After two months of martyrdom on the flat sea coast of the il Forest City,” where we weekly passed through every successive stage of roasting, broiling, baking, stewing, and all the varied tor tures of a Southern sun, ad infinitum, we find ourselves on the summit of this glorious mount iin, nestled among the clouds, breathing the pure air of a high er world, and reflecting with inexpressi ble pity upon the suffering masses of humanity who pant on the scorching plains below. As we stand on the dizzy brink of a rocky cliff fronting our hotel, drinking in cold morning dews, and holding with tenacious grasp fluttering hats, scarfs, shawls and ribbons, which the wild mountain breezes toss and tumble about in boisterous play, we feel like stretch ing forth our hands to the parched world beneath us, and crying in the voice of the Prophet, ‘ Ho ! every one that tbirsteth! Come ye.” Come, where the world’s great machine shops are still, and where an atmosphere of peace, seems to rest upon the heart, “Like tired eyelids Upon tired eyes.’’ What pencil of art can fix on canvass the glorious features of the scene, spread out like a realm of fairy land before us ? From the blue canopy above embossed by masses of fleecy clouds our eyes wander over the richly wooded mountain sides, which are interspersed with huge rocks, grey with sombre lichens, and plumed with wild flowers, and nodding ferns. Sauntering to the dizzy precipice which yawns on every side, and crushing under foot as we go, tangled grasses,odorous with dewy sage, and wild mountain thyme, we pause overwhelmed with the grandeur of the view rolled out beneath, and beyond the awful ledge on which we stand ! Far away down the terrible steep, sweeps a forest of feathery green, whose tallest pines appear in the dim distance like stunted shrubs, and beyond, in j patches of faded meadow land, the lit— I tic town of Chattanooga lies scattered, 1 like toy houses in a child’s nursery To the north, we see the Tennessee riv er winding through the valley like a vein of quick-silver, and by its side trains of cars, trail their slow length a’ong, like insects over a snail path Beyond this scene, girding the horizon in successive lines of'pale, purple and blue, sweeps the distant ranges of the Cumberland, Blue Ridge, and Allegany Mountains, whose lantly outlined peaks, are traced in lights, and shad ows too exquisite for description. Over all this magnificent panorama, steals, at “early morn, and dewy eve” a heavy mist which rolls through the gorges growing denser as it climbs the moun tain sides, until the whole valley seems an ocean of floating snow. Who can gaze upon such a scene, without feeling with the Poet and sweet Singer of Israel, “When I con sider thy heavens, the work of thy fin gers, the moon and stars which thou hast ordained, what is man, that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man, that thou vistest him ?” But it would scarcely be well for one to revel in the glorious scenery, and de lightful climate which this mountain af fords, without finding some draw—back in the way of physical comfort, or per sonal enjoyment. It were else too fair a heaven for earth born sons, and daugh ters, who might—forgetful of the necessary toils and cares of life—ex claim with the Lotus Eaters of Tenny son, “Let us remain !” A wise Provi dence has therefore decreed, that the two Hotels which crown this mountain, should not be conducted upon that scale which causes the country yeoman to whistle with delighted amazement, as he strolls—hands in breeches pockets— through the parlors, and dining halls of the 5th Avenue. As a “balance weight” against the glorious necessity of sleeping under blankets in the mid die of August, we find the flesh duly “mortified” by shuck mattresses and straw pillows, and occasionally—lest like the Apostle we be “over-much ex alted,” a wholesome penance is institu ted in the way of a stray corn cob among the nocturnal shucks. But “the sleep of a laboring man is sweet” whether he lie soft or hard, and after a long afternoon tramp over hiL and dale and “rocky glen,” one sinks into the arms af “Morpheus” without a murmur, or a struggle of discontent. So far as the table d’hote is concerned, we are pleased to testify to the excel lence of the fare. The materials are abundant, well cooked, and neatly served. True, the table appointments are none of the most elegant, but a keen appetite, sharpened by exercise, and bracing air, does not incline one to quarrel because his savory cut of ten der loin, or a tempting piece of broiled chicken, is to be impaled upon a three pronged steel fork ; neither does one feel disposed to make wry faces over the thinly plated iron spoon, which stirs a cup of smoking coffee, tempered with mountain cream. Occasionally, we have observed a few fair specimens of the gentle sex, shrug their dainty shoul ders, or a well curled moustache wreathe in disdain over a substantial banquet thus served, but on close examination, we have invariably ascertained that such parties either date back to a pa rental stem of the Fungus order, or bear about them the unmiatakable. tra ces of New England Cod Fish.. “For gentle Flood, doth gently bear itself and mocketh not, at things of humble state, neither doth it vaunt its goodly gifts, for usage, makes them seem but natural.” There are many points of interest upon this mountain, of which I should like to treat at length, but time, and cir cumstances forbid. Among the attrac tive features, stand prominently one or two chalybeate springs, the “Lake,” and “the City of Rock.” The latter, is a curious formation of bare, solid stone, cleft into numerous chasms, and regularly separated, by spaces of equal, or nearly equal distance. A variety of conjectures have arisen with regard to the cause of this singu lar feature, but the most probable seems to be that of convulsion from internal fires. I will only speak of one other re markable “natural feature” connected with Lookout, and close my communi cation for the present. This, is an old quadroon woman who lives in a small cottage on the western slope of the ridge, and who is generally known as “Rebel Aunt Sallie.” The term “Reb el” is well merited, for a stauncher Southern heart, does not beat in Dixie. Through the whole war, this patriotic old soul labored for the ‘boys in grey,’ and her doors were ever open to the sick arid hungry soldier who bore the “Southern Cross.” But woe to the luckless Yankee who invaded her do main. No money could extract a loaf of bread from her larder,-no art decoy her into a hospitable reception. The “Blue Coats” invariably went away as they came, empty handed. A few weeks ago, when President Davis was sojourning on the mountain, he made Aunt Sallie a visit. The old woman knelt at his feet, and kissing his hand, said with streaming eyes, “I bless the good Lord my son, that I, an old Southern mother have seen thy face at last” ! The most touching instance of her patriotism occurred last May, when the graves of our soldiers were being decked with their annual tribute of flow ers. A party of ladies visited “Aunt Sallie,” to beg of her, a few roses for contribution. “My daughters” replied the old woman, “I have but one rose tree, wliich is blooming over my dead baby, but you may take every rose up on it for the graves of the poor boys, who fell fighting for our country” ! All honor to such hearts as these, whether they throb in princely halls or log cabins. There is no bond stronger than the sacred love of country. It unites the lofty and the lowly, and bridges over with its heaven born fire,, some of the most impassable gulfs be tween man and man. But we must now take our leave of “Aunt Sallie” and wander back to our cottage, for a burst of music from our good string band, proclaims the advent of dinner, for which we feel fully pre pared to render ample justice. Yours truly, TRAVELER. Book and Job work, of all kinds, PROMPTLY AND NEATLY' EXECUTED AT THIS OFFICE. Interviewing the Crown Prince, French Newspaper Correspondents at their ]For&—the Prince on the Battle of Woerth. Among the French who fell into the hands of the Prussians after the battle of Woerth were two correspondents of the Paris press, M. Henri Chabrillart, of the Figaro, and M. Cardon, of the Gaulois. Each of these gentlemen has published an account of his adventures. At Soulz they were brought into the preseuce of the Crown Prince, and the interview is thus described by M. Cha brillart : I confess I am vory much embarrass ed. If I draw a flattering portrait of the Prince it will be said that I am sold to the Prussians ; if I draw an unfavor able picture of him, to gratify any ma levolent passion, I shall be guilty of injustice and falsehood. I am a repor ter, which means a kind of photograph er. I shall therefore simplj- and truly s’ate what I saw, and what was said. Those who may be dissatisfied with my account must deal with the Prince them selves. It is not my fault that he is human. Would to Heaven that all Germans were like him ; but, unfortu nately, it is not so. Prince Frederic William, heir to the Crown of Prussia, is a man of tall stature, thin, with a calm and placid countenance; but in the curve of his aquiline nose and di lating nostrils there are evidences of energy, while the rapidity of his glance convinces you of his decision. A full, fair beard softens the somewhat stern expression of his features. He has great simplicity of manner, and affects rather a ki»i of bourgeois style of speaking, thinking, and general beha vior. He was dressed in a black tunic with red collar and facings, without any embroidery or gold braid, upon the shoulder a small epaulet to indicate his rank, but no other distinguishing orna ment. Be wore a small black cap bor dered with red, and the whole uniform was severely simple. He Speaks French with great purity, without foreign ac cent, beyond a slight German intona tion and occasional hesitation at certain words. ‘Do you speak German, sir ?’ said he to me. Wo, Prince, not sufficiently.’ ‘I am sorry for it, as otherwise you would have Heard in what manner our troops speak of yours, and in what es teem they hold them.’ I thank you very much for that opinion.’ ‘Qh, nt js.quite deserved. We have all admiredtbe tenacity and the.cour age which have been evinced by even. the humblest of your soldiers.’ Tnen, with much delicate considera tion, and almost making excuses for mentioning the facts to us, he tolcLps that they had taken between 3,000 and 4,000 prisoners, thirty guns, six mi trailleuses and two eagles.’ “Among the prisoners,’ he said, ‘is General Raoult. I went this morning to see him at Reichshofen, where he lies wounded, his hip and thigh being broken ; I fear that he is now dying. He is a brave officer, and he has given me some addresses in Paris to which he wishes letters to be sent.’ ‘But, Prince,’ I observed, ‘the other prisoners also have families’ ‘I have thought of that. I have had them supplied with writiog materials; the letters will be sent unsealed to our Consul at Geneva, who will forward them to France.’ ‘Prince, we thank you on behalf of the mothers whose grief you are about to assuage.’ » ‘I do nut like war, gentlemen. If I should reign I would never make it. Now, despite my love of peace, this is the third campaign that 1 have been compelled to make. I went over the battle-field yesterday. It was frightful. If it only depended upon myself this war would end here. It is your Min isters and the Emperor who would have it, it was not we who wanted it. And yet the Emperor has been very good to rne and very kind to my wife. The last time that 1 saw him was at the Tuilleries on the 12ih of January, when he said to me, ‘You know that I have found a new Minister.’ That was this M. Ollivier, who now makes this war against us.’ ‘It is terrible, indeed ; and I think your artillery is very formidable.’ ‘No, sir, it is not superior to yours, but we make different use of it from what you do, placing it more free'y with the advanced posts. Your aim is very good-too good, indeed, for we have lost, I think, more men than you nave. I have regiments which have lost twenty-nine or thirty officers. But. we have taken prisoners, and that res tores our advantage.’ ‘An enormous advantage, for you. know well what you had before you yesterday.’ ‘Nearly forty thousand men, the corps of Marshal McMahon and a di vision of the Seventh Corps. I did not intend to attack, wishing only to make a rcconnoissance iu force, but one is not always able to put an end to fight when once it has beguD. It was fortunate for us, as he would doubt less have received reinforcements, and we should have had still harder work the next day.’ ‘Prince, it seems to me that you are very well informed concerning our army.’ ‘One must be so,’ he said smiling. ‘But,’said I, wilfully committing an error, ‘it was your entire army which was engaged, 250,000 men at least.’ ‘Not so mauy—180,000 men. Tney all fought well; but if the Bavarians had marched as well as our men, we should have had it all over by noon, instead of fighting until aftersix o’clock. I should not give battle to your army unless I was superior in cumbers— otherwise I would prefer to retire.’ ‘You have one great advantage, Prince, in the precision of the move ment of your troops. From the tower of Woerth we admired, though with the grief caused by witnessing your success, the two flauking movements which you effected upon our position. ‘The hills of Freischweller are real fortifications, and I did not care to at tack them directly. By turning them I lost fewer men.’ ‘We are very much obliged, Prince, for the few minutes you have been pleased to devote to us, but we do not see with you the Duke of Coburg, whom we desire to thaok, for it was he who saved us 3 r esterday, and, notwith standing his many anxieties, he has not lb-gotten the promise which he made to speak to you about us.’ ‘1 will perform your commission.’ ‘We now ask that we may be taken back to the advanced posts.’ — Public Debt Reduction.—A let ter has been written to Senators who have applied for information to the Treasury Department, showing that the total reduction of the pulic debt from March 1st, 1869, to August l9t, 1870, is $147,247,245, It is added that by comparing siaternenjs of March 1st,, 1869, and July 1st, 1870, the bonded debt bearing interest in coin might ap pear to have increased, because op to that date bonds purchased and held by the Department had not been deducted from that outstanding debt. Since August 1st, however, they do not ap pear in the total amount of the debt. A Bachelor says that all he should ask for in woman would be a good tem per, health, good understanding, agreea ble physiogaomy, figure, good connec tions, domestic habits, resources of amusement, good spirits, conversation al talents, elegant manners, and mon- ey These are the questions that we sub mit to Mr. Greeley. We ask for bis judgment on the case of this bribed Secretary of State, not upon any, mere rumor, but upon Senate Document No. 133, published by the .Legislature ol Massachusetts iu March last. Shall we have any response ?
