It is interesting,from its vicinage, to much picturesquescenery, and to Fort Hill, once the homeof Calhoun. Fort Hill, once the residence of thestatesman John C. Calhoun, is a fewmiles only from the village of Pendle-ton. It is a plain but comfortable build-ing of wood, with piazzas and otherfittings and arrangements, after theusual fashion of southern country Mr. Calhoun lived in his monthsof release from the toils of public life,venerated by the humblest and highestof his neighbors for his noble and gen-tle private virtues and graces, no lessthan he was honored abroad for hisunrivalled genius as a statesman andorator.

It is within excursion distanceof the Keowee River, the Valley of Jo-casses, the Cataract ofithe White Waterand other interesting scenes. The Keowee, a beautiful mountainstream, in Pickens District, S. C, withthe Tugaloo River, forms the road to the Valley of Jocassee liesalong its banks.
