C, August 47, 1854 In the last communication I spoke of the vicin ity of this place as furnishing a desirable resort for persons seeking a temporary refuge from the oppressive heat, and sickliness of the low country, and particularly to such as with the same view might desire to establish for themselves n perma nent summer abode. Next to heahhiness and fine scenery in general, perhaps the most desirable .. . , . W. . r thing in such a resort would be pleasant society, and agreeable drives. As to ihe first of these, little can at present be said. A few choice ami- lies are within convenient distance, but not enough to make it particularly an object. But visitors of , either description would of course create a society for themselves, independent of any existing in t lie however, would a person discover anything re neighborhood.

You are iust ! w . from their cottages, iho caltle grazing or lying at ease in the shade, the laborers at toils be fining the season of the year. You hear, it may be, their loud laugh aod merry song the dinner horn call ing them from labor to repose the bark of lhe house dog ihe bleating and lowing of the flocks and herds. Far to the south the horizon present ing an outline even as the surface of a quiet sea, you see several beautiful peaks rising up in regular even cones as if directly out of some vast plain. i Tho whole effect is striking and beautiful. Near at hand, as if little beyond the foot of thi moun tain lies the village, its numerous nicely painied houses, particularly its very neat church, contrast ing sweetly with lhe dark hues of the foliage, while farther to the North you see the town of ; Morganton, nnd here and ;here catch a slight glimpse of lhe Catawba. Directly to the West the Table Rock, one of the most remarkable nat ural cuiiosities in this or any oiher country, stands out in bold relief against the clear sky, ond farther to the North the monarchs of the Blue Ridge rear their lofty forms towering above every thing from New Brunswick to California, though most of them too distant from this point to produce much effect. I have gazed upon t his scene till my heart was full ol deep and quiet pleasure full of God, and hope, and immortality till 1 become absorbed and lost, and the tears started to my eyes, why, if asked, it had been perhaps impossible to tell.

Who has not felt something of this? Others, perhaps, may witness the whole with little or no emotion, but to me it has always been a scene of deep and absorbing interest, on which I could gaze and gaze and turn to gaze again. T. S. W.

The Cenerul is a fine specimen of lhe Southern gentleman, living in patriarchal ease I and dignity like tho others above named, upon the nroceeds of his broad acres and numerous - j - - - - - seat in the House of Commons, during the next session of our Legislature. A wiser seleclion could not have been made. Few men are pos sessed of so large a share of sound, practical common sense, farsightedness, moral courage, firmness, and integrity. No man understands belter the resources of Western North Carolina, or indeed of the whole State, and the. means ne cessary to their development, nor is thore any, whose opinion on legislative questions connected wilh these points, is more highly emitted to confi- dence and respect.

It might be further slated as an inducement to visiting t his part of the country in summer or es tablishing a residence here, that it places you within a verv few hours reach of almost any climate ' you con desire.

New York Ttmcs. BuFFAtOEs by the Acse. A member of Gov ernor Stephen's .Northern Route exploring party, in a long communication to the Si. Louis K pub j lican, written from the head of Yellow Sione River, I savs of the incidents of lhe party thus far: 4-On , Sundav, alter a march of some 10 miles, the buf faloes were re c! eJ. They were before and on each side of the train. For miles ahead it seemed one vast drove yard. They were es'imaied by soma as high as 500,000200,000 is considered as a very low estimate. Drawing up the train at our usual halt at noon, a large herd were about a half a mile ahend. The hunters, six in number, were immediately despatched, well mounted on spore horses, reserved for lb it especial purpose, and the whole Iraih had an opportunity to witness a buffalo hunt. The hunters dashed in among iho herd, picket out lhe fattest of the crowd, and then, separoling lhe selected ones from I lie herd, soon despatched them. In on hour Ihe wagons were sent but a small distance from the route, to receive lhe choicest pieces of the buffalo. In the i lwo days' march the hunters were kept some distonce ahead, to keep off the buffaloes; it was the only w-ay the sofe passage of the Iroin could be insurred through tlie sea of flesh. The pack mules and spare animals following on the train be ing too numerous to be separately led, were hard to control ; and despite every precaution and cure. ! one horse and foiir mules wero lost they getting i :..i., ...:.t. . u i i i.i r. i mingled with the herd. Every effort was made to reclaim ihem- hours spent in their attempted recovery. The effort was usele.-is.

The Chinese secret order, called the " Triad' has been so frequently mentioned of Inte jrtajaj our accounts from California and lhe East, that dq doubt many of our readers will be glad to knot something of its character. From a recem published in a Paris paper, called "La Pairie,"i seems that the Chinese name of this order i st . ho-heei, and that the meaning of it is i4lheSoc. ty of the United Three, or of the Triud, that iit say, ol heaven, earth and man." There is a d t nctive budge to be worn by the members, hht they dare do so. It is a hluo silk scarf tipped with thread luce, bur as they are always . i. .. - - r :. lo tho lartar government of China, il is rattier! j dangerous badge to wear.
