Our traveling correspondent gives us the following interesting letter During our recent trip over the Western North Carolina Railroad we had the good fortune to stop at several of the Summer resorts situated upon the line of this road ambngst others, Morgan ton, Old Fort and Hickory, Morgan ton has long been noted for the elegance and genuine hospitality of its citizens. It is delightfully located, lying between the South and Blue Ridge Mountains, in full view of the celebrated Table Rock, ShortolT and other peaks of the latter range. Tossing through the fertile valley of the Ca-taxvba a distance of thirty-three miles, the. trax'eller arrives at Old Fort, situated at the base of the Blue Ridge, and so called from having beena block house during the days of the Indian wars. Though comprising but fexv houses and inhabitant', one is repaid for sojourning here during apportion of the Summer season.

There are many beautiful xvalks along the shaded banks of picturesque mountain streams.and near at hand is beautiful scenery, the celebrated Catawba Falls and other interesting features of nature being only a fexv miles xlistant. Though a considerable distance to the eastward, Hickoi has its attractions. Being situated upon an ele-xated ridge of country and subject to the breezes xvhich sweep the plain from the south mountains, its climate is very pleasant. The former name xvas Hickory Tavern, and truly it xvas most appropriately designated, judging from the tremendous noise of the many jingling bells xvhich greet the ear of the passenger, but having increased so much in size of late years its inhabitants dislike to hear the briginal name, so we will suppress conscientious scruples, and simply call it Hickory. As many as from two to three hundred visitors visit this resort during the summer.

Besides numerous private boarding houses, there are two large size hotels, the Central and Western. These are well-kept houses, and offer inducements to the traveling publics One attraction of the toxvn is its nearness to the Cataxvba White Sulphur Springs, as x-isitors are afforded an opportunity of enjoying a pleasant drive, drinking the water and participating in the mazes of the dance in the delightfully constructed ballroom, which has recently been erected upon the grounds, through the good taste of its proprietor, Dr. Elliott. Leax'ing the rolling hills, toxvering mountains, green fields and bracing atmosphere of the West, for the sand hills, cotton fields and sultry climate of the East, one cannot but realize the contrast, and long again to enjoy the gifts with which nature has faxrored the former section. Raleigh Female Seminary.

We invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of thi school in another column. The cata-lno-nA makes a fine exhibit for the ast school year. Despite ui p-umc, which paralyzed so many enterprises, this school has increased every ses sion, the number of tn boarding pupils during the past ses sion was nity per cent, mme iu that of the Spring session of 1873. The number of music pupils xvas an increase, while the number ot drawing and naintiner Duoils xvas treble that of any previous sessions, which is due to the reputation anu sk.hi oi Hip teacher of this department, who received her art training at the cele brated art and design school, cooper Institute.

It was our good fortune to be one of many participants in the barbecue given by Col. W. F. Askew, in honor of our Congressional standard bearer OapL Joe Davis, at the Falls of the Neuse yettarday.

On our arrival at this beautiful spot the first scene that greeted our, vision was a large and beautiful Joe Davis flag flying from an eighty foot pole, erected by the operatives of the Neuse River Paper Mills. We found assembled in thegroye thataurrounds the office Tof the' a number of gentlemen from the townships of New Light and Barton's Creek. The forenoon was pleasantly spent in a general coralngling of the people and an Interchange of opinion on political topics. It made our heart glad within us to hear and find the people so closely united and aroused to the highest degree of enthusiasm for our Joe DavL will carry both townships by a large majority. At 1 o'clock, the crowd, numbering about 200, Were invited by Col.

Askew to an adjoining grove, immediately on the river bank, where tables, ladened down with a sumptuous and varied repast were spread. We have visited many barbecues, but never saw a better one. The meats were elegantly prepared, and as to cooking, we can truthfully say it c6uld not be excelled. The quantity on hand seemed Inexhaustible, everybody ate and were filled, and the half was not consumed. After dinner, Messrs.

In April. 1873, Scott was about to have an execution levied oni Ponton's property, saying fo Ponton1 that the homestead liad "gone up" as against old debts.

Both Ponton and Scott really believing the statement, Pon ton made a mortgage or his home stead and all his exempted property to Scott and another, to secure pay merit of their claims Subseouentlv.
