A Hasty Trip Through Maryland, Vir ginia, East Tennessee, Georgia, Flor ida and the Carolinas. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company having provided transportation for me, in the shape of one of their numerous Excur sion tickets, to the sunny land of Florida, where Winter and Summer so intermingle and neulralize each other that Old Sol has but a small task in keeping up the tem perature to a comfortable figure when Winter's icy hand is laid upon this fair domain of ours, I thought another such an opportunity might not again occur, and packing my valise I hastened, ere the Sum mer's heat might become so intense as to make the journey uncomfortable, to look in upon those places which I have long de sired to visit. Before leaving home, a number of my friends requested me to give, on my return. the result of my ob servations. To comply with this request, I made rough notes of what I saw and heard, and I here present them to my readers. They are not es full, perhaps, as they might be, but they present objects and opinions just as they were presented to me. If I have, through a want of proper knowledge, done injustice to any person, place or thing, I beg pardon, and only ask an opportunity to make the proper correction. I now take up my note-book : May 16, 1875. Left Huntingdon on the Pacific Express, at 8:55 A. 31., George Young, Esq., one of the Pennsylvania Railroad's cleverest employees, Conductor. Hon. Simon Cameron occupied a seat in the car. The air was raw and biting. The blossoms were just bursting on the apple, peach and other trees. The buds were just beginning to give a green shade to the forests, while some of the earlier varieties of trees had pushed their foliage into half-grown leaves. As we pass through Jack's Narrows, below Lewistown, the trees at the base of the mountain are full of incipient leaves, while at the summit they are barely discernable. At Mifflin, Wm. M. Allison, one of the late editors of the Mifflintown Republican, and now connected with the Custom House, at Philadelphia, entered the car, and gave us his views in regard to the State Ring and the Local Rings of Phila delphia. He claims, as I have heard many others claim in Philadelphia, that Col. McClure was 1( golly elected Mayor, but counted out. He thinks if the State Ring succeeds in nominating a tool f l or State Treasurer that Gov. Hartranft cannot be re-elected. It is astonishing how univer sal this sentiment is among the Republican masses. I hope that the Ring will have discretion enough nut to insist upon such a suicidal policy. Arrived at Harrisburg, at 12:05 P. and was surprised to learn that there was no train for Baltimore until 4:10 P. m.—a dclay.of four hours. This was not encour aging. Took dinner at the old "United States," and whiled away the afternoon, until train time, walking about the city and in the Capitol grounds. Harrisburg, like all inland towns, is dull on Sunday. At two o'clock, however, thousands passed through the streets on their way to Sun day Sehool. There are a number of very handsome church edifices here. Almost millions of dollars have been invested in this kind of property. Sometimes, when I am not in the most reverential mood, I think much more real benevolence could be accomplished by investing this money at six per centum for the benefit of the indigent and unfortunate, and for the dissemination of living truths, but, then, I may be wrong. These huge piles may accomplish more than real charity. If they do, all right • if not, it is none of my business. I believe in a religion of Charity. Harrisburg has many fine resi dences, and it would be ti great gratifica tion to strangers, if persons occupying these magnificent palaces were to post up, in some conspicuous place, the name of' the lucky owner. Who does not want to know the name of the occupant of a fine man sion' And how is he to learn when there is no one to whom he can apply for the necessary information ? But he should not be compelled to seek this information. The owner should put up his name—John Smith—in sufficiently large letters to en able the most short-sighted man to read it. Every man throughout city or country should do this. It would be a great gra tification, and, in many instances, save much valuable time. Every resident owes this much to the public. I write this while sitting upon a rustic scat in the Capitol grounds. The wind is a little too high and sharp for pleasure.— The Capitol buildings of Pennsylvania ail not creditable to a great State like ours ; in fact, they are not equal in design to many ordinary county buildings. Why this is so I can hardly imagine. As a general thing the State and National Gov ernments erect buildings of elaborate de sign and superior architecture, but the State Capitol is an exception that is rath er discreditable than otherwise. It is a perfect piece of patch-work and the patches are not the neatest in the world. At ten minutes past four I took the North ern Central cars. The Conductor or brakeman motioned me into a low, dingy smoking car, but I failed to realize that that car was run especially for me when I took into consideration the fact that Ido not smoke. Why is it that car offi cials will so frequently point travellers to the worst accommodations they have when they have whole cars or nearly so unoccu pied ? The rule ought to be that those who come first should receive the best ac commodations, unless there is some special reason for a suspension of the rule. We "backed out" of Harrisburg uncermon ously, and dashed down the opposite bank of the noble Susquehanna, in full view of the many thrifty villages and hamlets which line the other side. It was a splen did panorama. At last our engineer, after running a race for fifteen minutes, with a train on the opposite side, and leaving it away behind, dashed off to the South, leaving the magnificent sheet of water in the rear. The . air was extremely raw and cold. Soon the appalling whiteness. su perinduced by an extravagant application of whitewash, appeared on either hand.— The farmers of York county make things look very neat and trim about their prem ises. The grain does not present the most encouraging appearance. It looks sickly and thin. The yield will scarcely exceed half a crop from present appearances.— Strange to say down here on the line of Pennsylvania and Maryland the foliage does not appear to be as far advanced as at Huntingdon. The heavy oak forests are just beginning to put forth their living green. The green is just apparent—noth ing more. As we entered Maryland I was enter tained by two travellers, who kept up a constant chatter. The one was a Baltimo rean and the other a merchant from Bour bon Kentucky. The Baltimorean claimed, HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1875. what has long since been conceded, that Baltimore has extremely handsome ladies, but said he : "Yet she contains some of the ugliest I have ever seen." He alleged that great injustice had been done to Bal timore; that the impression had gone abroad that she was not a quiet and order ly city. That her bad repute grew out of the old "Know Nothing" days, but that that spirit of lawlessness had entirely subsided now and that there was no more quiet and orderly city in the Union. He expressed himself proud of her enterprise and go ahead-ativeness. The Kentuckian said his State, too, had been misrepresented. That one-half of the people North almost be lieved them to be cannibals. He alleged that his State was as law-abiding and as orderly as any other State. He stated that good order prevailed universally. He spoke at length upon their whiskey drinking reputation, and denied that they were mere intemperate than the generality of other, communities. Approaching Balti more a considerable number of negroes were visible along the railroad who ap peared to rejoice the hearts of these goad men. One of them remarked—the Balti morean I think—'Ah they know where they were bred and born and they stay.— They don't want them up North." At the Union depot passengers for Washington were requested to change cars. On getting out of the Baltimore car I in quired for the Washington ears and was re quested to step back into the rear car of our train, which was switched off and sent over the Baltimore and Potomac It. It. to Wash ington. Reader, when next you go from Harrisburg to Washington, inquire for the Washington car, at Harrisburg, and you will be taker, through without change. The cars pass through a succession of four tunnels. The second and third are of considerable length. These tunnels leave the city far in the rear and soon the low, flat, loamy soil of "Maryland, My Maryland," presents itself. The streams are flat, the bridges are squatty, the fences are only three and four rails high, the houses, more or less, shabby, and the shrubbery short and indifferent, but as we approach 'Washington the country becomes more undulating. At last the tedious ride is ended and at 9:20 r. m., I take the "bus" for the Tremont House. I hurry off to my room and give orders to arouse me in time to take the 7:15 A. et., train for Lynchburg. After taking a good wash I retired. The bed was not provided with sufficient covering for the temperature, and the room not being supplied with a bell pull, I was in for it. I slept unsoundly for about five hours, but arose, however, con siderably refreshed. Washington, D. C., May 17, 1875. One of the first objects, which met my gaze. upon coming down stairs this morning, was one of the huge Sioux Chiefs in the act of performing his ablusions in the barber shop. He was enough to make a man start with an involuntary "Ugh !" Left the Tremont House at 6:45, A. M., passed down Pennsylvania Afenue and turned off into the grand Depot of the B. & P.— Washington is truly a splendid city. At this season of the year it is truly grand, but I cannot stop to describe it. It would take a week's stay to do it justice and I have only a few minutes. At 7:30 I take the 0. &A. car for Alexandria. "Orange and Alexandria !" Who does not remem ber these names so familiar during the late war ? A few minutes ride brought us to the fine railroad bridge across the Po tomac. A fine view of the Potomac, with a few vessels lying upon its placid breast, is to be had as we approach the bridge.— We cross and strike the "Sacred Soil," of Old Virginia, which. by the way, here is a very poor one. The land is low and marshy and the undergrowth : wall and uninviting. A few minutes brought us to the Alexandria Depot. Here we were detained twenty minutes for break fast. The car is not full but there are evidently a number of very intelligent per sons on board. In fifteen or twenty min utes we were hooked to the train of the W. C. V. M. & G. S. R. It., and away we roll for the historic grounds. The first ten or fifteen miles out the prospect is a dreary and uninviting one. The soil is thin and worn out, the forest trees mere scrubs, nor does this change until we near Manassas Junction. We stop at Burke's, Fairfax, Manassas, names that a few years ago were big with fate. To-day they are less important yet their association will long make them or great interest to the American people. Here two mighty armies, for months, lie facing each other ; here great battles were fought, to say noth ing of the minor little affairs, which, in proportion, were as destructive to human life ; here the nation first realized the magnitude of the task which was involved in the suppression of the rebellion ; here great genius and mediocrity, with great pomp and circumstance, paraded themselves before the country, and here we learned that to succeed slavery must be eradicated.— But I must write of ocher things now.— Manassas Junction is quite a brisk place. It really looks altogether northern. There are plenty of negroes on every hand. A few of the redoubts thrown up in the days when the Republic was in peril are still visible. We cross the Rhappahan neck and hail Culpepper. Ali ! this is a garden spot ! There is no prettier coun try to be seen anywhere, and if the farms were cut up it would be most densely pop ulated. Here the general government has located a National Cemetery which looks very interesting from the railroad. The grain and vegetation generally looks splen didly. Within a few miles of Culpepper I saw the first growing corn of this year. We passed on to Orange. Here we took on a trio of most enthusiastic and ac complished young ladies. They were handsome and witty. They were accom panied by several young gentlemen, and amongst their luggage was a large basket., which was filled te overflowing. This could be readily discerned by the protru ding bumps elevating the covering. The basket was carefully placed on the parallel seat in the front of the car. We heard several witty allusions to eggs. The la dies were exceedingly vivacious and fa cetious. Wit and good nature prevailed. The cars rolled on, and roughly, as cars will. Then, in a moment, there was a "Ker-chuck !" and bottles, cups, saucers, chow-chow, and about a dozen of eggs, went spinning about the floor. Such little creams, such delicate blushes and such vi vacious laughter in turn, it has seldom been our pleasure to witness. The eggs, of course, were only fit for scrambling Many were the witty allusions to this eggs-traordinary performance, which was eggs-treniely awkward for the ladies, but altogether eggs-temporoneous. The trouble with the average Virginian, I think, and I have no doubt this is the case throughout the entire South, is, he has too much land. The more he has the poorer he seems to be. Of course, there are exceptions to this as a rule, but in the main it is correct. I write this at Gardons ville. The country residences, many of which are very fine, and tastefully enclosed, arc generally built on prominent elevations, where they have a commanding view of the entire estate and surrounding terri tory. All traces of the war, save the ab sence of fences, are in a great measure ob literated. Here and there the ruins of a mill or factory arc yet to be seen, however. The conductor just tells me that the fine residences which we passed in that second garden spot, the Rapid Ann region, were built before the war. Charlottesville is another splendid center. There is a mag nificent country surrounding it. Lands cannot be bought here for less than $5O to $75 per acre. Thousands of acres of what I have seen this morning can be bought at from $5 to $l2. If our Penn sylvania farmers desire lands for their sons near home, and which, in a few years, they can make pay them fully as well as lands in Pennsylvania, here they can buy them, ald save the expense of a trip to the Rocky Mountains. Land companies, with good, reliable men at their head, have been or ganized for the purpose of bringing these lands before the public, and thousands of acres have already been sold. Since leaving Charlottesville the country has become extremely hilly, but it is pro nounced a most excellent fruit district.— The Albemarle Pippin here comes to per fection. Other fruits are raised in large gliantities. Grapes are grown extensively and vineyards arc to be seen on every hand. Lands are worth from eight to ten dollars per acre. The labor is principally per formed by negroes. They are well-be haved and well-dressed. This is a holiday in this region. The dust has been simply frightful to clay. Many Northern men hare located along the line of this road already, and if Virginians would agree to cut up their estates, many of which exceed 2,000 and 3,000 acres, many more would locate here. Those that are here spend money freely in adorning their residences and improving their lands. As we approach Lynchburg the foliage is considerably advanced. Oranges appear to grow dearer as we g o South. Twenty five cents only purchased four medium sized ones. Richmond papers of' this morning reached us by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. The last thirty or forty miles, nearing Lynchburg, we pass through some extremely hilly country, and yet the land produces, I am told, excellent wheat. The farming is not as well done here as it is in Pennsylvania. Some fine churches and school buildings are to be seen along the way. For much of the information here imparted I am indebted to the Con ductor. There was a large•crowd at Lynch burg of both whites and blacks, and I en gaged a berth, in a Pullman palace car, to avoid standing. This is really the only comfortable way to travel at present, in view of the terrible dust. The country about Lynchburg is entirely monopolized for the production of tobacco. lam now moving over the Atlantic, Mississippi ,!'c Ohio railroad, and will pass through some extremely rough country. I have been surprised at the pronunciation of the edu cated people. You scarcely hear a parti cle of negro accentuation—rather Yankee than otherwise. For the last two hours we have been passing through Bedford county, and much of the land is of an excellent quality. All the good lauds that I have seen in Virgin ia are red. Much of the timber is pine— half growth as compared with our own full grown timber. On our left the twin peaks of Otter, two blue cones, pointing high up into the heavens, from the Blue Ridge, stand out in bold relief. Mr. King worked these up in an article in . Harper's Monthly sometime ago. They are about seven miles by stage from Liberty. It is astonishing to learn what a large number of persons have been keeping holiday to-day. The colored people are almost universally ob serving it in Southern-Virginia. The A. M. & 0., so far, has a better roadbed than the W. C. V. M. & G. S. R. R. We cross the Blue Ridge and Allegheny to•night.— There is some very fine scenery but I will miss it. South of Bristol, East Tennessee, May 18, 1875. I write while the Pullman is in motion. I awoke this morning as we approached Bristol ...t ten minutes past five, after a most refreshing sleep. I have just completed my toilet and partaken of a littl;. lunch. During the night we rais ed to the height of 2700 feet, as high as the summit of the Alleghenies at Ga. litzin, passed through the Big Tunnel and crossed the Blue Ridge, the Allegheny. and several spurs of the latter. I should have enjoyed this scenery, but night shut it all out. As we approached the base of the Blue Ridge last evening, before dark • ness set in, we passed the Blue Ridge Springs, a very handsome watering place. The country is very abrupt as you approach the mountains, but after passing the Blue Ridge the valley lying between it and the Allegheny is limestone, (the first I have seen since leaving York county. Pennsyl vania,) and extremely fertile. Since leav ing Bristol the country is in a splendid state of cultivation. Fine farms that re mind me of Morrison's Cove. The timber is heavy and just putting forth foliage.— The improvements, however, are not like the improvements we passed yesterday. The houses are principally log and the barns are decidedly primitive. This land is fully as good as Shaver's Creek Valley, I should think. The brakeman informs me that it can be bought at from thirty to forty dollars per acre. Here they are al. ready plowing corn. The climate must be much milder here than it is in Central Pennsylvania. I cannot help admiring the forests—they are truly splendid. The negroes do not appear to be as numerous here as in Virginia, but every now and then we pass a small hut filled with them. The lands are about as much undulating as good lands in Huntingdon county. In fact they look so much like Pennsylvania that if a Pennsylvanian were to wake up here he would'be entirely dumb-founded to hear that lie was in East Tennessee. The grain and Spring crops look splendidly. The brakeman, who, by the way, is not the most intelligent "cuss" in the world, in forms me that farmers do not generally own more than a thousand acres of land. The farming appears to be better down here than in Virginia, but it is very evi dent that they are far behind our people. I have not seen a neat and comfortable residence in an hour's ride. I have just passed a field where they are hoeing corn. This would be a novelty in Pennsylvania, and yet, they say that labor is so cheap here, that it can be done cheaper than our farmers could do it with the plow in the Keystone. The country appears to be remarkably well watered. The region be tween the Blue Ridge and the Alleghe nies is a great grass region. Manufacto ries appear to be very scarce and far be tween. I saw some fine black walnut a few miles back. Everything is built in a measure of logs, which is indicative of the heavy growth of timber. Fruit trees look thrifty, and limestone is very abundant. cropping out frequent!y. l'p to this time I have heard very little of the war. No body cares to talk about it. People on the cars expres4 n' bitterness in their conversations. They appear very kind and hospitable. I notieeil some frost this morning, but not enough to do any injury. I should think. The Women and non, so far, in East Tennessee. ii not prepossess me with their beauty. !'erhaps I have not seen them under favorable circum stances. We are now running over the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad. On Pullman c irs you learn hut little of the changes from one road to another. Tie forests here are remarkably free from underbrush. I hare seen or heard very few, it' any, birds in compari son with what we have in Pennsylvania. I wonder why this magnificent country has not wore of them? Is it owing to want of protcction ? In both Virginia and East Tennessee the streams are protected by leaving the timber stand on the mar gins or banks. This ought to be dime in Pennsylvania. Whether designedly, in every case. I do not know, because I notice a greet many fences protectel iii a like manner. The breakfast plucc. this mornitm , is Itodgersville Junction. It is an old-looking place. The "Austin House" is not equal. in point of accommodations. to the Grand Central or Continental. The passengers generally took a wash in front of the building from tin wash basins supported on very rickety benches. It is a regular old tumble-down place. Here you begin to see the typical Southerner that you occasionally see in Harper from the pencil of Nast. We are just pa , sing through Morristown. It has pretty fair buildings. but they are much scattered. me of the residences have very handsom. surround ings. We are now within 30 nr mil .s of Knoxville. 11:30 A. 31. We have just left Knoxville. It appears to be a smart business place. but in my estimation it does not contain more inhabitants than Huntingden. This is a mistake, however. lam told that it contains about 8,000. The town, like all other towns in this region, ceevere a lerge amount of ground. It has many new and handsome buildings. There appears to be considerable enterprise here. We have just crossed the Sweetwater. Here the roses are in full bloom and the eras to the top of the sticks. The air has been raw and cold all day, but for the last hour or two it has been tnoderatine. We hive been passing through a reasonably geed country ever since we left Krenxville.— There are some very good buildings to be seen—built after the style of the Virgini ans, on an eminence in the middle or a large field and reached by a winding path. Here corn is so large that it can be seen all over the field. The valley of the Sweet water, along which we are now passing. is extremely fertile It is the finest region I have seen since leavine. home. We have just passed a wrecked engine. which was. owing to the weakness of a bridge. made so by high water, precipitated through it. We are just passing a field of wheat, 25 miles north of Cleveland, that is in heads. It is very good. A great part or the field labor here is performed by the colored women. I have seen them plowing, hoe ing and doing other field labor. I have now passed through about 230 miles of East Tennessee, and I think it a paradise in comparison with many of the sterile lauds of Pennsylvania. We have just booked to the Western and Atlantic train at Cleveland, Tenn. Cleveland is rather an aged place. It has some very fine buildings and some grand old forests surrounding it. It is located in the center of a very fertile region. The sun is becoming quite hot. Veeetetion is quite far advanced. The only additional passenger in the Pullman, a 3lrs. Chris tian, with two children. from Lynchburg. has just taken the Chattanooga train on her way to Memphis. Her children have been very troublesome, but she hes endured it good naturedly. The other train has just pulled out and in moment mere we dash off towards Dalton. The whistle sounds—we are off! We have just stopped and the Conductor informs m' that one end of the car is in Georgia and the other in Tennessee ; —so good-bye, Tennessee! I have seated myself in the car again, after a half hour's wait at Dalton. It issome thine. of a railroad station and remarkable for offering a supper for fifty cents. brat it ain't very much of a business place. Most of the buildings are substantially built. but it don't amount to one-third or Hun tingdon. There arc a greet many idle people loafing about. This does not speak well for the place. But then, this is the case in all the Southern cities at this time. For the last ten or fifteen miles we have pulled through some very poor country— Georgia pine lands. They are not remark able for anything. So far Georgia does not compare favorably with Tennessee. I am afraid I will miss much of l'reorgia to night. The foliage is almost as far advan ced here as it will be with us one month later. There arc a great many colored people, and they seem to do pretty near all the labor as far as I can see. The pritni tive ox team is a familiar sight hero. Oxen. mules and negroes are the peculiar insti tutions. Everybody appears kind and well-disposed. Of course the greater port of the day has been consumed in riding through loyal East Tennessee, which I have fallen in love with. East Tennessee has a very small colored population. The train haply are very kind and Like pleasure in keeping you posted. The sleeping cit. conductor, Mr. Johneon, who rues at pre sent from Lynchburg to Atlanta, is a very good fellow and obliging officer. lle says that they do not admit negroes into the Pullman cars, and that Mr. Pullman has refused to issue an order to this effert.— He says that the admission or ncgroes would ruin the reputation of di! car and that it would not be patronized. This seems to me to be the sublimest absurdity. The porter of the car is invariably a black man. he makes up the beds, attends to the wants of' passengers, and, in liter. does eve rything which devolves upon a person at tending upon a car. He talks. gives in formation, takes instructions, in short he occupies the same relation that a white would if employed in the same occupation, and this is perfectly le g itimate—it meets with the approbation of everybody. Now, why in the wide world, could not a color ed passenger be treated as eortlially ? What makes the difference ? If both are clean I cannot see why such a distinction should be made. Is it not the merest pre judice in the world ? What makes the difference between the porter and the pas senger ? It seems to me that it is the merest folly imaginable to make a dis tinction between the laborer ("duty and the laborer on duty. If the porter were not a potter why should he not be treated with thc ,atne e.naliality! it ran only 'ae prejudic.. :In.! prejtvlire not horn coninv.n They none their lo...oa r u l ses j.pw p i serr after rieir late chieftain* The ening “Zitonrw:ili - Ito* jtrit z.ne be.
