Went to the top of Chimney Top moun- tain, and here remained until the morning of the 22d. We are now within three-fourths mile of the North Carolina line, which we shall soon cross, glad to get out of the state of South Carolina. Crossed the first range of the Blue Ridge. The mountains have been covered with snow and ice, and as cold on their tops as in Maine in winte)-. Dec. 23. Yesterday we made 20 miles, and at night encamped at the foot of Hog Back mountain. Dec. 24. This morning fourteen ...of our party started back to South Carolina. Got frightened at the prospect of meeting Indians some thirty miles in advance of us ; also afraid of the sncw and cold we are encountering in these fearful mountains; men say they had rather be shot at their own doors by the rangers and be buried by their families, than die of cold and starvation so far away from home. Do not blame them any, but we have no choice left us ; must press through although the prospect is a very gloomy one.
