Editor: Every excursion party gen erally baa ita correspondent, who is expected, for the benefit of themselves and their friends, to report pnblicly what they have seen, and sometimes what they haven't seen. And now since all of the Salisbury Excur sion Party have returned safe and sound, over joyed with their grand trip, to touch so that some already are talking ol a next year's trip of the same kind; to complete it I prepare to give you a short sketch, imperfect as it may be, of our route, the scenes, incidents, dec, therewith connected. Leaving Salisbury on Wednesday morning of the 14lh, ult., as we did with music sweet and colors gay, we reached at twelve o'clock MilL Bridge, where our county representative and former enterprising townsman, Mr. J. S. Mc Cubbins resides, there we fed and dined. Two nV.o.-k found ns again on the road. To- w.irtM t' e i-.iweof e evening as we ueaqjj the iiule vili (e uf MvrMviIle we met large crowds of people on their way home, and upon inquiry of what was up, we found that they had been attending the .speaking, and as we entered the village with the band playing "The camels are coming." who should we meet but our honest and noble representative, of whom we are so proud, the Hon. Wm. M. Bobbin's, who had just closed one of bis telling two hour speeches tor Convention. lie came out and gave us all a hearty shake of the hand. Our excellent Luit. Gov Armfield had also made oneof his convincing speeches there that day. Stopping only a few minutes in Moorsville, we started again upon our journey: ere long dark and angry clouds were seen gathering in the West, and soon a drenching rain was upon us with all Us fury, but still we drove on until the shades of night began to fall, when find- Oh, if I were a bird.

On the left was chimney rock, a lone rock 205 feet high deriving its name from its near likeness to a chimney, in the centre was a huge rock 250 feet from top to base, and to the right, the grandest of all was Hickory Nut Falls, a stream about 9 feet wide falling over a precipice 960 feet. 'Long before it reached the bottom it becomes spray, npon which the rays of the sun falls, forming a thousand little rainbows, danc ing in the sun light. As far as the eye could reach, was stretched out a vast panorama of mountains, vast chain, around how far, above how high, below how deep! while below oar feet flowed the beautiful Broad (whose banks were lined with beautiful trees, herbs and flowers of all kinds and every description) flowing on and on with gentle murmur, nnii! it with the Catawba forms the iSauiej?, out; ol' in1 fit river of South Carolina. How beautiful, how rattd, how sublime : the Broad river to our idea of the beautiful, Falls to our idea of the grand, and huge masses of rock to our idea of the sublime all placed there by the Almighty's hand, as a material manifes tation to lead our souls to heavenward aspira tion. After going up the Hickory Nut Gap three miles we turned to the left passing .through Reedy Patch Gap the nearest way to Hender son vilie, along which we think there is some of the wildest and most romantic scenery in the World. We crossed the Reedy Patch creek, a beauti ful little stream flowing down the mountain side, singing as it flows in sweet acord with zepher's breeze nature's song of happiness, thir teen times ; and reached Hendersonville that evening, and encamped near the Episcopal The l4Color Line." roe value oi xteu AUBt-jrrooyi Oats. j it In the Rural for August, 1874, I pub lished an experiment with red oats, that several friends asserted was an exception, because "it was growing oats too cheap."

We found that we were camping in the cor ner where three counties joined together, not far from the spot where the brave and patriotic Gen. Davidson of revolutionary fame gave up his life in defense of his beloved country. The next morning bright and early we were upon the road, crossing the noted old Beaties i Ford, which broilght up many reminiscences of the past; wc struck for Lincolnton which we reached at two o'clock. There we were met by our excellent and hand, o me Dr. Griffithwho by his wit and humor enlivened the crowd con siderably. "Bjd not aaeaJh'ng so much as to dai" as his adding so much to the music. As we passed the outskirts of the old and historic town of Lincolnton, on the roadside was a beautiful residence, upon the veranda of which stood a most beautiful young lady, who as wc passed made us a bow which would have been admired in the court of Charles I, and of course our gallant. Captain ordtred a halt, and? ing one of his best pieces gave her some of the best music that was made on the trip, therefore to return the compliment she sent out some splendid wine and good old rye, which was a very agreeable surprise; yes, Miss Guion created an indelible impression upon some ot our hearts, and some uo doubt have been oft repeat ing to themselves, "Sweet girl though only once we met,' That meeting I shall ne'er forget." The second night we pitched our tents in regular camp "tyle, and we found sleeping upon the ground much better than sleeping upon the floor. By the next day aUwelve we reached Cleve land Springs, a place for which nature has done every thing, art nothing. The water was the finest we have ever seen-r-so strong that the white sulpher could be seen in the bottom of the Spring. There were only about fifty visitors there,. but a great many more were expected. Leaving there we passed through the beauti ful little village of Shelby, where we met sever al old friends who treated us very kindly. We camped that night at McBrayers, well known place in that country, where we got a most excellent supper and breakfast for forty cents a piece, and as it was the first time we had taken our meals out of camp.

Leaving our baggage at Hendersonville we went out to Flat Rock, a great place of resort for South Carolinians ; wei.ted the residence of Rev. J. G. Draylair which stands on the summit of a small mountain, the most beauti ful place we have ever seen ; from the back of his house there is terrace after terrace until it reached at its foot a beautiful little lake; in front of his house are flower beds laid off in the most magnificcnistvle, and containing flowers ol" every kind, the most beautiful. Mr. Dray tair is an Episcopal minister, who with his whole parish removed during the sum mer months from Charleston S. O. to Flat Rock. Throughout the whole country for miles and miles on every hill side are residences of the same kind. Coming back to H. we left in the even ing on our road to Asheville. About five miles from Hendersonville we passed a beautiful place belonging to Col. Courtland, who with his family removed from Baltimore and built him a house with all modern improvements. Just be low his house wa a large and beautiful meadow upon which five mowers were playing. Col. Court landwho came out with his fine whiskey and all those that indulged fared sumptuously.

The Journal of Agriculture says that the pmci ice of taming hogs into the woods to make their own living till cold weather, and theu shotting them up aud feeding them on eorn alone ia a very expensive way of making pork. To be sure, tke summer feed costs nothing ; bat then, as a general fact, the hogs make very little growth, not half as maeh as they would postponed till September or October, bo- it t'iey were supplied with proper food. cause cotton n quiring clean culture tbe laud is in better tilth, and fewpr furrows are necessary. The bauds while picking cotton during the winter will trample opon the sprigs, and make iL-mq stool out better therefor. Sheep will winter on oa's iu a cotton field and never molest the cotton till they have eaten up the oats. Where cotton is the exclusive crop, there is uo little vexation and harrassiug doubts at harvest time to him who ven turer to sow small grain. In June the cotton and eorn need the attention of the lob.uer constantly. Hence, tbe policy, almost necessity, of interesting the labor er in the ownership at least of the oat crop. A fair contract, in this regard, is for the employer to furnish the seed, f r tilixer, and land, and require the employee to supply the labor of seeding aud bar versting, and at harvest time divide tbe crop, oue-fourth to the laborer and three forths to the employer. An acre of land, producing twei.ty bushels of oats, would thus give the laborer five bushels of. oats bh, but that both aa to IS 1 J CEO AH COVE X URgERl. bbsbbSW PLA5T8 A FBCIT TREES, FIXES A large sleek at reaannskle rat Sew CaiaUgue for IffS and Tt aim jafJsm scriptbma of fruits, ant frse.
