From the top of the Uiuo Jtiage to tne oouui Carolina line, we have a third, and the most at tractive, valley of about ten miles in extent. This fa known as Cashier's valley. The origin of the name is a very humble one, and the name itself mar. with rreat propriety, cive place to one more eunhonioua and significant. Countless heads of sheep aad goats, will be found browsing along the mountain sides by day and finding fond and shel ter, in the valley id night; and instead of UotMier's Vallfy, before manr years we snail naveine alb or Casrxkbc The descent from the Blue ndge to our Southern boundary is craduai.

Here, as in Hamburg, the white clover crerrwnere meet tne eye. e passed throMgh a field which was left uncultivated last year, on which the clover seemed to be almost as white as a sheeting of snow.

And sura enough I learned on my return,' that Mrs. Calhoun, brave little woman that the i4 had been there before me. Mr. McKinney, a plain, intelligent farmer, in very moderate circumstances, at whose house we were comfortably entertained, informed us that Mr. Calhsun and family, for many years previous to hi death, sought health and comfort during the autumn in this secluded valley. He always spoke of it as the finest mountain region, and most salubrious cumata on the continent, .air. jlcK detailed many interesting incident, with respect to Mr. Calhoun s manners and habits, especially in his Intercourse with the rude mountaineers around him. His manners were as plain and sim pie as theirs, and it is not surprising that they should manifest the highest administration of, and the warmest affection tor him. It is not the least attractive trait in the character of this great man, that he seemed no where else to be ao fascinating as in the family circle,' and ia familiar intercourse with his immediate neighbours. Mr. McKinney pointed, with manifest emotion, to the stone in bis yard from which Mr. Calhoun, on account of an injury in his hip, mounted, on a cool morning in November, the year before his deaui, the plain farm bone on which, unattended, ne maue nis last visit to tne aiiey. Leaving Mr. McKinney's after breakfast, on the 28th of June, we proceeded two or three miles to the bouse which the late Col. Wade Hampton and bis Drotner-in-law. vol John . freston, pur chased a year or two ago, from Mr. Zachary, at the baje of the Chimney Ton. Here, at the time of Col. Hampton's lamented death, they were pre paring to erect palatial residences on a scale of similar magnihcence tothoseowned by gentlemen from South Carolina and Georgia, in Buncombe and Henderson. We paused but a few minutes before entering upon the ascent of the mountain. to the summit of which I succeeded in following my companions uhmJ pauti&us aeouU." Our kind and intelligent guKle, Mr. Zachary directed oar at ten tion to eminence and object in the dis tance which he told us were in Georgia.

ADDISON ON THE TELEGRAPH.- ln the 341st number of the Spectator U a playfu 1 suggestion by Addison In regard to absent lovers. which, although written ; early in the eighteenth century, has found its realization in the middle of thenineteenth. After quoting a letter from Asteria, complaining of the regret she felt at the absence of her husband and suggesting various remedies for ber relief, among which was one of having an hour set apart for mutual remembrance in prayer, he add the following:. ' v. -?- . "Strada, in one of his Prolusions, gives an account ofa chimerical correspondence between two friend? by the help ofa certain loadatone, which bad snch virtue in it that if it touched two several needles, when one of the needle ao touched began to move, the other, though at never so great a distance, moved at the same time and in tne same manner. He tolls us that the two friend, being each of them possessed of one of the needles, - made akindot dial plate, inscribing it with the four and twenty letters, in the same manner as the hours of theday are marked upon the ordinary dial . plate. ' They then fixed one of the needles on each of these in such a manner that they could more round without impediment, so as to touch apy one of the four-and-twenty letters. Upon their separating one from another into distant countries they agreed to with draw themselves punctually into their closets at a certain hour of the day, and to converse with one another by mean of this their invention. By this means they talked together across a whole conti nent, and conveyed their thought to one another in an instant, over citie or mountains, sea or des ert." .: - : This strange vagary of an'ancient writer, quoted by Addison for the amusement of his readers, has wonderfully become a fixed truth in the pro gress or modern science. How little did Addi?on dream that'what he waa thebsuggesting in a vein of playful humor should tax the minds of wise men to accomplish,until the whole invention should be perfected by which two continents are now bound together, and thought is made to pass be tween with the rapidity almost of its own motion Cbebbotjko a hp Exglaxd. Some of the French paper are very tart in their comment oa the completion of the great fortress of Cherbourg. One of them, the fnteers. aavs that "a great nation should always boldly own it acts, and never per mit them to be misrepresented. Let us proclaim aloud, that Cherbourg has been created by a hostile feeling , toward England, and that othertmae its creation would hare been unnecessary. There is more in the same rein, indicating that in the opion ion or the Jvrench, whenever it pleases the Empe ror to go over and take possession of England, he can do so. That ha always been the opinion of therrcneb, but they must am annihilate the British Navy, which is a thing more easily iamg ined than performed.

They had .been sitting with other company, and after awhile the Dr. rose and walked across the room wiin the usual ump in his gait, ' Mr. Orr immediately recognised him, and asked him if he were not the Ubaplain at the Un iversity of Virginia at such a time, naming the rear.

" We pressed on in the direction, guided by the -compass, of the river at the point. The third day out, in the morning, we started with the furnishing hord ahead of the train. The cattle becoming" very excitable, and travelling on a very fast walk, we pressed on a? hard aa we could. At midnight the herd got a fresh breeze, and turned to the North on an In dian trail, and travelled most furiously, the men fighting them in front to keep them in place. . At day-break we struck the Belknap roadr fifteen milt from the well known . sand hill, where we suoceded in turning the cattle on the road. Here, one of our men, J. Ramsay, was C itched on by a large steer, his horse throwing im. His head was partially scalped, his collar bene broken, and otherwise badly bruised.. Six abots had to be fired before the enraged animal fell. t As soon as the herd reached the road they pitched off and ran eight miles, and then left the road again, turning north into deep drifted sand. Here we had a desperate struggle t,save thejherd, fighting them back for four long hour?, they pres sing us hard, and all fighting mad. ; ... v At last one file of the most furious steers led out again, when we set to and succeeded in hording them towards the road, which they soon struck, and by four o'clock, we arrived in the sand hOls, where we found many ponds of weak alkali wa ter, saved the lives of the famishing men and cattle and The herd had no water for seventy six hours, and travelled one hwndred and thirty miles. I, The herdsmen were without water "or nourishment thirty hours. Their exercise was very hard, riding and hallowing at the cattle, and was calculated to bring on thirst soon. The men suffered extreme ly for the want of water and sleep; many shot down the famishing bullock on tbe road, stuck them, pulled of their boots or shoes, caught, the thick, Lot blood and' drank it freely, and by so doing saved their lives.- The cattle were all very much excited, and any of them would fight, and the men were compelled to shoot many. We went into the Sand hill with 1,900 head of cattle, or struck the sand with that number, and left, with about 1,050, many of tha missing baring died for the want of -water. On arriving, the men were all excited and hardly knew their com rades. Dan Murray, Wheatley, Kellon and Col lier would never have got to water had not some of the herdsmen' been sent on after water and returned to them. They hadstopped by the side of the road. We had no provisions but fresh beef for three days, and became rery much reduced, and none of us were able for service. ' Ours was the first train that had arrived in the Sand hills this year.

Francis, of Philadelphia, has invented a method of producing local anesthesia by the application of an electric current, and through this means to ef fect the painless extraction of teeth. - The applica tion is simple", and consists in attaching to the forceps the negative pole or flexible wire of the ordinary electro-magnetic machine, or graduated battery, and placing the metallic handle of the other or positive pole in the hand of the patient, and by this means to cause an interrupted current to traverse the body of the patient and the extrac ting instrument. The intensity of the current is previously graduated while the patient grasps the forceps and handle, till it is just distinctly percep tible, and the circuit through the tooth is not com pleted till the moment at which extraction is to begin. This interruption is said to be desirable till the forceps are placed upon the tooth, when the circuit is formed, and the extraction made at once. How this annuls pain we cannot deter mine, but that it has, in a large number of cases, we are satisfied from the representations of - able dentists in this ajrTl other cities. Thia novel pro cess of extracting teeth was patented the 25th of May, 1858, and the claim is to the combination of the electro-magnetic machine with the dental for ceps. Scientific American. . , Tbe writer of this note recently had a tooth ex tracted by the electr magnetic process by Dr. Porter, of Court street, Brooklyn, and can vouch for its efficacy. The tooth was one of the most difficult to extract, being firmly set in the lower ,17. !r ? Jga' .nd J itWM-dr'r bJ this process in a moment without pain. A. Y. I Com. Adv. 30M. Scxn x in a Disskctino Room. A . correspon dent informs us that a case similar to that of Ma gee is narrated in the British Mercury, June 12, 1790, with the remark of the editor: "Casuists may amuse themselves with settling whether the following action be ranged under the title of justice or humanity." The case is this: - A young gentleman who had studied at a cele brated university, and having a strong predilec tion for anatomy, took great pleasure in attending on dissections. One evening he with many others. was anxiously attending on the commecement -of that operation on the body of a notorious male factor, who lay stretched out on the table before them ; the surgeon who had been placing it in a proper, situation, turned to the class, and addressed them thus: . - ; - - "I. am nrettv certain, centlemen. from tha warmth of the subject and .the flexibility of the limbs, that by a proper degree of attention and care the viui heat would return ; and life in conse quence take place. But, then, when it is consid ered what a rascal we should again have among us, that he was executed for having murdered a girl whom he bad ruined ; and that were he re stored to life he would probably murder eomebodv else, when these things are coolly considered, I own it is my opinion that we had better proceed with the dissection." With these words, he plung ed the knife into the breat of the carcass, - and precluded at once all dread of future assassination or hopes of repentance. Indians Becoming Citilized. About seven ty five of the Sioux Indians have signified their intention to adopt the dress of their paleface breth ren, and pursue an agricultural life on their farms or lands near the Agency, where many of them nave now irom Ave to ten acres under cultivation. But the greatest step towards civilisation is their requesting Superintendent Cullen to bring a pair of shears to tbeir settlement in order to cut off- their hair I Thb, all uncivilized or half civilized Indians look upon with perfect abhorrence. -Un dipped hair with, the Indian is just as indispensa ble as the blanket ; and a violation of this usage 1 forfeiture of Indian character.

As soon as cotton begins to open freely it must be gathered without delay . Avoid picking imme diately after a shower; lest the lint should be dirty. See' that ybnr Gin and Press are in comple order. and send no. cotton " to market, that has not re ceived the most careful handling thonghout. , Oow Peas should be gathered and put away dur ring the brief intervals of leisure from cotton picking. The ' vines of the late planted pea may also be cut when the pod is just forming and cured for hay. Carefully save seed of all valuable sorts. - ' " " ' ' Corn may bo crit up and saved. V 'Winter Oats, Rye, Barley, Clover, and Lucerne, may be sown , the latter part of this month. -.-- " . ' "" J' . - . 'Turnips,' for a full crop," must now be sown, without delay.

All Crab (or crop), Grassr Crowfoot, . and other grasses, must be. cut when, in blosom, and " carefully cured, with as little - exposure to the sun as possible, to be of . any value for hay. The dried up and withered grass 'often pulled for hay late in:the season, is almost utterly value less. - ' ' ' - '' , - '..;: "V ' ' i yVet land may now be drained,"Tvoodlands pre pared for pasturage, weeds and brush grubbed up &c. &c, as directed heretofore. '. Winter Forage. As a green crop, try Wheat sown thick in three feet drills,- on deeply plowed and rich' land.' It will give your animals green food "nearly all winter, bearing repeated cuttings. V - ' " '. ; Thi Gardix: Turnips, of all kinds, if not al ready sown, must be put in without delay. ; Strawberry beds may be prepared and the plants set out any: time, daring the fail or winter. A cool moist soil, rich in vegetable matter, suits this fruit best in our sultry climate. Spade or trench plow the ground as deeply as possible, turning under a plenti ful supply of swamp muck, docomposed leaves, wood ashes, pulverized charcoal, and a little well rotted stable manure. ' Harrow or rake the surface until it is perfectly fine and. even, and set your plants in 3 foot row's, 1 foot to 18 inches in the row. When tbe plants are well rooted, cover the entire surface of the ground with partially decomposed forest leaves, only permitting the plants to be exposed. By this method, with an occasional watering next summer, -in dry weather (and the proper selection of varieties!, this delicious and healthy fruit may be raised abundantly from three to five months in the year, for family use and for market. It can be safely transported 300 miles per railroad, and has even been sent from Georgia to New York in excellent condition. It is, in all respects, one of our most attractive and profitable fruit crops, and we hope it will receive increased atten tion hereafter. Some of the choicest varieties are Early Prolific,Hovey's Seeding, McAvoy's Sup perior, Longworth'a Prolific, Walker's Seedling, Peabody a Hautbois, Crimson Cone, Wilson's Al bany, &c. McAvoy's Extracted, the CrescentJSeedling, Black Prince, Iowa, Jenny Lind, Scott'9 Seedling, Trol lope's Victoria, Boyden's Seedling, Smythe's and other varieties, are also valuable for ama teurs. '. . , - Thi Fruit Orchard. New land, elevated and not too rich, is most suitable for orchards, and to those who have neither the time nor the means to grub up and entirely clear the ground before planting, we suggest the following plan for speedi ly replacing a forest . with a productive peach or apple orchard : Cutoff all wood and brush very clean, early in the fall, burning to ashes all the logs that you cannot remove, and leaving all stumps very low. Then stake off your land the proper distances, and dig holes six feet across and two feet deep, throwing the surface mould on one side and the subsoil on the other. Rake into the bottom of the hole a bushel or more of the surround ing loosetop soil, leaves, &c. fill up to the pro per height with the surface soil first thrown out, and plant your tree carefuly, heaping up the sub-. soil Slightly about the trunk and - over the roots, to allow for the natural settling of the earth. Your tree being' now planted and furnished with a supply of food in the hole, immediately within its reach, the after-culture may be as follows : The first spring early be plow and cross plow the young orchard with long rooters, keeping beyond the holes in which the trees are planted, and carefully avoiding all injury to tbe trunk or branches. Sow Cow Peas broadcast in the opeVpace between the , .j ta , lTZn f trees, and keep the earth loose and mellow about the roots with a pronged hoe. - If mulching mate rial can be obtained, apply it thickly after the ftat hoeing, as far as the roots of the trees extend. This will -obviate the necessity of any further working for the season. ' When the peas ripen, pick and save them, turning ; the ' vines under and sowing another crop to be gathered in the same manner. These repeated plowings and cross plow ings, with the abundant supply 1 of nutritive mat ter furnished by the decomposing pea vines, and an occasional dressing of ashes, will insure the most rigorous and healthy growth of the' trees and force them into early and prolific bearing. Other low crops, such as Sweet Potatos and Pin cers, may afterwards be grown " profitably in the ore hardy and the vines returned to the soil as above recommended W confidently recommend atrial of this plan to those who desire the quickest and most satisfactory return for their labor in fruit rais ing, and who have no old land elevated enough or otherwise suitable. . November and December are the best months for planting trees. Southern Cultivator. ; A Sharp Ritoet. "I knew Mr. Lincoln in early life; he commenced his life as a grocer." Douglas. .

Consumption, and for the relief of consumptive patients in advanced stages of the disease. - . , r ' We need not speak to the public of its virtues. Throughout every town, almost every hamlet of the American States, its wonderful cures of pulmonary com- plaints have made i already known, nay, few are the families in any civihted country en this continent with out some personal experience of its effects; and fewer yet the communities any where which have not among them some living trophy of its victory over the subtle and dangerous diseases of the throat and lungs. While it is the most powerful antidote yet known to man for the formidable and dangerous diseases of the pulmo- nary organs, it is also the pleasantest and safest remedy that can beemployed for infantsand young persons. Pa rents should have it in store against the insidious enemy that steals upon them unprepared. - We have abundant grounds to believe the Cherry Pectoral saves more lives by the consumptions it prevents than those it cures. Keep it by you, and cure your eolds while they are cura--ble, nor neglect them until no human skill can master the inexorable canker that, fastened on the vitals, eats your life away. All know the dreadful fatality of lung disorders, and as they know too the virtues of this rem edy, we need not do more than assure them it is still made the best it can be. We spare no cost, no care, no toil to produce it the most perfect possible, and thus afford those who rely on it the best agent which our skill can furnish for their cure. ft ; i - PREPARED BY DR. J.
