clever gcntleman-lOng since dead
and through the long vista down to the
present time, but space forbids. The
Spa'fam is now the property Of Mr.. F.
NJ. TRIMMER, Clerk Of Court, and un-
der the editorial control Of Major T.
Stojo Farrow, is recognized rs one Of
the leading papers Of the up-country.
We have always liked the ;Ipd3tltl, and
made a banter to its proprietor the other
day to sw,p the HERALD for it, lock,
stock and barrel, but old Dad put Il veto
on it. lie
CANNOT LEAVE >rAETANEUEH,
and who can blame lin, for it is tie
liycst place ever seen. with its big build
ings, colleges, asylumS, famous springs,
stages, omnibusscS, liberal hearted citi-
Zens, railroads in operation and in
. prospect-for the ASheville road is cer-
tain, anl then will ass;redly follow one
from this point to Augusta.-alreatiy
strongly talked about-its high religious
sentiment, and last but not least, its
great hospitality Who can blame the
old veteran for love so strong. But let
us
go BACKWARD"
not this time into the dim past, but into
the nearer past and to the trip up TO
this place, which was pleasantly made,
both in the sixteen miles across the coun-
try to Ashford'S Ferry, and the rest of the
ride made on the rail, all Of which ter
minated about S o'clock in the evening,
and which brought us comfortably to
the
SHELTER OF CALCuTT'S PALMETTO.
where we have remained ever since,
and without Il nurmur of dissent from
any one Of the numerous party-sevcn
al told. Never were way-farers treated
better, kindlicr or with greater prodi-
gality; verify the lines have fallen unto
us in pleasant places, and we have
found Il spot where the salt hath not
lost its SAVIOR. We are pleased to say
that the Palmetto is doing Il good busi-
ness. and it deserves it, for no labor,
expense OF pains are spared by Mr..
Calcutt and his family to make the
traveller feel at home and give him the
good cheer always so much needed
We cannot help making allusion to a
MOST vIILANoUS REPORT
which some dirty-mouthcd fellow has
tried in vain TO circulate extensively, to
the effect that the Palmetto is Il radical
house. Every one who is acquainted
with the antcccdcnts Of Mr.. Calcutt
and his high tone Of character, will ut
once spurn such 4 report with the con-
tempt which it deserves, but the vile
traduccr is aware that it will have its
effect with the stranger who does not
know the gentleman, hence so fur Us we
can give publicity to its denial we do so
and pronounce it one Of the bascst
Of falsehoods. Only the other day this
gentleman refused to allow Cartridge
box Wallace Il place under his roof, and
for the good reason that the company
that notorious individual entertained in
his room was offensive to his sense of
what was due to the house and lis res
pectable guests. 1t is but due Mr.. c.
to add that lie is no politician and has
never allowed himself to be mixed up
in the nuddle of either party, but that
he votes quiet democratic ticket. But
enough of this. A delightful afternoon
WAS spent
AT THE MINERAL SPRING,
q mile and half from town. and which
has been named once before in this let
ter 1t is I charming place, and is
largely visited for its Iron water, ice
cream garden, boat riding on l-awsons
Fork Creek, place famous in revolu-
tionary times, lis croquct ground,
charming walks, &c. Mr.. Garrett has
Z mine in this property and will make
II handsome thing Of it. A var, almost
as intense as that Of the Capulets and
Montaeues, exists here between the
rival livery stables, but the damage
done does not endangcr life-wc pass
it. We would like to say 4 word about
the concert Of Wednesday night, in
which
MURDER
most foul WAS committed in musical
point of view, but as Major Fa,row, Of
the S1artnn. threatens to hold us re-
Sponsiblc, we will keep dark. Speak
ing Of lnusic-Prof Schmitt and family,
including Miss Amelia, make this place
their homeland they arc very much at
home. The Professor, you know, makes
himself at home wherever he GOES
And now we think it
ABOUT TINE TO STOP
by saving that it is raining and very
cool, and consequently our trip over the
mountains so bliSsfully anticipated q few
days ago, will no doubt have to be given
up. Who wants TO 60 to the mountains
when fires and ovcrcoats are necessary
in the valleys and lowiands, not this
party. Such trip would be exceed
ing uncomfortable under the circum-
stances-therefore we continue Il while
longer under the Palmetto. On ycster-
day we had the pleasure of seeing

he was in the highest spirits-prospects
fine-house full-everybody pleased
We are rejoiccd at this-pcrhaps next
week we will 90 over and take Il look
at the scene so charming. Maj Baxter
passed through here yesterday like 4
meteor. and in haste to catch the Air
Line for Greenvillc Mr.. w. w. Davies.
Sup't S. &. L. +. Il. is 4 thorough 90
ahead man and is improving his road
in all respects very much-wor!d like
to say more under this head, but not
now. Saw and had pleasant in
