A Wild and Rugged Country?Tile Great Ciindnnati South cril Railroad- Hospital")- <d* Cinein natl Merchants- The Henut,ifid Hin? Grass?The High Bridge. Our last letter was written from Atlanta. We will therefore take tip from this point, and only give such matters connected with the trip of the Press Association as may I"- of inter est and profit to t he general render. .Many uf us may he familiar with the scenes mid objects of the limited ex ejjrsion 'which we art! about tu de jjcribo, hut it intisl be remembered that the majority of our renders are not blest with Urn opportunities of travel, mid a truthful iuhight into the manners and progress of the people surrounding us, and t lie distinguish iug characteristics of the country beyond our own iiarrow liinits, may be both interesting and instructive. From Atlanta to Chattanooga, be sides our special couches, Ciov. Simpson, (Jen. Ilagood, ami as many others as could bo accommodated, wore kindly tendered Senator ,loc Brown's elegant private cur. The country between Atlanta and Chat tanooga is pleasantly varied with bill and dale, mountain und valley. This section is thickly settled by white people, and. as is always the ease where the whiles do their own work, there are evident marks of prosper ily. In faet we lind in all our trav els that the iine between former shiv ery und white labor is the line lie I ween stagnation and progress. No injury has been greater t<> the South than the introduction among us. by the inouoy-'making Yankee, of the African slave. Its evil influence is felt and seen in more way* than one. It has fostered and encouraged amongst us a false and stupid would be a ristoeracy. and has degraded and almost destroyed the true dignity and nobility uf labor. On ibis point we could write a volume, but we j must hasten on, and probably we will j touch upon the matter again in an We arrived at Chattanooga about" '.} oeloek. und repaired to the cool and elegantly appointed Hotel on the lop of a gently sloping bill, from which the city appears in a level plain be low us. surrounded on all sides by mountain- and bills. Here we rest ed most delightfully lor the nigh', (lieu mi lit; of I iininuat i. the next little station at which wo proposed to stop for a lew days. There are man\ points of interest around Chat tanooga, connected with the recent war. Rui the foremost object which attraids the traveller, seeming alums) within stones Ihrow from the hotel, and yel over two mile- distant, is I Lockout .Mountain, which rears.its lofty summit in picturesque gran dour above the surrounding valley. We were anxious lo scale its heights, and enjoy a sight of the beautiful scenery which it commands, but lime forbid. The next morning at 7 o'clock we assembled at the depot In make a start fort incinn.-iti. li was natural for us to suppose as we emerged from the circle of Imme influence, ami near eil thegren! ecu tiM'W* bustle and eon fusion, where thousands were as sembled from every Stale in the Union, ami w here all were aglow with political excitement, that our attentions would cease and that we would lie as strangers in a strange laud. but to our surprise ami gratili- ! cation we were most agreeably disap pointed. At lire < 'hatlauoogn depot a clever, jovial, handsome little I'd low (and l>\ (he way a red hot Re publican) introduced himself to us in his easy, oil band manner, its .Mr. .1. < *. Blackburn, representative of i he Merchants Exchange and citizens who had been sent to meet the Press Association of South Carolina and sc" them safely across lo the ".Queen eily of thu West." And right well did he perform bista.sk. Thoroughly conversant with the frailties of hu man nature, he seemed determined, by the l ieh ami bountiful provision made, that no one should languish on (be way from hunger or thirst. Re- I sides thi>. when within 50 miles of I Cincinnati, we wore met by the out com in"; morning train by a delegti l ion til'merchants and other citizens. At Not wood, about halfway bo tween Chattanooga ami Cincinnati I be t rain stopped nliotil half an hour w here a sumptuous repast was await ing us, prepared for us by the man ngers of the great Cincinnati South ern Rrallway over which we were t ravelling. The varied scenes presented to the eye in passing over this great route, embracing the grand, the picturesque and the beautiful, cannot be properly depicted in u short letter. The pub lic will remember that this is a new route which lias just hccn opened within the past live or six months, the commemoration of which by the interchange of visits between the I merchants of Charleston and Cincin nati is fresh in our memory. This ronil was ticomplishcd by the most enormous expenditure of money and herculean labor, and in un incredibly short time, standing lo-dfty as a noble monument to the enterprise and public spirit of the people cd' Cincinnati. I'oi l ions of the country through which the road passes is the I wildest and ludst rugged we have j ever witnessed. At one inoihcm j the ears are whirled along the sides I of mountains, with yawning precipice Ion the one side, and towering mountain crest on the other; at another moment we are rattled over mountain rill, and while we are ad miring its beauty, suddenly envelop ed by the darkness of night, we liuxj that we are living through a moun tain, and thus alternately between mountain crag, rill and tennel. wu :ire wafted over K?steln Tennessee und a part of Kentucky. Nor is this country altogether barren. The narrow valleys are fertile and luxuri ant, and we have no doubt that these bold mountaineers are a happy and independent people. We say bold mountaineers, for we were handed one of the mountain papers at a secluded station, from which we saw the evidences of mountain pluck, whatever maV be Said of mountain dew. Passing from these scenes we come to the rich fields of Kentucky. Here we .-.aw with our own eyes the beauti ful lind far-famed blue grass section, covered with its green,'liehls of vege tation, and "its cattle upon a thous alid 'hills.*' A long this sec tion we are also brought into rather uncom fortable contact with the fields of hemp which constitutes uu impor tant product of this State, and is now ina growing condition. This is bey ond all doubt, including the section of the same State between Louisville and Nashville which we saw on our return trip, a most magnificent farm ing country, and all the farm houses, stone fences and lovely villas bear evidence of internal wealth. We now come to describe the great est prodigy of.mi tin its Hue we have ever witnessed either in this or any other line of our travels. We refer to the High Mridge over the Ken lucky llivor. This bridge is 2S(i feet high; and I 100 feet long, it is claimed to lie the-highest railroad bridge in the world. It is said that there is :i railroad bridge in Swit/.er land which was thought to lie higher, but, upon a careful measurement, it was found tobe several feet lower. To form a proper concept ion of its height, we have only to remember that the average height of mir church steeples are probably 100 feet. This bridge is 2XtS feet high. Imagine then for a moment the c ars running over ii river on an emii.eiiee of nearly three times the height of our church steeples, and Mint too on apparently slender legs. When we consider this bridge, and many others on the route of less magnitude, and the many mountains of solid rock which have been bored through for the opening of this great thoroughfare, we are losi in admiration for the genius which conceived and the pluck which consummated this gigantic- inter prise, which brings ( harleston and Cincinnati in close relationship, and opens the way for the unlimited de velopment of our Sunny South', if future enterprise will be in some tie j give commensurate. About S o'clock on Monday night we rolled into Cincinnati* and after n pleasant nights rest, bright and early (he next morning we went around to the splendid .Music Hall of Cincinnati to witness the opening of the great National Democratic Con vention. This was the lirst time on our trip that we ever 11 reamed or talked of politics, for our minds were engrossed on the way with scenes and and thoughts id'far greater interest and profit. In fact we breathed a purer atmosphere, and we all hearti ly enjoyed the short respite from politics and its coullicting vanities. The next day one of the most ele g.mt and Haltering receptions were tendered the South Carolina Press mi Highland Park by the merchants and other citi/.eus of Cincinnati. Hut we are getting ton lengthy for this issue, and must now come ton pause. An account cd' this reception, cd'the city of Cincinnati, of Music Hall and incidents of the Ihunocratic ('onven' tion. of our return by Mammoth Cave, and other general relied ion? must come in future notes. And w hen we finish, if wo mistake not, we think the reader, in comparing w hat has already been described with w hat is to come, will be ready lo exclaim I with the queen cd' Shcba when she .. ? - _,_ visited king Solomon^ "Behold! tho half was not told me." With this we close until our next issue. < > U It 110 YS AT CAMDEN. < AMDKx, S. (54 July, 21 1880. Hiditor Orunyclfft g Time*: The H.

We had visited the citizens of Camden before and got what we expected. Long may they wave; and may they get rid of Brooks is my wish.
