Time's letter pleased me right well. In my imagination I can see the little haughty lines let- playing round her lips when sho thinks of r a i your Cousin.

I''0 Now while I think of it, let me tell you, I "to I should never have been able to get along with these folks without the assistance of in- | tho Boss ; for sometimes I am unable to form tu j an idea of their meaning, while the Boss tp_ | seems to be nt no loss, but understands all, ju nnd more too. I'll give you an instance of , j their language nnd manners, (to inc incomi prehensive,) viz: i On yesterday evening wo stopt nt, or opposite a house, on entering which I found v~ J a middle aged lady, nnd three very pretty d ; girls. They refused to necompnny me out r- I to the wagon, on the plea that they had no in I money. But after some persuasion they all I utnrtiwl tn onn nnr fnndo rPl??* tl , -?..v? ?vv vu. ^wuo. A IIU xiu.vt a[?juMrj j ed much pleased at the goodly number of ! customers, and with one of his blandest smiles, commenced spreading our wares for | their inspection. The girls were at first vej ry shy, but their curiosity soon overcome ; their timidity, llosher, 1 wish you could " have heard their different and strange >* exclamations of joy and surprise, my pen :: would give you but a poor idea of the richnoss of their expressions. n Says one, "Oh! mamma aint this awrful o purtty; well I do say 1 never seed any thing to ckal that.

Thinks I, old fellow, I think you will have ^ to acknowledge the corn now. But as soon as I could get a glimpse of ^ face. I saw at once that he was not at all puzzled and that instead of being confused by her an meaning gargon, ho was quietly y enjoying the dialogue that was going on 1 among the girls and their mother, as to who I needed a dress. ^ At length the old lady again asked if he would take a kivcr. j The Boss replied that he did not think it would suit him. y Concluding now that I must cither acknowledge iny ignorance, or not learn what she ls meant by a 44 kiver." '* I ventured to say, 4 What is that, anyhow f II Here they all turned on me a look of blank o amazement, and burst into an interminable u fit of laughter. This, the Boss enjoyed too, to his heart's content, although he did not r_ laugh so loud and long as they did, yet I could sec this mischievous delight quivering j in his big blue eye. Now and then the laughter became a lit- i ' tie more easy ; but when ever the girls would " turn towards me so as to see how foolish I , 11 looked (1 know I must have looked so for 1 certainly I never felt more so.) The exprcsy sion of their faces seemed to say, 4 green,' !" 4 green,' and they would burst out a laughing j. again, till one of them (" plague to herlfeck n eyes,") actually cried. )n At this point seeing no other mode of relief, I slyly tangled a piece of Goods and com- menced refolding it. ? Next thing I knew, the youngest girl had gone to the house to bring a 44 kiver." Now, Cousin Hosher, what do you reckon k? she brought, eh ? Well, if you have given ill it up, she brought a Woolen Bed Cover !? And I must say it was a very pretty thing, a too,and after one more laugh, though I know iy not what at, unless my looks showed the relief I felt no sensibly. The Boss appear,e 'nK to Mo l'ic M Mver" agreed to pny them ?3.50, for it and payed them in calico at 20 eta., which coat 10.

I had like to have forgotton your disparagement of my comparison between Newton and Lenoir, with Monroe and Lancaster. >W True, you have a paper started in Lancaster, ''y I have seen a copy of it, and like it right well. But I think the Editor will have a hard time of it, for I saw a gentleman from that State >d, the other day, over here on Mulberry, buy. pe ing Corn; and as he seemed to be an intel* aj ligent man, I named to him about this paper. He said that it waa a orood thine, and ha wished it much success. 44 But," says he, 44 there is too many rich men in South Caro^ lina; were it not for that," says he, 44 the pn Ledger would be obliged to suoceed."? 44 Why," 44 they are the very right sort of ^ I men to support it." b 8o it would inn," led **y? he, 44 out I'll tell you what is a fast, the strange as it may seem to yon. I Hie half of | these rich men never pay a Printer ormjf sr. f? chant They lay out their Cotton money ^ each year, in negroes and mules; and the j Merchant and Printer have to wait till he dies some good day, and then his adminis trator pays over all in a lump."^ Were I a Printer, this being the case, I would only want such subscribers as would pay in ad- JL vance, or else not live too iQng.

Correspondence of the Ledger. t ing Salisbury, May 30, 1853. M01 Dear Ledger : Since my last I have had the pleasure of attending the examination Pro , of the pupils of the Salem Female Academy, for which I am indebted to my worthy host of the Mansion, (who, besides the other I u good things" he has on hand, has a lot of fine horsea, kept for tho accommodation of ? his guests,) nnd I purpose giving you some short account of the very interesting cxercises I there witnessed. ^,rc The crowd there assembled was immense ^ and the most of us were stowed away " three ^?u deep" in the garrats of the Salem Hotel. no* It will be impossible for me to give you tho entire programme of exercises in the short space of a letter, and I shall therefore only notice such portions as I thought most in- . teresting. On entering the chapel, a most fascinating scene was presented to my view, and one which caused tho hearts of all the bachelors in the room to go " pit-a-pat" 250 ^ ^ lovely young Indies dressed in virgin white (the emblematic color of I*ove nnd Purity,) were seated in the spacious Hall, waiting with intense anxiety for tho examination to begin, and doubtless, with hearts trcmbiing, ^?U' for fear of missing their " queen." Alter the usual exercises, the examination opened with a " Round"?" Sweet is tho breath of t morning," which was beautifully sung by pnrn all the pupils. Several Indies were then call- an<^ ed on to sing, all of whom acquitted thenselves with great credit. Miss M? 0f ol T of Richland District, S. C., then sang jecti tho " Sweet Sunny Isle," accompanied by Miss J S , of North Carolina, on the piano, and most sweetly did she sing. Her may low toned, but soft and mellow voice, caus- of tl od a thrill of pleasure to pass through tho 8'dc dense audience, and each with u listening caie~ ear" tried to catch the w last dying strain." *** She took an active part In all the glees, in cnU' the French Dialogue, " La Fete de Mai," and c''re also spoke a Herman recitation, entitled " Bethlehem in Golgatha." Miss M S s, of Charlotte, N. C., executio i of wc " Cenerentola," upon the piano, also u Boch- n sa's March," performed by Miss M K amoi of Union, S. C? were masterly efforts, and ^ excited much appluuse. The " Welcome to Kossuth," sung nnd performed by little 'w^1 Miss S , of N. C., was also beautifully done. P"!* The questions in Grammar, Ancient and no P Modern History, and Geography, were "M)l promptly and correctly answered, and would va put many of the " sterner sex" to the blush. ^,wt' The " Conversation on Astronomy,"in which ?,,(* many of the pupils took a part, were very no interesting and instructive. Miss K , of ^ Virginia closed the "debate," and "hoped *u^>a that at some future day the study of this in- ,n^' teresting subject would be renewed." The "Committee then rose" and the amusing nuin comic song, " Mrs. Watkin's Evening Party," Alan where there were lots of enco " 'hickensand turkiea, and of ducks no lack, , , Who, like,dead doctors had ceased to quack." ' was sung willi much effect by Miss Nannie .q R , assisted by several ladies and nccomper i panied by the piano. The closing songs, M hnnr nf iwirtinrr Hrnivrth niflrli w 44 Onrv) - r- R ~ per Bye," and the w Farewell Hymn, (which were sung by the entire School,) drew tear* from mnny of the performer*, and the exer- ^ ciscs closed, many leaving with buoyant heart*, singing " vacation had come," and ^ " I am going home," while others who were 8 8 num not going home, left with sorrowful hearts, . . and returned to their secluded retreat, there to spend another long twelve months, at ^no which time may they all be able to reach their long wished-for home*. The "Palmetto State" was well represented in the ^ Academy, both in talent and beanty. At some future day you may hear from me again ; but from what point, I cannot say, for birds of pussage have no settled roosting place. Meanwhile I remain, __ # _ ?rui Yours, para strmprr. Guerillmo.
