Ono of tho most pleasant recollections of my lifo is that of tho days spout among thc Cher okee lud?an:?, during tho latter part of tho yoftr eighteen hundred and sixty-three, and tho .months of January aud February, eigh teen hundred and sixty-four. Indeed, thoso days will bo cherished by mo during my whole life, and tho happy moments I spout in thc wilds of tho Smoky Mountains will bo rcmom 'bore'd'aa, tho' (t sunny timo." Tho manner i? whioh I enjoyed mysolf with those original Wings, and tho many anecdotes of their truly original life, (not so poetical as sotno writers have made it,) but truly original in simplici ty,- huvo made a. lasting impression ou my mind. Bofor? proceeding further with my narra tive, X will, describo tho country iuhabitcd by thoso Indiana, and tell something of tho man raer of their lifo. They aro Bottled in tho Districts near Quai le Town, in Jackson County, (and also iu Haywood and Cborokoe < 'ouDtics, No. Ca.,) on small farms consisting of ubout thirty or forty acres each, and tb?so farms are princi pally worked by tho women. I Tho Indian mon hunt tho mountains noar by fer tho dcor and boar, that abound so plen tifully ia that wild oountry. Tho women aro the real workers of thc ?soil. Tho male portion of tho community would consider it wrong, or iu other words tlaifflc-rous; to infringe on this time-honored right of their women. It luis been a long es tablished custom of this rude people. Thc m,en somotimcs work, but seldom ; and when they do, it is not characterized by earnestness :audjgood will. On thc contrary, their prov S'.'.Co s??ms t? b? hunting, aud they will go off to tbo raouutains aud remain six or seven days .at a timo, living on parched meal, which, by ;ifry the-by, ia a food that kills both thirst and / hunger. I will hore relate an old tradition / among tho Indians, that clings to their recol lections evon nt this lato period. It runs thus : . " In olden times, when n wedding was about to take place, all the Indians were gath ?ered together around thc happy pair, and af ter much Binging, (or in other words howling,) the fair bride handed her 'lord and master' .an oar of oom, nud iu return ho handed her thc leg of a deer, and tho ceremony was con summatcd amid thc wildest excitement."--. Now to them thoro is a reason for this strange proceeding, and when I asked thc old chief .what it meant, he oxplaincd it to me : " Thc handing -tho oar of corn by thc squaw meant that the woman would stay at homo and cul tiyato the ground, and attend to the house, &0. And the handing the leg of thc dcm jiieaDt that the man would procure thc meal by bunting and by this means of equal la bor, food was provided for tho family. Thoir farms aro well taken oarc of. Som< of tho Indiana (wornon) lay up muo]i cort ???_. Ojld.foddor for tho winter, and equal, if thej do uot surpass, many of tho poor, whito far imers of that desolate region, in economy ant frugality in their household affairs. Tho Indians r ic vory proud of their homes and in " thoir settlements,'' as they term Lhci landa, they have their own Iowa and regulu itions, and I can in truth say that they ar Vcfy jost in thoir ideas of right and wrong. If they have not a Blackstone or a Kent i refer to, and show to them " tho rights of pei BOrta, and ptivato wrongs, &c.," they certain j_ . ly bavo a good friend in their adopted chid QMonel William H. Thomna, (of Stckor Fields, tho name of bia farm in Jackson ooun ',y, to whom they refer all their trials an uirtidultics, and thoy aro suro to get redress This gontloman has dono much towards th .arnalioraiion of the Indian character. Iii untiring efforts io their behalf havo been th oauHO of their advanced civilization, and hi good work? among thom will cortainly bo rt membered by their children's children, wit pride and heartfelt gratitude. Ono of tho most romar??blo of thoir pai times witnessed by mc, was their "dance; and when I snw thom gathered around a larg log fire, joining hand? and singing in thai Homiest manner, I could not help thinking c ?their c?reles? happiness.. I felt as if I mui toko a share in their innocent frolic, and whe I did so, they seemed delighted. Sometime they spend wholo days in enjoyments of th kind, and now, tl>at thoy have religion arnon iiho'm?tboy often meet nt the "Mission IIouso, and nftor their religious exorcises are ov< they havo " a donco." Although they know, as yot, very litt about tho Biblo, they love to have its toael inga explained to them, and liat?n attentive io tbc-reading. Tho Biblo baa been transl jfced into, their .language of lato yenrs. ' ^ Tho women como well supplied for thc rfwttioua feasts, and think nothing fl?f woarh . libree drosaos at a timo, so that they con a ;|>cor iu ) uow dre?? each day of ^hc feast. a, ? . . -v.! . !i. ?- ,,.,^?-j: ...

"Those arc their j charms.'' , I had the cu'rios'ily .to attend the funeral of j a ver/bld lrtdnin<formcr,' who in tiutifvUld ' die of a good old nge, lie bcjng over ninety j years, and. d, jpust say it wAs conducted in 1 quita a Christian liku manner:,/They, li:.-: procured U few boards, frnfiMvlhoh tjioy'inau'o a collin or box, in which tl icy placed their dead brother, with much oare and sorrow. Aftor soinO gestures over the body by one of tho older mein bora of thc tribe, probably a chief, they lowered thc collin in tho gravo, al lowing tho top to bo even with thc ground. They then plaocd sonic dirt and stones loosely on thc coflin, and around the grave they built a fence, over which they plaocd a covering of brushwood. They then departed in silcnoc. I wondered why they wore so careful in ar ranging thc grave, ko., and on asking au old Tndiau, Iso informed mc the rca.;ou. Ile said, " Tt was their custom never to bury one of their tribe deep in thc ground, for fear ho might not be quito dead, and as to tho fence, it was built to keep thc wild animals away." Tho Indian character is a peculiar one, and ruy sojourn among them gavo mc a good in sight into their real dispositions and habits. I found that they generally were united in their likes and dislikes, and I observed that when you offouded one, tho dissatisfaction sprend through tho wholo tribe, and bis quar rel was made tho quarrel of all. They were very dangerous when aroused, and I thought treacherous, (I had always road that thoy wore,) and I feared thom whenever I saw any signs of anger on their countenances. They never sought, however, to do nie any injury, although I was often loft with iifty or sixty of thom in thc mountains lilouo, and somctimcs.had neither salt or potatoes to give them for several days. They treated mc kind ly, nevortholes?, und would willingly oat their deer and mountain trout without a murmur. Anot/nor charactoristio of thc Indian is, Vaat when he takes a fancy, ho ?3 a true friend, and wiU willingly share his meal with you, and do all in his power to mako you happy. . I oan uover forget their kindness to mr when they found that I was far away from home, and friends. Afters day's hunt, when thc game was being divided among them, they always reserved a share for me, find would ac company the gift with many kindly expr?s, sions, One of them called mc tho " Wandor? ing Star," because I was so far from home; and when I told him about New York and other great cities, his eyes grew very big, and ho shook his head in doubt. Thc Indians that served in the late Oonfcd orato States army (those that were under inj immediate command I can speak for,) o courso did not understand thc issues that tin two sections of thc country were trying ti maintain ; but I can truly say that thc large part of them did all in their power for tin cause they espoused, and fought Only forpoae once agaiu to their homes. tt was this result that they thought the; were fighting" for, and many of them lostthei lives in its defence. They were true to thc, homes and firesides. After thc war they willingly returned I their allegiance, to tho? United States ( lin en mont, ?nd would as willingly take up arms i defence of the Covern meneas they dit' again, [ it. All they ask is a hunting ground and resting place. [Correspondence Ot' tho London Times ] Eruption of ,Yecuv>us. NAPLES, NOV. 20.-AS yet I have dot 1 scarcel y mm e titan noto the faut of thc cru ' tion of Vesuvius, but so much has it incrcast J since Wednesday last, and so marvellous beautiful is tho spectacle, that it merits more detailed report. Unlike those terri ' displays whioh wo have had at times, ni which cease with ono great effort, this is lava eruption increasing ever in force ai beauty, nud promising a duration of sot weeks, if not months. If so-and it is t o ' , opinion of those most experienced in thc matters-all the world may soe it as soon j tho groundless fears as to the state of Nap 0 hove vanished. For tho first one or two nigl ,i tho mountain was modest enough in its dc j ?bstrat?ons-tongues of fire shot np to J nomico its internal agitation, and a thin strc 0 of lava trickled down behind in the direct s of Ottnjano, whioh lies on tho south-east s o of Vesuvius.

For thc last two or throe nights, li o over, tho scone has been tts grand as oatt ^ ir bo concoived ; but, before giving details, >f mo describo tho actual stato and nppoora tt of tho mountain.

Still there is nothing like mounting to the top, so let us bo off ; yet, better still, suppose j it to havo been done, and that last night. Giovanni Cozzolini was our guido, who, by vivtUO of having accompanied Humboldt and many of the Scientific and literary men of tho agc, expects his own name to bo enrolled in literary annals. Ho is, however, a very safo and iutolligont guido. There was no inoidcut to mark until wc.got to the foot of the main cone, when wc hoard tho thunder of t ho moun tain nud felt the shooks as of an earthquake at every clfovt ruado to disgorge the liquid fire. Ascending by tho usual road, we wcro com pelled, OU approaching tho summit, to skirt a little round to the south-east, for two reasons -first, to get on tho blind side of thc wind, which might have brought down upon us an inconvenient shower of stones ; and, secondly, to obtain a better view of tho main stream, which was fed, uot only by tho great crater, but by another orifico oponed outside, about 20 foot in diameter. From this spot tho stream of living fire, full 20 to 80 feet in width, poured down to tho bottom of the mountain rapidly where it. met with no obsta cle*, and where il did, struggle energetically until it carried every thing before it. To thc edge of the orator it was impossible lo ap proach j tho heat was scorching; and what would have been the consequences had thc lava boiled over and caine down upon UJ ? It was ditfioult, therefore, to form any fair esti mate of its size, but ono might have supposed that it was not over 70 foot" in diameter. Il was uot a moment, however, for figures, whet nature was exhibiting ber power in ono uf iti grandest forms. Thero was a roar and t shock, and then shot forth (lames and stone; full 1,000 feet in height, at intervals of fron one to five seconds, according to thc watch o one Of thc party. TIiOSO tremendous convul stuns wcro repeated, and then came the dc sco?ding shower, composed of stones of vari ons sizes, some certainly half a tun in w eight judging hy thc bulk We could mark (hoi ocurso by tho eye as long ss they retained th rod heat, but on approaching tho e.nih tho blackened, and then the ear alone could to what was spotting and pitting tho eavt around.

Dr. Dallington, of West Chester Pennsyl vnnin, whore tho usc nf lime baa been solong familiar, acknowledged it* beneficial effects on thc lighter soils, l ut says that its meliorating properties are most conspicuous in clay, or rather in a stilt* loam. On this class of soils it has just the contrary tendency of breaking down and softening their rugged properties. It renders them moro friable, less liable to bc injuriously acted upon by the sun, and muoh mdre readily permeable, by tho gases and va pour of thc atmosphere. The West Chester fanners think that a good proportion pf undo composed vegetable matter add greatly to the buuollcial effects of limo; and hence aro desi I'OUSof mingling us muoh barn-yard manure :is possible with their lime dressing, and to get their field:; into what is called a good, sod or turf, full of grass roots. Then a dressing of lime has an admirable effect. Dr. D. says further that soils which have a natural growth of black-oak, walnut, and popular, and those in which grasses best, flourish, aro generally, most signally benclittcd by ibo use of limo. lt is found, however, in that section, more or less beneficial ou every description of soil, but litest soon hillyer rolling laud where clay pre dominates. . It is a matter of surprise to what a degree opinion has varied as to the quantity to bc np plied per acre. In England and Scotland thc practice has differed from one hundred to four ur five hundred bushels. The larger quanti ties doubtless ave only admissible on heavy loams, ami in connexion with heavy manu ring, lu this country thc best experience docs not justify un application, on medium sjils, of moro than fo. ty to fifty bushels to a first dressing. On light and thin soils with Eulo vojgotablo matter twenty five to thirty bushels may be quilo, enough. Such dressing may bc repeated advantageously after four or five years, and in even increased, os tho sup ply of turf or other vegetable matter shall in crease. The prevailing practice ill some of the most experienced liming districts, is to plough down tho sod in tho fall or carly in thc silting, harrow nt once and then spread tho limoprovionuly slakotf toa powder, propato ry to planting the field in Indian corn. E\e Vy field in rota tip n receives tins kind of dress ing, and it is repeated, ovory lime it comes roundfoi"COni. If thc rotation embraces six or soveh years, some fanners make an inter mediate application on the sod, and lind tsia toiial advantage in it. Indeed thc.-method of applying on tho abd, and allowing it fo lie a your or I wo .before being ploughed, is uuu h preferred by many.
