Horace Greeley returned to Paris on the
•
3d of My, having left his family in Switzer
land: It is said that he is ready to take his
trial, and intimates his intention of giving
very earnest battle. In fact, had it not been
for this circumstance, he would not have re
turned to Paris at all. Although Mr. G. can
not be induced to -attempt the ascent of :Mont
Blanc, yet ho gives a good idea of the: mag
nificent Alpine scenery, in the folloWing.inter
esting letter, which we extract from 2/te Tri-
Lune':
Ctuatoomx, Savoy, June 20, 1855.
Mosv &Atm is not, as many suppose it, a
gigantic pile of rock and ice rising abinitly,l
from an arable' plain, but the highest peak iti
a great system of mountains, covering many I
Thousand square miles of Central Europe, and
elevating its entire surface—a few narrow val
leys exceptedfrom five to fifteen thousand
feet above the level of the sea. I have had
several glimpses of the monarch's reverend I
heads which towers just above the steep Ai
quill?. du Midi, which rises some 4000 feet
from the bed of the Arve under my window,
and of course' rather more 'than 7,000 above
the level of the ocean. Here at Chamounix
the crest of Mout Blanc is still sanie tea miles
distant, and I apprehend that shall never
obtain a nearer: view of it. Mont Blanc is
I inaccessible at this season and till some time
in A tigust--no guide being permitted to. scale
the•intervening precipices and brave the con
stantly -falling avalanches which furrow its
sides, if any adventurer would be found fool
; hardy enough to desire it. A 1 am t , ery well
I content to admire the lonely peak at. it re
spectful distance, though the view from the
lagere of the entire cluster of pinnacles,
forty or fifty in number, of which he. is Chief,
would have been most welcome. As I
must e'en content myself with my yesterday's
I ascent 'to .
The snow is ever falling, falling,•not in win:
ter.cinly, but throughout the year, throughout
the ages, on themountains above the line of
perpetual fro l st. until the ravines and furrows
leading dowri their sides are filled 'with it to a
depth of,many feet, (in some instaned'hun
dreds) so that if all were to be suddenly melt
ed,.the valleys beloW would be deluged and
their population swept away. But thili vast
; body of snow does not melt and never; will;
until the final 'conflagration, if such there is
to he ;• yet the congealeddeposit cannot 'be
augmented forever. Slowly the snow is trans
! formed by its own weight, .and
sional
,breath of gentler air into - ice ;i 'every
hour some slide or avalanche bears driiivn a
mass of it to some less frigid resting place,•
slowly the icy mass, now miles in extent; and
I in
,places filly to a hundred feet deep, is
crowded by the weight of the constantly accn
mulating masses behind it; further and fur

declivities, carrying with' it large roCkslwhicbt

ers, grinding one upon another, and each upon
the vast, immovable mountain-billows across
which they are impelled, mixing pebble; splin
t
;; ter and new-made sand with its• own sub
stance, to which fresh accretions are jadded
each chilly night. In places,. at lower and
!less frigid altitudes are reached, water in its
rliquidlorm begins to percolate through and
hdrip:from Abe icy immensity into the hollows
and crevices beneath; for the mountain gen
I ges and plateaus which form its . bed are ri
:gitily rocky and irregnlar, so that pools grad- .
maly form .- beneath the ice, and are 'slowly
'swelled by the influx of water until more
room is indispensable, and the strong barrier
I above is burst with a noise like thurider.—
I;Other fractures . and - crevices are made; while
crossing iminovable• ridges of rock in the
channel; while, still greater contortions and

,Aidedrbv my guide, I walked half way;
across the Iler de GlaCe, on the faint sugges-!
tionbf a path which leads from .Mlontanrert[
"across it, and over a shoulder of the Aiguillesi
du Dru to the Jardin, a green and grassy pla.
tette in midsummer on the south front of a
'mountain, 9,000 feet above the sea—probably
the highest patch of verdure in the Temper
ate Zone.. They tell die that, some time in
Jul}, the young cattle i:ff Chamounix are; 'oil
leeted and driven up ;to 3lontanvert, thelice I
down to and across thMer de Glace and on
'up to the Jardtn, there, to feed under the care
fif a' solitary shepherd through the ehining I
month. At its close,l another shepherd'' ar•
'rives,with a supply of food for another month,
at the end of which the cattle are dfiven
home, the 'snows by this time, returning to
!claim the Jardin' as their own. • Cif course,
'some labor is required in preparing the. ice
,'sea, for the passage of the cattle either ikay ;
for the ice is so jangled and tilted that, even
with an Alpine staff, a 'stranger traverses it
with difficulty. Its surface at this low point,
'where it feels the mildbr air of Charnounik, it

upper edge, with a crevice that would' admit
your ; body reaching sh6er down further than
you 'can see on one side, and the steeply in
clined face of. the blok on the other. Here
a dozen blocks are tilted up into a dente like

'the other hand a cluttsin of 'nearly equal - site

course there is some movetnent in the glacier,

place to a mere cascade or, mountain torrent.
Byron forcibly Says:
The glacier's cold and antlers mass

and it is calculated that this advance averages
some six feet per day; .though in looking on
if you Would deem theidea of motien as mis .
placed here as in connection with an iron-mine
or Mont Blanc itself.
Viewed from a distance, a glacier seems not
only much nearer than it really im
mense magnitude bidittling the distance—but
it seems any easy matter to step up to either
side and put yciur baud out ; yet this is far
from being' the' case. ',For not only has the
glacier built itself up a high bed or platform
of the rocks, pebbles and gravel it has through
countless ages brought down from the Moun
tains above—a bed whose "thides are at once
steep and treacherous, being as nearly, per
pendicular as their materials will lie—but the
rolling of rocks and Pebbles from the sides,
with the washing of sand and gravel from the
base by the streams which from time to:time
bursts. out, now at this point, then at another,
(aided also by the circumstance that 'each
glacier ex pands during a series of cold sea
is -
sons and coetracted' i by a.succession of,rela
tively hot ones;) has environed 'each' with at
least one beery moraine, or ridge of stones
and pulverized granite, froin rocks weighing
a hundred tuns each down to the finest sand;
and I noted at the foot Of des Bois a bed of
fine clay, manifestly of kindred 'origin. ,Eacli
glacier thus rudely reiembles a moduli for
tress, with its walls of moderate height, its
fosse or moat,and its covering bank or ap
proach' only less high tflian its own walls.' At
the bottom of des Bois there are in places
two or three of these., moraines, one behind
another, the most distant 'often covered with
scanty herbage and eNthu shrubs, proving that
the glacier has at some remote period extend
ed considerably .fiirther than it now does.—
There' is no temerity therefore in planting
your house . (ae is' commonly dlme) just at the
foot of a glacier, which overhangs and seems
to threaten but will never destroy,it r •—nnle'ss
Mont Blanc should be transformed into a vol,

and then one place in any of these Alpine
valleys would be about as safe' alt another.
The .''threatened _dog" may "live longest,"
here as well aeelsewhere, being likely to have
the earliest premonition and clearest appre
ciation of the danger.; „;
I should have 'said ere this that the Mer de
Glace itself ha's its moraine—broad and high,
and,often double or triple--;as well as its sub
jacent glaciers. lam not sure that I could
clearly evolve the law by which movable rocks
imbedded in lee tend to Work gradually from
the center toward the sides, of the lake or
channel, Wherein they lie, but I presume the
fact is iadisputed. These moraines, composed
of more or less broken ankfriturated granite,
.upheaved from inconteivable depths by the
volcanic convulsions df our phient's infancy,
are the more immediate . source of the crys
tals, agates,' cornelians, extensively
wrought and sold here.
I sat for an hour or two one rainy afternoon
on the. crest of the nearest! and most recent
moraine, at the foot of the 'Glacier des Bois,
watching and studving its economy. Twice,
the 'crash of considerable pillars or bastions
of ice, undermined by water and falling out
ward, startled me from reverie; frequently
pebbles and small stones, frorn which the-sup
port had melted away, fell from near the sum
mit of the glacier, rattlipg 'down-its side and
bounding some distance outward from its base;
and there was quite a rock right in front of
my pcisition which was evidently just ready to
tumble, but stubbornly refused to make the
plunge in presence of a stranger. The ice at
the foot of the glacier is only separated by a
single moraine from the belt of hemlocks
which' here confront it ;- but these grow on the
summit and sides of an oldi l moraine---with
what Cisar or Pharaoh cotimporary, who can
tell? .
Most European villages are absurdly built ;
those of Savoy mast absurdly of them ell.
Chaniounik, for example, cOnsists of a single

RECONNOINIANCE

HY ELLWOOD MORRIS, CIV. ENO, lIILY, 1855.
2b - the President and Directors of Antarn
and Port Clinton, and Rot Clinton ! and
Allentown Rail Road Companies: i
GENTLEMEN :—At the' reqtiest of Some mem
bers of your. bodies, I have made :a general '
• reconnoissance of the country -between"' Au
burn in Schuylkill County, and Allentown in
Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, to examine the
facilities that country offers; for dui construc
tion and maintainancn of a line of railway,
connecting the Dauphin and SuSquehanna
Rail Road from Autains, with the LblaighVal
ley Rail Road at Allentown, thirty-eight nodes ,
distant, anitforming The only .unfingshed:link
in a great chain of Rail Roads, Uniting the
City of New York with the commercial! em
pond of the west by a counectedi route, so
nearly upon an air line to the heed waters of
the' Ohio, at the City of Pittsburg, that firture
works can never supersede it. • •
RE6O'&NOISSANCE OF TIIE GEOtrIOLA
• This general 'examination, after reaching
the Schuylkill Gap in the Blue Munutain, (a
fixed point in the route,) comprised a scope
of country about twelve miles wide, extend.
ling from New Tripoli, (Lynn Township,; Le
' high County,) on -the North,, to Mertztown,
(Longswamp Township, Berks Cbuntyi) in
the Valley of the Little Leiden'', upon the
south—and from Hamburg, on the west, to
the Lehigh Valley Rail R&td at Allentown on
the east.
This belt of ground contains I within its
limits every practicable line suitable for the
railway in question, and was traversed by the
writer in every direction that premised; any
favorable result, though the time at his dispo
sal did not admit of giving to this ireconnots
sauce the technical character requisite to
. guide the instrumental surveys which will be
required prior to a definitive location "of the
work; nor was any such detail necessary for
the general objects of this report. •
The project of a Rail - Road; from the
Schuylkill Gap in the. Blue Morintaiii,- oe
from the adjacent town of HambOrg, to the
great southern salient angle made
,'•by the Le
high River at Allentown, and thence by; way
[ of Easton to the City of New York, is not of
[recent date, and several examinatiatas by pro
fessional men—one of them so much as eigh
teen years ago—preceded that Confided to
the writer.' : v -
In 1837, the late Samuel B. Fisher, Esq.,
an eminent engineer and surveyor, of the
Schuylkill Coal Region,-made' a preliminary
survey for a Rail Road from 'Hamburg
lentown, and executed the 'work entrusted to
him with a skill and judgment Which' will
probably be verified in the completion of this
enterprise, by the substantial adeption,qf his
route.
In the summer, of 1853, Richard B. Os
borne, Esq., Civil Engineer, then hngagediri
the construction of - the Dauphin and SuSque
hannaßail Road, at the request of Thpmas
Chambers, Esq., its President, executed
hasty barometrical recoutwissance of the
ground between Port Clinton and 'Allentown,
pursuing the vicinity of the State'road, which
very . direct in its course from Haniburg to
Allentown 'though occupying foe the most
part ground impmcticable for a railway.;
• Mr. Osborne's hasty line,:atteniptingto pen
etrate the slate hills, involved very heavy'e,arth•
works and grades, not admissible in ! this en
terprise. It is to be regretted that. more time
was not at the disposal of this able engineer,
as further examinations would undoubtedly
have induced him to-fall back upon the srith
ern line hereafter deScribed, and this to
strengthen our convictions with the influence - .
of his name. .
Finally, in the autumn. of 1853; Dr. Jesse
Samuels, Civil Engineer, of Allentown,' Pa.,
conducted a Railroad survey fromithat place
to Port Clinton, passing north 'of! Hamburg,
and pursuing generally the route of Mr.
Fish
er, with such modifications in grade and di
rection as the exteed views now taken of
thii . ente : rprise app red to demand. • -
Haring been favored with the Cmnpany of
this gentleman for several days while exani
ining the, country and the route. selected by
him, the writer is able to bear a Willing :than
mony -to-the judgment with which i that route
was
These preliminary examinations made by
others, at different periods, have Ipaterially
abbreviated the labors that would otherwise
have imposed by this reconnoissance, and two
of them, having been actual instriimental ex
amivations, conducted by competeet mei, they
have correctly established the grades. the's um- .
mils, the-alignment and the distances neces
sary to develop, in a general way;the physi
cal peculiarities of the country embraced
within their.scope. - •
Leaving - the Dauphin and -Sesquelianna
Railroad at or near Auburn, our Railway may
either be conducted into' the valley of the Lit
, tle Schuylkill at a point about tweeand a half
miles above Port Clinton, and therice descend
that stream, without logs of distance; it
may pursue the valley of the mail:. Schuylkill
itself to tho same point, either directly or by
way of the valley of Stony Creek. i -
iVithin the distance of five miler; froth Au
burn to Port Clintoa there is therefOre a choice
of two principal routes , both admitting of sey
end modifications, but either of !which will
necessarily be heavy in constrectiOn—tliat by
the Little Schuylkill from natural;difficulties,
and that by the main Schuylkill frbm the pre
occupancy of the valley on both aides of the
river by the Reading Railroad and the Schuyl
kill Navigation. .
-
Nevertheless, both the routes referred to are
entirely practicable with. good alignmeuti and
grades, and the decision between, them May
well be left to 'the instruments of the t engi
neer. • ,
•
At Port Clinton a connect ion ' would 'be
made with the Little Schuylkill 'Railroad, and
from this place through the Gap formed by
the Main Schuylkill in the Blue Ikuntain, (a
distance of about two miles,) the route will
probably pursue- the left bank of the "river,
with a continually ascending grade—though
an alternative line involving two bridges, pre
sents itself, and will require examination with
instruments.
Having paSsed through the Gap in the Blue
Mountain, (an unavoidable point in the route,)) "
we find locking eastward some choke of ground
which will require considerable surveyingare
vious to the final adoption of a final' location
—nevertheless the peculiar conflagration of
'the country will enable the writer. to indicate,
with some certainty, the line which Seetiskthe
best suited for the object proposed.
! There are iteo prominent features .01' the
-topography of-the country, which absOlufely
control the passage eastward of a railwayßrie
of low gradea from the Blue Mountain (lao of
the Schuylkill to the great, Smith bend of the
Lehigh Riier, at Allentown: '•

tain, but little inferior in height, juts out froin
the )lountain

promontory, extending about tourimiles: to the
southward, which bars the way and .preventir
us from rising the south flank of the Moun
tain to sustain a railway grade, in the -direcs
tion of Maiden Creek.
! •
2d. All along the sonthern base of the Blue ;
Mountain, and for eight or ten Miles froni it
to the southward, the geological formation is
slate and sandstone interstratified,
perhaps, forming an elevated terrace, but now
cut by the streams in every direction into ir
regular hills,generally from two to three hun
dred feet high, above the leading sestets, but
occasionally rising much higher as in the
Peaked ,frill and the Pinnacle:llonntaiu.—
These slate hills present a trul . formidable
obstacle to the passage , of a ;away of easy
