A Trip to t’.io Mountains.
The editor of the Athens Watchman

an y with Judge Hutchins, the Solicitor,
ad the lion. J. H. 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

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

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:

Capture of a Live Gorilla.—Adventur
of a Pyrenes Hunter.
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

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
