ROLLING A BOULDER DOWN THE SIERRA NEVADA
While on the summit Of the South Dome, we discov-
cred huge boulder of many tuns' weight standing
on the edge of precipitous slope, which extended
as near as we could see, down the valley beneath
This had been gradually undermined by the action of
the rains for countless ages until it totered on the
brink of the abyss. In all probability it would have
made its own way down the mountain in few years
more. L. with hisusual love of mischief and adven-
ture, proposed to dslocate it, and time it down to
the bottom-a distance not far from three thousand
feet With the aid of some limbs of trees, which
served as crowbars, we scraped the earth from be-
meath its outer edge, and after half an hours indus
trious efforts the keystone pryed out The mon
ser slowly rolled from its bed of centuries, and in
another moment was plunging down the mountain
side. ] shall never forget the terrific force with
which that boulder thundered down into the valley,
ploughing path through the earth bounding from
crag to crag, awakng the echoes for miles among the
surrounding submits. Large pines and cedars which
stood in its path were snapped off like pipe.stems.
It leaped like thunderbolt through dense clusters
of woods and we could see the tall tree.tops bow to
the right and left as the destroyer swept through
them. Presently it reached precpice, bounded off
into the air like India rubber ball. and fell into the
river below, throwing the water and mud high and
far, and actually making important change in the
course of the stream, which it partially blocked up.
There it remains forever fixture, and its course
down the mountain may one day serve to puzzle some
scientific geoogist with high forehead and gold spec
tacles, in his speculations upon cause and effect

WHAT A STRANGER THINKS OF
CHARLOTTE.

A correspondent of the Goldsborough
Tribune publishes an account in that paper
of visit to this town, from which we ex-
tract as follows:
''The town of Charlotte is quite brisk
place and has many large brick buildings,
some of them three and four stories high
The mercantile business seems to be profit
able, there being many fine store houses,
and the citizens generally appear to be very
temperate, social and kind. A stranger
can't help being pleased with them.
We found j. b. Kerr Esq, the proprietor
of the Charlotte Hotel, rather an elderly
looking gentleman, considerably over the
common size, who met US at the omnibus
door with smiling countenaace, and polite
ly escorted his newly arrived guest to the
entrance of his public mansion which is
located on Tryon Street, a very pleasant
portion of the town, and we must do the
landlord-his lady, and the house, the JUS
tice to say that we were more than pleased
with the kind attention, we'll furnished table
attentive servants, airy rooms, and, what is
not least, goodly number of intelligent
guests to help US partake of the substantials
and delicacies found upon the table.
A magnificent building, in one edge of
the town, near the railroad, is very hand
some and tasty female Seminary, nearly
completed. The Rev. Mr.. Burwell from
Hillsboro'. who enjoys a very high reputa-
ton as a successful instructor of youth, is
to open the Seminary on the 18th of next
month. This is pleasant and healthy loca-
ton for female Seminary, and easy of
access, as the the rail roads from eastern
North Carolina and South Carolina both
terminate at this point. We then visited
the large steam mill of Messrs Springs &
Farrow, where several hundred bushels of
wheat can be converted into flour in day,
and found the mill under the supervision of
Mr.. Farrow, who appears to be very ener
getic and affable gentleman.
We saw very handsome buggy estab-
lishment, where work in that line is ex-
ecuted in a very neat style. There is
also another establishment of the same kind
in the town, and both of them reflect much
credit upon the mechanical genius of our
State. can say, for myself that saw as
neat work in the one that visited as have
ever seen anywhere.
There are several manufacturing estab-
lishments in this section of the State
We had the pleasure of short interview
with Genl Young of the firm of Young &
Wriston, who granted us the privilege of
examining their Cassimeres, Jeans & Ker-
seys, manufactured by them at their Rock
Island Factory. The goods are of first
rate quality, and shows the conclusive fact,
that wooden goods can be manufactured in
our own State, to supply our own merchants
demands, without the trouble of going to
the north for them.

The news from Washington states that
the Admins tration is determined to en-
force the neutrality laws. and steps have
been taken for that purpose. In addition
to information having been received Of the
fitting out of three several expeditions, viz:
at New York, New Orleans and Mobile, for
the invasion of Nicaragua, under the lead
ership of General Walker, intelligence from
an official quarter has come to hand of an
other expedition, having its centre nearly,
if not altogether confined to Texas, for the
invasion of Mexico, and it is supposed for
the seizure of the State of Tamaulipas.
Gen. Sam. Houston is, by the reports re-
ceived. implicated as its leader.
The form of instructions was prepared
by Executive authority. and copies dis
patched to the various United States Mar
shals and District Attorneys on the sea-
board, as well as to the officers of the army
and navy, to use all lawful means at their
command to prevent such expeditions from
leaving the United States for the hostile in
vasion of any country with which we are
at peace; in other words, enjoining them to
strictly enforce the neutrality laws. At
present no proclamation will be issued.

HOW TO CONQUOA 11OAMON49k0.
A writer in the Washington States pro-
poses to settle the Mormon difficulty in the
following way, which, if it can be done, is
certainly the best yet suggested:
Utah should be divided into as many
portions as there are coterminus States and
Territories, and to each of these should be
annexed the portion of the divided terri
tory lying contiguous to it. The Territory
of Utah, as such, should be suppressed and
wiped from the map.
The Mormons will then have in no State
or Territorial Legislature more than very
innocuous minority, and they will never be
able to enact such laws, or cause them to
be administered so as to operate exclusively
against the "Gentiles." Mixing freely with
the people of other denominations, they
will soon become conscious of the inherent
vileness, shameless wickedness, and evil ten
dency of their doctrines, and gradually
abandon them.
Deprived of funds, their missionaries will
no longer be able to strengthen their ranks
with recruits, nor to spirit those that come
from Europe to join them, through the sea-
board States to the western plains, without
allowing them any communication with
our citizens. These unfortunate immigrants
do not discover the whole horror of their
position until they reach Utah, when it is
too late to retreat.
Their fellow-citizens will then be able to
settle among them without being harried
on account Of difference in religious be-
lief.
Polygamy will then be a criminal Of
fence, instead of sacred religious obliga-
ton, as it is now"
