ie of the town have come here and settled vithin the last four or five years, and more tre coming. It is said there mte nowv here ome twelve or fifteen persons hunt.ing loca ions, some of them seeing money in the nove, and others a newv lease of life- There tno doubt that hlickory is the place, and his Westerrn portion of North Carolina a PERPECT GARDEN SPOT. ~ight miles from Hickory at-e the Catawba springs, noted for beautiful sceaety, romantic urroudings, white sulphur, fron and Cha bcate waters, fine h:otel,elegant cabins, and ad-omely adorned grounds. A drive out lcre on Friday afternoon amply repaid us, ad very soon we shall repeat the visit, and ndulge in the pleasur-e then afforded. We mave seen NO MORE FITTING PLACE or the invalid than the Catawba Springs. [wenty miles distant by stage is Lenoir, and .bout the same distance by rail is Morgau ton, In of the oldest towns in the State, and enatifully situated in the Catawba Valley, nd famous in mountain scenery, its Mouin auin Itel, jolly lhndlord, and yellow-legged hickens. This is only the seonid mention, ader, that we have madle of CHtICKENS, d we would not have you think that they rc scarce in IIickory by any means. On the ont~ary, they ai-e p,lentiful,in good order nd cheap, and how often do we think of our Jewberry friends, who have to pay thirty ive coats for one scarcely weaned, while up mere they can be had for ten and twelve, big ellows, WnO KNOW HOW TO CROW. t Ilickory cihicken is delicious- We notice a the last IEuAt,D that the friend who oc ates our vacated chaiir, (and by the way lie is it most intelligenrtly and gracefully,) nentions the gift of a chicken, and expresses iis gratitude in happy rhapsodies-hse was iht, we have no do'.bt it was a good one here, but if he could indulge in a llickory hick he would soar aloft anjd cackle and v-ow in a different style- We won't boast ough, and exeite h is envy, lIe is~a good alow, of iu;fmite e:scellenicies, and is serving1 .n excellenr puIrp>se, so well in fac-t, hat if he does not fiy the track, or thiow off hec editorial harness, we ni.my keep hinm ini 'usi:)in sever.,l week,: lo,.-er. feelitu: satis ied th.t our many reada ~swill apprLciaite . -;& e whiea ill i w tmu-- in ru urn.

The Council is a dty one, and yet it is n,lanchbly to havc to rel.te that the people of Hickory are HIARD DINK Rus.

No one is iuir,. however, it is a drink which does not inebriate or break down the system, but ratherbitild, it up. There are two church es here, Methodist and German leformed, and a laptist editive in erection, a G1.ood Templar Lodve, with a member-ship of eighty, some good schools. and all the other aJjunets of a first-class town, such as Sewing -Machine and Insurance agents, etc. The people are alive on the subject of R:ii!roads too, two of which are likely to he built, one from Lin coluton, tilling up a ga> in the Wilmington toad, and the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge, both of which strike Hickory, and which, when completed, will make of Hicko ry a secoid Gothani, so thought. It is un fortunate though that there are land-holders here who arv not dispoed to help the work of progress iby selling their lands-it is so everywhere.

Its good just to look at his mouth. le is blessed with an estimable w ife. But I am spinuing this letter out to too great a length and must close by saying, that to-morrow-Tuesday -we leave for Old Fart, the Western terninus of the road, and abou t 20 i iles from Anheville, or some other point amon;g the mountains, atnd for a few days shall do the big hills, and take a delighted pcep into the gaps. Onec more adieu. For THE IIEPALD. MOCUSTAIN VIEw, JUly, IS73. MR. EDITOR.-We had been thinking of writing you a few "dots" for sever-al days, but "drat the Itck," we can't scare tll one single idea. We left you in oiui last at Newport, but don't for a moment think we have been all this tinic inspecting this little "city in the mottntains." We were rutstica ting antd only stopped here a night to rest, preparatory to etring Moiitgotmery Co., so widely known for its rich andl abutndant coal fields. Our stay in the little village was pleasant; here we met an old claiss-mtate, from whom we learned much about Ne wport and surroundings, and here, too, we met a fair and beautiful young lady, to whom we tried in talk, and not only to talk, but to out talk our rival, bat all, all to tio avail. IIe was next ugliest after myself in outr class while at school, but vou know the ladies don't much mind that, so a fellow has plenty of talk. My dear sir, we fear you are beginning to think we are out of news sure enough, but we are not, so here atre a few "items," if not of interest, perhaps of impiort-ance. The sub ject, as to what we will burn, when all the fuel that is now so abtundant, is exhausted, has been discussed long .ago. Water has been sntg:;sted, and even tried, but it is said "it is no burn." The immense forests are fast disappeai'ing bcneath the wcodman's axe, and before mr.ny years (hall have been marked upon the great dial-plate of time, they wiil be consumed by the devotning elements. T1he motuntains of this State are covered with such a heavy growth of timber, that to all human appearances they will never want wood for fuel. But there are s2ctious where they are not so fortunate, eities that have to be sulplid. and protected from the chilly blasts of winter. The qutes tion is tnot one of to-morrow, but of to-day. Where will they get their supplies ? We c.mt in a mneasure answer :From the.rich coal ields of Montgomery Co., Va. Whlo can stimate their length, their breadth, and their epth ? Who can tell the exact number of bushels of fuel tihus stored away in the bowels of the earth ? Who can tell how lon.g t will last? Political economists have tried o answer all these qtuestionus, but in our simationl, have fallen far shor,-o the mark. t is said that the science of mnatematics is oe of perfection, and that "figures never ie." Ye5, but men sometimes mauke mis akes, little mistakes and big mistake. ther counties are perhlaps equally supiplied ith coal as Montgomery ,>ut we speak of hese fields because it was otur pleasure to ass over them. There is also an abundae f rich iron ore here. A large comnpai'y as just been organized, and nre now fitting p furnaces, and soon thme black blast will be scending fromn these lills, and tons of iron uil! be ready for shipment. Oilier comp ies are being organized, and will soon lie at ork. 'Thue distance from the railroad is bout twenty miles over the moutntaims, and hills, and rocks, which makes the under aking one of enterprise.
