Dfi*cw, to called, of North Carolina, is one oYthe "carpetbaggers." lie describee himself and his Radical eollesguei upon the floor of Congress m " us carpet-bagger*." Tbie frank announcement was made to the evident dfcoomfiltire of the Radioal parlv, and to tbe intense amusement of the Democrat* upon the floor. The Republicans were plainly ill at ease with this an the first fruits of their Reconstruction Acts. Mr. De*?>ccs wan like a bull in a CI tna shop, (fc wan not content until he brought all the crockery down. The debate In which Mr. Dewees made tbie announcement may not prove uninstruetlve. The Bill had the mild nnmo of " a Bill to reduce the military peace establishment of the United States," In It , was a clause arming what wa? called the " loyal militia of thu South." The "evident design of the Radical party was to place arms under the oontrol of the Radical Governors and ear pet-baggers of the Southern States, to be used for the purpose of intimidation, and to control the election in the inte rests of that psrty. An was forcibly said : " The veil cannot be k^pt spread over this unholy scheme. It has been torn aside, and the audacity and the atrocity of the project stands revealed to the nation. It is nothing more nor lens than to distribute the arms of the United States over the ten Southern States, to place them in the hands ofnegroes and the adventurers who lead the negroes, and who will marshal them vn t*iecuon any tor t he purpose ot Keeping away Democratic voters." Tliis was the subject brought tinder discussion, when Mr. Dewees made his reronrknble announcement. Mr. Wnehburne, of Illinois, who has taken especial charge of General Grant, evidently had taken alarm at the recent demon*!rations at the South. He fait that the Republican party were there daily losing ground. ThelY deceptions I bad been detected and exposed. lie, therefore, fait rather lukewarm Afa-til the Bill. He was afraid tbe Republican party would be hoisted with their own petard. lie said : " The question is, and it is one of the greatest importance ever thrust upon us, whether that state of things (referring to Democratic supremacy) is to he remedied by sending arms into those States. Sir, 1 believe that inmost of the States, not ton days after those arms are sent there to the negroes, they will be in tbe hand9 of tbe rebels." Ilere was a frank acknowledgement by one of the leaders of the Republican party, of ttro important facts. First. *" That the very intent of the measure waa the arming of the negroes with a -- view id Republican success, and second, of hie realization that the negroes were fart being freed from the delusions into wbieb thw Radicals bete heretofore deluded them. Mr. Boyd en, of North Carolina, de flounced the whole measure as an inci tation to citil war and insurrection in thaaa States. IBs remarks are worthy of the consideration of the whole country. lie said : M Mr. Speaker, I am alarmed at the condition of the country. It is proposed now to send arms to North Ca? rolina that the people may use them agaiust each other, (ireat Gcd T w? cannot aftord to fight each other.

Is there not somo danger of the Republicans losing the election there unless they get arms! Mr. Dewees. There cerlainly is, if you allow the Democrats any show at all. The'Rill has not passed. Congress . has adjourned until the first Monday in September. But the debate is instructive. as an acknowledgement by the Ke> publican party that, notwithstanding their military despotism and white disfranchisement, they are in danger of losing the elections if the Democrats are allowed any show at all.

In the savannas of Izabuco, in Guiana, I saw the most wonderful, the most (er rihle spectacle that can be seen : and although it be not uncommon to the inhabitants, no traveler ever spoke of it. Wa were ten on horseback?two of them took the lead, in order to sound the passages, while I preferred to skirl the great forest. One of the blacks who formed the van guard, returned at full gallop, and Called to n.e. " Here sir, come and see serpents in a pile." He pointful to me something elevated in the middle of the savanna or swamp, which appeared like a bundle of arms. One of roy company then said, "this is oertainly one of the assemblages of serpents which heap themselves oo each other; after a violent tempest. I have beard of these but never saw any; let us proceed cautiously, and not go too near." When we were within twenty paces of it, the terror of our horses prevented our nearer approach, le which. however, none were inclined.

C.t Not quite a year ago, Mr. N. V7. Woodfin, the owner of the land* upon which the Factory i> situated, left this place to visit the Slate of New York. While there he made the acquaintance of Gov.. Horatio Seymour, the present President of the Cheese Factor* A??n. ciitiion of that Stale, who induced him to viwit many of the Cheese Factories there in successful operation. The flat tering results of that State caused Mr. Woodfin to seek out every information concerning it, with a view of in l endue* tiou to tlie people of Western North Carolina the subject of Cheese making, as n means of recuperating their lost fortunes and to change the production of ?their farms. The intelligent and practical mind of Mr. WoodHn saw at cnce that if Cheese Factories were profitable in New York, where graring lands are worth fiom *100 to 1(900 per acre, and labor much higher than in these mountains, it would be much more profitable in Wes tern North Carolina where equally as good grarng Ja'nd* can be bought at from $1 to $10 per acre, and labor much cheaper, while our climate and water, being cooler and purer than in New York, will enable us to produce a bet ter quality. Lie immediately induced Capl Edwards one of the best cheese makers in New York, and who was highly recommended by Gov. Seymour, to pay a visit to Buncomb and examine the country. In January last, Mr. Edwards came here took a survey of the country and pr.onounced it equal to New York for Cheese making. A company was immediately formed, Capl; Edwards was employed to superintend the Factory, and sent back to New York to procure the most complete and best machine.y. At that, lime there was not a tree cut,.from which nny par* of the present buildings were erected ; but the indefatigable en* ergv of the members of the Company in an incredibly short timo felled the buga fuiest tiees, erected suitable build? ? * ?-! miikic n KiM?u roau 01 iwo nines in Icng'.b, and by the tiine the machi nery ariived, on the 27tit day of April, everything wm ready to receive it. On the 28'.h of April 1868, (the day Hfter the machinery arrived) the first chiese was made at Elk Mountain, weighing 40 pounds, and is as fine an at tide of cheese as any made in any country.

There Are two sizes of Cheese made one siae weighing about 40 lbs. each the oilier from S to 12 lbs. The prices adopted by the Company are for the largest siae 20 cents per pound, for the smaller siae, by the single Cheese, 26 cents per pound, but where three or inore small ones are taken tbe price is reduced to the same as for the largest size. 4This price brings it within the reach of every one, and if the Company docs nothing more, it deserves the nni ted support of out people for having reduced the price of that article of food. The Factory employs fifteen hands. Of these, three are females; two as milkers only, and in the vat room. The male employees are engaged, between the morning hours, in various other duties on the farm. About fifty hogs are kept " fat and flourishing" upou the whey from the vaia. The Machinery was made by Messrs Williams, Half ic Co., Ulica, Oneida Co., N. Y. Thus, then, hi ten months after It ?"? -? lainigHt gi, ma MMIIIOMf DM been mode, in New York, end delivered in Buncombe County, N.

As an enterprise, for the general good, it cannot be over estimated. Already we see-iu influences permeating through every section of thnse Mountains.? Cheese Factories are to be established in other Counties, and with (hem will our farmers be encouraged to cbartgs their system of cultivation.

The Company is now ready to All all Orders. > Foroe of Imagination. A few years ago a celebrated physician, author of nn excellent work on i the force of imagination, being dot-irons | to add experimental to bis theoretical 1 knowledge, made application to the 1 Minister of Justice to be allowed an i opportunity of proving what he assert- 1 ed by au experiment on a criminal condemned Lo death. The Minister com plied with his request, and delivered over Iq him an assassin-s-a man who had been born of distinguished parents. The physician told him that several persons who had taken an interest in his family had obtained leave of the Minister that ho should suffer death in some other way than on the scaffold, to avoid the disgrace of a public execution, and that the easiest death lie could die would be blood letting. The criminal agreed to the proposal, and counted himself happy in being freed from the painful exhibition be would otherwise have been made of, and re| joiced at being thus enabled lo spate he feelings of his ftiends and family.? At the lime appointed the physician repaired to the prison, and the patient having been extended on a table, his eyes bound, and everything- being rendu, he ??? slightly pricked near the principal Veins of the leg* and arms with the point of a pin. At ihe four corners of the table were four little fountains, filled with water, from which issued small streams falling into the basins placed there to receive thorn.? The patient, thinking it was his blood that trickled into the basins, became weaker and weaker by degrees, and the remarks of the medical men in attendance in reference to the quality and appearance of the blood (made with that intention) increased the delosion, and be spoke more and more faintly until his voice was at length scarcely audible. The profound silence which reigned in the apartment, and the constant dropping of the fountain, had so extraordinary an effect upon the mind of the poor patient, thitt all his vital energies were soon gone, although before a very strong uian, and he died withont having lost a single drop of blood.

Wonderful Discovery.?The California correspondent of the Milwaukie Sentinel gives the following account of a wondeiful discovery which 1ms just been made in the State: A vein of Tery curious rock has recently been di-covered in Kl Dorado o ?l; I ?" vuuuij, which as yei i.iiiei 10 elicit from tlia scientifically inclined any satisfactory explanation. Several largo slabs have been taken out and are now on exhibition in this city. Its peculiaiiiy is that it represents landscape drawing wrought by (he ha?d of nntore tbotnantis of veers, perhaps, before the ad* vent of man upon this mundane sphere. Mountain scenery is here por* trayed on ineffaceable tablets by a peerless drawing master, representing, in variegated colors, bold nud rugged peaks rising one above another and de scending in long rolling ridgea of hilly country. llarren rocks, trees, and manzanita brush in profusion give vari? ety to the picturos, but nowhere is to be found that essential requisite to a complete sconic pictuie?a mountain stream. And here it would seem that thnt even so matchless an artist as nature has actually blundered. 'Another singularity of this rock is that the pic| ture extends through tho entire vein, so that, cut in nuy direction, it cannot be destroyed. The coloring of a dull, heavy character, consisting mainly ol grades of red, yellow and blark?seen at ^a little distance they resemble merely rude outilne pencil drawing.

If I see a child pull off the wings of an insect, or throw stones at the iondv or take pains to set his foot on a worm, I ara sure there i* something wrong about him, or that he has hot been well instructed. There was once a boy who loved to give pa<n to every thing lliHt came it* i?ia wny, ov??r which be could get any power.
