TWO WEEKS IN THE WILDERNESS
OF NORTHERN NEW YORK.
Comparatively little is known of
the *region of country designated the
"Wilderness of Northern New York."
A recent tourist describes it .as " a
plateau ranging from fifteen to eigh
teen feet above tide, andis one hun
dred miles in diameter. On the north,
evil met it approaches near the Can=
ada line, and Lake Champlain ; on
the south within fifteen or twenty
miles of the Mohawk river ; on the
west within the same distUnce of the
Black river. It embraces' nearly the

A greet part of the region is trav
ersed by ranges of...hills and moun
tains; some of the hitter being the
loftiest in the State. In this vast
fotest. portions of which hate not
yet been folly explored, deer 'and
other Species of wild animals abound.
The surface is dotted with lakes, to
the numbgr of a thousand or more,
which ari . roong the most' beautiful
in Aincifcp.. In these are found the
salmon, and the speckled cir brook
front, iii great abundance. For
bearing animals, the otter, martin,
mink and muskrat, also abound
there.
It is indeed a wilderness, • almost
the entire tract being in a state of
nature, as it has stood since the del
uge, except the marks left by hunters
and fishermen, in the erection of their
cabins,, and by their foot' paths
around the rapids of 'the streams,
where the current is too strong to be
passed over by row-boats. The in
terior of the wilderness being re:lcl,,
id only by means of row-boats, thro'
the Chains of lakes and the streams
connecting them. ) -
In the brief narrative proposed to
be given here, it is
,not possible = to
furnish a-more Minute description of
,the whole region; as it is designed
only to - give a detailed account of the
route traversed, and-the facts and in
cidents of the trip. The preceding
1 facts are condensed, mainly, from a
work published by Messrs. Hard &
Houghton, entitled " The Opening of
the Adirondacks."
' Having been attracted by the ro
mantic descriptions of the wilderness
region, , and believin"- e' that a trip
thither wouhl not only be conducive
of health, but would afford much
pleasure to such as have a taste for
hunting and fishing, a party of seven
gentlemen,,asSOciated themselves to
gether for the purpose of makinr , a
tour to " The Wilderness of Northern
New York," and all things bein,, , * in
readiness they took their departure,
armed with fishing and hunting ap
paratus, from 'Towanda, on Monday,
the tenth of July, ultimo. The par
ts -were familiarly known among
tiwinsclves for the prniToses of the
trip, as king, Widey, Saw., Alf, Ben
jamin, Cr•ofat and Ike.: .
Our ri,11 . ,e was by rail to Lowville,
Lewis county, New ••Vork, by I:re P.

t on, thence by C;:enango Valley Rail
war 11 71
rand to Utica, thence by Utica and
Black River Railroad to Low Ville,
where we took conveyance by wagons
seventeen miles, traveling an easterly
course; o a station in the wilderness
called No. 4, where a hotel is kept by
Messrs. Fenton Green, reaching
this station on Tuesday evening. the
11th, and finding ample accommoda
tions, where we rested until Wednes
day morning. The only incident
worthy of note occurring on our way
through the. woods from Lowville to
So.A, was the shooting of a monster
porcupine, by Benjamin.
Early on Wednesday morning we
took wagons again for the "Wild
wood Horne," or Stillwater, a place
of accommodation for hunters and
, fishermen, eleven miles farther on in
1 the wilderness, being the last habi:.
tation.on our - route,- and kept by a
'Mr. WardwelL At this . point wo ;
struck the Be" aver river, a* tributary
of the Black river, which debouches
i into. Lake .Ontario near Sackett's
r • Harbor, and which carries the water
! from- a group 'of small lakes,, desig
i nated by a recent tourist as the third
group, which includes the Eight
Lakes, the Reservoir Lakes; etc., a
number of which lay directly on our
route.. Here we met our guides, five
in number, with their boats, in readi
ness to proceed by water to our des
tination, Smith's Lake, one of - the
group above referredlo, lying thirty
live miles distant- iu the - interior of
the wilderness.

We took our departure from this
place at 2P. , Wednesday, July 12,
distributed with our luggage in the
several boats, and with guides as fol
lows,
viz: Guido Danfred Knowlton: ,
boat " Saronae," with King ; guide
Wayne S. Collins, boht " Turin,
with Alf; guide Jamesti Lewis, boat
" Shaw Hill," Benjamin, guide Ar

Widey and Ike ; guide William Rig
by, boat "Lost Pilgrim," with Pro
fut.and
The fiveldats in the Order named,
headed up , the stream following each
other at about equal distimees, were
rowed by our guides at the .rate of
about three miles per • hour. The
scene here presented was Most novel,
and the emotions prodUced upon the
mind were strange indeed, making
one feel as though transported to
dreamland. In the .solitude of an
unbroken forest, with no sound about
ne\save the - splashing of our oars,
and\occ.asionally the shrill note of a
hailik whistle,' one of which was
carried\upon each boat for the pur
pose of hailing each other when ne

external surroundings will long ' be

to one hundred fee in width, in ma

fifteen feet, but 'the' eater portion'
is shallow. • Ten miles\up we came
to a cam - pieglolace called \ the " Bed
Horse," sit. gamed from \a, stream
flowing into.the river there, acid which
is the outlet Of the Bed Horse, chain
of lakes. Hero we camped f 01.,. the'
night in a bark cabin, previoli \ sly
erected by hunters, the' first of the
party arriving before six o'clock, and.
all by seven o'clock, P. at. A bounti
ful supper Was prepared by the
guides, and partaken Ott with a hearty,
relish, as this was our '
At ten o'clock - we all turned in to
rest, except Wiley with guide .4ewis,

who t')ok two boats and went :int

f the graceful animf.ls f‘:ediug
at flii water's edge along the banks
of the river, but by some mishap they
failed to get a shot, but' tho reason of
their failure was no doubt, a lack of
experience in this mode of hunting.
The method of night hunting by
floating for deer, may be described as
follow.s : an' elevated light, usually
called a jack, is-placed in the bow of
the boat, a. lantern with a reflector
being preferable, so arranged as to•
thrOw the light directly in front, and
ahead of the boat ; the guide sits in
the - stem, and with -a paddle almost
noiselessly impels the liOat; while the
hunter takes the bow, se;:t, and awaits
his chance. In this _manner an ex
perienced boatman almost silently
paddles the banter .tip within a very
short distance of the deer, when the
light is thrown fall upon him, and
he raises his head and. pews for a
moment in astonishment at the light.
Now is the time for the hante - r, and
if he he an experienced one he sel
don'i inisses his opportunity.
Early on Thursday morning after
breakfastingon trout ' caught by
i.oftt-t, and Sam on the way up,
most excelicntlyprepared by ,one of
our guides, we again took our boats
in the same order as yesterday, and
proceeded on toward our destination.
We came to the mouth of the
south 14ranch of the . Beaver river,
ten miles up, which drains another
chain of lakes, where a portion of o
party took a path and walked thro'
to the bead of the Little Rapids, by
the river, a distance of fide
from the foot of which the guides are
compelled to ewry. their lioata 'and
the luggage for fora onarter of a mile
around the rapids. Here we partook
of our dinner and left on our way at
two o'clock, P. M.; arriving at the rap
ids of Albany Lake, two miles 'up,
the whole of our party were compell
ed to walk two miles around, while;
the guides pushed the boats with the
luggage through among the • rocks..
Taking our boats again we. soon
came into Albany Lake, which is
nearly five miles in lcngth,a but
_not
more than ono mile in width at any
point. At the bead of Albany Lake,
where we arrived at about six, r. m.,
we came to the rapids of Smith's
Lake, where we had another carry of
one mile. Embarking again at the
head of Smith's -Rapids, we rowed on
three miles to our destination,
Smith's Lake, .where we. iiiriVecl at
about eight o'clock, r. at., and occu
pied for that night, a camp belong
ing to a party of Syracuse gentl
men,•who wet.: on their way up, and
expected to reach there the next day.
The part:. rill safe in, and finding
comfortable quarters, and a fine
spring of th,f purest of cord water;
we gave ; three cheers in honor of the
first party of Pennsylvanians ever
visiting Smith's Lake, ate our sup
per and laid down to rest for 'the
night.
13ping now fairly in the wilderness,
we rest here, and will give our expe
rience. there and the way. we got our,

The 'wonderful advancement that
haS been and is. being made in nearly
all the civilizeel world, is much 'talk-
ed of and written. about. Science
and literature have received their
share of attention, 'but the greatest
improvement of the present age,
which we consider, and rightly too,
far in advance of any time gone•be
fore, has been in arts of various
kinds that are, calculated:it° lig,bten
the burdens of 'mankind, l and make
the world richer, better and happier.
We enjoy the benefit of much that
was achieved during past ages ; but
he value of such achievements is
slight compared to That of many we
ird inventions .originated• by those
who have lived within the past few
years. Wo need not go back Many
generations to find to whom wo are
indebted for luxuries, comforts and
necessaries, which those whose for-
tune it was to live before the time of
railroads, telegraphing, and labor
saving machinery; were compelled to
do without The change that has.
been brought about by discoverers
and" inventors, is greater than we
can easily imagine, and much beyond
what would have been believed pos
sible not many years . ago ; for proof
of this we have only to refer to ac=
counts of the oppoiition and ridicule
*hill every great_ invention has been
subjected to. -
The - use of steam - as a propelling
power is the boast of the genius -of
the resent age, yet‘hot less" than a
quart r of a Century ago it w•as 6:10
by a 11‘ , u'ned man- —Dr. Sirdiner—
that no i , essel could ever ersss the

And - ,the contra's
between jolting from place to place
at the: pace that some poor -tired
beast- can travel, and ding across
a.continent in the shoji space of ten
days, we ,. maf.,-,reg,ard as a fair speci
mew of that existing, between the
privileges we enjoy, and the disad
vantagcs•labored tinder by our fore
fathers.'
But an idea seems to • prevail . , that
in one respect, that of morals, the
wOrld is fast degenerating. I.!;xpres
slims such as `• What is this world
coming to r•' and " What will be
tht , ligiit of next are so often used,
that it seems they must originatv
frbm facts, like all other bid sayings.
We arc apt to accept as truth 'what
we have always' heard, though, it be
really absurd. Hardly can ' the re
port of a crime or any disgraceful act
be circulated 'without being accompa
picd by regrets that such _occur so
much more fregnently than they tied
to„ ;Ind that people are so hardened'
that an account must be startling to
attract an t s attention._}
• Old persons say,.' In my day," or
" when I was young," such instances
were very rare, and one whO would
introduce into society practices that
are now common and harmless,
would have been thought a lunatic
or a very degraded specimen of hu
manity. And so, we,are to suppose
that the state of society at some time
past, was more elevated, refined, and
chaste than we - find, 'and help to
maknit. When that happy period
existed, we cannot tell. There _Are.
Clark . pages in the history of every
time and country. • The crime of
murder had its origin with tha..first
human-family, and has been cominit
fed quite too often during the exist-,
.ence Of every generation of their de
scendants.r We read of hundreds of
lives being taken by the authorities
of many nations and with the appro
val of the masses, - merely for having
thinking minds to search out truth
for themselves, and independence of
character to assert and 'teach their
principles,'instead of accepting creeds
and notions establisilid by others, as
the only criterion f-r thought and
action.
Men who have helped to save the
world from heathenish darkness;
have perished by the hands of filcir
fellow men in tho most; barbarous
ways. We find in the early history
of our ownituairthat many men, wo
men, and even children, were pro : ,
nounced• witches and sentenced to
die, by a - people Who were distin
plebe& for having a high standard '
of morals, and, whose character has
ever been regarded an example of
purity and vera'city, - - Yet now with
many millions of inhabitants and fa- q
cilitiesior carrying news faster than'
, time itself; because we occasionally
bear of the perpetration of a crime•
eirual to that of Cain's;the old story
is repeated, and young people natu
rally come to the conclusion that
they bare a more heartless and 4lan
gerons world to face, than Abeir an
cestors. had..
And•because now, instead of every'
man and every family making a fiet
and common use of intoxicating liq
uors, as was the custom fifty years
ti ,go, there is a class, and a very large
one, who use it to excess, the evil is
eonsidered.u.naneh worse one, and it
is all laid to " this poor old wOrld.".
Wo do not stop to, ask whether ac
cording to the-inhabitauts there is a
greater proportion of drunkards, or
whether the number of convicts in
the jails and pfisons of the present
day compare more or less favorably
vvith those outside, than it did in
that good* old time, when, we are
told, people lived by honest industry,
and were nut disturbed by drunken

property against thieves. Even
"This World is not so bad a world .
• As some would like to snake it,
lint Whether good, or whether bad,
Depends on how we take it!"
It is bid enough at the best, but it
is foolish,to suppose - that every proof
of this fact which' comes to our ears
prove that it is growing wolse. .Thb!
some seem to consider it cominendit
ble and an evidence of Tiety, to la
ment
and grieve over the wickedness '
and wautonness of the world around,
them,, it certainly wrong to Charge
it with becoming:4MT: debased : for.
ages ago, the prophet Jeremiah • de
nounced it in very.streng terms, and
longed totflec into the wilderness,
that".be might be freed froze .connec
tion with so polluted a people. It
becomes us to look on the bright
side r of this, picttiroJoi brooding ovr
the Mark scones can only. produce,
dissatisfaCtion and -unfit us' for -the*
duties for which we are plSeed' here,
and from which there is no elSeape.
Indeed,
,though it' be very Slowly,
Reason, as well as History,' teaches
,that the Condition of society in gen
eral, has been, and still is' i improv.
ing. For, to say nothing of the pto
gross made in christianizing the hear`
then nations, wept that where the
Bible is known and studied, there in
telligence and VAine moat prevail; a
race ihat has .Made such advance
ment ysn other ir*ortant respects, es- .
• pecially in education and theloppor-.
tunities for obtaining it, einniot have
been devising immorality on a, very
extensive scale. It is an acknowledg
ed fact, that a people who are given
to groveling. and vicious practices,
//ever are noted e for intelligence, and
never accomplish anything good or
great, for " T corrupt tree ; cannot
bring forth good fruit." One reason
for,the prevalence of so errmeous
and injurious an *opinion is that our
relations, and circumstances - aro' con
stantly changing, and .chan ye with

Another reason is illustrated by a

Oh Lord, we are hungry. 'The
public crib is afar off, •we have
nothing but. the husks of the swine
to stay the cravings of our stomachs.
Our pockets are empty. We hrive'
not been able to get our hands in the
Government Treasdry for,ten long,
starving years. Tho Republicans are
fat as seals,their pockets are lined with
green-backs, their coats' are of, inai
colors, they eat the fatted calf ad
their cup of pleasure runs over: How
long, ()Lord must these things be:
We are getting very hungry.—We'
know that- we conntenanced Seces
sion, that we encouraged the Rebel
lion, that we gage aid and comfort to,
Traitors, that vre/worled against the
'Emancipation/Proclamation, that We
opposed Now suffrage, that we
fought againgt the reconstr,uction
acts, that we were in favor of repudi
ating the Northern Debt, and a great,
many other-things. But, Oh Lord,
we are getting • terrible huriliry.
Those things are all moonshine now,
provided you will answer our prayer
by arcing us the Govermient offices.
We know that thbso Republicans,
through the justness of their cause,
have heatca us at the .elect'ions, ear
flit; grez..t measures that have'
hr , ugl,t honor and•prospcLity to the
c9nnfry, and won for_ thenelves
grlit and glorious name. - But; these
great measures arelowlairly accom
plished, and the glory and happiness
of the country 'are insured, and we
are willing to accept the "situation,"
and stand by the Constitution as it
now is. Oh Lord, tar/4 that party
who have successfully 'worked and se
cured all this to the people, out of
power, and lei us, we beseech Thee-,
who have -always been the sworn en-.
envies, of that party and n.ll their
measures, in the'past, present, and
expect to b.e in the future, be intrns
od with seeing the present Constitu
tion faithfully executed. For," Oh
Lord, we, are ,about starving. We
knew, Oh Lord, that this may appear
somewhat inconsistent lit it is. frill
as consistent as we have ever been,
and if -.we can't fool the people with
some plausible project of"Departuro,"
to forget our historical cussedness, so
that we can elect the next President,
'and dispense the governmeit patro
nage,.-we shall, have to- starve. Oh
Liird, grant us our - request, .for the

but more particularly,, starving office
seekers. Amen.-Alleyany Journal.

Striking - coincidences and events
marked its beginning. It began at.
Fortress Monroe, . where .the -first
slave.ship passed into an American
river, and 'where the escaping slave
first had the protection of the nation
al authority. The peaceful work be
gan amid the horrors orcivil war,
and'the missionary to the- ex,slaves
had his first meeting with them on
the association's 15th, anniversary.
The first interview - was a' touching
scene. The escaped slavei were pro
tected by the guns of the fort, but.
they 'were in great " destitution. The
missionary- reached the spot Septem
ber 3, 1861. ~ As he was standing on
-the verandah of the hotel after sup
per, he heard singing,and, gnidedby
the sound, 111 - ;, reached a house where
he found weompany of the ex-slaves
holding a meeting. After hearing
their prayers for a time, he made
known his mission.: His astonished
and delighted hearers welcomed him.
as the messenger of . , God, in answer
_ _ .
to their prayers. i
The prO4rty of the people demand=ed relief. An appear in their behalf
went np to the North, and opened
those treasurers of clothing and sup=
.lies whose distribution has made
tcn important branch of the work in
the. Sontb.
'The education of the freedmen
a deeper and more permanent want.
Their craving for knowledge was like
that of the babe for milk—the in—
stinctive necessity - of, the new life.
The grovith of their new life - was un;
paralleled--there was -no citildh9od;
they were, in- rapid succession, slaves,
freemen, voters,'&llcers -in state and
nation! It was felt' that they must
be educated. • The, teacheti and the
fends were sent,and Christian schools
were planted throughout the South
—in-every State,in the pricipal cities,
the smaller towns and on the planta- -
tious—to lie eusaniples, guiding and
inciting to a 'syststa.,r common,
schools. •
The progress of the pupils and the
Junked funds . Of the association coM
pelled a concentration in higher
schools, normal' institutes, colleges
'incipient universities; and in the
chief centres of population in the
Bouth, these institutions aro located,
gathering in, educating and sending
out again.the enterprising youth of
both sexes as teachers, and as men
and women of Christian cultuire and
influence. -

these iustitutions . coul& only be se-j
