JOHN. C. CALHOUN, NEAR PENDLETON, S. C. - , .. Ia paying a visit to the great statesman of America iu bis secluded home at the South, the visiter is so struck with both him and his home, that he is at a less which to admire most the far-seeing sage, or tli3 masfnificent scenery, by which he is surrounded. lew xonnerner8 nave naa tne pleasure ot seeing Mr. Calhoun at home. . On his plantation, in the bo som of his family, and surrounded by scenes familiar to him for so many years, .he is the same, and yet he js in some respects a different person from the Senator at the capital. He is more at his ease, more sociable and familiar, and far happier. - - .,. His residence is about four miles from Pendleton, 3n old town in Picken's district, about 230 miles ijotu Charleston.- . - I reached Pendleton about , mid-dav, and no soon- crnaa i lanaea irom me man stage, man l maae in- 1 landed from the mail stage, than jaio 01 we lanoiora 01 tne notei in regard to trie usuikwo w x- ui y,1"' 1C 1 uiiuer i ir. laiiiuuu mujsei.. nij ejea iunu eu ui unwuuu towiucn nis nnger pointed, and sure enough I saw, ue 01 a Jaree iree, mat siaieiy 1 bead, wnose teaiures it once seen are never torgotten, - andl had seen Air.

Mrs. Calhoun is just such a wife as a man like Mr, Calhoun should have sensible, domestic, and industrious. Site gov erns her bousebold-n'a style that no Roman matron; in the old times, ever surpassed.

He is a very spare eater," and his temperance js so well known, that I need not allude to it, During the dinner, Mr. Calhoun asked me if "there was anything Tery new at the North in the ' political .world. ; To which 1 replied, that Benton's speech was very much klkcd about, and that it, was evidently making a sensation. I was curious to hear what he would ay to this, and asked him if he had read it . ' "Some one has sent me a copy, which I have read. He has said many things of me which Jie weli knew ere false.' I do not yet know.' whether I shall no l' it or not. " Should : I do so, I should , avoid any Wng like personalities Mr; Benton is a man with hoin I care to bare little intercourse. in any, shape Jnd though his career and character , are stfch, that ey leave him very much exposed to be completely torn to pieces, I should duly reply td such statements of his speech aa are injurious tothc South, and con pne myself simply to refuting them without touchy "S ow own defbrinities?'- iay 'jT-'$ " " . After dinner we went out on the north piazza ; there te not another such view in the'-world as is to be seen Fort Hill, from the front door- There are a range mountains both the Alleghany and Blue ridge ch extend froni yvest: to north," where they, are .8t in the- distance" which "can be distinctly Been ltb their tops and peaks coming up into the'sky, rtJ or ii:ty miles U4tarit; add the-ceop dt your Jeio the instant embraces mouauinatin ..Jtbfl fpW tes of .North, Carolina, , Georgiat- ,Tnnes3ee,;aBd, uth Carolina.'

'No orle enters it. but him, unless he is there.' ; ,. The. view to.-the southward of his house is very beautiful, extending over hill and dale ; the Seneca river passes through his plantation, and forms' the principal branch of the Savannah river, by which the produce of his plantation is sent to Hamburg,' opposite Augusta. His house itself stands 1,000 feet above the level of the sea, and about .200 feet above the Seneca river: In sight of the house and office is the negro quarter on a hill TOO feet above the valley and one-eighth of a mile from the mansion; The houses are built of stone," and joined together like barracks, with garden attached, and a large open space in front. There are, perhaps, seventy or eighty negroes on and about the place, - ThelaTgest part of his negroes are in Alabama; where Mr. Calhoun owns a large planta tion and which is under the management of his son Andrew (alluded to as his eldest son,), who has the reputation of being one of the best cotton planters in Alabama. . . Towards sunset Mr. Calhoun gave me an invitation to walk over r his farm. . I erladlv accepted. After leaving the mansion, we proceeded towards the valley at theoutb of it. We descended to the valley, pass jng 5- the negTO quarter. Here Mr. Calhoun stopped a few moments making inqairies in regard to some wno were slck . among them, seated under a cherry tree wa8 an afred negro man who was, as he intorm ej me the oldest on the place, arid enjoyed some narticnlar nnv porpa. H waa allrwp.rt tn nltivata SCMne four or five acres of land for cotton and other w r - r " things : the Proceeds of which became his oroDertv. and sometimes produced S30 to $50 a season. This js a privileger however, that Mr. Calhoun allows his Uiarp. 9nl 1l hP naioh onntaim'mr mnra r lna acres of cotton. These Batches are near the netrro qaarter, for their convenience. The negroes cultivate the coUon at their leisure; Mr. Calhoun-has it . . . . . ploughed for them by his horses and ploughs, and they hoe it in their spare- time. These darkies are aa shrewd in setting the highest price for their little crops as white planters, and are as perfectlv c conver 1 ., .1 i ' sant with the fluctuations in the cotton market in Liverpool and New York as a cotton broker. Mr. Calhoun has no drivers. He has an overseer, Mr. Fredericks, who superintends bis planting interest a very intelligent and faithful man. .Leaving- the quar ter, we passed down to a mill at the foot of the hill on which the negro houses are built. From the mill we passed into a large field of Indian corn, and I assure you I do not exaggerate whei'I say that I never saw such a splendid agricultural sight in my life '-- The held is in the low around or hnttom. and fCOTer3 one hundred and twenty acres. The average height is twelve to fourteen feet! a. sea of dark green, waving with tassels and jjlossy silk of every hue and Colorfand is grand beyond description. From tbj8 we assed into a cotton field, which is as large out to me the blossoms ; the first day after the bios- 80m appears, the flower is white : the next day red : anj the third it drops off. and the cotton boll begins to form.- It was . in this stnze I saw it. It iff a pleasant mode of farming. . There is nothing wanting on the farm ; fields of oat3, of wheat, ofpotat0es, and of rice, and all in a forward state. The rice field i occupies a part of the low land, near the Seneca river, ! 1 -. , !.: a . :.i. an(i ;t3 naie green was in striking contrast with the Tr - a earrv off tho water without allowing the land to wash is novel r and so useful is it found, that his neighbors copv his plan. They have the advantage of his example constantly before them ; an his crops are far ahead of any one else in this region. There is not anything which escapes him. . After an hour had been spent . in passing through these fieldA wa returned towards his out-buildings, cotton press, narns, granaries, &c. I was surprised. His whore heart and soul seemed absorbed in the farm;1 Had I not known with whom I was conversing, I should have set him down in my mind as the most thorough-going practical farmer I had ever met with. There is no detail connected with it, with which he is not per fectly familiar, and as he carries you along with him, he points out to you, and explains every thing in -tho most simple manner possible. -You wonder, know- incr the man. where ne crot nis lniormauon irom, uu when he had time' to ret it. and still more when he had time to carry it into operation. But people can- not understand Mr. Jalhoun; he is a peiiect XNapo- e0n in his. system and power of combinations. Ho has a time and olacn for eveFV thinar ; in a word, to gjVe a vulgar quotation, "what, Mr. Calhoun dont know about any and every thing, aint worth a man s while to look after." Say what vou please about Mr. ' Calhoun's other qualifications, dispute them as much J as yo'u please whether he is this, that or the other, I. as vo'u nl Care not but this assertion I will make, John C. Calhoun is the best practical farmer in the United States, and if any man doubts this assertion, ict nun make a pilgrimage to f ort inn, ana nis aquois witi By the way, while' walking' in the large corn field, I asked Mr. Calhoun what gave the name of Fort Hill .to-.his place. : He answered my query by point ing put tome a long hill about a mile from the man sion, and west of the corn field, , above, the Seneca, and remarked : " There was a fort stood there, built.' I believe, during the; war of: the evolution ; it was used during that time by the Americans, and called Fnrt Hill If was" dismanlled !witlT peace,'' but' its name ha been given to my farm, on 'which the'old. fort1 stood." Hia conversation is ever instructive and while giving me the history. of ; Port .HilU of which 'the above is but an abrupt summary,. he gave a most interesting narration of the Indian warlong before the time'of the French war of the Six: Nations, Of whonr the SenecaS extended down South as far as this region,nd jgave their name to the river near us ; of their power and greatness, their war with the Cher ekeesj and 'when the Cherokees, had ' driven them back' te the north1, became dow-h to the history of th?

One conviction was this : 'that but for ignorance, downright stupid ignorance, on the part of the peo- pie 01 me unuea states, maae bo ana Kepi sooy sun more stupid, hack party papers, contented with the interest of selfish; aspiring party leaders, whose in terest it is to keep the mass of the people ignorant of me reai cnaracter 01 John J, caihoun; 01 nis glori ous and god-like intellect,' his lofty patriotism, and love for country, which is only bounded by that coun try; and not by any State or section he wishes but justice to all of his unswerving devotion to the con stitution,' his supreme - contempt for" dishonest, time serving politicians, tricksters, and lickspittles ; and his love for all that is good," ' useful, and patriotic ; above all, his honesty and incorruptibility or his sa gacityhis long-experience of forty years in the high est seats in the councils of the Union and his deep thought and foresight, which all make him what he is, the greatest man in the federal Union buffer this, the people, as one man,' would have arisen and placed him at the head of affairs at Washington, long ago? and he would have stamped tho impress of his mighty mind, for .years to come, for good. With so pure, so lofty and patriotic a ' President, how' would our government jiow stand before the struggling Eu ropean nations? ' He would mark his administration by acts and policy that would cause it to be blessed for a century to come. .As it is, what has he .not done, for th&last twenty years only 1 He ha9 originated and carried more measures," which have become law, and defeated more which he believed to be bad, than all the Presidents during that period. Is it riot true, and are not the people qf the United States fully con versant with these facts? . He has no press to trum pet forth and blazon his great actions, as every other little great man has," and who consequently become quite honored' and caressed. These men, and! that class of men, every one of them, know what John C, Calhoun is, and what he has done, and feel that to him they are the' pigmy to the giant. . Mr. Calhoun stands alone. ' He is like the mighty chain of the Alleghanies, whiclfloora up into the clouds, 40 or 60 miles from his mansion; when time has .passed with him, when 40 or 60 years intervene, then, and not till then, will the people of our country look back, and then in that distance above all. will tower the memory ot the -acts of Calhoun. He is like. the mountain the grandeur of his mind and its concep tions cannot be seen by those in his time. Distance will mark his outlines with distinctness and do him justice better for him too late for us., j. V hat experience .has been his how long and how varied I Six Years a member of the lower House of Congress -eight years : Secretary of War seven years Vice President rone year .Secretary - of State eigh teen years Senator in Congress I. - For forty years, without intermission, in the public service, and dur ing periods fraught with the greatest excitement and interest to the Union. 1. thought what a burning shamo that party subserviency should be able to ob scure in onr own land an intellect which would shine brilliantly in any other; and the sage of experiencn never occupy nis uuja position in our estimation, un- til alter ne leaves us; ana wnat aoes ne tninx 01 this or of the Presidency ? ' I asked him, and as near as I can recollect, I will give his reply : ... rt What could I gain to be President? Care and anxiety that t am free from now. I am not ambitious. The only reward I seek, is-the approbation of my own conscience. 1 neither ask. nor desire any other reward than that. I would not accept the office of President, on any other terms than the most entire freedom to reform' abuses, abolish tho system of re movals, and break up the spoils and plunder system', and restore the government to a healthy and vigorous action, and this without any trammel or .pledges, ex cept those which tho constitution imposes upon the t,T .:i . u ' ' - rresiuenu And what American, lhis senses; doubts that fact? What could-Mr. Calhoun gain by being President, except the power to do more and greater, good than a more limited sphere has yet allowed mm to ao 1 After leaving-the river, "we waited bacK towards the mansion. . On our way he suoke of the beautiful Indian names still retained m this section, I asked if any of those Indians yet remained in the' neighbor hood? - He-replied that about 1,200 Cherokeps yet remained in the North Carolina chain of the Allegha ny, about 40 miles from Fort Hill ; "and are,", says Mr. Calhoun, "ja very well behaved, peaceful, and industrious people; there is sufficient land in that chain to form two mountain States." We returned to the mansion about dark. ' Soon after, tea was serv ed to the familj', on the. piazza. : Afterwards, we adr- iourned to the drawing-room. Mrs. Calhoun played several lavoruq luiirs- upon inc. piano, ana, ai ten r.

On Tuesday last the pco pie were addressed by Ex-Governors Swain and Graham on the - subject of the Central Kail lioad. Gov. Graham led oft, and . proved to a demonstration by facts and figures deduced"! from 'the history and experience of other roads, - that not only would, tho stock be a profitable investment, but the value of the land lying contiguous to the road as well as tho price of all agricultural products Would be enhanced in value to a very great extent. One argument, which is frequently advanced in opposition to the scheme, to the effect that we were too poor to build the road, was met by the 'governor with; complete success. and we wish that every man in the connty could have heard him. He cited his hearers to the Ntate of ueor- gia, wnicn now naa faree W 33 P 4 1 1 Irnm can Ihuaet tn nnrt h wncr fill nl wnln Sire nowi. ... 1 j j, 11 t .1 u declaring six per cent.' interest on the capital stock. . - . 1" The agricultural products in that State are corapu- j ted by tne census of 1810 to amount in value to j a.m. . 1-- y-i 1 1 reach $27,000,000- Now if Georgia could build and PJ1,UUU,WU III ll.

"We will not attempt to fell ow'.M.r. Graham through the chain of his argument; that" would be a useless undertaking. In some future number we will take pleasure in ad verting to the facts an:f statements advanced by him, and sincerely hope, though coming through a second hand, they will have a good effect upon our readers. Gov. "Swain followed in a most impassioned appeal full of stirring' eloquence and withering satire. Ho told the people that it was no longer, a question of mere dollars and.cents, with Jhem as to the building of tne road it was a question qf life and death. That surrounded by other States, who had gone far ahead in the matter, of internal improvements, bymearis of w-hichheir mineral, agricultural, and manufacturing interests' were being fully developed, we would be driven out of the great marts of the world, whilst they, on the other hand, would eventuilly come to our own doors, ana compete with us. successiunv even there would drive us, as we had done the In- dians before us, from our very homes by the superi or advantages which .they possessed. In fact?, that we could not stand still -we must either advance or sink into utter insignificance and disgrace.
