idont's Report.
H. P. Hammrt, President of th? Greenville
dad Colombia railroad, baa prepared
his Annual Report, and it la published to
tha Phmnix of the Mth April. It Is a wry
lear statement of tha eooditlon and affairs
of tha Road. Notwithstanding tha heavy
debt, there te reasoa to hope that tha Road
will, upon tha return *f better erope and
i?ore prosperous times, whieh la reasonably
to bO expected before tha end of this year,
again be able to meet tha interest on the
Bond% and ultimately to make soma return
td the Stockholders.
There are aonJ* creditors of the Road,
who may ruthlessly desire to press the
Company to the wall, and force a sale of
the ooneern, to the ruin alike of Stockholders
and Bondholders, and the immense damage
to the whole peopI#%f the State. The
State is a heavy endorser end large Stockholder,
and must loose heavily by any
aaoriSee of the Road. We think the designs
ef certain parties against tha Greenville and
Columbia Railroad, will yet be disappointed.
The State and people interested, will hard,
ly be foolish enough te permit the needless
destruction of so great an interest, and
ought anrely to prevent any scheme which
consults mere selfishness at the expense of
those who have labored long in fsith and
hope for the common good as well m for
their own interest and welfare.
Wa expect to publish the Report hereafter,
it was received too late for this week.
The Garrison.
We learn that the Garrieon at this place
will leave Greenville some time during this
week, removing to Anderson Court House,
the Post Headquarters of the Districts of
Anderson, Pickens and Greenville. In the
discharge of their duties, we have heard ot
no complaint, but, on the contrary, much
satisfaction expressed as to their deportment.
May Party.
Wc understand that the young ladies of
the Female College gave a party, in anticl.
pation of the first of May, on Saturday
last, in the lawn of Dr. Davis, near the De"
pot. They had a very pleasant time, we
leara, the young ladiee and young gentle,
men enjoying themselves linndsomely, and
in their gambols upon the hill aide found
re-creation and glee.
A table bountifully spread, heavily laden
with nice things and good, was placed at
the disposal of the guests, about the Meri
dian, for which their exercise gave them
zest. The Brass Band enlived the occasion
with music. It ia a great pleasure to aee
enjoyment, and our citizens should endeavor
to increase rather than diminish occasions
of this kind ; as, when the glories of
childhood and youth have departed, its
blissful visions can never more re-visit the
souk
May Day with the Colored People.
The first of May was observed ae a day
of recreation by the children of the colored
echool in Greenville. Thev formed ? ?r?.
cession in the morning at their school house,
which ia situated on Laurens Street, near
Oge mile from the Qo^rt House, and marched
down Falls Street and thence up Main to
the Camp of the Garrison, near the Spring
in the rear of the Female College, where
they spent the day. We were pleased to
see that they were kindly accompanied byMr.
J. M. Allkn, together with the ladies
who are now teaching the colored school,

and altogether orderly, some carrying boquels
of flowery presenting a very good
appenrence. In the afternoon, the procession
returned, inarching down by the Court
House, headed by a band of music, several
of their number having acquired some skill
in the ose of musical instruments. At night,
they had a supper and a dance in one of
the rooms of the building formerly
known as the Guodlett House, enjoying
themselves very well, so we learn from
some of them of whom we made enquiry.
Bi-Oovernor Brown's Speech.
Ex-Gov. Brown, of Georgia, delivered a
speech at Augusta, on the 27th, on the situation,
which was lengthy, and overwhelming
in its argument in favor oi accepting
the situation, and was quite worthy of him.
"We did either go out of the Union," says
he, "and the Government has a right to
denl with us as a conquered people ; or el?e
we did not secede, and we were rebels^ and
liable to be dealt, with aa rebels." Ilia view,

The X*and We Love.
This very interesting monthly, with its
title page and general typography greatly
improved, has been received for the month
of May. Its general contents are of excellent
interest, and embraces unpublished reports
of battles during the Confederacy.?
The " Haversack" is always, full, whieh is
never left unread. " Memorial Flowers,"
by Faxnv Downing, of North Carolina, is
exeeodingly beautiful, a poem, in fifteen
verses, in which flowery memorials are entwined
around the memories of Jackson,
Polk, Johnson and a number of others.
Thn Charleston papers report a fire whieh

property to the amount of $100,000. It

TBIP OVER THE BL0E RIDGE
Last week found us on the other eide of
the blue mountains. Our route from Green
ills was through Fickens, by Eastatoe and
Jacossee Valley. All the way from Greeu"
ville to the foot of the mountain, there appears
to be very little difference in the forwardness
of vegetation, or in farming operations.
Everywhere the farmers ecetn active
and industrious. Fences have been
repared, ground broken up, and corn planted.
We were beyond the cotton growing
?v^icn. None is raised for market in the
upper part of Pickens.
wheat crop, cobx and provisions.
Every* here the wheat prospect is, thus
unusually good, both on tikis and the
other aide of the mountains, and as far as
we could hear in Tennossee. We were in a
County of North Carolina adjoining that
State. Corn and provisions are plenty in
the upper part of Pickens, and still more
so beyond the mountains. At Webster, the
County seat of Jackson County, corn
sells at <6 cents per bushel. We heard some
persons say that there were neighborhoods
in the County where corn was worth only
fifty cents.
JoCAStKK.
This is the name of a creek, ill the upper
edge of Pickena, aud also of the valley
through which it runs. The valley is n.ir
row, aud runs between lofty mountains.?
The laud is productive, but Mot of the first
order of bottom. Jocaseee Creek is a t lib
utary of Keowee. At the foot of the
mountain the White Water unites with it.
The stream is clear as crystal and very pure,
and is used for drinking, by those living
near its banks, the same as spring or well
water. We staid a night at Mr. Daniel
Wuituirk's, who livei on the bank, in forty
feet of the water's edge. There is no bluff.
The nenrncsH of the sources of the stream,
and its swift current, prevent very high
water, although the ordinary currei t is
greater than Ueedy River, at this season,
when it is flush. Jocassee is a beautiful
name, we suppose of Cherokee Indian origin.
Many of their names terminate in te: n.?
Keowee, Tuckaiegee, Tennessee, and oilier*.
The Indians of the more southern ports of
North America, especially, spoke a beautiful
and euphonious language. We remember,
when a school-boy, that we were struck
with the similarity in the sound of many
Indian names to the Greek. No other people
in tho world spoke a language so sinii
lar in pronunciation, and differing wholly,
perhaps, in other particulars Toe Indian
always pronounced every syllable distinctly,
but emphasized strongly the last.
Jocassec has always been consiJer?<l a
romantic place. Its remoteness, its wild
scenery, and crystal stream. There is owe
nccomp inyment ip the lovely picture, that
reminds one of the fact that the place per
tains to mortal existence, whore
" Each pleasure hath its poiseu too,
And every sweet, a snare."
In the deep gorges and gl >omy hollows of
the mountains, whence flows the stream,
the mysterious milk sick poison is lurking,
and it is said there have been, at rare it*
tervals, fatal effects from it. Governor
Fhank Suit, formerly of Pickens, and who.
some of our readers will remember, (he
died Governor of Nebraska Territory,)
once lived a*year or two in Jocassec, but
we suppose its solitude was too trying for
himself and family.
whits water falls.
The'Whi^ Water flows from the summit
of the BludQlidge, and unites with the Jacossee
immediately at the abrapt termiaation
of the mountain. It well deserves the
name of While. There are a series of falls
tumbling from immense heights, and the
water is so broken and derated in the fall,
as to look like the "drivee snow." We endeavored
to find out the Indian name fur
the creek, but could not. Doubtless the
White Water is a mere translation of the
original Cherokee.
The White Side Mountain rlsee grandly
above the eurronnding range, on the west
of White Water falle. This mountain ie
conspicuous in elevation, even from Green!
ville.

The name of this val.e.v (it is moro prop 1
crly a mountain flat range, and no real valley)
we at firat fancied to be cither ot Indian
origin, or that it wns so called niter some
distinguished personage in old tra&tionnl
times; perhaps some wood nymph, in the
shape of a remarkable Indian girl, or
w-hile maiden of the early settlements, and ,
we supposed the name might be spslt likethe
fragrant Cassia. We were In regard to
it of " imagination all compact," never
dreaming that the serene upper valley
could be less poetical than the lower. We
had to tumble down to prose, at last, when
the Iruth came out. It seems that Cashier's
Valley is so called from an old hoise that
was once turned out to grass, up there, by
his Pickens owner, one McKisNkt; thnt in
the fall lie could not be found, but his own I
er afterwards discovered his bones, and n?
the horse was nsined Casnier, said McKixxtv

Oen. Hampton has a summer.house building

everywhere else where he is personally
known, we found that he is exceedingly pop

more or less of several summer seasons in
Cashier's Valley. We fouud also that this
had been a result for several families from

takes its rigs there. We were told there
were no fish in it above the fails, till a few

Webster is the County 8eat of Jackson
County, North Carolina, and was the ultima
tUul? of our travel over the mountains.
It is a small village, soma fifteen years of
age, had commenced thriving before the
war, but has not made auy progress of late.
It is prettily situated on the right bank of
the Tuckasegee River, which is there a considerable
stream, and a tributary of the
Tennessee. The water of the river is perfectly
olear, from its source onward. Web
ster is about 80 or 86 miles from Greenvilla,

said thera is a nearer route through Transylvania,
making it not more than seventy
mile#. They have a Court House and Jail,
but no ehnrohes as yet built in the vilisge.
Their effort to build was suspendsd by the
war.

We dill not see it with our own eyes, but

be no doubt that such a thing was found a
few years since, in the mountain* of Jackson.
A simple country man had obserred the snake,
for u ycur or two, every suuiuior, in a certain
quarter. It was so extraordinary thai he
would not bill it. At lust he caught it alive,
and took it about to several places on exhibition.
lie was of a very superstitious nature,
and after keeping the snake a short time, his

Oh ! these cold, horrid things ! I don't

Texas is a large country, and they say (I
mean the old settlers) that there is every
climate nu-1 soil out here.
I am glad we are out west, for it is easier
to live than at home. Anybody that will
work can get along. It one thing does not
do. another will; and you can support a
family easily if you manage right. First,
land is good ; cattle abundant; game like,
wise. Secondly, chickens thrive ; gardens
generally (not this year though) are early
and good. I might go on thirdly, fourthly,
fifthly and a xthly, but aa such discourses
are usually dry and uninteresting, I will
add only this head : the fruit of the present
season is a perfect nullity, all gone. But
genera:ly, / am told, figs, peaches, plutns
and pea**, grow to great perfection her*.
iVhile at Nacodoches, during Christmas
week, 1 saw a pie at a dinner party, made
of dried peaches, the nicest and sweetest
fruit I nearly ever eat, with custard pocred
over it, highly seasoned, snd baked together.
I mention thin, thinking some of
the Greenville house-keepers might like to
try it. I never met it before.
The cold weather must be over, or else
the wild geese are badly fooled. It is considered
a sign here, when they fly North,
that mild seasons are actling in. I don't

CtlANOKS of WAa.?The fcStlS^
doubts thai there will be a war between ' q^lBB
France and Prussia. There is no eoun?
try in Europe to which war, and, shore
all, a war of eren moderate length, such
as a war with Franoe would be sure to he
would prove so burdensome as to Prussia,
because in none would so little of
the fighting l>e done by professional
soldiers, and ao much by men drawn
auddenly from all the trades and professions.
Other nations hire to figbt;
in Pruseia the whole community may
be said to lay down its tools and go'to
the field; and no etateeman wbo hae to
arrest the social machine whenever he
mobilizes the army, would over think
of doing so with the recklessuees or
alacrity with which the Emperor Napo-*
leon or the Austrian Kaiser pours hie
forcee into foreign territory to fight for
a province or an idea. Prussia, though
one of the most warlike of the great
European States, hashed a more peaces
ful history than any of them. In feet,
from the foundation of the monarchy
to the present day, a period of 150
years, including the reign of great Frederick
and the wars of the French revolution,
she has enjoyed 125 years of peace.

The above little Catechisms are all from
the " Sunday school Board of the Southern
Baptist Convention, Greenville, 8. C."?
They seem to be well adapted to the end
for which they have been prepared. Hie
Baptists have been very fortunate in the
eUetlon of men to manage their affairs at
Greenville. They are men of zeal and energy,
of learning and piety, and witbal of
liberal minds and large hearts; Baptists, of
course, but not of that class of CnYlsttaus
who believe that no man will get to Heaven
who eannot pronounce their SkihkobtJk.
Their institution/, literary and theological,
and their Publication Board, ought to exert
a powerful influence on their denomination
in the South.?Jhx fwbyirri**.

the opening of the Hollywood
Cemetery Bazaar, in Richmond, for improving

beauty of tbe decorations of sach gave evidence
alike of the industry and taste of the
fair managers The Richmond papers, of
