Cheeks Cross Roads to Cumberland GAP.
bv the common highway, was but forty
miles, it was impossible to find line short
Of SIXTY aniles In length; and this involved
the necessity of tunnelling and bridging to
such an extent, with such grades and sharp
curves, that the route was PROMPTLY pro-
nounced inepracticable, and no written re-
port was deemed necessary to be made by
the engineers. These facts have in a letter
from one Of the party engaged in thesurvey.
They are well known in kentucky and at
Cincinnati, and in the latter place am sure
that that the gentlemen who procured the
passage of the charter through tho Ken
lucky Legislature, have no idea of passing
the Cumberland Mountains at the Cumber.
land Gap, but expect to meet the Knox
vile and Kentucky Road, after passine
Wheelers or the Big Greek Gap, at the Ken
lucky State line. I write thus positively.
because, am fully advised, and for the
reason that I deem it proper to prevent,
as far as I can, the creation of a false senti-
ment in your State as to what is contempla-
ted in Tennessee and Kentucky, with refer
ence to this enterprise, so vast in its conse
4uences, not only to the people of those
oIaCSo, Dut also " Cue southwestern and
Western country.
So far as the efforts of the Spartan arc
to be employed in defeating the application
OF the Blue Ridge Company to the Legisla-
ture of your State for aid, imagine very
little will be accomplished. Tie time has
PASSED to say to the Legislature that the
great commercial channel between Charles
ton and the Northwest should not be located
as has been done by the Blue Ridge Compa-
ny. The location has already been recog-
'e.sed nd approved by the South Carolina
Legislature, duringi is session of 1852, and
since, as l understand, by the official acts of
Gov. Manning, in his message and other
wise. After all this, certainly the Spartan,
having due regard to the honor of the State,
as involved in its adherence to position
once taken, and we'll taken, would not ad-
wise that all which has been done by the
city Of Charleston and your Legislature,
shall not only 60 for nought, but be repudi-
ated as indiscreet and unworthy of the State.
1t occurs to a a'distant, but close observer, of
your people, that Sonth Carolinans "are not

The Babv.

Q, yes, take the baby along by all means.
Babies love dearly to ride in cars aud tod
die about in steamboats,. Whv. the babv
is the life of the party. We have known =

one, hour after hour. Sleeping or waI;nSy.
the pretty little creature that can Iisu l;ttIr,
English or French, one can hardly tell which.
is the universal delight, and many party
has been stupid just for the want Of one.
In old times, when they used to journey
in stages, lady who had a sweet little child
with her could scarcely call it her own tho
whole way, the gentlemen were go fond Of
carrying, keeping it. Why, the bachelors
loved to play with and dandle her on their
knees, though at first they might be little
bashfuls and awkward in taking hold of the
strange andunaccustomed thing. But the
smile and winning ways of the baby were
always irresistible, and sure to overcome at
last the most obstinate bachelor. Pcoplo
love babies as they do flowers. Gentlemen
especially, who are fond of flowers, like ba-
bles, tho sweetest of them all, to carry in
their hands, just as they would put carna-
ton in their button-holes.
low babies and butterflies do swarm in
summer, to be sure! It is then thew ara
on the wing. Pray, don't try to keep them
from flying about and ghtins here and
there when something strikes their fancv-
opening and shutting their hands.and WINGS
awhile, then fitting away again. Ye, that
have babies! don't 90 anywhere without
them. Better leave your purse behind #
will be less missed. The light Of your eyes
will bo quenched, and your tongue will miss
its inspiration. What a literally everlasting
topic is the babya She does this, she did
that. Baby laughed in her sleep. Her
mother does believe it was because she saw
something which one so lately from the
skies could only behold. Baby can say
this word, and hides away sometimes from
her mamma, though all but her nose and
eyes are in plain sight.
Ye, who have no baby! get the lawful
ownership of one as soon as possible. You
don't know what a fountain of puro felicity
it is. She isthe light and Joy Of the whole
house. The sweet little creature is tie
brightest jewel in your cabinet and orna-
mental to your drawing-room the choicest
garland in your garden the most inexliausti-
bic source Of entertaining company. THERE'S
no solitude where ababy is. Care and trouble
disappear at the approach of the happy,
laughing little cherub. She is chloroform
to your anxieties and exhiarating gas to
your pleasures. We adopt the style Of ad-
vice OF a money-loving father to his son,
with change Of word or two" Procure
baby, friend-honestly, of course, but at
any rate be sure and get one." A graceful
vine she will be to you in youth, which will
support you in the infirmitises Of age.-INey-
