THE REPORTER.) Thursday, August 28, 1873. PIEDMONT SPKINGS, Aug. 17th, 18»3. There is quite a crowd ot visitors j here at present, ono to two hundred, j and the cry is still they come, a more , cheerful, good humored and good look ing set of people, I never saw, they all seem to have adopted the idea, to eat, ( drink, and live, what can the rest avail j us, and 6uch drinking they have, I do not mean the compounds manufactured ' above ground, so tastefully and skill fully, made up by our polite artist in that line, but the wonderful lountain that flows from the crivice in the rock, cool, and delightful, and which proves by its health healing properties, "tho hand that made it is divine." Tho more substantial comforts of the inner man, are well looked after by our kind host, and hostess, under many difficul ties, which wo hopo will soon be re moved bv the restoration o^ l « ir fami ly to health. The iiAsoments are various, ten pins, billids, cards, back gammon, chess, &c., itho day, while Terpsichore seems toionopolize the devotions of the younjr part of the crowd at night, and he worship is sometimes continued ttlie "wee sma' hours aryont the twal.' I have visited the Cascade, Moore's liob and (Jfher places of interest in th vicinity, the first a beautiful piece onatural scen ery, where a creek, lase enough to turn a small mill whec above, runs through a cleft in tho uck, and pre cipitates itself over a fa. of about 30 feet, it doos not take a (ear leap, like Longfellow's, "Minnehaha," but clings to the rock, it is so muci broken up by the rapidity of the di&ent as to re semble a streem of liquil silver, the distance from the top of tie rock (be low the fall) to the pool if water be low is 65 1-2 feet, it apjears to the casual observer to be mtch more.— The view from the mountain is exten sive and beautiful, you see far and wide over the surrounding country, dotted with fields and farm houses, in the distance is the Pilot, 'with its dusky sides and towering piguacle, still farther the Bj ue rictof • "Spnfbvi . u thfcre W truth in poetry. « "'Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, And robes the mountain in its azure hue." Now Mr. Editor is it strange that one so young and ardent, under 60 many inspiriting influences should be ambiti ous of doing something out of the or dinary course of events, I have men tioned the subject of matrimony to some of Eve's fairest daughters, the very porcelain of human clay. Sir and they all put' me off, hinting some thing about years of discretion. Now if you have any knowledge, at what point in this earthly pilgrimage those counted years come in, please inform me, and confer a lasting favor on your humble servant. A VISITOR. The years of discretion that our young Correspondent from Piedmont Springs, is required to wait for, rarely | if ever comes in negotations of this character. Editor. A CLOWN'S SERMON. A sermon, preached in Virginia, by the clown of a circus is thud^re ported. It was evening, when the performance was about to close, the olown stepped forward and in a solemn tone adbress ed the vast assemblag present in the following style: '.My friends, Ave have taken in about six hundred dollars here to day—more money, I venture to say, than any minister of the Gospel in this counfcy will receive for a whole yoar's service. A large portion of this money was given by church mem bers ; a large portion of this audience is made up of members of the church. And yet, when your preacher asks you for money to aid in supporting the Gosple, you say you are too poor to give anything. Yet you come here and pay dollars to hoar me talk nonsense. lam a fool because I am paid for it; I make my liviug by it. iou profess to be wise, and yet you support me in my folly- But perhaps you say you did not como to tho circus, but the animals. All, this is all an excuse. If you camo simply to Bee the animals, why did you not look at them and leave ? | Office Board of Commissioners of Stokes County. DAJIBTTBY, N. C., August 25, 1873.

One of our Northern Republican exchanges, after speaking in doleful numbers, of the wretchedly low stand ard of morality in Administration circles and the country generally, thus despairingly cries out for a sa viour : 'Who and where is the clear think ing statesman —no, not statesman, common man —every day man hard-fisted, rough and hearty, but honest way down, true to wife and family and his own manhood, who will roll away the stone from the sepulchre of public virtue ? The time, calls out for him. The country waits his coming. A nation bowed down with the shame brought on it by its trusted servants, with its lace in the dust, prays in its anguish for some convulsion that shall rend the heav ens and purify the air, and elect to the Chief Magistracy of the Nation a clever, honest, talented and whole souled Southern gontlenian —some- body who would |>ut a stop to the stealing, and teach Radical officials better manners —who would appoint ' trustworthy and efficient officers to ) the public places, and set the country, as several Southern Presidents, have I done before, an example of honor, . integrity and patrioism —and then ( the face of things would be changed i and the moral atmosphere purihod once more." f Until the best men of the South . get a controlling influence in the af -31 fairs of the National Administration, 1 the Camerons, Mortons, Butlers and [ | Wilsons will rule the day, and tho s j government will every day sink low ) er and lowfir down in tho depths ot 5 vice, corruption and degradation, c When Southern statesmen and pol i itioians held the reius of power, there was some respect for public moral- II ity ; some honesty and decency in tho s j conduct of the nation's affairs, and o | some adherence to the principles of s i private and public integrity, but now, 0 ! there is none ! 1 i So much for the Ropublican party !
