Mb. Editor: Every excursion party gen
erally baa ita correspondent, who is expected,
for the benefit of themselves and their friends,
to report pnblicly what they have seen, and
sometimes what they haven't seen.
And now since all of the Salisbury Excur
sion Party have returned safe and sound, over
joyed with their grand trip, to touch so that
some already are talking ol a next year's trip of
the same kind; to complete it I prepare to give
you a short sketch, imperfect as it may be, of
our route, the scenes, incidents, dec, therewith
connected.
Leaving Salisbury on Wednesday morning of
the 14lh, ult., as we did with music sweet and
colors gay, we reached at twelve o'clock MilL
Bridge, where our county representative and
former enterprising townsman, Mr. J. S. Mc
Cubbins resides, there we fed and dined.
Two nV.o.-k found ns again on the road. To-
w.irtM t' e i-.iweof e evening as we ueaqjj
the iiule vili (e uf MvrMviIle we met large
crowds of people on their way home, and upon
inquiry of what was up, we found that they
had been attending the .speaking, and as we
entered the village with the band playing "The
camels are coming." who should we meet but
our honest and noble representative, of whom
we are so proud, the Hon. Wm. M. Bobbin's,
who had just closed one of bis telling two hour
speeches tor Convention. lie came out and
gave us all a hearty shake of the hand. Our
excellent Luit. Gov Armfield had also made
oneof his convincing speeches there that day.
Stopping only a few minutes in Moorsville, we
started again upon our journey: ere long dark
and angry clouds were seen gathering in the
West, and soon a drenching rain was upon us
with all Us fury, but still we drove on until
the shades of night began to fall, when find-

en, every thing was still as death, what a grand
view, how sublime: "Language fails before the
spell. On the left was chimney rock, a lone rock
205 feet high deriving its name from its near
likeness to a chimney, in the centre was a huge
rock 250 feet from top to base, and to the right,
the grandest of all was Hickory Nut Falls, a
stream about 9 feet wide falling over a precipice
960 feet. 'Long before it reached the bottom it
becomes spray, npon which the rays of the sun
falls, forming a thousand little rainbows, danc
ing in the sun light.
As far as the eye could reach, was stretched
out a vast panorama of mountains, vast chain,
around how far, above how high, below how
deep! while below oar feet flowed the beautiful
Broad (whose banks were lined with beautiful
trees, herbs and flowers of all kinds and every
description) flowing on and on with gentle
murmur, nnii! it with the Catawba forms the
iSauiej?, out; ol' in1 fit river of South Carolina.
How beautiful, how rattd, how sublime : the
Broad river to our idea of the beautiful, Falls
to our idea of the grand, and huge masses of
rock to our idea of the sublime all placed there
by the Almighty's hand, as a material manifes
tation to lead our souls to heavenward aspira
tion. After going up the Hickory Nut Gap three
miles we turned to the left passing .through
Reedy Patch Gap the nearest way to Hender
son vilie, along which we think there is some of
the wildest and most romantic scenery in the
World.
We crossed the Reedy Patch creek, a beauti
ful little stream flowing down the mountain
side, singing as it flows in sweet acord with
zepher's breeze nature's song of happiness, thir
teen times ; and reached Hendersonville that
evening, and encamped near the Episcopal

which to sleep.
We found that we were camping in the cor
ner where three counties joined together, not
far from the spot where the brave and patriotic
Gen. Davidson of revolutionary fame gave up
his life in defense of his beloved country.
The next morning bright and early we were
upon the road, crossing the noted old Beaties
i Ford, which broilght up many reminiscences of
the past; wc struck for Lincolnton which we
reached at two o'clock. There we were met by
our excellent and hand, o me Dr. Griffithwho
by his wit and humor enlivened the crowd con
siderably. "Bjd not aaeaJh'ng so much as to dai"
as his adding so much to the music.
As we passed the outskirts of the old and
historic town of Lincolnton, on the roadside was
a beautiful residence, upon the veranda of which
stood a most beautiful young lady, who as wc
passed made us a bow which would have been
admired in the court of Charles I, and of course
our gallant. Captain ordtred a halt, and?
ing one of his best pieces gave her some of the
best music that was made on the trip, therefore
to return the compliment she sent out some
splendid wine and good old rye, which was a
very agreeable surprise; yes, Miss Guion created
an indelible impression upon some ot our
hearts, and some uo doubt have been oft repeat
ing to themselves,
"Sweet girl though only once we met,'
That meeting I shall ne'er forget."
The second night we pitched our tents in
regular camp "tyle, and we found sleeping upon
the ground much better than sleeping upon the
floor.
By the next day aUwelve we reached Cleve
land Springs, a place for which nature has done
every thing, art nothing. The water was the
finest we have ever seen-r-so strong that the
white sulpher could be seen in the bottom of
the Spring. There were only about fifty visitors
there,. but a great many more were expected.
Leaving there we passed through the beauti
ful little village of Shelby, where we met sever
al old friends who treated us very kindly.
We camped that night at McBrayers, well
known place in that country, where we got a
most excellent supper and breakfast for forty
cents a piece, and as it was the first time we had
taken our meals out of camp. I don't think he

which all rested quietly, except one of the par
ty who had the misfortune to dream that the
blue-devils with the fiddle and the hand and the
old banjo and with dancing and singing were ;
making gay sport around him, when looking
up he saw a beautiful white cross descending at
which he immediately made a grasp, and was
sudden! v awakened with a severe pain in the
back of his head, and found himself flat on the
floor instead of the bench upon which he had
at first laid himself.
Leaving our baggage at Hendersonville we
went out to Flat Rock, a great place of resort
for South Carolinians ; wei.ted the residence
of Rev. J. G. Draylair which stands on the
summit of a small mountain, the most beauti
ful place we have ever seen ; from the back of
his house there is terrace after terrace until it
reached at its foot a beautiful little lake; in
front of his house are flower beds laid off in the
most magnificcnistvle, and containing flowers
ol" every kind, the most beautiful.
Mr. Dray tair is an Episcopal minister, who
with his whole parish removed during the sum
mer months from Charleston S. O. to Flat
Rock.
Throughout the whole country for miles and
miles on every hill side are residences of the
same kind.
Coming back to H. we left in the even
ing on our road to Asheville. About five miles
from Hendersonville we passed a beautiful
place belonging to Col. Courtland, who with his
family removed from Baltimore and built him
a house with all modern improvements. Just be
low his house wa a large and beautiful meadow
upon which five mowers were playing. Col.

Feed Hogs in Warm Weather.
The Journal of Agriculture says that
the pmci ice of taming hogs into the woods
to make their own living till cold weather,
and theu shotting them up aud feeding
them on eorn alone ia a very expensive
way of making pork. To be sure, tke
summer feed costs nothing ; bat then, as
a general fact, the hogs make very little

cause cotton n quiring clean culture tbe
laud is in better tilth, and fewpr furrows
are necessary. The bauds while picking
cotton during the winter will trample
opon the sprigs, and make iL-mq stool out
better therefor. Sheep will winter on
oa's iu a cotton field and never molest the
cotton till they have eaten up the oats.
Where cotton is the exclusive crop,
there is uo little vexation and harrassiug
doubts at harvest time to him who ven
turer to sow small grain. In June the
cotton and eorn need the attention of the
lob.uer constantly. Hence, tbe policy,
almost necessity, of interesting the labor
er in the ownership at least of the oat
crop. A fair contract, in this regard, is
for the employer to furnish the seed, f r
tilixer, and land, and require the employee
to supply the labor of seeding aud bar
versting, and at harvest time divide tbe
crop, oue-fourth to the laborer and three
forths to the employer. An acre of land,
producing twei.ty bushels of oats, would
thus give the laborer five bushels of. oats

The growth should be made aa rapid
as possible daring the warm weather. It
should lp remembered by ewery pork
raiser that a g.ven amount of feed will
produce larger results in summer than to
w mter. In winter a large amount of vi
tality ia eipended ia resisting the eold,
and therefore sn increaso of teed is requir
ed jnet to sustain tho system iu a healthy
condition.
To promote the growth of hogs during

Neither eorn nor any other carbonaceous
food should be fed to hogs in Urge quan
tities in bot weather, yet it tbey are per
mitted to feed on clover, corn iu moderate
quantities will be as good as auy other
teed. But the principal point we would
make is that the hogs should be fed all
through the summer, so that when the
cool weather of August comes tbey will
be tound iu a thriving condition. If other
feed is scarce, lit the farmer commence
cutting up green corn for his hogs by the
first of August or even earlier- It will
be economy to do so. rather than to let
them go without till it ia ripe aud then
