Our Relations with ChinaThe National Iutelligencer, speaking o tlio report that the privilege has been ac corded by China to one of tno great powen of Europe, to have a resident Minister ai Pekin, says: 44 If that be the case, it strikes m that, if our Government thinks proper to Ik represented by a diplomatic agent at all, we should insist on his being accredited to the Supreme Government at the capital." We think the country at large will tako the same view of the subject. We have already extensive commercial relations with China; and foreign trade involves the necessity of Government representatives for its protection. It is a matter of tho highest importance to our commerce, as well as to the genereral interest of civilization, that our relations with China should bo placed upon a footing less humiliating and more useful than we have been conteut to occupy hith erto. It is rumored tint our Government has repelled the friendly invitation of the French and English Governments to join them in urging upon the Chinese Emperor the necessity end propriety of treating the Western Powers less ns inferiors, and more as equals, than he has done hitherto. To what extent these reports are true we are unable to sav. If we were invited to join England and France in waging war upon China, our Government has been wise if it has declined, We have, as yet, no cause of war with thai Empire, and wo certainly are not called upon tc espouse the quarrels of others. But if we were asked merely to join in an application for the establishment of more just and satisfactory relations, and to apply, in common with England and France, foi the privilege of having a resident Minister at Pekin, wo do not see the necessity or the wisdom of repelling the invitation. The object is ono of groat and acknowledged iin portance, and the manner of seeking its ac compIUhment is both peaceful and friendly ?Carolina Times. Tiie papers give ns information of Ex President Pierce's arrival in Philadelphia, it which city he designs making some stay foi the purpose of obtaining medical advice and attendance for Mrs. Pierce, whoso health i< feeble, with very slight hopes of recovery. Somehow, there seems to he a sort of fa tality about the Presidential oflioe?at leas there has been since 1810. Of the met elected to the office since that time, will the exception of the incumbent, Mr. J'ierct alone survives. General Harrison went within a month of his inauguration. Mr Polk journeyed homo to Tennessee with j shattered constitution, ami died within s year after his term had closed. Gen. Tav lor died before the first Congressional se.s sion of his administration had got fairlv t< work, and while clouds and darkness hurif over the political horizon, and Genera Pierce, as President elect, had his Fonly sot and last surviving child, crushed to death a! most in his presence ; and now that his tern is over, he is threatened with another and still deeper domestic alHiction. Prominence, popularity and exalted s?a tiou are not shields against sorrow?no in Htirance against the strokes of adversity, al though they may, perhaps, distract tin iniml from dwelling too intently on its pri vale griefs.

Smith Esq.. was re appointed Coroner for Greenville District at the last session of tbo Legislature. Hon. Robert J. Walker. There has perhaps been no appointment made by President Buchanan which has more fully justified the wisdom which chose him from amongst the peoplo, and placed h'm at the head of the Republic, or one mnrn n ?*...? .? 11 ? ~ a - al A J uui? uiiixiniiic nkbt;|jmuia iu 1(1(1 gwu hi1u true men throughout the Union, than that conferred on lion. Roukkt J. Walker, as Governor of Kansas. The eminent ability which has marked his long and faithful public services, his unspotted integrity, wisdom, prudence and firmness, aro the qualification . which points to hiin, as the man whoso ser. vices are needed at the peculiar juncture of affairs as they at present exist in the Territo ry of Kansas. It is lime that the Kansas agitation should cease, and peace, ccufi( deuce nud quiet be restored. It is to be , hoped that under the leadership nnd control of a wise, patriotic nnd able statesman, her borders may be tilled with a permanent ( and useful population, and such as will up. hold tho Constitution and support their Governor in tho faithful administration of tho laws. A Visit to the Mountains. During the past week it was made our i province to visit the Salnda Mountains ir. p the upper section of this District. Though ' tho weather was somewhat inclement, and nature wore a sonih-e hue, yet, as usual up. on the anticipated pleasure of wandering t through rich and varied mountain scenery, 1J our spirits became buoyant and our ears ea' to f'tlch again the murmur of waterfalls i and the rushing of cataracts. Steadily we ! pursue*! our way, now and Uien meeting i! with an Acquaintance or valued fiiend, and '' exchanging greetings pass on to observe the prosperity which has wrought such a pleas^ ing change in the brief period of a year. f At length wo reach the valley of North I Saluda. Far up toward its source the eye I ranges, and the neat lit'.le cottages standing * I out on the gently undulating hills ou either II side, tell to the passers-by that there com fort, thrift, peace and happiness, have an abode ; that in these quiet homes reside the men?the true, sturdy mountaineer?upon whom we may rely in every hour of danger? . who has a cordial welcome for a friend or - guest, and courage and determination to re1 pel a foe. j Further on we reach the residence of IIakvev Ci.uvei.ani), Esq , who is well and favor . | ably known to a large circle of friends and > acquaintances as a kind, intelligent and courteous gentleman. The location of his residence is an admirable ono, and stands in the rear of a beautiful grove of evergreens.? I i Alone the road, in a few hundred yards, are '1 several residences recently finished, and othi era in progress of construction. The buildl ' ing lota are laid oil" in fou r acres each, which r! it amnio for the purposes of rai-inir all no l a ? D i 'cessary vegetables for family use. We werb pleased to see our young friend, Dr.Tiiomas It. Wii.mvms comfortably anil j conveniently situated in a neat little ofiice, ; and were also glad to hear him favorably > spoken of by those wc chanced to meet. The families settling here, we understand, ' intend opening good schools. Mr. Clbtk. land will soon have around him quite a vilf lage. In addition to tho houses above men.! tinned, there are, besides, a good school^ house, church, store, and blacksmiths'shops The water is excellent, the location a healthy one, and easy of access front ail points ; and, 1 altovc all, rich and fertile lands are near by, - whose bounteous productions will sustain i. and gladden the inner man. There are no rear sons whatever why this place may not stand, "j. in a few years, to the District of Greenville . what Greenwood is to Abbeville?a village a for schools. It is certainly much belter t< o educate children, when they can he proper ly taught, in a country school, than in a towi l' or citv. In the one they breathe a free ant ? unpointed moral atmosphere; in the other >f vice is presented in nil its alluring form" and too often habits of extravagance am - prodigality fasLen upon them, which wreck their fortunes nnd blasts their prospects o success in any hoHorablo employment in at ter life. v An hour's drive brings us to the valley o Middle Saluda. It stietchcs far and wide and the river, clear as a crystal fountain kt winds, like silvery tracery, through greet ^ enameled banks, until it is lost to the eye ii ?r its meandering courso toward its destination tfc At thia point we enter the Jones' Gap Road so level nod firm that one would scarco sus r peel that it leads us across the ledge of rnoun tains which so beautifully looms up befor< tis. Socn, however, the hills appear to forn i behind and around ua. and we are reminder that the barriers, which seemed to he impassable, hare been overcome by the sagacity and well-directed efforts of a few energetic and patriotic citiaena, who, by forming themselves into a company, and, with the aid of money and labor, have built an excellent road, which has unlocked the vast resources of this mountain (and. The scenery along the road is lovely and variegated. The tnouniaiu streamlets ever ai.u anon are heard to dash over somo precipitous craig, or, in more subdued accents, the gentle cascade is heard and re-echoed in the vales below.? Soon we form a halt in front of the residence of Mr. Solomon Jonkb. W? are greeted with a hearty welcome, and at once an animated conversation is begun, lie tells us of the first settlement of this section of the District, of the origin of the names of various places and streams, of bear hunts, Ac. II? gave us a history of himself; said he l.-.l C l t , uuu no ues ior uociors nor lawyers ; nau raised a dozen children, and seveu of them had married and left him, yet ho had never paid a physician's bill, and had never given a lawyer a fee except in one instance, when he had been sued for opening a bridle way where his present excellent road now runs. The result of that suit is well known to many of the citizens of Greenville. Mr. Jones is a liberal minded man. Although the road just completed has been built at a heavy expenso to the stockholders, yet he is anxious to form a company to build another through Gap Creek over into North Carolina. The arguments in favor of the free school system introduced by Col. Memmingeii, in the last Legislature, he is in full possession of, and he speaks as a liberal Democrat and as a patriot. Justly may he re mark that there should be no distinctions in our country except those obtained by industry, honesty, and integiity of character.? The poor boy should not be inade to feel that he is inferior to the sons of the wealthy. Both classes should be educated together at . . ! the public expense, and should be earlv im I pressed with the important truth that the J surest guarantee of success in the various pursuits of life, is the use and reliance upon the resources which the God of Nature has ! placed within our grasp, and not upon the 1 adventitious circumstances of birth or for j tunc. After nightfall the full moon rose in the east, and flooded, with a silvery sheen of light, the mountain top and the vale. All nature scorned, as it were, calmed to rest, | and nought disturbed the deep stillness that j reigned around save the plaintive notes ol | the whip-'oor-will, or the gentle sighs of the J passing zephyr. Karly next morning we were en route with ^ a surveyor and chain carriers, and soon found , | ourselves amid.-t the wild fastnesses of the ' mountains. This part of our journey was j performed on foot, and with not a little perj sonal inconvenience and fatigue. As wo asj vended the mountain, the view became wider ! and wider, and the impediments in our way j the more frequent and diflicull to overcome, j Fall Creek falls was apparently over our I heads, and ready to send its pure and spaik' ling waters down upon us. Huge giant j rocks pecre<l their frowning tops high abov? the dill's that supported them. Here iiHturc has assumed her most rugged aspect, and | donned her roughest attire, forming a bold and distinct contrast to the more gentle cle vations which mark the prospect below and in the distance. The sun had shed his me i ridian splendor ere we turned onr wear) i st? ps down toe descent, and we remained j l>ut to partake of a good substantial dinner | and bid adieu to our mountain friends tc I return again to the monotonous and del j round of duties in tlie line which it has beer ' made our fortune to pursue. j Extiia Court.?His Honor Judge O'Nkali i lias ordered an Extra Court for Spartanburg | to begin on the third Monday in Angus: next. ,!

A committee, composed of the moat influential men in tho place, have been appointed to canvass the different wards in the oily, for the purpose of securing material sympathy in this martyrs' cause. Charleston has already liberally sub scribed towards the aid of Kansas, and it is hardly to ho surmised that she will now withhold her generous purse. Gen. Geo. P.

P. \Villis in conducting tho Home Journal, a sheet so uuiversally popular with tho ladies, has been stopping at tho Mills House for tho last fow days. 13y-tho-bye, I wonder if this same popularity was not at* I tribulablo to the knowledge that it was edited by two very haudsomo men, as well as to the softly shaded sentimentalsm that pervaded its columns. Gan. Morris is the author of many fine lyric productions, whose touching pathos has waked the chords in the breast of many a hardened specimen of humanity. Perhaps the poetical eflfusions of no man, since the time when Moore was in his hey-day, have been adapted to music to the same extent, aud have become so popular, as those of this gentleman. There are some strange moans that peo pie reso.i. ' v for tho purpose of making money, in this fast age. A professor in singing hero offers to teach children, as many as will come, for nothing, but sells each scholar a book, in w hich are the pieces to be taught, for fifty cents, and concludes I l y giving a concert, with tho children as ! performers, while ho pockets tho proceeds. | If this is not whipping the devil around the slump, I should like to know what this polite phrase would apply to. Critno still lingers around us, though th ire is quite a visible decrease in its catalogue. A policeman, while off duly, was I embroiled in n quarrel wiih a man named Coma, and was induced, l>y offensive language used by the latter, to strike him in the face, which he returned by striking the policeman in the eye with the point of an f umbrella. The umbrella penetrated the t brain, from the effects of which he died in a few days. The return ot the Coroner's jury was, that he came to his death by the hands of ConiA, who was acting in se f defence. Miss Emma Stanley has been giving eu tortainmenls for the last week at Hibernian Hall. Her pieces are styled, "The Seven Ages of Woman."
