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.

The whole of it is—Go to E, J. Purse and subscribe to “ A Friend of the Family.” R. 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.”— Kennedy's Life of Wirt .

If you find yourself continually inventing excu ses for drinking, or avail yourself of every little catch and circumstance among your companions to bring out a “ treat.” 3. If you find the tfesire of strong drink returning daily and at stated hours. 4. If you drink in secret, because you are tin willing your friends or the world should knowhow much you drink. 5. If you are accustomed to drink, when opportunities present, as much as you can bear without public tokens of inebriation. 6. If 3 r ou find yourself always irritated when efforts are made to suppress intemperance, and moved by some instinctive impulse to make opposition. 7.
