We have been to the mountains nnd have Eisen their blue tops piercing the clouds; we have breathed tho pure air from oil' their BUmiults, but wo didn't find any "mountain dew." Perhaps that was because we did not look for it. Wo were in tho beautiful oily of Wal halla, with its broad and shaded streets, and wero particularly impressed with the location of tho court bouse in im mediate proximity to tho graveyard. As wo stood and looked from the court house over the graveyard and the grand mountain view beyond, with nothing to obstruct the view, it seemed as though we might have reached tho limits of the world. We*wore told that there was some mo'ro world over there, but pro fessed that wo had no desire at that moment of going through tho graveyard to roach it. Wo had the pleasure of me ding tho genial editor of the Keoweo Courier, an^weYe cordially and hospi tably entertained by the family of < x Jndgo Norton.

Wo'wOlO alsi at the live, and bustling town of Sanaoi, which ia located at the cro8Singof the l?!ue Ridge and Southern Railway-. The town is notsd for its healthy location and la the depot for some'large factories and mills. We feel indebted to some of the good citi zens for favor.", and will over remember their kindness. Our principle object in visiting Sennca wa3 to visit our brother, l'rof. L. S. MeSwaln, who has been critically ill, but WO trust, is now better. We made a flying visit to Clemson Culioge, eight milos from Senaea, and can only say in regard to it, "that tho half has not been told US.*' This insti tution, with its magnificent equipment cf material, hulldinga and professors, should be, and wo trust will be, of in calculable value to tho people of the State. In tho course of our trip we carefully inquired as to tho crops and find that the corn crop is very promising, and a good corn crop meano a good meat crop. It is thought tho cotton crop will bo ahmt an average one. 'Copious rains have fallen all over tho country, which will bo of great bonolit to all crops. William liryson was buried in tho cemetery at tho Presbyterian Church on the 18th inst. Ho was ono of our most worthy and reputable citizens and had maintained the confidence and res pect of tho wholo community through a lifo which was protracted far beyond the usual limit, for ho had reached tho age of about 85 yoars.

The liquor constables of Columbia last Saturday laid their impious hands on the sacred whiskey of tho Columbia OlUb. They went in ttnd took posses sion of tho ohoieo beycrago stored in the aristocratic club room just tho same, as if it had been plain plobian blind ti iror tangle foot. Such outrages as thoso cannot long be ondurcd. Tho idea of tho Reform ers passing a liquor lftw by which re spectacle city people must bo governed Is preposterous and far out of all rea son.' Tho respectable city people from tho first have given public, notico that they do not Intend to oboy' tho whiskoy law, and wo aro surprised that Governor F.vans has not heeded tho notlee. Governor Rvans ought before the sit ting of tho next Legislature tosond a delegation to confer with aristocratic outlaws and ascertain what laws .they will oboy, and thon rocommend tho passngo of tho same by tho noxt Legis lature. Tho idea of tho Roformurs trying to enact a law by which tho whole peo ple must bo governed is not to bo on tortained. Charleston has so long ruled tho Stato, that now tho illicit bar-kecpors havo coino to think that thoy aro bot t r than country gontlomon who may be olected to the Loglslaturo. A Char leston bar keopor no doubt turns up his noso a? that varloty of statesman Itnown as the '"Fhroe-for-a-Quartor Statesman." That expression no doubt rollcets tho sentiments of the people of Charleston in their ostimate of tho worth and charaotorof gontlemoi. who llvo outside tho city. But tho groat body of tho people of tho Stato scorn to bo impressed with tho idoa that thoy should rule, and wo would not bo surprised If thoy oxhlblt a disposition to requlro city peoplo to obey tho law just as tho dcoont coun try people do.--Abbovlllo ProBS and i lannori ??
