Underwood, partaken the generous hospitalities ft' the ciri- <,f that interesting and picturesque —North-cast Georgia. From editor Uhristy’s account we make the following extracts: o On Thursday morning, (Court having adjourned the day before,) the party, in response to invitations extended to them by hospitable citizens of the “Tennessee Valley,” (a portion of the county lying North of tiie celebrated “ Rabun Gap,”) proceeded in buggies and on horseback fo that interesting section. At the Gap, we turned to the right a few hundred yards, to tee where the waters of the Savannah and Tennessee rise within a few yards of each other. A ditch of a foot in depth would carry either stream into the other. .Just here Col. Ruder- wood related an Indian legend, which may not he familiar to all our readers. Many generations before the appearance of the white man, a young brave of the (’herokees fell in love with the fair daughter of a Chief of the Yemassees, and solicited her hand in marriage. The Chief (to sliow the impossibility of giving liis consent) replied that when the waters •of the Savannah and Tennessee were found together, then might his daughter wed the Cherokee. Disheartened, the young man returned homeward, following the valley of the Savannah towards the {mountains, knowing that it would con duct him to a low gap. To his surprise lie found the head spring of the Tennes see within a few feet of the source of the Savannah. With unboundnd joy lie hastened to the Ycmassee village, and, accompanied by the chief and bis family, returned to the “Rabun Gap,” where the young lovers were joined together, and there “ pitched their tent,” and from whence, in their old age, they departed to the “happy hunting grounds,” “ Next morning a portion of our compa ny, with our hospitable entertainer and some of his neighbors, went deer driving, , w omfi went fishing for speckled trout., and the remainder to the Kastatocc Falls.— The drivers and the fishermen, some mounted and some on foot, crossed a mountain and went into the dominions of his Excellency Jonathan White. Ten deer were started by the drivers, but only one killed. Col. Underwood was the for tunate sportsman whose unerring aim brought it down. The party were out about two hours. During this time two o fishermen ” might have b,ceo seen po king about among the laurel thickets of Middle Creek, a large, bold and beauti fully transparent stream, so clear that the smallest object could be seen on the bot tom, vainly endeavoring to induce the “ finny tribe,” which they believed were concealed in those waters, to “ to lay hold ot the bait set before them.” After proceeding up stream some distance, they came to a succession of cataracts many hundred feet in height, and above which they knew uq mortal fish could ever go O’Mahony’s Defense of the Campo Bel lo Fizzle.

Though surprise were indispensable per hair : secrecy and to prompt and effective work, the whole of the aims of the exp:dition, together with its destination, were next morning laid bare to friend and foe through the columns of the New York press.

K. I. R. Indications of this spirit of impatience were rapidjy increasing in this country, while at the same time vast numbers of the organized I. R. B. were pouring into our ports in consequence of the suspen sion of the Habeas Corpus act. These twQ .causes combined brought a pressure upou these headquarters that it seemed impossible to resist without imperilling the existence of the Fenian organization. A session of the central council was sum moned in the emergency, in order to de termine the course to be pursued under the existing circumstances. During the session, which commenced on the 17th of March last, at a joint meeting, com posed of C. C. and the chiefs of bureaus, an expedition to Campo Bello was pro posed by II, Doran Killian, and warmly advocated by Mr. P. A. Finnefc. The island was represented by the proposer of the measure to be neatral territory, claim- ed'alike by Great Britain and the United States, while no clear title to its owner ship had been established by either. It was proposed that the men engaged in its occupation proceed to Kastport, Me,, without arms, and in civilian attire, so as to commit no overt violation of the laws of the American Republic, while muni tions of war, arms and other supplies were to be sent to the same place by a different route. Upon gaining possession of the island, it was represented that an armed force could be organized there, either for the immediate invasion of Ireland or for the manning of privateers to prey upon British commerce, and thus commence hostilities. It was also forcibly insisted Turning back, they fished down stream j on, and, from tho encouraging promises until they reached another cataract ot greater magnitude. The mystery was at once explained. They had beeu fishing between two impassable cataracts, aud would have done as well iti a tub af wa ter! Of course the fishermen, who had ;nado large calculations, were teased no little by the move successful huntsmen, when they all met at the hospitable resi dence of Mr William Garland, of Macon county, North Carolina, where dinner awaited them.” I A Camel's Reveuge- A lad of about fourteen had conducted a large camel, laden with wood from one village to another, at half an hour s dis tance or so. As the animal loitered or turned out of its way, its conductor struck it repeatedly, and harder than it seems to have thought he had a right to do. But not finding the occasion favorable for taking immediate quits, it “ bode its time;” nor was the time long in coming. A few days later the same lad had to re- conduct the beast, but unladen, to his own village. When they were about halt way on the road, and at some distance from any habitation, the camel suddenly stopped,’ looked deliberately round in every direction to assure itself that no one was within sight, and finding the road far and near of passers-by, made a step forward, seized the unlucky boy’s head in its monstrous t^ftuh, and lilting him up in the air flung him down again on the earth with the upper part of his .skull completely torn off, and his brains scattered on the ground. Having thus satisfied its revenge the brute quietly re sumed its pace toward the village, as though nothing were the matter, till some men who had observed the whole, though unfortunately at too great a dis tance to bo able to afford timely help, came up and killed it,—f\fyrave ; s Trav els in made to u$ from mauy quarters, proved with apparent likelihood that, wore the first blow successfully struck from this, or, indeed, from any other point, it would be sustained and followed up by the friends of Ireland and the enemies of Great Britain throughout the United States; that privateers would be exten sively fitted out; and that Great Britain would be attacked it* her commerce upon the American waters. Other eventuali ties were brought forward, to which it were unwise to refer to here. Further more, it was shown, and I have since as certained its correctness, that Campo Bel lo could be taken within the space of one day after the arrival of our friends in Kastport. , The majority of the Central Council and myself were opposed to the raid upon Campo Bello as an isolated movement, though in favor of it as a movement co operative with a descent upon Ireland and the launching of privateers. It was also the all but unanimous opinion of those present that no movement should be make until after the arrival of James schooner laden with supplies for the ex pedition. Under these circumstances, and being informed that nothing further could be done—nothing at all commensurate with what was expected—I telegraphed an order for the prompt recall of the men. This order was not complied with, and thence arose the necessity for large ex penditures for the men’s support, as once they were th<6f<e I could not desert them. Now that this thing is passed without loss of life, I must say that I see many encouraging features about it. Not the least of these are the courage, hardihood devotedness and discipline of both officers and men—their unwillingness to return without a fight—their willingness to go anywhere they were wanted to meet the ancient foe of their race. The ghief drawback consists in the disorganization consequent upon failure, and the disappointment of the brave hearts of our men. It was the plan, or rather the handling of the plan, that was defective. The men of the rank and file were equal to any task commensurate with their numerical strength. The whole matter is now under consid eration before a select committee appoin ted by a convention of the Manhattan district. The report will be placed before you before many days. There have been some great mistakes made by myself and others connected with this affair, and much discontent and bickering has thence arisen. The latter will, I trust, be obliterated by the arrival of James Stephens, who is expected here early next week. To him, to the Directory, as to a convention of the F. B., I shall more fully explain the inducements that led me to abandon, for a while, my own well-tried policy of look ing to Ireland, and Ireland alone, as the place to begin our Fenian campaign. Whether this great mistaken move of mine be pardoned or not, in consideration of my constant successes under severest trials, during the past eight years, you shall ever find me prompt to do my duty as a Fenian, whether private in the ranks or in an official position. The lesson I have learned teaches me, and should teach all true Fenians, that we should never forget the grand revolutionary maxim: Blacker and blacker grows the dusky air! ’Tis night, except as through the rendin cloud Leap the huge fires, the eehein A moment rolling back the gloomy shroud, Aud lighting each peak with mighty glare.

Who hath suie defense But lie whose safety is Omnipotence? “The patient dint and powder shock Can blast an empire like a rock.” It must not be forgotten that the Cam po Bello movement was expected to have been simultaneous with the launching of an Irish ironclad, owned by the Irish Republic, in the American waters. In this there arose, unexpectedly considera ble delay, consequent upon “ red tape ” formalities, and thus one of the principal requtsitc-g for the successful carrying out of the plan was not available in time.

Du Chaillu, the celebiwted African traveler, and the first discoverer of the gorilla, thus describes the capture of the first specimen he succeeded in taking alive: “ On the 4th of May I had one of the greatest pleasures of my whole life.— Some hunters who had been out on my account brought in a young gorilla alive. I cannot describe the emotions with which I saw the struggling little brute dragged into the village; all the hardships I had endured in Africa were repaid at that moment. It was a little fellow of be tween two and three years old, two feet aud six inches long, and as fierce and stubborn as a grown animal could have been, « By the hunters’ account they were going, five in number, to a village near the coast, and walking very silently through the forest. Then they heard what they immediately recognized as the cry of a young gorilla for its mother.— The forest was silent. It was about noon and they immediately determined to fol low the cry. Presently they heard it again. Gun in hand, the brave fellows crept noislcssly towards a clump of irood, where the baby gorilla evidently was.-— They knew the mother would be near; agd there was a likelihood that the male, the most dieaded ot all, might be there, too. But they determined to risk all, and, if possible, take the young one alive, knowing what joy it would be for me. Presently they perceived the bush moving, and crawling a little further on in dead silence, scarce breathing with excitement, they beheld what has seldom been seen, even by the negroes, a young gorilla, sit ting on the ground, eating some berries that grew close to the earth. A few feet further on sat the mother, also eating of the same truit. “ Instantly they made ready to fire, and none too soon, for the old female saw them as they raised their guns, and they had to pull their triggers without delay. Happily, they wounded her mortally and she fell. The young one, hearing the noise of the guns, ran to his mother, hiding his face and embracing her body. The hunters immediately rushed to the two, hallooing for joy as they ran on ; but this roused the little oue, who instantly let go his mother and ran to a small tree, which be alitnbcd with agility, where he sat and roared at them savagely. They were now perplexed how to get at him : no one cared to run the chance of being bitten by the savage little beast, and shoot it they would not. At last they cut down the tree, and as it fell, dexterously threw a cloth over the head of the young mon ster, and thus gained time to secure it while it was blinded. With all these pre cautions, one of the men received a severe bite on the hand and another had apiece taken out ot his leg. “ As the little brute, though so dimin utive, and the merest baby for age, was astonishingly strong, and by no means good tempered, they could not lead him. Ho constantly rushed at them, so they were obliged to get a forked stick, in which his neck wag inserted in such a way that he eould not escape, and yet cculd be kept at a safe distance. In this uncomfortable way he was brought into the village, where the excitement was in tense. As the animal was lifted out of all eon- TTTTTOT -Tin I y n WnULlbiMlLtlj OR RETAIL. with the most obstinate tempt. “ On the fourth day he managed to gnaw his bars asunder, and the prison was discovered empty. The utmost con sternation prevailed in the camp; the hands were called together, and a recap turing expedition resolved on. However, the cunning Joe (so Du Chaillu christen ed him) had not strayed far. Returning to his room to fetch a gun, a terrible, yet, to the explorers’ears, delicious, growling emanated from beneath the bedstead, aud there was master Joe Gorilla crouched down, and regarding his master with an unmistakable ‘touch me if you dare’ ex pression. “ How to take him was a puzzling question. He had shown such strength and such rage already that not even 1 , dared to run the chance of being badly ^ bitten in a hand-to-hand struggle. Mean- j time Joe stood in the middle ot the room looking about for his enemies. I dispatch ed some fellows for his net, and, waiting till he became quiet, opened the door quickly and threw the net over his head ; fortunately we succeeded at the first throw iu fatally entangling the young monster, wlioroared frightfully, andstruck and kicked in every direction under the net. I took hold of the. back of his neck, two men seized his arms and another his legs, and thus held by four men, this ex traordinary little creature still proved troublesome. We carried him as quickly as we could to the cage, which had been repaired, aud locked him in. Poor Joe, however, died soon after.” Fanning' is a Noble Calling. Farmers, as a class, are far from appre ciating the grandeur of their position, the nobleness of their calling, the intrin sic value of the labor. They do not plant themselves on the dignity of their profession; they do not feel the conscious ness that their calling is the very founda tion and corner-stone of the majestic temple which we call modern civilization. The wealth, the industry, the prosperity of our country are drawn directly or indi rectly from the cultivation of the soil, from the labors of the husbandmen. Let the farmer cease for a single season to sow his seed and cultivate his fields, and the whole machinery of the world’s in dustry would be sadly deranged or come to a full stop. The seas would be no longer whitened with the sails of com merce; the marts of trade would become silent, and the grass would grow up in our now thronged and busy cities; the rumbling car would no longer glide over our rairloads, and the ten thousand en gines, which are doing the work of mil lions of human hands, would be still as the grave. No one can imagine, much less depict in words, the desolation which would ensue, should the farmer for a sin gle year rest from his labors, and cease to cultivate his fields. We would, it we could, do something to recall the tanner to a sense of the dignity of his pursuit; to a realization of the usefulness of his calling; to a full appreciation of the high 111 and honorable position which he might hold among the sons of men and the childreu of God. We repeat again what wc believe to be the sober truth, that our farmers do not, as a class, at all comprehend the lwi"th Tobacco.
