Albany, July 25.
How delightful the sight of the country to one
long wrarifd with the city! .The freoh, balmy,
invlgoratinit afr, the green fields, the shady
woods, the cool waters how gratefully all these
fctrike the tired senses, and restore rest once
more to the physical play of life!
Not much that is nets can be said about the
ride from Philadelphia to New Forks neverthe
less, it struek me that you will hardly anywhere
iind a more beautiful, fertile or highly culti
vated country than that which lies between
Philadelphia and Trenton. The level or, at
most, gently undulating surface reminds one of
the prairies of the West, or as they will be when
equally cultivated. The fine substantial resi
dences, with their ornamental grounds, give
evidence of wealth expended under the eye of
tafte. 1 was gladly surprised to see the crops
looking so well, and apparently so little alFccted
by the late excessive hot weather. Corn has a
dark, rich color, and stands thick and heavy in
the ground; potatoes have nindo a luxuriant
growth, and are now just in bloom. I was re
minded by these latter of what is said in one of
William Cullen Bryant's letters from England,
twenty years ago, that, strange as the remark
would probably sound, he thought a field of
English potatoes, as they appeared in full bloom,
far more beautiiul to the sight th.in any Italian
vineyard he had ever seen. With this remark
1 one of America's beat writers to fall btck
upon, I migLt be justified in expatiating still
more largely upon the beauties of the potato,
but 1 think I will not do so. Suffice tttomiy,
the prospect Is fair lor a ,:ood crop in Jersey.
The wheat is apparently all harvested, Oats
are luet in season, and we passed many fields
where the rakers and binders were busy binding
up the straigl.t, even swaths In bundles. The
crop teems to be of a medium character, judging
from the straw. Fruit does not appeur to be
plenritul. The apple-trees are only partially
loaded, and peaches seem to be scarcer still.
We had a del.ehlful day tor riding, the air
being cool and iresh from the helds, and the
dust completely laid by the late rains.
One ot the beauties ot travel is tho curious
compounds of human nature with which you
are thrown m contact. Directly behind us sac
a very pntertainint; couple, a joung man just
out of his teens, and a lady considerably more
advaiced in lite, but evidently single. As ttiey
talked In a very audible tone of voiee it was lm
possible not to hear what they said. The young
man was telling "his experience," apparently
in love affairs. lie had been sadly jilted at the
early age ot sixteen, an ace at which, as he fre
quently infoimed his companion, young men
are in their most susceptible condition, youth
ful, inexperienced, and "susceptible," he bad
been cruelly deceived. It had, however, been
of some use to him, lor to relieve his mind, he
Jaad since travelled in every State in the Union,
and had visited every town and city ot over
twelve thousand inhabitants. But, on the other
hand, he charged many of his youthful delin
quencies to the account of this early and unre
quited passion. He had never drank any
whisky betore that unfortunate event occurred,
but had done so since; and there were other
things, not specially named, whim he had done,
and which he ascribed to the same cause. Ever
and anon, by way of half apolony, that "sus
ceptible'' age of sixteen was alluded to. The
beat part ot the whole thing was that this
romantic individual, whom one might have
expected to wear a decidedly lJyronic' air and
appearance, was in reality a tat, lisrht-haired,
wniteeyed, lymphatic specimen of humanity,
who would evidently have enioved a pie's snout
and a dish ot boiled cabbage lurmore tuau those
unsubstantial realities thai roaiauce is supposed
to teed upon.
Ajrived in New York, we spent a few hours
with an old newspaper friend, and then took
passage up the liuuson on the steamer Oonnec
tutul lor Albany. It was just 6 o'clock in the
aiternoon as we swung loose from the dock at
the loot of HiiiTisou street, nud turned our
prow northward to stem the current 01 the mot
beautiful . river . In America. The boat was
crowded witn passengers, ikisine.-s men from
the interior, emigrants with their families lor
the West, city people with their wives and little
tines iieeing to the country to escape the h-rcn
July and August heats these made up tue
motley crowd. For miles you pass along the
wharves and shipping ot the great city. F had
not been in New iork belorc iu rive years, aud
it was plainly to be seen how rapidly the city is
growing northward. It is thickly and continu
ously built up alons the Hudson to above
Eignticth street; and utreets are laid out and can
be seen running bask from he river, though no
yet fully opened ud, to somewhere in the neich
borhood of One hundred-and twentieth or One
Hundredand thirtieth street, beyond tuis,
for miles and miles, tbe east bank ol tne Hud
non is studded with beautiful and costly resi
dences, embowered in beautiful trees, and sur
rounded with all the appliances of art and
wealth. As the sun slowly declined towards
the western horizon, its rays fell upon the win
dows ot these horses, causing tuem to flash and
sparkle with the splendor of a thousanl dia
monds. The western ban, of the Hudson is
here wild and precipitous. The want of easy
communication with the city lrom tn.it side, ,s
well as the ru?ged character ot tae locality, has
prevented its being settled up like the eastern.
We hud net got many miles iroin tue city when
a train on the Hudson Kiver Railroad overtook
ns. About the same time a down train came
thundering along bound tor the city. The up
train halted at every little stopping place, and
as they are very numerous, the average speed
of our boat equalled that of the train, and we
kept nearly abreast for about an hour. It then
bettan to gain upon us, and was soon out ot
tight.
As the sun went down the scene was most
delightful, 'f bero was the beautiful river, its
waters locking so cool aud blue, the rugged and
precipitous heights on the west ca-tiiig the-.r
wild and deepening shadows, the beautiful
eastern shore witu its couices, and pa
laets, and crovee, the hundreds ot water
CTatt of all kinds, upon the bosom of
the river itself; steamers crowded with people,
and decked out with, flags, returning irorn some
picnic or other excuiiou; tue great Doats ot the
Albany and Trov lines diiviusc through tue
water at the rate ot fifteen miles an hour;
schooners, sluo, and sailboats ot every variety,
their sads all selliui to a tresti breer.; auirry
little steamt nps pntniii: and oiowinir with great
neets ot canal boars and bathes behind them,
and over all the soft liut of a summer' eve.

the fleecy clouds which were piled up in
the skv, leaving u momentarily In ihe shade,
while some remoter spot in the river lay shining
and bask In e in tbe light.
During the evening I went down upon the
lower deck, and while there saw how it is that
so many ot our terrible aceidonts occur when
there 1 ' nobodv to blame." Passing the door
of the fnrnace room, I caw that tremendous fires
were burninir beneath the boilers. The furnaces
nad been stuffed so full of coal and wood, that
the flames were bursting In great Jets through
the bait-consumed and worn-out door?, while a
constant fhowcr of fpaiks was flying about the
room and all this within a wooden room the
sparks fly inn agalnot the celling and woodwork,
and even the very (lames spurting out within a
lew feet ot the wood.
I remonstrated with the fireman npon the
carelessness exhibited, but got no response,
except that he guessed there wasn't much danger
from tho sparks. A powerful wind was blowing,
and had the boat caught tire It would have swept
it lrom stem to stern in less than five minutes.
I looked about to see It there were any prepara
tions for an accident of that kind, but I faw
none. There were no buckets of water at hand,
aud no life-preservers except in the state rooms.
And yet bad our boat bumpd that night, catchinit
fire from the defiant recklessness of the fireman
and engineers, and half ot our five hundred
passenKcrs lost their lives, tho usual verdict
would doubtless have ben rendered ot "nobody
to blame." The truth is. that nine-tenths of all
our accidents on steamboats and cars occur from
just such gross and tool hardy recklessness a I
saw upon this boat. Alter reiurniun to the upper
ciibin I soon saw why it was that we nad ben
crowdinu the fires so. Tho steamboat tit. John,
of the rival line, had started out at the same
hour with u, but from a dock some half a mile
or more lurther up the river. Consequently she
had maintained about this distance uliead of us
so far during the trip. Our captain had now
evidently determined to overhaul and pass her.
We could soon feel the no .t tremble in every
fibre with the pressure of steam wo were carry
ing. The John saw our purpose ns we drew
up towards her, but her captain had sense
enough not to cngace in so foolish a contest,
and quietly went oh his course, allowing us to
take the lead. Hy four o'clock in the morning
we reached Albany.
The Virtuous Poor How to Aid Them.
To the Editors of The Evening Telegraph:
Gentlemen: At the'close of the fearfully cold
winter of 1851-5, the benevolent citizens of this
great city begon to iuquire for a better mode of
aiding the poor th.in anything that was then in
practice. Amongst others proposed, I submitted
the following, which was kindly published in
the Pennsylvania Inquirer, as a
PLAN OF RELIEF.
" I propose first of all (nhica is the main feature),
that each wma( with the exception of tboso forininir
the inoro distant or rural words) be tunned into
Ward Missionary Sooietics, and cailod by tne names
ol the wards in which they are organized, i his plan
would make say twenty Ward Auxiliary Societies,
each society to be composed ot as muny members as
will luruish two to each rquare or block, lake tor
instance tho Hixth Ward, call it the sixth Ward
Missionary Society Auxiliary, etc. ; this Ward hs
twenty-seven blocks; two persout to each block,
with al'roMdent, will give Any-live members. The
duties ot the members maybe dt lined, partially, as
follows: At the approach ot every winter tho Block
Committee will ca i upon overy luuiiiy .n their block
who may be ab e to contribute ot their means for
the support ot the poor. The fame Committee can,
in a very short time, become acquainted with every
needy tarnily in their respective b ocks; they shall
take cognizance ot, and provide tor all coses of
want, waetuer ot food, clothing, work, medicine, etc
etc., as bereinalter mentioned.

Christopher V. Ilogan, No, 133 Bleeckcr street,
William W. Smith, corner of Eighty-third tieet
and Third avenue, and Mrs. Anne Mahen, Mo.
40 W. Sixteenth street, were arrested yesterday
morning by Sergeant LetlerU and Oilicera Fletn
ming and Crosl, of the Fourth Preciuct Police
Court, upon a warrant Issued by Justice Con
nolly, on Of complatbt of Charlei L. Penman
and Jean Denman, his wife, charging the de
fendants with having conspired together to cheat
and defraud complainants. The circumstances
ot the CHBe, as set lortn in the affidavits, are as
follows:
Tho Ilenmans hold a lease o( premises No. 278J
West street, in which they cany on the business
of a restaurant. For some time prior to tbe 10th
ot July Hogan was in negotiation with them lor
the purchase of such lease and business, with
fixtures, etc., and had tlnally arranged to give
them $t;(Ji)0 lor the property. Accordingly, ou
tbe 10th day of July, all the parties, lluuan,
Smith, Mrs. Malicn, aud the Den mans, attended
together at tbe ollice of John II. Harnett, legal
adviser of the Denmans, where they (the Dun
mans) executed an assicumeut of the lease and a
bill ot sale of tho fixtures to Ann Mabcn, a sister
of Iloean'a, whereupon llogau and Smith Lauded
to Harnett as part payment ofthe six thousand
dollars agreed upon three cerfulcates ot deposit
ol the North River Hank, lloboken, for the sum
total of live thousand five hundred dollars, said
certificates being sicrnert by W. A. Perkins,
cashier, and indorsed by Charles Newman.
This paper Harnett refused to accept, on the
ground that he had no knowledge of the
bank. To this it is alleged that ilogan aud
Smith replied that the certificates were per
fectly good, and tbat the bank was solveut, und
that Charles Newman, the payee, was the
lather indaw ot Smith, a man of immense
wealth and a large stockholder in tbe bank.
Upon tl.is explanation Denman caused the
papers to be plat ed in the bands of Ilonan, to
be by him held until ten o'clock the following
morning, when they were to be delivered to Mrs.
Mahen if Denman tound upon inquiry that the
certificates were valid, aud the representa
tions of Smith aud Ilogan true. Taking the
certificates tor the purpose ot hi inquiry, Den
man went to lloboken that afternoon and ascer
tained tbat the bank was, as he expressed it, "a
worthless and fraudulent institution;" that at
the time these ccrtiticates were dated, W. A.
Perkins was not cashier of the bank; that Charles
Mewm-tn was a man ot no means, bad never de
posited a dollar in the bank, and was not tbe
father-in-law of Smith. Iteturninz on the next
moraine to demand the asitmiueuis and bill of
sale they were relusctl him, ..and, as he subse
quently ascertained, had been in the meantime
recorded antl delivered. Applying to Mrs,
Mahen for their return, he wusreierred to Hogan
as her ngeut.
THE DEFENSE.
Newman avers that the certificates came to
him in the wav ot trade in exchange for some
oil stock, and that he sold tbem to Ilogan for
h t ty cents on the dotlar, witnout tcuaranteeing
their redemption, Hoiran having trst made
inquiry In regard to the bank and ascertained
tnat it wa9 "shaky." Newman lurther alleges
that Ilogan well knew when be purchased the
certificates from htm and obtained his endorse
ment that they were uot founded on a cash
value. No transfer of property has yet taken
place under these apsignments, the Denmans
being still in possession, protected by the in
iumtion issued by the Supreme Court, re
straining the other parties from Interfering
with them pending the decision of a suit
brought to compel them to redeliver the papers.
the parties cnareed witn conspiracy were
brought before Justice Connolly yesterday after
noon. Counsel for the delense moved, first, to
dismiss on the grouud of insufficiency in the
affidavits, and ugaiu for a stay of proceedings
until the conclusion ot the suit now pending in
the Supreme Court shall have decided before a
jury the question of criminality. They deny all
the allegations made. The first motion was not
urged; the second was denied by Justice Con
nolly, on the ground that be bad no authority
to make such an order. Hotran and Smith were
hold each in three thousand dollars, and Mrs.
Mahen in five hundred. V. Y. Herald. 2Wu
There are about thirty millions of people in
this country ; how many of these are men who
expect to be addressed as Honorable? Perhaps
only two, that is, about one-third of the mule
population. Belore you pronounce this esti
mate extravagant, thiuk a moment who do
expect this very questionable compliment. All
members of Cougrebs and ol State Legislatures;
all judges, justices ot the peace, police justices,
and thenlls; all mayors, aldermen, and council
men; all beads ot departments, and their chief
assistants in National and State Governments;
nud not ouly these, but also all those who have
at any time held these positions. The aggregate
ot these persons is enormous, and includes no
small pronoition ot tne mature men ot tne coun
try, even if it does not take in a full third of
thorn. The variety of the men to whom this
title Is aoplied is no less remarkable than the
number. It extends irom Chief Justice Chase
to Councilman Terence O'Toolc, who got into
the New York Councils by keeping a porter-house
in tbe Sixth Ward. As of course the number ot
those who are of the Hon. Mr. O'Toole's grade,
or near it, is very much gieater than tbat who
approach Mr. Chase's, the question arises, Is
it a comuiimeni. or tne reverse, to De aaaressen
as lion. Mr. blank r The answer, it wouia
seem, is not far to seek. If the prefix in
question were confined to members of Congress
and judges of courts of record, it would be an
honoraDle distinction, and to a certain extent a
uselul one: but now it tells nothing about the
person to whom it is applied, except that the
chences are about seven to ten that he is in com
pany intu which men ot character aud culture
would much prefer not to go. But what shall
we tay about Esquire? An esquire may be de
fined as every man who is not Hon. or D. D.
The question thereupon presents itself to the
practical mind, since fthe title Esq.. makes no
distinction whatever (lor hodmen and boot
blacks use it when addressing each other), Is
not tbe time, ink, and puper devoted to it abso
lutely lost? is uot the man wno addresses jonn
Smith, who happens to bo neither au Honorable
nor a Doctor ol Divinity (tor mere are sucn
men), doing a loolish thing when no writes Jjhu
Smith, Esq. ? There is elegance as wen as good
sense in tne simple st le oi address useu oy tne
Fiiends: and it we add Mr. or, be'ter. Master,
as it was orklnally to distincrtiish the mature
man from the lad. we have done about as much
as we can do consistently with good taste or
reason.
