lCoRREsPoSDEyCE OF THE RICHMOND DAILY pIsPATcH !
ABINGDON, July "a, 1857
A few days ago I arrived here. after a pleasant
| Journey from Richmond with the exception of a
| little accident the Allegheny mountains. A
short time after We left the Montgomery White Sui
| plur Spring. in rounding one of those mountains
we ran into slide" 1t iarried considerably.
| can tell YOU and alarmed the ladies very much
| Fortunately none of the passengers injured
! The engine. however, was damaged to some extent
and thrown from the track. We had all to get out
And while waiting for the down train from Wythe-
| Vile. we amused ourselves in various ways in pic
| mic style. and enjoyed ii very much. The at
! last arrived. when we started for Wytheyile. and
arrived in Abingdon about Soclock The ride from
Lynchburg TO this part of the State is really de-
! ghtful at this SEASON Of the year. The scenery
| Is magnificent. and some of the views from the
cars really beautiful. Even the "iron horse al-
peared as If he were highly privileged in being al
lowed to puff and travel round such mountains AZ
the Allegheny and Blue Ridge.
1t il really refreshing after the heat and dust of
the city. to nhae the mountain air "a fresh and as
cool as We have it here At night il is cool enough
for blankets, &c. On Thursday last the Sabbath
schools here and in the neghborhood had grand
celebration at Emory and Henry College" In the
morning . large number of teachers and scholars
arrived from Bristol, Tenn, and Joined by the
scholars here. and then proceeded to the College
about 10 miles from town. where they spent de-
tightful day. Several appropriate and interesting
addresses were delivered. and number of pieces of
music were well and sweetly sung by the scho-
lars. Resolutions were then passed, thankings
President Mcdaniel and others for their kindness
in providing them accommodations. &c, for the
ride. and returned in the evening delighted with
their excursion.
The situation is healthy and beautiful. and lit
tie money would make it of the pretiest places
IN the state. They are at present also, building
the Martha Washington College" on the brow Of
a hill, overlooking Abingdon and the surrounding
country. When finished it will not only be an or
nament to the county. but the State Some are of
the opinion that smaller and less expensive build
ing would answer the purpose.
You. as well AS some of your readers, are aware
that Abingdon is quite place, and if any of our
city beaus are not victims of the tender passion
lust let them take the for these parts and
will guarantee that they give some experience
i'll that line in less than three days after their arr
val. Excuse this hurried scrawl. You will per

DEATH OF HON. A. p. BUTLER.

We regret to learn by the South Caro-
lima papers of the death of Judge Butler,
II. 6. Senator from that State. He died
ON Monday the 25th of May at Edgefeld
village. His disease was dropsy of the
abdomen. In this dispensation of Provi-
dence, South Carolina, as well as the whole
South, sustains an almost irreparable loss.
In common with the citizens of our sister
State we mourn the loss of a man who hon
ored his constituents in the councils of the
nation-one who knew our rights, and
knowing, dared maintain them-a man to
whom the whole South could look as q
faithful and trusty friend. Light rest the
sod upon, his honored remains-green be
the turf DER a statesman's grave, and may
his memory ever be revered by all true
Southrons.
But a short while ago the mOurnful in
telligence spread through the South that
the gallant Brooks was no more; and ere
the heartfelt grief caused by his death had
subsidized, we are again called on to mourn the
departure of his fatherly friend and kindred
shirt. the lamented Butler. Like Saul and
Jonathan, .sthcy were lovely and pleasant
in their lives, and in their death they were
not divided: they were swifter than eagles,
they were stronger than lions. How are
the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle!"

10Th MAY IN FAYETTEVILLE

The Lafayette Light Infantry (Capt.
J. II. Cook of Fayetteville celebrated the
Goth of Miey in a spirited manner, Judging
from the glowing description in the Fay
etteville papers. The Mecklenburg Decla-
ration was read by J. w. Baker, Jr., Esq,
and an Grafton delivered by Thos. c.. Full
Ter, Esq. After target exercise. the three
Companies the Independent, Cadets, and
Light Infantry, partook of Il splendid din
ner at the Fayetteville Hotel. We know
they had fine time. The Cd regular toast
was as follows:
"The Day we celebrate: The sun of Lib
erty rose in Mecklenburg on the Goth OF
May, 1875; he culninated at Philadelphia
on the 4th of July, l776. May the race OF
man never know his setting
There were several volunteer toasts-al
very good-we copy two:
By J. Waddill-
The signers of the Mecklcnburg decla-
ration and the members of the Lafayette
Light Infantry-may they happily meet at
the proper time"
BY Cadet j. II. Myrover-
"20th of Maya day whose crimson
sun shed its morning beams upon the tram
pied offspring of despotism and cast the
glories of its evening lustre upon the bridal
of maiden America with the genius OF
Liberty"
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1857-06-02

II Our "umquhile" neighbor of the
Fayetteville Argus took US to task, some
six weeks since, for saying that ''the men
in North Carolina who are now raising the
banner of American whiggery are the same
ones who shouted amen when the platform
was promulgated denouncing the whig
party as corrupt and unworthy of trust.'
The Argus then expressed the opinion that
it could {" Corner" US on that assertion.
We replied, citing the platform itself and
giving the true definition of the words used
therein, which we then commended and still
contend are susceptible of the meaning we
placed upon them.
The Argus of the Odd ult. again refers
to the discussion. We are not aware of
having dOdged the matter at issue, as the
Argus says. We quoted the language of
the l.now-nothing platform, where it plainly
insinuates that the wing party was guilty
of obnoxious acts" and violated pledges -
and accusing it of "elevating sectional hos
tility into a positive element of political
power We drew from such language As
this the proof to sustain our assertion, and
we are willing to re assert it and rely
upon the record to uphold the truthfulness
of the charge. The Argus must try its
hand again before in can get out of the
''cOrner."
