Gordon Springs, August 26th, 1849*
Mr. Editor: Here we are in a perfect jam. We ar”
ri ved here last night and found every room occupied, parlor
floor aud all, and it was too late to proceed further. Were
*0 not in a nice fix ? But through the kindness of friends,
Mr. Gordon the proprietor, was influenced to exert himself in
our behalf.
We found the road from Dalton to Lookout Mountain, a
distance of 32 miles, the worst we ever traveled. We had
expected to accomplish the distance iy a day, but it took us a
part of two, however, we had the pleasure of sleeping in a
king's palace, (the former residence of John Ross, the Indian
Chief,) as a compensation. Our host, Mr. McFarland, was
v e rv kind and hospitable, and we shall long remember with
pleasure our brief sojourn with him.
We arrived at the Mountain in time to ascend before the
heat of the day. It is in the form of an acute triangle, and is
aboutono mile wide where the hotel is built; which, by the
by. is kept by Mr. P. C. Rogers, the very man for such a
place. His desire to please is unbounded. He is now en
lar''iu’ his house, and by another year will be prepared to
accommodate about one hundred visitors.
I The distauceto the house is a mile aud a quarter, just a
pleasant walk or ride ; on arriving at the point the most mag
nificent view presents itself for contemplation that this coun
try Htfords, ami in fact I do not see how it cau be surpassed
except by an assention in a baloon, \ou stand 2,200 feet
above the river, which winds its way in the most beautiful man
ner from the north until it strikes the base of the mountain,
which appears to be hardly more than a stones throw, it then
forms a curve of abont a quarter of a mile, and then passes
along in a southerly direction until it is lost to view. The rich
valley of the Tenuesse with its cultivated fields, and the vil
lage of Chattanooga on its banks, all lies spread before you ;
mountains piled upon mountains in the distance, rise in un
surpassed grandeur, and the whole appearing like a mighty
Panorama of an hundred miles, teaching us how small are the
j greatest works of man in comparison to the mighty works of
fiod. If I ever felt small in my life it was when visiting the
Niagara falls, the Catskill mountains, Mount Holyoke, and
last aud best of all Lookout mountain,
1 only regretted that I had not arranged mv plans so as to
spend more time in this delightful place, there are many curi
osities, the examination of which would make a week or two
• seem but as adny to the true lover of nature’s handiwork.

Show you have a Heart. —ln this dull world we
cheat ourselves and one another of innocent pleas
ures by the score, through very careless and
a-pathy. Invited to help in renderingjoyful many
a patient heart, we neglect the little word that
might have done it. The child made merrier bv
your interest in its toy ; the old domestic flattered
by one seeing him look so well; the poor beggar
helped by your blessing than your penny, (though
give the penny too;) the laborer cheered in his
toil by a timely word of praise ; the humble
friend encouraged by your frankness ; equals
made to love you by the expression of your love ;
and superiors gratified by attention and respect,
and looking out to benefit thee kindly—bow many
pleasures here for one hand to gather ; how many
blessings for any heart to give! Instead of these,
what have we rife about the world ? frigid com
pliment—for warmth is vulgar ; reserve of tongue
—for it is folly to be talkative ; composure never
at fault—for feelings are dangerous things ; gravity
—for that looks wise ; coolness—for other men
are cold ; selfishness—for every one is struggling
for his own. This is all false, all bad ; the slavery
chain of custom, riveted by the foolishness of
fashion. Turn the tables on the fools, ye truer
gentry, truer nobility, truer rovality of the heart
and of the mind ; speak freely, love warmly,
laugh cheerfully, explain frankly, exhort zealously,
admire liberally, advise earnestly—be not ashamed
to show your heart.
Pithy sentence by John Adams. —ln a letter to Mr.
Wirt he says: “1 envy none of the well-merited
glories of Virginia, or any of her sages or heroes,
but I am jealous, very jealous, of the honor of
Massachusetts. The resistance to the British sys
tem for subjugating the colonies began in 1760,
and in 1761, in the month of February, when
James Otis electrified the town of Boston, the
province of Massachusetts Bay, and the whole
continent, more than Patrick Henry ever did in
the whole course of his life. If we must have
panegyric and hyperbole, I must say that if Mr.
Henry was Demosthenes, and Mr. R. 11. Lee, Ci
cero, Mr. Otis was Isaiah and Ezekiel united.”—
