Let this road and the Greenwood road use the same trunk to Dorn's ft old Mine, and there will be 110 trouble to raise the necessary funds to complete the road. Let the stock be receivable for t freight and passage and enough can bo iii mnnrh.4 to hnild two roads. I It is j hi possible to buiM the road if everybody looks wise, and saj's that it will j not be built and at the s?mo time refusing to aid in its construction.

It is true, it would ^ 111 pose extra woik ior uic c ounty commoners but they would willingly disburse that duty if tho tax payors request liein to do .so. Should tho matter be negceted and tho discussion be left for tho ^ text campaign, is thero.not danger that ome olllco seekers will attempt to make i hobby of the fence law and other side ?sues, to ride into ottico, for which tliov % .ro incompetent, and as we are not enirelv out of the woods yet, our true poli- p y is to be watchful. Then let each n township get up thoir petitions to the v ,'ounty Commissioners by the 10th of it Fuly so the election can be ordered in ? iaoh Township tho same day in August, 1( nd an expression of opinion be given by s he tax payers. If thore is objection to p he present law let them indicate to the n legislature what they dosire and no lr loubt the Legislature at tho next session u vill adopt some law to meet the wishes of o ho people. The question is ono that will \\ dtnit of argument. As it lias two sides, o ot us therefore have the matter before tl lie people during tho summer and not d vait for the next campaign for demago- S :ucs, without merit or qualification, to ti iuve a liobbv on which to rido into oftlce. 0 M. c< ft TIIE FENCE QUESTION. n u b 'Small Farmer" goes for "Patron'" e - Scalp-Raising-?Whcre Does the j, Brain Really Lie? u p Editor Press and Banner: ]> 1 see over tho signature of "Patron" a s] cry poor (in my estimation) defense of > lie old fence law. fi He first asks what is the small farmer oi o do? I say for him to take a part of v lis rails and put them around some of n lis land that he is buying guano every v, ear to put on, and make his own ma- n in re at home to enrich the remainder v ,nd he will have room for plenty pasture fc lid farm. H Second, ho asks, what will a small far- d ner do with his crop when stock is driv11 through the country? If wo liave to tl ;eep up fences for the benefit of stock o >eddlers and then pay them one hun- n lied per cent profit lor" their stock wo are c< n a bad fix. He says that the small far- g nfirs nfivnr will airreo to the no fence law n ,nd if compelled to do ho he will leave " he country. We can very well do with- u ut any man that is disposed to have his U tock to spunge on his neighbor's farm it nd cat the grass that his own stock ai ught to get, and not only eat grass but o >ick up what feed ho puts out for his own d tock. Such men are not much advanuge to the country. According to "Mr. c< 'atron's" logic the small farmor is n mfortunate to have no timber to lj :eep a good fence around all his crop, v .nd there are hundreds of tliem in this V ounty. They, as lie says, will have to 01 nave their native State and go where c< nen arc compelled to keep their stock o enccd in so they can plant and grow c< heir crops, and Mr. Patron's stock not o: at it all up. As to the man that has no f< uid the Legislator has very wisely pro- li ided for tenants. I will hot say any- t, hing about the advantage of fencing tl?& a tock in place of the crop as all sensible tl nd fair minded men have long ago seen tl Ijo neccsitv of it. Mr. Patron says that si ny common man that would vote for the a jm e law is wanting in brain. Any man j fc bat cannot see that we are compelled to j v top cutting down all the timber, and the r< ooner the better, has no brain. h The most singular thing about Mr. b 'atrofi is, Jhat ho has snoozed so long af- o: >r Mr, Calhoun and Mr. Pettigrew hud ai iken snuff, SMALL FARMER. d ^ tl THE LOCOMOTIVE WHISTLE. tl .'he lireenwood and Augusta Kail- tf road--IIurrahing for the Press oi 1 n and lianner, W.

Delightful Hide With n Charming Young Lndy.--Tourist a "Goner," Alitor Press mid Banner: In my last communication, I was left articipating in the pleasures incident to lountain life, wbi?:h, to those reared in a warmer climate, and are lovers of nature 1 its wildest garb, and especially who in appreciate the beauty of fertile val>ys, and the grandeur of cloud-capod limmits, are indescribable. History lias ictured to us tho sublimity of Alpine eights, and bards have chanted their lys upon the banks of the "blue Danbe," yet how few ore aware, that some f tho 'grandest scenery of nature, lies ithin the wild and beautiful highlands f our own Carolina*. Tho climate of lesc mountain regions, om bracing as it oes, the medium temperature of the outhern States, is balmy and invigorang and unsurpassed on the Continent, wine to its salubrity, and the magnifi 2nce of scenery, Caesar's Iload, which is peak of tho Blue Ridge, and about 5,000 )et above the ocean's level, is probably io.st frcquonted by tourists. Standing pon tho cliff, and looking downward we ehold an almost fathomless depth, covred with a carpet of verdent foliage, irough which can be traced, by the risig fog, the streams which flow from the lountain side, meandering through tho laius below. To the west, our vision i lost in the distanco where earth and seem to blend into an azure hue. 'ear by are the Saluda Falls, which burst om the mountain side sit a height of ight hundred feet, and fall in fruntic ildness into depths below. The magificence of tho scene, is best appreciated, hen the sun first gilds tho lofty sumtits dispelling the thick fog which en* clops the surrounding country, and lints in bold relief the sides of Table Jtfov?r?cr un/1 tATVftra f\f* k?JC?V, IXllKl ^ill.|,Ull?id fvv?w istaut villages. This section is sparsely inhabited, tiougli its sturdy settlers reflect the glow f health and breath the spirit of contentlent. While the great Southern Staple, >tton, is unknown between the two reat mountain chains, the Blue Ridge n the eastern boundary, und the Great Smoky" 011 the western,?a dismceof two hundred and fifty miles in mgth, and titty in breadth, yet its valsys, of which we shall speak hercaller, re unsurpassed in their beautiful fields f eorn, yielding from fifty to one bunTed bushels per acre. For a few years past, a large amount of orn has been distilled in this section and otwithstunding the rigidness of revenue iws, there are some adventurous spirits, ho still persist in this illicit traffic, /bile we do not approve of the violation f the laws of the country, we do jnfess a sympathy for the above class of ur citizenship, when we consider, that >rn is thoir only product for sustenance f life ?<* well as the source of revenue >r Kx. M1.1v of them reared in the de1<;S of the mou.:t'?>ns, too poor to have ansportation for their crop to market nd ignorant of the penalties of violating le law, resort to the above means to pay leir tax, and to relieve their own necessities. We are pleased to know petitions re being sent to the President, asking ir clemcnev toward these unfortunate ictims, ancl begging the removal of the jvenue officers, who in many instances avo froru more expensive than profitale to the Government. The ill conduct I'these officers in abusing the families nd destroying the property of suspected istillers, and acting more lawlesly than le parties arrested, has produced a bitter nimosity against them. As an instance f this feeling, wo will relate an occurracc which happened to the writer allough it was previously agreed not to (11 tales out of school. A revenue officer, accompanied by band f troops had made a raid across the lountuins, and succecded in capturing a w distillers. Traveling ulong a few days ler, I chanced to t>ass a group ol' mouiilineers who doubtless, were discussing ic fate of their companions, and greeted icin with the salute of "Hurrah for [ayes and the revenue," when no sooner ne of tho number with enraged counteance, challenged us to "light out of thITt lar buggy, and I'll knock h?1 out of ou," Of course we did not "light." From Csesar's Head, wo directed our ?ur across the "Blue Ridge" into the lountain regions of North Carolina?a action whicli abounds in seenerv of tho ."Of rla<1..rin?;nn niwl vi i'l.l rnmr. iticenco. Descending the Western ope of this range, we renchod the faioiis valley of the "French Broad" in ransvlvania county. As a description f this favored county of nature, I refer ou to the following sketch from the pen f Miss Fisher, who has contributed so irgely to American literature. 'There is no spot which wears the crown r sylvan beauty so peerlessly as that ,ir county. Other counties may boast lountuiiw as high, and atmosphere as ure, but no other has in its aspect such a linglingof the pastoral and the grand, o other possesses such graceful alternaons of landscape, which, with the rong effect of contrast charm the beolder at once. It is a thrill of positive ipture that one sees for the lirst time le matchless valley of the "French road"?serene with golden plenty, and eld in the soft embrace of circling lountains. This queen of mountain alloys lies twenty-two hundred loot lx>ve the sea, and has at this boint an avrage width of over two miles. The iree forks of the French Brond?two of hich, rise in the Balsam, and one in the lue Ridge?meet at its upper end, and le united stream Hows, with many a 'indinir curve, down the emeriild nliiin. Training the broad lields and grassy leadows are forest clad heights, and yet r?yond rise8 the Hlue majesty of the randest peaks in Western Carolina." From the top of Dunn's Rook, wo fully ipreoiate the writers power of doscripon. In the distance could be seen the aid summit of the Chimney Top, Hog aek, and Pisgah, whoso range extended i until iLs azure beauty melted into blue ltinity. For fifteen miles, the pastoral alley lies spread in smiling beauty, with ,'ery curvfe of the river plainly to be aced throughout that length. Besides lountain heights, the scenery of this >unty is enhanced by the lovely falls of oncstcr, of Loking Glass and Glen Can an. Atlor an hour's drive from the rook, we (ached the quiet villago of Brevard, hero we were welcomed with that hositality, so characteristic of this niounin region. Though in its infancy it lias large soul, and its citizens are unsurissed in refinement and morality. Its nrivaled advantages ol' both soil and clilato are attracting a rapid flow of imrni ation. During my sojourn in this vilgo I visited several placets of interest in io surrounding community, though one impressed me more favorably than le celebratod "Brook's Farm,'' located a w miles distant, upon a loly eminent i'erlooking the valley of the French road, and around whoso base winds tho ream in silent magesty. The pleasure I" this tour was doubly appreciated by ie writer in being accompanied by the scomplished Miss , who added much i my enjoyment while in Brevard. In et? association only enhanced my appreation of that most estimable virtue, nown as Humc-ility. Many returns of lis occasion.

M. V. A. the distinctive wel- jy, come of the evangelical churches to our in eitv. And now, in their name, I say, i" brethren, 'Welcome, welcome?thrice welcome!' And you may rest assured i'j this is no mere empty word of formal of politeness on the one hand, nor of gush- (.'< nig sentimentalism on the other, but a "> word that comes from our hearts just be- ''' cause we like you, and that because, from calm, sober conviction, these churches "i honor and appreciate 3-our efforts to bring lumnp tn ihf. iJtvat. kinir Jesus, whom they all recognize us their adorable llead. And with your indulgence for a few niinutes I propose to present the reasons on tii which our conception of your worthiness of t!ils welcome is founded. J1' "The first ground of our approval of {? and alfection for tho Young Men's Chris- i,3 tian Association is that, though a volun- f.> tary association, without any sort of de- "t nominational connection, you show the "J; churchliness of your principles by de- sj, clining to set up any other interest apart m from the church, and have steadfastly Hi maintained that ground lor many years Sr,< past.

And added to this the observation: If f,-. our work is to be lasting, it must tend to ex strengthen, build up and increase tho l,e power of the Church of Christ.' Thus {V the Y. M. C. A., recognizing fully the ul] visible church as a divinely appointed jt institute, in which Christ, tho Head and t!i King, hath set some prophets, some apos- Jcj tlcs, it<\, claims only to go l'orlh under the broad commission given to every be- Ul' liever. 'Let him that heareth say come,' kl to bring sinners into the church.
