will say, that what write would desire
to be read by the numerous friends and sub
scrlbers Of your ertensireiy circulated pa
per-especially by those III the eastern part
OF the State. Whether this be 8attering
yourselves or myself we will net discuss.
But to my subject, viz: Oar mountain
country in general, and the Back Mountain
Law School in particular. 1t Is a singular
fact and one much TO be regretted that tts
portion Of the State west Of the Blue Ridge
has so long remained unknown to aud unex-
plored by our Eastern friends. ard c0nse-
quentiy wholly unapprecisted by them. Why
is 1t that they will continue 10 visit North
ern Watering places and 60 to aihef States
to spend their summers, whe4 they can tnd
within the limits of their 0an State all thai
they can possibly enjoy in any utNer part ot
the country: We have here lofty mnun-
tains, fertile plains, intricate fnrcsts, and
beautiful streams and watertais-all that
can delight the eye and aaorj pleasure to
the mind. In fine we have climate aad
scenery unsurpassed BY any IN &e United
States.

also two tine watering places: The a.Phar
Springs possessing all the properties OF tie
White sulphur in Virginia, ahd the Warm
Springs with their Amazing health-iGyigor-

ure, from South Carolina and other Southern
States. What Is il then in the water at
White Salpher, Saratoga. Buffalo, &c, that
causes it to be more paatahle TO the tastes
Of North Car0liA!ans: Aud above all. We
have Kind and hospitab!e people, who will
extend to E!s!ters an opeaheartei, honest,
mountain welcome.
Its the boast OF its inhabitants that North
Carolina possesses the highest mountain East
Of the Mississippi. But with that pleasing
thought is connected the sad reflection that
upon its summit rests the body Gl It's reNeted
discoyerer. Placed there by the hand Of
science he sleeps upon k.s own death bed
the eternal sleep Of death.
