Here, the. busy sons of com mercial enterprise, the village maidens, the hard-read student, the laborious mechanic, and the transient visiter may all repair, when tho heats and toils of the day have passed, and enjoy nature in her purest and loveliest garb. We cannot dismiss this part of our subject without adverting to a roman tic cascade on Reedy river, and quite con tiguous to the village ; better known, how. ever, under the title of " the Falls." This Puttis not remarkable for its elevation or grandeur, impressing the minj of the be. holder with a sense of awe, like the raving cataract or giddy precipice, but more for that agreeable sensation which is produced upon the mind when contemplating scenery of this character, divested of any sense of danger. A walk to the Falls constitutes the fashionable promenade during the warm season. It is reached by an agrceuble dc. sort along the side walks of Main street, fronted by several tasteful private dwellings, until you nearly approach the ford of the stream, when you descend along its brink until nearly opposite the Falls, -then Iby a few steps you find yourself safely standing on a large and sloping rock, from which you have a full view of the fall above, pre cipitated over a rugged edge of rocks, and the agitated bosom of the basin at its base. Its effect is much enhanced by a nocturnal visit ; the moonbeams dazzlingly reflected 13 . . the firmament sufficiently illuminated to discover the dim outline of the surrounding forest This sequestered spot is said to bo the favorite haunt of sighing swains and lov-8ick damsels. We know not-why it should be so, unless it is that the obscurity and calmness of the hour, is favorable to the concealment of that soft suffusion of coun tenance which is apt to be exhibited on such occasions, or that the din of the water re quiring an clovation of voice, overcomes those tremulous and faltering tones which tho boldest and bravest are but too opt to feel on those interesting emergencies. Cer tain it is the rocks and the bcachen trees bear ample testimony that lovers have been there ; and doubtless the village legends, if fairly written out by some veracious chron. icier, if they did not record examples of lover's leaps," might still furnish many an'interesting chapter for the columns of those periodicals which treasure up tho fruits of genius and fugitive literature of the day. Soulh Carotin, Juljy 1841 rok THE " MESSENGER." TJraTn'ectihg of 'ffic TcmjRiriccoTu ety of Ashcviltc and its vicinity, Jieldon the 19th April, 1841, the 1'residcnt, Ur. J. Dickson, read a paper suggesting various measures for the consideration of the Soci. ety ; and after some interesting and usctui remarks were made upon the suggestions it contained, particularly in reference to the circulatfonjif theWejrte Advocate, auu treating ai elections, n was, on motion, laid on the tabic. N. W. -Woodhn, hsq., resigned. tho of fice of Secretary. This resignation being accepted,"! rf IV Stradley was dQ!y"eIccTciT to that place. The next meeting was appointed to pc field at 3 p. m. on Monday, 5th July ensu ing, and the President was directed, with the concurrence of other members to be nominated by him,' to procure the attend. and aid of suitable speakers on that occa sion. Mr. Woodfin and Afrrf. Stradley were nominated to perform this duty. The President was also directed to ap point a suitable person or persons to solicit the necessary amount by voluntary contri bution to compensate Mr. Stradley for the sum he had paid toward the printing of the address delivered by Dr. S. II. Dickson in this place, 4th July, 1839. Mr. John Os born was' accordingly appointed. An invitation was given to persons pi e sent who were not yet members to add th ir names, and upon adjournment, six were added to the list. Adjourned, to the day and hour above named. J. DICKSON, Pre " H. Stbadle y , &c. ..; JULY 5tii, 1841. A meeting of the Asheville Temperance Society was held at the Court House, in pursuance of an order passed at the (last preceding meeting. The hour had been changed from 3 p. x. to 11 a. m., by the officers, for the convenience of several members and the public at large. The President having taken tho chair, the paper which was before the Society at the last meeting, and which was laid on the table was called up, and the several sug gestions made were separately discUsscd and approved, and it was accordingly Resolved, That efforts 1 nladeloplace the Western-Carolina Temperance Advo cate in every family in Buncombe, and to circulato other Temperance publications, and that collections be made at our meet ings to this end, which shall be deposited with the board of managers, and by them appropriated accordingly. The entire paper was then amended and adopted, as follows : Communication laid before the AsheviJle Temperance Societa , b u the President , Dr. J. Dickson, April IQth, 1841, called up and adopted, July bth. The difficulty of obtaining meetings of the bociety has been a source of very great discouragement to tho officers and to the friends of Temperance : and tho first sub. 5ject I would suggest lor your consideration is this : What is the cause, or what arc the causes of this difficulty, and how may it be obviated J. so that hereafter we may assem ble promptly, punctually, and with a lively interest in the great work wo have under taken; for it is never to be forgotten that in enrolling ourselves as members of a Tern perance Society, we have enlisted in, the cause of sound principles, good morals. true benevolence, and tho real liberties of our country. It appears to Yno that the want of infor motion is the great cause of the indifference manifested by non-nttendunce at our ap pointed meetings, lo remedy this, we must resort to the active distribution and circulation of documents suited to the wants of the community. You are all aware that this was one of the means used to create the interest first felt in this region, and this we must employ again in order torenew and to extend that interest. 1 would pro pose that anctfort be made to put the West. em-Carolina Temperance Advocate into every family in Buncombe, and that other cheap and suitable publications be procured and extensively circulated. The actual condition of tho Society is lit tle known to the members or even the. offi- i . r l r ir to learn the number of namcs.or character of the members, w hether thcir pledges are supposed to be honorably kept ; where, and in what state arc tlio papers of the society ; or how far the cause has been advaucingor declining in this county. There seems to be a geherat imprcssionlhntirhas languish ed and gone backward. The truth should be known on this point, and I urgently re commend, the appointment of a .committee to report shortly the history of the work in this region, the state, numbers and pros, pects of this Society, and the condition of its papers. Another subject that deserves our regard for the same reasons, in substance, is the history of the Temperanco reform at large. From the purport of some late documents that have fallen under my notice, I am of opinion that top little is known or has ever been accurately stated in a regular manner, with reference to the origin and early his. tory of this great work, destined as it is by tho blessing of Heaven in an important sense to regenerate our country and the world. It is highly desirable that from the best lights now afforded us an account should be prepared that will bear examina tion, and transmit just ideas to those who may hereafter seek such information. This matter it mii'lit be wcflTalso to commit to commit to some of the members in order that the readers of the "Advocate" may be furnisheu with KiiowTeuc so useful. There is one other point which I deem of sufficient magnitude to engage the atten tion and tho most strenuous efforts of the Society ;, I mean the practice of treating (as it is called) at elections. This is a direct source of corruption, and a most unworthy IBCJhj3UL(aij Inrity. Y e have too long indirectly coun tenanccd it, wliile no favor is shewn to our cause by those who, for their own elevation merely, resort to such means of jraining votes. What kind of patriotism is that, which prostrates alike the individual worth and welfare of the private citizen, and the general good of the people, to secure a pre ference over a competitor for office 1 It is a direct insult on a free citizen's character to intimate that he is capable of being bribed by a dram by the privilege of degrading himself below tho ordinary level of the brutes. And it is a most lamentable fact that this intimation is made at every elec tion, and still more lamentable that the conduct of many voters acknowledges its truth as it regards themselves. . A torrent of iniquity breaks in upon us"at this very point, nor is it the least destructive part of Ityeevil that by tins degradation ot uurcicc. tive franchise and of the character of elec tors, our interests and liberties are made valueless and contemptible in the eyes of candidates, of the citizens themselves, and of ihe world at large. And can any man in this ontivrrilonnd and country any nuuiXmcaawha is aU4pja4wd t-W4 cise the sacred rights of an American citi- zcn can any such man bo so blind as not to perceive that this revolting practice tends to the total ruin of our free institutions ? Not only docs it corrupt and degrade the people, and render them equally unworthy and careless of their privileges, but it may onen tho way for the worst of men, the most splfish. and reckless, and incompetent of 7 , , politicians to office and power. In such hands would our liberties and our interests be safe T " Let us then persuade oun neighbors and friends to unite in an expression of the pub lic wish Jhat those who aspire to honors among us would no more insult the free men of America and jeopardize all the in terests of the country by this means, i would propose, in conclusion, ths following, resolutions. ' Whereas; the practice of treating at elections is insulting to ireemen, uegrauing to candidates, debasing our civil privileges, and in its tendencies endangering the liberty and welfare of the country therefore, Resolved, That we earnestly and re spectfully entreat all candidates for office to.abstain from this revolting and corrupting practice. : Resolved, That these doings be published in the " Messenger" and "Advocate," and that all our fellow-citizens be respectfully and earnestly solicited to unite with us in opposing this dangerous practice, by ex pressing, on suitable occasions their wish that candidates for office would hereafter decline treating at elections. .... .The resolutions wcro adopted num. ton.- Resolred, That Messrs. P. Stradley, McAnally and Hardy, be a committee to ascertain and report the Itistory and condi tion of this Society, the state of its papers, and the number and character of its mem bers. Resolved, That Dr. Dickson be requested to compilo a brief history of the Temper ance Reform at large, from the latest and best documents within his reach, to be in serted in the "Advocate." -The meeting then adjourned.

Tennessee Elections. The election for Gov- crnor will take place in Tennessee early in August next. It is impossible now to say what will be the most probable result. The papers of each party seem confident of the success of their can didate. Few facts in the history of our country will be more gratifying to the virtuous and good of every sect, than to learn the rapid progress of tho temperance cause. In al most every part of our widely extended country, far and near, is the work going rapidly on. The old and the young, rich and poor of both sex fare engaging with an earnestness and zeal that speaks loudly in favor of the final triumph of this benevolent and huniaoo cntcrprize. In Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, they have so. cicties of reformed drunkards which num. 5nIr. 12 J ?xiber-thcir members by -hundreds, and arc valuable and J Still rapiuiy on me increase. It is now entirely past the time of day for the opposers of this cause lo urge an objec tion founded on tho supposed inutility of temperance societies .By these associa tions a change, for tho better, has been fest tp be denied, and by these associations, the reform is to be carried forward until drunkenness with its train of innumerable evils shall have been banished from our land! The work has been begun, it is progressing and must be consummated. V. C. Temp. Advocate. The regular boats on the Sionington and Norwich routes to New. York, hnve become thorough temperance boats. It adds very much to the pleasure, as well as to the seeu rity of travelling. It is evidence al.-w of our progress, and of a willingness on the part of public corporations to yield to a sound public sentiment. Tho doctrine is fasT passing away, that travellers should drink. Of all occasions for taking intoxicating drinks, on board a boat, or car, or coach, seems to be the vry, worst time and place. To judge from our own experience, a tra veller needs the full' possession of himself to take care of himself; to be sure at the land ing that he is himself, and not somebody else ; thaHie has his own bnggagc, and that noise ot uuck, sir, tiacKj sir, irpm forty voices all at once, he docsjnot get into two or three coaches at a time.1 And then again there are o many ways to go to a place, and to do a thing now-a-days, that a stranger and traveller would do well among the multitude who have a great variety of fish to fry, not only to make a choice, but to have the ability to choose. One's wits ore called for at the present day, to avoid the sly hand of a rascally Paul Pry, who is sure to find nil pocket-books before they are lost.?- We do say, keep sober when you travel. If a man drinks at all, he should drink, at home, where ho will have an af fectionate wife or friend to lake care of him; but he ought not to drink there for a thousand, reasons. Traveller, take care and not drink abroad, artd be surevou do not at home. -Mass. Temp. Journal. 'V. ' v'-..t'- - - Clone of the lives of John Adaau aud Thomas Jefferson. , BV WEBSTER." In 1820, Mr. Adams acted as elector of President, and .Vice-President, and in the same year we saw him, then ut the age of eighty. five ,' a member of the Convention of this Commonwealth, called to revise the Constitution. Forty years before, he hud been one of those who formed that Consti tution ; and he hud now the pleasure of wit nessing that there was little which the poo. plo desired to change. Possessing all his (acuities to the end of his long life, with nn unubuted love of reading and contemplation, in the centre of interestihgcireles of friend, ship and aF;ctjon,wJhe,vasbJessed uiiis retirement with whatever of repose and fa cility the condition of man allows. He hnd, also, other enjoyments. He saw around hiin that prosperity and general huppincss, which hud been tbe object of his cures and, labours. No man ever beheld more clearly and for a longer time, the great and bene fieiul effects of the services rendered by himself to his country. That liberty, which he so early defended, that independence, of which he was so ablo an advocate and supporter, ho saw, we trust, firmly and se curcly established. Tho population of the country thickened around him faster, and extended wider, than his own sanguine pre dictions had anticipated; and the wealth, respectability and power of'the nation sprnn'g Up to a magnitude, w hich it is quite impos sible he could have exnectud to witness in his day. He lived, also, to behold those principles of civil freedom, which had been Ldeveloptd, established, and practically ap plied, in America attract attcntiuli, com mand respect, and awaken imitation, in other regions of the globe; and well might, and well did he exclaim, " Where will the consequences of tbe . AmericuiL .Revolution end!" If any thing yet remain to fill his cup of happiness, let it be.ndded, that he lived to see a great and intelligent people bestow the highest honor iii their gilt, where he had bestowed his own kindest parental af- foctiunst and lodged-Jiis-fuiidust liopes. Ihus honored in lite, thus happy at death, he saw the Jubilee, and he died ; and with the last prayers which trembled on his lips, was the fervent supplication for his country " I.DEJ!EAPEXCE.F011EVKIt"7 From the time of his final retirement from public life, in 1807, Mr. Jefferson lived as became a wise man. Surrounded by affectionate friends, his ardour in the pursuit of knowledge undiminished, with uncommon health, and unbroken spirits, ho was ajile to enjoy largely the rationul pleasures of life, and to partake in that public prosperity, which he had so much contributed to produce. His kindness and hospitality, the charm of his conversation, the case of his manners, the extent of his acquirements, and especially the full store of revolutionary incidents, which he pus. sessed, and which ho knew when and how to dispense, rendered his abodo in avhigh degree attractive to his admiring country men; while his public and scientific charac- edncaled traveller from abroad. Both Mr. Adams and Mr. Jefferson had the pleasure of knowing; that tho respect which they m largely received, was not paid to their offi cial stations. They were nut men made great by office, but groat men, on whom the country, for its own benefit had confer, red office. There was that in them, which office did uot give, and which the relin quishment of office did not; and could not, ako away. In their rejjr. nut inllst oTtheir fcTiow-eitizcns, themselves private citizens, they enjoyed as high re gard and esteem, as when filling the most important places of public trust. There remained to Mr. Jefferson vet one otlier work of patriotism and beneficence UKJ establishment of a University in his native State. To this object he. . devoted years of incessant and anxious attention, and, by the enlightened liberality of the legislature of Virginia,, and the co-opcrn. tion of other able and zealous friends, he lived to secjt accomplished.

"The mountaineers of aboriginal Arhe. rica, were the Chcrokces, who occupied the upper valley of the Tennessee river, as far west as the Muscle shoals, and the high lands of Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama the most picturesque and most salubrious region east of the Mississippi. Thcir homes were enriched by blue hills rising beyond hills, of which the lofty peaks would kindle with tlie early light, and the overshadow, ing ridges envelope the valleys like a mass ofclouds. There the rocky cliffs. rising in naked grandeur, defy the lightening, and mock tW loudest peals of tho thunder storm; there the gemler slopes are covered with magnolias and flowering forest-trees, "decorated" With "roving "cIiuib''rs7'aridrTng ' with perpetual note of tho whip-poor-will; there the wholesome water gushes profuse. Iy from the earth in transparent springs; snow white cascades glitter on the hill sides; and the rjvers, shallow, but pleasant to tho eye, rush through tho narrow vales which the abundant strawberry crimsons, and coppices of rhododendron and flaming nza lea adorn. At the fall of the leaf, the fruit of tlie hickory and chesnut is thickly scat tered on the ground. The fertile soil teems with luxuriant herbage, on which the roe. buck fattens; vivifying breeze is laden with fragrance; andtlay. break is ever welcomed by the shrill cute; of the social night-hawk and the liquid carruls. of the mocking-bird. Through this lovely rcgioj were scattered the little villages of the Chcrokces, nearly fifty in number, each consisting of'but a few cabins, erected where the bends in the mountain stream offered ut once a defence and a strip of alluvial soil for culture. Their towns are always by the side of some creek or river, and they loved their nativo l'ind, above'nll, they loved its rivers the Keo wec, the Tugeloo, the Flint, and the beau tiful branc1c3-Tjf ThorTemrcssce. Krmnirrg waters, inviting to tho bath, tempting the angler, alluring the wild fowl, were neces sary to their paradise. Their language, like that of the Iroquois, abounds in vowels, and is destitute of labials. Its organization has a common character, but etymology, has hot yet been, ablo to discover eonclu. sive analogies botweeji the roots of words. The ' beloved 1 .people of the Chcrokces wore a nation by . themselves. Who can say for how mnny centuries, safe in their undiscovered fastnesses, they had decked their warchiefs with tho feathers of tho eaglo's tail, and listened to the counsels of their 4 old beloved men'?
