11re proprietors feel warranted in Raying that to fami

RETREAT from tho lowlands or the city, there is not
one in the mountains of 'Virginia offering greater induce
ments. Largo, airy, well-ventilated, well-furnished
rooms, and a goad table, have always distinguished this
watering-place.
The mineral waters (Alum and chalybente) have been
pronounced by distinguished chemists and physUiatis
equal in some respects, and, as a tonic nod invigorator,
R
often superior to our ockbridge Spring, while the pure
mountain freestone water cannot be excelled BIB' rarely
equalled for its purity and salubrity.

ROBERT T. CONRAD
Of the life of a man of genius, passed befoi.o
our eyes, few particulars
. can be gleaned, on
tho moment. It is the aggregation of recol
lections and observations from many minds,
which cannot be collected suddenly, which
make a fitting biography. The late Mr.
CONRAD, whose sudden death we had to record
yesterday, cannot bo allowed to pass away
without some permanent memorial, in which
his literary, judicial, and political career will
be fairly and fully traced. Here, in a news
paper, only the leading and more prominent
points of his career can ho glanced at.
Renner T. CONRAD was born in Philadel
phia, in 1810. Having received the inesti
mable benefit of a good education, ho em
it-fenced the study of the law, under his uncle,
Mr. THOMAS KITTRRA. At an early ago, he
turned from law to literature, performing the
duties of editor of the Daily Commercial In.
tclligenccr. To the last, his predilection for
journalism would appear to have been un
abated, for since his retirement from the
bench, he is understood to have written many
articles for our contemporary, the Inquirer.
In his earlier life, however, ill-health drove
him from editorship back to law, and applying
himself to practice, ho was soon after appoint
ed Recorder of his native city-=an office which
Was then judicial, though it his since boon
contracted into a mere police magistracy. Ho
had held this office for two years, when he be
came a Judge of the Court of Criminal &s
-alons In the city. When that tribunal was
abolished, he resumed his connection with the
press, contributing to the North American and
other journals. In' 1854 he was elected Mayor
of Philadelphia, under the Consolidation Act,
and on the expiration of his term, in 1856, ho
again had a seat on the Bench, as Judge of
the Court of Quarter Sessions, on the resig
nation of the Hon. W. D. KELLEY. 'He quit
ted office, last year, when his term expired,
and again entered into private practice.
From the very pature of his election, in 1854,
by the Native American party, Mr. COIdRAD
was what may be called a partisan Mayor.
On the bench he was acute and able, without
any very recondite knowledge of the law.
His mind was active, and his charges, sum
mings-up, and judgments were terse and, at
times, almost eloquent. His temperament
was too active, it was admitted, for the duties
of chief magistrate or judge.
As an orator he was highly distinguished.
He was fluent, without being diffuse, and,
in politics,
Ilis'tongue dropped manna, and could make the worse
Appear the better reaenn),
His eloquence was ornate and figurative—
but gems were among the flowers. He was
eminently a ready speaker—so spontaneous,
indeed, that his oratory literally seemed to
be born of the moment. Ife did not argue
closely, when addressing a multitude, but
was a splendid declaimer. His voice was
under fine control, his gestures not violent,'
his bearing graceful, his words flowed out from
his lips with fluent rapidity, each exactly
where the most fastidious critic would have
desired to have it, and, in very many re
spects, he realized the ideal of a fine orator.
Yet, with all his merits—and they were
many—es politician, judge, and public speaker,
it is by his literary achievements that ROBERT
CONRAD will best be known in aftertime.
It might be said of him, as was truly said of
I/ mum, that, fur Polities, he
fr ,.,,:p o Narrowed hi, ;MIA,
As a journalist, Mr. d k OVItAIVIErESV•;n- -
parlors. In the words of the ?forth
can "He wrote with masculine vigor on
every subject within the range of a daily jour;
nalist's duties ; and ho brought to the discus
sion of every question ample information, a
logical method of treatment, and an exhaust
less faculty of illustration." The Bidletin
says "As a judicial and ministerial officer,
ho often appeared to advantage ; but his talent
and temperament were not such as to fit him
peculiarly well for such duties, and his career
as a judge and as a magistrate, has been sub
jected to much criticism. It is as a literary
man that ho will be most gratefully remem
bered, and had his intellect been more exclu
sively directed to the pursuit of literature,
without the distractions' of politics and law,
he would have attained to very high emi
nence.
The efforts of a journalist, however success
ful, are at best extremely evanescent. Mr,
CONRAD'S newspaper articles; clever as they
were, aro not generally remembered. It was as
a poet, and particularly as a playwright, that
Mr. CONRAD has obtained a reputation which
will live. It would be absurd to say that his
name will occupy the foremost'rank in Ame
rican literature, bid he undoubtedly will take
a high place in tho second rank as Wend/.
His first tragedy, called ‘; Conrad of Na
ples," was written before he had reached the
age of 21. It was successful, when put upon
the stage. It has been remarked, as significant
of his own opinion of it, that he did not in
clude it in a collective edition of his works,
published in 1852.
In 1835, when Mr. CONRAD Was twenty-five
years old, be wrote a tragedy called tt The
Noble Yeoman," which was produced, we
believe, under the management of Mr. F. C.
WEMYSS, then a theatricallesseo and manager.
It did not meet with success on representa
tion, and was withdrawn. Several years later
—in 1841, wo believe—on tho suggestion and
at the request of Mr. EDWIN FORREST, the
tragedian, whose solicitation took the tangible
form of a payment of $l,OOO, Mr. CONRAD
wrote the popular play of "Jack Cade," (shice
published as ce Aylmere ; or, The'bondman
of Kent,") in which some of the materials
of fc The Noble Yeoman" were employ
ed. .This drama was written expressly for
the display of Mr. FonnEsr's great and
peculiar talents, and there is no doubt that
the actor's stage experience and personal idio
syncracy suggested many striking "points"
to the author : indeed, the published corres-'
pondence on the subject shows what pains Mr.
FORREST took, and with what cheertnl willing
ness Mr. CONRAD acknowledged the favor, to
make "Jack Cade" a good acting play. In
May, 1841, it was produced at New York, with
great success, and the character of the hero
has ever sinco been among Mr. Fonnner's
best representations.
In 1850, on the eve of collecting his poems,
Mr. CONRAD solicited and obtained pored , sion
from Mr. FonnEsT to include "Jack Cade,"
which had been sold to him (Mr. FORREST)
nearly ten years before. Mr. FORREST did
not assent to this request, but the play was
included in the collective edition of Mr.
ConnAn's poems, published in 1852. In No
vember 1856, under the new Copyright Act,
Mr. FORREST, as proprietor of the play (writ.
ten for and purchased by him), took the re
quisite steps for obtaining the solo acting
right of c , Jack Cade." This right, however,
was disputed, last October, at Arch-street
Theatre, when Mr. WHEATLEY produced the
play under an authorization from Mr. CONRAD.
The public need not be reminded of the liti
gation which ensued on this subject. Public
opinion, it may be stated hero, without preju
dice to Mr. CONRAD, was very generally in
favor of Mr. FORREST.
Though ,‘ Jack Cade- , owes much to the
able representation of the democratic hero by
Mr. FORREST, it is undeniable that it abounds
with noble passages, that the language is ani.
mated as well as vigorous, and that it was a
very creditable production fur a young man of
. 1:Ivo-and-twenty. There were many things ip
it, no doubt, which tho author's more matured
judgment would have omitted or recast, but,
on the whole, Mi. CONRAD is entitled, on this
tragedy, to rank high, though not the highest,
among American dramatists.
The collective edition, above mentioned as
published in 1852, .contained this play as
AylMare, or tho Bowtman of Icoliti with
other Poems." These last are chiefly of the
class called "fugitive" and MU nearly ell of
a meditative cast. Writing poetry was but an
pogo& in Mr. CO:MAWS very active career,
yet it is as poet that he will probably bark , hi.
name hest remembered.
In private lifo Mr. CONRAD wa3 an eminently
aocial man, and his conversation W./.1 extremely
fascinating, touching on a variety of subjects,
and (as was said of Got.nsattrit) embellishing
whatever he touched.
Ills death,which was sudden, was caut:d by
apoplexy. "On Sunday evening," :41d Judge
KELLEY, in tho Court of Quarter Sessions,
yesterday," when the evening sun was sinking
far, far down Into the western hemisphere,
bathing the sky in glory and magniticenee,
my friend retired from his friends, and returned
to his home. Ero the clock had struck again,
his family found hint a lifeless corpse." It
will be seen, by a reference to our obituary,
that Mr. CONRAD'S funeral will take place to
morrow afternoon.
EPIIEMERA—No. 1
ON TIIF. ItAll,
[Written fur The Prem.]
Aa we live in one of the suburban distrio Ls, and
not many squares from the line of that new and
pleasant form of locomotion, known as the passen
ger railway, we often avail ourselves of its smooth
and noiseless cars to transport Ets into the seeth
ing caldron of city life. The conductors of these
pleasant conveyances are generally agreeable and
communicative, and though their sphere of ob
eervation b limited, yet in that sphere dens of
them are acute observers. 'Tie pleasant these
fine and sunny mornings, to stand upon the con
dodoes platform, and observe the exits and the en
trances, and the various phases of character, which
are as well developed in a railway car as any other
place. For this privilege wo modestly pay our five
cents, which gives us also the right to . an
inside seat, (when there is one,) and also gives us
what we most desire now—a full view of the in
terior, and its human freight.. Ha! we oould
have sworn it. There is our old friend, with the bald
head. and the fearful cotton umbrella, which latter
article is a ginzham cylinder of an unknown
color, about the thickness and shape of a feather
bolster, gaily ornamented at the apex with a brass
ferule eight inches in length, and surmounted by
a buok-horn handle, the whole forming a terrific
offensive or defensive weapon, and wielded by the
bald-headed gentleman aforesaid, would make a
powerful catapult or battering ram. See how per
sistently He proprietor looks out of the front win
dow, hearing unmoved the shuffling of feet which
indicates that the car is becoming crowded, and
steadily resisting the insinuating inquiries of the
oonductor " if there is any seat for another lady."
An uplifted finger stops the car, and a hirsute,
Middle-nod gentleman, with keen, dark and cun
ning epee, closely set together, leisurely monde
the stops. How well he appears to be known, and
how coolly be takes the greetings of his follow
passengers ! People-who know nothing of. bunion
nature would say that after this gentleman's re
cent performance, in connection tvtth the purehase
of a certain large building fur the ttso of our wor
thy uncle, by which en indefinite number of thou
sands of dollars, by a pleasing process of transmu
tation, found their way into 'this worthy indivf
.dual's pockets, that his friends and acquaintance
would be rather shy of him. 'What an absurdity!
Had he, indeed, attempted this feat and failed,
then, perhaps, people Might have looked coldly
upon him. But a eumessful " coup" of this sort, as
no ono knows bettor than he, insures and impelled
his popularity. A little further on our way, and
another specimen of the successful politician and
office-hUnter takes hid seat. What a self. satisfied
smirk there is on his broad and smoothly shaven
countenance, and how daintily and delicately he
is arrayed ! Ms jewelry alone would purchase
the fee eimple of a house and lot fora poor man,
and the loose and unconsidered gold and silver in
his pockets would keep many a virtuous woman
from starvation, or worse. How he and the hiP.
auto gentleman,.after coldly nodding, glare at each
other, for they are rival demegogues. Another
atop. Alt ! here comes something more interest
ing than politicians or place-hunters. A charm
ing young girl, (one of the most beautlfnl, if not
fist dawn of womanhood, UCZOitiinTeVYathaV.
ady evidently her mother, enters the car.
No occasion fowny appeal by the conductor to
the. gallantry of the passengers now. The blush
and smite of that young beauty has found seats
at once, and even our bald-headed friend with the
cotton weapon aforesaid, bad he turned hii head
around (which ho didn t), would have relented,
when nothing short of the total destruction of the
conveyance would otherwise servo to unseat him
until he got to the end of bia journey. A loud
bey ! boy! from the side-walk and we stop again.
Who have we now? Methinks we have seen
this face before, and not in any honest company
either. Let us see if it will ho recognised by our
description ! A florid, smooth, and almost beard
less countenance, upon which vice and dissipation
have set their ineffaceable seal; an atrocious
eye, whose lightest glance causes all modest
women to shudder; full and sensual lips,
upon which there is a slight stain of the
Nicotean weed—theso are the facial adornments of
the last arrival. In person he is attired in shining
black, and in his yellow shirt front, which is of a,
violent and startling pattern, he - wen:so a diam - ond
'breath of the size of a cheese plate. Ori his large,
red, and ungloved fingers, he makes a great dis
play of costly rings, and from his fob—pendulum
like—depends a hoax" gold chain of a surprising
pattern, and nearly eighteen inches in length.
Ills reception by the conductor evldently die-
pleased him, as that official openly takes a very
hard bite at the piece of silver which is ostenta
tiously selected from a large handful of that coin
whim. this pretentious individual entries in his
pockets. lie asks, in an irate tone, "if he thinks
it bogils?" hi which the coyluctor coolly . replies,
(after the bite, however,) `t that he doesn't think
so wow." •
The emphasis on the last word inereases his ire
and scowling fiercely at the conduotor, ho enters
the car, That official then confidentially in
forms Vs : "That he knows them ore ducks, and
ho ain't to bo done." A' littlo inquiry as to the
habits of the gentry alluded to by our friend, un
der the name of a well-known domestic bird, satis
fied us, whore we had seen this specimen of the
genus before, and we watched his .proceedings in
the car with some interest, "and especially the ef-
feet he produced upon our charming young friend.
As some rare and 'tender flower, highly sensitive
in its organization, at the approach of a storm
doses its petals., and inclines its head. to the gale,
so did our young beauty (wlioso hilf
coquettish glances nothing but fealty to our be
loved spouse and fourteen responsibilities of all
sizes prevented us from returning) retire within
herself when this basilisk's eye rested on her,
and veiled, and half shuddering, she nestled closer
to her mother.
By the other occupants of the oar he was simply
stared at, but by both the politicians he was
recognised cordially. Let our distinguished friend,
however, beware, and make his hay while the sun
shines, Ills opportunities are large now, but his
career is limited, for written down in a certain
book, which those keen-eyed gentlemen, Messrs.
Russell and Collation, often consult, are cer
tain curious facts in his history, whiOh show
a remarkable amount of interest in him on
the part of these gentlemen, and some day;
whilst ho is perhaps oniqing his afternoon stroll
on Chestnut street, a mysterious finger will beckon
to rtim, whose lightest motion makes him tremble
even now, and all his gay plumage and gaudy
jewelry (obtained ho best knows how) will fade
away, and honest men will breathe deeper and
freer when his presence no longer taints the air.
But the car stops, and so must wo, for we aro at
Chestnut street, and near the scene of our daily
labors. The two politicians get out, and so do we.
Our distinguished friend swaggers up Chestnut
street to the scene of his labors, whatever they
may be ; and heaving a slight sigh to the memory
of our young beauty, who posses away from us
like a dream, we plunge again into the vortex of
hard and dull reality. AS a parting word, we
would say to the president and directors of our
railway that their oars and arrangements 'are
nceirly perfect but for overcrowding, and we
humbly submit that forty persons packed into a
oar which will conveniently hold but twenty is
somewhat of a grievance, with the thermometer
at 90 dog. in the shade ; and this we say without
intending to rail.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5, 1858.
The conduct of the Hudson's Bay Company is
not characterized by ally . degree of liberality. Al
ready a lieensa tax on millers has been instituted,
and lately a proclamation of Gov. Douglas to pre
vent American vessels entering Frazor's river, was
issued at Victoria, Vancouver's • Island. The
document is dated May 8, and is to the following
effect:.

• Whereas, it is commonly reported that certain
boats and other vessels, have entered Frazer river
for trade; and vrhereas, there is reason to appre
hend that other persons are prop tring and fitting
out boats and vessels for -the same purpose:
Now, therefore, I have issued this, my procla
mation. warning all person's:that such acts are con
trary to law, and infringements upon the rights of
the Hudson's Bay Company, who ore legally untitled
to the trade with Indians in the British possessions
on the northwest coast of America, to the exclusion
of all other persons, whether British or foreign. -
And also, that after fourteen days from the date
of this, my proclamation, all ships, boats, and ves

in Primer river or in any of the bays,- rivers, or
preeks of the said British possessions on the north
west coast of America, not having 'a license from
the Hudson's Bay Co - moony, and a sufferance from
the proper °floor of customs at Victoria, shall be

This edict, of course, save a correspondent of a
New York paper, can only bear on Americans,
who are thaoid7 persons who have yet moved in
the direction of the river. The men who, in die•
tress, remain in Port Townsbend, will also feel its
effects if enforced 'lt is probable they might find
employment in ,rading boats, but the proclamation
would shut them out from 'the occupation. The

interdict trade on Frazer's river' is questioned, and
any attempt to confiscate vessels would load to
serious results. The reciprocity treaty, it is
thought, confers the-right of entering the rivers
for the purpose of commerce, even in the territory
of the Hudson. Bay Company. A vessel-of-war

Return of the Mormons to cannon Talley.
By George Webber, direct from Carson Valley,
we learn the following report has reached Carson,
Valley, that fifteen hundied Mormon families aro
now on their way to that, place. and that Brigham
Young had loft for parts unknown. This news
comes by the Soshones and Pah Utes. It was com
municated to Asa Canton, a trader at or near Rag
town. Asa co:alders the -news reliable, from the
Mot that ho has had frequent news by the same
Indians, and he has never found them to be false
in a single instance.
Webber stated that the gold mines on Walker's
river are a failure, and that Farwell's report is
not correct.
Steubenville, Ohio, stands upon a coal bed.
The Herald, of that plaoe, says a shaft has been
sunk in Market street, and coal ranched at the
depth of 220 feet The vein is four feet thick, and
the coal is of a suporior quality for household, me
chanical, manufacturing and gas purposes. About
one thousand bushels aro raised daily, and the
amount will soon be increased to throe thousand
bushels. The Herald very aptly winds up the ac
count by hoping that the coal bed will never take
flro ; if it should, Steubenville will have a hot time
of it.

ALTOONA, Logan HOW% 311118 2:5, '5B
As you taken great interest in mentioning the
various retreats where Philadelphians can go to
enjoythe cool breezes,and escape from the heat
common to a oily, permit a constant reader of your
very valuable journal to mention the " Logan
Rouse," at this place, under the control of those
gentlemanly proprietors, Miller & Roe. The house
itself is not excelled anywhere in the State, not
withstanding the many fine and capacious hotels
that Pennsylvania can boast of: built by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, at a cost of $130,-
000, with every modern improvement—the rooms
largo and airy, baths on every Mier—and, in fact,
everything calculated to make ono feel easy and
comfortable. The table is supplied with the choicest
delicacies of the season, and the accommodating
hosts spare no pains to make their guests truly at
home. The scenery about the town is grand ; the
ride from this place, to the 'great. tunnel on the
Central road at Gallitzin is alone worth a trip from.
Philadelphia here. Fine trout fishing, which the

content., as the woods about are filled with squirrels
and birds. I have no time to write of the many
ways of passing ono's time pleasantly to himself
(and at the same time enjoy the cool mountain
breezes) that can be found here. Let any of your
readers who want to go to the mountains come
here, and I know they will bo pleased. Porto.
