I beg leave to notice through the medi um of your widely circulated paper, one of the most interesting natural curiosities, of the West, which I have never seen describ ed in Any of die public prints of bur coun try, and which foreigners, who have visited America, with the view of writing its his ioTV, and particularly of delineating its wild and romantic scenery, have either never seen, or if they have,. deemed it un worthy of their notice. The curiosity to which I refer is situated on the top of the Cumberland mountain, East Tennessee, and is there familiarly known by thej name of the Cumberland Water-Fall.. I had fre quently heard it spoken of by ; travellers who had visited it, and their descriptions excited in me a very great desire to see it, as I conceived it to be a. beautiful represent tation of the falls, of Niagara. I have,- re cently, had an opportunity "of gratifying this desire ; and 1 assure you that my most exalted preconceptions were more than re- alized when I had the pleasure of viewing tins most interesting scene, which is dis tinguished alike for its beauty, and its wild and awful grandeur. This fall is within two hundred yards of the stage road crossing the Cumberland mountains. The pathway which conducts to it passes over a gently inclined plane, on the lower margin of which, meanders a small stream, which is here remarkable on ly fc-t its beautifully transparent water, which flows on smoothly and gently ,to the very verge of the precipice over which it falls. Immediately beyond the; little rivu let, there rises an abruptly steep mountain, which is clothed with fcluxuriaBtgrowth of ivy and laurel, -the beauty of j which was greatly heightened when I saw jit, by being covered with: richly variegated bloom. And jthe noble yew trees, as if too proud to associate with the shubbery beneath, serid forth their lofty shafts which! almost vie with the clouds in height. How. striking a contrast is there between this part of the scenery, and what is soon exhibited to the ' eye of the beholder ! Here, every object is calculated to inspire feelings of calmness and serenity, and the distant r roar of the cascade falls' like melodious music on the ear, to compose and soothe the mind. But how soon is the beholder awakened from this contemplative reverie, when he finds himself on the brink of the awful precipice over which tumbles the beautiful little stream just described. He is filled with wander and amazement, when, he surveys onhe one hand the stupendous cliff above, whose towering apex seems J to scale the clouds ; and on the other, the profound abvss beneath, into which the -water falls and vanishes from the sight. ; After viewing this truly grand scene for some time, with a pleasure which can be more easily conceived than! described, I turned away from the spot, ajnd, as I sup posed, bid a final adieu to itj; being more forcibly struck than I had ever before, with the wondrous power and might of the great Artificer of the universe. But to my great surprise, I learned from the gentleman liv inc very near, and who metime whilst - re tracing my steps to my carriage, that I had as yet seen but a small part of this awfully grand scenery. He informed me that there was a way. by which we coUld descend to t ie base of the precipice, on the brink o which I had just stood, wjiere I could have ai' much better vie w of the fall of water. Wishing to gratify my excitedjeuriosity to the utmost extent, I consented to" accept him as my guide. He conducted me down n very rugged and precipitous declivity1 of considerable extent, amidst crags of almost mountain height. At length we reached ihe foot of the precipice and stood in full view of the whole wonderful and amazing prospect. At first, I telt almost overwhelm ed by the contemplation, and spent some minutes m viewing the water ;nerely where it falls into a lovely-circular basin of stone. But language i3 utterly inadequate to ex press my emotions, when I. ventured to raise my eyes to survey the lofty ,nd spa cious concave which was suspended over my head,, and the precipitation of the water irom its brink. You can form some faint conception of the magnificence and gran deur of this scenery, when I tell you that the great dome above, which looks .like the firmament in miniaturevis no.less than one hundred & fifty feet in cGaraeter, and one hundred and seventy five feet in height, from the.bottom of the basing into which the water is received. The excavation ex tends so far back from the point1 at ' which the water is projected.that there is a" space of full forty feet between the base of the nm I il i 1 wet uv . ine snrnv. ifn ia , , . r . r-- r , - ... ivi considerable and which exhibits he ap rwiducu oi a snower ot rain, passes from the edge-jof tKe arch mass, nut aescendmff throuo-h th nearly two hundred feet, it becomf divided uiie: large drops of rain, which t esents a strikingly singular appearance. 1 the af ternoon, the beauty and interdt of the whole scene are greatly heighten d by the numerous brilliant rainbows flrich are unruly runs, he became much tuitueu oy me retracting influene of the descending stream and the ascendng spray. AVheri the stream of water ismuch in creasea by rain, it. is projected, (ill twenty yards from the base of the prelipice, and occasions a violent -whirlpool ijthe basin, which has the effect of wearini the rocks and pieces of timber in it smootl and round. ; Below the arched excavatio the preci pice, which consists of solid ock, is just like a perpendicular wnll riC me hnnrlffl and fifty. feet in height.

An Old Bdildeji. more tracta ble. It was out of my power to come to terms so long as old horney stood sentry below, so I sat very comfortably playing my fish ! At this part of the lake the water covers a shallow bank to the depth of a few inches. It was here, after in vain seeking to' ease himself of my steel, he made his last and grand struggle for liberty. He took a furious dash, sprung and rolled about, and, at length ran himself aground, producing an infernal commotion in the water, which he lashed into foam around him. It was not long before the bull's fancy was tickled ; and possibly reasoning from my earnest at tention to the motion of the pike, that there existed some connexion between us, made man, and supposed to have bten deposited furiously at his new acquaintance. Here there by some of the Indian tribes. . Whilst contemplating thisaugust scenery, commenced one of the rarest combats has ever fought, but the knight of that the served to excite in my mind feelings of a Very solemn and melancholv character. my guide related to me two incidents, which j water proved himself more that a mate for his more lordly antagonist. However skil ful I maybe in playing my fish, I could not pretend to have any power over the motion of the assailants, but sat almost splitting with laughter, whilst my line, which wa3 immediately broken, was twisted round the norns and legs ot tne bull, wno was going right and left into the stranded fish, who was notwithstanding, scarcely hurt, as noth ing very effectual could be done against his shiny sides, whilst every now and then he would turn to pin his enemy. . An op portunity was not long in occurring, and his longjaws and hooked teeth were firmly hxed in trie nether lip ot tne enraged and terrified animal, who, bounded along the snore, tossing his head, and using every effort to get rid of his tormenter ; but it was all m vain, his rearing and his rage was l he tirst was the murder ol a man by two gamblers, who had followed him from Me'Minnville, Middle Tennessee, under the impression that he was possessed of a large amount of money. He showed me the spot where they had committed the .horrid deed, it being near the basin where they j had decoyed their unsuspecting victim un der the pretence of showing him this in teresting spectacle. Suffice it to say that he was most barbarously murdered, and then despoiled of all he had ; and his man gled corpse was left exposed to the beasts of prey. He was however, soon discover ed and received a decent interment. The other incident was the accidental . destruc tion of a negro man, who having fled from his master, a trader, who was taking him : equally useless. to the South, and who, being pursued,! at night leaped headlong, unconsciously, over the dreadful precipice to the right of the fall, fully one hundred and fifty feet, and mangled his head and body against the crags beneath. His passage from time to eternity, was, indeed, a short one! His tomb is amidst the rocks not far from where he fell, and contiguous to his companion in misery. I must now conclude "this feeble and humble attempt to delineate what I ceive to be one of the most natural curiosities m America. I feel ut terly incompetent to pourtray it in such a way as to enable others to form a proper conception of its beauty and grandeur. I believe that the exalted imaginative genius of a Byron or a Scott, would prove almost inadequate to such a task. My object in making this communication is to attract at tention to this most interesting scene ; and to advise all those who may hereafter have ,an opportunity of witnessing it, to do so, as they will be most amply rewarded. Such exhibitions of the wonderful works of GodT are calculated to exalt and ennoble the feel ings of man, and produce in his mind the strongest convictions of the omnipotence and wisdom of his Creator. A Traveller. I was quickly bn terra firma, and leaving my rod dashed on in pursuit ; in which was joined by two herdsmen with C OMNIUM CM TIOA For the Register. con- mteresting dogs who had come up on hearing the noise. What is coursing, is fox-hunting, what is any chase that can be named, in compari son with the sport we were engaged in ? There was the bull tearing on erect, and bellowing with pain, and three dogs keep ing up with him and every now and then venturing a spring at his nostrils, or at the dead and torn fish which still appended to him, his grasp in death as deadly as in life. This however could not last long, and the. poor bull, completely exhausted, sank down vanquished by a dead fish. The dogs were taken off him, as likewise the remains of my pike, which could not have been much short of twenty pounds, and it was so 'torn as to be fit only for the dogs, who did not, however, seem to relish it. The herds men were muc h amused with the recital of my adventure, and assured me the bull would quickly recover from the effects of his spree ; and such another, I hardly think, he would wish to be engaged Dear James: Among the many letters which lie scattered on my'table, 1 find one rom you bearing date, 22d ult., and to a- void blame or censure, have seated mvself in the family elbow chair for the purpose of devoting a few leisure and undisturbed moments to reply to it. To use a newfan gled expression,; you must not expect your ancy to be ted with the food of variety, neither will I attempt to gratify your appe tite with any thing strange or marvelous. It is my purpose some times to amnsp: but. nine times put of ten, my object is to edify and instruct, by using a dialect peculiarly my own, which, from its simplicity & plain- ness, can neither be ambiguous nor incom prehensible to any mind however limited or circumscribed. Beginning with domestic affairs, I have to inform you that this, with other portions of North Carolina, has been visited with a drought far more fatal and destructive, than any we have had foryears; and 1 fear much suffering among the poor 1 -11 'it class win consequently loiiow. Liarge helos of corn have been totally destroyed, others seriously injured; but I hope the rains which have recently fallen, may do some good to wards reclaiming the young corn; if so, flat tering hopes aie entertained, that a sufficien cy will be made to supply the community. This drought cannot be the result of chance, as some may foolishly conjecture. Consult the religious part of society, ask the good meaning moralist who may have carefully watched the signs of the times, and either will tell you that it is sent by the King of Heaven to chastise his rebellious subjects, and show them clearly the heinous nature of their rebellion. Wrhen children are un- i dutiful, chastisement is the most efficacious their Iremedv to hrino- them in the nath of dutv: hazard the assertion, that out of the large bulk oi the intelligent and learned of the community, nine-tenths at least would pro nounce it folly in any man to claim as large a charter as the wind to blo w on whom he pleases. No such right was ever dele gated by any Code of Laws either of an cient or modern date, enacted by christians. w mie a student ot lavy, I gave you some hints as to the course 'you anight then pur sue; you are now, suppose, a licentiate, which I hope will soon ripen 'into a prac titioner of the first rank, to which you can attain, if you do not cramp the energies of your mind by a suicidal indulgence in indo lence and inactivity. The law may be com pared to -a, hinge on which turns the good or ill fortune of those involved in it; to some it has been a profitable servant, to others a cruel and imperious master, and I think truth will sustain me in the assertion, that very much of the hard earnings of the rich and poor has been spent in foolish and ma licious litigations, which could have been amicably adjusted by the interposition of mutual friends as arbiters of the respective parties. - When you are employed to defend virtue and innocence against the insidious attacks ot the wicked and profane, use no language but what an honest heart may dictate, care his cheeks; his hair, which was once of 3 jetty black, has assumed the grey f and he reminded me of an inhabitant of other days. He seemed not to have lost any of the viva city, but much of -the vigour of youth ; his body has suffered much from the ravage of age, but his mind remains unimpaired.- - Un all important topics he converses with, fluency and ease, and seems to enjoy the company of his friends with considerable zest. While with me he gave a short but inte- -resting narrative of his rovings, and the dif ferent branches of business he has at differ ent periods of his life been engaged in. From theoccupation of a clerk inearly life, he was transformed into a Merchant, as one of a firm which had but a short existence; again he was thrown behind-the counter and had the business of a friend to attend to, with the additional duties of a post office, which he found more pleasant than burthen some. Abandoning this, he became an in structor of.yoUth, but finding that business rather unprofitable, he has at last gained his consent to marry and settle down upon a farm, where, he hopes to spend the balance of his days in peace and quietness. On ob serving that the unexpected mention of mar riage extorted a smile from me, he very humorously observed, that it. was" never too fully avoiding the weapons of slander and ; late to do good, and that although he had auuse in gaming your object. . A just cause willully neglected to discharge that duty m needs no such aid to insure its success, and early life, yet he knew no reason why .he nothing I think, could be more cruel and should not no w be permitted: to discharge it, unjust than the use of them, in defending a ! and bad one. In all your doings, sustain the charMler of a consistent christian, a gentleman and philanthropist; cultivate an acquaintance with the virtuous and the good, and care fully shun the company of the vicious and the bad.

A GRAPHIC SKETCH. EXTRAORDINARY ANGLING ADVENTURE. A few summers ago I was pursuing favorite amusement, when I met with following ludicrous incident, my the re- A Mechanic in the N.'Y. Times, gives us the following graphic sketch of our Demo cratic Doomed President the " Great Irre deemable !" over the cital of which, I have since had many a hearty laugh, in which, I have no doubt, my readers will join, The scene of my adventure was a small lake in Perthshire, beautifully situated at the head of a richly wooded glen, and the undulating , hills, which slope down to the water's edge, are clothed with the noble specimens" of the Scotch fir ; the reflection of the lofty trees, the grey rock, and the purple heather, upon the quiet deep water, gives the picture 'the east of the most intense solitude, and the spirits gradually sink into a state of melan choly pleasure. It is the recollection of wandering amid such scenes as this which produces a sort of mania for fishing .which we often see in some anglers, and surely it is an excusable one wrrrJre the imagination can revel on the wonderful and stupendous works of our Creator. I wsis diligently working the little silvery trout, with" which my hook wa3 baited, when my refl.eetipns were disturbed by a low muttering irom the woods behind me, I had nor listened long, before a lond crashing among the branches warned me that it was time to cut; and, as a bull is an ugly, customer -af "all times, I seized my rod, and dashed for the nearest Wee; but a pike at this motnent, not aware of my alarm, followed my example in dashing for my bait. There was no time to spare, so letting the reel ruin, with the aid of a little gymnastics, I established my self firmly "on the first stock of a stout pine; and viewed with great satisTation, my sav-j age oiear-eyeo ioe just in uroe 10 op. wo late; he seemed to be" determined, however, on a blockade, and kept tearing up the turf, Van Buren is a professed democrat mere ly, but in feeling, in practice, so far as he dare, and so far as his stinted capacity will permit, a real aristocrat ; all for himself, and nothing for us. lie shuns the people; he neglects to answer their letters. He is surrounded -by the old black cockade fed eralists, and their sons, and by the locofoco British and American radicals. No real democratic republican can get within a rod of him. - 1 tried myseli last year, nvery approach was choked up, by such bitter old federalists as Wall and Buchanan, or by such new radicals as Ming and Slam. Whoever saw a great man . or a real demo crat lacing up corsets upon his body to make it look like a Broadway dandy, and prink ing up his whiskers in the looking glass, with ladies slippers on his feet? " Van Bitten a democrat," ah ? Yes, a painted democrat, as we sometimes plaster over a poor brick front and check it off in the style of marble or granite. I tell you it is all a sham, a cheat; it .won't last. Why just look a,t his policy, every move of it has beeri to consolidate the three great pillars of government into one solid column and mount himself on the top, with 7 the "great national sword in one hand and the great natidnat treasure in the other, and from his month J ecu In a- nW to the legislature and VllVUblA UWMMg ' CJ the judiciary, and the people, to go or come to fetch or carry, as shall please his own txrHl.

"" He can't stand exposure, or great body knows what mistake we made. I say brother Mechanics we have made nle. dependent on him for sustenance and support, we have been perfidiously un grateful, and we are bound to submit to any mode of chastisement without a murmur or complaint. Am I not right? Will not rea son and a glance into the word of God sup port me in these opinions? Most assuredly they will, and until we, his children, his creatures, become obedient and submissive to his will in all things pertaining to us, we shall incur his frowns and displeasure. live and die under them, and be banished from his majestic presence forever. If I were to judge from the hints and the indirect allusions you have thrown out, you intend to shake hands with, and bid a final adieu to celibacy, and enter upon ihe mat-, rimonial state. Be it so; you are of age, and capable, I trust, of forming a correct judgment in these things, but before you make a final selection, ah intimate acquain tance with her mind, endowments, disposi tion, and the last, though not the least, her qualifications for managing the affairs of a family, should be studiously cultivated. Commence with your heart, consider well" the step you are about to take ; a moment of inconsiderate haste may cause years of discontent and unliappmess, which very of ten, accompany inconsiderate and unretiect- ng marriages. If you shall find the object of your choice mud and amiable in her temper, not self-willed, courteous and kind, a christian in its true signification, with o- ther indispensible requisites, she cannot fail o contribute largely to your comtort, happi ness and peace; she will add dignity to the name and character ol wile, and will gradu ally gain the respect and esteem of her as sociates. .When that importance vent shall occur, do not err in supposing that .you have united -yourself to a being inferior- to yourself bv nature. The Rev. Mr. Henry in his comment on Genesis da onapt., tnus beautifully remarks, "Woman was not made out of Man's head to top him, not out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out ot his side to be equal with him under his arm to "e protected, and near his hetart to be beloved. These are weighty conside rations,, by which you should be influenced in selecting a partner, (not for any definite time as some of, the Heathens may do) but so lono- as you both shall live. When ques- tions are propounded, and enquiries' made, particularly by one who has seat in nay affections, it is my swer them satisfactorily, (if within the range of my abilities)but those which you have now propounded are of that character which can not be correctly answered by a mind as limi ted and circumscribed as mine, buU.1 will will be great and good. By the term books, I do not include No vels and Romances, which vitiate the taste, distemper the mind, and unfit it for the re- I ception of more wholesome food. Leave such trash to those who can relish it, but' for yourself I would advise you to touch not, nor handle not the unclean thing. I speak in part from experience, and hope your good sense will euable you to profit by it in ad dition with my advice, which I would not presume to give, if I did not believe it would lesult in your present and future good. " Be watchful against an inordinate affec tion for the present workl, use it with sober cheerfulness and gratitude to heaven, but suffer it not to engage your heart. Labor to possess and constantly to cherish, a meek and humble spirit which is of high estima tion in the sight of God and man. This will make you easy to be pleased, difficult to be offended, calm and serene in every circumstance of life." Do hot neglect the. house of God, be careful to attend on public worship as often as health and other circum stances will permit, and see that all over whom you have control do the same. To the poor, exercise benevolence and charity, and envy not the prosperity of the rich; recollect that what you have is not yours, but lent you by a beneficent Being, who delights in beneficent acts and will re ward them fourfold. Be not backward in visiting the sick, and if necessary relieve their wants in such a way and manner as will be most conducive to their comfort and health;. you know God command& it, and shall we not obey ? As suredly we should with a cheerful heart, ex pecting no re ward but the smiles and appro bation of heaven. The tide of emigration to the South and West continues to flow;"under every embar rassment and disadvantage, some dozen or more of dissatisfied spirits are preparing to leave the land of their birth and childhood for a home in a strange country,which clearly shows that man is a restless being at best, and nothing short of wealth, power and honors can- satisfy the cravings ot some minds. In your movements exercise pru dence and discretion, examine minutely the ascents and descents which alternately lie in vour oath, and when you are about to take a step, weigh well the consequences an elevated and be governed by that intuitive principle wish to an-" which will most certainly lead you aright in all things if youl attend to lta emotions A few days since was favored with a vis it from my old and intelligent friend Alphon so, whom I had nt seen or heard of .for twenty years or; more.

Adhere closely o this prac tice,, it secures health of body and a-vigorous mind, but they who neglect it do. injus tice to their bodies, minds and -estates, and may be said to drag out a life of pain arid heaviness, and an existence scarcely worth preserving.
