T. L CUngmaa. We take the following, interesting and valuable letter from a pamphlet just publish ed at New York, by the "American Agricul tural and Mineral Land Company" : Nkw ohk. June Uth, 1SU7. To Wm. Friiiier, Km , I'rtni'lent ;' thr.AHirr- iciin Affrimltuntl and Miarrul hind Cutit- pong, JWie YmI. Dkar Sib : The short perio.l iluring which I expect to remain in thin city, an. I the pressure of business- engagements, will prevent my rrplyvo at lenifih to your in quiries in relkliou to the wett. ru part ol North Carolina For a gn-st many years I have resided on the west side of the Blue Kidge, the range of mountains which divides the wutcrs full ing into the Atlantic from tli.wc descending to the Mississippi Utver. Having for more than sixteen years been a B. presentutive or Senator in Congress from tliAl region, I u.l in my cauvasses to visit every part ot it I have al- ascended the principal moun tains for the purpose of meiiiiiriiii! or ol. erviug them, while tuy fondness lor g.-ol ogy anil mineralogy bas mm. .1 me into al mtlevtry valley. My general arquaiot ance, therefore, with this entire region, prohably exc.eds that of any other ihtm.ii. It may be regardeil as an elevated lal. It land of more than two hun.lre.1 mil. in length, with an average breadth ol fitly miles, and i crossed in iliflcrt -it directions liy many mountain chains. The height of the lower Vallevs may Is state. I as landing from two thousand to twenty-five hundred Icit aUivc the level of the sea. while the priucipal mountain chains rise tour thou a tnd teet higher. This elevation, imtwiih standinu Its southern latitude, gives it a Irlighttul summer climate Mr. Wm M.-llowell, who iimle ol.s. rv a tit. us for tbe Suiilhsouiau Instilute. at A-lic-ville, tor several years, informed uie th.,t tile thermometer during the warmest sum mer weather did not rise abtue eightt two degree Fahrenheit. Even the climate ol Switzerland is not equal to that of this re gion : not only st Uenevs. nut in me logo valley of Chaiuouuy. I once lound Hotter weather than I ever experienced in this sec tion ; while there, one is occasionally chilled in mid summer by cold blasts from the m assert of snow on the higher Alps. In wes tern North Carolina, none of the mountains are high enough to hear mow in summer, yet the region is sufficiently elevated to at ford a climate which is coofc. ..try, i.rn-ing and exceedingly exhilarsting. No country is more healthy, lieing alike tree irom rue diseases ot miasmatic regions, as well ss those common in rigorous or damp cli mates. I What awprcially distinguishes this section from all other mountain regions thai 1 hate seeu, is tbe general fertility of lis soil. This is true, not onlv with relerence to us vallevs. but also of it mountains: Their sides and even tops are generally covered with a thick vegetable iuoul.1, on w lneti the largest trees and grasses grow luxuri antly. At an elevation of five thousand feet above the ocean, the grasses and weeds are to rank a to remind one ot the swampy land of tbe lower regions. On the lops. and for a considerable distance down the sides ot the higherchaius, there are severid vaiieties of evergreen or "winter ras. us thev are ifenerallv called there. These are so nutrition that cattle are kept in g.to.l contlition on them all the winter. A friend of mine belore the war kept four or five hundred homed cattle ou one ol these mountains, nd with theexoeptuHi thai they wi re supplied with salt ficcasionally, they subsisted entirely lotli in summer and w in fer on those grasses. The older cattle, be assured me, soon learned to understand the effect of the seasons, aud without lieing driven, they led the herds, in the spring, down the sides of the mountains to obtain the young grasses that came np with the warm weather, and, when these were de tro)ed by the autumn fnstfs, they returned to tbe top to gel tne evergreen vegetation, and foond shelter under the spreading branches of the balsam fir trees iu stormy weather. I have seen in Hay wood Connty a five year old boras that was said to Uav been foaled and reared entirely on the top ot Balsam Mountain, and waa then for the first time brought down to see cultivate.! land and eat tood grown by tbe hand of man. Those portions of tbe mountain that are without timber are, of course, covered by the thickest coats of grass. The balsam tree which cover for so great an extent the Great Smoky, Balsam, and Black Moun tains, could be easily gotten rid 01 at a ist of not more than a couple of dollars per acre. It ia so soft a to be easily cut, and it felled and uffered to lie a few months, its leaves would become quite dry, and it knight be burned with the greatest facility. When tnn n.woyeti, iv woum ion npm.g ap again but in it atead a very thick wrd ot evergreen grass. Immense wintet, pas lure could iu this way be prepared, and thousands ot cattle thus sustained in the winter, with only an occasional supply of aalt Where tbe lands in this part of the State are placed o rider proper cultivation, thoy produce abundantly. On choice spots, more than one hundred bushels to the acre of Iudian com has frequently lieen obtained, and this valuable grain is everywhere pio duced in mlflcient quantity. Wheat, also, doe well, while oats, rye and barley are particularly good. It is eecially auilcd to the production of grasse., timothy, orchard and herd grass, or red top being usually preferred. Clover ami blue grass grow well, but are not so good as In some Counties having more lime iu the soil, Last summer I went with Mr. N. W. Woodfin over a mountain firm of bis ; the land of which had originally cost him lea than one dollar per acre. It had been cleared by culling out the undergrowth, and girding the arge timlajr so as to deaden it, anil then put in grass, nearly twenty year previously. It was covered over with . .hick irrowth of timothy and orchard grass, much of whichappeared a thick and as tall as a fair wheat field. In some places we found liotb of these grasse risiug high enough, as we sat on our horses, for u lo take the top of tbe talks growing on eaci) aide, and cause them to meet above the wither ot our hone.
