Oar European Correspondence. VIENNA, Austria, July 16th, 1873. Dear Advertiser,-Since ray last, I have done some of the most oojoyahle portions of ray European journey. After leaving Roin? the second time, we came, via Leghorn, toPi**. where we spent quite a pleasant day. We ascended tho famous .'leaning tower" of course, and like ij-iost visitors did our share of specula ting as to whether the " leaning1* was the Architect's intention or mistake. Near the tower or 11 Campanile," is the .'Holy Field," a covered, Colonaded Monumental Burial Place, of considera ble extent; the earth of which this is formed was brought from Mount Calvary. We next came to. Florence, "vhere we spent several days in visiting Studios of American Sculptors, the Art Galleries, Palaces, Churches, etc. This City lies oil each sido of the River" Arno, and is one of the loveliest places in all Italy. It is also one of the greatest homes of Art. It has charming environs, and the sight throughoutthesemagnificent drives and gardens, are made available for all. Florence is not plagued with the heats of summer or with* the cold of winter ; living is good here and cheap. Groves . and flowers aro beautiful and luxuriant ; hence the appropriateness of its name. Our next important stay was in Venice, the quiet City of the Sea. I would ad vise all travelers on the Continent to visit this novel and beautiful City. It is entirely different from anything I have seen, and is more emphatically a water City than I had even supposed. It is about three miles from the main land to its nearest border. Its canals are its streets, and its peculiar means of loco motion are the "Gondolas" or Boats Thej' are funeral looking vehicles which is a peculiar institution of Venice, and have the entire monopoly of the Canal Street, no noisy Streetcar or Cab dispu ting its passage. We spent the most of 'our time in traversing the City and its moro important Islands and environs. We took, as asual, in our rounds, the palaces, galleries;, and most important points of historical note. Venice is lit erally crammed with objects of interest, principally historical, but many artistic. One part of our round not to be forgotten was thc visit to tho Isle of Aluranto, cele brated as having long enjoyed a monopo ly of tho Glass Manufacture. Hore you1 can see the original Venetian Glass in every process of its manufacture. Wo wandered through the long line of shops, only disturbed by an army of beggars, who literally besieged us from every quarter. Of the 72 Islands in Venice ; or on which Venice is built, "Gido," which is a favored sea shore resort, i? the only Ono on whioh horses are to bc seen. We next came to Trieste, tho sea-port of Vienna, a town of little special inter est, where, upon spending only a single day, we came on to this City, one of the greatest and handsomest in Europe. Vienna is a very old city, but has of late years been greatly improved. An im mense amount of building has been done here, and scores of magnificent buildings in all parts of the city are rapidly rising. The present emperor has expended burge sums continually, to make Vienna a rival of Paris, but its architectural merits are combined with great incongruity. No continental city can show such progress as Vienna for the last Ave years. The exposition is bewildering in extent and magnitude, so much so indeed th?: it would be folly for me even to attempt to give you a description of it. It is thc most gigantic show that human eye ever beheld. In fact it is simply an incon ceivably immense affair which greatly outdoes the past, and is not likely to be repeated in the future ; not even in Philadelphia in 1876. In a financial point of view it cannot prove a success to the Vienese; for which they are partly to blame, by publishing to the world beforehand their exorbitant cha; gos, in consequence of which people be came discouraged from coming herc. And not until tho fatal impression had gone abroad, did tiio Government inter pose to remedy the matter. But it was too late ; the damaging report was out in advance ; and the large attendance that so distinguished the London and Paris Expositions is uoc likely to mark that ol' Vienna. I do not mean to say that the Exposition is unvisited, or not very largely attented ; I only wish to say that tho number of visitors is falling far be low the expectation of the managers, and very short of what the merits of th* Exposition really warrant. Well, w< spent the Fourth of July iu this city, and although a naturalized American citizen of late, we did not join in the Celebration, nor attend, the American i Banquet-a clear gain of S2?.00 ! Arriving hereon the 2nd inst., we have spent the most of our time in der Welt Ausstellung (the World's Fair) walkin; perhaps 25 miles per day, inore or less. This is rather fatigueing in this hot cli mate; but I shall keep it up another week, endeavoring to pass through all the Departments of tho Industrial exhi bition. The Americans make rather a small show with their industrial production; indeed the small space allotted to them is almost empty. But everything Ameri can seems to bo greatly admired b;. everybody. The Sowing Machines form the greatest feature.in their department, and are pronounced the best in thc world The harvesting machines are also well represented and take precedence ovci all others. England stands emphatically first in steam Engines and all heavy rn: '-inery steam Ploughs, Boilor Works, 7r~i Bridge Building, Navigation, Ship Build ing, dec. England is also very largely represented in Agricultural productions. The special products of Austria .and her Dependencies are the most noticea ble and of the greatest extent. Then' are tho leathern fabrics of Vienna; the bronzes, woolens, ?fee., of Austria proper, and the glass waro and porcelains of) Bohemia, which will feast the eyes of all beholders. There are also many fine Carvings of Germany and Switzerland, and Mosaics and smaller art works of | Italy. The French Department, next in size to tho Austrian, is second to none in splendor and progress; in fact, itsu: passes others in several respects. Their porcelain wares, in which they have ex celled for the last three hundred yea aro still considered superior to all other manufactures. The large amount of diamonds, em eralds, pearls, and other precious stones of Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, England, and Russia, form the greatest attraction of tho Fair ; especially those gems which are said to belong to the Crowns of Russia and Austria. Fine laces, silks, poplins, and numerous other kinds of ladies' fineries (too many to lake in !) are arranged in the different groups, in a most tasteful manner. They fire truly beautiful. The loveliest thing that I have seen in this line is a black Bilk dress with "rib sleeves," and trim mings and a huge trail of royal point lace. There are eight other dresses in the same group also very beautiful. They ore the most stylish I havs ever seen, and were sent from Paris. None are for sale. Nor should I forget to monlion the Gallery of Fine Arts, which form3 so alluring a feature , of this great exhibi tion. A separate building is set apart for this purpose, filled with magnificent specimens of tho Painting, Sculpture, Carving 3nd Moulding of every country in Europe. During my stay in Vienna, I have more than on.co attended tho perform ances at tho Grand Opera and at the Stadt Theatre, where thc representations -always of the highest order-are, tin der present circumstances, superlatively splendid and perfect. I have striven to give you a few gen eral items of the great Vienna Exposi tion, b?t, verj- frankly confessing that the subject is loo much for me to handle, fear I have failed to interest either you or your readers. M. A M Letter lroru General Beauregard? General Jubal Early's letter about the situation of political affairs in Louisiana contains extracts from a letter written to him by General Beauregard, in which the latter says : ^ Like many others, you think we have "time to ?vait, and allow matters to adjust themselves quietly and gradually ; but 1 can assure you we are driven to the wall, and .' are on our last legs." . No one can realize our sad distress unless he witnesses our condition. It makes one's heart bleed to think of the poverty and ruin which are actually starmg in the face of most of our best people. I do not speak for my self and family ; for, thanks to ray pro fessional reputation, I can manage to get alung comfortably enough here or- else where, but I refer to these thousands ol planters who have no other resource than i heir industry and knowledge of the soil. Take away from them their plantations, and they will be perfectly helpless. Our " unification" movement may not take " like a prairie fire," but it will surely sue ceed in this State when viewed in its proper light; for, after all, we only pro po: e to accord to the colored people the political and civil rights guaranteed to them by our Radical constitution, on con dition that they will aid us in getting rid pf those vagabonds who have plundered us so unmercifully for the last five years. In advocating this plan I give up no prin ciple, and wish to part with no triends. I believe now, as I did when I tired the first gun in 1861, and one of the last! in 1865, that the cause we upheld was a just and holy one ; but we failed in our strug gle-were overpowered and conquered and we have to submit to thc old Gallic max ira malheur aux vaincus. I view our pres ent condition in its practical light. If I were attacked by asetof highway robbers, and some negroes could come to my as sistance, ought I to refuse their aid because they are colored people? No, indeed ! I wou'd accent it, and give them probably my shirt with .which to make a rope to hang the scoundrels ; and thus I am will ing to do for the plunderers of Louisiana. This movement is not at all political, nor do I recommend it to other States. not similarly situated, where the inhabitants are not boldly called upon by those in au thority (under the protection of Federal , bayonets) to " stand and deliver." What I recommend to my people is simply " uni fication" to rid ourselves of those, unscru >ulous carpet-baggers who are ruining us, md " immigration" to enable our planter. to change their extensive and expensivi plantations into small, profitable farms, by which also we will be able to turn our va grant colored population into property-, nolders and tax-payer?j, thereby making them useful, conservative citizens. My frinds need not fear that I shall go further in this movement than at first intended. I am no politician, and have no desire to occupy office, either Federal, State or mu nicipal; no consideration at present (in view of the position I have assumed) could induce rae to accept one if tendered. Those who are absurd and unjust enough to com pare me to an ex-Confederate officer whosp mourning wa wear in our hearts, must know very little of me if they suppose 1 am about to follow his example. I have too high a regard for toy reputation (which belongs not alone to moj ever to forswear the past, but, vt the same time, 1 olaim the right of advising, to the best of my ability, my fellow-citizens of Louisiana what'ia best to do to save themselves and their State from utter ruin and desolation. ! Having done so, my part is ended, and theirs must commence. 1 AN ALDERMAN CASKS A WITNESS ON TUE STAND.-Several days ago, Alderman C tesar Lowndes, a negro, was arraigned b 'fore Trial Justice S. E. Stratton, on a charge of assault and battery. During the progress of the trial, theaforeseid al derman became highly incensed at a boy who w;is giving evidence and fell upon him with a club, beating bim severely The trial justice imposed a fine of S3S upon Lowndes for the offense. Yesterdav, Governor Moses, in consid eration of the past political services of the aforesaid alderman, or probably with an eye to the prospective, sent an order to the trial justice, very graciously remit ting the fine imposed upon Lowndes, who is a " trump" in the Radical camp. Thus we have another evidence of the mode in which justice is administered by the pres ent regime here, and the remarkable dis play of a Governor who is willing to pan der to the basest passion, in order to screen his personal friends from suffering their just deserts. Verily, we have fallen upon perilous times!-Columbia Daily Sun. In certain localities of the North there exists an old belief that when two marri ages takes place at the same time, the bride who leaves the church before tho other will have a boy ferber first child. Two weddings were celebrated simultane ously a few davs back at Archies, in that department. The ceremony over, the two couples with their friends hastened to reach *he door, and arrived there just at the same time. The situation became1 embarrassing, for the two parties had stop* pod and exchanged looks of defiance. For tunately, the mayor was a man of re sources, for he stepped forward, and, giv ing an arm to each of the young wives, took them out together to the great relic; .'twill the friends on both sides.-Chester Reporter. CUNDURANGO IDENTIFIED.-Who of ll?. . -ks the Washington Star, recognized in condurango, the once much vaunted rem edy for cancer, an old acquaintance? Nj, one, and yet if a correspondent of the [ t Jacksonville, Fla., Union is to be believed, that sounding title is only another name for a well known graceful" vine, the fruit of which has been used in this section as a household remedy for cuts and burns tor many years. Thc writer says that what is called condurango in Ecquador is ex ictlv the same vine which in San Domin go, Porto Rico, Cuba, and in many of the South American republics, is known by j 1 the name of condeamor, and is nothing J 1 more or ?ess than our ornamental vine called balsam apple, the fruit of which we all know possesses most wonderful healing virtues. I ( The Administration seem to be doing its J ( very best to get up a war with Mexico G-nc-ral Belknap, it is well known, wouh! like to have it brought about. In the ab sence of news from official sources, flu Administration organs try to " fire the American heart" by the publication ot letters professing to give correct account> J 1 of raids upon American territory by Mex ican marauders, and of outrages upon American citizens, but when inquiry is made at the War Department the reports ire seldom verified. Only occasionally is there a slight foundation for tho stories. An Administration paper demands almost savagely that there is no further trifling , with Mexico. The War Department is | ?eady at any time to involve us ia a war, 3ut the Secretary desires first by these jubilations to endeavor to arouse a feel- j r ng that will sustain him. RETURNED TO HIS OLD HOME.-We ire pleased to see again in our town Jon athan B. Williams, Esq., who, in May of ast year, removed to Arkansas. Like ' housands of others, he does not find the 6 -Vest the El Dorado pictured by imagina- t ive minds, and he has returned to make & lie permanent home in his native State.- s forkville Enquirer. The cotton millo of Columbus, .coordine to the Sun, have taken this sea- o on 7,251 bales of cotton, against 8,727 n ast year, showing an increase of 524. The v mils have made these 7,251 bales of cot- c< on worth nearly two millions of dollars, h ,-hcreas its cost in producers' hands was r? ot seven hundred thousand. ti THE ADVERTISER. Edgefield, S. C., ?fog. ?1, 1873. The Political Campaign in Virginia. An energetic and excited political cam jaignisnow going on in Virginia, tiic result of which will l>c either to continue the State under an honoijt and conserva tive government, or consign it to a con dition like that of South Carolina-a proy to negroes, scoundrels and thieves. Within the past week, both parlies-the Conservative and tho Republican-have held Conventions, declared principles, and nominated candidates for Governor and Lient. Governor. The Conservative candidate is Gen. James Kemper, who commanded, a Brigade in tho late Avar, and especially distinguished himself at Gettysburg-a native SAI of Virginia, a patriot, a politician, and an orator. Thc Republican' nominee is Col. Robert Hughes, alsoS Virginian, a distinguished editor, and a Republican, who, although not heretofore bitter and dirty, will havo to be both in the present campaign. In Virginia theuwhites are more nu merous than the negroes, censequently the success of thp Radicals will depend upon the number and influence of thc scalawags and carpet-baggers who may unite with them. The Conservative party seems confident of success. As for us, wo make no predictions. We havo no faith, politically, in negroes and certainly none of any sort in scala wags and carpet-baggers. A Shocking Steauiboat Disaster. On Friday last, the Steamer Wawasset, plying on thc Potomac*, between Wash ington and Acquia Creek, was buried to the water's edge-in broad noon day and within a few feet of the shore. The boat was goiug down the river from Wash ington, with over one hundred passen gers, and, when opposite Chatterton land ing, \vhere there is no wharf, was dis covered to be on lire. Immediately upon the alarm being given, she was. headed for the beach, which she reached in lO or 15 minutes, and grounded in less thau four feet of water. Such of the passen gers as leaped into this shallow water were saved, but such was thehotror and panic that before the boat grounded, some forty-five or fifty human beings had been drowned. Many of the drowned were colored persons, of whom thcro was a considerable number* on board. The origin of the fire remains unknown. Since the day of the disaster, persons have b jen engaged in grappling for the bodies. rSomo tweniy-fivo or thirty bodies have been recovered. Brilliant Status.of the News & Courier. Beautiful is the Charleston News & Courier in the costly and tasteful dress which it assumed on the 11th instant-a dress of handsome and complete new typo. And brilliant is the News di Couri er in its status generally. Its laudable ambition is to be the representative news paper of South Carolina. And this it is emphatically. We oiler it our heartiest congratulations. Railroad Accident Near Hamburg. Early on Sunday morning last, asleep ing cai* of the night down train, was thrown from the high trestle of the C. C. & A. Railroad, leading by Schultz's Hill, and its occupants were more or less se riously injured. These were four in num ber, one being the Hon. Patrick Walsh, of the Chronicle & Sentinel. The acci dent was brought about by the train run ning over a cow, which, when the whis tle attempted to frighten her oil* the track, rushed wildly to meet the engine, None of thc four oocupauts of the sleeping car were fatally injured, but all suffered pair, il wounds, bruise') and dislocations. We rejoioe to seo it announced in tho Chronicle ? Sentinel of the 12th, that Mr. Walsh would in a day or two be able to be up and at his usual editorial labors. The Press Convention. Thorn was a Convention of several members of the Stat<? Press hold in Co lumbia, on the (1th Inst., at which wc would have been present, but were pre vented from attending by a pressure uf other business. The Columbia correspondent of tho News & Courier says: "The Press Convention, which was advertised to meet yesterday, has proved Hither a failure. On'y three papers out side of Columbia, the Press and Barnier and tho Medium, of Abbeville, and tho Tempor?neo Advocate, of Camden, put in an appearance. There being so few In attendance, nothing was done last night, and thc mooting adjourned until this morning, in the hopo iliac other publish ers might arrive ni the interim.

The Unhappy Republic ol' Spain. Republican ism is the refugo of nations in these modern timos. In Franco it has been a success thus far. but a success in whoso permanence very few believe. In Spain it is a painful and a disastrous failure; anda thinking man, as he con templates the bloody strivings of Repub lican and Carlist, of Communist and Alfonsist, will. naturally ask himself these questions: Does divino right now rest in the people? Is the voice of the people tho voice ol' God? Never was Spain in a more unhappy condition than now-never more torn by faction-neveV more a prey to the in trigues ol' selfish leaders. The Carlista aro bloodily triumphant in the North, while Republicans, Communists and Monarchists elaw, rend and oxhaust-the rest ol'the country. Better was the dis solute Isabella, believing in the divine right of kings, than this. Better'far was the chivalrous Amadeus, of Italy, than this. If republicanism is really a better and a purer thing than monarchism, then certainly neither thc Spanish people nor the Spanish leaders are educated" up to the point of enjoying it. For the Advertiser. Thc Dirty Policy of thc So-called Dem ocrats.-The Low Cunning of thc Radicals. The recent meeting at this placo on last sale-day, iii regard to the ridiculous farce of sending delegates to?Abbeville to confer with others in reference lo thc construction of a Railroad from Chicago to Port Royal, culminated in an insult to tho intelligence and morality of Edge field, which, as a citizen of thc place, we think ought to bo noticed. Whilst we have no objection to our colored peoplo enjojing all the political and civil rights which the law allows them, yet we do not propose to consti tute them the representatives of the white race, nor do wo feel disposed to rect ,nize any white man of the Radicals who is not au honest and respectable man. Tho meeting referred to was not a po litical meeting, and there was not any necessity for placing negroes, and radi cal white mon of degraded character, even in their own party, in position to represent the people of Edgefield abroad. Whoever is responsible for this insult, lot the intelligent and moral portion of the community mark them ; and let us seo who tho}' are that are Radicals in disguise. REFORM. For the Advertiser. . MR. EDITOR,-The citizens of Liberty Hill, Shinburg and Shatterfield held a Free School meeting at Big Hungry .Spring, on Saturday the i'oth July last. Mr. James Callison was called to the Chair, and Wm. H. Yeldell was elected Clerk. Mr. .Callison, after assuming the Chair, in a few pertinent remarks stated the object of tho meeting, and in a lucid manner detailed tho progress and con dition of the Public Schools in thc Town ship (Hibler.) He said, to his knowledge, as one of the Trustees, there has not been a single school houseerected or purchased in the Township, and not a dollar re ceived'for the scholastic year of 1872. there being always a great pretended de ficiency ju the Public School Fond. ? Mr. G. J. Sheppard offered the follow ing Resolution, which was adopted : Resolved, That Dr. J. C. Lanier, J. L. Cheathani and Janies Callison be ap pointed a Committee to ascertain from th i County Treasurer the amount of Poll Ti . due this Township, and its pro rata share of the State contribution for Free Schools ; and bo further empowered to use every effort to get the money due tho Township. After a general discussion of thc above resolution Rud other Free School matters the meeting adjourned, A proposici?n was then made to hav3 a Barbecue nt Big Hungry Spring, on Thursday tho 14th of August, in view of promoting a social reunion between thc citizens of Liberty Hill, Shinburg, Bi? Hungry and Shatterfield. Tho proposition was warmly endorsed by ail /?resent, and alter a little effort I'S or 15 carcasses were subscribed. A Committee to procure contributions and a Committee of Arrangements were appointed ; and, on motion, you Mr. Editor, were respectfully invited mattend.

EDITOR,-I have been wondering if it would be entirely mal apropos to give to the public the opinions and ex periences of an invalid, concerning this rude country. Iwdlat any rato given few items which may prove encouraging to some who, NJ know, hayo anticipated coining here, and I tear by tiieif delay have been scared off. We came the same route by which Mr. H. T. W. came, and I must say I was agreeably surprised tn finding thc roads in good condition the principal part o: tim journey. At Gainesville wo met our old ttiesid Mr. D. Quattlcbaum, who gave us a hearty rocvptjon, but advised ns not lo try to get to Porte* Springs. For four or live miles the hills were very rough, and very steep, but alter crossing thc Chattahoochee, the way is winding and smooth, so that with a pillow (which no lady should travel without,) I caine without the excessive fatigue which i anticipated. Tiebacks, both from Gaines ville to Dahlonega, and from Dahlonega here, are as good as I'vo ever seen for mountain trave l, and teams strong and sure. Mr. W. had secured for us a cabin, nil of which aro open ; the doors on' wooden hinges, windows sliding, and altogether loo airy until we learned to avoid drafts. But they aro delightfully situated, a full view on ono sido of tho Hine Ridge, which is quite near, a slo liing gorge on tho other, and Cedar .Mountain right over us. The climate is simply delicous. This, independent of thc water, is enough to renew tho strength, and almost tho youth, of the sick and infirm. Mr. Penn is wonderfully improved (bi so short a time, and seems to bo enjoying this mode of life very much. Mrs. J. A. B. must be getting well, ns sho took a little jaunt last Saturday in an ox waggon down thc mountain. Bul on leaving I heard her charge a young man, who sat hi rear ol' her, not to lol her fall out, showing she was not free from apprehensions. So I hope our Doc tor will have more than one name to drop from his list. Wo have plenty of fruit here, except | watermelons, the luxury of which I envy you homo-folks. Our table is very well kept indeed; tho fish are unliko fish to me, being altogether moro delicate and digestible than any other kind of meat, and at home it is vice versa. Yesterday, being Sunday, we spent very quietly.. They have had an occa sional sermon, but to look round you would imagine from the picturesque awe inspiring scenes, that "Tho sound of a Church going bell, These rocks and these valleys never heard, Never sighed at tho sound of a knell, Or Buiilod when a sabbath appeared/' Col. A. has not y?t arriyed ; I can't | understand tho delay, aa ho expect) bo here before our party arrived. The mountain sides abound in Hov of tlie loveliest description, wbito c heather bell, and a variety which cultivate. If I can get hero with wliolo Ix and feel so >.>oit tho ginn] eifeets o and' water, I hope that oilier of friends will feel encouraged to mulei thc jaunt.

I was much intereste.; hiview ing tho process of manu facture, from c ! i < stemming to final heading of the boxes Thcplugsafter being wnipped, wi re ca. I placed in a separate cell or shape, am subjected to a pressure of 50 tons ; thon are a number of colls aipl all lilied an. pressed at the same tinte; they arc the; taken out and subjoctod toa like presMiin the second time; then placed le. the box es, and pressed with great power in af close proximity to each other as possible, Thc boxes aro then headed, weighed ?uni marked, and placed in thc hands of ? mechanic, who prepares each box for rc oeiving tho Internal Revenue Stamp, which is 20 cts. per lb. upon all grades. 'lhere is but little trade at present but the merchants anticipate a lively limo shortly, when tho cotton comes to mar ket. Thoro is said to have boon pur chased last season at this place something ?ike 3,000 bales, although four miles front tho last station (Buffalo) on tho Railway, one feature of which is quite novo! lo me, viz: that fully half or moro of the colton is brought in and sold in small parcels, the merchants preferring to buy it so, and press it Tor themselves, bavin-; good size-cotton rooms, .thereby enabling Inept to pack each quality to itself, ?md have less mixed cotton. The Road is all graded lo this nineo ex cept ono stone cut, thc Popot is billig and they fully expect to hear tho snotting ol' tho iron horse in time to take oil' the greater part of tho eott?n that will come hero. There is also the building ol' a considerable bridge across Bu Halo, bo fore the trains can como. The Road i - known by tho nama of tho Carolii a Cen. tral Railway. It is completed fri.m Vul inlngton 140 miles, towards Charlotte 52 milos, remaining unfinished to thatplh'cb, upon which thero are now about L'OUO hands at work ; from Charlotte to Ku Halo, 50 milos, it is now in operation. It h in tended to extend it by Rutherfordton, on to connections with the great Nbrlli-Wost. There aio fourteen or Jilleen stores at this plaoe, and only ono dram-shop, and will no doubt be a placo of considerable trado when tho railway reaches it. Per sons aro now coming from Charlotte and other points, making enquiry about the rent of stores and prices of building lots. The plantors are much elated af. (he tino prospecte of thoir crops. It I? said they wero, never bettor in tho county, born produces from 20 to 40 bushels nor acre-said to average at least 2.1, .:.;.! that mostly without fertilisers; but tho greatest crowipg is ovor the cotton, ?i'hcrn has boon but little inado in this cornily until after the war ; last year it is sup posed to haye been C.OOO hales, of ooo lbs, average, (and to hear them talk it is nearly equal to Edgefiold bragging some two year? since). . They claim to have made ono bale per acre and could make two ;-.they will not agree that the county averages less than 200 lbs/lint' per acre; and claim moro. The common lands can be purchased within a few milo's of tins placo at from 0 to 8 dol?ais per aero. B^tt thc best bottom lands, suohjaS will make from 40 to 60 bushels corn per acre, can hardly bo purchased at any price A Paper Mill on Hurlait), immediately on tho Railway, whore they make alargo quantity of wrapping and newspaper, four miles distant. There is another industry arising hore, from which those who engage in it, ex pect to roali/.o large profits. T allude to grape culture and the wine business. There is a small vineyard just on tho outskirts of the incorporation, of some 10 acres, about 41 years old, just in bear ing. It is truly a lovely sight to behold, -tin; well cultivated ground, thp finely pruned and trained vines, with their great bunches of grapes just beginning to ripen. There are different varieties, but the Concord has the prefereuee. The proprietors are building a wino cellar, and expect to make lftOO or 1200 gallons of wine, with only a half crop of grape's. Tho exceedingly cold'weather in the Spring killed all the first blooms. There is a real estate and labor fur nishing agency at this place, by Messrs. Gidney, Love & Burton, who will sell all your land, give you information, and soil you, or exchange real estate with you ; or, if you are in want of labor, will furnish any amount at short notice. They arc reliable gentlemen, and can bc de pended upon. An election was lipid to-day through out tho Stato, to voto for or against cer tain constitutional amendments, which have been acted upon favorably by two Legislatures. Thc people seem general ly favorably disposed toward them ; they are eight in number, and if adopted will no doubt be a great saving to the people of the State. Tho laws of tho State di rect all places where liquor is sold to be closed on the day of election, within two miles of the voting place. There is one thing with which I was pleased : on their sales-day, tho Sherill"rings alargo bell some 15 minutes before commencing thc sales, and then again when read}'to com menee- Tho same upon opening the Polls to commence tim election. To sum up thewlrmo matter, Shelby' ls a very pleasant back country town, having several Mineral Springs within or neal* tho corporation, and any number surrounding it upon all sides, of which the Cleveland Springs can hardly be sur passed in the United States ; and though the days at times may be hot, the wind is always cool and refreshing, and nearly constantly more or less in play. And last, though not least, a most ex cellent Hotel kept by tho obliging land lord Mr. J. S. Borders and Lady, whose greatest pleasure is to accommodate their guests In overy conceivable manner which can add to their pleasure. I forgot to mention a Male School at this place of high grade by the Rev. Mc Neil Turner, which will commence again about the 20th of this month. Thci were the past session 80 or 00 students I the high school and 30 or 40 in the pre paratory department. At Cleveland Springs, there is a Fe male Seminarj' which will open the 29th September and close the 12th June 187 with T. W. Brevard, Principal, which highly spoken of by those who have pat ronized tho school. Yours, truly, JOHN HTJIET. pgr 3. H.
