crest of lofty ridge for several miles, passing
by the handsome residence of Capt. BRISTOL
among others, and then descends somewhat
abruptly to the Tusquitta creek. We find this
creek bordcred on both sides with fine farms
for several miles, until we reach the farm and
house of Col. Johnson, where we proposed to
speed the night. But our spirits rather fell
when we noticed that his spacious piazza was
full to overfowing. But the generous hospi-
tality of his amiable wife and accomplished
daughters soon made us fell that we were at
home. We met there Judge c., from Fayette-
vile, N. c., vino had exchanged with the Judge
of this circuit-Solicitor H., from Asheville,
and several other younger lawyers who prac-
ticed here. Judge G. was very afable and
agreeable, and was enjoying the sports of the
field quite as much as the labors of the court
room. He had killed fine deer and huge
rattlesnake the day before, and was ba'sily ar
ranging for the next days hunt.
Col. Johnson's residence is in the midst of
famous hunting and fishing grounds, and we
know Of no place where summer could be
spent more pleasantly. A fine farm, lovely
scenery, luscious fruit, plenty of hunting and
trout fishing, and charming family. The
next morning we left this most comfortable
residence, and after some three or four miles
driveEup the valley, we commenced the ascent
of the Tusquitta Mountain, which doomed up
to Tondrous height. The road, however, is
we'll graded, and winds and twists and zigzags
along fearful gorges hundreds of feet below you,
and across spurs for full four miles before you
reach the summit; and then you turn and look
South and Westward, and you have another OF
these panoramic views so lovely and grand to
behold, but so impossible to describe. The
Flora of this mountain would always attract
attention, from the largest and loftiest timber
trees down to the tiniest flowers, which lined
the road at every step.
We cross the sharp ridge Of the summit, de-
scend rapidly among grand trees and Luxurious
vegetation, for one or two miles, and then ar
rive at what we had long been anxious to see,
the Nahantihala river, 80 celebrated and TO-
nowned for the abundance, size and flavor OF
it's speckled trout The stream was about one
hundred feet in width, 30 clear, that you could
see, from one bank to the other, the smallest
pebble or fsh-rapid, boiling and foaming
among the rocks and shoals, but so elevated
that water in the hottest days of August is cold
enough without ice The trout, these large
fat, speckled trout, 30 sought after in every di-
rection, by sportsmen and epicures, 30 plenty,
so tame, that we fear to write how we enjoyed
them during our brief visit. Indeed, this NV
er, its game and fish, and enyironing scenery,
its peculiar elevation, being trough between
two mountains, cannot be treated at the end Of
this letter. y.

Rev. Edward R. Miles.

This gentleman, it is announced, has acccp-
ted the Rcctorship of Trinity Church, Abbc-
vile, and will entire upon his pastoral duties
at the beginning of next year. Mr.. Miles has
supplied Grace Church, in this place, during
the past year, and has resided in our midst-at
the same time preaching twice a month to the
Church at Ncwberry. We sincerely regret to
learn that he has decided to remove from An
derson, as he is a gentleman Of ripe attainments
and elevated Christian character. We presume
that wider field of ministerial labor is offered,
and we earnestly invoke the favor and blessing
of the Divine Master upon his future efforts.

The Circuit Court.

The criminal business ended on Thursday
last, when the sentences were pronounced, and
the Court of General Sessions was adjourned.
We will publish the sentences next week. The
civil business has been progressing rather slow
BY, and yet his Honor begins early each day
and works late The examination of witnesses
and speeches of the lawyers have consumed
much time, but we suppose that parties to
these litigated cases are better satisfied with
fall Investigation of their respective claims.
The burden Of expense falls principally upon
their shoulders, and the public generally have
no cause of complaint, except in the matter OF
paying jurors.
Yesterday, the suit against the Air Line
Railroad was before the Court. Gen. S. Nc
Gowan and Hon. A. Burt appeared for the
town and county of Anderson, and Hon. D.
T. Corbin on behalf of the Railroad. The
case came up on a petition by the Attorney
General for permission to bring all action
against the Air Line Railroad Company in
South Carolina to forfeit their charter for va
rious reasons, but principally for their persist.
ent refusal to locate their road to some point
on the Savannah river by Anderson G. II.
Many grounds of forfeiture of charter were
alleged, but it is believed those growing out OF
their erroneous location of the Road were prin-
cipally relied upon. Mr. Corbin appeared and
showed cause against the granting of the mo-
tion to institute suit and Messrs. MCGOWAN
and Burt appeared for the Attorney General,
representing the people Of the State, and espe-
cially those of the town and county of Ander-
son. After argument, Judge Orr granted the
motion to institute proceedings.

Care of Live Stock.

Care should be taken to keep up
the condition of live stock Of every
kind, so as to bring them through
the Winter and early Spring months
successfully. Horses and working
oxen require additional care and an
increase of food to strengthen them
for the heavy work which ia now
at hand. Breeding animals of every
kind should be kindly and gem
erously treated and kept separate
from other stock. When brood
mares are under fed and overworked
the rest Of such treatment will be
seen in their progency. II strong,
healthy, thrifty young stock of any
kind are required their dams must
be properly cared for, and well fed
during CESSATION.
The most successful breeders of
stock take extraordinary care of their
breeding animals, and none but such
as are best adapted for this purpose.
Breeding ewes and young lambs re-
quire great care at this season.
When suffering from costivencss, oc-
casioncd by dry heating food, sows
sometimes deyOur their oiTsprings
this evil may be prevented by soft,
cooling food. Provender of every
kind should be prepared in the most
economical way, so that it will be
effective without waste. Hay, straw
and corn-stalk, should be chopped
and steamed, roots sliced or pulpcd,
and corn, oats, and barley, ground Oh
crushed. Cooked food is very val.
liable in some instances.

A Great Farmers Baxims.

! The successful life Of Jacob Strawn,
| the prince of American farmers, is at
tributed to the close observance Of the
following maxims, originated by him
self:
When you wake up do not roll over,
but roll out. 1t will give you time to
ditch all your sloughs, break them,
harrow them and sow with timothy
and red clover. One bushel of clover
to two bushels of timothy is enough.
Make your fence high, light and
strong, SO that it will keep cattle and
pigs out.
If you have a bush, make your lots
secure and keep your hogs from the
cattle, for ifthe corn is kept clean, they
will eat it better than II is not.
BE sure to get your hands to bed by
I o'clock; they will rise early by force
Of circumstances. Pay a hand, il he
is a poor hand, all you promise him
if he is a good one, pay him o little
more it will encourage him to do still
better.
Always feed poor hands as well as
you do yourself, for the laboring man
is the bone and sinew Of the land, and
ought to be well treated.
] am satisfied that getting up early,
Industry and regular habits, are the
best medicine prescribed for health.
When rainey, bad weather comes so
that you can't work out doors, split
and haul your wood; make your racks,
fixing your fence or q gate that is off
its hinges, or weather boarding your
barn where the wind has blown the
siding of, OIL patching the root Of your
barn or house.
Study your Interest closely, and do
not spend any time in electing Presi-
dents Senator'S and other smaller off
GERS, or ticking Of hard times when
spending your time in whiting store
boxes. etc.
Tai e your time and make calcula'
tioD's; don't do things in a hurry, but
do them at the right time, and keep
y our mind as well as the body employ
cd
