To the student of Nature, atd to persons of fervid imagination, this part of tho world presents a rare field for investigation.

Not in the least disappointed; I viewed these frowning precipices with pleasing emotions. " Grand, gloo.my, and peculiar," these far famed "Rocks" hang over thc highway like thc outer-wall of some giants'gloomy castlo. Whilst looking up at these embattled heights, the talcs of romance seem to be realized, and tho mind is suddenly carried iiwny " through vast of new end sweet imaginings." But what crashing sound comos from across the madly-plunging river to break this exquisite reverie? It is the Railroad operatives felling trees to open up a track for the iron horse whose shrill neighing will soon echo against these crags of everlasting granito.

The Prince, in discus sing a financial proposition, permitted himself to say": " When one deals with Germans one is sure to be cheated." - The officer, Col.

To tips thc Princp made answer by slapping the Colonel's face. So gross an insult could neither be avenged upon tba heir to thc throne, nor endured by an honorable.mau. The Colonel, after stating the facts to thc Emperor, sat down and wrote the Grand Duke: fi Ypur Imperial Highness has offered me a mortal insult. When you read this letter I shall have ceased tttve;" and having written this, he deliberate ly blew out his brains. It is only just ti the Emperor, Alex gndej- II, to say that he was profoundly shocked by Uus sai] if?faip.

We continue to press this all-impor tant duty home to our land-owners: Never let your lands pass from your hands without you well know you are selling io a friend of thc Hovi'h, and oj"j the xohitc men of the South. Besides, I lands ?re advancing rapidly in pri?e, ?nd to hold them is simply thc host in vestment you can possibly make. No j doubt hundreds <->f v -jbsan, and hold on to your Lands. Below we copy from a Richmond pa per an interesting article on this sub ject, which we hope will be attentively read by land-owners : We sometimes fear, and we have rea son to fear, that the scheme of the men now. uppermost in the counsels of the North is so to clog Southern industry Arith such impediments and drawbacks as to discourage and disgust those en gaged in it, and induce them to throw their lands into market. The glut of lands would be so great as to reduce the pr ce to a standard that would ena ble Northerners-to pick and choose, and purchase up the desirable estates in every locality. Thc millions of unem ployed capital at the North could find no more profitable investment: . The investment of. paper money in cotton lauds would he almost tantamount to its conversion into cotton, the equiva lent of gold, and without any loss of discount." Such a scheme, pertinacious ly adhered to, might result, in the course! of a few short years, in an entire change in the proprietorship of the soil. Tim whole soil would be transferred to North ern hands, and cultivated by the negro laborers now resident on it, who would be hired by the new owners at a scale of prices regulated by no competition, and adjusted at the option of the new owners. These new proprietors, thus colonizing the South, would have all the. aid that friendly Congressional f.-gr. i 1 ........ Livui uiiuou mus ecvviiiiu here, and the deputies of those remain ing at home, would be chosen the Fed eral officers for the. several States the Judges, Attorneys, . Marshals, Clerks, Collectors of the Revenue, Post masters, &c. A part of the scheme would boto confer suffrage .upon, the negroes, and then the Northern settler.' and negroes, combining with the so called Union men of the South, wouk aspire to control the States in their in ternal domestic policy. In process ol time, they would out vote the Southen whites, fill the State offices with their own men and make all the laws to sui themselves. Owning the soil, having the labor of-the negroes, fayprpclbyn sympathizing Government in every in spect, they would reap and enjoy all the immense "profits of the colton, to bacco, sugar, rice, corn and wheat crop, in the meantime what would become of thc Southern whites after parting wih their lands? In numerous instances they would be cheated out of the pu chase money. When honestly paicl. it would perhaps be invested in stock that would become valueless-some fancy stock gotten up for the occasion by shrewd New Englanders. If well in vested, in nine cases out of ten the in terest would be inadequate as a support. The principal would' baye to be en croached upon, until interest, principal and all would be consumed. Then would be presented the. melancholy spectacle of almost a nation without lands without money, without employment. Would they come down to manual la bor ? If so they would have to work side by .side with the negroes, and on the soil they once Qwned, for the l^ew Englaud proprietors and task-mastors, If they did npt work, they and their families WQU)4 baye to" starve. Soine few might be abie to ?rajgrate t.Q Mexi co, Brazil, Venezuela, but nine out of ten would not have the means to remore their families. A people thus hemmed in, thus pauperised, thus driven to des peration, would have but one resource -revolution. If successful, this might Cjp,able then} jo rqepyer. their lands and their lost position'. An earthquake, the forked lightning, an avalanche, are' not more tobe dreaded than a brave race thus driven to the extremity of despair. -It matte -a not that they wpulcj. bo ultimately subdued ; that con sideration would' not petftopa deter thom. Their first rush would be upon the occupants of the lands'upon which they anet their children were born and reared, and it'would'be like the rush of hungry tigers upon their prey. In every aspect in which it can be. viewed, a stringent, cruel, repressive Solicy towards the Southern people is readful to contemplate. Although we see no symptom of relenting on tho part of the Radicals, we cannot alto gether repress the hope that a merciful God will, change the hearts of those I yh.q pursue us with such inhuman raa !

The time is arriving when the people of this country will oe in position to dscid?; irrespective of other political questions, upon a matter nearer to their individual and the national welfare than all thc rest. The point is whether spe cie payment shall be resumed and gold . and silver coin of the United States be substituted in place of the present depreciated greenbacks and pos tal currency. The living issues which divide the two' great existing parties are chiefly financial and economical. The former adherents of the Republican party, who joined and clung to it in order to ena ble it to carry out the special purposes for which it was organized, are now left free to consider whether it has a policy in regard to these present issues which entitles it to their continued support. Parties arise, from time to time, in all countries, for the fulfillment of certain missions. Having succeeded in what they set out to accomplish, they become worthless,-their ability to supply the next prevailing want proves equal to their special aptitude for the previous work. When it becomes evident to the masses of the Republican party .that their party is unfitted, by reason of its political traditions and entanglements, and the prejudices of its leader's, to se cure the financial peace and the busi ness nrosperity wh eh the nation now party of the past, ana mat mc ~ - eratic party is the party of the present and the future. The mission of the Re publican party was to enforce the abo lition of slavery through war. This it has accomplished. The mission of the Democratic party is to enforce equal rights for all men and a hard-mo -.ey currency for the people! This it has not yet accomplished : the great work is still before it. The Republican party came into power, and flooded the coun try with a depreciated paper currency, which thrust gold and silver rapidly out of circulation, and made them arti cles of speculative merchandize. Thc plain and convincing record, flinted elsewhere in our columns this morning, proves that the Democratic party, in and out of power, has consist -ntly up held a metallic circulating medium, and fought with its.might against what Mr. Madison called that " ghost of money," a paper promise to pay. The citations made from messages, and speeches ol' Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, Benton, Tierce, Buchanan, Silas Wright, Seymour, and others in the line of Democratic statesmen, leaw no doubt of the faithful persistence with which the groat jeaders of thjs party have con tended for an' equitable currency for all classes of citizens. " If the people," said Mr. Silas "Wright, " support and elect those men who are in favor of an unsound currency, they must expect to suffer the evils of de preciated paper." The people who sup ported thc Republican party-depreci ated greenbacks and all-at a time when they held everything else subor dinate to/the successes which that party Has achieved, are cal'iet] upon tp r-f?jleet. If the people now want a sound curren cy, the power to secure it is in their blands. "Thc control which the p:ople have over the matter is through their respective legislatures, State and na tional. If that control bc exercised in favor of a sound currency, there must and will be a sound currency, be cause both the Government ant] people will jt." Th? only party which will it, and has willed it from the first, is the Dem ocratic party. The Republican parly has willed just the contrary ; so that the people, *-ho have got all through the war and the moral questions per taining tp thp war, haye simply to choose whether they will vote" with tho party which has actively in hand this present practical interest of theirs, or with the party which has ignored and trampled upon it until it stultifies itself by pre tending to have any regard for it at all. Mr. Benton's declaration that, if he " were to establish a workingman's par ty, it should be on the basjs-of karo] money-a hard money party against a paper party"-was not even so perti nent in his time as it is now ; for the Democratic party, which has immemo rially identified itself with the .vorking people, is here ranged actively in thc lista Hgnjnsf- thfnynrst paper party thal tho country WM W We invite Republicans to a candid perusal of the article which so fully j vindicates the traditional fidelity of the , Democratic party to sound doctrine in ! regard to the currency.

Fellow-citizens', let us hence forth exert all our influence io improve our State Government. Let us do what we can. It is our duty to attend to this tax. Let us do it thoroughly. Make every man white or black, pay the tax, and lessen the inequalities of which we have justly complained.-Fairfield Her ald. The Radical scallawags and carpet baggers of South Carolina have a hand some political scheme which they are attempting to make use of to inflame thc negroes. At Newberry, in that State, n few days since, a depraved wretch of the carpet-bag order made a speech to the negroes in which he ad vised them to refuse to engage them selves at any price to any one known to be a Democrat, and that by that means the Democrats would not be able to cul tivate their lands-they .would have to be sold for taxes, and then would fall into the hands of the negroes ai slight cost. This is the kind of talk the North ern jail-birds in the South indulge in ; this is the style of vermin a Jacobin Congress keeps large standing armies to protect ; and if a few of the decent people of the South knock the head off such a reprobate, or dangle him to a tree, in their efforts to restore quiet to UVJ .IL. FRED. DOUGLASS, JR., THE SON-IN JJAW QF THE PROFESSOR !-The journals of the country are circulating the an nouncement of the marriage of Doug lass, Jr., the nigger, to " the accomplish ed daughter of Professor A. Moly neaux Heatt, of Harvard University." This sounds well, and carries the idea that the Professor is a white man. Molyneaux-for he is not known . as Heatt-is a nigger who was at one time loafing about the English manu facturing towns as a prize fighter ; but ?ow as are the English bruisers, we be lieve a white man and the nigger never made up a prize match. He was, how ever, picked up by some Harvard genius and brought over to give the students lessons in boxing, and his " professor ship" simply embraces the art of punch ing the heads of the collegians during '.heir term of study. Mrs. Fred. Doug lass, Jr., is the daughter of this nigger prize fighter, who is in the pay of the Harvard boys, to teach them the use of the gloves, a sort of Professor of black eyes and bloody noses.-Day Book. MURDER.-From passengers arriving in this cityjast evening, we leard that a white man named Griffin was killed at his place of business at Whitaker'? Turn Oui,, on the Wilmington and Wel don Railroad, yesterday morning. ' It would seem that a party of four ne groes,'acting under authority of a war rant issued by another negro, who claim ed to i>e a magistrate, attempted to ar rest Mr. (yriffin, who., refusing to ac ]jnbwleflge tho validity ol' the warrant, was shot dead by them in his own store. The negroes then took to the woods, and, at last accounts, had not been arrested.-Wilmington Journal. What it Costs. Thc Lancaster Ledger states that it took the sum of $144G to pay off the as sessors pf Lancaster County. It is esti mated that the work occupied the as sessors 482 days at a cost of $3 a day. Under the old State Government it cost about $G0O to assess and collect the taxes of the county. Now it will 'cost : For County Assessors. $1446 " County Auditor..'.'....... 1000 " Tax Collector. 1200 Total. .$3645 We presume that the same condition of things exists in every county in the State. The cost of our local adminis tration is trebled and quadrupled; we are overrun by officia]s of all sorts and sizes ; all that the Radicals may 1H1 their pockets and grow fat. The Radicals are, in truth, as much the enemies of the frugal working man as they are the enemies of decency and good order. Take Congressman Bowen and Governor Scott as specimens, 'i]ipy avp trusted by their party. No Radi cal hand is Jifte.fi against thom.

The traffic, therefore, had a further lease of twenty, years, an interval which was most industriously improved. To the presence of these antagonistic races upon thc same soil we owe'all the horrors and calamities of the late civil war. With that frightful lesson so re cently before us, it might be supposed that we would not be inclined to encour age the immigration, of another for eign race as incapable of mingling with tis as the negro. But, even although fools are Said to learn by experience, there are many people in the United States who do not. They encourage the. Chinese emigration to the Pacific coast; which, in the way ic is carried on, is buUlittle, if any, better than the African slave trade. They favor it upon the same grounds ; that it will reduce the price of labor-reduce that which already is not half as well remu nerated as it ought to be for the inter ests of society. The four hundred mil lion of Chinese will require but little pressing to divide with us the heritage, if not the supremacy, on our Western coast. .

There is some little tali, about a cir cumstance. y>:hich happened the other dav to an exalted Washington official. It seems to be my duty to record it. I will call the sufferer General George. Behling, for thc sake of convenience. He is said to be a right good man, but was always liberal in his views and a very sociable sort of person. He used to go about a good deal, and among other places he used to go up to So crates, on the Hudson River ?ailroild, every now and then, and -?toy all night at a hotel kapi by Mr. and Mrs. Wa? uer. In due time he fell in love with a refined and cultivated: young lady in Brooklyn, and immediately put himself upon his very best behavior. In the course of six months she married him, and g?ve it as her opinion that she was marrying perfection itself! The young cquple w^ere very happy. They began to.frisk around and enjoy the honey moon. Presently they ran up to Socrates a id camped at Mr. Wagner's hotel. In thc evening George was sitting on a sofa in the parlor, with his. arm around his bride's shoulders, when Mrs. Wag ner entered. She struck an attitude. She began to get angry in a minute. Then she said : " Look here, my fine fellow, I've had aa much of this as I'm 'going to stand.- There you are down on that register as 'General George Behling ami lady again. You've done that thing sixteen times in eighteen months, and you've fetched a fresh trol lop along every time. Young woman, march ! Vamose the ranch, you brazen faced huzzy !"

This party lias stood *Qip ? manfully for the rights of the Southern whites. It has fought their battles over and over again. It has lost victories because of its Southern sympathies. An?l this is the party that the intelligence, worth and substance of the South are called upon to discard. "Wc know that fhe South ?aust and should look out for herself.' We acknowledge that there is no wisdom in sentimentally clinging to obsolete notions, or in adhering to effete pplitical organisations. But, in our judgment, tho time has not yet come for tis of the South to discard our Demo cratic alliance. That time may or may not come in the future. For the present, let us of the Sout h pr .'servo our unity, remain true to our convictions, watch, labor and wait. So far, at least, as the Democracy of South Carolina is con cerned, we feel assured that it. will res olutely close its ears to the blandish ments of the conservative Republican movement, aud, avoiding this entang ling alliance, will hold itself aloof from the premature endorsement of an u?& veloped and immature party movement, wlnse tactics have yet to pass the ordeal of an ampler examination and a keener criticism than it has yet been possible to give to them. 1 In politics, as in war, to make a blunder is almost to commit a crime. The Davenport (Iowa) Democrat; i ells of a- singular caso of superstition: "Chatting with an aged lady, we noticed the wonderful preservation 4and beauty of her teeth, and could uot refrain from mentioning it. 1 Yes,' said she, ' I never h,ad a toothache or lost a tooth, because I bit the snake.' On inquiry, she stated that when children at home, her father had made them bite a rattlesnake? he holding the reptile by the head and tail ; each child bit along the entire. length of the backbone, not violently, but just so as to indent the skin; and this was considered an infallible recipe against toothache and decay, and which the old lady believes up to the present hour."
