Varil/, tha equtnoctlal, with all its surging*, must hare been upon this latitude, for the mountain waves; and the deep sea soundiogs of Maurj, are all portra/ed in tbe diversification* before us. There is a charm ia the couatrj, and partic ular!/ at this season of tha /ear; a charm which no one can appreciate or realise, noleea he has bean taruporaril/ released from the cloeed doors and the cares of business. All the tenses are charmed, and, besides the renewed vigor to life which (he 8pring time gives, the sight, the scent, the sound, all administer to one's happioess, and tend to heighten the ec- stacy of soul. 'Tit true, the air Is free, and it if the duty, as well as privilege of all, to enjoy it in its purity, together with the innumerable bounties of Nature; but the age has sought cut many inventions, and we are prone to go in pursuit of happiness under many difficulties and much embarrassment. The original man lived for centuries, but now his years arc num bered by tens instead; and into them are crowd- ad all the incongruities of which be cau con- oaivc. Surely this is an aga of progress; the pulse is quickened; a thousand ia as one; and the artist passes before us in a few moments, a panorama of the journey he was years in ac complishing. There hue been a great depart ure from the programme since tbe “chief end of man" was set forth, and be has been fast to ran after strange gods; but, until ho will look from Nature up to Nature’s God, and teke the elements in their simplicity, he will never reach that millenium of life to which reasons bly he may aspire. There are many puzsles in Art as well as in Nature, and the country roads have always been a curious subject to me. Their location, n many cases, seems to have been left to a something as trivial as a cowpath. Indeed, the brute creatures, and the deer in partic ular, are considered good engineers, and un derstand the “equation of distances" much better than many who have made a theoreti cal atudy of the science. Tbe projectors, how ever, of many of the country roads do not seem to be aware of the fact, that it may be farther over a hill than around it. In some cases, no doubt the reason has been to make tbe tillage acres as broad as possible, which is no small object ia these narrow vallies; but the purposes of the road would be much better aerftfi, to say nothing of the wear and tear of horse flesh, to go round, rather than go over a hill, when the distance is no greater, besides saving the pathy of those who have a feeling for the brute that serves them. There is soother nuisaace under the sun which should not be tolerated; the impu dence with which some petty farmers move tbeir fences cut, and close up the old beaten road, thus foroing the traveler to drive over stubble and slumps till he is worn down. There are many incidents on the road, and some of them would be humorous, if well told. It is not unusual for one traveling upon a new road, in the absence of guide boards and mile posts to ask the distance, and the way, ot any ay chance to moet, though oftirneshe gets but little satisfaction for his queries. Ha may have made a long journey, and, jaded like his beast, be looking for the first opportu nity to “ put up." He meets a man, who, on being asked the distance to C , says with apparent certainty, sit milts. Very good, he rides along for half an hour, and, as ha tup- poses, is fast approaching his resting plsce for for the night, when he meets another man, who tells him it is seven and a half mile# to The first impression is, that ha has got turned round, and is traveling back—but this cannot be, for he has kept the right side of his shadow all the time. Again he meets a person, aad asks the distance to D ’a Store? Sixteen miles, is the prompt reply, but, Yan kee-like, must ask one in turn. How far back to C town? Twelve miles, it is suppos ed to be. Well, it is sixteen miles to D ’* store, therefore it is just twenty-eight miles between the two places. This country has every appearance of hav ing been badly washed the past winter. Tha roads are much cut up, and the fields, in many places, instead of reoeiving a fertilising sedi ment, have had their surfaces torn up and car ried off by the torreuts. Tbe season is back ward, and the ground too wet to be ploughed, even on the first of May. There seems to be a scarcity of laborers in Gilmer, and many large fields have but a solitary plough running. Per haps they have all gone to the wars—though, most likely, the county is thinly settled, aud there ara very but few slave*. These people are loyal to the new flag, and will no doubt do their part in any contest before us. Verily, the time hna come when “ a nation shall be born in a day,” for It cannot be gain- sayed that the *' Confederacy ” ie tha vigorous gem of a vast and mighty Empire. Whatev er may have been the causes creati ng, or may ba the solicitude and expenee required to nurture, oertafo it ll, that the sew Republic ia a heal thy offspring. Once planted, the purity of her own native eoil and climate will purga tha sci on of the virus of the old stock, and, with the culture of a careful husbandry, hers it a proud and glorious destiny. If it ia dona well, it it well that it is dona; for the American people, with dl their affinities aad apparent unity in the ayes of tbe world, ara heterogeneous in their principles, douqasU* |MliU*al aad ralig- ious; and especially.** ibcircotaqrorcial terset* diverse. With it territory from ocean to ooean, and from the perpetual verdure of the tropics to the four-months’ snow-elad Mioh- U»ie* of *?fi was one of necessity, and never •otrtd have been consummated, bat for the de fence and self-preservation ef tbe infent colo nies ; and the diifederation which we now wit ness was inevitable from the beginning. Were tbe North and the Sooth—the slave and th* ft— Bute*—peaceably settled dowa In tbeir own Governments to-day, it is hardly possible that they would remain many years without further division*. The Eastern and the West ern States oennot always remain in the tame Confederacy, for they are evidently two peo ples In all their pursuits of industry. The Pa cific States have a people of their owa, who, from their remotenets, if from no desire, will most surely be left to their own government. April 30, 1801. DIRIGO. A Gsamu Aubakian Sonina.—The New York Tribune has a msgnifioent plan of turn ing the war to account. Virginia ia to bo swept by its irresistible besom aad its soil laid off into convieotly sized lots to be distribu ted among the “ brave fellow*" who are to ex- scute its terribla mandate. Considering that Greeley has repeatedly expressed himself to be a non combatant—ia other words, an ont- an-out, unmitigated dastard—this is a tolera bly vigorous programme to oomo from his sano- turn. We oan tall him by way of rejoinder that the laod he is eo eagerly oovetiog will be found cut up into muoh smaller free farms than those he has so unceremoniously divided it into—and these will be for the speeial ac commodation of his disciples when they make their appearence. Nice little homesteads of six feet by two will be ready for them to occupy whenever they are disposed to take posses sion.— Petersburg Express.
