Fayetteville, Oct. y, 1860. t>Uif A PRAIRIE. Mr. Woods, the correspondent of the London ' Times, thus describes the prairie: “It is easy for any of your readers to imagine a prairie; it is next to impossible to describe one. ' Leave Dwight behind you, and walk out to the east till all sight and sound of the little village is lost in the distance, and then look round you. There is a huge, undulating ocean of long, rich arass and flowers, which the warm, soft wind keeps in a gentle Tipple. There is not a sound but the shrill chirping of millions of cricketsj not a shrub or bush to break the dead level of the distant horizon; nothing to vary the widespreap .sea of verdure but its own masses of bright wild flowers, over which gorgeous butterflies keep always i skimming on noiseless wings. This is the prairie. “About a mile or so ahead is a slight but very perceptible rise in the ground, and you push on : for this to get a good look about you. There is, . of course, no track, and j’our way lies through the prairie grass, now little more than breast high, but in the spring almost over your head. You Stride through eluiupsof resin and compass weeds; through patches of blue,yellow, and purpleflowere; through thyme and long rich grass with tall, tufted, reedy plants in the midst, which attract your notice at once. It is the rattlesnake weed, always most plentiful where this deadly reptile abounds, and the root of which, with immense doses of corn whiskey, is said, under certain favorable contingencies, to have averted fatal re sults from the bites of very small reptiles of this class. Where the snake weed is plentiful, be ware and look out well for the snakes too. You cannot walk far through the prairie on a hot morning without hearing the dry, sharp, hissing rattle of one of these deadly serpent?, as with his tail so quickly vibrating that you can scarcely ’ distinguish its end, and with the lean, hungry- looking head erect, it moves sluggishly away in We intend to search of a place where it may repose and bask undisturbed. Such dangerous occupants of the grass are common in the prairies, and may, with prairie wolves, and sometimes deer, be seen within a stone’s throw of the houses of Dwight itself But all this while you are plod ding through the grass, turning aside for one ntimite to look at the little prairie crabs which burrow down their holes some fifteen feet to the level of the water below the gravel, and into which they drop at once on the slightest sound of tilarm; or else you watch the coveys of prairie hens, as they rise with a whirr right and left, and go skimming along like grouse a little ahead of vou. At last you gain the summit ol a getitle rise, and can look around you for miles on miles in all directions, yet you are almost disappointed to find that you have gained nothing by your walk; that the same tremendous extent of meadow land, clothed with a rank luxuriance of grass and flowers, stretches away on every side till deep green fades into brown in the distance, and a line oi blackish- blue on the ocean, far, far out, marks where the horizon meets the sky. Yet the land is not all I Northern markets. level. It has a series of gentle undulations, of Plans and spccificatiotis furnished and the erectiou of long, sloping ridges, as if an inland sea, when buildings superintended when de.sired. slowly moving with a quiet, regular swell, had on IS NOW IX SUCCESSFUL OPEBATIOX.

The southern prairies are broken here and there by water courses, by clutups of cotton wood and groves of locust trees. Occasionally, though at rare inter vals, a little line of locust trees, looking like rocks in the great ocean of grass—occur in the vast prairie lands of Illinois—and mark where pools i»f water may be found. These variations, are but fV’w, and after a journey in the green wilderness a tree almost startles you as something out of size colored Piiotogr.iph;- made from small jiictures. ii breath of wind ripples its whole surface into Having permanently located here I hope to merit breakers of verdure, which even in the calmest your patronage. 1 would also return my sincere thanks .j-ivs 'ives such an aspect of life and animation for the lil)eral patronage bestowed on me heretofore by i -i . i i the good people of FafetteviDe and vicinity. deserted lands.

Travel on for miles and miles, for days and nights; pass from Illinois, across the broad turbid waters of the Mississippi, into the slave State of .Missouri ^journey tor hundreds and hundreds of leagues, as you may do here, yet not quit for a single ^ay these monstrous grassy wastes, these perpetual land claims, in which a silence as great as that upon the sea seems always to remain unbroken. ‘‘The inexperienced person, however, must be careful how he ventures on these luxuriant steppes alone. Let him but lose sight of his faint land marks, and make one or two incautious turns, and he will instantly find himself engaged in a game of blindman’s buflF on a most unpleasant scale, and must catch what way he can back again. In vain you search for the track you have made through the long grass. A breath of wind is sufficient to conceal it from your inexperienced eyes, though a week afterwards an Indian runner could follow it up with as much ease as if it were a paved road. Vou push forward in what you think a straight course, but it is ten to one that you only make huge circles round the place from which you sUirted, and it is then that the etenuil solemn silence of these great plains becom^'al onjy impressive but almost alaming, when ev^Ffresh effort to strike a track only increases your weari- ne.ss, and you feel yourself a helpless prisoner in these huge, bright smiling solitudes. Fortunate ly, none go on the prairie for the first time with out bring shown in case of such mishaps the ijroups of compass weed which abound all over the plains, and the broad flat leaves of which piint due north and south witli an accuracy as un varying as that of the magnetic needle itself. And thus with the aid of the.se useful little weeds aud the sun's,course, you may make tracks across the broadest prairie with the moat unerring ceruintj.’
