PROF. PHILLIPS.
MR. E. II. ANDREWS :
Sir:—A letter of yours in the Patriot
of the 10th instant may cause an erroneous
opinion relativo to my accompanying Prof.
Phillips in South Carolina and Georgia. I
did so without premeditation, thinking more
of the rare opportunity for improvement
by seeing, hearing, feeling, and less of wheth-er
he was tight in taking any person instead
of his son, for he told me he expected his son
(who was in Jersey City or Boston) to over-mines
ho has to report, a disagreeable and
unsatisfactory feeling towards the Professor,
when, if you had delayed to let five or six
months develop the results of his transactions
with our citizens, you could have then ex-pressed
your opinion with more apparent
reason and practical sensibility. If his re-ports
should prove satisfactory to our citizens
(a point I neither affirm nor deny,) 1 am still
and ever was inclined to believe, since he
told mo his reasons for visiting this country,
(for the sake of history, for capitalists and
for personal travel,) that our citizens were
doing wrong in disposing of their mineral
possessions to English capitalists. But their
plea is: "If we do not sell who will work
them? We have no scientific and experien-ced
miners, and our lands will as heretofore
remain unproductive capital." My reply is,
if every person had the same idea of the fu-ture
prospects that await our country as 1
have, they would let it remain "unproductive
capital" for fifty or more years iu preference
to selling to foreign capitalists, for from
was seen in the road. The bellowing of a | that while Sal's "brother" was present, the [ties, and combine into a mat i aiiot.al

stand for such an ill favored piece of human-ity,
especially with evil intentions to ap-proach
too near him ; he therefore retreated
over the wood-pile, as fast as possible. The
shades of night were now falling around the
road, but the wagon was still some distance
from its destination. Then, there might

mining, and everything relative to the phys-ical
earth, are causing a new and visible
phase in the active world. The United
States, acknowledged by all scientific men,
who have traveled over it, to be the richest
subject of interest to the company, some one
had the audacity to bring to trial before the
solemn body, the driver, who had so gallant-ly
put to flight the bull by the way. But
one remark from the accused, was sufficient
to turn all in his favor; he asserted that he

threatened to break the lock in a thousand
pieces. During his belligerant mood tho old
woman was chatting, at one time directing
her conversation to Jim and nt another to
those who were present, telling them that
she would not take twenty dollars for Bull.
This state of affairs continued for some time,
but finally the key was given up, and 15ull
leaped forth from his confinement, wagging
his tail for joy. But when the sweet oder
of fried shad fell upon his olfactory nerves,
all endeavors to get him away were fruitless.
At last being convinced that persuasion
would not do, Jim rosoi ted to harsher meas-ures.
When he gave the canine a blow or

the 10th should have been delayed until No-vember,
for Mr. 1'. said in all sections that
he expected to return by tho last of October
and go farther South (in the vicinity of Now

nor correspond with persons here, whose

would have been sufficiently soon for you to
denounce him. Everything you have said
may prove true, but I should like to know
how, in the providence of God, could a man
come from Europe under the mask of a

public reports on mineral lands, visit litera-ry
institutions, deliver lectures, preach the
Gospel, associate with the most respectable

greatly heightened when the best team (a
ynko ol oxen) that Davidson and its suburbs
could afford, was seen on tho plank. The
excitement was still rising, when a stitb-ticided,
slab-sided and hunij-shouldered junior

would be necessary before entering upon the
adventures of the coming day, and all hands
then yielded to the embraces of Somnus.
Those whose senses had been lulled to
sleep in the early part of tho night by the
roaring shoals, and who had dreamed of
fairy streams during the hours of the sere-nade,
began to rise and prepare for the day,
perhaps, with not quite so much solicitude
as did Gen. Davidson, and his followers on
?morable morning when the battle of
was fought, a few hundred
vards below our camp. Tho hooks were
"then examined, but no fish wore found ; this
tended to cast a gloom over the counten-ances
of those who had not as yet had a
"fry." About this time two youths, no
doubt descendants of the old tories, stalked
up in the crowd and offered to sell a string
of shad, red-(iorse, &c, at an exorbitant price.

the two exprienced drivers just mentioned,

was well filled by a Freshman, who hails
from the turpentine regions of Old Rep, and
who now occupies tho President's chair of

that such an expedition would meet
