Water is always abundant ail over the high lands in that Stale. The high lands thus described may be taid to embrace an area,1 which in ex teul would be nearlv or quite equal to one hundred miles scjare; the higher the elevation, lire cooler the climate in summer.. There i probably no location iu the State more healthy than round al out Abbeville, Buncombe coun ty; and it is just and proper to say that in Haywood, Jackson, and .f aeon counties, also iu iladison and cither counties in that vicini ty; the climafe i- a health-giviug as at Ashtv ville ; we mention Asheville because that lias be-n the abode of wealth and refinement, jit I: as been a favorite report for jiersous of weak lunfjA and other disease, and many, scientific observation have been made tliere.

Much copper, silver, gold, iron andother metals are found in Macon and other counties aloug, and near the'BIne Kidge mountains, extending nearly parallel to' that part of the Appalachians, here termed Iron or Smoky mountain.)

I Of the . agricultural resources of Western North Carolina, 1 would 'say that although much of the ' table lands lying -two tc; three thousand feet of more above the oeean,pread tout in areas of very considerable extent, and the surface as level as need oe uesirea xor farming, yet there are mountains rising high above those tablelands, some of them1 rising wto over sit thousand 'feet' above the ocean, the soil rich all'lhe way up and pit tho top jof the mountains, there are mne steep preci pices and rocky cliffs. I remember to have een in several places' where the ascent j to the tops "of the mountains, seemed to be. very easy'of access on all sides ' but one, and, a steep- precipice on" that-side..-, Those- stqep mountain sides are-very excellent for sheep and "goats, and much of 4t good,, for the cAil ture of grapes. , ;!.;.; (,., . ; ". . i There is much .uncultivated hind m that country, and I he hill tide,' as, welt as the val leys w:ben not cultiyated, and not too thickly oo'vered witli timber, arc thickly covered wjth excellent tall grasses along tlie hill sides and to the very tops, whero many thousands of cr ttle, fcheeff goats of horses niay graze1 and keep fat nearly all the rear found without any care or attention over them except to call them up occasionally and giyejthem salt, many of the hill sides and hill tops are cov ered with perpetual yefduri.' Cattl," sheep, and, hogs can at all 'seasonsv and, times 'gel tides are not enumerated in the statistics - of Jackson county just quoted, neither (does the yeild of Hay seem to be large in the -statistics,1 Tiie fact is that the farmers jhave so little need to' feed cattle that they have given very little attention to hay making.1 ;1 will hero make a few quotations from tlie' statis tics j, of other unties, Viz: In Buncombe county Oats' aifil Bye 150,000 bushels, ;But ter 125,000 poumls, iWool 150,000 j pounds, Ginseng $1 8000- worth. !

I might make many! more qnotatidns that would be extremely interesting to tlie public, but this article will become more voluminous thanl had intended if I am not careful. If I am correctly informed North Carolina is the only; State in the Uniou with a climate so varied iu the! different portions of the - State that: within the limits' ot that Mat every kind .' of grain, vegetable, shrub and fruit will thrive and do well that can be produced lo peneciion 111 any part 01 tne . tjmieu States, and fflus I think is not true of any other one State. ;; ' !- '' . ' ; As I must of necessarily condense so much iuto a small space iu this article there .may be some facts omitted of greater importance than some items which I have , mentioned. The Vesterh part of this' State is well adapt ed to the growth of tobacco, flax and hemp. I havie never seen a bettor country for raising fowls of nearly all kinds. The chickens I saw were exceedingly healthy, and wjld birds are seen there in extraordinary abundance. Deer and other wild game arc plenty.! j 'Tliere are some wild beasts . there, but i they win soon disappear as the country becomes more thickly , settled. 1 have never known auy Honey, ul "and ;ollected in the four counties last men tioned mauy kinds of minerals interesting -to other locality soprolilic in Bees and as the. wild flowers of many beanti pleasant scented varieties are in the greatest abundaneeLj As cows can be so easily raised there immense quantities of thehi with so little trouble, and as honey is so exceedingly plentiful there, it may emphatically be said to be ia, land flowing irith milk and honey. The corn also grows large and ''plentiful,' one hundred ' to one hundred and fifty j bushels perjacfe is reported in .the statistics ;iri some otahtius, also COO bushels of L-jsli potatatoes to the acre.. .Irene and Ud can also be le there in great abundance. The Cataw ba Grape 'wHs originally found growing 'Wild rieaf'W Asheville. - '''- ":- 'It is a fact worthy .of note that ' Western j N.
