Iu a late number of the Philadelphia
Sunday Adas, we find a letter written by
a correspondent who signs himself “Our
Own,” in which he gives a sketch of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, from Pittsburg to
Harrisburg, from which we copy thelat
ter part, commencing at Cresson:
Cresson, a distance of 103 miles from
Pittsburg, is one of the most delightful
places for a country residence I ever saw.
It is named after one of the numerous
family of that name, who haye so long
honored our city. A large, well-built and
commodious hotel is situated here, which
is under -the fostering care of William S.
Campbell, Esq., of the St. Lawrence Ho
tel, Chesnut street, of our city, a sure
guarantee that it is a well ordered and
kept house. The springs here are more
than 3000 feet above tidewater, and, I am
told, their medicinal virtues are highly
recommended by physicians who have
been benefitted. To the general tourist
in search of health and .pleasure I would
specially recommend this situation. While
gazing upon the circuitous and romantic
walks in this vicinity, I could not but envy
those who Lave been fortunate enough to
breathe tire vows of love amid so much
that is lovely and*picturesque.
The great tunnel —this wonder that re
cords the skill of the Hon, J. Edgar
Thomson, and which is the most befitting
monument die could wish to be erected-r
-deserves a passing notice. Its total length
is feet, width 24 and heighth 21$
feetp distance below the summit of the
mountain, 203 feet. It took over two
years to complete it, and is considered one
of the greatest of human achievements.
The scenery hereabouts is beyond descrip-,
lion, and a Burns or Byron would have
weaved sonnets in its praise that Italy and
Switzerland would have coveted, O, that
some of our citizens who seek Europa’s
shores could gaze on this field of loveli
ness. 0, that the pent up denizens pf
our narrow lanes and courts could catch a
glimpse of these magnificent Surroundings,
and breathe one hour in that cool, bracing
and invigorating atmosphere is all the pan
acea I would wish them for the many ills
to which .they are subjected. O, what
lofty feelings are engendered at this pin
nacle, and how insignificant appears man
as we gaze down on the slopes lined with
fir, pine and spruce, streams supplied from
the gurgling springs that gush forth in
innumerable numbers from this fountain-j
head of nature. An Isaac Walton might
stroll for trout, and become immortal, but
as one of his humble follower's, I am con
strained to express the opinion that in all
his experience he never saw such a field
for the practice of his art as that which
lies,in the bosom of out great State.
0, you pleasure-seekers, and tlnrsters
after human enjoyment, as you hurry to
the crowded atmospheres of Saratoga and
Newport, could you. but once experience
the joys surrounding your own mountains
and their waters, you would hastily for- ,
sake the giddy throngs that have made!
these places celebrated, and embark in |
thousands to view more beautiful, health
ful and captivating scenes that lie unno
ticed nearer home.
Altoona, a city born and reared by the
Pennsylvania Railroad, is the great manu-;
factoring centre of its -labors. Here those i
well built, reliable and fast, engines which j
hurry-us". so fast on - our .travels, first see ,
the light. And here it is'that the tele-;

when on another occasion we come
to write of. Altoona, I will be tempted al
most to call it Scottville in the | east, and
Lombaertville in the west, so great is the
affection entertained and manifested to
wards those gentlemen by the residents of
this town.

Some of the situations along its l banks are
the perfection of solitude, and the mind
easily imagines bowers of romance —
whether love-knots arc woven whose
cement is lasting,” I am not prepared to
say; but if I were in that line, ! would
covet just such a locality as that which
embraces the field watered by the fafr
Juniata, whose praises I have beard sung
in “Auld Lang Syne” by contraltos and
sopranos, whose possessors have long since
crumbled into dust.

looks like a nest-egg in the wilderpess,
and never fails to .captivate. .1 :am sorry
to destroy the illusion, butthose who have
penetrated its borders inform me that it
is a dirty, shambling village. Logan, the
celebrated Indian Chief resided here, and
this distinguished orator of the red man
evinced, I think) considerable taste in the
selection. The surrounding scenery here
draws forth all that is poetic and romantic
in the composition of man, abd a stoic
would cxclain, I am led to think, “ Great
are Thy works, oh Lord!”
Patterson is named after Qol. Wm. C.
Patterson, a former President of this Com

muskets. Captain vStokes went to
Louis, and made hii ; way as rapidly as
possible to the Arsenal He found it »ur
rounded by an immense and the
postam gate* all cloeod. Hisntmbst ef
forts to penetrate the crowd wore for a
long time unavailing. The requisition
was shown. Captain Lyon doubted the
possibility of executing it. He said the
Afscnal was surrounded by a tbodsand
spies, and every, movement .Was watched
and reported to' the headquarters of the
Secessionists, who could throw an over
powering force npon them at any moment.
Captain Stokes represented that every
hour’s delay was rendering the capture of
tbb Arsenal more certain, and the arms
mpst be moved to Illinois, now or never.
Major Callender agreed with him, and
tojd him to take them at his own time and
in bis own way. This was on Wednesday
night.
Captain Stokes bad a spy in the camp,
whom ha mot at intervals in a certain
place in the city. On Thursday he re
ceived information that Qov. Jackson had
ordered two thousand armed men down
from Jefferson city, which movement could
only contemplate a seizure of the Arsenal,
by occupying the heights around it, and
planting batteries thereon. Tho job woflld
hq,ve been an easy one. They had already
planted one battery on the St. Louis levee,
aiid another at Powder point, a short dis
tance below the Arsenal. Captain Stokes
immediately telegraphed to Alton to have
the steamer City of Alton drop down \to
the Arsenal Landing about midnight. He
then returned to the Arsenal, and com
menced moving tho boxes of guns,-weigh
ing some three hundred pounds each,’ down
to the lower floor.
About 700 men were employed in tho
work. He then tpok five hundred Keu-'
tacky flint-lock muskets, which had been
sent there to be altered, and sent them
Uf be on a steamer as a blind to
cover his real niovements. The Secession
ists nabbed them 1 at once, and raised a
perfect Bedlam over the capture. A large
portion of the outside crowd left the Arse
nal .when this movement was executed,
and Captain Lyon took the remainder,
Who were lying around as spies, and locked
them up in the guard-house. About’ II
o’clock the steamer city of Alton came
alongside, planks wore shoved out from
the windows to the mailt deck, and, the
boxes slid clown. "When the 10,00.0 were
safely on board, Captain Stokes wept to
Captain Lyon and Major Callender, and
urged them, by the most pressing appeals,
to let him empty the Arsenal/ They'told
him to go ahead and take whatever he
wanted. Accordingly, he took 10,000
more muskets, 500 new rifle carbines,
500 revolvers, 110,000 musket- cartridges,
to say nothing of the cannon 'and a large
quantity of miscellaneous accoutrements,
leaving only 7,Q00 muskets in the Arsenal,

When the whole wet* on board, about 2
o’clock on Faiday morning, the order was
given by the captain of the steamer to past
off. Judge of the consternation of all
bauds when it was found that she would
not move. The arms had been piled’ in
great quantities around the engines,- to
protect them against the battery on the
levee, and the great weight had fastened
the bows of the boat firmly on a rock,
which was tearing a hole through the bot

of less nerve than Capt Stokes would have
gone crazy on the spot. He called the
Arsenal men on board,-and commenced
moving - the boxes to the stem.- Fortu
nately, when apont two hundred boxes
had been shifted, the boat felj away from ,
