Since my last ecimnunication to T.'iK Lki (;kk, your correspondent has gone on a marauding expedition up among the mountains and mines of the Mojave, (called by the natives Moharvy Desert./ and from thence to Avclon ileac-h. out on the beauti ful Island:; of Santa Catalina, the “gem of the s' a.’’ Having in mind the J of time allotted to thi too, the patience of will not therefore be of yore, to go into the various points will only give you a some—leaving the rest to be played upon by your imaginations, for I have found out by observation (not expe- nnts. but finding the night-winds 1 too cold and biting, I soon repaired to the stove of one of the clever house wives, where I remained till bed- ; time.

A night's ride over the S. P. brings us to Mojave, the nearest railroad station to Rundsburg, the great Cali fornia- mining camp. From here we take the Mojave stage over some of future’s most beautiful scenery, triiis drive winds iis among the pine forests, shadowed by the snowy peaks of the Kierras, where only the smoke, curling up from the mush room tents, dug-outs, and hodge podge shanties, shows thejsigns of liv ing beings—except when we meet an occasional “barn stormer” “busted” miner, or u train of wagons carrying rations to the camp. On almost every ledge which was partially clothed with stubby mesquite and sage brush, there were indications of placer and gold mining—judging from the num erous holes and the vast profusion of float quartz. As we were plodding along over the backbone of one of the highest ledges there loomed up towards the south the exulted Tehach- api mountains, with hot dark porphyry dikes and numerous patch es of red oxide of Iron and w hite lime stone, which gave a very marked pink color or haze to the then mellow light. To our right and left was Mt. Diablo and Ht. Elmo, from which “busted” miners reaped their reward from the “grass roots.” The most prominent mines in the neighborhood of Itandsburg are the Yucca Tree. Jilack Hawk, Monkey Wrench, the Minnehaha, and Dully Jloy, but there are others still which are peopled principally by lean coy otes and desert rats. While wander ing around the mountain trails, among the various clumps of hazel, madronos, chapore), tameraok, juni- per, and flame-colored maozanilu, (in my hunt for gold,) 1 entertained a fear of meeting a bear or some kind j of a “wild varmint,” since I hud with me only a pop-gun, but I learn ed later that more real and genuine danger was to be feared around the squalid cottages—Hie threshold of which you couldn't enter without coming in contact with an old foamy- mouthed razor-hack sow. with a lit ter of young pigs in the back-yard, or arousing the indignation of a broken- winged gander, protecting u squad ron of goslings in the front-yard. Hut, the description, like the sto ry, must end somewhere. To tell of all the beauties of the landscapes and vegetation, of all the signs of wild life in this solitude, of all the fair vistas and delicate colorings of sky and earth, would make the descrip tion as wearisome us the living reali ty is delightful. While strolling around among the camps and dingy shacks at Rands- burg, one could not fail to notice the awkwardness and greenness of the “greasers,” and the unusual amount of staring and gazing which the bun coes gave a stranger. One could ima gine that they were too green to draw a person into u poker or bunco game. After partaking of my portion of New England biscuits and umber- colored honey, corn-si arch pudding and loquuts for supper. J tried in vain to amuse myself by taking in the rounds at the camps, clubs and off Avalon Hay early one afternoon ! joined said party, principally for the recreation and amasein mt to lie de rived therefrom. The old fisherman, who served us as oarsman, arranged a tackle for each member of the par ty, however, and we set out for the desired deep water, which was about two miles from shore. Here anchor was thrown out and fishing began. Two of our party bad light-weight split bamboo rods with reels, while the third and myself only hud com bination lines. We had not let out more than oO feel of line till zip! zip 1! zee I!! went the reel of the youngest of the party (a lad of twelve,) and before the reel could bt- checked, fully one hundred feet more had gone (the reef in the mean time singing like that of a rat tlesnake.) The boy became quite excited and came very near getting sea-sick, but the slack was taken in us quickly us possible. When he was about fifty feet away he broke water where we all could see him. He then made another desperate effort and fifty feet more of line went like a flash. The next time he was drawn in, and he proved to be a bonito (an eleven pounder.) and a very game one too, as he put up a hard light before he would submit to being gaff ed. First one then another was kept busy pulling in fish of various kinds and sizes, till the attention of the crowd was arrested by the sing of the reel oil the rod of a New Yorker. The reel whirled off over two hundred feet of line in hand-fulls and yards before the hoarse cry of the leather brake brought him to a check. At this moment u fish, seemingly as large us a man, broke water at the line’s ex tension. Finding the pulling of the boat more than be had contracted for, he rushed in a semi-circle to the right, jerking our boat around as on a pivot. Thence he came towards the bout faster than the reelrnun could take up the slack. When he fiad gotten in about fifty feet of the boat he seemed to take in the situation, and then made another break and a i dash in u circle around the boat, and i had it not been for the skilful manip ulation of the oarsman he would have completely wound us up. For fifteen minutes ho fought manfully, and was very gamy, and it was nip and tuck us to which was going to gain the was about to begin when the Ashman exclaimed in rather harsh tones. “Let ’er down. It is only the niblm of a little in.tckeral.’ I thought he would do well to attend to his own business. 1 also felt how funny it would fee! should I raise up and give him a punch away-np-in-thc brains, but seeing lie was in jest. I let down, though J was brim full of wrath and cabbage. A few minutes later my arm again took “.St. Vitas dance,” and after a fifteen or twenty minutes fignt. 1 succeeded in hauling in the contents—this time having three nice ones—though they were smaller than the first. Wo were all, for the most part, kept busy the whole time we were out, and we returned to Catalina in the even ing with our boat full of sea and rock bass, bonitoes. rock cod, smelt and yellowtail. As the result of my af ternoon’s outing, 1 hauled in twelve fine ones, varying from eight to twen ty-three pounds—this being’ my re cord catch. The hunting of wild goats back among the mountains of Catalina af- i fords considerable sport to the hunts- ' men who sojourn at Catalina Islands, but j'our correspondent had no expe rience in goat hunting. I had the pleasure, however, to see by chance, a small herd standing on the rocky peaks as W'e rowed around the blulls of Avalon Bay, but they were too far away to hear the "wind blow through their whiskers.” , One of the chief and special attrac- tions of Catalina is that of a glass- bottomed boat. The boat is so fashioned that un oblong magnifying glass window is set in the bottom of same, so that the spectators in the boat cun see the “wonders of the deep” beneath us, as we glide along. This is the finest study of natural history I ever experienced. Down through this window into the “gar den of the sea.” one can see u con glomerated mass of sea-weed, moss, and living beings of all sizes, ages and colors. Here a beautiful fish darts into view, and then u sea ur chin, with needle-like spines, dashes across his wake. Here are star and f stand them.

July If.—<)uite a crowd from Pea-ridge came over to our mn- j gistrate’s court last Friday. Among j \ them was our old army comrade, \V. > ! H. Sanders, of Kelton. “Hill was as | good a soldier as was in Lee’s army. | He,is just as full of life and fun novz ’ as he was then. A book of his say- 1 ings and doings would equal, if not | surpass Major Jones’ Georgia scenes. At one time during the war he got “tight,” and by some means got hold of a rat. Capt. McKissick was lec turing him with all the pomposity he could < jhitnand, for getting tight “Vo near the enemy, when a fight was momentarily expected. “Bill” stood and quietly listened until the Cap tain finished, and then putting out his rat held it up by the tail and said, ' now Captain, tell us what you think of rats.” Rev. Mr. Thomason began a series of meetings at Abingdon creek last Friday. Misses Bonnie McClunoy and Walter McKown with J. C. Jeffe ries and Frank McCluney, were ap pointed us delegates to represent Ab’ngdon Creek Sunday School, at the County Convention, at Fnion, August J'rd and 4th. Just at litis writing we are having dry weather, and crops are needing ruin badly. In answering our word puzzle one party in this section, made tfOo words out of the word “enthusiastic,” using no letter more times than it is used in that word. Mr. Joe Carter, of Hantuc, is visit ing friends and relatives in this sec tion. The colored odd-fellows have a meeting at their hall, near Sunny- side on I he dl st instant. When a black snake takes posses sion of the smoke-house, locks and watch-dogs are no longer needed. Flaw you don't understand it— perhaps it was bloomers instead of breeches that woman was wearing. Mr. John Estes, one of our oldest and best onion raisers, says they ought to be gathered into piles and let lie in the sun all day, and then be taken up in the evening, dried and hung up in a dry place, in small bunches, five to ten in a bunch, ac cording to size, and they will keep all right. Bmoke houses are gener ally too damp for them, he says.

Will say bv way of conclusion, that Bryan created quite a sensation in California, and his speeches have made a wonderful and lasting im pression. He was hailed everywhere as “our next president,” and the people all along the line, in their ea- supremacy. Ashe began to tire he | gerness to see him, even climbed upon was drawn nearer the boat, whereup on he took his revenge by splashing water all over the whole crowd. He was soon brought close enough for the oarsman to slip the steel guff through his gills, and then he lifted him in. Ho was a sea bass of fifty-two pounds, and the largest fish I ever saw caught with a Took. The crowd had not got more than quieted till one gave such a tre mendous bite that he came very near jerking the line out of my hand. Judging from the hard jerks he made, I came to the con clusion that he was at least a hundred pounder, whereupon I seized the line with both hands and exerted all my strength. He jerked so man fully that he kept my arms going in circles and all directions, similar to a man with “8t. Vitas dance.” My line was let out four hundred feet, (this being the depth of the water here,) and whenever he would make a slack in the line I made good use of the opportunity by drawing in. He made a fine play and a gamy fight while in the deep water, but when he had made his departure from among the “wonders of the deep,” he like myself, began to tire. The oarsman remarked that he must he a big one, as I sat myself down fiat in the boat and made the line whit over the side os 1 pulled him in with main the tops of the houses, and it is said that there remains neither an un- staunch barn nor a rickety wagon- shed along Bryan’s wake to tell story. At present, there are supposed to be at least sixty thousand visiting delegates of the Christian Endeavor in central and southern California.

What has become of the Cherokee County Fair? Home one was talking about it some time ago. We ought to have one this fall, if the weather is at all practicable. But i suppose that the lateness of the season is against it now. It Is certainly a source of great sat isfaction to see the unanimity with himself, whicn our people are working for the advancement of our new county. While everybody, of course, was not in favor of it at first, yet there is no further kicking, but ail are apparent ly working in their different spheres for its good. A vessel has been procured which ’ it is hoped will answer for a fiat at Howell s ferry, until a more com plete one, can be built. It was used for the purpose of shipping lumber and oilier freights down the river to Something to Know. It may be worth something to know that the very best medicine for restoring the tired out nervous sys tem to a healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centres in the stomach, gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids these organs in throwing off impurities in the blopd. Electric Bitters improve the appetite, aids di gestion, and is pronounced by those who have tried it as the very best blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try It.

The Headlight is rather rough on those boys for roasting that terrapin alive, yet it is correct. I don’t know that under our law. the terrapin would properly come under the head of “brute creation,” yet it is one nevertheless, and so far as we know', is perfectly harmless. It is wicked to submit it to so cruel a death, to say the least of it. Cruelty in a hoy becomes a dangerous vice in a man, and it is well for him to remember the scriptural teaching—“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” The Children’s day at Salem comes on the day of the County campaign meeting at Gaffney, 29th instant. We regret this, hut arrangements can’t well ho changed now. The edi tor and every correspondent, reader, or friend of TTik Lkimkk is invited to be there, and a cordial welcome awaits you. No man ever lived, or will live, with higher aims than General Stone wall Jackson had. When at West I'oint he adopted as his motto: “You may be whatever you resolve to be.” As soon as he joined the church he added to this motto: “J cau do all things through Christ which at rength- encth me.” Would to God that all our young men would adopt such resolution, and carry them out as lie did. He was, in youth, left a poor, penniless, orphan boy, yet his service in the Confederate army alone, of but little more than two years, has filled two continents with his fame. It is an interesting coincident that the Mr. McLean, in whose house at Appomattox. Ya., Generals Lee and Grant met and arranged the terms of Gen. Lee’s surrender, was also the owner of the house on Bull Run creek in which Gen. Beauregard had his headquarters during the "First Manassas” br.tlle. Mrs. W. (i. Austell, of Gaffney, vis ited the family of Mr. R. E. Kerr, last Saturday. Miss Minnie Kerr, who has been staying with her aunt, Mrs. Austell, came home with her. On the 2<)ch of June Mr. Ga/. Wright had a “homing” or carrier pigeon to come to his house during a gale. On its feet were two metal hands, ou one of which was the num ber itfyjg. It remained until the 27th when it left and has not been seen or heard of since. Hon. C. W. Whisonant, one of our representatives in the legislature, has made a regular field hand this year. Bully for him ! Township supervisor P. R. Webber came down to Howell’s ferry last Fri day to see about the arrangements for crossing there, and also to inspect the public roads. Mr. John P. White, of Yorkville, passed here on his wheel last Friday, on his way home, from Gaffney. It is an undeniable fact that Chero kee county is full of historic interest. Besides Colonel Williams I learn that two private soldiers who were killed at King's Mountain, or died from wounds received there, are buried on the John Mintz plantation, near the mouth of Buffalo. It’s a shame that the l’. 8. Government has not long since marked their graves with a suit able monument to the memory oi these heroes. A study of the Revo lutionary history of our country is about to bring to light the fact that Colonel Williams, the hero of King’s Mountain, is the great grand father of Mrs. George D. Wallace, F. S. A., who husband was killed at Wounded Knee, N. Dakota, about seven years ago. while fighting the indians. Our churches have too many sleep ers and not enough pillows in them to put them in proper work order. Sometimes we fly off at right angles and hurt somebody's feelings. It’s human to err—it’s divine to forgive.” But if the shoes fit you put them on and go shod, for a pound of con science is worth a ton of explanation. J. L. s. Lockhart Items. (Correspondence of The ledger.) Lockhart, July I'd.—Mrs. Homo has a peculiar way of finding fault in her man of sorrows, and, acquainted with grief. These attacks come on her, or she attacks me periodically towards the shank of each week, and the good old soul begins to sermonize your scribe somewhat thusly:—“Ben I know I’d write for Tub Leikikr. It’s such a good paper and you ought to consider it an honor to be allowed to write for it, considering it’s so nice. You know how eager you are to see what ‘Rufus,’ the neplus ul tra and the epluribus unuin of your correspondents, has to say in his quaint and instructive way.
