But ere you have long indulged in this train of thought, the North Easterly winds and rain, dispelling the fond il lusion, bid you again behold the wj Id freaks of rough winter's stormy reign. This country is said to be more subject to drought; in summer than Western Carolina, but for reasons which we shall notice, when we come to speak of the soil, the drought is not so injurious to the crops. The general appearance of tho country is by no means prepossessing. 1 hough it may be called a level country, because hills and moun tains are not seen, yet the' monotony of a per fect level is frequently relieved bygenile undu lations and small hollows through vhich winds a channel of a branch creek, or riv"er .: the two former dry in summer, in winter coursed by a dirty slugglish stream. j The soil is of a dark greyish cast, of a sandy mature, though entirely destitute of gravel, small or large.

The last number of Silliman'a Journal contains an account of a mass of meteoric iron' which has been discovered in Soulfi Caro lina. It was found several years since by a laborer on the plantation of Mr. S. M. McKeown, situated in the Chesterfield district. On being accidentally" shown to t a blacksmith a few weeks ago, he, proved it to be malleable, for out of it he made a pair of hinges, a few nails, and a horso r shoe. The original weight of the mass is said to have been thirty-six pounds.: Jts ? original shape was oblong, with one side ' and end thicker ancLrounder than j their j . opposites, and its surface was much in- : dented and coated by rust. ' I i On being analyzed this iron was. (band to contain nickel, traces of chromium, co , bait, and nodular masses of magnetic U pyrites. Its most remarkable peculiarity, i according to Professor Silfiman, consists in the appearance of its polished strffaco ! when treated with dilute nitric acid, which ' is then covered with a great variety of beautiful figures. It is very dense, and takes a brilliant polish; but its etched surface immediately distinguishes it flora every other iron hitherto described. AN INCIDENT. of any spirit Of unkindness.

For a mintpto description of these sump, tuous residences, dnd a full account of their in terior arrangements, style of living, &c, the reader is referred o the letters of Mr. Colman, On page 108, Vol. 1. Mr Colman gives an account of several noblemen whose annual in come varied from l100,000 to 150,000, that is from $500,000; to $750,000. Speaking of Lord Yarborough he says, that his Lordship "has an indefinite number of Hunters, &c, dec," and adds- , It was the custom at this place tor his Lordlhip, and his guests were al ways invited to accompany him, at nine o'clock precicely, in the evening to visit the stables, where the hunting ahd riding horses were kept which reached by la Covered passage way from the house. The stables presented all the neat ness of a house parlor, and the grooms were more than a dozen in number, all drawn up in a line to receive the company." Lord Yarbo rough has more than 60,000 acres in his plant ation he has 606 tenants, and you can ride thirty miles, in a direct line, upon his estate. " Many of the tenants of Lord Yarborough pay 1000 and 1400 "guineas a year, and several of them live like noblemen, keeping their dogs, horses, carriages, land servants in livery."
