Mtmn KJitor*: In your very tnlUtoetlng Mtont of Abe Railroad meeting at A she UK you omitted to mention the kind f-eli*g end genorooe hospitality, with which the Greenville delegation were met everywhere, to going end returning from Ashe viUe. Tbie omission I now propose to comply, with brief incidents of trevel. Starting from OreenviUe ebont seven o'elook In the morning, with e fine lnneh for eight person*, besides other good thing*, we expected to stop of. tome cool shady eprlng, to the Belndo moontotne, met ourselves end home on hour or two, partake of the bodily oomforte we oerrled with na, _.j .... m i.. ?u\* vuua wvuu vur WBJ ww mo uiuo xuu^iv Bit arriving at Squire Goodwin's a littl* lifter twelve, he insisted that (he eompany should stop with him snd take dinner, promising not to deloy us more than one hour. Ae a foretaste of the good things in tore for us, hasut out some of tho juioe of the corn, extraoted ant* when there were no Assessors and Collectors of Internal Revenue. It hed a fine color, rich from ego, surpassed only by Its flsvor. All pertook of it. Baptists, Presbyterian-', Episcopalians, Methodists, and all pronounced it "good." Flue golden opplos of a most luscious lasts were also presented. Then dinner was announced, and such a dinner as ean only be served up in these hard times at a country gentleman's house ? What an indopendent man a rich, intelligent and thrifty farmer is, all over the world. Turkeys chickens, duoks, beef, mutton and hams, sre his stand by ; with fruits pies, dumplings, honey, cream and milk, cool from the spring house 1 Wc thought tiro Squire a most worthy and Gt representative of Greenville in tbo Legislature whilst partaking of his bounteous ho# pitality. The only regret w# had, was the absence of his young and accomplished wife, who was watching over the sick bed of hi? married daughter, in the neighborhood.? Dinner was over, snd whilst our horsce v?rA VtMncy nanl far nnr ninoa worn and a di?h of polittoe discussed. With that kindness which has always characterised the Squire, ho loaned us a doable boggy and a fine pair of molt* to aecetul the mountain and use on our road to Ashcvills. All regretted that he could not accompany ns on our railroad expedition, an he intended to do, but for the extreme illness of Lia daughter. The Poinsett Spring, celebrated for its cool water, at the foot of tho Saluda mountains was our next halting placo. The General said the water wan so cool and fine that we had better mix it to keep from hav ing a chill after satiating our thirst. And it was done. No one complained of any 11 effects afterwsrdn. JuH before night' we ascended the summit of the Blue Ridge, quickened our pace, and wore soon passing in eight of the beautiful country reaidonces about Flat Rock. Prominent among these, la Judge Ring's noble mansion, where, in former days, there woe dispo sed n princely hospitality. On the right and the left for miles along tho road, are to be con the houses of Mr. Frederick Rutledge, Dr. King, CoL Memmlnger.Mr. Barring, Mr. Treuholm, Mr. Lowndes, Mr. Johnson and many others, gentlemen of fortune, cultivation and great refinement, who lived in luxury ?ud wealth botore tho war, and who, with their fami. Ilea, composed as refined a society aa can be found in either of the Carolina*. Night came on just as we arrived at that prince of hosts, Judge Henry Farmer's. wuu ^ uu Dianumj; in 1110 piazza, owuiung our arrival, with a hearty welcome, and a Jolly laugb. You, Mr. liditor, have already described the delightful hotel at F?at Rock, Its scenery and inuiatcs, Jt it* known all ovtr this State, and has been Tiajted for the last twenty yearn, by persons of wealth and rsQncment, from Georgia, South Carolina. Alabaoil, Florida and NortA Carolina.? But you forgot to mention, that after a night's entertainment, the only charge made against the whole delegation, for all the trouble they gave, and all the good things they receivod, was that they should return there and spend another night as they cajiio back 1 We expected to have had the pleasure of friend Farmers company the next day to Aaheville. All calculated on it, and all were anticipating and saying how mu*U it would add to tho enjoyment of the drive. As a boon companion and wholcsonled gentleman, Mr. Farmer is about as well know* as his boardiag house, and about as highly appreciated, both by tho ladies and gentlemen of the Southern States. That night there was a serenade by the young gentlemen, with a baud ot music, from llendersonville. It was intended for the ladies, but ascertaining that the railroad delegation were in-doore, they determined to have a speech. The Colonel went out and excused his friends by saying, that they .11 ..j i i _ i i The ladies on our return iutiinatod that they were disappointed in not hearing a speech that night. How beautiful and lovely the next morning, looked the mountains and The eeeno presented the appearance of an ooean rising on the side of the distant mountains! We made a late etp.rt. for it waa hard to leave our friend behind, and break off from hie wit, humor and noeedotee. We nailed to pny our respects to Mr. Daniel Bleke, the friend and patron of rail roads and all other internal improvements. Ho subscribed tan thousand dollars to the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, and was for many years one of its directors. Mr. Blake feela a deep interest in the extension of this road over the mooutaiue, connecting t AebeviHe, with IheOreat Wast. His recaption of the delegation, waa most cordial, boepitabie and oheering. lie jnsieted on our taking inneh with him, and I am sure overj on* waa, as they afterwards expressed themselves, oh armed with the kind, hearty awl graceful entertainment, so pleasantly presided over by Mrs Uleke, One of Lhe iomptpy eotild hut r?m?rk, aft. r we h f I ?? il tbis beau life! and ptinoely esUbliehireot. how otueh refnomant, taste and ?nivatt6o, i add to tbog^afam in plaasttrca cf genuine hospitality* Before reaching Mr Blake's, we bad the pleasure of meeting our friend. Alexander Robertson, firqnire, who Intf eted on our stopping at hU residence and taking laneh with Ma TaAifty. It was our purpose to call there and see hi# l>entiUful and handsomely improved residence and groin a. and pay oor ranpec'a to my Utile friend Miaa 8n*, but wa passed the entrance and got far bo/ond before we discovered , oar mistake. R vu late in the evening, end we had to hurry on to roaeb Aslieville bjtlght, At tlila mountain village, said to be on the highest ground of soj town on the Atlantic elopo, we sojourned with Mr. Blair, who keeps the old Patton Hotel, famous In better times as the summer resort ot the Wealth end refinement of the Carolines and Georgia. Here we hod the pleasure of aeeiog and chatting over olden times, with Governor Vance, General Vane*. Jodge Mcrriman, Dr. Hardy, MontreviUe Patton, Judge Daily, Roy. Mr. Averhart. Robert M. Stotob, Esq., of the Aeheville News. Col. Raukln, and many other, friends. Terribly did thegood people of Aeheville eufTor'durlng the wer, and it will be long before they recover from ?heir losses. Bright and early in the morning Mr. Grady and myself took a walk over the town and noted the changes which forty-five years had made rinse oar school boy days, in that romantic village. It is pleasant to visit th* scenes of our youth, but far more pleasant to meat the friends of our childhood. You. Mr. Editor, hare given an account of the Railroad meeting, end T will not repeat what you have so well said. Saturday morning we took our departure after bid ding farewell to the many friends who came to see us leave We drove rapidly to Mr. BlAke'e, pawing over n plank road, whioli is greatly dilapidated and worn out iu ten years I The plank road, na a substitute for a railway, is a great humbug- The beautiful and most tasteful Episcopal Church, Ootlihj in its architecture, attracted our attention, near Mr. B'ake'e like everything else in the Southern States, it was seriously damaged by the war. Federal troops h?d occupied it, and their vandalism was seen in the broken glass in all the windows. It is now in charge of Mr. Averhart, an able and learned gentleman, who gratuitously renders his ministerial functions ? Another hearty welcome grouted us at Mr TvT n Vi.'j anil o 1 .?iml iful ? -- ?*-? spread before us, gracefully presided over by Ids charming daughters, whose kindness, cordiality, refinement and intelligence won all our bear's. On cur arrival at our friend Parmer'*, w? witnessed a ball play. The young gentlemen of Flat Uock had assembled in large numbers for s plav at cricket, in the prew enee of the ladiea of the Hotel and neighborhood. Their coats were off, and great zeal was manifested in the rport. Then gloves were produced, and boxing matches, ensued with some of the junlofe. 1 had the pleasure of meeting Col. Evans, the son of my much !ov^J and venerated friend, Judge, Evans Ho showed mo two or three of hie little grand children, great grand children of my friend the Judge. This made me think how old I w??. The next morning wo made an early start, and poasing the Bine llidge and Saluda Mountains, we arrived at Squire Goodwin's for dinner. Here our company reassembled, which had been increased by tbo accession of two interesting young ladies from Alabama, captured at Ash evil le, by Messrs. Oower and Donaldson.

There was peace and security for porson aud property in tho Southern States heforo thoso Acts were passod. Tharo waa also seeority of civil and legal tights to tho negroes.

Tho groat majority of voters in tho Sooth nro the nogroo*, with thoso who snstain the negro domination, but tho North will not allow this to continue. (Ion. Sicki.k* has violated, we think, tho plain meaning of the Acta of Congrexa, in l**u Ing hi* orders prohibiting Captalna of Militia from registering. The ooneoqaonco is, that some of tho rogieters extend tbo prohibition to all Militia officers; but tho Act of Congress prohibit* wone.
