Wedesday, July 30, i8i3 Our Duty in the Present and the Future. The Revolution is complete. It seems to us that a cup more bitter was never givea to any people to drink than was pressed to our lips. But we drank it.. And we have borne the consequences, whether patiently or im patiently, our lives must testify. It is not in hnman nature, nor was it in ours, to bear the working of such a bitter draught without many contor tions of countenance and efforts to resist or evade its effects. Some ef forts we made; they were feeblh, fu tile, vain. The power that overcame us in the first place, was still present, and still more powerful to crush any efforts the victim might make. We have acquiesced. We. have accepted the situation. We write with a loath ing horror of the expression. But we have accepted the situation. The cause so dear to the hearts of so many brave and noble men, who died for it, is dead-. Virginia, the mother of he roes, sleeps in a nameless grave. Her sister States lie dead and buried around her. Their phantoms still linger around azd haunt the places of their graves. They, too, -will vanish. after awhile, and what images or powers will take their place we know not. What duties are for us whose mo thers lie dead and buried in the soil beneath our feet ? Them we can serve no i'ore. No longer with a ten der reverence we can wait about their. steps. Carolina, our mother, is dead. We have mourned her. We reverence her dead, perhaps more than we ever did whilst living. But grief must be laid aside. Tears avail not, and death is better than a hopeless sorrow. We live, and life's duties press upon us with a stern demand for performance which cannot be resisted or evaded. Let us turn from the past, which can never be changed, to that future which is yet ours. We believe that our first duty is to lay aside our grief. We must turn from the grave where our dead mother lies buried. She is dead we can never revive her. Were she only sleeping there might be some hope that we could awake her, but she is dead. Dead' Can she never awake? No. never. Other States and nations before she was born lived and died, and their names only survive. They comec back no more. We must, as best we may, lay aside our grief, and -go on resolutely to do that work which the present and future demand. What. are those duties and what are the ne. uxaaids of the future? We, for one, belie.% 14.. our first great duty in tba lubare is to give our whole atteaiti to the development and increase of the material wealth of the country. Political power has.pass. ed from us,-.and we can never regain it otherwise than through the power d. wealth. Our exposures of the cor raptions existing in the local and gen- e eral governments are utterly vain and ' unprofitable. We are laughed at an<d. despised for our pains. But let u . not by peculation or speculation, hat a by the steady and peaceiul parist of ag.riculture and commerce, grow rich.;, let us make our fields, and cities -and villages teem with a real and la.sting~ prosperity, the result of our ent0rprise, and you need not doubt that we will then have a due share oj political power, if we desire it. Li.et intellec inal and religious eduestion go ha2d in hand with our industrial pursuits, and we may have a.future that need not be ashamed to be placed side by side with the illustrious past.1 Our views may be thought low and sordid, but they are far otherwise. There is a desire for wealth which is i vulgar and mean and base. When it I is sought for the splendor it may give, or for the luxurious ease it may yield its possessor, or the poer itnmay give I to indulge in all mere sensual pleas ures, or for its own sake to satisfy a miuserly greed, which always proves la insatiable. When it is sough tfor any of~ these reasons, the fine gold has al- 1, ways a dim and tarnished lustre. But a when sought that it may be a means of g:ood; that it may be instrumental in the regeneration of a great people; then it becomes sanctified to the high- f est service and is worthily sought. Such we would have it. We would a have the best energies of the people, t1 the whole people, devoted to industrial pursuits with this high purpose. feel- 3 ing assured that wealth is power, es- 11 pecially wealth that is purified by a true intellectual and religious culture. b labor beneath the dignity of the u truie man and gentleman ? But why P ask this question ? It is most assuredly not so. We, who write this, disdain e umr to labor with brain or muscle S whenever the need demands it, and we take no shame to ourself for so s, deinr. But rather otherwise. We a el1 th:it it adds to the manhood of anuy man to front boldly the obstacles. r whether physical or otherwise, that lie c< i a thme path, and by steady and persist- " euit efforts, eddquer or remove them, if t . -uet m. rennval be nossible. No tb mattcr about bl5od oi famnily. The noblest blood is made ritore noble by having, the me,-ntal tivnities made Atroug and vigoruu; the musclc, hard "and rigid as iron; the hands firm, and able to grasp like a vice of steel, by strenuous labor, whenever the use demands it. What! shall a man whose ancestors were leaders and kings of the people, yield to the difficulties that present themselves in this new age ? If he does so he is an un*orthy scion of a noble ancestry. They were leaders because they possessed the qualities that made them wo-,hy in that age. The sous, to be leaders, must possess the qualities -that make them worthy in this new industrial age. Therefore, let us at this time, grapple with, and ove.:come or remove those obstacles that oppose our ad vance, as they conquered the special difficulties that were in their way, for so only can we become worthy of them. If conquest or success be possible. There can be no doubt here. There is no lion in the path now, except one of our own creation. The way is open, or is oily obstructed by such obstacles as a firm heart and strong arm can remove. " Tribulatio ditat" is not an uawise saying. And we may realize it to the utmost extent. And then when success is achieved; when we stand upon the high ground of victory, with what a proud satis faction we can look back upon the struggle of the past, and when our work is done and we retire to rest we can leave to our children an honorable name and fame, a no ignoble heritage. Benefieiary Scholarships for Medical Students. The Trustees of the Louisville (Ky) Medical College have created a num ber of Beneficiary Scholarships, for the benefit of poor but deserving young men seeking a first-class medical edu cation. One Beneficiary student is received from each Senatorial District of the different States. Sons of phy sicians and clergymen are very proper ly accorded Beneficiary Scholarships. Each Scholarship is worth to the reci pient of it $200, and those receiving such aid are known only to the Dean. Mode of obtaining a Beneficiary Schol arship learned by applying to -r:E. S. GAILLARD, Dean, Louislle, Ky. As the next session be- s in Septem ber, all young men -needing aid should iPPly n eal'as possible. R THE HERALD. YIOUtain Lake-Bald Knob The Cascade. .. July, 1873.. afn. EDIToR.-Nar~ the summit of thel Loftiest peak of the Alleghanies, and more than 5,000 feer above the level of the sea, is ai tittle lake. This is "Mountain Lake," the1 nost pictaresque spot in all South Western Virginia. It was our good fortune to visit his beautiful lake on the 1st of ,gJ, in :ompany with a friend whom we wm1! call tabbi Ben 0. At an early hour on the norning of kie 1st, we mounted our gay .nd fiery steeds and began the ascent of the wountain, it being six mig to our destina ion, and "up aill" all the ay. To most of oui eaders this will seem incredible and a 'is "hill story," but it is a true one. The< LRy previous it rained, and the atmosphere ues perfectly clear and most delightfr.iy coM *id refreshing. As we wended our way ruund the mountain side, our friend related I a me of his "mistakes," greatly to our 'musement, and greatly to his embarrass. *ient, he being .a timid young widower oft nine thirty summers. At every angle in the oad, some new scene would burst upon our nraptured vision, while the goal still lay int be distance. Just as we reached the top of f he mountain a scene far too sublime and ~ eantiful for our pen to portray, presented 361lf to our view. Just before us, and in a 1 ew feet, was a beautiful lake,with ten thous- I ,ud ripples playing upon its bosom, sparkling ni the early rays of a Summer's sun. Upont ca margin, harge and elegant mansions.- s loming down from the everlasting hills, ona I oters'persed with the "myrtle and the ivy," ,nd lost in the sporting waters of the lake. 'o our right lay Prospect Hill, surmounted rith an observatory,* from whose pinnacle oated an ensign upon the mountain breeze. 'o our left, and lifting its towering head eavenward was Bald Knob. the highest h, oint in Virginia. Here we halted a moment, nd in silence beheld nature in all her beauty nd grandeur. At the Hotel we met Mrsa,(en. Haupt, of a~ 'hiladelphia, introduced ourselves, delivered ( zessages, documents, &c., from Dr. D. F. B., " od were cordially welcomed to Mountain u take Hotel. Mrs. Haupt is a very excellent u tdy, kind and attentive, and very entertain- a ig. Gen. Haupt owns a large bondary of p Lnd here, some 100,000 acres, all mountain und, well timbered with the finest org'inal r >rests, and splendid water power, to coniert tI into lumber. There is also an abundare r rich iron ore to be found, but the distance e 'om therailroad makes It impracticable to H 'ork mines at this time. The General and pl Luily spend their summer months here, i ieir winters in Philadelphia. But I have si gressed, one word more, Mrs. Haupt is one MI E the clevetest ladies we have met for lo, ti sese many days, and her kindness to us a ialI never be forgotten. She let us have d er telescope, and away we went for Bald nob. As we were about to rea.la the top, abbi Ben 0. exclaimed;a "it sems like we rt rc getting into another world." This ex-1n resses my feelings at that moment better pi tan any languageI can find. All around e s, and above was nothing but heaven's it wrest air. Casting our eyes down and to w ze East, there for 200 miles, lay a chain of 4, tountains, looking perfectly smooth and a ren, in the distance. Securing our weary :eeds, not to keep them from running off, it to keep the wind from blowing them off gi 1is dizzy height, we at once proceeded tob irvey our surroundIngs. To the West lay w i anbroken forest, mountain rising after fa ountain, as far as the eye could trace. To er e South lay a moat stupendous diorama. th a the North, and far in the distance, we.' uld faintly see the Peaks of Otter, rising sublimity above their neighbors. By the s e of the telescope we could see several wns at a great distance and distinguish all do e n-rnminent bhlnHMn. It is said that the be observer can see int!! four StateS frn this point, and from the height it to xeis above all o:e!;r yk. we do n.tdoat-r the veaci%t of' the soy. It ik vet v cold here all thQ time, and thnz) was ne,r the middle of the day, when we found it disagreeably cool for summer suits, and had to descend before we were near ready, owing to the wind and cold. It derives its name from the fact that nothing scarcely will grow upon it. It is covered with agrowth of oaks, very much dwarfed, being only about 18 or 20 inches high. There are huge boulders piled one upon another, looking as though there might have beeti a dreadful. upheaval in nature to disturb them. They are stratafied and dip to the South. Taking one last lingering look into "the land of milk and honey," Clover Hollow, and wishing that we were over there to eat some more of their fried chickens and apple butter, we bid adieu to Bald Knob. Once more at the Hotel, we disposed of our steeds, secured a boat, and set sail upon the lake. "The Lady of the Lake," for such was the name of our boat, glided noiselessly upon the silvery surface. The scenery is so enchanting, from the lake, that all the beauties of Sir Walter Scott's "Lady of the Lake" came vividly before our mind, and we almost imagined ourself upon the placid waters of Loch-Katrine. ' As we were cross ing, our boatman pointed out to us large trees st.itding erect in the bottom. The water is perfectly clear, very cold, and has a brack ish taste. Now, it may seem strange to you and your readers to hear that there are trees in the bottom of this lake, which is 75 feet deep, and nearly a mile long. We will give you the legend as tradition has handed it down. It is said, that within the memory of some of the oldes: inhabitants, the bottom of this lake was perfectly dry, and that through Its centre a small stream ran. Beside this stream and beneath the huge trees that now stud the bottom of the lake, the stock raisers were accustomed to salt their cattle. Large herds of the largest cattle collected here to get their salt, and rest beneath the inviting shade of the trees and enjoy the. sociability of their bovine natures. The weight of the cattle and the constant tramp ing upon the yielding earth caused it to sink, and the depression began to fill, being fed by a host of little mountain springs and rills mntil it assumed its present dimensions. It was then called "Salt Pond," in memory of the famous "Salt Lick" once there. "Pond" aot being a very elegant sounding term for much a romantic spot, a name appropriate to 'he picturesque and novel appearance of the place was applied, hence, the name "Moun ain Lake." Many persons from the Sooth and even 'rom other sections come here to spend heir summers. It is very quiet and secluded, nd the atmosphere is delightful. There is m elegant Hotel, with every accommodation 'or the conveniences of any who may be lisposed to stop here. The sportsman can iere find game in abundance to while away nany an hour. The artist can here find andsWloes of rare and surpassing beauty, Mln. worthy the pencil of a painter. And iere, lovers can find more convenient, quiet, iice, retired, shady, cool, just the right kind )f a place to whisper words of love, than all Virginia put together. Get a boat, "Lady of the Lake," "Fire Fly," "Will O'the Wisp," "Dart," or any other you may select, cross ;he lake to the "Cave," 'examine its abyrinths, thon to "The Ramble," and if rou don't feel a tender emotion arise within tour breast, it will be your own fault, and not that of natnre, for here she has spread rverything in lavish profusiore, and invites rou to this primeval Paradise to partake of aer bounties and timies. Rabbi Ben 0., ny companion, thouttso loud one time ;bat I heard him. He thought, "oh, wh at a lice place for courting." But Dear Editor, we have again digressed, rnd oh, what a digression. Let us return to he Hotel, get dinner and visit "The Cas ade." Our excursion had sharpened our ~ppetite, and we think we did justice to the 'lands that day. After dinner, and as early .s we could get away, we rook up line of ravel for " The Cascade," distant 31 miles. Ve could perform only 3 mriles on horse ack, the other had to be walked. It was town a deep ravine, and through one of the nost romantic dells we ever witnessed. luge masses of rock rose mountain high n all sides. The little bridges had been rushed away by a !'te freshet, and Rabbi ien 0. and myself had all the fun of "coon ng logs" to cross the creek, to ourselves. Ie proposed wading through, but we pro osed walking over. We did not walk, but sorter" crawled, rolled, slid, slipped or omehow that way got across. Along the ath-way there are comfortable seats erected a rest and watch the course of the stream as plunges over its rough, rocky bed. -"T'he ascade,'?is.a rich treat to any who may' ike the trouble of seeing it. To stand at de bottom and look up. as it flows over rom a precipice 75 or 80 feet high, is a sight, nough to awaken the lofnress serttiments rithin the breast of every beholder. There a constant breeze stirring here, agitated y the falling water. We rerret that we are os able to say more about "The Cascadle" at our limits are out. Eleven miles to go to each Newport to fulfill an engagement in e evening, Rabbi Ben 0. and I spur our teeds and scamper away at a rapid pace, nd ere the sinking sun had hid his brilliant see behind the Western hills, we reached fewport, Cites Co., Va.

Cuba.---Discord on the Island Obstinaey in Spain. - HAVANA, July 25.-The Republica Espanola newspaper publishes an ap peal from-the Republicans addressed to citizen General Pelletan, denounc ing the meeting which has been lately held for the object of ameliorating financial and commercial affairs in the island. It declares these meetings have accomplished nothing. They have merely put off action in the hopes that the Carlists or Alfonsists would get into power. The Conserva tives are the timid enemies of the republic, and the services of Repub licans, who are not to be despised, are offered to the captain-general. The address concludes thus: "Command us and you will find us full of courage, ready to -coinbat for liberty, order, the integrity of the soil, justice and right. Think well over this, citizen Pelletan, and think of the words of our Savior, 'those who are not with me are against me.' A dispatch from Puerto Principe says a division of Spanish troops was recently surprised by insurgents. A sharp skirmish followed, when, rein forcements arriving, the enemy was finally compelled to retire. W~AsuIxoTox, July 25.-Informa t'w fromt Madrid, by telegram, has just been received in diplomatic circles, that the Cortes, by a large majority, have resolved that they will confer no further political privileges on Cuba: until the insurgents shall lay down their arms. Maxmiu, July 30-P. M.-Ic is ry ported that General Contrevas, leaderi of the revolt at Carthagena, is march- 1 ing on this city with 0000 men, having left a force equally as strong 1 at Carthagena. It is alko said he has] sent the frigate Almnonza to Malaga: and the steamer Fernando El Cat tolico to Torrevieja, with instructions to the commanders to levy contribu Lions upon the inhabitants of those I Aties. The president of the commit- I tee of public safety in Madrid has Red from the city. The CJortes has passed a bill sup- I pressing the admiralty. President Salmeron has issued a proclamation malling eighty thousand men into ac ive service against the insurrectionists n the country. C?R TIIAGENA, July 25.-Contreva dso com'tands here, and threatens to] eize all the German ships now lyiag n the harbor of the port unless the Vigiante captured by a German man >f war is restored to the insurgents. I'here is a rumor which needs confir nation that the German Consul at larthegenaa has been arrested by thie ilsurgents and is detained as a bost ige. ________ The following losses were occasioned >y the great fire at Baltimore, July 15th. BALTIMoRE, July 26.--Loss of the 3enitral Presbyterian Church, '70,000; I nsurance $00,000; the Sisters of No re Danme and St. Alphonsus school a Lnd library, loss $80,00; insured.

The Sun of this mo rn n.g estimates the loss by the fire -yes erday at $500.000?, and remarks that good judges estimate the damage as >w as between $300,000 and $400, 00J." The Gazette estimates the loss t t fronm S500,000 to $800,000, and I he American says the loss willeclosely pproximate $1,000,000. DEAH.-We learn, through a pri ate scurce, that J.

The exercises we-re of the iuo<t varied char aeter, and the rehearsals in poetry, &c., showed rare skill and taste; both it, the sciections thetselves and in their suitability to the occasion- The whole of the exer cises, and the harinonious co-operation of the patrons of the school, showed an awakening to the importance of the mental training of the iising generation, and a pecufIar interest on the subject in the uinds of the pupils themselve-. At the close of the exercises on the part of the school, anl interesting and instructive address was delivered by Maj. J. K. G. Nance. The subject, education, was naturally suggested by the character of the occasion; the views presented were broad and con prelensive. A tie and impressive deliv ery, an earnesness unusual,and the mark ed attention accorded him, show, that al though as yet unaccustoned to public speaking, ie is by no means without power. A pic-nie, the usual conconi'tant of such occasions, followed with its flow of mlitth and good hunor. It is gratifying whenever we can find any good resulting from our recent loss of pro perty, and the disorganization of the former structure of our society. We have an in stance of this kind in the school -)f which %we are speaking. The teacher of th; Academy is one of that noble band of ladies who have attempted to rouse themselves from the gloom that has of late years settled upon us, and have gone forth to battle earnestly with life. A clear and comprehensive intellect, one capable of developing a system, and with versatility equal to adapting it to, and harmonizing it wi4h, all the various shades of individual disposition, has thus been call ed into the service of the community. The result is seen now, in a well organized, sys tematic, and harmonious school, pupils really ;ympathetle and interested, and an apprecia tive community; the result will be seen years hence in an intelligent, refined, and ,levated public sentiment. The intimate con tact of the young with a mind, naturally righly endowed, with sentiments delicate ind elevated, and chastened by an acquaint ance with those writers who have for centu ries past. given direction to English thought, :annot but be productive of lasting good.
