After leaving the City by the Sea in the morning, and after a dusty day’s travel through the whole length of our State, the lofty mount**ius oi Trvon, Saluda and the Smoky rauge appear in sight. Tbe mind i* forthwith lifted from the work rind trials of every day life to a study of the works of creation and pro*idorce—the sublime and the beautiful. Some one has said, that ‘•Ood made the country and Man made the h*wn.” P*.* it so, but the mountains are a part of the country, and that is why the finger of God is so clesrly painted out in their exis tence. That Creator, who formed and fashioned for man’s enjoyment all this beauty. granduer b ai^d magnifi cence, and who reigns supreme in those ethena! mansions above—the maker of all—of man, of mountains, of earth, air and .kj! The ascent from Melrose to Saluda^ (said to be one of the steepest grades in the United States,) of 1000 feet in 3 miles, is accomplished by an addi tional engine attached, at Melrose, to the rear of the train, time engaged •bout three-quarters of an hour. And then you are on mountain top—in Land of the Sky. The Towns of Saluda, Flat Kock, Hendersonville, Arden, Skyland, and Biltmore (on about the same level) are passed, and then you arrive at Asheville, where after a little rest and 0 • o attention to the inner man, you sleep almost "the sleep that knows no wak ing.” After seeing the many lovely sights about this heal giving place, our journey continued to this point along the French Broad river; a shallow meadering stream, rolling continually over rocks, which the railroad, follow ing its edge closely, and the moun- tfcins on each side skelting down to it, crosses diagonally 9 times, and then once at right angles, when one of the party called out "Good-bye French Broad!” The curve made by the train being often so great, that the engine was lost to view in front and the rear coaches behind. And then the iron horee, being a* it were relieved from slow travel, struck out at a more last year. It does a jobbing business amounting $40,bOO annually.
