The Chase.

The music of the huntsman's horn hoat'
inspiringly on the breeze these charming Au
tumn mornings, which, with "pack ol
bloods" in full cry, tempt the most sleepy
headed to engage in the chase. The season
for the sport is at hand, and right eagerly is
it embraced by its dovotees. No later than
Thursday morning, we saw the wreck of n
| fox that had "died game" after good race
of m hours length; and. throughout tho lis
trct, we learn the sport is fine and gcnc.al.
But it is of those who come under this latter
head that we have tale to unfold" or ra-
thcr many tails to count Tho truth of which
is amply vouchcI for By one who has spent
sixty years in our midst, and has been as
fond of the chase, as he is now Of "Gghtiug
his battles DER again;" splicing them, now
and then, with interesting "reminiscences and
racy anecdotes. But to our story: A few
nights ago two gentlemen, with eighteen or
twenty hounds, sounded their horn and trus-
ted their luck under an carl star. Soon the
game was scented and, after bold push of
the pack for three hours, the first fox was
caught The second was dumped" in q
short time after. a whipping race of two
hours, and he was handsomely "tailed. -
The third fox, while the "dcw on the grass
was shining" run a swift race of an hour, and
yielded up the hunters prize, as last re
sort" The fourth one was shot in the road
Just as day had clcvcrly escaped the "grcy
of the morning"
And this ends what should call tru-
ly hcart-rcnding occurrence" for the Roy
nard family; not forgetting, in the time OF it,
the tTnthfulaess of the tale, and the pleas
urablc excitement Of such chase!

in a field that had been twice gone over
4,262 pounds. Some tho hands picked355,

The Cashier valley Turnpike.

We have from time to time directed the at
tention of onr citizons to the importance of
this enterprise. At this and one or two 9TH
er points stock has been subscribed most lib
orally. We would suggest that a meeting
be held at Pendleton, at an early day, for the
purpose of obtaining stock. 1t is desirable
that the Company be organized at an early
day.
The road connecting Cashier Valley with
Qualla Town and beyond that point is under
contract, as we learn from Col. ELLISON. In
deed, he informs us that near ono half Of the
road is already complete
The completion of these roads must be of
mutual benefit to the points connected hence
the Importance of timely action. The region
above us, rich in agricultural and mineral re-
sources, will be developed by these roads.
Only the other day, Mr.. DAVIS exhibited to
us some fine copper specimens from jackson
county, N. G. These and other indication
show conclusively that rich minerals are en-
bedded in this section.

Gov. Hammond.

The EdSGcld AdVcniSer makes the fol-
lowing remarks on the position of Gov.
Hammond, which it contrasts with that of
Mr. Calhoun:
"The principles ofJohn c. Calhoun arc
nowadays the subject of much vague de-
clamation. Prominent among those prin-
ciples, stood the equal rights of the States
under strict construction of the Federal
compact. But next to these, in his great
heart, stood also an abiding devotion to a
constitutional Union. Who will deny this?
While battling for the rights of the States
against the inroads of fcentralization-
exposing the infringcmcnts of the Consti-
tuition with all the vehomence of his mighty
gcnius-when was it that he ever spoke of
a disruption of this confcderacy but as
coming evil? When was it, that he ever
laid aside the weapons of his strength and
dcspaired of the Republic? Z" Was not
his last wish, for a single hour upon the
floor ofthc Senate that he might still avert
the dangers which threatened the American
Union? Holding the rights of the States
as paramount to the perpctuity of that
Union, he yet laborcd to the last and pray
ed that hc might labor moro, to save both
the Union and the independence of the SOW
creigurios which compose it. Such was the
patriotism, such were the "actiye" princi-
plies of John q. Calhoun. And such are
the principles of his successor, James III.
Hammond. The dawn of better day has
chcerod the South, since our departed states
man stood forth the champion of her rights
and interests. The spell of his greatness
has had much to do with the breaking of
that dawn. Ifhe bore the ills of opprcs-
sion then, rather than counsel the last dire
resort of revolution, would he not bear them
now, when justice is climbing to the asccn-
dant? If he toiled on through the night
without fainting, would he have sunk be-
meath thc glow Of approaching sunlight
Where, then, we ask, would the "princi-
pies of John G. Calhoun place the states
man of to-day, if not in the very course of
manly exertion, within the Union, which
Senator Hammond wisely and boldly pro-
poses to pursue? There is something in
spring in seeing ourstatesmen fthe South
preparing to occupy political cmincnco
from which they intend to control the Gov
crnmcnt and vindicate the Constitution.
1t is worthy tho successors of Calhoun
1t is patriotism around which hope, and
genius, and faith, shed their congenial
beams"

FeYow. Citizens ot'the 5h Congressional, District,
In Withdrawing my name from the pres
cnt canvass for Congress, which / now do,
it is proper to give the reason for 30 doing.
In taking this course, desire to assure
you that it is not done without mature de.
liberation.
The impression has become general
throughout the Congressional District, that
the contest is between my opponents. 1t
is unnecessary for me to give the causes that
have led me to this impression. The fact
presents itself that | am in the contest with
out regard being had either to merit or
qualification, so far as ! am concerned. |
am not willing, or is it just to me, that |
continue the canvass under this state of
things. Then it becomes my duty to give
due notice to my friends, as they may have
a preference between my competitors. /
trust that your selection, guided by kind
and all-wise Providence, will rebound to
the honor and true glory of our beloved
State. No one but lie who knows the Sc
crets of all hearts, can appreciate the deep
gratitude that | feel to those kind friends
who have sustained and cheered me on in
the arduous contest.
To Greonyille, the home of my adoption,
the beloved Seneca OF my underworld roy-
iugs, have to say that | feel | have done
my duty faithfully and to the utmost of my
ability; that | have borne your standard
in the fight with all the energy and zeal
that possessed, and have not left the field
of battle until the last hope was gone. [
sincerely hope that | have done nothing to
h1 liz, I IL
Palmetto State; and in your future CON
tests, trust you will always find those
who are more worthy, more able and more
devoted to your best interests. In my opin-
ion, Greenvillc was, at this time, entitled
to the member as matter of courtesy, in
distributing the honors of our Congressional
District That she has not succeeded in
the effort, will, feel and believe, not be
attributed to any fault of mine, while |
may regret that she had not more worthy
champion.
| never have for moment doubted-or
dc now doubt-that Grecnvile would
give rue very large majority of her vote
Believe me, | do not or can | doubt it ;
she has sustained INC too long, and | love
her too well yes, too well to distrust her
and 1t cease to remember and love her.
and those who know to be true to me,
"may my right hand forget her cunning,
and my tongue cleaye to tho roof of my
MOUTH" and if tickle fortune should carry
me beyond her borders, or those of my own
Carolina, unhappy among strangers, like
the captive Jews at Babylon, my harp will
hang upon the willows, unstrung and dc
serted, and no song of Joy will ever be heard
from me. am, respectfully, &C.,

Examination of the Saver CAPTAIN.

BosroN, September 2S.--Capt, Town
send, of the slave brig Echo, was again be-
fore Commissioner Loring this forenoon.
His costume was as fashionably unexccp-
tionable, and his dcmcanor as gentlemianly,
as usual
Lieut. Charles G. Carpenter, of the Dol
phin, was first called upon, and testified that
he examined some of the ncgloes aboard
the Echo. They were marked with differ
ent letters, some on the arm and somo on
the back. The letters were about an inch
and half long; they were rough, badly
defined letters, and appeared in the form Of
scarification of the skin
Captain Alaflit, of the Dolphin, identified
a document headed "mnster ROLL" which
he found on the captains table, on board
the brig Echo, OH the 9th of August last
1t contained dozen names, probably those
of the crew of the Echo.
MIR. Prince, for the defendant, here sig
nitied that they should not raise the oucs-
tion ofjurisdiction before this Court.
His associate, Mr.. Train, said they did
not mean by this to assent to anything.
The Commissioner then stated that on
the evidence which had been presented, he
should certainly bind the defendant over to
the Circuit Court
A new complaint of misdemcanor under
the fourth section of the act of 1918, was
then preferred against Captain Townsend,
in connection with the previous charge
The reading and examination were waived,
and on this charge the defendant was or
dcrcd to recognize in $4,000 for his ap-
pcarance at the Circuit Court on the 10Th
October r-Bostoa Journa1.
