The town was settled by a wealthy and intel
ligent class of people-originally from the
lower part of South Carolina. I am inform
ed-and the citizens constitute refined and
cultivated society. To the traveller whose on
ly enjoyment is the charm Of society, | would
say, let your journey end here. Apart, how
ever, from this, would say there is no spot
in the mountains which has left upon my
mind more agreeable impressions, whether
regarding the purity of the atmosphere or
the magnificent mountain views.
Let it not be supposed that in this hurried
sketch I have exhausted the attractions of
this mountain section. There is the Black
Mountain, which is within days ride Of
Asheville, and in addition to its natural beau
ties offers now the inducements of q good ho-
tel. This mountain is said to be nearly 1000
feet high, and, according to Professor Mitch
ell, if mistake not, has the greatest eleva-
ton of any mountain east of the Mississippi
Pursuing the turnpike, the traveller will
reach the Warm Springs, which are situate
on the banks of the French Broad, S6 miles
below Asheville. This is one of the most
beautiful localities in a region where beauty
is met at every step. The springs are on the
margin of the river, and the temperature OF
the water is 105 degrees. ". -''...'. ..
In conclusion, would say, strangely con-
stituted must be he who does not feel that he
has been amply rewarded by trip to Blue
Ridge. .-....~ ..,--r.., >. U, A. +.
