Kir. from art Occasional Ciirf -'pomifni. Near Caiu.ihi.b, Cumberland county, Tu., Au. (!. This Valley of the Cumberland may well be named "The Beautiful." Nature seems to have been more than profuse in the bestowal f her richest and choicest RiftH. Reposing be tween the South Mountain and the Who Ridge en the north, it stretches its green glories wcRt ward from the bright waters of the Sus'iueliaunii, ever memorable in song and legend. Through cut Us length and breadth it is dotted over with towns, villages, and farm-houses. As you look ever the valley you behold luxuriant fields and waving woods, meadows decked with summer lowers, and rippling waters bright as the skies nbovc them; and in all, such u picture is pre sented as the eye of the lover of nature never wearies of beholding. Standing upon the Wue Ridge, looking down upon the green beauties kclow with the great Sabbath-like stillness that rests upon all one feels in his heart that "it is a good thing to be hero" holding sweet communion with nature. As one looks out irom the mountain from its deep foliage aud . solemn stillneFS and gathers into his soul the inimitable beauties of this divine landscape picture, painted in richest and rarest colwrs by nn unerring hand, he loses from out his soul, or the time being nt least, the metallic ring of worhllinesg. lie forgets the glare, the glitter and tinsel, the ttrife, the struggle and the tur moil, that enter so largely into our lives in the unrest of a great city. A baptism of refresh ment, cool as the clews of evening, falls upon nr weary spirits, renewing flagging energies, lifting up our hearts, and preparing its to take p again with cheerfulness the burden of life. Wo gather inspiration from this quiet and eloso communion with nature in her sublime and beautiful forms, and that sold must indeed be dead that would not be softened, elevated aud ennobled liy the surroundings one meets here. Nature is always simple, honest, and pure; and the more we can take in and appropriate to ourselves in our summer jourueyings, the better for our winter's doings in the bus' life we lead iu cities. We ostensibly leave the city in the hot months of the year Lo re-create ourselves; but, alas ! how often we mistake the means for the accomplishment of the desired end ! Brain and heart wearied, how many go to the crowded sea Bide, to fashionable watering-places and "gay summer resorts," where, amidst the whirl and excitement of the giddy multitude, they seek in vain for that balm of rest so much needed and so much longed for! What is required is not the thoughtless multitude, the crowded ball-room, or the gay promenade, but, on the contrary, quiet repose, hango f-om the life we have been living, so that overtasked energies may be renewed and cur weary lives refreshed and invigorated. Aud surely no place can bo so favorable lor this desired recreation as iu the country, in quiet seclusion and close communion with nature. Hero to wander through meadows, fcright with flowers and fragrant with perfume, to sit on shaded, mossy banks, aud listlessly to Watch the laughing waters and hear them siug their unceasing song. And as the bright stream rolls onward, our thoughts go back aud memory picks up the lost threads aud weaves anew the gossamer web of our early lives; dearly prized, almost forgotten incidents spring up to cur glad remembrance; the present, with all its anxieties aud perplexities, fades away. We live iu the ever-cherished past, and revel in the sweet joys of earlier and Letter days. With book in hand we stroll into the deep wooi; the forest trees, with giant arms and luxuriant foliage, encircle us. We are pleased to fancy ourselves lost in the impene trable shades. Our voice comes back to us in decp-sounding echoes, and the air is full of the liarmouies of humming bees and song of birds. Into the very profoundest depths of our being these voices of animate and inanimate nature eink, leaving their refreshing and cuuobliug im pression. From these green meadows, these bright meandering streams aud deep-souudiug woods, no one can depart without bearing with him the richest aud most profitable fruits of his summer's pilgrimage. No State in the Union, perhaps, presents such a variety of inducements to invito travel and sojourn as Pennsylvania. With a prodigal liand nature has crowned her with peculiar advantages and richest blessings. Broad and lieautiful rivers break through her mountain gorges and fertilise her luxuriant valleys. The purest fountains of crystal waters burst from Lcr hill-sides, her mountains aud hill-tops arc covered with piue and hemlock, and in her "Valleys the hickory and oak stand side by side, lifting their mighty trunks heaveuward. In its primeval condition, before the baud of 111:111 was laid upon its native beauties, before the sound cf axe was heard in its forests, the low of the cattle nlon its streams, or the voice of civiliza tion and progress had awoke and directed kit native powers to new and better purposes, the "Woods of Pcnn" were beautiful and grand beyond description. And yet, clothed as she was with a native beauty unsurpassed, Pennsyl vania as she was is not to be compared with what she is, or what she is to 1e in the future. Before the hand cf the pioneer forests have disappeared, and rich aud fertile harvest fields have takeu their place; tho happy homes of a refined and Christian people have sprung up everywhere within our borders. Towns and cities, that are liut the barometers indicating tho wealth and refinement of a people, have arisen as by magic. From our mountains and hill-sides we reap the rich harvest that the centuries labored to pre pare for our own and coming times a more pre cious jewel iu the crown of our prosperity than if our hills had been filled with "gold and pre ' clous stones" instead of iron and coal. With 11 climate and soil unsurpassed, the husbandman reaps a rich return. Railroads and telegraphs, the great indicators as well as promoters of civilization and progress, are stretching their iron hands all over tho State, gathering and dis tributing its wealth, mid adding, in an untold degree, to the comfort aud happiness of the people. And so long as the intlucnce of church and school-house go hand-in-hand with tho pro gressive spirit of the times; so long as the intel lectual training of the one is permeated and governed by the other; so long as our youth liavo their minds directed and their hearts en vjiobled by the diviuo influence of the former, will tho Litter produce its legitimate and proper 'lilts In an intelligent Christian manhood, upon L'ich tho State can rest with eonfideut assu- A .travel through this great Commonwealth, dencen of the moral, intellectual, and material prosperity of its people; and as I am refreshed and invigorated by its delightful climate, and charmed by tho beauty and grandeur of its fcencry, I arn led to wonder that so many Phila dclphlans turn their backs upon "their own rich possessions," and go wandering over other sec tions of our country in a vain search for that which lies in profusion at "their own doors." In our jounicyings we havo passed th tough the Southern, Eustcrn, Middle, and Western States far beyond the Rocky Mountains; and as a result of our observations, we have no hesita tion in saying that, in climate, variety, and pro ductiveness of soil beauty and grandeur of scenery happiness, comfort, prosperity, and In telligence ol the people in railroad facilities, and in mineral and other material wealth Pennsylvania stands second to 110 other sister State, and would richly repay a closer inspection than many of our people arc disposed to accord her. The luxuriant loveliness of this valley of the Cumberland, that so astonished and confounded the Confederate soldiery a few short years ago, rests undisturbed by Rebel raiders. Nearly the last trace of their devastating work has passed away. The graves of brothers that fell by each other's hands are green with grass and bright with flowers, and pene rests calmly upon all, ns if a past generation instead of our own had been engaged in this fratricidal strife. The farmers, undisturbed in their peaceful labors, have gathered into their huge barns, that among other things distinguish this county, the most abundant harvest that has been produced for many years. heat, rye, barley, and oats nave been safely housed, and the prospect for a splendid yield of corn was never better; indeed, the over sowing abundance of the harvest has closed even the mouths of coiitliiiitioual grumblers, who, with anxious faces, are looking about in vain for some excuse to abuse a generous Providence. The harvest has not onlv been immense, but the 'harvest weather" most propitious, so that it lias all been gathered in perfect condition. The heart of the husbandman therefore rejoices, and the poor can well rejoice with him; for in his plenty they find profit in 1111 abundance of labor, and in being able to procure cheap the necessities of life. Rich and poor of city and country can unite in thanksgiving out the fruitfulness of the year. I find here, as in other sections of our coun try, an earrest desire on the part of the people to elevate and purify the primary springs of political action. Last year a bitter conte-t was waged between a well-known journalist of this county and a political "carpet-bagger" for the Congressional nomination. After a warmly contcstcd struggle, evolving the bitterest per sonal feeling, the prize was carried off by the aforesaid "C. B.," whor-e nomination was de clared by his opponents to have, been effected by a plentiful supply and liberal use of green backs. All this, I should have premised, took place in the ever-peaceful fold of the Democracy, as a Congressional nomination in this district is not of much value to any one in the Republican ranks. After the nomination had been made, several leading members of the "defeated and disgusted" candidate had the county committee submit to the Democratic voters the adoption or rejection of the Crawford county system, so called, claiming that under its workings green backs would not be so effective in their opera tion. The vote polled was very small, but the "system" was pronounced approved, and the party started out with high hopes on this new road to political honors and power. This year is the first that it has come into operation, and although the election of candidates under it, lias not yet taken place, I think all parties concerned are heartily disgusted with the new plan. If the contest for nominations could be narrowed down to two men, the matter would be very simple, and possibly an improvement on the old delegate plan: but unfortunately this is not the case. The "Crawford system" seems to have stimulated the latent ambition of a vast army of patriotic citizens, who are willing, and indeed anxious, to servo their distressed country in the fat offices in the bestowal of the "dear people;" and these candidates, one aud all, have so exalted an opinion of their own merits and popularity as to suppose that, with a direct vote, they will surely be the fortunate recipients of popular favor. For the Legislature there is one man to be named, aud there arc seven or eight candidates for the nomination. For County Treasurer there are from fourteen to twenty as pirants, and so on down the whole list of county olliees. When there are so many "Richmond, in the Held," it is quite confusing, if not confounding, to the voters. It may happen, as you can readily perceive, that by a plurality of votes a candi date may be designated who, if placed in direct contest with any one of those defeated, would bo far in the minority. The candidates complain because it lakes so much time and money to canvass a whole county, when you are compelled to see and talk with every voter. The "dear people" complain, first, because money is still used to corrupt, not delegates, but voters; second, because they have 110 peace, night or dav, from the Importunities of the in numerable candidates, all anxious and all deter mined to secure their votes; and, lastly, because if they do not promise to support every candi date that calls, they give offense; and if they do promise all, as some here do, why then they are likely to disgust all. So, as a result of all their tribulations, there is almost a universal cry for a return to tho "old delegate plan of our fathers." To a "looker-on in Vienna" it is a very amusing, but to those interested It is far otherwi se. 1 earl burnings, bitterness, and all attendant evils are daily manifested. In witnessing the trial of this system, for which so much has been claimed and from which so much has been hoped, I am led to doubt its practical clliclency for the work in tended, and anxiously inquire if there can be found in this "inventive Yankee nation" a mm with ingenuity enough to devise a plan, simple and effective, that will carry with it an antidote for fraud and corruption, and present candi dates worthy of the olliees and the suffrages of the people? If such an one could be found, he would certainly deserve to be crowued with the blessings of the good. This question as to the purification of the sources of political power is one fraught with so much of vital importance to the welfare of the republic that unless some intelligent solution can be arrived at some broad, comprehensive, and effective plan devised for its accomplish ment Hie most hopeful in tho futuro of our country must have hours of gloomy doubt and misgiving. Not alone in our cities, where tho abuse of tho popular will is so flagrant and the corruption and fraud so apparent, but here, and everywhere throughout our own aud other States, good men of both parties are anxiously Ju. quiring what can be done to arrest this great and increasing evil? Is there no agency that the virtuous awl g'joa uu wr!o7 W strili? flown those parricides that are doing al) in their power to make republican institutions a byword and rcproacli ? This very anxiety on the part of Rood citizens this earnest longing for better things that ono sees on every side this willingness on tho part of true men to forget past political differences, and to unite in a common effort to rescue power and place from tho vile and vicious, is tho brightest and most promising sign in the pre sent ('cgenorate condition of affairs, and from it I hope and believe will come forth deliveranco for the people. How long, oh! how long, shall wc have to look for its coming ? There are many things of which I should like to write, but time and space will not permit at present.

That new style of graceful elegance so much in vogue in our cities lsist fall and winter, and which 'gradually transformed woman from a noble, erect figure, first to a kangaroo aud then to a dromedary, and called the 'Urecian liend,' is not the (ireriun bend at all. it never originated in the land of Homer; but it did have ils origin, centuries ago, lor might 1 know to the contrary, in Japan.
