A Song for September.
- September strews the woodland o'er
T With many a brilliant color;
Tho world ls br.gbter than before
Why shonld onr heai-i3 be duller ?
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather
Ah me ! this glory and this grief
Agree not well together.
This la the parting season-thia
The time when fri?nos are flying,
And lovers now with many a kiss
Their long farewells ?re sig h lug.
Why ls earth so gady dressed !
This pomp that autumn beareth
A funeral seems, where every guest
A bridal garment wearcih.

GREENVILLE, S. C., September IL
The sojourner at the "Mansion House" is
awakened lrom his matinal reverles* three
times a week by the melodious strains of a
largo Un horn, which, when applied to the
practical Hps of the traditionally self-impor?
tant "Jehu." proclaims the tidings lar and
wide that tbs United States mali coach for
Ashville ls about departing upon Its two days'
Journey, freighted In part with such Intelll-1
Renee, let us hope, as will briog more of Joy
than Borrow to our brethren beyond the Baie I
Ridge. Having concluded to take a trip, we
recently engaged passage by the four-norse
conveyance mentioned, and were soon riding
over what at this season ls a good road ol j
hard red clay lor more than two-thirds of the I
way to the first stopping place, twenty I
oneu inlle3 from Greenville, where wei
changed horses. The following ten miles,
at the termination of which we were
again provided with fresh teams, was the
most tedious part of tbe Journey, but our
animals Jogged patiently and carefully over
the rocky road, which winds beside the clear,
dashing streams ol tbe mountains, and
through their forests perfumed by the breath
of the wayside wild flowers. Gare in horses I
ls an eminently commendable qualification, I
especially observable in cases wnere drivers
who. through familiarity with the beautiful
scenery, have become Indifferent to its in-1
flnences and are not particular as to the time
and place when they find lt convenient to in-1
dulge In slumber. It may not be Irrelevant
to state that tbe popular Idea concerning the
hardy physical condition of mountaineers is
speedily dispelled by personal observation.
The natives generally have a sallow, cadave-1
rous appearance, attributable to coarse food
Improperly prepared, and their habitual ex
pression of stolid indifference does not give I
earnest of a people easily susceptible oft
Improvement through the civilizing agencies I,
ol "missionaries and cold water."
Any meditative and sympathetic traveller j,
who cares to speculate upon the subject mat-1
ter of our digression for several consecutive p,
hours will, at the end of that time, probably I,
find himself at the mile-stone which marks the I .
boundary-line between the Carolinas, at which 11
point emotional passengers from the Palmetto I j
State generally become patriotic or sentimen
tal -Just as the occasion suggests. Old travel-1,
len with chronic dyspepsia, therefore, avoid I.
calling attention to this stone. Eight miles
further, making thirty-seven miles from I ?
Greenville, we reached the plateau, (more \ \
than two thousand feet above tbe level of the I ?
sea,) which extends beyond Ashville, and, I
aa the last rays of the setting Bun were gild-1
lng the neighboring hills, we were ushered I:
Into the Charleston settlement of Flat Bock, I \
where a goodly number of your citizens were I <
assembled la carriages, ut the postoffice,
awaiting the arrival of their letters and TBE
DAILY NEWS. I
This charming retreat, the very look of
which Implies peace and rest from all world iv I
caress-consists of about forty houses, nearly ail
of which are handsome residences, situated I .
In tbe midst ot commodious grounds, and oe-1 <
cupled during- the summer months by the I j
present representatives of the Colonial faml- <
lief, of Middleton, Dray ton,Rutledge, Pi nckney, ?
Lo ffndes andfothers who have given this iso- j
lated settlement a social prestige, which adds I,
materially to Its otber advantages. The ell- J (
mate ls bracing and delightful, ned through-1,
Out the warmest weather lt ls necessary lor 1(
comfort to sleep bejieath a blanket.
Plat Bock is provided with a comfortable ,
hotel and an eminent physician In the person ]
of Br. H. C. King. The products of the coun- ,
try are cheap, but lt must cost considerable to I ?
transport otber necessaries of living lrom ,
Charleston. The only local house for divine I i
worship ls the Episcopal Church of "St. John's I
In tbe Wilderness," a substantial brick build-1 .
lng, consecrated in 1836, and capable of Beat-1.
log about wo hundred people. Its pastor, ,
tbe' Bev. J. G. Drayton, has a floe place, the I .
grounds of which are tastefully adorned with I,
tbe choicest of flowers, and also include a ?
templing variety of rare fruit. The Messrs. I
King, frenholm and Memmloger also have J
desirable country seats, commanding exten- j
sive views of the surrounding mountainous
country.
Throagh the courtesy of friends, we could
revert to tbe primeval limes at Flat Rock, its
origin, lis past glories, and the distinguished
personages who nave figured among its inbab-1
itants; but, aa this is merely a simple tale of I
the present, we must forbear. During Novem
ber, while tbe gaily tinted foliage of autumn is
fading before the cbill blasts of approaching
winter, tbe settlers return to their low-coun
try bornes, and Fiat Bock, clothed in garb of
snow and Ice, reposes in aristocratic seclusion
until awakened to life and beauty by (be genial I
warmth of another summer's sun. ROZINA.

TAL VU OF DIAMONDS.
Production and Annual cmand for
Diamonds.
Threatened as we are by the brilliant epi?
demic of the diamond fever, an estimate of j
the supply and demand of this article may be
found interesting.
Before the diamond discoveries In Africa,
the total amount of rough diamonds was esti?
mated by competent authority at 240,000 carats
"per annum in the rough, or, when cut, 120,000
carats. The annual demand for diamonds ls,
ot course, more difficult to estimate. There
are the following great cities in the world
where diamond-setting is carried on to a large
extent, and we give in a table the estimated
amount set or worked Into ornaments during '
each week:
Cities. Carats.
Paris.2,000
London.1,600
Vienna. MO
New York and Brooklyn. 600
Benin. 300
St. Petershurg. 200
Frankfort. 200
Florence.
Phdadephia. 100
Constantinople. 200
M< scow. 100
Birmingham. 160
Bosto.i. 100
Bio Janeiro. loo
lia va na. 60
Lima.s. 60
Total.6.150
To this must be added amount set in India..l,coo
And total in the rest of the world.1,000
Grand total per week.8,160
-or a total demand per annum for setting and
working dlamouds into ornaments, 423,800 carats.
As the above estimate is extremely mode?
rate there ls no exaggeration In aasnmlng that j
annual requirements for diamonds exceeded
the supply nearly four times before the Afri?
can discoveries. It ls even doubtful whether |
the 240,000 carats of rough diamonds produc?
ed before the African discovery really yielded
more than 100,000 carats of cut or polished
brilliants. Since the discoveries of diamonds
In Africa the total amount of yield per annum
bas been augmented by at least 200,000 carats
In the rough state. The total annual produc?
tion at present would therefore be: Rough
diamonds, 440,000 carats; which, when reduc?
ed by cuttlug and polishing, would yield 220,
000 carats as brilliants.
The startling question arises, How can a
demand of 423,000 carara have been supplied
three years ago by Bay 120,000 carats brilliants
produced ? Or how can even now a demand
01 423,000 carats of brilliants be adequately aup-1
plied by 220,000 carats of production "
Our readers must bear In mind that the dia?
mond is indestructible. Gold, for Instance, is
perishable, as lt is calculated that ten per
cent, of the annual production of gold, to use
a quaint term, evaporates, la gilding, mixing
with other metals, &e. This does not include
gold used In ornament or watches, Inasmuch
as that portion is m a collectable state of ex?
istence. Diamonds, on the other hand, are
lndestructlble,and their accumulation ls there?
fore enormous. Since 1770, a period of one
hundred years, the mines' in Brazil have yield?
ed an average ot 150.000 carats per annum In
the rough, or Bay 75,000 carats net cut bril?
liants, or a total ol 7.500,000 carats. Of this I
vast amount perhaps not 500,000 carats have |
been destroyed, as the destruction of a dia?
mond can only take place In a total loss at sea
or river. It ls, therefore, perfectly Intelligible
that of the vast amount of diamonds used annu?
ally In ornaments the greater portion are sim?
ply reset, and have existed for ages. Rich fami?
lies become poor, and their diamonds are
thrown on the market; dynasties fall, and
their diamonds go to the auctioneer's shop.
Within the last yenr (he Bonaparte family
ilone threw on the market ?250,000 wortb of |
ilamonds. When young Bomba of Naples
vas driven away by Garibaldi, in 1860-61, he
told over a million dollars' worth of diamonds.
In short, If, by some possibility, the whole
imount ot diamonds now existing could be
<ept in the owners' possession for one short
?rear, the scarcity of diamonds, owing to the
lemand of new purchasers, would run np the
price of brilliants to three times their present
value.
A great revolution In the demand for dia?
monds has taken place since 1850. The great
sold d'scoveries In California and Australia,
the immense accumulation and diffusion of I
wealth that baa tallowed the numerous newly
started industries, bas bad the effect of mak?
ing the diamond a popular possession and al?
most a necessity. Tn short, the comparatively
lew rich exclusive wearers and possessors of
diamonds before 1850 bas been augmented by j
the plebeian millions, or, where thirty years
ago only filly people in a community Indulged
In ihe ornamentation of diamonds, ten thou?
sand have risen, who, on a much smaller scale
(very true,) have taken to wear them.
Nature, too, ordained lt so that ot the dla- 1
monds found very few. comparatively, are of [
a fine while color. And It ls no doubt owing
lo ibis very fact that everybody ls anxious to
get a fine white diamond.
g|The Arizona diamond fever is, of course,
not developed yet. But suppose lt should be
a demonstrated fact; and suppose, further, ?,
the yield should resemble, not the Alrlcan dla- f1
mond in Ks general large size and off color,
but that of the Brazilian, small and good color,
and ibe yield should be 200,000 carats per an- j
num, the effect on the price ot fine diamonds
would not be very mnch. And here ls the
reason for it: an average pair ot 500 carats fine
Rio roogh diamonds, known as melage, con?
tains in lt stoner) from one-sixteenth carat up
lo three carats and four carats each, rough.
In such a parcel of 500 carats not more than
ten stones would be of four carats each. In
Tact, the parcel would be thus assorted:
Carats. | J
10 stones, 4 carato each, rough. 40
tostones, 3 carats each, rough. 30
50 s tune?. 2 carats each, rough.100
loo stones. 1 carat each, rough.100
teat averaging 1-16 to % carat tach.280
Total In the rough.300 ,
They will produce after they are cut:
Carats.
io stones, averaging 1 carats each.20
10 stones, averaging ix carats et.h. 15
50 stones, averaging l carat each. 50
loo stones, averaging X carat each. 62 y.
And of small mele.120
Total carats.26"x
On these only 180 to 190 carats would be
white, the rest, as uBual, would be off-colored.
Now, be lt remembered, that th? above given
diamonds are supposed to be a genuine par?
cel of fine Rio rough menage diamonds. Al
the best, therefore, if the Arizona yield
should turn out prolific enough lo bring to
the surface 200.000 carats of rough diamonds, '
and if (hey are as fine as the Rio diamonds,
the utmost of fine brilliants that could be ex?
pected from such a yield would only be
76,000 carats ot really fine white diamonds
jual about enough to supply the annual Lon?
don diamond-setting demand. The world is
certainly on the qui vive about these Arizona j
diamond discoveries, and the most important
speculation ls not only the quantity of the
yield, but the quality of ihe gems and their
average eize.

Delny for a few dav s caused many who wanted

regular price. Others living at a distance sent
thousands or dollars by mall and express, which
got hero after sales were closed, and had to be
