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

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.

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

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

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.

of this road over the mooutaiue, connecting

to call there and see hi# l>entiUful and
handsomely improved residence and

and got far bo/ond before we discovered ,

end we had to hurry on to roaeb Aslieville

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

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. TVe

Oeneral Sickles end Governor Orr.
Gov. obk is right in saying that General
8icki.es' Order No. 10, is a wiso thing and
is approved by the poople, bat Goners!
8ient.es is tery far wrong in saying that
tho Military Acts woro noeessary to keep
tbo peace. 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.
The Legislature of South Carolina,
lost yoar, fhlly secured their equality before
tho Inw?fully equal to the white man. The
Congressional Reconstruction Aota were, thoroforo,
only intended to aoouro tho go rem men t
of the South to tho nogroo* ; m anoh tho parent
and bout men of the North revolt against
them. Tho qunation in not reconstruction or
no rcoonatruetiou, but whether the wbllo nan
of tho Sooth ahall be governed by 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. Surely, surely, Oonoral Canst
will rererse this groat wrong, and yet give
ail Militia officer*, not otherwise prevented,
the opportunity of registering and voting, if
they desire.
