Faopu's Pacino Railroad Company.— We
have received an advertisement and circular
from the above company, making na 'A very fair
to do a little for the furtherance of an ob
)oct so much to .be desired as a railroad to the
pacific, bat for the reason that we are notsatis
fledwith the information received and the reli
ability of-the persons whose names are given as
officers of the Company, we hove not published
the jadvertisement We would not care much
if, ip the event of our publishing it, they would
play us. a " Yankee trick,” but we do not want
to.be the instruments through which any of our
readers should be deceived and swindled. When
we Are satisfied of the honesty of the intentions
of {hose who are managers of this affair and
theirnbili ty to push it along, we will gladly give
theqpaH tile-help we can.
lUiuioad War.— The Chicago Democrat says
that the between the several rail
road and steamboat lines connecting that city
with St Paul, Minnesota, has again culminated
in sin open war. Bates of fare have been put
.down to the figure of five dollars and a half for
first class passage from Chicago to St Paul, to
Chieagoi the passenger can make his own terms,
■being taken for three dollars, or for nothing, as
he The steamers charge nothing from
StrjPanl to or to the other railroad
termini on-the river. A man could now travel
cheap between these points, if be was willing to
ran the risk of being Mown ap on a steamboat,
- or fading at the foot of an- embankment with
J tiro or three railroad cars on top-of him.
The Lost Boy Found.—The son of Mr. David
i
Buchanan, of Newport, Ferry county. Pa., who
h.ad been enticed from bis home a few weeks
sinoe, by a straggling Yankee,' was found in
Clearfield county by bis father. The vagabond
who bad taken the boy, bad been giving some
theatrical performances in that county, assisted
by the boy, and finally succeeded in picking a
man’s pocket, and then left for parts unknown,
and also Reaving the boy behind. Mr. Buchan*
oni having ascertained by a boatman the direc
tion they bad taken, went in pursuit of them,
and finally found the boy as above, and brought
.him. home, perhaps a better and wiser boy.
1 Speaker or the House.— We learn from the
Hajrrisburg Telegraph that Col. J. J. Patterson,
member elect from Juniata county, will be a
candidate for Speaker of the House. We have
the Col. long and intimately, and are
satisfied that he has the ability to make a good
presiding officer, combining experience with
quick perceptive faculties, inflexible resolutions
-an| presence of mind amid difficulties. We wish
the Gat success, believing that on the score of
services to party, as well as qualifications for
the office, he deserves it.

a proclamation appointing Thursday, November

LETTER FROM IRELAND.
Obrrapendenct of the Altoona Tribune.
G {amt's Causeway, County AntWIW, 1
Septembei 15, 1860. y
Hmsu. Editoks In' my letter' of tbe 12th
I said I would in my next give a description of
the Giants Causeway, DunlneeCasflc, Garrick- 1
a-Reed, Ac. I did not think of Writing until
next week, - but sinee I wtert to Liverpool to
morrow,'l thought it prudent to Write my letter
to-day, finish it to-night, and hare it ready to
send from Liverpool by a friend whogoes by the
Steam Ship, City of Glasgow. So this will ac
count for my writing 1 two letters in’ so short a
time. I spent one day at the Causeway, one at
Dnnlnee Castle, and the third I went to see Gar
rick-a-Beed, Bally Castle and other places of
interest. Well, the Causeway is situated at the
northern part of Ireland, 2 miles from Bush
mills. I got into a ear, paid a sixpence, and was
landed at the front door of the Causeway Hotel
—which i> nothing more nor leas than a public
robbery, i was and ordered dinner.
All hotels are kept upon the European method,
t. e. yon must order what you want to eat, add
yon get nothing else but what yonbate ordered.
Well, when-it came, I cat what was before me
, and could get no more; and they charged for
seven, at least the bill looked so. I would cau
tion all who visit the Causeway to get a lunch
at Mrs. Reids, in Bushmills, take it with them,
and never set your foot inside of the Causeway
Hotel; if yon do, they will charge you for every
step yon take, and also for the time tbe waiter
consumes in counting them. After I secured
what was set down as a dinner, I, in company
with my guide, Mr. Alexander Laverty, who is
employed by Loyd Antrim at a stated salary,
proceeded to view the Causeway ; and here I
would say, guides art plenty, but if any of 'the
Altoonaians wish to go to see this great curiosi
ty, secure tbe services of the guide above named,
and yon will see all and receive a more minute
description of all, while othera will burry you
over, in order to make the more money dating
the day. We first take the circuit in a boat,
and have the various objects pointed out by the
guide, ahd afjterward to visit them by land.—
Not until 1698 was public attention called tp the
Giant’s Causeway, since which time the district
has been visited by thousands of tourists, among
whom were some of the leading scientific men
of tbe world. To form a conception of the ap
pearance of this extraordinary work of nature,
we must suppose a wild rock shore, with here a
shoal, and there a beating cliff, alternating with
deposit of debris. But the majority of our
rocks in cliffs are deposited in layers one above
another, whereas these are composed of perpen
dicular columns, some five, some six sided, and
though seperate, fitting so closely together os to
exclude even in some places a sheet of paper.—
The exposed end of these columns form the
Causeway, their entire length in other places
forming ribbed or fluted crags. Nor are the
pillars themselves continuous, but composed of
several pieces fitted together by convex aud con
cave surfaces. I was told there is but one tri
angular pillar throughput the whole extent of
the three Causeway’s. It stands near tbe east
side of the Grand Causeway. There are but
three pillars of nine sides'} one of them is situa
ted in tbe Honey Coub, and the others not for
from the triangular pillars just noticed. The
total number of four and eight aides bear bat a
small proportion to tbe entire moss of pillars,
it may be safely computed that ninety
nine out of one hundred have either five, six or
seven sides. These columns, I am told, are
composed chemically of-about one-half flinty
earth, one-quarter iron, and one-quarter clay
and lime. They ore platonic in their origin, that
is, formed by a perfect fusion of the ingredients
into one mass, which in cooling has cracked or
crystalized into regular forms, as starch will in
drying. We walk over the heads of some forty
thousand columns, (for this number has been
counted by some carious and leisurely persons,)
mil beautifully out and polished, formed of such
neat pieces so exactly fitted to each other, and
so cleverly supported, that we might fancy we
bad before us the work of ingenious human ar
tificers, and yet, what we behold is tbe result of
the immutable laws of nature, acting without
any apparent object, and by a process which
must remain a mystery forever to our under
standing. We got into the boat in Cow Bay and
sailed out into the angry ocean. The first we
we come to is Fortcoon Cave, about a half a mile
west of the Causeway. *lt can be visited either
by land or water. Like most other caves, it has
no striking peculiarity, and is merely interest
ing as a cave. The echo produced by <h, musical
instrument is said to be delicious, while that of
a loaded gun nr small cannon is tremendous,—
The story goes that this cave was inhabited by
a hermit giant, who, having taken a solemn oath
never to touch food brought to him by human
hands, was fed by seals, who carried him pro
visions in their mouths. Dankerry Gave is one
which can only be entered by water. The en
trance is tolerably regular, and these caves all
somewhat'resemble a gothic arch. This cave
is situated to • the west of Fortcoon. Ferhaps
tbe most peculiar circumstance connected with
this cave, is the rising of the water within in
response to. the swell of the ocean, which upon
this coast is at all times heavy, end as each suc
cessive wave rolls into the cave, the surface
rises so slowly andmwfally that a nervous per
son would be apprehensive of a ceaseless in
crease in the elevation of the waters until they
reached the summit of the cave,. Of this, how
ever,' there need not be the most distant appre
hension, the roof being 60 feet above the high
water mark. There is still another cave, which
cannot be entered at all, on account of the sunk
en rooks, hence we dan only say we saw it. It is
a resort for wild pigeons and other birds, both
of sea and land, that go into this cave to build
,nests and hatch out their young.
Passing the .beautiful little bay .of Fortnabaw,
we graddally gain sight of the Steucans, two
peculiar hills 'which divide the bays Fortnabaw
and Port A # - little way further we
came to the Giant's Well, a little hole in the
basaltic flooring whieh re filled with clear fresh
water! The legend which tells of the giant or gi
ants who lived in this'wild retreat have of ne
cessity famished every means of subsistence
and aurnsement for the portly inhabitants; snob
dtmineys. a baU eßay, and even
ft pulpit, aad in the face of so much of the
deep U vauld be bard to refuse them a draught
of poire odd water, and we accordingly find this
little (pool dabbed the giants well. Hero yon
will lie met by a Tory old naan, who trill offer
you rj mtp’of water from this wall, end if yon
wish ihe will also offer a of what is fcnown
« Bushmills whiskey, said to be tl» best in the
World, inltbls he will give yon for *9>«ee **-
into : the Little, the Middle, end
the <|nnd: Causeways. It would be impossible
to giW ; anything like a correct idea of the Cause*
way pd its accompaning wonders by descrip
' tion, :so that the reader might see it as I did-;
| nay.jit appears to me that while writing I am !
detracting from its grandeur by offering to pic
ture It before the reader. I was lost in admira
tion. | The legend of the Causeway is:—A cer
tain. by name Fin M’Coul, was the Cham
pion Of Ireland, and fdlt very much aggrieved
at the insolent boasting of a certain Caledonian
giant, who offered to beat all that came before
him, and even dared to tell Fin that, if it weren’t
for the wetting of himself, he would swim over
and give him a drubbing. Fin at last applied
to the King, who, perhaps, not daring to question
the doing? of such a weighty man, gave him
leave to construct a Causeway right across to
Scotland in which the Scot walked over and
fought the Irishman. Fin turned out victor,
and with pi amount of generosity quite becom
ing ills Hibernian descent, kindly allowed his
former rival to marry and settle in Ireland,
which the Scot was loath to do, seeing that at
that time living in Scotland was none of the
best,; and every body knew that Ireland war the
richest country in the world. Since the death
of the giants, the Causeway, being no longer
wanted, has sunk under the sea; only leaving
a portion of itself visible here, a little at the
Island of; Rathlin, and the portals of the grand
gate■in Stafia. The Giants Gateway and Loom,
seen ion turning to leave the Causeway, are com
posed of a series of colums, the perpendicular
length of which arc exposed to view. The Gi
ant Organ is a similar object, but more beauti
ful than either. It forms no part of the Cause
way, but is placed apart in the mountain, and
consists of a number of large pillars, declining
on either side to shorter and shorter ones—like
the strings of a harp, and we might really ima
gine a Giant Organist sitting playing at it, es
pecially as the basaltic pillars, when struck
give forth a metalic ring. The Legend says,
this organ is played every Christmas, and the
Causeway'dances around three times, and the
tune played is “ St. Patrick’s day in the morn
ing." Portnoffer liiy is passed, from which the
Shepherd’s Path leads over the cliff to a coun
try perfectly level and grass grown, presenting
a strange contrast to -the iron-bound coast.—
Next we came to the Giants Amphitheatre.—
The form Is so exact half a circle, that no ar
chitect could have possibly made it more so, and
the cliff slopes at precisely the same angle nil
round to the centre. Round the upper part
runs a row of columns 80 feet high, then conies
a broad rounded projection, like an immense
bench, for the accommodation of the giant
guests of Fin McCoul, then again a row of pil
lars GO feet high, and then again a gigantic
beneh, and so down to the bottom, where the
watorJs by a circle of block boulder
stones, like the limits of the Arena. This is a
scene, nq one con say too much about. It is
said the great Roman Amphitheatre is not to be
compared to this—indeed, I think all any writer
could say about this place must remain far be
hind the-truth. The Giant’s chimney-tops are
three isolated pillars standing on a promontory
—the Ottlest of them is about 45 feet in height.
It Is said that one of the ships belonging to
Spanish Armada was driven into the const by
stress of weather, and in the mist took these
isolated columns, there more numerous, for the
towers of Lunluce, and wasted their powder in
firing at them. Port-na-Spania, the bay at the
west end of which these Sentinels are placed,
was, it is reported, the scene of the loss of ono
or more of the Spanish vessels, and certainly no
coast could be more likely to destroy whatsoever
sailed incautiously upon it. Next we see the
Priest and his flock ; the nursing child, or the
old woman with her nurse—very mnoh like it.
Next we come to a collection of rocks, large and
small-one of them is crowned. This group is
called the King and bis Nobles. But, Messrs.
Editors, my letter is longer now than I usually
write, and I am not half done with a description
of the Causeway. 1 wish to do it justice, yet I
cannot unless I write much more concerning it.
Well, I Will close this letter, promising that in
my next I will finish my description of this great
wonder, and then we will go to Dunluce, the
Skerries; and the White Rocks, and. if possible,
wo will: get to Carnek-a-Reed, &c. We will,
therefore, commence at The Pleaskin in the next
letter. Here comes my friend, Mr. Jones, who
says “ Where is your letter so 1 must close it
and hand over.
Yours, very Respectfully,-
W. R. BOYERS.
Fatal-Railroad Accident. —Some days ago an
accident, resulting in the death of a man named
Mclntosh, occurred near Portage station on the
Pennsylvania Railro.d. Mclntosh, it appears,
to a spring along the Bailroad, and
in tjhe vicinity of the station, for the purpose
of pvocuHng; a drink, and after quenching his
thirst, stepped upon the track with the intention
of returning, but seeing a freight train eastward
coming {towards him, he passed to the other
track without noticing the Express train ap
proaching in an opposite direction, and which
came upbn and crushed him to death almost in
stantly. . Mclntosh was a man of family and in
destitute circumstances.
