As we look to the N. and n. E. from
Moore's Knob, this strange spell breathes
upon the heart, and though there be no

comes and is felt. The vision is bounded
by the conical peaks, the noble undulations
and the broad blue bosom of the Ridge,
which hangs like majestic founce on the
curtain of the sky. There is very forest
OF elevations gradually decreasing in mag
nituGe from the top of the Ridge to the
plain beneath US, which from the circular
limit of the sight constitutes stupendous
amphitheatre whose seats are held by
mountains. As the eye starts from the
base of the knob, and slowly lifts its gaze,

lottler appearance-the truth of the souls

On every side there are objects of interest

Correspondence of the Spirit of the Age
SurrY White Sulphur Spring.

DEAR SIR: Yesterday left Mr.. 3. Ban
ner's neat hotel at Mt. Airy, and after
drive of about one hour through roman
tic country of ravines and valleys, arrl-
we'd at this place. This Spring has just
begun to become known to the travelling
public. It resembles the renowned White
Sulphur Spring in Greenbrier county, Va.
A white sediment remains at the bottom
of the cistern. This water is s,aahcientty
powerful for invalids. Mr.. VIM. L. Min
ter, the present gentlemanly proprietor, can
entertain about 35 visitors. Visitors can
get excellent rooms and attendance at Mt.
Airy, and visit these Springs daily. A
company of enterprising gentlemen have
lately purchased this property and they IN
tend to take immediate steps to erect 9th
er buildings here.
How inspiring this mountain breeze
how charming this mountain scenery y

We regret that circumstances have preyen-

alone been the cause of his absence.
We learn from our Grand Scribe, that in
many sections of the State, the Order is in
prosperous and thriving condition-that the
blessed influences of our cause are producing
happy results, and that its capacity for doing
good have not been weakened by time or i'm
pared by the opposition of our enemies Bu
we regret to have to add, that in other sec

prevails that is very diScouraging. And W

MoRGANToN,. July 10, 1855.

TO the Editor Of the 44ge Will Won
permit me, through your columns to give
the following notice of Rutherford SCHOOL,
This Academy is situated at Jones Grove,
probably the most healthy portion of the
State, and is under the control of a Board
OF Trustees, of whieA Dr. Ellis, who is
making preparation to locate himself i'm
that vicinity, is President. It has over
sixty students. The annual expenses Of
each student is from seventy to one hun
dred dollars, to which nothing need be ad-
ded except the expenses of clothing.
Rev. r. L. Abernatbys rrineissS.4, is Vs.
tient, energetic, IaooriouI; 2nS nl'ia,,, p,otad
to his duties than he has BEEN He is DONG
much for Western North Carolina, moral
ly and mentally. We have always found
him accurate and thoroughly informed in
the various sciences. His success in teach
ing and managing pupils is provcrbial here;
and he works with strength astonishing
to those who do not k9ow him. He is of
great originality of thoaght and suPerieri-
ty of mind; a preacher by nature; a teach
er by experience and wisdom, and good
man. This may strike some as fulsome
praise, but it the simple truth only
Rutherford Academy IS situated in the
eastern portion of Burke County, near the
Catawba river, ten miles from Morganton,
and ina beautifully picturesque country. 1t
takes within its scope the beautiful scenery
of the Table-Bock, and many other por-
tons of the North Carolina Highlands.
A new building is erecting, measuring six
ty by forty feet, and is TO be completed by
the commencement of the next session
which is the first Monday in September
The proprietors have, at great expense
and labor, put every thing in perfect orde
for the accommodation Of hundred o
} more students.
Reader, if you desire such School 70
your children, You can find it at Ruthcr
ford Academy, now under the manage
ment Of Rev. r. L. Alternately, prncipa
e Prof J. n. Baird, Tutor, with Tutore'
from Raleigh if needed.
To testimony like this, it need only b
T added, that it is written with hope of awi
! kening more general interest in th
e School, and to engage the attention of ii
II people who can matcrily assist in its pr
gress. TUTORE.

The consideration of this Report gave
rise to very interesting and animated
discussion NOT that there was any diver
sity of opinion on the matters reported on,
but, on the contrary, that all seemed anx-
ious to express their hearty approval Of the
sentiments contained, and their gratiica-
ton that something was therein proposed
by which they could go out and unitcdly
make war against the King curse of the
land, the nefarious liquor traffic. Such 3
spirit as was here manifested, gives hope
full earnest that agitation will be the watch
word, until the reasonable reform sough
after, shal! be consummated.

IN the cause of God and humanity.
We are pleased to learn from the Report of
the u. w. p, that the late session of the
Nat. Div. was harmonious meeting Of Broth
ers from all portions of our great ConSederacy,
united in common cause to free our country,
our whole country, from the baleful influence
of intemperance And your Committee can
not but express their qualification that the
too common custom of changing cur Consti-
tutions, was not continued at that session
Too much tinkering with and changing of our
fundamental rules and laws we are satisfied,
has operated to the injury of our Order.
We agree with the G.. W. P and the Nat
Div. that combination of all the Temperance
forces under one organizations, IS indSpensa-
bic to success; and we rejoice that AZ oar
people unite in the opinion that the Order Of
the Sons of Temperance is the best oFganiza-
tion for effecting our great moral reform.
Your Committee are sorry to learn that no
response has been given to the suggestions of
the last session of the Grand Division con-
cerning the collection of statistical informa-
ton. Wehope the ID. g. w. P.'s of she va
rious Divisions will give attention to the Cir
cular of the G. W. P. issued last spring, so
that reliable data may be acquired on the
points desired.
Your Committee cannot close this report,
without urging upon the members Of this G.
ID. to return to their respective Divisions in
fused with renewed zeal and an ardent deter
mination to do battle more determinedly for
the rescue of our fellows from the scourge of
intemperance, and the building up our glo-
rious Order.

Official Result of the Kansas Election.

Official Result Of the Kansas Election.
ST. LOUIS. Jan. 21.-The St Louis Democrat con-
ains the official returns of both elections in Kansas,
the signature of Gov. Denver. The results are
as follows:
For the constitution with slavery, 6l4s
For the constitution without slavery, $50
This was at the election on the 21st ordered by
the Lecompton Convention.
At the election the 4th of January all the free
State officers elected by average najorites of
415. In the senate there are Is "freeState men"
and democrats In the house there are 20 free.
State men, and 10 democrats
The majority against the constitution the 4th Of
January was 1926.
Frauds are alleged in the returns from Oxford,
Shawnee, and Kickapoo.
The election on the 18th January was ordered by
the black Republican Legislature.
The black Republican members of Congress held
a caucus in Washington on Friday night last, to ar.
range their plans in opposition to the admission Of
Kansas with the Lecompton Constitution. They
confident. it is stated that sufficient number Of
Democrats from the free States will go with them
defeat the measure. We will see.

JUST AND SENSIBLE OBsERvATIoNs.-That sterling
Democratic paper the Fayetteville Carozinian says:
The true Democracy of North Carolina are pre-
pared for all the difficulties which may be thrown
in their pathway. The Convention which assemblies
at Charlotte next April win no doubt make selec
ton giving satisfaction to the party generally, and
commanding its most cordial support. What though
old line wings and new line know-nothings join in
the cry for Leak or some other stray sheep from the
democratic fold, are to be at all intimdated by
this? Is not this course to be expected from the
opposition? Will any sound democrat be carried
away by the fawning of the enemy? Is it not a
fact that most il not all of those democrats who are
loud mouthed for distribution once belonged to the
opposition ranks, and were never mere than half.
circumcised it respects faith? Is it not plain
to be that the old leaven of whggery still exists
in their bosoms and controls their political lives
Surely our opponents cannot suppose that we are
so blind as not to these things. We feel conf
dent that our party will be triumphant under the
standard bearer which the Charlotte Convention may
appoint, to matter who he may be, and the more
the opposition Press strive to throw difficulties in
way the greater will be zeal and ardor in the
cause"

- Certain politicians, and Southern ones at
that in vain attempt to give force and dignity to
the distribution humbug, have declared that it is
more important to the Southern people than the
question of slavery. In other Southern State but
North-Carolina is this humbug at all on the wing;
and the man who should talk of distribution in Ala
bama, Georgia. Mississippi Texas or South Carolina
would be regarded as we'll nigh demented. The
great State of Alabama, for example, has moth
ing to say about distributions but so important and
paramount to all other considerations does she
consider the question of her Constitutional rights as
involved in the Kansas issue, that her Legislature
has unanimously authorized the Governor of the
sas shall be refused admission into the Union with
the Lecompton Constitution. The Montgomery
Adrertiser says:
1.-THE KANSAS REsoLUT1oNs-THE LEGISLATURE
EQUAL TO THE CRIs1s.-On Thursday, resolutions
passed both Houses of the Legislature unanimously.
authorizing the Governor to call convention of the
people of the State if Congress shall refuse the ad
mission of Kansas into the Union with the Lecomp-
ton ton Constitution. These are important resolutions
!ne most important. perhaps, that ever passed leg
lslatIve body in Alabama Ultimately, they may in.
volve nothing nor less than the dissolution oil
the Union. What is the idea and the purpose which
tney speak? 1t is that, in case Kansas is refused
aamssIon with the Lecompton Constitution, it will
then become the duty of the State of Alabama to
withdraw from the Confederacy. If the great
wrong is perpetrated, Convention will not be call.

of the Governor, entered the Office Of Mr. Ridgway,
of the Wing, and assaulted that gentleman with a
cane, on account of the course of that paper to-
wards Gov. Wise. Neither party was seriously in.
jured. The Richmond papers contain Cards from
these gentlemen giving an account of the difficulty
According to Mr.. Ridgway's account, he had the
best of it; and according to Mr.. Wise's account he
had the best of it. Mr. Ridgway afterwards proposed
that the two should 60 into room, be blindfolded,
then draw for pistols to be loaded and the other
empty, to place the muzzles at each others breasts
and at given word to fire. Mr.. Wise declined the
proposition, and there the matter rests.
