It is surprising that the mountains of Buncombe, the Switzerland of the United States, should not be a more favoured resort for iuvafids. The accommodatious. fbr tra vellers who are not over fastidious, are very fair, and the substantial fare of the country good enough for even'oaptious stomachs. That improvements in cookery to . the style of a city. life should., be found through the mountains, is hardly in reason to be expected many of the house keepers have not credit for their exertions to please, and sometimes become careless when they find their efforts to give satisfaction meet with exaggerated reports against their houses. The improve ments in the houses of entertainment in ten years that we have known them, are certain ly marked but Prench cooks and pates des fois grax are not yet introduced. Jesting apart, we really think injustice is done to worthy people by unreflecting visitors who expect too much, and are soured by disap pointment. We have been at tables well kept and furnished with neatness and varie ty, and found many present who were con stantly grumbling and frequently one in veterate grumbler will tincture a whole par-, ty, so liable are jiv'e in this world to join in with a fiack in running down any thing. The neighbourhood or Flat Rock is be coming more thickly settled every year, and beautiful fesidenccs are springing up on the adjacent mountains in all directions. For persons who are disposed to change the air in the summer, the top of the Blue Ridge is as pure an atmosphere as can be found. There has been very 'ftttle company in the mountains this season, the times aie so hard, and many who Jmve been in the habit of re sorting to this delightful country haVe the consolatipn of the afXrthVcary (in Romeo & Juliet,) ia remaining at home, " my pover ty and nfrtVvy will consents." . Having aspru a day at Flat Rock we de parted after dinner to Ahville? and never havq we enjoyed a more delicious 'airing. The sunlvas bright as it .-ever shone the air was balmy, and sweetly soft he breeze frcm the mountains gentle and steady, and the pleasure of the ride was much enhanced by the fine road ov'fr which we passed.

Ovjing- to some causes with whichwe arc unacquainted, the Commission ers on the part of Mexico did not arrive in this city, the place designated in the Con vention for their meetfng, until the' middle of August. Since the 17th of August, the Commis sioners have had regular meetings until with in a few days past, when they adjourned for a short time without having, established any rules for their future government in the ad judication of the multifarious claims that will be presented to their consideration. A painful anxiety is naturally felt on this sub ject by the claimants, to whose position the rublic cannot be supposed to be insensible. We are at a loss to imagine what difficul ties could have arisen to frustrate an object so indispensable to a judicial tribunal (in which light this Board of Commissioners must be considered) as fixed rules of action. Where tho responsibility rests for this procrastination, or rather from this omission to act at at', we are unable to determine. Judging of Jthe future by the past, we appre hend that the time designated in the. Con vention for the completion of, the labors of the Board will be far too short. Nat. Int. from the Columbia Chronicle. A WHITE MAN SOLD IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Our Loco Foco friends who have been so much horrified at the sale of white men in Indiana, have now an opportunity of man ufacturing a new supply of indignation up on a subject at home. We imagine, in ad vance, that we see the tender-hearted Editor of the " Carolinian " struck with speechless norror, his hair standing up like a rumpled hen's feathers, and his eyebrows so distend ed in amezement as completely to burst their gluey fetters. We think we are perfectly safe in promising the readers of the " Caro linian " at least six columns of indignation in that paper next week, upon this flagrant violation on the rights of white men. The following letter from a friend in Cam den, with thexsubjoined advertisement, con tains the whole history of the affair : , v (Jamdes, S, C. Nor. 2nd, 1840 " JJear iStr.- Enclosed I send you a document which may be of some importance to convince the Democrats of South. Caiolina, that white men are sometimes sold in our beloved State, as well as in In diana. This man was this day sold before the Court House in this place, in accordance With his sentence. for the sum of 6ns DoiA.Ajforfouryears, and bought by his wife, who took a resular . bill of sale. The notice I send you was nosted ud at the Post Office of this place, and the order for his sal made by one of me uemoeratic Judges of out State.

"It lito ne reereiieu,-dui pernaps not e woinciuu at, that in tHe'fieat of$eal for carrying-on these-Roads, thecenter prise of those' who en gage in them has not always been judicious ly directed; and it ii to this point that we wish to draw' particular attention. Iqads have been undertaken upon fouts. which can hot for a long time to come, yield any thing Jike a compensation for the labor bestowed upon them, while other advntage0s routes nave bden passed by; If "we cast an eye over the map of our conn try. having; at the same time a knowledge ot its productions ana trade, the most impor tant and natural courses for Railroads at once present themselves. First of all, we see the great chain which runs through all the prin cipal cites on the seaboard which now lacks but a few Short links to connect Maine with Georgia, and-as it were, tp bind the Union together. No part of this ions route can -be considered unimportant, and there is no part of it which will not soon become advantage ous to all the interests of the country and profitable to the stockholders. . From certain points upon this extended line we find other Roads branching offf and piercing the mighty interior of the Unfon, in 1 various directions. The principal of these points are Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore 'and Charleston. From - each of these places it is apparent that' Railroads opening communication with the sections of country upon which they chiefly depend for their trade, must become profitable. There are also a few xoutes connecting inland cit ies which are important. Beyond these great leading routes the country should not have attempted to go at present. By endeavoring in the short space of eight or ten years to push a Railroad to every point in the land which is ever likely to become important, we have scattered our means, weakened our energies, and retarded our progress. Had we in the first place confined ouV resources to those leading routes whidn we have 'designated, and carried on those roads to completion, and only engaged in building others as we saw a rational certain ty of their becoming profitable, we should have acted much more wisely. Great and astonishing as our achievements have al ready been, we should Have found them in finitely more so had we pursued this prudent course. It lor instance, the money which has been extended upon half a dozen different projects in this state, from which no returns will be realized for yOars to come, Had been applied to the construction of the New York and Albany Railroad that all important work, which now languishes, "and we fear will die, would have been; in successful op- erauon, enncning aiiKe? the city and the country ,and abundantl rewarding the stock holders for their investment. We do not pretend but that all the Rail roads -which have been commenced in the country will in time become sufficiently use ful, and 'profitable to warrant their construc tion. But with very many of them that time has not yet arrived, and will not for years. The country being comparatively' new,-has of course no idle capital to apply to sueh works. We ought to rave been contented to see them grow up with the country, and should not have squandered our means, and strained our credit, to builiPthem so much in advance of the times. .It should content us , to, proceed with safe and. prudent steps, for even then we should have astonished the world with our achievements. Ten years ago, who could have been found, either in the world Kr the new, credulous enough to believe that in 1840, the United" States would Jbave more than two thousand miles of liailroad m operation,, and over "four thou sand in course of construction? Our triumph is indeed great now jr but it would be more satisfactory were it free, from. the draw -backs brought upon.it by rashness and imprudence. The evils; that ;are past cannot, however be avoided ; and it is uso Jess to pine, over them. But we should take heed from them how to "direct our course for the future. - ; MURDERi- ? : On yesterday eveni hg about sun let, Geolge D. Smith, Town Constable?
