An Interesting feature was oxhibi. is ted in the attendance at Church in uniform of same i of our military companies. ti Three deaths were reported on Tuesday from yel- ti low fever for the week ending 20th invL viz: 1 white a, adult, 1 white and I black child. Total number of si deaths from all diseases 27. The disease is now ro- ti garded as having disappeared, and the vast throrgs n of strange faces to be daily seen on our thorougbfares ti indicate that all apprehension has been sometime p since at an end, and that we ire in the midat of our a long expected winter campaign of health and gaiety. al The arrivals by Rail Road and Steamboats from every IN quarter continue to increase rapidly, and the Hotels, all present the appearance of renewed activity and bustle. Our Delegation left in due time to be at their posts at Columbia on Monday. Among other important subjects with which they are specially charged, is the a expediency of s.ne reform in our Militia system, of 1i whichi, we of the City, are made to feel the absolute it I necersity. From the lirgo proportion of Captains 14 and other military celebrities composing The Delega. a tion, I hould judge tlis' portion of our fellow citizens are in earnest about having their interests and wishes duly oered for. The tlovernor's mersage is much admired- for its admirable conservatim and it; striking chasteness of a tone and spirit. His Excellency's recomaendations P are, many of them, very judicions and well-timed. V IIis suiggestions in relation to the Normal Schools and Marine School will find great favor among our citizens.

S CLAUDE. sl FROM OUR MOUNTAIN CORRESPONDENT. PICK ENS DISTRICT, Nov. 1858. .' Ma. Ensvon:-Itis not selfishness to say that "char- ~ ity should begin a~t hsome." It would, perhaps, be noP mis-nonier to call this the first principle of self-pro servation. We are told in Holy Writ thathe whojro- te vidleth not for his own household, hath denied the faith and. is worse than an infidel. Now, the people of the Southern States have a great deal to say about tr Northern fanaticism. And how could it he otherwise, "' when that peatilenet thing is constantly attempting to 0* eneroaeh upon the moat cherished rights of our see-. ion, and threatens also to break up the host Govern- tl ment over devised by man ? But has the South al- BI ways acted wisely in regard. to this sectional contro versy ? Casn any one believe that the "negro-wor. sl shippers "-those infamous disorganirserashmd atheists, p' would he so insolent and exacting, had the Sonthrons 20 never been conte't to " play second fiddle " to the ici yankees, in more particulars than one? Doing an e Agricultural people, we imuported too freely from the he land of wooden nutmegs, and of ether small notions. ' FPskion and Commnerce have levied heavier contribu tions upon Southern prosperity, than thse tariff or the nl "under-ground railroad." We can hardly buy or sell foi any thing at all without paying commissions, either ash directly or indirectly, in the City of New York. Ad then in the summer season, If the elite of our country want something nice to cat they must go all the way t the St. Nicholas or the Revere House to get It. Lui Northern ocean views, Northern mountain scenery - and Northern mineral waters all help tospirit away the gold and silver, whicharoeso much needed at home - to embelish our own beautiful land. But the friends of momec improremsent think they see p the dawn of a better and a brighter day. Direct trade is on the increase, whilst the scream of the lo- t comtire and the hum of facte'rles are imparting life and energy to regions that had well-nigh sunk into, " the slough of despond." Persons of "eant lois-ar r " have discovered that there are sweet vai mur muring cascades, gray crags and' towering ma ntains on the South.side of the Potomac. To ii alid, and to the sincere lover of Natpre, and f Nature's simplicity and grandeur, I can think of no place so full of promise as Cashier's Valley. Ismpriaais, there is a plenty of game. Deer can be started here almost any day; not unfrequently a bear is encountered, and semiocasionally a panther. Wild animals, I think, es will always abound here, because the country for miles tra and miles in every direction is for the most part too10 rugged for human habitation. Hog Back mountain, In the immediate vicinity, is not only very "grand, gloomy and peculiar " in its general outlines, but the laurel groves on its brow and on the adjacent spurs, at are so thick and impervious that the people have never been able even to survey the land i Those extensivewi bowers of ever-greens are the fruitful nurseries of.the finest game, and also of many a beast of prey. Cash- saa lo.'s Vay .einnelea about four thousand feet PIt pove the son, the atmospbere here, even in the bet i seasou, Is exceeding'y cool, pure 'and refreshing. may remark, capassat, that this romantic~vale took iname frnm a noble steed enlled CrdieAt r, which was customed to feed with evidoLt piiartiality "amid its endows gny.". The surro:.diig seencry of this do gbtful locale is wild, august aid imwiming beyond e powers of description. Chimney Top, Cheep Clif, arrapin and White Side are the four high. precipi us mountains that stand like huge sentinels round )out the borders of "the Valley,"-tq any nothing the connecting ridges with their "woods hanging or woods in gay theatric pride." The Chimney Top is a tall dark mountain, which, etus to threaten the traveller who passes the base, ith 6 the nodding horror " of its stony brown. The ew from the summit of this almost ingccessible peak, unsurpassed. The tourist has only to turn around i his tracks in order to survey a landscape, which retches out on every side beyound the reach of mor. 1 ken. On the one hand, a wild profusion of moun in tops, arrayed in blue and green, makes the eye he with an excess of the sublime ! Towards the nny South, the hills and the dales, th farm. and ie smoke curling up from the peaceful dwellings of an, the smooth horizon only a shade darker than w sky against which it seems to loan,-All these com se a picture which feen once becomes a part of emory, and inspires the dullest soul with proper re. ionses to these impassioned interrogaturios of the oble Dard: " Are not the mountains, waves and skies, a part Of use and my soul, as I of theta ? Is not the love of these deep in my heart With a pure passion 7" White Side is an extraordinary mountain. It has bold, rocky and projecting front; it4 elevation above do water is said to be nearly six thousand feet, and is the rource,-the great reservoir,-the head quar rs of many'waters. The branches of the Tenie e and of tie Savannah, are to l-s seqn here stray ng Tr towards.ev'ry poirt of the compass.

About four miles to the South of Cashier's Valley, sre is a settlement, and summer resort known as lorse Cove." This is the most sequestered nook I er saiw. From one point of observation, you look Svaia for an outlet. Steep mountains and frowning recipicus obstruct the view in every direction. As frst rode into this vale of seclusion I noticed, in. rticular, one large level Acid, in a fine state of cul vation, which was hounded on two sides by rocks, ack and paroeipltous, that tower upward ad still pard until they swell out into the dimension of ountains. Indeed, "horse Cove" is a delightful streat-romantic, beautiful, and well s'uited to in .e "heavenly, peensivo contemptatlon." Two ol r learned Judges are accustomed to spdued thsir immer vacation here, and it Is a pleasnre to know iat such a place is so well appreciated. - I must not neglect to mention that a considerable rtion of Cashier's Valley has b.eena bought up and sproved by South Carolinians. One of these landed -opretors, who is known to be a gentleman of taste, calth, genius and deserved popularity, has beene avelling, this season, on the continent of Euroep. a wrote to his Agent at MeKinley's Gap, the othei .y, that Switzerlnad and Italia iee plenaeit coune ceu, but thaet henceforth he intended to spenad the Siu r in Cashier's Ya~(ley;-for, said hi, as a place residence, it is aorc desirable tha4 any part af SOld World.
