as the hasi* of their action, numbering
some ton or twelve important articles of

expense, instead of a soiree of revenue ; in !
fact, it is now believed by many that the j

all the public domain lying within their Jim- j

system, which is but a continual source of [
evil, that require* almost mm much restraint j

no -additional disclosures to those about

to the country the statement would be alarm-1
ing if substantiated by this committee. W\

the matter, as iinpliTatingsonic of his ncrson-,

in their examination.
The Rivor and Ilarhor bill, as passed the
House, amounts of $2,500,000. Included in
the sum is 470.000 for Chariest im luuhor.
and for the Savannah liver %70,000, hoth ol'
which could only be secured bv the \ ielding j

MOONT Vf.RNOM ASSOCIATION.?It is
known that the ladies of the South nre mak-1
iug an earnest effort'to raise funds for the I
purchase of Mount Vernon the residence and
jesting place jpf Washington. They npj?eal
f>idy P? the generous impulses of tlic pntroitr.nil
so earnest and eloquent has been their
prayer for aid in their most laudable onter|>iiso,
that they have already collected a large
portion of the requisite amount.
The ladies of Kichinond have enlisted in '
<ke edirse and on Wednesday evening they j
organised an association, that is, adopted a !
constitution and elected officers, with a view j
to au effectual cosiperation with their coun- j
try women of the South. The facility and
success with which they went through the
routine of a public meeting, was admirable, j

not ungallant to suggest an objection to '
anything which woman sanction*, may we
not intimate, with njJ possible deference and !
]>olitenesA, that there wan something unu.su- (
nl and incongruous in th?> spectacle <>f public ^
meeting of Virginia ladies. The thing is
common at the north, where v 'omen of strong

but heretofore we believe the lau'.:es of the
South have thrown around their benevolent
*?x*ieties the delicate chatm of seclusion n?d

Yks, back again (o Greenville. Couldn't
stay away, and now that wo are once more
rightly at the helm, having brushed away
the dust of land tinvel, wo propose giving
you a sketch of what wT havo seen, liofore
we go to 6Cc(h) again. 1'aixlon us for doing
so?we prefer speaking of ourselves than of
others, finding the rule to work better, and
making for ourselves a latger list of'fiends.
One cannot ramble over the mountains of
our State without finding something to dissipate
the idea of monotony which wo may
have had previous to leaving. Although to
some the seeming slow ness with which one
passes over ihe country is tedious and tire- ^
some, we can, if wc wish, find ample means >
to make it pleasnut and agreeable. |
Knowing our farming friends, as well as
the merchants nnd others, to he interested in ;
the growing crops, we -carcfhlly inoptirod uf- j
ter the harvesting prospects in Anderson and I
rickstw Districts. In the former, although
we wore told that the ont crop was abundant,;
the corn was needing rain very much. In
fact, we noticed many fields of corn withering
for want of rain. In Pickens, the'corn
crop was very promising, and ueeding but
little or uo rain. Tiie health of the people
was generally good, yet the exccwive warm
weather, hitherto unprecedented in our
mountain country, had produced joiuo little
fever. Wo heard of no deaths from the cf
foeta of licnt.
Leaving Pendleton we proceeded up the j
Rabun <Jnp Railroad for someseveral miles.
After crossing Sen.v'a, and in fact until one
arrives at tho Mump House Mountain, the
country seems to be admirably adapted for ,
the purposes of a Ilail Road. It j Kisses
through a fertile and beautiful section of
country. In speaking to an elderly lady in |
. t .1 ? * ?
rrguru 10 uie roiui parsing .so near tier Home, i
and through the farm in which was then to!
be seen, as it were, an ocean of waving corn, !
she remarked that she "did not at all enre:
about having such a fast neighbor as the!
Iron Ilorse," and seemed to think that her,
hills of greeu grass were preferable to the,
mountains of red clay the}* were throwing
up in f.ont of her residence. We would not j
accuse her of being an old fogy, and altho' j
very inquisitive, of being a " down-ea-.-ter." ,
She had lived a long while at a gtyat dts-'
tance front the whistlings of an engine, and
preferred dying as she had lived?quietly.
The contracts frotn Anderson to the Tunnel
were, for the most part, taken, and sublet
into contracts of a mile, more or less. The
people on the line were quite sanguine of its
completion to the Tunnel in two years, and
Cars would lunfiom Anderson to that point
within that time. There in, at present, an '
insufficient forcp working ut the Tunnel to
complete that work by the time first supposed,
growing out of the fact thnt much of the ;
working force has been withdrawn to hnr i
vest the wheat and ont crops.
Leaving Pickens we passed over into Georgia.
In our route we had a view of the
beautiful Toccoa Falls so intimately known j
to many of our readers, and enshrined in !
much of the legendary history of our coun- j
try. To attempt a dcsciiption of them
would prove unsuccessful upon our part, but
in order that they be properly known and j
Depreciated, needs only to ,he seen.. From !
the t.'lls the romantic village of Chwkesville J
is reached at a distance of eleven miles.?
From thence beautiful mountains stretch out J
in undulating grandnesa towards the west, |
their tall summits reflecting the beauty of
the bright blue heavens above. The majestic
"l onah Mountain tuwera in xl?e distance, j
and the sweet Vale of Nacoocbee lavs onen I
to the view in nil it* beauty and loveliness.!
Entering the mining section of the 8tate,
wo met up with quite a " popper excitement."
The people all seemed to be niore
or lorn interested in U.'g discoveries being
made. The more jfrecious Ore of gold wna
being overlooked in the delving for copper.
Many who had left that portion of the cottntiA
few yearn ago to aei-k " homes and fortunes
* >n the gulden lands of California,
were returning to their old homes and to the
embrace* of tb"ir families and friends, seem
ing'content to live >"ith them again, prefering
an humble and happv home to the troubles,
privations and golden hopes of a ?sr-ofl'
and almost unknown and unsympathizing

RAIL ROAD CONVENTION.
| This body met in our village the last
week, a great number of the .{Stockholder*
were present, and it was with difficulty, that
our citizens could firtd acconimodnti<$tfr,-,fmtherti
all. Not having been present upoa.its
deliberations or fnrnwhed'with a repoHl of
[ its proceedings, we are unable to lay befoie
our rentiers much in regard to it. The iqost
important proposition before the Convention
was the amalgamation of the Lnuretis-and
Oreenvillc Roads, which was, we learn, rejected.
The snmo Directors have been retained,
with the exception of Dr. Thomas, of
Abbeville, who declined a re-election. Gen
James Oillam was elected to fill his plaod.
The free ticket system to editors was discontinued.
Well, we don't care. Sinco we
have been editing a newspajver, wo have not
travelled an)* upou the lioad, but should we
find time to ride we may now expect to pay
for it We have no doubt, but that thy
fraternity will fare as well?provided they
get their full price* for advertising. \V?
have not learned whether they are to discontinue
the free passage to ministers or not,'
i but presume tbc proscription was general.
1 An increase of fare on freight was spoken of.
but for the present considered impolitic. The
next meeting of the Stockholders is to be
held nt Abbeville C. II.

live, as much of his bmin was shot away.-^?
The cause* of this unfortunate suicide, we
lu?ve not sufficiently learned to positively state,
but this much we would repent of what .*?
have hrard. On Wednesday or Thursday
of last week, he promised himself that un
leas it should rain upon his crops- by Saturday
he would kill liiioeelf, and it not
having mined, it appears that he endeavored
to put Iris Awful threat into execiitiOh. We

CONCKBT AND TABLEAUX.
Mr. Editor p?As you were away when
the Tableaux and Concert came oft", it inay
! not be ami!* to notice them l?y way of amusement
and comment.
Mi?s IbiRN an, the South Carolina 44 Mocking
Ilird," ap|>eared once agnin before a!
large and res|)ectable audience of the citizens
of our town and vicinity, and delighted
every one with the rich melody of her voice.
Still, in my opinion, she line not improved
one particle, ami it would be a portrayal of
ignorance to compare her with Jcnnv Lind,
and a host of others. She is a sweet singer,
and her voice better adapted to the parlor
than the hall.
The Tableaux, with its shifting scenes, folft

crowed, and, from recent on dilt, we might
correctly infer nil were well pleased. The
' sccne^ selected were of a peculiar diameter,
und well calculated to excite the admiration
even of the most fastidious. It wonld be in
vnin to portray each scene, still a notice of
one or metre may and ought to suffice. The
one which caused our heart to swdl with
gratitude was the beautiful and patriotic representation
of (Jen. Marion inviting a Dritish
officer to dine.
Iu spite of one's self his mind would revert
to the time when such really took place,
and with the representation before him, he
could almost conjecture to liimsdf he bohelo
the patriotic group.
The young lodteonere bewitchiugly charming
and beautifu^a fine, what is real or

Slave B^ket " they appeared more lovely
than in a majority of the scenes. Frobably
