On Tuesday 1 look the cars for Salisbury j ; nd after a pleasant ride of 2 hours arrived j at the Rowan House, where ! remained i until Wednesday morning. During mv I , I stay in Salisbury, 1 ramhlcil about looking up some novelty or other, and accidentally j heard of Myers Steam Still, where tiiey ! make 1500 gallons of old Rye per day. It i Is t of a mile from town, a very pretty <fis. tnccc to walk, and of course, although 1 do ? not indulge in "l'addy's Rye Water," I walk- | tul over and examined the machinery ; it is like an} thing except a still,and therefore, I j shall not attempt to describe it. Sutlico it 1 io say, while in operation the liquor pours ( out in n stream as large, as a man's arm. I 1 might add that the grain is thrown into a I grist mill and you see no more of it until it I comes forth ready for use. It is conveyed | through elevators to all parts of the house. ] The best part, I think is that hy a trough leading from the still, a large hog pen, con taining six or seven hundred head of hogs, is furnished with the mash or refuse left after stilling and hy this means a large quantity of pork is made from what otherwise might ho thrown a?yvrs? i?e Proprietor, invited me in to his store room, | and while there asked me if I believed I ! was standing on Wfriskoy. I replied I did not know how to answer him. ile raised a small trap door and exhibited under the floor a box 12 feet square, tilled to the Won I nnd pointing to a similar door lie remarked j that there was another box of the same di- | mension also full. The house was filled with puncheons. I suppose the stock on I hand to be 20 or 30.000 gallons. The "Verandah House" occupied bv Dr. Happoldt, is a splendid brick establishment near the Rail Road, and is convenient for passengers going to Raleigh to dine, hut those coming to Morganton usually put np at the "Rowan House" in order to meet the Stage. The line from Salisbury to this place is well stocked and runa through in I 2-1 hours, a distance of 80 miles. 1 left Salisbury, Wednesday 0 n. ni, nnd arrived here next morning at 7. We dine nt Statesville and reach Newton at 10 when supper is ready for passengers. There is a charter for a Rail Road from Salisbury to Ashevillo; contracts have been sinu io wiuun 22 miles of Morgnnton and tho grading nearly completed to Stntesville. Major Henderson, one of t!ic board of Di rector?, told me thrtt the ears would run to the latter place some time nest spring.? Morgan ton, ho wevei, SIke Monroe, is in a! dilemma. She subscribed at first ?100,000 j which has been expended on contracts beyond the limits of (Hurke) her county ; and the Road cannot progress without an additional sum of $'220,000, one tl.iid of which this county is required to make, but she refuses to subscribe, therefore, the question j of taxation comes before the people next j Thursday Cih inst., and some of the lead- j ing men think it will not carry. Indeed Jl ought to be completed for I think this the greatest grain country I ever saw. A Mr. (Jrcenloe, has made 150 bushels on 1 ai res of ground, and 2.r bushels to the aero is a common average.

C. P. .McCAY. A FIGHT IN KANSAS. Some time since, a telegraphic despatch from St. Louis, stated that Cnpt. John II. Iloyd of this State had had a difficulty with one (J?-n. Mitchell, in Kansas, at a place called Doniphan, where the former resides. It did not then occur to us that the said Capt Boyd was the same known to seine of our readers as the grandson of the late Dr. II. NV. Krvin, of this District. He is a native, wo think, of Sumter District and resided latterly in Williamsburg, from whence he went with a small party to Kansas.? The annexed account of the ditliculty is credited to a St. I.ouis paper: On Saturday, the 4th of July, there was a festival in Doniphan, to which the whok country was invited. For some unknown reason, the Free soil party chose to absent themselves. Cnpt. John K. Boyd, n South j Carolinian by birth, but now a practising i lawyer of that town, delivered ao oration, ! in course of which he made Home allusion to those who would not participate inn paj triotic celebration of the anniversary of our j Independence. On Monday, the 6th, Gen. Mitchell, of the Free noil party, called upon Capt. Jlowl at j i his oflice, to demand an explanation of his alluHion. Capt. Iloyd told Gen. Miteliell that he did not know him, and could not recognize his right to an explanation. Gen. Mitchell informed him who he was. Capt. Iloyd asked if he was not in command last year at Topekn, in resistance to the laws ? Gen. Mitchell replied that he was there in command against the d?d cut throats, murderers and robbers. Cap',. Iloyd asked him j what he meant, and upon receiving no prompt, and satisfactory answer, he struck Gen. Mitchell a violent blow with his fist, | which lacerated Mitchell's forehead, nnd sent him reeling against the wall. They j are men of about the suiuu ago and size? j both young and strong. Mitchell walked directly off nr.d sent a chnllengo to Boyd to meet him in mortal combat. Boyd accepted, nnd chose muskets as the weapons and forty paces ns the distance. It was arranged that they should meet that evening at half past six o'clock. They were both punctually on the ground, tho distance measured, the principals stationed nnd the word about to be given, when the civil officers appeared and arrested them. They were required to outer into bonds. i # OUR TRIP BELOW- HANGING ROCK SPRINGS &c., Whenever ail editor leaves Ids Sanctum, wlielliur upon a tour of recreation, pleasure or a business excursion, custom has made it obligatory upon him to share with his tenders the benefit of his obtet rations; and thus iie redeems tn a measure, whatever may be lost to them, iu other respects, , through his absence.

Cotton is r.ot so promising ;?lias i the appearance of living behind the season ? is luxuriant and green, lacking that peculiar pale color which it generally assumes about this time. W ith a Jong season, however, there ia no reason to apprehend, but that a tolerable crop will be made. The above accords with our observations | from the roads;?at the old Homestead, we had a nearer view, and with no disposition 1 to pull' tiiis revered locale of our youthful I sports and pastime, but simply to relate facts, we will estimate tire average height i of a field of cotton of about ten acres that j we were in, Jit not less than three and a half loi t r.rul well filled with forms, blooms and bolls. An adjoining, field of corn was nbont iih toll oh anything ii; that line j that we hove ever seen. Foi the beneltl ot the curious, we wlli add that these were J neither ereek bottom* nor favored spots, 1 but upland-* upon which no manure had ever been applied.

The intellectual wants of the ! rising generation are not uncnrcd for, and 1 in q\ tdelice of this, they have four schools, j the two farthest apart, not exceeding five | miles from each other. The number of | children who make tip these schools, indicate a prolific and healthful population. Our mercantile friends, Messrs. Magill ,V | Canthen, and Mobley, linvo pretty well | thinned out their heavy Spring stocks, mak- i ing room for their Kail supplies. The peo j pie of that section, seem to extend them a \ very generous patronage, and they should do so.

The principal improvement upon the j premises that ivc note, over last year, is the erection of bath houses, which arc spacious and convenient. They are an important ud- j dilion and am essential to (lie complete til- i ting np of all ssieh places. The baths are ; supplied with the mineral water. in the fitting lip of this place, the pro. 1 prielor, Capt. Jas. M.

After we had visited there last Season, we ventured the opinion, that in or- I der to secure complete success to an enter* ! prise of tins sort, it was necessary to offer inducements independant of those afforded by the superior quality of tlie water and ' the comfortable boarding accommodations. T11 a general way, where one person visits a watering place for health, a half dozer go for pleasure, and all will sec at once that these last are not likely to be content, or their patronage secured, without the usual accompanying sources of amusement ore offered. Such was then lacking nt Hanging Rock, hut we are glad to say that the deficiency is soon to bo supplied. Already j the lumber is nt hand with which to construct n building, designed as a place where i young persons may amuse themselves in ! various ways, that are harmless. Some, we (loultt not, will hold up their hands in holy horror nt the idea of a ten-piu alley or J a billiard table, but their notions are tar- i fetched, untenable?a type of the unwholesome temperament thai would strain nt a gnat and swallow a camel. Wo would advocate no treasure net in the bounds of propriety, or In accordance with atrict 1 morality ;?nothing else in desired and nothing clae is intended and nothing else i would be allowed nt Hanging Rock.
