Tho croation of a groat national for estry and gamo reservo in Northern Minnesota, ombracing ^,000,000 . acres around tho head waiora of tho Missis sippi Uiver, with many lakes of raro beauty, well stocked with fish, will bo advocated before Congress next wintoi by prominent citizons of Chicago and Minnosota. The promotora of tho plan oro not likoly to oxperionco much difli oulty in interesting Congress. Thc gamo and the virgin forests of tho Uni ted States aro disappearing so rapidly that it is exceedingly important that measuros bo taken, before it is too late, to savo somo of tho great wooded acres of tho continent. It is ono of tho marked features of tho legislativo and popular Indifforonco to 11 mir best interests common to those logions that such enterprises as this novor originate in our Southern Stales. Yot th oro, it would seem, wo havo the most promising, most adaptable, and tho most accessible regions for such purposes to bo found anywhoro within our national limits. Nearly all of tho forestry reserves that have been estab lished up to the present time aro in the far Northwest; tho chief of them, tho Yellowstone National Park, is inaccessi ble to tho great majority of tho people. Nothing of national scope is to bo found Kast of tlie Mississippi Uiver. Within about a day's travel of Now York, Philadelphia, Hall ?more. Wash ington and most of tho Atlantic Sea board, and quito as accessible to Pitts burg, Cincinatti, Louisville, Indianap olis and St. Louis, th oro are vast stretches of virgin forests -along the line of tho (ireat Smoky Mountains, on tho border between Tennessee and Not th Caroliua-that aro thoroughly suited to tho purpose of a groat game and forest preserve. Going up from the lowlands at Walhalla, S. C., to tho high plateau surrounding Highlands, N. C., a stage trip cf about thirty miles, Hu ?ale Prof. Gray, tho eminent botanist of Harvard tells us that he encountered a greater number of species of indigenous trees than could be observed in a trip from Turkey to Kngland, through Europe, or from tho Atlantic mast to tho Kooky Mountain platcai. The region surrounding thal described by Prof. (?ray, especially to the wost, with tho headwaiters of tim Tennessee, tho French Broad and tho Savannah Uivors, all within a few miles of eaeli oilier, with fertile valleys and mountain ele vations of Ti,OHO feet or nunc and a den sity of verdure unnpproached elsewhere, ls an ideal spot for a preserve, where ovory sort of North American animal or fish would thrive and where almos! ovory tico or plant, found within our borders from (ho Allantie to Hie Pacific would grow uncared for. Tho laud in this region is still purchasable "for a song," certainly at as little as or even loss than that, obtaining in the North west. Tho climate, while suflieiently sovoro in tho winter to suit 11<<> more northern species of animal lifo, in uevor BUftloiontly so to kill great quantities of gamo, either by fr cozing or through lack of winter food, as is not uncommon in tho Northwest woods. Added to thc climatic and tho varied physical characteristics of this region, which especially lit it for the purposes in viow, thora is no like region ol> tai na ble where the varied and picturesque sconory so admirably adtls to the desira bility of the location. While those 1 oadwaters aro singularly devoid of jokes, thoi'C are ampio streams running through deep valleys and gorgos which render tho production of artificial laicos and reservoirs a matter ol detail and of slight oxpondituro. Cascados and oven waterfalls <?< very considerable dimon tions abound on ovory hand, vast, stretches of virgin forests, with an overgroen undergrowth of laurel, kalmia, rhododendron, otc, alford ample shel ter and browsing for tho winter, while tho stoop mountain sides, largely cov ered with bowlders and rocky ledges, from every cranny of which dense vege tali on springs forth, furnish safe homes for all varieties of our .smaller animals. A park that would take in tho region along tho Smoky Mountains around Clingman's Dome, or tho Southern slopes around where North ami South Carolina and Georgia rnoet, in tho mid dle of tho headwaters of the Savannah Uiver, or where Tennessee, North Caro lina and Goorgia meet, would not.be mis placed. Tho timber and minora) wealth of tho region ment ioned are such that it can only bo a question of a few decades when those mountain slopes 111 Im de nuded and when tho people o." tho vast valleys that, depend on tiloso watersheds for moir water supply will sul?cr from tho blindness of a generation thal could not foresee the otherwise inevitablo and combino its prevention with the bono (its of au omi ming national park in tho populous Kast.-'Soient! lie American, August. Pith. Mrs. Piokons, w idow of Kx-Gov. I<\ W. Piokons, died on AugustSth nt her linnie, " ICdgowood" al. Kdgcflold. sin- was one of tho most brilliant women of Hie South.

MALEY VS. ?iiSiWfcPrtAN. Tho ?Judge" (?Ivos "Prince Albert" a Few Rounds. Messrs. Editor.?: lu voply to Mr. '/Am mormau's vory loamed exposition on tb? boundary lino, botwoon this State and' the Stato cf Georgia, I havo tho follow ing propositions to submit: First. That Oooueo county ls a muuiob pal corporation, and, as suoh, has only euch powors ns aro expressly granted it by tho Legislature. ?Second. That, whilo tho Loglslaturo bas granted thu County Supervisor and Hoard of Commissioners tho authority to contract with adjoining counties in this State, it has not granted it authority to contract with calcining States, or counties in adjoining States. In support of this proposition I submit Revised Statutes of South Carolina, Section 1203: "If any bridges ovor wators of this State, which const i tin o a bon Hilary lino botwoon countios, shall bo nocossary to bo erected or ropaircd, it shall bo tho duty of tho Supervisor of suoh counties to cause tho samo to bo erected, or ropaircd, in tho manner provided in tho last Soctiou, each county bearing an oqual share of tho oxponso so inourrod." No authority is given whatovor to tho County Super visor or board of Commissioners to oon I tract with an adjoining Stato, or county ! in ra adjoining Stato, in tho building of bridges, or anything olso. I In Forty-Eighth South Carolina, pago (!0, Mr. Jiistico Jones says, Chiof .lu st iee Mciver concurring: "ff a bridge O'vor watet6 of thia Stato, which constitute a boundary lino botwoon i counties in this-Stato is necessary, pro vision is expressly mudo how it is to bo done, how tho oxponso is to bo paid, and how tho bridgo is to bo thoroaftor malu I taincd." (Section I20;i). Wo lind nothing in tho Statutes giving County Commissioners power to buy, or build, a bridgo over rivers separating this State from anothor Stato, and it is impossible to suppose that tho Legisla ture means to confer such power with out somo express provision to that olioot, when it is os oxplicit as to building bridges over streams soparating counties in this State; norean power bo inferred from r. graut of general jurisdiction over highways and bridges within their re spective counties. Hy this you seo that tho "solemnly signed Wilburn contract with llabor shani county and su.idry citizens of Coo nee" is null and void and tho Commis sioners of Oconeo county, who thus ille gally signed it, and thereby wasted somo three thousand dollars of tho people's money, aro liable, on their respectivo bonds, to tho people for tho amounts spent in tho building and rebuilding of those throe bridges. So, "Prince Albert," you will soo by the above quotations that this "solemnly signed Wilborn contract" bas boon "sot aside" and all, too, lioforo it roached "Judge Haley's court" and even before "Prince Albert" got a whack at lt. With his usual recklessness ho chargos that I was it "star of tho (Irat magnitude" in the previous admin istrations that placed our county some live thousand dollars in debt, when tho books lo which be bad access show that tho bay administration, tho only ono preceding tho prosont ono that I had any connection with, that it paid, or very nearly so, all of its contracts. These same books will furthor show that tho indebtedness now ?Ino bj' tho county was contracted by administrations pre ceding Lay's and in which if ho was not a "Prince" ho cortainly was a benet.ciary to tho extent of several months' work by the convicts to and in tho direction of his Toxaway farm and to Iiis chum and farmer part nor's mill, bis protestations as to having nothing to do with bankrupting the county to tho contrary notwithstanding. Ho seems to base his claim lo a freo bridgo to his "Scott placo", in Georgia, on a longer residence in tho county than that of myself. 1 havo boon a resident of Oconeo for nearly forty-sevon years, and it's the fault of my parents, and not of myself, that 1 wasn't hero sooner. Can he say as much'.' lie further says: "I am in need of a bridgo to tho Scott placo as badly as Mr. Haley a graded and macadamized road to Haley's store." Now, tho only macadamized road on this sido of Oconeo that 1 know ol' is in sight of Mr. Zim merman's house, not ovor a milo from bim, and to my certain knowledge thora is not a foot of McAdam in four or live i ules of Haley's store. Purther oil be says: "I have helped build tWO free bridges that Mr. Ilaloy and tho people have boon using a long timo." So in reply 1 will say I and tho people havo already built three free bridges at Prathor's, and as soon as tho county and the people got aldo to build ami pity for a free bringo at KavencH's, Ninnnons's, Shclor's Kerry, .Jenkins's Korry ano Ihirnt Tanyard, wo may lio min to think honors about even, and con clude to help rebuild Prathor's. In tho meantime, "Prince Albert," in going to your Scott, place go by your new convict made road and Percival's Crossing and Jarrett's tree bridgo, which is just below tho Prathoi' farm; its a better road, I am told anyway, and if it, is a milo or two further, you can stand it awhile. II. may be true that the road from llrasstown to Port Madison, a distance of some ten miles, has had only o::;' chango to tho cost of $7-1 in twenty years, but, as I recently passed over it for (UKO in twenty years, I am obliged to say th it I saw three mighty big piles of blasted rook along it to not havo no more money than that spent on it. So, "Prince Albert," I don't think your township has any just right to complain. lust think of it, the con victs making you now a now road to Percival's Crossing, and on a previous occasion having marlo a now road to Dickson's springs, and also on a previous occasion having worked out your roads to Johna's mills, and also by tho Hudson bridge to your Toxaway farm ; also, for several weeks work under tho direction of Mr. Commissioner Cook, having done good and valuable service at and around Kort Madison, all, too, ("now remem ber",) in your (Tugaloo) township, and built, you three bridges at Prathor's be sides, and a half mile of macadamized road in a mile of your home. Tho effort he at tempts to make to pre judice tho other members o? tho board to bis way of thinking and against mo, by the uso of tho pronoun, or "Big 1, will provo him naught, as tho other members of tho board, as OVOiy ono knows, who know thom al. all, know them to be just as big "I'M" as myself, or even he. Ho winds up by saying, "I boite he will get. his eyes open and seo tho law, the justice and Ihr right and join with us and rebuild tho bridge. I confidently believes the Hoard, or a majority of tho same, will do so and Olid the trouble.'' Ho seems to be about the only ono troubled, anil I don't know of any ono that's fearing or canting anything about Ins threatened law suit. Now, "Prinoo Albert," just possess yourself in patience and bathe your head in some cooling solution, until our people recover from the effects of four ccnl.s cotton and the building of three bridges for you at Prathor's, and got tlieb debts ail paid, and build a few free bridges and some good roads for some one other than yourself, and maybe af tor Ibis is all dono wo may join with you if wo can seo tho "law, tho justice and the right," and help you build you a bridget lo your Scott place, and thereby build np a Georgia town at our own expense.

About twonty-flvo of tho old comrades wore prosont and about ton o'clock thoy tuarolied to tho stand, a largo ono which bad boon orootod under tho overshadow ing i)i ?inches of somo largo oaks.

Tho Dootor was dressod in a suit of Goufodorato gray and by his sido Blood Miss Luoy Lovorott, holding in lior hand an old Coufcdorato jacket that had scon service. Ono of tho finest speeches of tho day was that ci young W. C. Latimor, a son of Congressman Latimor, on tho Philippiuo question. It was a very lino and effective ?0 '.?ms, was woll dolivorod and brought forth many com plimentary remarks. Af tor an adjournment1 for a most bountiful pionio dlnnor, tho crowd of somo two thousand llvo hundrod or moro pooplo again gathered olosoly around tho stand to hoar Congressman Latimor and Sonator Tillman. Hoforo tho speaking bogan a four-pronged pitchfork, wrapped in f ?use], with a gold bug impaled on two of its tines, was suspended ovor tho stand. Mr. Latimor began his spcoch by a jocular roforonco to tho pitchfork, ex pressing his fear of it, and ontroating tho crowd not to lot an Fdgollold man como up boro and pitchfork an AndoiBon man. Ho alluded to tho fact that tho farmers aro so gonorally warned to avoid politics in all thoir mcotings. mid claimed that it was their right and duty to dis cuss politics, for politics was nothing but tho "sotaneo of government," and farm ofs woro a vory largo part of tho govern ment and its affairs concornod thom. Ho warned thom against hoing lulled to sloop by this cry of avoiding politics, as it was intended to sidotrack and disor ganize thom. Ho romindod thom of what thoy had accomplished by organi zation in tho Alliance against tho jute trust, and affirmed his boliof that the farmers could broak any trust by organ izing against it. lio attacked tho Philip pine policy of tho administration. Sonator Tillman was thou introduced, and tho crowd drow closer. Ho bogan by referring pleasantly to tho presence of so many Indies, a feature which wai noticeably absent during his campaign speeches. Ho said ho took a spocia interest in this rounion bcciuso his bro thor commanded Company I of tho sann rogimont. Ho then paid his respects tt tho expansion policy of tho Hopublioai administration.

Ho rt minded tho people that sinco ho boga tho light in IMHO all the daily papers an most of tho country weeklies had boo against him and had garbled his uttei ancos and misrepresented him.
