Going into western members room the other day, and seeing him with his coat offin the middle of the apartment, up to his middle in documents and speeches, and letters, laboring Justify with his frank ing pen, I alluded to his press of private business. 'sStranger," said he, Il never came to Congress before, and l never want to come again. l tell you, that this office of member of Congress is moi what it is cracked up to be. calculated to have had good time here this winter, after racing all over my district, and making more than five hundred stump speeches in order to get elected. But the fact is, you see the way enjoy myself. It is what I call having the cnjoyments horribly. Why, sir, l nevor began to work in this way before in my life. "Well sir" replied, 'the honors of the station undoubtedly compensate you for all your labors." 1.-The honors be burs- tcd-all wish is, that was out of the scrape." asked, "How comes on the loan bill in your branch 2" "Oh, they are spouting away, spouting away, sir, and here am fanking the speeches. The Lord only knows what is in them. "And the ten regiment bill P 'I know nothing about it, and don't want to Look at them are letters," pointing to two bushel bas- ket of private correspondence, "not one half of them answered: look at these spec. chess, not quarter of them franked What attention can give to loan bills and regiment bills ? Sir, l must attend to my constituents" And we left him to his labors. Our impression is. that il takes all day Saturday, and Sunday, too to bring up the franking and letter writing business ot the week, for the member seldom get out to church.-Cor. of Bosto' Courier.

The timbers for this tower were drawn up the mountain by oxen, although many pla- ces seem to present barriers not 10 be overcome. Upon this summit is a con- stant and strong breeze-air cooling, heal. ing and strengthening. On the north or northeast side of the mountain, we were shown where lightning had made dread- fnl havoc among the inanimate mass, rending it assunder and throwing immense pieces down the precipice. Really, it is a great curiosity--never have I seen one equal to it. There are a few trees and shrubbery on the rock in many places.- Why is this great curiosity not crowded daily with visitors? Fourteen hundred have been here this summer, and as ma- ny thousands would have been, if known they could be accommodated at the hotels -as good as you find any where. The climate is fine, and all things in order. ,

Great Curiosity i'm Georgia

There lies in De Kalb county, Georgia, fourteen miles below the town of Atlanta, a stone mountain, which is great natural curiosity, and yet very little known. A letter to the Charleston Courier, dated at Dalton. Georgia, July 18th, gives the following description oft:
 At tAe Depot We took hack, which carried us to the base of the mountain, where two hotels have been put up, one on the right, the other on the left--the former kept by MT. Cloud, the latter by Mir Johnson-wherc we stopped, took breakfast, and proceeded up the mountain, and every step increased our admiration and astonishment; about midway of the mountain is house, octagon in form, erected for resting place. and where visitors can be accommodated with refresh ments, ice creams, &c. From this point we were conducted along the track, made around the mountain by blasting the solid granite, the distance of 300 or 40 0 yards, hazardous undertaking here the moun- tain is almost perpendicular, and this track is 1000 feet from the base, and nearly as many from its summit. Banisters are placed on the Left, all the way round, to prevent persons falling over, and enabling them to take full view of the precipice below
 The undertaken of this project informed us he intended toprosecute the work, and cut out a room about its centre. To stand upon this track, which is about three feet wide, you have full view of the immense mass above, and fearful precipice below -gran.!eur and sublimity are seen at once, enough to strike the mind with wcnler and astonishment.
 This mountain is several miles in cir conference. Upon its sumit stands beau tifll tower TO feet high, which cost abou S3o00-yisitors pay 30 cents to go up
