J.Ir. RoSKBTS-TUis village and its surround,
hig country is perhaps much better known to as
than most or our readers. ; The situation, is high.
and by no means uniutrrctiting the surrounding
country is one of the most romantic in the West
era continent, and so pure and refreshing is tho
air, so cool, sweet and bountiful is the water, that
if immortality were to be found on erth we would
expect it to dwell among these mountains. I am
mori and more confirmed fat the opinion which
you nave often heard me express, that nothing but
a want of cleanliness, needless exposure or wilful
intemperance can prevent the people of Western
Carolina being as healthy, If not much more so,
than any people on tho face of the earth. ' In tra
velling over all tho country, and visiting blmosi
every neighborhood,' I rarely meet With any of
those diseases common to cold countries, and I
have yet to be convinced that a' case of consump.
tion ever did originate in that region of country,
that is embraced in what was onoe familiarly
called Mlio Siato of Buncombe."
It Is I think to bo much regretted, that a court-
try possessing such an inviting prospect and so
many natural advantages aa this, should be so
poorly Improved. Haywood county is decidedly
one of the best paxing countries I have ever seen,
and yet strange to toll, there is not in the county
what deserves to be , called -a grazing or stock

of beef cattle,, banes and sheep, raised at a leas

hundred miles round. . At present there is net the
hundredth part of the stock that could or should
bo kept here, '. What is, is mostly of an Inferior
quality, and eight months of tb-c year lives entirely
upon the wild grass of the mountains, the remain,
ing four montha it is made to subsist npon corn

This is not, and never will be a corn raising

bur or five in corn, and can be attended with
half the labor. . For fifty years to Oome there will
most probably be no necessity whateverof pastu.

as to be considered almost inexhaustahle. A few
acres of well attended meadow will winter a huge
amount uf sUpk particularly if they are well she.

supply a great portion of the Southern market.
You know that I disclaim any connection with
partiziin polities, but I will just here eay without
any regard to political parties, that if the people of
Haywood and surrounding counties prosper as
they should do, there must be lit talk mmd more

by wagon loads, jt would do them no good if they
have nothjng to give in exchange, and they cannot
expect to hare any thing to give without industry
and economy.
Leaving all this for the present, there is one
thing among others, that speaks well for Haywood
that is a genera disposition to read and become
informed on "an., questions of general interest
Thia is encouraging and we may soon expect to

A Novelty,
IT It is well known to most of our readers, that
the supporters of. Mr. Van Buren attributed their
disasters in tlie elections of the present year, main
ly to the unpopularity of the Army Bill, recom
mended to the present Congress. Ritchie ascribes
theft" defeat in Virginia chiefly to this ill advised
maneuvre. In fact this ultra Federal measure
seems to have aroused the indignation of the peo
ple from one. end of the Union to tlie other, It
was enough to awaken the most sluggish, and po
litical destruction is starving the Administration
in the face.. How were they to get out of the dif
ficulty? The President, in his message, at tho
beginning of the present session of Congress, had
declared that "the present condition of the defen
ces of our principal seaports, and Navy Yards, aa
represented by the accompanying Report of tho
Secretary of War, calls for the early and serious
attention of . Congress; and as connecting itself in
timately with this subject, I camxot recommend
too strongly to your consideration the plan sub
mitted by. that officer, for the organization of the
Militia of tho United States." The Secretary in
his Report, had given the outlines of the scheme,
and in another paper had stated the details of "tlie
plan" most minutely. , Here then seems to be a
full committal in the most solemn manner, : How,
we repeat, was even Mr. Van Buren, with all the
political ingenuity, which 'baa been ascribed to
him, to get out of the difficulty T It was a dcepc
rate ease, and a novel expedient has been resort
ed to.-
In the but Standard we have ajong letter from
Mr. Poinsett, in which he declares that Mr. Van
Buren had no "previous knowledge of the details
of the plan." What he means by the word jrt-
tro, we cannot determine with any degree of
certainty. . Wo are at a loss to know whether , be
means that the President had no knowledge of tho
plan befers'it was prepared by the Secretary, or
whether be intends to say that it was unknown by,
him, even when he recommends it thus strongly
to Congress. The Standard, however, adopts the
bitter interpretation, and assures its readers, that
at tho time when Mr. Van Buren waa lauding this
plan in the moet extravagant manner, he had no.
ver seen it Tell it not m Gath ! . 1 no lYeetdent
of these United States recommends, in the most
emphatic manner to Congress, s. measure of which
be has no knowledge whatever! Really this is
retting-out of the difficulty most admirably. The
people are to be told that the President, to whom
they look for the most vigilant watchfulness over
all their interests, is in the habit of recommending
fortheadoptjoiiof Cuugnas, in tlio strongest term
measures which he baa never condescended, to
examine, and of course, could not pretend to have
understood. He, it seems, merely endorses hi
blank, and lets bio subordinates put Jin the sub.
stance. v WiO any man in his senses believe this!
Mr. Van Buren so grossly and culpably careless
to neglect to examine the important matters ,
... -; .. .. , 1
which he submits to Congress in bis annual messa
res? Does he knd his name to every wild scheme
of hi andcrlingsT This is tmpossiblo. Tho
whole matter U an after thought; a lame expedi
ent to extricate him from imnendinf dancer. . In
England, we know the maxim is, the King can do
no wrong. When he commits a blunder in tlie af
fairs of Government, his ministers bear the blame.
and their heads come to the block. Mr. Van Da
ren wishes ns to adopt this courtly fashion now for
the first time. He seeks to evade the responsibili
ty of his own measures, and to throw all tho blame
on his Secretary; and thus interpose a shield be
tween himself and popular indignation. . . '. 1

Gen. Ilarriaoii'i Cowardice. ;
In our hut number wo made a few remarks with
regard to tho reckleshees of the friends of the Ad
ministration, in charging Gen.' Harrison with
cowardice, and want of military skill. We this
week publish a list of articles, extracted with
care, from authentic documents, on that subject
These, ws think, sufficient to satisfy any honest
fav iiinatiowhich the
most eminent men of tire nation, without regard
to political parties, have heretofore put upon his
talents and conduct as a General and a patriot;
and should put to the blush those who have thus
aasailcd him. ' "

nominal prices to the real standard- of pri
ces throughout the world, and you cover
tlie country with blessings and benefits."
Mr. Jiuclmian t speech on the bub-Trea.
wry. . '
This short extract embraces tho whole
question. The argument is tliis : As all
that man eats, drinks, and wears, enter in.
to the price of labor it is necessary U re
duce the value of products of tlicjsoil, thai
the price 01 labor may be also reduced
For if a mechanic recievc only twenty-fiv
fifty, or seventy-five cents a day for his
labor, hc would starve unless he could buy
tho necessaries of life with bis. wages. It
may be said, therefore that the value" of
bread, meat, vegetables, coffee, tea, and
sugar, which the manufacturer consumes
enters into the price of every piece of
cloth, or other product of the mauufactu
rer and workshop, which we wear or use.
Now, it is of some little consequence to the
American people whether we encourage
our own cultfval6rsof thesoil,- dr-those- of
another country. If the American me.
- . . a ra
cnamc does not labor lor the same price
that the-EureiicafthAftielabo
then our manufactories and workshops are
to be broken up , according! to .tho doctrine
and policy of the Administration r and we
shall be paying for thnproduce-fthe soil
of other counrriFs", By being forced to buy
and use products of their looms and work
shops. To avoid this, say our rulers, the
price of labor must come down ; so that we
can enter into competition with bngland
Germany and r ranee , and thus create a mar
ket at home for the products of the soil, or
we shall be forced to transport it to a for.,
eign market, and sell it at 1 foreign prices.
This, then, fixes tlie Value of both labor and
provisions of all kinds. We must bring
them ' down, to the "tlandard pncei
throughout the woKLD, or wc have no

cond, time for tho purpose of reference;
when Mr..Norvell moved Its reference to a.

people to practice economy and hard labor,
tlA?v are determined not to lose any thins
out of thcpublic crib' whicTi they can lay

was adopted; but Mr. urundy and Mr. .
