HINSDALE : SKETCH OF TRAVEL. Correspondence of the Charleston. Courier. Asheville, N. C-, Sept. 23, 1848. Before my departure from Flat Rock, I joinetl a party that was about to visit the falls of Little River. After having pro ceeded far about three miles, we came to the country seat and farm of Col. M. 11 Singleton, whence we had the Crstgood view of Pinnacle Mountain, rising boldly up about two thousand feet above ilie val ley. Standing on some overhanging cliff's, from a point on this ' mountain, a most beautiful and extension bird's eye view of the surrounding country is obtained. Un der your feet you can trace the windings of the different vallies, studded with their farms, whilst beyond them the view is on ly bounded by the distant Mountains over topping each other in sublime grandeur. In the west, about forty miles off, there is the Hogback Mountain, celebrated of late years by the extraordinary richness of the gold mines found on the acclivities. Next came the Balsam Mountains, which obtain their name from the face of being densely covered with the balsam fir, while at their feet lies the Looking Glass Mountain, a miniature of the Table Mountain in South Carolina, being nothing but a precipitous "rock on three of its sides, which being moistened by the small rills trickling over it, brightly reflects the rajs of the sun, and thus acquires its name. The Balsam Range is terminated towards the North by l'isgah Mountain, whose high conical peak, bare of all the appearance of. an extinct volcano. Next in the distance, appeals the blue outline of the Smoky Mountain, in lennessee, whilst m tront rises up the nearer range of the Black Mountain?, proud of its ovei towering attitude over every other Mountain in the United States. To the right, the valley and the flat table land be tween Flat Rockand the Blue Ridge unroll themselves, the small Mountains about it appearing mere hillsocks from this heighth, and a white speck here and there marking out some of the summer residences, amist which is the small village of Henderson ville. The view beyond is bounded by the Bear Wallow, Sugar Loaf and Tryon Mountains ; between the last two appears in the distance, what at first sight would be almost taken fortdistant monument, so high and slender does the blue ridge arise, shaped like an obelisk it is the Grand father Mountain in Burke County, about eighty miles oft. So much for the front view from Pinnacle ; but in turning round the scene changes, overlooking the Saluda Mountains, a vast sea of level land meets your eye endless and monotonous as the sea itself, except where some undulation of the ground, such as Paris Mountain, near Greenville, slightly relieves the same ness of the view 'lhe latter village, however, can only be distinguised by the aid of a good telescope. Leaving Pinnacle Mountain, with all its beauties, behind us, we proceeded until we got about two miles from Flat Rock, when we left the road that leads to Csesar's Head, and turning to the left began to as cend the mountain, following the valley, if it could be so called, ot Shoal Creek, a small stream that comes rushing down a gorge of the mountains, shooting and leap ing over its rocky bed, and falling about three hundred feet, in as many hundred hemlocks that margins, as pretty glimpses of miniature waterfalls as could be well de sired. Passing a Saw Mill, picturesquely situated on the top of the pecipice, we pro ceeded some two miles further, having but one inconsiderable ridge to get over, when tbe distant roar of the waters told us that we were approaching the Falls of Little River. Crossing some distance below them, ami ascending the road on the op posite hill, we soon had them in full view. The river, though I suppose not more than eighty or a hundred feet wide, seem to possess a considerable volume of water, which flowing smoothly till within the edge of the fall, came pitching down over a hundred feet in heighth. For about two thirds of the way, the rock having just in clination enough to lash the waters into an unbroken mass of foam, beyond that point it broke off abruptly, allowing them to leap madly down, unobstructed into the pool below. We stood gazing at it for some time in silence, s much were we surprised and entranced by the unexpected beauty and grandeur of the scenery. The fall itself, dashing so irresistibly over the rocks was beautiful, almost beyond conception, whilst the dark frame work of hemlocks, oaks and rhododendrons, on its sides, with the small mill above it, formed a picture worthy of the painter's most poetic dream. We were determined not to go oft" without making a nearer acquaintance with its beauties. So winding round to the top, we re-crossed the river at a ford opposite the mill, and descendtngby a small foot-path on the east side of the river, soon stood immediately below the falls. I wish that 1 could do justice with my pen to the surpassing love liness of the prospect that' there met our eyes, but the wonders ot nature are not to be described, and I will not attempt it. Not having any precise means of ascertain ing the heighth of the falls, various surmises were hazarded on the subject, but we only versified the old adage, that 'Doctors will differ" as our estimates varied from one to two hundred feet 1 presume the gol den mean " would come nearer the troth. We were told that about a mile above, there was another fall, where the . river, leaping over a overhanging rock, formed a natural arch under which it could be crossed in safety but we had not time to visit it, so we retraced our steps homeward, well satisfied with our excursion. I won der tlmt those falls are not better known, as they are of such easy access They are about 12 miles from' Fiat Hoc k, and 10 fromCa?sars Head, on the most direct road, though not very well suited to carriages ; but strong springs and good driving will easily carry you through, not forgetting a competent guide. The main road, how ever, approaches either way, w ithin two or three miles of the falls, and the timid can leave their carriages at this point, to go round about six miles, and proceeding themselves on horseback, visit the falls and fall into the main road again before their carriages have accomplished the circuit. The weather for the last three weeks has been most delightful, though, rather cool. We had this morning, I believe, the first frost of the season- yards, iiivinr amidst the fringe its REASONS FOR COMING BACK. Dr. Samuel A. Cartwright, of Mississip pi, who zealously supported Clay in 1844, is now an ardent supporter of Cass and Butler. The Mississippian publishes a speech recently delivered by Dr. C, in which he gives his reasons for changing his position. After stating that he left the party in '44, under mistaken impressions as to the kind of tariff the democrats proposed to adopt, and finding out his mistake when that splendid monument, the advalorcm tariff of 1846, was adopted, Dr. Cartwright says: I have come back to the democrats, because the party has adopted a judicious tariff',1 the very thing I wanted a tariff which brings in more revenue than that of 1842, and is better calculated to encourage every branch of American industry, reliev ing the consumer of all taxes heretofore paid to the monopolist, and placing our manufacturing system on a more durable and solid basis than it has ever before rested upon. I have come back to the democratic par ty because I want to belong to a party which is whole and entire for its country, and no fragment for the enemy ; a party not only fighting, but acting, talking, wi-io-htinjr. and votin" for its country. Vot mg Mexico in the right and the United States in the wrong, would not be voting for my country, unless I lived on the other side of the Rio Grande. A verdict at the polls against those who advocated the war, .would be equivalent to a declaration by the American people that they had been wag ing an unnecessary, aggressive and bloody war against an innocent and unoffending sister republic to despoil her f her territo ry. So far is this from being true, that if Mr Clay had been elected in 1844, instead of Mr Polk, the whigs have a much less exalted opinion of that statesman than the democrats, if they believe that the Mexi can invaders ot American soil would have fared much better under his administration than under Mr Polk's. He would have sent the same generals to drive them back and pursue them Taylor and Scott. When he found the Mexican forces advanc ing upon Texas, Mr Clay is too wise and too much of a patriot to have cooped up his warriors at Corpus Christi until the Mexi cans had occupied all the favorable posi tions on the Rio Grande, but like Mr Polk, he would undoubtedly have given Gen- Taylor orders to advance to that riy cr; telling him, at the same time, that it was the b iundary of Texas according to Mr Jefferson and all the best authorities, including himself. In proof that the ques tion of the justice and necessity of the war is only an after thought, got up for political effects, let the whigs themselves be called on to bear witness. For when the war first broke out they were on fire to avenge their country's wrong. I have come back to the democratic par ty because I love Gens. Taylor, Scott, Butler, Quitman, Twiggs, Worth, Shields, Smith, Price, Lane, and Cols. Doniphan, Harney, Jef. Davis, McClung, Bradford, and all those who have won tame and hon or and laurels in the Mexican war. If the American people are betrayed in to the error of pronouncing the war unjust and unrighteous, to satisfy , the Corwin whigs, they will strip Gen. Taylor and his compatriots in arms, of all the laurels he and they have so deservedly won. That no laurels can be gained in an un righteous cause is one of those primary laws of morals, unaltered and unalterable, and which no sophistry can conceal from the plainest understanding, if party preju dices be cast aside. The democrats are Gen. Taylor's best friends. His laurels are worth more than the Presidency. 1 have come back to the democratic par ty because the whig leaders, disregarding the solemn warning of .Washington, are making geographical distinctions a party test to catch votes. When they call on us of the south to vote for their candidate for Presidency because he is a southern roan, they fly iu the face of- Washington's faie veli address, and we are bound, if we love Washington and believe in his wisdom and patriotism, to frown down all such appeals to our local prejudices as unpatriotic, and unbecoming the leaders of any party whig or democrat. I have come back to the democratic par ty because Gen. Taylor, the whig candi date, has in a good degree given up the veto power, and is willing that a despotic ma jority in Congress , may do as it please, if i does not break the constitution, .Gen. Tayl or with much caudor confesses that he is no politician. If he were a politician and statesman, his good sense would readi ly lead him to perceive that ours is a gov ernment managed on entirely different prin: ciples from those governing an armv which he has all his life been used to. . " The veto is an attribute of sovereignty, and cannot be taken from the sovereign people without robbing them of a most im portant element of sovereignty. If the anti-veto doctrine be correct, the sovereign people of America occupy low er ground ami less power than the sovereigns of Eu rope. But if the democratic doctrine in regard to the veto be correct, the sovereign people of America occupy higher ground and hold power by a firmer grasp, than any sovereign in the world. The chief execu tive officer of the United States is the agent or prime minister of the sovereign people, to carry into effect the veto. Tiie agent of the sovereign people who occupies the Presidential chair, has no right to sur render the veto it belongs to the people,, and is inherent in the office of Chief Mag istrate. No candidate for the office of President has a right to pledge himself be fore hand that he will not use it. It was attached to the office of President by the constitution to be used on proper occasions and consequently the President, who would refuse to use it on such occasions, would be unmindful of the duties of his office. I have come back to the democratic par ty because lam personally acquainted with Gen. Cass, the nominee of the Baltimore Convention, and believe him to be better qualified for the office of President, taking all things into consideration, than any oth er man in America. On the question of our southern institutions, his views are en tirely correct, or mine are all wrong be cause they are identical. He believes Congress has no right or authority to med dle with questions of negro slavery at all, either in the States or territories; and that each and every question, connected with that domestic institution, belongs exclu sively to the people of each State and each Territory, to settle as they deem best for their interests. If we, with Mr Yancey and some other politicians, contend that it devolves upon Congress to say that slavery shall exist in the territories, we give Congress the cor relative right to say that it shall not exist. The true democratic doctrine, the Cass doctrine is, that Congress has no right or authority to meddle with the question in any way. The people alone of each State or each Territory have that right. This is also the doctrine of the resolutions adopted by the late Baltimore Convention, which nominated Cass and Butler. As the Con stitution gives Congress no power over the institution of negro slavery, either to set it up or pull it down, that power remains an inherent undelegated right exclusively with the people of the territory. I have come back to the democratic par ty because I could not stay away, when my country is calling with trumpet tongue for union of the democracy for the sake of the Union; and calling with a voice, as if she would awake the patriotic dead, for union of all her true sons at the polls in Novem ber next for the sake of American glory, honor and justice, impeached by the Corwin whigs. I have come back to ths democratic par ty because I see standing on its principles, and, without fear or favor, hurling from its midst into the gulf of political infamy and disgrace, Van Buren and his barnbur ner followers, with heavy imprecations on their heads of violating democratic princi ples in disturbing the compromises of the constitution, and putting in jeopardy the Union of these happy States by nefariously bringing the proviso-fireband on the politi calarena; and I have left the wJiigs be cause Gen. Taylor, tacitly permits a large portion of his whig followers, north and west,' to use that unhallowed instrument of mischief, the proviso, as apoliticai tool, without a word of rebuke. I have come back to the democratic party because the whig leaders, distrusting the intelligence of the people, and believing they can be led to vote against their principles, "by a blind and heedless enthusiasm for mere military renown," have chosen a candidate whom they suppose to be more available on that very account, being lately brought into notice by the noise of his cannon a candidate so very destitute of political ex perience as'never to have voted in his life, and who confesses he knows nothing about the tempestuous and troubled waters of politics, having never made a voyage on them in any capacity,' and refuses to give pledges about what particular course he will steer the vessel of State, acknowledg ing that he does not know, bat let it be un derstood that if put at the helm, the whig crew may run the craft, or let her drift, as they please Fire is Pensacola. We regret to learn that a destructive tire occurred at Pensa cola on the 25th inst. , at 2 o'clock, laying a large portion of the city in ruins. We are not in possession of full particulars, but learn that about forty houses were burnt, including Mr Barclay's store near the wharf, and all the houses on the two blocks north. The fire crossed thence to Saragossa street, opposite the Florida house, which Was also burnt, with it is supposed, a large portion of its contents. . There was we learn no insurance upon the property destroyed. MURDER OF MA J. ADAM S. CAMP. We are called upon- to chronicle one of) the most hoa-pending and sou r-src Renin ft occurrences that falls to the lot of us fra mortals. Major Adam S. Cam of our village, was killed on Thursday evenings hyamancalLd Joseph Glenn, and under the following circumstances, so far as we can obtain them. Glenn .had, been,, ant 6 was at the time of the murder, in the em ploy of Maj Camp as Overseer on his far m,. some seven miles south uf Svinlanhnr cuuri House, Springs road. S. C , near the Glenrv Major Camp with his w ife and little daughter had been spending some. time at the Springs, and wr oiv- their way home in company with several ladies of our village, and his brother, Mr Wm. Camp, and family. When the company arrived near the farm, Major Camp re quested them to wait, as he desired to ride over to his place to give some directions to his negroes, which he did by getting on bi wife's horse and side saddle. W hen he arrived at or near the house of his Overseen he stopped, and whilst giving some direc tions to his old negro man, at the same time siiting on the horse, was shot Kfc tJia upper part of the breast with two balls from a rifle in the hands of said Joscpts Glenn, who had concealed himself in.a crib, some 50 yards distant, foe the- diabolical purpose. Major Camp fell dead in a mo ment, and as the old negro man started to. inform the company hard by of what was done, Glenn fired a musket with S9 bucit shot at him, though without effect. So soon as the distressing circumstances took place, and the murderer hd ffedv there gathered around the lamented one his little family and friends, whose an guish and distress can better be imagined? than described. He was broaglU imme diately to the residence of Col. Harris a our town, who is the father-in-law of Major Camp, at which place, on the following day, his funeral services were perrbrrnetF by the Rev. J. G. landrum, and his re mains were consigned to their last resting place in the grtve yard at this place.
