This eminences wonderful upheaval of
nature, is by fr the most picturesque in
the town, and affords one of the best
views of the surrounding country and
mountain ranges of any in Asheville.
During the war this place was selected
by Lieut. Porter, of Jeter's Battery, of
South Carolina, as a formidable position
against the enemy, and in consequence
received the name of Battery Porter, in
honoa of the officer above mentioned.
On the top of the hill are yet yet to be
seen rifle pits thrown up by the men sta
tioned there during the war. At one
time there were eight pieces mounted on
this eminence, with; a force of lrom 1,200
to 1,500 men ready for action.
It will be remembered that Asheville,
during the war, was the headquarters of
the Western Military Department of the.
State, then under command of General
J. G. Martin. Virtually, this place was
the key, protecting the iron .and cotton
manulactures in - North - Carolina and
South Carolina; this point being'the only
practical route for the Federal forces to
advance fromTennessee into North Car
olina. There was no real engagement
between the two armies on this 6ite,and

Indian Affairs.
Chief N. Jarrett Smith, head of
the North Carolina ban3 of Chero
keep, reached Asheville on Thurs-;
day evening trom Washington .City,-'
where he had been for some months
on business connected with the af
fairs of his tribe; and JefiV j-esterday
morning for Hendersonville: at
which place he has three daughters,
pupils at Judson College.
"He has been suing on behalf of
his people for a share of the com
mon property-of the Cherokee na.
tion, consisting ia lands And money.
The Secretary of the Interior, no
on presentation of the claim, sub
mitted his view upon the subject to
Congress, which body referred the
matter taibe Court Claims.-'piat
tribunal, ..last summer, decided
against the validity of the claim, on
the ground that the North Carolina
band j by non removal to the Indian
Territory, had separated itself from
the main body of the Cherokees, had
created a separate and independent
voluntary interest, and had forfeited
all claim upon the common fund.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court of the United -States, and ar
gument had, early in January of this
year, the case occupying three day.
The Indians were represented by
Ex-Governor Crawford, of Kansas,
assisted by Messrs. Kilpattick and
Curtis'. Messrs: Shellabarger .and
Wilson wereAlso in the casev The
Supreme Court affirmed the decis
ion of the Court of Claims, deciding
that tbe only mode by which the
claim could be reinstated, - was by
removal of the claimants and a 're
union with the main body. -

iThe followins from the New York
Tribune on the culture of tobacco in the
Island ot Cuba might be of interest " as
well as profit to our tobacco growers. In
my opinion Col. Lopez de Quetelta ie
right in his views on America tobacco
cultivation, and it no doubt would be
profitable for oar growers to Irr and study
and follow tHeir plan. : ' r' Besp't, :

"Breathing the delicious aroma of a
Perffccto" ap town the other night, I
asked Col. Lopez de Qoerelta, who. has
been often in Cuba, how it eomes that
they are able on tnat island to raise so
much better tobacco than anywhere
toe.- He replied": '"Because they have
its cultivation reduced to a science. Your
American tobacco-raiser pays no atten
tion whatever to natural la wsv The
Cuban planter applies the exactness of
mathematical calculation to so small a
matter as the planting of his seed. He.
lays out his field so that the rows of plant
shall ma exactly north and south. Thus

Thuraldy evening, after - tea, we
were sitting in our office; in compi
ny with" a few visitors J who ' had
dropped in. The ' day had been
showery; and towards dark , had be
come somewhat threatening.- About
8 o'clock vivid flashes of - lightning,
but without thunder, gave signal of
a coming storm, and the rain began
to fall in heavy sheets. A composi
tor had brought us a proof slip, and
we were correcting it. Our eye had
just fallen upon the following sen
tence in a local item, published in
yesterday mornings is3ue: "Just as
he went out a very severe clap of
luunaer, accompanied Dy a - severe
flash of lightning shook the -walls
ol the city, &c." when,- on, the in
stant, a blinding flood ' of lightning
and a ripping crash of thunder came
simultaneously," and brought the
bouse to its; feet.. Looking through
the -window, which we '-faced,' the
moat astounding, splendid; terrify-
in spectacle met the eye. - The en
indie4. , atmosphere still blazed
with the - fiery flood. Every. rain
drop glowed like meteori c shower.
Uut the most splendid, vet tern the.
sight of aU was what looked like a
laya flow of incandescent -name,
which Seemed to overhang the cor
nice of Yaugilder and Brown's buil
ding, just opposite.. It seemed to
runjdown like the overflow of mol
ten metal from an overcharged fur
nace, a very cataract of liquid fire.
Iu a moment all .was dark .again;
and then" we listened for the. cry of
fire or the agonies of pain from some
.one struck down by . the sudden
bolt- But all was quiet; and though
we inew we -had bsenjvrapped in
the mantle pf the deadly lightning,
we realized that all had ec ip.'d its
blasting p-wer,.
Next morning-
investigation
showed that the Court House square
had been the point of discharge for
the electric current. But no bar ra
was itione except to theelophone
wires which had been made to carry
more than they could hold. It was
the effect -of the OYerchaige between
Vangilders and- the. Central office
which caused the appearance bf the
fiery cataract,-: Mr. Cliff was . busy
all day gathering , up wrecked and
ruined instruments. - Among those
destroyed was one in the room next
to ours Ours, being, cut out of cir
cuit was hot injured. :

Expert cultivators say that their
earliest - tomatoes jome from self
sown plants, where tomatoes hare
grown the previous year and -some
of the lruit rotted to the ground.
So says an exchange. And it H
true so far as early maturity. ' But
the ''volunteers" invariably revert
to first principles. They go back to
what the tomato was before it was
improved, small smooth and full of
seed. It is not desirable . for table,
but ia suitable for soups, flavoring
catsups, &c, and the volunteer is a
good and continuous bearer. The
judicious gardener will always per
mit a few plants to survive waen
they come up; transplanting dots
not improve them. Cittze.
