To Oie Editor of the Daily News : A recent visit to Grocnvillo District afforded tho opportunity to view some of tho most picturesque scenery of which our State can boast. Thinking that a description of our trip through a portion of tho '-Helvetia of South Carolina ' may not bo with? out intel est to somo of your readers, wo havo ven? tured to send you this hurried and imperfect sketch. The region, though mentioned iii most of tho published descriptions of tho State, is still almost unknown to tho majority of tho dwollors in the low country, and is pictured in their imagination as little moro than a wild howling wilderness. A pleasant rido of eighteen milo i from Green? ville Court-honso, easily accomplished in a fore? noon, through a country for thc most part thickly wooded, brought us to our destination for the night-a fanner's cabin, situated at t io head ol one of tho coves, formed by an angle in thc* hills constituting tho first of a scries of low ranges which at this point run parallel to tho mountains. Next morning wo wero carly under way, and soon struck into what is called tho Jones' Gap Road. This celebrated highway was opened only ] a few years previous to tho war. It is named after the engineer by whom it was laid out, and who ? superintended its construction. This man, by thc ? way, is quito a character in MB neighborhood. ? Rearod without the advantages of carly education, i ho acquired a knowledge of reading and writing after he had reached thc age of manhood. It is ; said that his wife was his teacher. His natural . abiiity, bowovcr, triumphed ovor tho deficiencies ( of his carly opportunities, and his force of cb a rac- , tor secured for him a considerable reputation in , his neighborhood. Tho ?doa of constructing a ] road across the mountains at a point which would : communicate directly with the rich region of tho , Broad River Valley of North Carolina, took strong possession of his mind, and ho incessantly agit?t- , cd the subject, until finally ho succeeded in tomi- , iog an association among tho residents ou , both sides of the mountains, who took tho ? matter in hand, provided tho means, and ] set JOKES to work. Tho result is one . of tho finest mountain roads in tho country. SOL- I OMON JONES took a decisivo part during thc war. , Ho was a Union man-or Tory, as was the com- | mon term then-and his example and iuilucnce i was so powerful amongst his rustic neighbors i that tho whole section becamo notorious, and the ] wild glens and caves of theso mountains woro the resort of numerous deserters from tho Con- ? federate armies, and of disaffected spirits gener? ally. In one of these wild recesses is pointed out ? the site of what was an entrenched Tory camp. | Somo desperate deeds aro also said to havo been : committed hero, and their history bids fair to bo , perpetuated amongst tho traditions of thc Dark , Corner of Greenville District. 1 The road follows the meandering course of tho , South Fork of tho Saluda River to its source at tho very head of tho Gap. Winding our way at thc foot of the hills, round tho head of narrow rc- ? cedintr coves, and past tho rocky spurs of moun- , tain ridges, through narrow glens and broad spreading bottom lands, over whoso well culti? vated acres wares tho luxurious corn. By solitary hamlet and woodman's cabin, nestled under frowti 'ng cliff, or buried amid umbrageous foliage, wo hold our courso until turning tho high spur of Ellen's Pinnacle, we pass sud? denly round into tho great Gap itself. Hore, on either hand, tho precipitous sides of this ira mon80 chasm rear their rocky fronts over one thousand feet in height, covered from summit to bottom in grc^n foliage, except where hero and (hero Uio bare f ace of some immense slab of rock shows itself ghstenitR in thc 6uu, or a while streak of spray dashes in impetuous haste down* tho mountain sido, rushing and gurgling in its rocky courso until it joins its wators with those of the limpid river in thc valley. As wc advance tho Gap gradually narrows, until the precipitous sides seem almost within a stoue's throw of each other, and tho bottom of the immenso chasm hos only room for tho passage of tho rushing stream. Thc road now begins to climb tho mountain side, doubling and zig-zagging upon itself as it gradually feels its way upwards towards tho blue sky above. Hero the skill of tho engineer displays it:olf, in tho deep grading of thc rocky shelf on which wc lind ourselves gradually ascending higher and higher above the sullen rush of tho waters, now left deep down tho vale. A stone thrown over this abyss goes thundering down tho declivity, indicating on each occasion, by its protracted descent, thc increased height to which wo have attained. Surveying our position, wo nehold behind us thc narrow defile stretching away towards Polt's Cove; on our left tho rocky front of "L'ald Rock" frowning over us, and in front tho (rap hoad, now a visible pass through thc rocky gorge. In duo courso wo roach tha summit of the ridge, and leaving thc toad wo turn to thc loft and pass on to the chain, on tho southwestern verge of which rises the giddy height of Casar's Head. A stretch of threo miles along thc ridge brings us toward tho summit, and os wc approach, glimpses through thc thick forest growth show us, across tho intervening valley, tho towering front of Table Rock. At longth wc reach tho open summit of the mountain, and stand upon tho flat lodgo that overhangs tho precipice Herc a sight breaks upon tho view whick must beggar all description. Thc first impression is ono of solemn awe. Thc spectator dreads to trust him? self to tho fascination winch tempts him to ap? proach tho brink and lookdown that fearful height. Moro than a thousand feet beneath ns spreads tho whole State o? South Carolina ?ike a vast plain. Wo stand as it wore upon an immense wall en? closing a smooth tract of level laud, which extends before us as far as tho oyo can reach. Seemingly one grand landscapo garden of waving vordurc. Hero and there smiling farms with their open fields and white cottages, break tho monotonous . face of the forest. Pain's Mountain stands solitary ' in tho distanco; thc glistening spires of Greenville indicate the spot where nestles tho little town wo left the day before. With a telescope of high mag? nifying power, it is said, that the spires of St. Michael's and St. PhUp's, and tho wbite sails of tho ships upon tho ocean, might here been ren? dered visible. To our loft-in solemn and stat3ly crandour rises tho rocky pilo of Table Bock-at thc head of a high spur it projects its castellated walls, like an advanced sentinel keeping watch and ward over tho smiling State at its foet. Between us yawns thc deep, dark valley of tho Dismal. Behind-peak rising upon peak-and ono moun? tain range behind another, liko a vast troubled sea rise the Alpine heights of North Carolina. There is Pi8gah's narrow pinnacle mounting into thc sky. Yonder is tho black heavy chain of the Balsam Mountains. A tbick cloud which has been slowly gathering among these mountain ridges, now assumes form, and in rapidly increasing dimensions is coming towards us, its dark shadow spreading gloom around its path. Tho rumbling thunder tells of thc approaching storm, and thus admonished wo determine to Beek shelter beforo wo aro overtaken by the heavy rain, which we can distinctly hoar pattering on the leaves in the valleys around us. Fortunately, the hospitable roof of the Mountain House, close at hand, affords tho desired sheltor, and here, within view of the storm now racing around Tablo Bock, wo sit in soenrity until tho lightnings have spent themselves, and tho black clouds have passed over to drench the low lands, now hidden by the misty mantle from our view. Wbilo our horses tako their feed of corn, wo amuse oursolves by strolling to tho various points from which views of this grand panoroma can bc most effectively beheld. At every bend and turn of tho road-from tho summit of every rising knoll all over the mountain side-somo now and entranc? ing prospect presents itself. At one point is visi? ble the steep Bides of tho precipice itself, with its life-like projecting summit, on which, a short time before wo had been standine;. At another, we Razo down into the deep, dark valley-appropriately named the Dismal-hko a vast trough lined on oitlicr sido by dark turning precipices, whoso heights throw an almost co .tinual shadow across this land ol darkness. Not tho least interesting among tho phenomena of this mountain region is thc formation of tho clouds. These gather insen? sibly and rapidly around ono high poak after an? other, and rolling down valleys and round rocky crests, evapora to and disappear as rapidly as they had originated. Their effect is, however, very striking on tho landscape; their travelling shadows keeping a constant motion, which is very pleasing to tho eye, and varies thc monotony ol a view which is deficient in variety. Time docs not permit to describo tho woodland beauties of this region. Tho bubbling springs gushing from thc rocky crevices-thc foaming cas? cades set in rich frames of waving vordnro, mois? tened with constant spray. Tho rank growth of tho valleys-the stately trees, whose tops tower to heights almost emulous of tho mountains, and whose spreading branches intertwining overhead, form vistas of shade grateful to tho toiling travel? ler. Tho rich clusters of rhododondra growing amidst tho barren rocks, and a hundred other flowers which deck thoso solitudes, and add tho charm of bimplo beauty to tho wild majesty of nature. No finer sconcry can bo found in thc country than this region of our State a rds; and it o:?ly requires to bo known and doser id by somo moro competent pen than mine, to soe. i for it that at? tention from our travelling pu'- which it do scrves, and will repay. PEAB1S. LETTER FROM THE COt "RY. To thc Editor of tlie Daily News: AM F.r.soN, July 20, 18G7.-While on tho road from Laurens to Abbeville tho heavens gathered blackness, and a refreshing rain foll upon tho thirsty hills and valleys of Laurens District, which had boen threatened with drought. This rain will very much benefit the corn in that district, md wo may now say the corn crop is safe over most of tho State, and tho crop will be large and satisfactory. In Abbovillo everything looks well. Cotton is thriving, corn growing abundant, and thc pcoplo hopeful of rcliof by tbo coming crops. Business is necessarily dull, very few goods being ffantod, and money not plenty, while tho mor? dants aro not disposod to sell on credit to any ?jreat extent-iudocd they aro unablo to, even if they had tho moans. Trade from this district has boen turned largely towards Augusta, and it will require some efforts to bring it back to its old .'hannels. Tho recent discovery of rich veins of gold about iix miles from Abbovillo bas caused somo exei fo? ment among tho pcoplo, and will croate an influx jf adventurers, and speculator if tho flattering re? ports aro confirmod by further discoveries. >But my impression is that gold mines aro no benefit to i community, Lut rather tend to demoralize indus? try and seriously to interfere with husbandry. After all, tho truo minos of wealth aro tho produc? tions of agriculture, and Carolina may bc rich in those if her peoplo awake up to the rosources which science and nature havo placed in their aands. It never yet has boen ascertained how much an lero of land can produce It may bo that by a perfect system of huBoandry, by careful working iud abundant manuring, an aero of ground may bo made to produco five, ten, twenty timoa as much as it over did before, while tho additional cost <>f working may bo enhanced not over 100 per cent. An aero of land may produce naturally ten bushels of corn. Ono hundred pounds Peruvian ?uano, with somo work, will make it produco twenty bushels. Two hundrod pounds, with tinor work, will raiso tho production to forty bushels, and with extra care and high manuring one hun? dred bushels of corn have bcon raised on one aero in this State. Does not tho true secret o? agri? cultural success lio just hore? In ray landlord's garden in Laurens, I found a small patch of corn; the stalks aro all ten to fifteen feot high, very large and splendid in :olor, and on many single stalks I counted five oars, and on the others three and four. No spocial care had been taken of this corn-m fact lt hal been neglected-yet it will produce at tho rato of sixty to seventy bushels per acre; wbilo in a field not a stone's throw dis? tant the corn will not make ton bushels to the acre. I feel assured a now era is about to open upon agriculture in South Carolina, and that the best results will follow. This place, from winch I writo, has felt thc de? pressing effects of loss of cap ital and loss of life caused by tho late war. But there ia much left yet, much indeed to bo thankful for, and, more tuan all, much to do. It will never answer for ns to fold our hands and Bay all is lost, we aro ruin? ed, wc can do nothing. This ia'"bosh." Weean all do something, and all ia not lost. But of this more anon. Th* Convention of thc Baptist Church ia hold? ing its annual meeting hero, but tho attendance is not large. I dropped in for a few minutes on Sa? turday afternoon. Dr. WINKLER was presiding with dignity and judgment. A very interesting subject was before thc Convention, namely, what plan can the Church adopt to aid colored preach? ers, or thoso who desire to prc ich, to obtain somo theological education. Dr. REYNOLDS offer? ed a resolution asking for a committee to prepare a plan and submit it at tho next meeting of the Convention. But prompt action was desired, and tho resolution was adopted after striking out the words "tho next meeting," and requiring a report at this. Yesterday tho Baptist ministers occupied all the pulpits in this place. I had thc pleasure of hear? ing tho Rev. Dr. WILLIAMS at thc Presbyterian Church in thc mornuig, who preached an admira? ble sermon, tho burdon of which was''Trust in God." Our p?op'e SCJIU to havo no trust in any creature, it will bc well if they can trust more to a Divino Providence. A. B. C. RISTORI is studying her new role of MABIE AN? TOINETTE, in which she will appear in New York in September. Tho C36tum.es aro copied from the originals found at Versailles. A Mississippi papor thinks Gen.

Tho fastest time rn:.de is one hundred and ten miles in three hours. One hundrod and eighty-eight acres on the Hud? son River sold for $38,000. A SUNDAY IN WILMINGTON, N. C. Our Episcopalian readers will bo interested in tho following extracts wo aro permited to mako from a private lotter. Our correspondent is high church, and, we surmise, a lady, from thc minute accuracy with which tho subject of clerical vest? ments is handled : WmnNOTON, N. C., July 20.-St. James is thc fashionable church of this eily. I went there yes? terday morning, and hoard tho Rev. Mr. PATTEH 80N. Ho is a Grook by birth. St. James was built beforo tho American Revolution; was occu? pied by tho British, and after tho occupation of this city by tho Federal forces, was ustd as an hos? pital. It has boon refitted, however, in tho most approved 6T high church style. I have never seen any church in thia country arranged in tho same manner. (I have at home.) I supposo this must havo been arranged after tho most '-ritualistic" pattern. Thero is a large space enclosed by tho commu? nion rails, within which, close to tho last window, on a platform, raised by two slops, stands tho communion table, in tho form of an altar. At tho foot of tho stops, noarer tho outside rail, Btands, on ono sido, tho mading desk; on tho other side is the piase whore thc clergyman preaches. It ia not a pulpit, but what in high church parlanco is de? nominated a " forc-stool," being a shaft with a stand upon which to lay thc manuscript serm:n like a large handsome leading or mimic stand. There is a litllo pieco of wo jd-work outside, which just bides tho foot of Ibo speaker. In front of this is tho rail and placo for thc communicants to kneel, and tho baptismal font. Tho church ishandsoiuo, j ot simple ; has stained glass windows, nnd a good deal of carving on tho wood work. Mr. PATTEKSON is higher Church than any I have como across in this country, reads all thc prayers at tho altar on his knees, turns bia faco to tho East when ho repeats thc Creed, baa tho Gloria ratri sung at tho end of each Psalm in tho Morning Prayer ; commences each Psalm himself, even though he read the last verso of thc ono preceding. He preaches in a surplico with a black skirt under it, coming a htt!o below it, black scarf, snirt collar low, plain cut, like a priest, and cambrick neck bands, such as thoy wear in Eng? land. After the scrvieo thc silver plates aro hand? ed round, and ho standa at fte font to receive them, reading tho Offertory all thc while. When thc plates aro handed to him lie takes thom up and lays them solemnly on the altai, with a low bend and short silent prayer. Thenho roads thc prayer for tho Church Militant, alter which ho gives the Benediction. Beforo commencing tho sermon he kneolB down at tho foot of the altar placing his hoad on the grouud, and oflers a silent prayer. I liked tho sermon very mud?. It was 6hort thirty-five minutes. Tho snbjcct-intercessory prayer; toxt from St. JASLES : ''Tho effectual for vont prayer of a righteous man availeth much." Tho manner of tho preacher is good, his enuncia? tion clear and pleasant, languago strong, simple and choice-no flowers-pure, elegant, and in per? fect taste; sontimcnts strongly Tractarinn (not too much so forme). Ho was very severe on ex-.Vm pore prayer, oxcitemont, noise, etc., and ended by saying, a true Christain was, only known by thc fruita ho bore. I likod tho sermon better than any I havo hoard ?inco I used to bear Mr. B. on the other side of tho water. Last night I went to St. John's. There wore three clergymen prcsont; all ihroc carno in in white gowns, knelt down ut tho altar like Roman Catholic priests, and went through tho sorvico wi th a good deal of pomp and ceremony. Thc music was very fine, except for ono fault, there were no vnnlc voices-tho choir consisted entirely of ladies. Mrs. TEKBT, thc clergyman's wife, has a splendid voico, and is thc leader. Tho church is new and pretty, fixed up in high church stylo, but not exactly like St. James', not so handsome. It has a largo wiri to cross standing on thc altar or communion table, which is of thc samo form as tho ono in St. James'. I do not know tho name of thc clorgyman who preached. Ho has a pleasant voice. His subject was tho devotion of our tal? ents, our minds, and our bodi.< - tu tho scrvieo of God. Tho text was St. Paul's words: "Offor your bodies a living sacrifico to God." I liked the ser" mon tolerably well, but not as weil as Mr. PA-ITEB SON'S. * * * Public Meeting in Marlon. General R. K. Scott, Superintendent of tho Freedmen's Bureau in this State, has been in our town a few days, during which timo has been em? ployed in thc investigation of sundry casca per? taining to his department. On Sunday hi8t ho addressed a largo crowd of citizens of tho town and surrounding country, both white and black. His remarks wore address ed moro particularly to tho latter; and, as on a former occasion, ho gave thom some- good advice, which wo trust may not bo without good results. Ho spoke of tho "poverty of tho country, scarcity of provisions, tho causes which produced it, and, showing them tho onlv remedy bv which to extri? cate themselves from theso difficulties. Poor land and poor labor, ho said, would koop them in astato of poverty. Ho pointed them to tho rich plan? tations of tho West, whero tho laborer is richly re? munerated for his services, and wheo thc tiller of tho soil reaps a rich rowcrd for his labor, and ia thcroby enabled to pay bia employees good wages. It is tnoro they must sock to raiso themselves from poverty and want, and consequently from igno? rance. Hero thoy can hopo to mako only a scanty support for themselves and families. There they can accumulate wealth and independence. Ho alluded to thc vag'ry of social equality en? tertained by soiiio, and in a fow romaka allowed tho impracticability of such a tiring, not only be? tween tho diffoiout races, but also between those of thc Banio race and color. Thia is a matter out sido of tho law, which in every age and country must regulato itself. It over has boen, and ever will be, loft for each person tu choose his own companions. Ho alao told thom that they must no longer look to thc Government or to tho charity of tho North cm people for support, but must learn to bc a self sustaining institution. . General Scott was followod by others, among them Mr. Tomlinson, Superintendent of Schools for freedmen in this St ito. His remarks wero well timed, and very appropriate. Ho told them of thc rapid progross of the caaso in thia and other states; of tho Bevon! trillions of dollars which had been furnished for its support by various charit? able societies of tho North, and expended fur their benefit. Ilia estimate waa, that tbcto aro on an averago seventy-three schools in tho State, attend? ed by ab-jiit seven thousand children, at nu ex? pense of upward ol one hundred thousand dol? lars; and thai tlioro are about seventy thousand children of freedmen in tho state who' might at? tend schools if thoy were established, ?iud the means fiiruisliod.-Marion Crescent.
