[For The Press.} ! fYVhile we do not concur with our distin guished correspondent in his special views, W 0 spread his communication before our readers.—Ed.] Much has-been said of late relative to tho Value and availability of negro stave labor in certain pursuits and portlous of tho United States, as compared or in' competition with free white labor. It has been said that the former .cannot successfully compete with the latter in tho grain-growing or manufacturing States-j-tbat climate will determine tho locale of tho first, and therefore it cannot succeed or maintain itself in the .latitudes of Kentucky, Virginia* Missouri, Kansas, or north of them. Now all this is truo, only undor a combination of artificial facte. Negro slave labor, at one time, was entirely successful in all tho Northern States, and could easily bo made so again, and to extend over all tho territories, Tho artificial facts to which wo allndo will be found not in any distiuctivo characteristics of the two.races, but in the. legislation of the country, tliat; for fifty years or more, has pro hibited the introduction of negro slaves, and encouraged tbs immigration of free whites. During this period several millions of free white laborers have come into the couutry, and not one negro slave. Thus have the white laborers been pushing tho negroes more and morolothe South, and thus has white labor been kept comparatively cheap and plenty. Ads to this tho increasing and great demand for tho products of tho Southern States—cot ton, sugar, tobacco, and rice—which has been materially augmented by reduced production of these articles through the abolition of negro slavery in portions of tho "West Indies and South America. ThoBo fads have withdrawn, and ns long as they continue will withdraw, slave labor from tho North.to tho South, where these articles are produced, leaving tho northern parts of tiie United States to be worked, by tho,free white laborers. In tills respect climate may and will have somo influence in determining tho hltimato limits of the two races, heenuse whito labor cannot work in tho open fields of the lower Southern parts of the United States, and therefore has its limits. But lot tbeso fads cease to exist, and what would bo the consequences 1 Repeal the laws prohibiting tho slave trade, and those against negro slavery in tho different States—allow tho holding of negro slaves in all the Statos as it was under tho colonial authorities, in tho Northern States as it is in tho Southern States now, and a vory different stato of things would soon exist. ; Half the ships that are now lying idle in Boston and all tho rivers and bays of. Now England would soon ho found on tho coast of Aftica, tailing in cargoes of negro slaves, and not a few “ live Yankees ” be found there “ trading ” lor them, or, por haps,‘« catching them in tho bnsh.” As soon as this fleet of slaves returned to this co,untry tho price pf negroes would fall. In stead of good field hands selling for one thou, sand- or..iifteon hundred dollars each, they would soon sell for two hundred and may be for one .hundred dollars.. Tho South would soon he fully supplied, and cargoes ho imported into the Northern ports of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, and no doubt find ready Sale. Healthy, docile, able-bodied men and women for ono hundred dollars would doubtless find purchasers oven hero. Under this state of facts—which would only bo tho removal of present “restrictions,” and leaving climato alone to settlo tho question— negro slave labor would bo found competing with white free labor’ in most of the Territories and States of the Union. How far, and how successful, would bo determined by the Bupply of negro slaves that could ho obtained, and the number of free whito immigrants that might come in competition with them. Tiio latter would no doubt he considerably dimin ished, as the need of their services and the prico of their labor would be reduced by tho number of negro slaves imported. In this ylew of tho subject wo have only re ferred .to consequences likely to follow tho mero repeal of tho prosunt laws prohibiting tho importation of negro slaves into the United States, and their employment in coi’- tairt States. Should wo aid the free importa tion and use of negro slaves, by adopting what has been tho great design of tho “American” parly,' tho prohibition of tho immigration of white laborers, which would bo effectually dpne by refusing thorn the political privileges they have always onjoyed in this country,' tho spread of negro sluvo labor would be very consi derably increased. Instead of hundreds of thou sands of free white immigrants coming among us each year and no negroes, wo fear we would soon have'hundreds'Of thousands of nogroes coming among us and no whites. Bat as it is not probable the ultra Southern notion of O repealing the laws prohibiting the slave trade,” nor that of the « Americans” disfranchising foreigners shall prevail, nor’that tho Northern Statos will tolerate slavery again! we may not anticipate tho consequences that have been supposed would follow them, PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1857. Thoro are other facts, however, that may exist that will have great influence in fletor. mining the question at issue. Tlio success of the effort now boing mado by Groat Britain and Franco to introduce negrd selui-gluvo laborers into the southern colonies is not tho least of them. Should this prove entirely, successful, it would ultimately liavo almost as,* great an influunco upon tin) relative positiolilj of negro and white labor in this country, as would tho re-opening of tho slave trade as ahovo described. Millions of laborers, under this cocrcivo system, could no doubt he obtained in Africa —enough, to cultivate all the southern colonics owned or governed by European nations,' and porhaps also a greater part of lower Southern America. This could not but seriously affect slave labor in tho United States, by competing with its products in the markets of the world, increas ing their value as well as tho demand ; fOF them. ,'i. . Tf this scheme provo Successful—that lay should its, results bo .what its friends say they, will, to improvo tho negro ruce, und furnish ft’ supply of good laborers for tho white race—’ may it not extend, nftor fully supplying tho southern countries, to the North, and find its Way into tho United States} The Re publican sympathy for tho negroes, and the “American” hatred of foreigners, might, if the Government wore in their hands, carry out their plans by the union of both. Tho ultra- Southerncrs who desiro to ro-open tho slave trado might join them, and adopt tho samo slavc-trado scheme, as tho next best mode, of strengthening the negro interest. Thoro are numbers of other ways by which the relations of slave and free labor may lie affected besides those hero Btatcd. Enough has been suggested, however, to show that climate alono will not likely sottlo tho ques tion in Ibis country, or in the world at large. Wliile labor has been gradually, and, recently, rapidly rising in value in most parts of the ci vilized world, notwithstanding tiro incrediblo labor that is performed by labor-saving ma chinery. Various attempts have been made, 01-9 makiug.aud being proposed, to meet the grow, ing deficiency that has caused, and is causing; this rise by tho introduction of the labor of others than tho white race; from China, India, and Africa. To soino of these we may refer again. Tills questiou—the question of labor— is the great question of tho day and ago, and of absorbing interest to the world as woll as to the United States. SYMAIKS’S HOLE. [Forthe Press.) 'A communication in your paper of yesterday, in' regard to “ Syrames’s Hole,” has this sentenco: “The folly of visionary men often becomes com mon-place,” A0.,A0. I am a visionary man myself, sir, and would like, with your permission, io take tip tho cudgols in behalf of that race porsoentod by their contem poraries, ndored by posterity. If it wore not for visionary men, sir, tho world would stagnate into a material aiy. If I had leisure, I think I oould dfr monstrato that tho more far-seeing a thinkor is in reality, tho more visionary ho is to those with less mental visiod than himself, lie perceives “ —tho far-off mountain tops of distant thought*, Which men of common stature never saw." Copt. Symmcs’s theory doservod attention,* as do all ingontous theories, and I havo no doubt it has dono its fair share of duty as an incentive to modern explorers to tho polar regions, as the read ing of Plato’s Atlantis is said to havo fired, tho mind of Columbus, and tbo belief in tho fountain of Hfo «t-Curt-Or. off in seareh-nf lt_ Jfed Syiuroo*' found“ visionary inen ”to aid him, ho would bay® anticipated modern discoveries. Tho lato Dr. Kano was as “visionary” a roan as I ever had the pleasure of conversing with. Circumstances aided him in putting somo of his visions into prnotice. It is told of Democritus the youngor, another “visionary,” that ho pro nounced tho Milky Way a vast collection of sepa rate stnrs. Tho old fogies of his day pronouncod this blasphemy against Juno, who had spilled her milk on this celestial pathway. Lord Rosso’s telescope Imß demonstrated the truth of tho vision of Democritus, and consigned to that otomal con tempt which Is the punishment of ignorant pre sumption, both tho old fogic3 and their “milky mother.” As to Andrew Jackson Davis, ho is undoubtedly avisionary of tho wildest kind, and needs that sort of correction which Jupltor Inflicted upon Flueton; but his books teach peoplo to soar into regions of thought that need exploration; and ono of the profoundcst othnological inquirers of tho dny ac knowledged to mo that many of Davis's assertions on ethnological points wore confirmed by tho beat scientific authorities of the day. It will not do for tho purely practical thinker to despise us “visionaries.” Wo dream while tho rest ofhuniamty sleep, and can only expect tho realisation of our wondrous dreams in that future to whioh all truo minds arc looking forward. CORRESPONDENCE. FROM SUSttUEIIANNA COUNTY. [From our corresjiomlent “Greybeard,”] Great Benp, Susquehanna C 0.,) September 14,1857. j Having been, as you roinombor, too late for tbo five o’clock train to Now York on Tuesday evening, I was obliged to t&ko what is significantly style! tho “owl lino,’’ which left tho Kensington dopot it ono o’clock on Wednesday morning. Notfeelirg In the best trim to court tho luxury of a eloeplas night, I at oneo, after procuring my tiokotj rusted for “ car B,” (which car, tho conductor had tho jo litencS3 to inform us, meant tbo first ear .we oainc to with a vacant scat,) in hopes of procuring a wbdo goat, in which to obtain, if possible, acomfortalio snoozo. But I had not made tho tour of raoro thin seven-eighths of tbo train, before all my proviws ornithological knowledge respecting tho pem- Har habits of tho nocturnnl bird wo wore to represent was utterly sot at variarco with my experiences; for lo! evory ra«lo “owl” in tho train had appropriated an entiro seat to himself, and with tho utmost dcliberatbn was cuddling np for a railroad excursion to lie “ land of nod”—ovon tholudy “owls” woro nigit capped for a nap. I still my onward course p»r sued; out of ono door—into anothor door; o/es right, oyes left; back—back, and finally, just Vo fore reaching tho jumping-off place, (litorallyJ 1 found nside-soat, in dimensions nbout twelvo incies by two feet six, which lookod, indoed, to bo aty tbing elso than an inviting berth, but thou it lad the singular felicity of being, unoccupied bwljoh was quite a sufficient recommendation undor tho circumstances to'insure for it my noooptamo. Folding’my shawl about my head and Rhrnl* ders, and comprosslng my nether extreni tios into a succession of vory nouto I was silly enough to imagines that tho shado of Morpheus could bo successfully in voked in this ridiculous predicament. The sars of heaven marched far above üb, and tho kon track flow fastbonooth üb, but tho balm of scop shed not its soothing pollin upon ray wakeful <yo ballf*. “ Sloop cumo not to my eyes, nor alunber to my oyolids.” AVhnt a night for moditatun! What an attitude for expansive thought!! lialf past four brought us to Jorsoy City. Our trip across tho Hudson at that hour was really grind and oxbilarnting; tho stars still gloamcd above in their midnight glory, (a magnifioeut array of ion , stellations and planetary orbs there appoarod,too, at this hour of tho morn). That noblo river, now receiving its first agitation for tho day, lookel in its unruffled calmness as if just rousing front its slumbers, and gontly moving upon its humid bed. Five o’clock landod us at tho foot of Conrtlmdt street, and as tho next train ovor thp NowTork and Brio road was announced to loavo at sir, I had just one hour to perform tho operation of ex tricating a luxurious deposit of railroad soil from my face and whiskers, got my brcnkfnst—whieb I did at tho “ Merchants”—and return to tho dipot. At six precisely wo started for Syracuse, ovor tho above-named road, by way of Binghamton. Now for a word or two about this celubratod Now York railroad. Tho reador who has never yot passed ovir It hns a field of romantic discovery still open in this direction, whioh ho should not fail somo diy to ombraco tho opportunity of enjoying. Leaving the depot,at Jorsoy City, wo pass n)rth ward somo twonty miles, whoro wo cross tho Jjrsoy lino into tho Stato of Now York. In roashing this lino, we havo pnssod several broad, Flow running streams, running through iramonso flita— largo, prnirio-liko alluvial deposits. Tho first county of Now York that wo ontor Is ItookUnd— asootion, by tho way, whioh tho observing tourist will admit has not boon inappropriately named. Tho,firstof that boulder formation of rocks, vhich is traced in a southwesterly, direction through nearly tho entire longtli of the United States and tho Canadas, is hero ontered, and nppgarß &t in tervals for,sovoral,miles along the road. Wo soon leave Rookland, however, in our rapid flight across this excellent road, and ontor tho county of Orange, of whioh the town of Goshen 1b the most striking feature. The country surrounding this town is ex tremely fortilo, and taking the Egyptian Goshen of the Scriptdros for' a criterion, we may say that Goshen is as appropriately named for its exhnuM less treasures of butter nnd milk ns Rockland is for |ts rooks; as, who has not hoard of Goshen but ter ? Aye, nnd tasted it too, or at least butter taken from firkins labelled “Goshon”“for it must bo Mime in mind that on the butter question, at loort, thoro i‘t something “in a name,” aud ac cordingly, notwithstanding tho fact that saurooly a pound of butter is now made in this region, ex copfc for homo use, (tho dairies having adopted tho milk business exclusively since tho iailioad baa brought them tho facility, of getting it to market,) yet casks of “ Goshon butter” are multiplying from year to year. . On reaching tho western lino of Orange county wo enter tbo valley of tho Novor cink. boautifuily hemmed in by two lofty ranges of mountains. ■ A very important point on our route is Port Jervis. As v?o approach this stopping, tho waters of our beautiful Delaware mnko tho heart of a Philadelphia!*, who for tho first time obtains a glimpse of theso incipient waters of his own noble yiycr, bound within him. A few uples south ,Qf, this point, a.rook, in .tho jtifer marks tho uniting point of Pennsylvania, ,J?ow York,' and New Jerstiy. Many avail them selves of tho opportunity of making this geographi cal distribution of themselves,'by going down to the rook and spreading themselves oat a rub-fashion in ordor to bo able to say that thoy had boon in throe Stotos at once; though it must bo admitted that a man may ho fn - even a laxger number of Mates than this, in a very short period of time, as, •for oxnraple, tho man who got “tight” on his wed ding, day,, and travelled from Now Haven to Baltimore! A short distance beyond this point wo cross tho Delaware into Pennsylvania, whon wo at onoo en ter a region of tho wildest sublimity, tho rond in places bring for miles absolutely hewn out of the steep side of a solid' mountain of rook. Alpine heights and imihense p -coipiccs alternately flank the train on either sido as it flios along its rock hewn traok with frightful velocity. While ou tho Pennsylvania sido wo atoin Wayno county, und after continuing in whioh for about thirty miles wq rqcross tho Delaware and pursnoits east bank through a'region so primitive In its wildness, and so unfit for cultivation, that human habitations are scnrooly to bo seen, and when they appear are generally but tho merest shanties. A passage of noarly a hundred miles along tho two banksof the Delaware will bring us to Us first branch, tho Indiau namo of whioh is Popacton. Grossing this stream a short distaneo above their confluence, wo pursue our way across tho inter vening mountain for a few miles, when we reach the west branch, tho Coquago. W 0 arc now ready to toavo- tho Delaware, but wo will not leavo it .without a partingsigh, for it has afforded usa fcaat of tho sublime, the picturesque, and tho beautiful, too impressive to bo soon forgotten. We will pur sue our way to nloro toworing heights, ’tis truo—to more frightful lenp3, wo will admit; but nothing nritl again greot our charmed vision with a more endearing variety of tho romantio in nature, along the line of the Erio Railroad, than the panorama just witnessed of tho boautlful Delaware. , On leaving Coquago, (beautiful name,) wo at once dive, into tho great dividing mountain ridgo be tween this point oud the Susquehanna. Themoun th»n wo are now to leap, and which formorly oc cupied a long night’s travel by stage, we shall now ,oross,within the brief epaco of thirty minutes. Higher aud bighor wo asoond this northern ridge of the Appalachian chain, until tho terrific rever berating yell of tho engine whistle announces that wo are ontering tho immenso cut across tho summit of tho mountain, which has „ hero an elevation above tide-water of about 1700 foot. Tbo scone all round is one of commanding deso lation. Gray heights of rugged rock, dotted with the charred timbers of a burnt-up forest, are con spicuous lu tho picture. But wo are .nearing the top at a tremendous volocitv; in another instant wo have passed the summit, and are now literally dcwn ihe ducD-grado on the_west of the mountain at tho' rato of sixty miles nn hour* If thoro is anything in tbo universe mpro desperately dovillsh and infuriated in its fury than the ap pearance of this mountain world as it now flies past ua at the rntoof a milo a minute, while wo are standing on the platform with tho viow of tustiug our holding-on powers to their utmost capacity, I have yet to witness It. At this spoed wo shall havo littlo tirno to expatiate upon tho awful flight which wo havo made ticror-s tho most commanding emi nonco upon tho whvlo length of the road, before wo uro suddenly whirled across a bridge ono hun. dred and eighty-four feet high, spanning a narrow ravino not over two hundred and fifty feet in width. Wo noxt obtain our first glimpse of tbo fair and and placid Susquehanna, and in tbo next instant are thuudoring no was it at a fearful altitude abovo its mirror-like bed beneath us. Making a sudden Circuit at this point, wo are again hugging tho Sue* quobonna, and shall now follow its dovious wind logs for sovoral miles upon its northern bank. But before pursuing our way further westward along tho river bunk, wo must romind tho reader that he is again to bo allowod tbo pleasure of paying hU respects to the glorious old Keystone. The Susquehanna, at tho point wo have just crossed it, is pressing forward with a smile toward tho Stato of her adoption, but her hopes for tho prcaont arc to bo disappointed. A circling and very abrupt ridge of mountains, but a BhOrt distance below our crossing point, sud denly interrupts hor in hor southward oourso, and beingcompollod to cbangohorcourso turns lcisuroly westward, and a little further onward, in a slow and Inanimate mood, turns evon to tho northward, thus forming upon tho whole n groat bend in tho rivor, tho southern margin of which just dips bolow tho Pennsylvania lino. Tho town, situated in this coil, is oallod tho villngo of Groat Bond, and is about midway on tho northern boundary of Sus quehanna county. It is at this romantic spot that I have this morning tho happiness to writ© from. Pursuing tho Erie road sixteen miles northward from this point, wo arrive at Binghamton, tho most important town wo havo entered sinco leaving New York city. At this point, in order to rench Syracuse, wo toko leave of tho New York and Erie road, nnd tako tho Binghamton and Syracuse road, running almost directly northward for the distanco of cighty-oight miles, nt which point we arrive at that celebrated inland town—tho city of Syracuse. lon, the Dreamer, Tho timo allowed tis to ohange cars at Bingham, ton was exactly flvo minutes; and tho regular stopping plaoe for dinnor on tho Brio road being a few miles bcyoml Binghamton, I was obligod to fast from tho timo of my early breakfast, In Now York, until wo arrived at Syracuse at six o’clock in tho evening—a very practical tort of n way for sharpening a man’s appetite, but decidedly moro prosy than pleasant. Tho importance of attend ing to our gustatory demands grow into quite an idea with your correspondent beforo ho reached Syracuse, and had ho not soon found rolief, it would most likely havo resulted in ti popular poem entitled “Nothing to Eat!” but inasmuch as hla appotite, and hie determination to write tho pocin, vanished simultaneo sly, ho has been spared tho pates and tho world tho infliction. Syracuse is indoed qnito acitv—a rogular young metropolis. It has 30,000 inhabitants, is pubstnn tially and elegantly built, and presents an ap ponrnneo of thrift and enterprise'equal, if not euporior, to any inland town I have over visited. Its immenso salt works are the socrct of its groat prosperity, and thoy are ccrtninly a great feature of interest to tho Ainorican traveller. But I havo not timo for further ooinmont upon Central Now York. Finding on Saturday evening, that I could roach tho hills of Northern Pennsylvania at Groat Bond, without infringing upon the claims of tho Sabbath, I determined to do so, and accordingly arrived hero at cloven o’olook that night.

Many fences have been blown down, and some slight damage done to booses. > The train from the north due in the evening of the day arrived at about the usual hour, but honld' not reach the shed where passengers are landed in consequence of heavy drifts of sand near the track on the ride of the hill, just beyond the depot buildings. The immense rains swept large quantities of sand over the rails, and tho passage of the care was blocked. The passengers by this train remained' where they were during tho night, and in the morning, when the violence of the storm bad abated, left their temporary hotel for more com fortable quarters. Tho damage to the shipping on. the coast we fear very extensive. The loss of the barque Colin Mcßae, a new and beautiful vessel, and bwned principally here, is especially to be re- f retfod. She had just reached the bar on her omeward trip from England, and in endeavoring to ride out the gale, parted chains and went ashore. The gale does not seem, from accounts received, to have extended far into tho interior. -We cannot tell what damage the rice crops have sustained, but hope that it is but slight.
