C. Sept. 9th, 1857. MI. EDITOa :-I forded the Tallulah not lon since, about fire mi!es above the Falls. The rivt let here is from forty to flity yards wide, and il waters are rapid, cool and limpid. The peculiar ty just below this crossing is the confluence i Tallulah and Tygcr-tail; the former is runnin East, whilst the latter flows West of South Wesl here is a collision, as well as a cc tmingling 4 "the silver splendors ;" but the Talhilah prevail and rushes on wit h its eccentric tributary towart that dark and yawning chasni, which fills the soi with terror indescribable. Approaching Tallulah frow the West, you pa! over a tract of table land, and over many a gent slope, which gives no intimation of that magni ent scenery, which is soon to burst upon the viev Arrived, however, at Captain BEAL's rural win sion, the only hou-e in the vicinity, you hear tlI roar of the cataracs, and you have before you suc a grouping of mountain, glen and crag, and bent ing sky, as wakes a thousand thoughts of poett and romance. You are delighted, enraptured enchanted ! Utterly forgetfuil of Horace's nt (i mirari, you get a guide at once, and haste to Vt falls so finely foreslhadowed. Such at least w: my experience. Visitors are gencraily conducted first to tle low, part of the main chasm. The chief point of o1 servation here is " Deer 1.eap," a perp.nudicuh. wall of rock 800 feet high, and it is so called h cause a big buck pursuted by the hosuds, onIce ni out a t:ime, phslitged headihong over this precipic andI was dashed to pieces utpon the boutlders beloi The view fronm Deer Leap is iniconceivably grat and splendid. The spectator may peer down in the tops of the tallest trees, as a giant would lot dtown upon a bed of violets; the Serpentine rapi< with a descent of U)feet are distinctly seen, at yet so far beneath, that their roar is subdued in a soft whisper; the other side of the rivulet pr sents an array of jagged ridges and towering cli!a which is absolutely painful to the visual orgar Just below are seen the Indian Arrow falls and ti P'rismu cascade ; thie~e asre formed by the ri~is th come tumbling down into the chasm from opposi sides. The prismacascade analyzes the rays of tL sun, and its appearance at 11 o'clock A. M. is said be singularly beautifuli. Between .Deer Leap at Hloricon view, there is a bubbling spring, which called " fount nectar." The waters of this sprit are cold atnd pure, and no one in the sunmmer se son could pass them by unitasted. Next up the river occurs the "Indian Conm Rlock," which is 1000 fee~t above the water. TI chasm here is 1200 feet wide, and the opuposite sit being topped off with a motuntain peak is 15( feet in height. The door like-entrance to a grot1 heyound the abyss is pointed 'out by the gid This fissure in the reek is called l Vulc's forgre Nearly every ,tre.- en u::e of the a jarcent moui tains, it is said, hears d!.c nark t.1 a thsntderb'o Than " Thunder lountain/' no place is drc:-dt more by the hinters dut nt a stormn. As the ligh nling see:4s to come fromt th~e forge, the -ame this cavern then is *etrdingly oipposite. Th~e sul lime picture spread out l.eneatih the Counci! Il'm is completed by the Hloricon eataract, the r~h cascade and a glimpse of the spray from Ocean Horie' n has a pitch of 50 feet ; it is the India ternm for sir'y weaters, andi any one who has sec this beautiful fall alistening in thte sunlight, wou be upt to think that the idea conveyed by the nan is no less true than poetical. Our guide, I remnen ber, in praising the beauties of Iloricon, said thiat "looked like syllabub lor th~e gods instead < wrater." (Bly-the-by, 31r. EDITOR, if you will Ien mue a parenithesis for a few seconids, I will give yo a funny definiticon for syl'abub, which I l--arne whilst in the mountains, "a great big little thing nothing at all alrr ost hardly.") Next in order is the " Deviys pulpit." Thi frightful crag, 000 feet high, does indeed resemtb the preacher's rostrum. antd to make the iliusio complete, there is a Reading desk of nature's ow forming at a propier distance below. It is calle the Dera~s pulpit, perhaps, because the scener here is so wild and terrific. We knowr from I1ol Writ that his Satanic Majesty, on a certain occI1 sion, did resort to " an exceeding high mountain, in order to preach covetousness and idolatry. little to the left, there is a ravine, deep and shad owy, and known as the " Devil's dwelling." Tw of the principal cataracts lend their harsh thundel and snowy splendors to make the view from th~ lDevilys ptulpit the most imupressivec of any this sid of the Clifton House at Niagara. In fact, I one heard a gcntleman of taste and intelligence, whb had seen both fails, say that lhe thought Talluila sup~erior even to Niagara. Oceanna is the thir cataract at Tallulah, counting from the South East The descent to this fall, though precipitous, is madI without difficulty even by ladlie4. After goin down ansd down for hundreds of feet you conme a last to a place or s eming enchantment. Nothina tame or cciitommonplaCce ets the eye in any dlirec tion. Ilcerc are the Sibyl's cave, her wash-basiri and Bruin's lair. Looking back at the gidd, heights, you are amazed at the depth of the chasm On the other side of thme river, the " Stucdent'sc ros trum,'' is seen at nu elevation of '700 feet. Th< rock wall, beneath the rostum, with its wel f.'rm~ied fire-place, and its st~raight seanms giving the apupearance ouf having beena built by the mason is bgh sublime and curious-a nmster-p~iece and a tbe same time a freak of nature. And then the I'oanming waters of Oceatnna, pcouring over a preci pice 120 feet in hecight, presetnts a scene of unriv .alk( d beamuty and grandeur,-a scene which is no1 to be eff'aced from the memory until the last em !ber is col upon the altar of life. At this entran wing iocale, our guide became animated and comn snunicative; "he was carelessly learned and blunt 27 elotgueaf.h After making sbtna ap t qlotation: from Byron and expressing his regret that the no ble Barb never had an opportunity of visiting Tal lulah, he told us it always seemed to him that "Oceanna was forcing out diamonds by machine ry without being measured." Tempesta is 110 I feet high, and Ladore the fifth and last of the cat aracts is 45 feet high. The most interesting point in going down to these falls, which are not far 0 apart, is the " Trysting rock." This romantic I spot has already been celebrated in story. Ac- b # cording to our guide's account, the ovephanging c rock here was once the witness of a very touching little love scene. Many years ago, an old gentle man with his wife and daughter were making the r descent to Tempesta; but the young lady becom ing weary stopped to rest at the Trysting rock. Whilst the "oll folks" were enjoying the scenery I- on the margin of the river, and whilst their lovely 2 daughtor was lost in reverie, she was suddenly ac Y costed by one whose voice had power to make her heart bound with the quickened pulse of emotion. e The lovers, long separated by Mammon's hard poli cy, had at last met; but their interview was brief a and painful. In vain did the young man, whose only fault was poverty, beseech his betrothed to it fly with him to some distant country, where they id might spend the balance of their days in wedded b:iss. The young lady was tenderly and devoted " ly attached to her parents, and therefore inexora ble as fate. With a cry of despair the baffled lover darts back up the rugged steep, and is never after wards seen by her, who loved, and yet refused to , follow himl. But the excitement was too much for that fragile being. When her fond, but erring par ha ents returned, they found their child in a swoon, and it was several days before she was sufficiently d recovered to tell whom she had seen at the Tryst ing rock. But to continue the description,-after e gettina down to the river, you are brought face to face with much that is interesting, sublime and picturesque. Your attention is directed to a minia ture lake, where in 1837 an English Clergy man, named Hawthorn, was drowned whilrt bathing. g This is called " Hawthorn's pool." A short dis tance below, may be seen -the precipice 50 feet high, over which a gentleman by the name of lanks once fell into the water without being drowne 1, or materially injured. This Is known as Hanks' sliding place." On the other side of the river, in a lofty wall of granite, you see the " paint rocks " of a bright orange tint. Tempesta and Lodore dashing impetuously over the great steep Is rocks, are " sublimely beautiful." Delight and awe strive for the mastery in yourbosom. Having lingered as long as possible, you turn to leave these S inspiring scenes with a feeling of regret. On go e ing back to the Trysting rock, you feel inclined to - sit down awhile, and londer upon what you have seen. It tills your heart with gratitude and joy to - think how much of the splendid, the eautifil and e the sublime-what an infinite variety of view h1 Tallulah has ever on exhibition for the lovers of nature. The mind beis now to take in the niag Y nitude of that terrible chana through which the - river goes leaping over a series of falls and rapids V until it makes a descent of at least 400 feel in less ae than a mile. * eccan view," a high ridge of a s mountain a little West of Talilah, is a favorite re sort about suin set. I was much pleased with what r I saw here. On one side, the horiron is graced >- nad diversilied~ by the Currahee, and at hundired ur other blue pieaks. Towards thea rising sun the vast eexpanse of the " low country," ha< a peculiar ap 7- pearance,-something like that of the oceana. e, Ik-ence the namaue of this view. '1 he le,:end of Tai v. Ilulah is perfectly in character with the locality, uad Ld also with the suaperstition of the lndians. Ini the o olden times, a clan of the Aborigines who lived k East of the Sahuda, sent out a select company of Is warriors to make an explorationa of " Terrosa's a wilds ' Tian.e sped, and no braves returned. Oth Lo, ers of the tribe wvefe despatched to look for the a'- missing party. The searcha was vain, and the In s, dians composing the second expedition barought ,s back word that, at the bottom of a frightful rent me ini the eartia, wheaw the waters all seemed to be it dashed into Ifoam, they saw the lilec peo~ple by te whiom they supposetd their "kitla nad kin" had at been sp'irited away to the Great Unknown. The to Indians, ever afterwards, were afraid to hunt about ad thae Falls o'f Talhulah. By thae way, Terrora or is ITallulah is the Indinan for terrible. ag On the Tugalo river, about 8 miles below Tallun a- lah, and about the sameo distance from Tocoa, theare is a valley remarkable for its productiveness and .; its splendid amphitheatre of miounatains. Mutch of athese finea lands have been bought up by a little je ceoloiny from one of our middle Districts.

THE~ LIBERTY OSF TIlE PRESS. Quite an animated conatroVar5y .aeems ti ove sprung u in the Charleston papers and others, touching the rivilege, duties, &e.. of thme conductor,, of the press. Andl. that we ea~u siarcely cee any cause for the fer mnct, is no sign that there is nost a great deal involved. The greatedi revolutions are often caused by the most iconidt'rable provoucation~s. The smallest spark maiy consume a proud and mnagnifieent city. The eloud not bigger than a man's hand has convulsed the at umosphore and ocean, andi dostroy~ed the mightiest ar. mamensts anud navies. If the pren~ was considered wholly as private prop. urty, and the Editor entirely as a private individual. owing no obligations to the country at large, then in. deed tho condluctor of a journal aight print precisely wha he l.leasedl and reject what he pleased, without regard to the wishes, requests, or opinions of others. But this would he giving to the press, a very low, in significant and unsatisfactory position indeed. We, as rell as the whole comnnunity are accustonued to cay "the Public Press," a " Public Joeurnal." and wre are used to speak of an Edlitar, as a " public servant." These denominations alone would indicate, that an Editor and his press have a higher duty to fulfil to-. wards the public, than merely to subserve private in trests, to prnumlge the sole views of one man, and to minister to his own selfish caprices. If we con. templato the press in this narrow. conteinptible light, mway will go all the fine things, and eloiquent passa. es ablout its liberty, its privileges, ranti its potential sway, in the advancemient of knowledge, religion, civ liation, ::nd civil liberty. When thme Editor th'ngh, is tdeenmed to be, as lie rely is, a public servant of the first class, and his sheet o be the exponent of the enlightenment. the intelhi enc, and the freedom of the country-they rise at joee, in our estimnation, to be thu guardians and de render.. of thte rigl~ts, the liberties, the law andu the su.ds o.f msi~l:nkil.

His Excellency and suite, (says the 'Laurensville crual of the 11th inst.;) have been sojourning with us during the past week, making Laurensville his Head quarters during the Reviews'at Irby's, Young's, and Jalapa in Newberry. A gfeat many of our citi zons are thus afforded an opportunity of seeing and becoming acquainted with our most excellent Chief Magistrate. Every one remarks his unestentations bearing, and gentlemanly and familiar manners, which are rapidly winning for him not only the confidence but the affec tion of our people. The people of South Carolina might well be proud to own among their many noblo ovornors, the pre sent Chief Magistrate, R. F. W LLsTOx. We doubt whether the State has ever possessed a more popular Executive. Unostentations, dignified, courteous, and affabele, and possessing a highly cultivated mind, he Is our beau ideal of what the Chief Magistrate of an in tlligent and noble people should be. We noticed among the Governor's Aids, a son of the late Col. PIeRcE M. BUTLER. This young man is a gallant and noble representative of his brave father, and from his bearing and appearance, the very im personation of chivalry. He is over six feet high not quite so tall as his fAther. was-and altogether one of the most prepossessing men we ever saw. We would warn the ladies who come in contact with him, to beware of their hearts. - The entire Staff are a fine looking and gentlemanly corpse of young men, well calculated to represent the chivalry and gallantry of the State. The whole par ty will carry with them the well wishes of the people of Laurens. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. pr" John B. Stanley,..of Florida, is the greatest hunter of the age.

Emmroits: .I have just examincid care fully my own crop, and the crops of' some of' my neighbior., and have also conversed with a ntm ber' of planters in this county, and from all the countrv Sotuth of this to thme Florida line. The result of nmy observattion and calculation is. thait the cropI of this section will be very short. Inm myown neighborhmood, the crop may, it' the fall ia very fitvorable' one, slightly exceed the crop oft last year', but the planters South of nme rep. resent that their crop will not be so good as last year. The weed is ge nerally good enough, but it is poorly frutited, 'The proapecct no0w ioth ing like so good ais it was three weeks ago. Th'le leaves are tnrning red and ftdling off,~ antd the fruit is shedding very badly. The crops are a~t least three weeks later thian usual, atnd if we have an early frost, we shall not mnake more than hall' a crop. If there should be no frost before the 1st of November, we may make a tolerable, but nt a large erop. These facts you may rely IM . PEEY ON A ORTIMEN TU- 1 The talented editor of the Greenville Plriot, I Maj. Perry, who recently took a trip to the North, wrote, while absent, several excellent let ters for his paper-from the number we clip the following, dated, PRIILADEi.PIiI.. August 30, 1857. We have just returned from a pleasant ride over the city of Brotherly Love. Philadelphia, is a beautiful and delightful city, very different from New York. The Fairmount water was pure and very beautiful. The open squares are delightful. They afford a pleasant walk for the citizens, where they breathe pure, fresh air, after being confined in their stores and shops. There ought to be something of the kind in all great cities and large towns. In Boston we were de lighted with the Commons, which contain a large number of acres. (seventy-five I believe,) which were given by Governor Hancock on the condi tion that no houses should ever he built on them. The Girrard College, which we have just visited, is a magnificent marble palace, built for the education of the poor boys of the city. There is something ludicrous in the idea of erecting such a palace for the education of ragged chil- 1 dren. How much better it would have been for i the founder of this College to have given the fund which it took to erect these buildings, for educational purposes; but he wished to leave a monument hearing his own name in marble, and, therefore, directed millions to be spent in erecting those buildings. The North and the South are very different countries, but we hope they will ever remain one great Republic. In all the Northern cities the foreign population have taken the place of the African race at the South. They perform all the inenial duties, are hotel waiters, backmen, police officers, draymen, boatmen and laborers of all classes. There is a very decided charae teristic diffeirence between tie North and the South in all classes. There is more spirit and a higher tone at the South, whilst there are more industry and energy in the Northern people. In dividuality is everything at the South, whilst ag gregation prevails throughout the North. The pride of a Southern planter is to live on his plantation and be monarch of all he surveys; but the Northern's ambition is to be one of a company whose object is to improve and civilize the country, and make money. The Southern people like to stay at home and enjoy themselves. The Northern people seem to be always travel ing. Between this and New.York there are six or seven daily trains of railroad ears running, and each train carrying hundreds of passengers. The other day I got in a large train from New York at Burlington, and had to stand up in the cars till I arrived opposite Philadelphia ! Not a seat could be had in the whole train of ears! There is one regulation adopted on the North ern Railroads which ought to be enforced at the South. No passenger is allowed to earry more than fifty or seventy-five pounds of baggage. I have seen gentlemen traveling from Columbia to Greenville with a dozen trunks, and no extra charge made for them. Such a thing is not toler ated on these railroads, and ought not to be; but on Northern railroads the charge is only one, two and three cents per mile, whilst we charge five! Would it not be more wise and just to charge less and make passengers pay for extra baggage ? I find that very few of the Railroads in the Northern States pay dividends equalling seven per cent., notwithstanding theimmense travel on them. This surprises me. The railway from Philadelphia to New York pays a fine dividend on the stock, but very few of the other roads pay anything. Most of the railroads companies, too, are greatly in debt. The INortheirn people keep very few private carriages. This is a terrible expense at the South, and ought to be reduced. To keep a carriage and horses for a drive of two or three hours, once or twice a week, is paying high for a little recreation. Here you go aboard of a heautiful steamer and run up to Burlington twenty miles, for twelve and a-half cents ! The expense of carriage and horses at the South leaves nothing to improv-e our houses and grounds. At the North, every poor mann's cottage is a neat, tidy aflaiir. Instead of keeping a parcel of lazy domesties to wait on you, the Northern people wait on themselves,- ands have everything about, them much neater and prettier. Instead of hav ing extensive grounds. unimproved, they have a few acre~s, welf improved. Which is preferable ? I have had thte pleasure of meeting several South Carolinians at this hotel, and amongst them. Mr. Nance and Mr. Carwyle, of Newber ry, with their families. MIr. Springs and famnily, of York, Mir. Hopkins of Columbia, and MIr. lIeniderson of Greenwood, and Mr. Murphy of Unmicn. Dr. LeConte anal his ladyare speninmg the sumnmer in Pphmiladelphia. They have just returned from thme Scientilie Convention at M1on treal, where the D~octor read a paiper on the sub, ject of light and heat, which has attracted con siderable public atten'tion. He explodes, by ex perment, the notion that light retards the burn ing or decomposition (of fuel. The Doctor has sbown that fire burns as well in light as in dark ness. Ie also proves that cold weather expe dites the burning of fuel, because the atmos phere is moroe dense. Wood will not burn as rapidly in summer as in winter, or as fast on the top of a high mnountaini as at the foot oft it. There ar-e few amn in our country more sce'ntt fie than Dr. LeConte of the South Carolina Col lege. From the Lexingt~on Flag.

A convention of the young men of this vicini y favorable to the election of Hon. N. P. Banks, r., for Governor, was held here this morning. About thirteen hundred persons were present, md the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Senator Wilson made a speech to the Conven ion, endorsing the Americanism and Republi. anism of Wm. Banks, the candidate for Gover ior. He also said that President Buchanan had 3romnulgated the opinion that the Constitution arries slavery wherever it goes, and he wished his monstrous doctrine repudiated. The elee ion of Mr. Banks, he said, would speak the voice >f Massachusetts in opposition to that dogma. When Mr. Banks made his appearance he was !alled forth with great applause. He delivered i lengthy and eloquent speech. He reviewed he Republican movement from the start, attri ating the National defeat to the want of manly ioncessions. He said: "We now transfer, for the first time, to the heatre of politics in this State-the great pur ose of the contest for the past two years. We lemnand the reinstiction of freedom in Kansas tnd a reunion of the people. The serried column >f Iast year will support us, and I feel as if stand ng upon our own native heather supportming the aith of our fthers, and I welcome the contest. [intend to religiously support the Union and the 'onstitution, and demand for the North and will moncede to the South all that can be claimed un ler the Constitution. I resist the interference Pith slave labor in those States where it exists. but am intlexibly opposed to the admission of ther slave States, or the acquisition of territory For the formation of slave States." He enter ained no doubt of the power of Congress topro 2ibit slavery in the Territories, or that it ought :o exercise that power. He also declared his al egiance to the American party. A series of resolutions of a Republican tone vere adopted. The Convention then adjourned Nith clheers for the candidates. NECK BnoKs ix Kissix.-On Tuesday night, i girl of seventeen, residing in Bridgegate, Glas ow, named Catherine Burt, was brought to the Jentral Police Office, having, according to the report given, had her neck fractured in a strug gle arising froni a young man having-attempted to kiss her. No extra violence, it was said, had been used. The injury appears to be partial islocation of one of the vertebrm of the neck, ,ausing great difficulty in respiration and swal lowing, presumed to be from pressure on the respiratory nerve. She now lies in a dangerous state.-North British Mail. Tur TRUSTEEs-AND THE NORTHERN Co. LErE.-Two correspondents of the Southern Light, at Columbia, are in controversy concern ing the course of two of the Trustees, who, it is said, have lately taken their sons to Northern Colleges. We agree with the writer who signs himself a " Father," that it is the right and duty of a parent to select a college for his sons, se cording to his own judgment of what is best for them. No one has the tight to hold up to pub li censure the exercise of this privilege. But here our agreement with him ceases.
