Mr.. EDIToR:--If'svariety is the very spice Of
life, this epistle may lay claim to some seasoning
But it shall not be more variable than the times
and seasons; for SO rapidly do they change, that
one can scarcely keep pace with the novelties
which are constantly appearing on the Stage, to
make us "laush or weep" for a moment ere
their exit. All of which, however, The Whig.
with its corps Of Reporters and Correspondents,
is enabled TO gather and present in nut shell
every week.
The weather is again piping hot, and its old
malady, the drought, appears to have returned
with incr, ased veor, since the rains oflast week,
which refre he'd the palched vegetation, tho at
heavy cost to some, where the hail storm
swept everything before it, with, as ii were, II
.besom of destrucIion." The rains have started
the plouohs that had been lying idle, and the
ground is now being rapidly furrowed up, pre-
paratory to the fall crop. Nor can they be a whit
to soon, for autumn is fast approaching; and
while write, the discordant chant Of the kafl-
did warns u5 that the season Of the oscar and
yellow leaf will soon be upon us. The morn
ingS. too, are enllvened with the sCngs Of the
golden winged wood-peckcr the lark, and the
robin, while gregarious birds are hocking to-
gether, as in the verna season, and singing their
farewell anthems, ere their departure for a more
genial cline.
The long talked of Camp Meeting at Glack-
ems woods, is to commence on Wednesday, the
3rl of September. and the "Grcnd Mass Meeting''
Of the S. of 7. in Coale's woods, which is hand
billed in every public place, to come off on the
9th of the same month, will be apt to interfere
with each other, as il is hut few miles between
the locations; and by travelling 3 miles further
toward Port we arrive at the ChGycl Hoods, 50
celebrated, recently, for its fine pic-ncs. So
yon perceive we are rich up here, in the way Of
woods; and have separate one consecrated to
every species OF devotion or amusement.
This last grove, however, brings US up to our
friend Lille ofthe PoNsriUe JournnI and as YOU
told who "Peter'' was very confdentally, sup
pose you'll have to tell in the same manner, who
your correspondent '.Look Our is. To reveal
his correspondents, shifts, perhaps, some Of the
responsibility and annoyance off of an Editors
shoulders, but then il comes down more heavily
on those of his reporters. For when Editors
and Correspondents are known at such places
their time is taken up in returning compliments
! WINS 'hN "SiCSdDiNs udH'iHS, NC. HIS at
counts for your correspondent, s.Peter'' giving
such beggarly account ofthe picnic; hrs time
was taken up in dancing with the pretty girls
and as he had bought cake enough when he
went on the "excursion;" to keep the young one
quiet, lverily believe he forgot the cold woman,
and being incog, had fair chance of faithfully
reporting all | was, however, thougAtes
enough ''to letthe cat OUT about P's stjollIfca
tom which might have run him in danger of;
Candle lecture.
But to return to Mr.. L. We Cecilians cam
| for the life ofus, understand how any one Ga
get riled at being reported as having played Nh
gallant al convivial party. We are widely VA
med for sociality, and large part of it consift
in talking to and about each other. The WhG
being our camera obscura we apply to il for(
sight ofal the pretty things that transpire in thu
county, and it being the fashion here-away, t(
tell on the beaux and bellies, when any of the
| fine looking gents come "o'er the Border tc
win smile from Cecil beauty, Ono triflng marl
ofdistinction,) he must bear in mind the stand
ing law of etquette-''when you 20 to Rome de
as Rome does.' LOOK OUT,
