I couM not forbear stopping several times to gate upon this scone, spread out l-oforo mo und forming a-picturesque background to the scenery of tiio country. Tbo sun had already set when I armed at the village of Pendleton. Inquiring for my friend, I easily found his residence, was warmly welcomed and inado comfortable for tho night. Tho next evening, ' I sot out to view Port Iltll, the former reel- 1 donee of John C. Calhoun. It is still owned by his family, though ropo itedly advertised in ' tliu district papers to be sold for debt. The 1 last time (leneral.Cnnliy's order, ebstublhhing ' for the present a homestead law, just saved it from tho limnls of tho auctioneer, and now it 1 is supposed that it will remain in the posseslion of the family. Mr. Calhoun left a considerable property, bat tho eslato owning a J ' lirgc number of negroes, nnd n grent ainoant of money having hecn invested in Confederate bonds, little or nothing would have remained to those who bear his natno but for Uctiurul Canby's homestead law. In former times, I ' mn told, Mr. Calhoun's family woro accustom- 1 s I to receive inanv visit in, who onina from far anil near to view hi* residence, nnd were a'ways received and hospiiably entertained nt his table. ParlTHp* it is not generally known 1 that Mr. Culhoun left nt his death five sons ' nnd two daughters, ail grown up. Of these 1 only the eldest daughter is now living; four ions died of consumption within a short pi- ( viod of each other, cnc daughter o- fever and 1 the eldest son (then n middle-aged man) died during the war of apoplexy. The family resi- ' denro Is now the home of his widow nnd cliil- ' rlrcn. It is hut n neat and comfortable resi- ' donee, pleasantly embowered in treos, and 1 commanding a beautiful view of tho moun- ' tains. Around it lie large nnd fertile fields of ' meadow land, in a high state of cultivation, 1 (retelling along the banks of the Pence*. I 1 m told that Mr. Calhoun, during hi* lifetime, was nccitstoiued to superintend the culture of Ibis farm with the grcutest enro and interest. 1 Nenr tho dwelling house, and shaded by Lean- 1 tiful oaks, stands his Tirury and study, with a portico which command* mi extensive vim ! r>f the country. From the top of the liill on which the house stand* ono ran trace tiio wind- ' tngs ol the river for several miles. Several gentlemen's houses, all embowered in trees san he seen, from Fort Hill, to each belonging many hundreo acres of rich river land. These dwellings in former days were the summer ' residences of rich and aristocratic familiiS, ' generally from the low country. To each he- ' longcu so many 11:10 tinrses, carriages, anu sor- 1 v.mts, that living at a distance of aix or eight 1 miles from the greater part 6f tliuir neigh hois did not effect any isolation of tliu family hut 1 ?na rather an excuse foV keeping open house and enttrtnining visitors night and day. Now, 1 most of Iho families who Yetitain in \hcsc dwell- ' ings are almost isolated froth Others. It has become difficult for nil elasscs to make a subsistence. The cotton, which these planters ex- 1 pected to Tiring them from twenty to thirty cents per pound, only brings twelve and a half i to fifteen cents, and in many instances they hear up agninst an entire failure of crops. With debt and anxiety hanging ovor their heads, little disposition or ability remains for 1 gayety and visiting. I I suppose it will occasion astonishment to | hear that Mr. Calhoun's library was lately sold, with some other personal property, to satisfy debts, at about $250. Whole shelves of books were knocked down for from four to six dollars a ,lieIf. As I havo said, the sale of the house and land were then advertised to take place, and expected to follow that of the IIhiary and Inrniture within a short lime ; hut lien. Canity's order, reserving to every family a house and twenty acres of land, will for the present enalde this widowed lady and her children to retain their homo.
