tnrned arouod masses of the rock or passed
clusters of dwarf cedar, which grow on
shelving spots of the mountain side, the more
distant dwindling in appearance to dwarfs
ns they neared the summit, over a!l which
the sun shown in full splendor, gave a pic
turesque animation to the scene. The tower
erected on the summit, by Mr. Aaron Cloud,
is not yet completed. It can now be ascend
ed to the height of seventy-five feet, at
which point is a telescope, to assist the
eye. When finished, the spectator can view
the surrounding country from a height
of one hundred and twenty-eight feet from
the base of the tower. The apartments will
be five in number, one above the other, and
an open balcony high above them all. The
saloon is about twenty-six feet square, cat
•pefed, with handsome pier glasses, a divan
around the walls, and a splendid piano. No
expense will be spared to make the visitor
comfortab'e, and to reward him for the l< %
of t,i e ascension. Refreshments can be com
manded at reasonable prices. The breezes
of heaven are playing around you with de
lightful freshness, even while the sun is
pouringdown innoon tide fervor. Once there,
you feel secure alike from the oppression of
summer’s heats, and the every dav cares of
life. Onr feels as it were elevated above the
dominion of man, the drudgeries of the work
ing day world, and breathing an atmosphere
that inspires a kindred elevation of soul into
regions of pure thought and ennobling con
templation. The sun was setting behind
go g’ou* and many coloured clouds, whose
varied tints seemed to colour the balmy at
mosphere floating so sweetly around, and to
throw a roseate line over valley and wood
land, llie waving fields, and peaceful cots
spread far below us.
From “thin most steep fantastic pinnacle.
The fretwork of some earthquake, where the clouds
Pause to repose themselves m passing hy.”
We gazed upon the evidences of civilization
and comfort, spread far and wide around us
from the very spot where hut recently fierce
and roving savage stood undisputed monarch
of a I he surveyed.
The day and the spot were alike sugges
tive of reflections appealing to the pride of
an American, in the achievements of his re
volutionary ancestors, and of gratitude to
heaven for the privilege of enjoying the re
wards of their toils and privations.
The view from the top of Stone Mountain
is exceedingly grand and extensive—more
sothan from Kencsaw, near Marietta, which
is itself well worthy the toil of ascending.
This, however, is always ascended the entire
distance on horseback. From several points
on or near the summit of Stone Mountain,
interesting views are presented, while on the
north, from the road below, the view of the
precipitous side which frowns above you, is
not less impressive.
On a clear day the mountains throughout
the counties of the Cherokee regions of Geor
gia, and in portions of North Carolina can
be seen. Sometimes clouds settle upon the
summit and around the sides, while above
them the sun is shining in full splendour.
Occasionally the spectator on the summit
lias been en tided to see the sun rising in the
oast above a panorama of cloud resting on
tie surrounding valleys, and as its tide of
light and heat poured down upon the fleecy
envelope, its gradual dissipation and the
dawning of objects beneath afforded many
shifting changes of spectacle. It Drought to
mind Longfellow’s description:
The clouds were far beneath rac; —bathed in light,
They gathered midway round the wooded height,,
And, in their fading glory, shone
Like hosts in battle overthrown.
As many a pinnacle, \\ ith shifting glance.
Through the gray mist thrust up iis shattered lance.
Ami rocking on the cliff was left
The dark pine blasted, hare,ami cleft.
The veil of cloud was lifted, and below
Glowed the rich valley, and the river's flow
Was darkened by the forest's shade.
Or glistened in the white cascade;
Where upward, in the mellow blush of day,
The noisy bittern wheeled his spiral way.
We cannot too warmly commend not only
this spot, but the entire mountain region of
Georgia to the attention of our citizens. Tim
blessings of health and vigor offrame, giving
sympathetic elasticity to the mind and feel
ings, are there sure to be realized.
Decatur, nine miles distant, ia a beautiful
village—the most beautiful we think in the
elate. It is on the high and healthy ridge
which crosses Georgia from near West Point
and on which Gainesville is situated. Along
that whole region may be found the finest
and coolest water in Georgia, and a climate
of unsurpassed salubrity.

I had a pleasant interview with General
Gaines soon alter his arrival. 1 found him
alone at his quarters ut LVloromfs, looking
over Ins letters. The veteran lias indeed that
winch in the Scripture is so beautifully called
“a crown of glory’’—the hoary head. I think
he is now about ti 9 years of age. Immedi
ately on ins arrival he reported himself in
person to the Commander-in-Chief, James K.
i’oik, and was courteously received. The
current seems to run in favor of the old sol
*iier. It ;s said the people cheered him on
ins way to his lodgings. The Genera! ob
served pleasantly, that it was rather a new
thing for a military officer to be ordered to
back on the enemy. Indeed, be
tmist confess, he hud for the first lime in his
life been surprised. He is strongly con
scious of having acted under a high sense of
duty, and fully expects to be vindicated be
fore any impartial tribunal that may sit in
judgment upon him. He claims a Court
Martial, and wishes it to be held in the camp
at Matamoros.
Washington, June 29.
There are various opinions as to the result of
the vote on the Bill. Some calculations make
it appear that the Bill will pass the House by
a majority of eighteen—others by ten. "S ery
few a p e of opinion that the Bill will fail. In
tny opinion, it will unquestionably pass the
House. _
What is to prevent its passage in the Sen
ate? There are twenty-five hig Senator*;
but three of those will probably be in favor of
the bill—Mr. Archer, Mr. Jarnagin. and Mr.
Johnson ot La. Mr. Barrow, should lie be
nominated as Brigadier General, will be ab
sent. There are but two democratic Senators
who are opposed to the bill. These are Mr.
Sturgeon and Mr. Cameron. Mr. Niles is
doubtful. Not more than twenty-five votes
i against the bill can be calculated upon; while
j there will probably be thirty-one votes tor it.
j Ihe moat favorable calculation that any op
j ponent of the Bill has made of the Senate
! vote is twenty-seven against the Bill and
I twenty-nine tor it.
'Lite \\ arehouse bill, as it is now brought
forward hy Mr. Dix, is so exceedingly odious
to tiie (riends of the manufacturing interest,
that, if it passes, they will, % is said, let the
i anti bill go through also, believing, as they
do, that the protective inleiesl will be pros
trated by the bill.
The prospect is that the Warehousing bill,
on the principles proposed by Mr. Dix, will
pass,

| The Weather is remarkable, and nn mis
-1 take It is now near three weeks since we
! have had any fair weather properly so called,
I and rain has fallen almost every 24 hours
! during that period. At the South the rains
have been Still more abundant. Prof. McCay,

In this pari of the country, hav is now
ready for the scythe, and English gram will
soon he ready for harvesting; but if this

to save either. However, we may hope that
the kind Providence which has given us such f
a bountiful harvest, will enable us to gather

I is still so backward that nothing less than fine

chose of business yesterday, our outside rates w ere
easily obtained, and therefore refer to them for the

deficiency in the actual quantity of Cotton—that 1
the average weight of the bales of cotton of 1346 I
over those of 1545 is so great that the quantity in I
pounds is within 50,000 cwts. of the imports of j
1845, and hence it is argued that although the nura- j
her of bales for the present crop may be 3 to luO,- j
000 short of die crop of 1644 and 1345, yet the in- (
| crea e of the weight of the bales wf linearly, if not j
j quite make up the deficiency. This statement from j
j asoureeso high as the Liverpool “Board of Trade,” |
i is calculated to produce a very marked effect upon j
j the priee of cotton in Europe, and were it true, ‘
| w ould depress very materially the markets of the !
i world. But the Editor of the Boston “Shipping j
j List” lias detected a palpable and most important
| error in the statement thus made—an error of no
I less than 600,090 cwts of ihe imports of 1845 in the
I I iverpool market, and from this miscalculation the
1 erronecusopinion is founded:
“The import of 1645 reads 1,069,320 cwts., should
i read 1,669.320 cwts.
! “The import of 1816 reads 1,019,733 cwts. which
| is probably correct.
“Now taking the average of all other kinds of
i cotton except American as weighing 100 lbs. per
i bale, we have for 1846 243,318 bales, or 106,265,-
! 856 lbs., or average 437 lbs. per bale of American;
j and in 1815, taking the same ratio fur allother des
criptions, we have of American 431,550 bales, ur
111,583,024 lbs., or average of 257 lbs. per bale.— ;
Now if we add the error in pounds of 600,000 cwts. |
j anil average on the 434,550 bales, it makes 155 lbs. j
I which, added to the average before ot 257 tbs., ;
I (which every one must see at once is erroneous) it .
I makes the average weight of the bales of 1845 412 '
I lbs. showing an increase of weight, in each bale of }
i 25 lbs. or about 6 per cent of 18-i6 over those of !
! 1845.”

| APALACHICOLA, JUNE 30— Cotton.— Onr j
cotton market continues in a very quiet state. We ■
have no transactions to notice doling the week just !
past. The slock on sale is very light— most of that j
which was offered having been withdrawn under '
advances forshipment. Uur rivers are still boata- !
bie, but the crop is pretty much forward and re- |
ceipts here consequently very light.
Since our fast report we have advices from Liv- ;
erpool up to the 4th inst., per steamer Caledonia i
via Boston. The cotton market was firm without ;
chance in prices.
freights. —We have had some little addition to !
our tonnage during the week, and have to notice i
the engagement of one barque, part corgn for Liv- !
crpool, at il-16d. and one barque for New York, at I
1 i - loc.
Our stock on hand, unappropriated, is estimated
; at 8000 bales.
