have seen •enough of beauty and Interest to afford
matter for two or throe letters, did time and apace
allow. The road, after leaving Bethlehem, con
tinuo along the southern and western bank of the
Lehigh, keeping mostly close to the water's edge,
till within about a mile of Mauch Chunk, when it
crosses the river, and, following its couree along the
eastern bank, terminates at the commencement of
the Beaver Meadow Railroad, with which it con
note. The scenery along the Lehigh is wild and
beautiful. The numerous dams emoted by the Le
high Coal and Navigation Company for the pur
poses of their alaok•water naajoation, form a suc
cession of broad reaches of clear, dark water, re
flecting from its glassy surface as from a mirror
the forests and bills. which come down to the we
' tar's edge. Here and there, however, vrherathe
:milalls confined ,catirely 'within • its' artificial
-bounds, the ritrer, , left to its natural bed, rushes
and foams ever the rooks which obstruct its pas
sage, forming miniature cascades and waterfalls,
and goes bubbling and boiling on its downward
way till again Its joyousness and life is tempered
and restrained as it spreads itself out into the
calm and still surface of a pool above the next
obstructing dam.
Five miles above Bethlehem ive pass through
Allentown, the county town of Lehigh county, its
long straight street extending up the hill from the
river, the spires of tie churches and the cupola of
the court-house rising above the trees, which shut
out the buildings themselves from our view. A
few Miles further on, and the extensive Ironworks
at Craneville and Oatasauqua are passed; and
before reaching the Water Gap, where the Lehigh
has forced its way through the Blue Mountain, wo
see to the left of the road the slate quUrries at
Slatineton or Blatersville—the slates from which
are of the very finest quality for roofing purposes.
Above the Gap the mountains abruptly recede,
and the river flows for some distance through a
wide level, evidently the bottom of a Vast basin,
once filled with water, before some mighty con
vulsion of nature had rent the Blue Mountain and
afforded a passage for the long.pent•up Waters.
As we approach Manoh Chunk tho mountains
again close in on either hand, and the river, the
'canal, the railroad, and the stage road, only find
room in the contracted limits by aid of heavy
blasting and excavation along tho mountain sides.
Tho scenery is wild and beautiful, ever changing,
ever pleasing.
The Mansion House at Mauch Chunk Is a large
and well-arranged hotel, and has ample and com
fortable aecommodations for travellers and tourists
in search of the ploturesque, or of relaxation amid
the pure air of the mountains. It stands just on
the river's edge, the stage-road to Bethlehem alone
intervening, while close at its back Bear Mountain
towers up, covered with a dense forest growth,
through which, however, epath has been out lead
ing to the top of the mountain, whence a magnificent
prospect may be had down the valley of the Le
high. Tho roar of the river, as it rushes over the
dam just above the hotel, and goes foaming along
over the rooks and under the bridge, has a de
lightfully lulling effect. The boats constantly
passing upon the Lehigh canal, Allah winds along,
following the course of "the fiver, in front of the
house upon the opposite bank ; and the long trains
ofcoal oars ever rolling past, laden with their black
and shining freight, or returning empty for now
loads, add life and interest to the scene. But little
of the town itself is to be seen from the hotel. The
prinoipal street runs back at right angles to the
river, in the Val* between Mount Pisgah on the
Mirth, and Bear Mountain on the south, and the
latter shuts out the view from the hotel ; but East
Manoh Chunk, upon the opposite side of the Le
high, above the dam, Is plainly in view.
An object of some Interest to strangers is the
weigh-look on the canal, about half a mile below
the hotel, where the loaded Saab ern Weighed as
they pass deft do their way to a market. A re
&ter or the names and numbers of all the boats
need on this canal is kept at the welgh-look.
Moro than two thousand boats boats are entered
upon this register, and it is curious to see the
great variety of names given to the boats by their
owners,. and how frequently come names aro re.
peated. The Marge—simply "Mary," and then
"Mary Jane," and "Mary Elizabeth," and
" Mary Ann"—are groat favorites. "Anna," too,
is a frequently recurring name; while the mili
tary heroes come in for almost as great a share of
popularity Mekong the boatmen. Tho walk along
the tow-path of the canal is delightful in the
evening, when the rays of the son, shut off from
tho nearer landscape by Bear Mountain, strike
the tops of the more distant hills down the valley,
and light their summits with a golden blase,
while all beneath is dark with`the shades of ap
proaching night.
This morning, after breakfast, quite a party of
us took the omnibus and rode up Mount Pisgah to
the foot of the inclined plane. And here wo wore
to commence a ride, of the novelty and pleasure
and ekeitethent 'of which it is hardly possible to
give an Idea by any written description. At the
foot of the piano we took our seats in a very oom
fortable covered car, about a third of the length
of ono of the ordinary eight•wheeled passenger
oars. The safety car, which is fastened to the
steel-bands and wire rope by which we wore to be
drawn up the plane, was attached to tho rear end
of the passenger oar, the engineer at the top of the
plane was signalled, and away we started up the
ascent. The plane is over two thousand foot long,
and rises over six hundred feet; wo were eight
minutes in making the ascent. The view as we
ascended, and after we reached the top of the
plane, was beautiful in the extreme. Below us,
almost at our feet, as it seemed, lay the town,
with the river winding along its front, gleaming
to the bright sunlight ; the boats in the canal, the
oars upon the railroad, and the men and mules
engaged about the coal wharves and landings, all
reduced to Lilliputian size. The eye could follow
and take in at a glance the valley of the Lehigh,
'stretching far away southward beyond the Gap,
till the blue hills near Allentown, vanishing into
the horizon, bounded the view.
But we must not linger. A vigorous push, to
.give the cars a start, and away we go upon a de•
:sending grade for nine miles, with the aid of no
motive power but the force of gravity. The feel
ing, at first, to one who has never travelled in this
way, is one of strangeness, not unaccompanied with
a little suspicion of inseourity. The break alone
is the controlling powillt to regulate the speed or
stop the ear in ease of necessity. But in a little
while one gets accustomed to the novelty of the
whole thing, and enjoys it highly. Away we go
around the mountain, rapidly whizzing past the
tree-tops, which rise up the mountain side upon
the left, and now and then catching a glimpse
through the thick foliage down into the valley be
neath In about twenty minutes we reach the
foot of a second inclined plane. Here the aid of a
stationary engine at the top is called to play, and
we are drawn up to the Summit, the highest point
on Mount Pisgah, nine miles from Mauch Chunk.
To the northward, upon the opposite aide from the
Mauch Chunk valley, the mountain elopes down
into the valley of Panther creek, mattered all
through which are extensive collieries. At the
Bummst wo change oars, and take our seats in a
oar open at the top and on all sides, from which
we can better enjoy, the view; again the oars
were started with a push, and again we are
off, moved alone by the force of gravity. But
now we have a novel variation in the descent.
The road, instead of running in ono direction
along the mountain side to the bottom of the val
ley, zlg•aags book and forth; now we are riding
with one end of the oar in front, and then, as we
change to another traok, the other end of the ear
is the front.
The change from one track to the other is made
by a• curious and ingenious, self-acting arrange
ment, from which the entire road on this descent,
from the summit to Panther creek, takes ifs name
of the Switch• Back Railroad. At every point
whore a turn or change in the direction Is made,
the two tracks (that Is. the one descending in ono
direction, and the other continuing the descent at
en angle with the first,) come together like the
angle of the top of a Y, and unite in one track,
running out like the foot of the same latter. This
one track, or the foot of the Y, however, has an
ascending grade, up which the oar le carried by
the force of the momentum 'it has Required in its
downward course. As soon as this momentum is
exhausted, of course the oar begins to run down
the ascent, but instead of running back a little
distance, up the same road it has just before de
scended, the switch at the fork of the I' is arranged
with a spring which adjusts the switch to the track
which descends at an angle with the first; so that
the oar upon its descent from the single track con
tinues on its way down the mountain.
And so we went at a most rapid rate, now this
way, now that way—the breeze canted by the
rapid motion rendering it necessary for us to•keep
hold of our hats, bonnets, and all other matters
liable to be carried away—now dashing round a

curve at what seemed a frightful speed, and now
resting a moment as the switch.back changed our
course—and again away with the speed of the
wind, till we reached the bottom of the valley.
Here we had leisure to examine a ooal•breakor,
and rest ourselves before commencing the ascent.
This is effected by moans of two inclined pianos,
up which we were drawn by stationary engines,
and found ourselves once more on the summit,
Resuming our sesta in the oars in whioh we started
at first, wo again are whirled along by the simple
foroo of gravity, nine miles to the foot of the in
clined plane from which wo had first set out on our
ride. A short walk down the hill brought tea to
our hotel, our appetites greatly sharpened for din
ner, by the Oro, clear, bracing mountain air, of
which we had drank our full supply.
FROM BEDFORD SPRINGS.

BEDFORD, Bedford Counts,
July 24, 1858
Mn. Borten Ho, for the balmy air! Come
whore the mountain breezes blow refreshingly
o'er the fevered brow. Do you desire a cool re
treat? Leave, then, your dusty city promenades,
and hie to the green fields and shady groves of the
inimitable country. Bare wo are among the
mountain ranges of Pennsylvania. Within eight
to the West are the lofty, towering, grand old
.411eghanles. Who loves not to roam amid sodas of
elyaltin beauty? and Where, in 'a greater degree;
can he found those scones than in Pennsylvania?
and what county in our beloved Btate has wilder
and more romantic scenery than Bedford? Does
the mind long for the bold and the striking ? it
is hero. Love ye to look upon towering mountains
in wild confusion plied—upon scenery of abrupt
Majesty and of soul-stirring grandeur?—Do me
hither. Sick ye the quiet doll, where upward ye
may lift she prayerful thought in meditative si
tem ? We have such places in all their sacred
beauty—deep between our mountain' ranges, with
the tiny, pearly, gurgling stream dancing and
bounding through them. Oh, how beautiful is Na
ture ! Who has a mind so cold, so dead, as to bo
insensible to her charms?
Art thou sick? Come, and we will do thee
good. Como to the healing' waters, and bathe yo
in the limpid wave. The waters of Bedford aro
justly celebrated for their healing properties. At
the present time, these springs are thronged with
visitors from different parts of the Union, and oar•
Wray I know of no place whore the summer
months can be spent more pleasantly than at the
Bedford Springs. The arrangements for the ac
commodations of guests are so very ample, that
the most fastidious oannot fail to be pleased there•
with.
The great endeavor of all in the hot summer
months Is to keep cool; every possible means is
resorted to in order to secure this most desirable
result. Now, to those who are so situated as to be
able to leave the hot planes of the earth, I would
say come to Bedford Springs. If there is any
place in the United States that can lay a just
claim to coolants in this season of the year, moat
truly it is this. True we have not the sea breezes
that sumo of the fashionable watering places boast
of, but then we have breezes fresh and free—
broomes that come from the mountain peak; they
come ladon with the sweet fragrance of flowers,
and as they come they kiss the fevered brow, and
they cool the heated ftatne. Then there is an end-
less variety to the charms of this place. We look
not upon the same placid surface day after day,
but there is always something now; some now
place of interest to visit—beautiful drives, shady
groves, dancing streams ; lovely hills to climb,
wildflowers of radiant beauty to pluck. 0! the en
chanting delights of a country Hoene nro unfolded
to the gaze and attention in such a manner as to
render a visit bore delightful indeed.
As T before stated, there are a great many visi
tors hero at the present, and daily accessions are
being made to the numbers. Gaiety and fashion
reign supreme. Beauty and intellect are here
represented—all appeat happy in their different
pursuits after pleasure Soft musk floats upon
the evening air—beauty and elegance move to Its
time—the ball-room is nightly clouded with the
youthful and the gay. The old and snore sedate are
easily seated in the extensive parlors, er they are
promenading the beautiful grounds : all appear to
enjoy themselves—ail have the semblance of hap.
piness.
A great many of the noted of the land have been
hero—aro still bore—but I refrain from mention
ing their names. There has been some talk of
President Buohanan coming hero, but this report
I believe is not well founded. Should ho do so, I
fear his reception weuld be by no means so flatter
ing as In days of yore. Tho word Lecouipton car
ries with it a venom that rankles in the breast, of
every true lover of his country, and all the sophis
try and cunning of its advocates cannot sulfide
to prop up the fortunes of Cloth who were con
nected with the effort to force upon a high-minded
and intelligent class of citizens a Constitution
which to them was odious in the extreme. The
sturdy yeoman Democracy of Bedford county can
not be blinded and hoodwinked any longer: they
have oyes and they see—they have ears and they
hear—and the day is fast coming when they will
arise in all the dignity of manhood, and will hurl
from them the political chain of bondage which
their leaders have thrown about them. 0, K.

Pennsylvanians have I ore reason for going out, of
their State In search of beautiful scenery and the
pleasures of the watering place, than any other
people of our wide-spread nation. Nature has
given us much, and it is our duty to see and use
all that she has given. It is hard to find a spot in
all our extensive territory upon which beauty has
not laid a hand and moulded after her own heart.
There thoughts were brought to iiitnd by a recent
visit to Wabank, a charming spot on the banks of
the Conestoga, three miles from Lancaster. Here,
in a quiet retirement, whore there is nought but
beauty and loveliness, has been erected a large
and handsome mansion for the entertainment of
the lovers of Nature, and those who are worn out
with the toils of business, or wasted with sickness
or ill health. The house is beautifully located,
and surrounded by large and overshadowing trees,
the eons of the primeval forest. Tho Conestoga is
a beautiful stream, flowing through the fairest
section of the State. The grounds around are
tastefully laid out in walks. Bottling, carriages,
and bath.bouses, too, lend their pleasures. But
there is a substantial item which must be spoken
of in favor of this inviting retreat. It is kept in
the 'very nicest manner, and every comfort and
luxury is afforded the guests. Mr. Bushman and
lady, who have charge of the establishment, are
widely known, and to hear of their connection
with Wabank is to speak its praises. There are
beautiful rides in every direction, and ono will be
well repaid by a drive to Lancaster where Breams
•
man's garden furnishes every attraction. It is
rarely we have had so much enthusiasm awakened
as we have for Wabank. Wo but ask others to see
what we have aeon, and thin delightful place will
out-rival all its competitors, and be a loved spot
in the hearts of tho eons of Pennsylvania.

LETTER FROM LEBANON COUNTY.
[Correepondeuce of The Preys.]
LEBANON, July 21, 1858
I havo just returned from the capital of "old
Berks." During my brief sojourn there, I learned
sufficient to prove to the country that therpolitioal
days of J. (fancy Jones are numbered. There is
not now living a man within the limits of that star•
ling Demooratio county so odious and unpopular as
Jones. His course on the Kansas fesuo—favoring
the English fraud—breaking his pledges to his
friends—and bie utter want of ability and charac
ter as a man, have settled his fate with the masses.
There is in faot now no doubt of his inevitable
defeat. Boma of his intimato friends, however,
with whom I conversed, say that, if It becomes
necessary so as to kaop the party intact, Jones
will not submit his name to the Convention for a
renomination. You have bore, then, in a " nut
shell," the positions of things in that presumed
Lecompton stronghold.
In our county, Lcoomptonism Is dead. There is
not a single Democrat, that I know of, who dares
openly avow sentiments favorable to the infamous
fraud committed by the Administration upon popu
lar rights. Tho truth is, there aro no Lecompton
Democrats hero; all aro in favor of the cause
which The Press has so ably advocated and de
fended.
Lebanon county claims the Congressional repro
sentative of the dietriot, which composes Dauphin,
Lebanon, Snyder, and Union counties and a town
ship of Northumberland. Union has had her
turn, and so has Datiphin. Among the names sug
gested for tho Position is that of Lion. Levi Kline.
I have no doubt if Mr. Kline could ho induced to
be a candidate, hie election would follow by an
overwhelming vote. The district could hardly
present a man whose politioal rooord stands fairer,
nor one Moro experienced as a legislator, or whose
general character, both as gentleman and soholar,
oan be excelled. lie is, also, very popular in the
county, and, if nominated, will bo supported by
all the anti•Lecompton Democrats, as well as the
Republicans and Americans in it.
shall take occasion, next week, to give you
another totter, if this moots your approbation.
Before I trust my fate to thee,
Or place my band in thine;
Before I let thy future give
Dolor and form to mine ;
Before I peril all for thee, question thy soul to night

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
filniespandende of The Pressj .
WASHINGTON, July 22, 1858.
I regret to inform you of the serious illness of
our venerable Secretary of State. During the last
sever* weeks he was often obliged to remain in
hie room, owing to some indisposition ; and yet
while at home ho attended to his' official avoca
tions.; and the only benefit which ho thereby do
rived was to et cape the pressor° of the many
ho wind, however, every alternate day to
the State Department, and worked there in bin
office Until after tho usual boor. During the last
three days he was compelled to confine himself in
his room, and since yesterday to keep in bed,
suffering very much from diarrhma. I have just
returned from his residence, and found his attend
ing physician, Dr. Miller, present. The latter in
formed me that this is his third visit to-day which
he made to the General, and acquainted me of the
nature of his illness, but hopes that the General
will btr,again better in a few days ; to which I will
bore say, Amen.
On talking at the large and magnificent build
ing which the (Jenard rumples, one cannot help
wondering that, with all his greatness in deserved
statesmanship, exalted position, and acknowledg
ed riches, he lives there gnito alone, and only a
young man (a clerk in the Land Office) as his bed
room companion.
Is It not time that a different system is
inaugurated in the practice of the chiefs of
•er Government? Look at England how the
Government is managed. During nearly a half
of a century the same statesmen are again and
again at the beads of the departments ; whereas,
with us each succeeding Administration is com
polled to entrust the affairs of the Government to
young and inexpetleiseed Mesh.
Why does such a state of things exist? Simply
because, if in England the ministry is at times
composed of each mon as Lord John Russell,
Derby, Palmerston, Disraell,Gladstone, Brougham,
Lyndhurst, Gibson, and many others of equal abi
lity, they are assisted by mon who, though lees
gifted:with statesmanship, are still competent to
perfa? lyravier duties. By pursuing such a
course tee Interests of England aro well plaided ;
her statesmen retain their vigor, grow old, and
Impart their greatness to those immediately con
nected with them, and aro available whenever an
emergency arises.
Our American policy is quite different. For want
of experienced statesmen, theProsidentis compelled
to form his ministry out of men comparatively
young, inexperienced and unknown ; and it Is
but very seldom that moll an able andexpeiioneed
statesman as our present Secretary of State is
called to a seat in the Cabinet. Stroh men as the
late Clay, Calhoun, and Webster are not of every
day occurrence; and yet those remarkable wise
and good men might have still lived, were it not
for the severity of their labors. The late Secre
tary of State, Mr. Morey, died shortly after
his retirement from office, from which it can be
fairly assumed that he, like Me worthy predeces
sor, overworked himself.
In watching the daily routine of our present
Secretary of State, the truth of that assumption
verifies itself, ales, very vividly, Day after day,
week to week, and month after month, t hate aeon
the General in his office in the State Department,
beginning to work much earlier than la clerks,
and remain after the latter had left; an during
the hours be was so 000upied, to mei es a obestant
avalanche of visiteri, and listen to and answer
their various interrogatories. I have seen hint
quite recently, when, on remount of the absence of
the Assistant Secretary of State, tho whole work
devolved upon him, sitting daily in his office,
working very hard, and though divested of his
coat, the perspiration was rapidly dropping en the
papers before him, and ho was so oppressed by
heat as scarcely to be able to speak. No wonder,
then, that his onergio and persevering nature has
to pay the penalty of his dominant and patriotic
will. R.
LETTER FROM OHIO
Oorreipondence of The Presa
DRAB Sin: The spoooh of Judge Douglas at
Chicago is a subject of muoh remark, and is much
misrepresented and villified Tho:co-workers in
this et usalo against Democratic principles, and
Popular Sovereignty are a majority of the Repub
lican press, and suoh domoralized Democratic jour
nals as the Washington Union. And why is it
that we witness the strange combination between
the abolition Tribune and the once national
Union, and for the unholy purpose of defeating
that true patriot and statesman Stephen A. Dou
glas?,
From the Tribune the advocate of abolitionism
and amalgamation, the villifior of Buchanan in
1856, and the known enemy of Democratic mon
and 111081M015 we should expect nothing else, and
wish for nothing bettor. But from the Union, the
once organ of Domooraoy, and able defender of
Domonatie men and measured, svo had looked for
different course. The reason why Douglas does
not please the Tribune is his fearless defence of
soun4,ill national, Democratic principlos ; because
hownot stultify his record—a record of states•
manship and fearless integrity, than which there
is no brighter In the pages of Amorloan history—
and ge over to the enemy.
Bull. care not for this opposition of the ribune,
and would rather have it than otherwise. The
returns given by the Union, if not in the very
words, are in substanoo that he has not bumbled
himself, and, stultifying his last bright record.
oraw:Sd book a miserable penitent into,the disor
ganizing arms of the Union. I pray that, if the
praise of these mercenary papers is to be purchas
ed Ma price of such " submission and slavery,"
Judgs Douglas may novae have their prim°,
nor Me esteem of such men. And why should he
do tale ? He fought the battle manfully, and
came out viotorioue. As well might Washington
hovesurrondered to the British at Yorktown, or
Napoleon to the combined force of Austrians and
Buskins at Austerlitz, as Douglas to the enemies
of popular sovereignty. As well explicit Napoleon
to stumpier without striking a blow, asDouglas
to stand skill and see true Democratic principles
attacked without defending them.
Why not lot the question of Lecompton go, and
keep tiaitcd the old national guard of Democracy,
and let them be led on to a hundred other battles
by a Walker, a Douglas and a Wise ? Make
Looolapton a test, and you destroy the Demooratio
party and endanger the Union. Ignore it, and
we shall go on " compering and to conquer." Let
the Washington 'MUM go down on its knees, and,
with hands raised oupplloatlngly to henson, beg
forgiveness from Douglas and the people, but lot
them not stand out stubbornly, and insult the

of inking Douglas to capitulate on the ovas of vic

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS
[For The Press.]
I notice in your paper of the 22d inst. an ex
tract from the Baltimore American on the subjeot
of accidents on railroads and the inquiry by the
English House Commons as to the causes ; which I
observe have bean ascribed to three as the principal
ones, viz : "Excess of speed, inattention of ser
vants, and Afective materials." These are, no
doubt, prolific causes of accidents, both in England
and this country, but there is ono cause more,
which an experience of twenty-five years induces
me to believe Is the principal, and indeed the one
by which many of the others are produced : I mean
the breaking of wheels, which in many instances
precedes, and is the cause of, the rails being
broken and the oars being thrown off the track,
This is in consequence of the wheels being
firmly fixed on the axle, and being very
rarely, if over, of the same exact di
ameter, in running a number of miles,
though the differonoe in diameter is small, yet
that difference must be overcome by one wheel
sliding on the rail. This on a. straight track is
considerable, and when running curves is very
great; consequently, the strata on the wheels and
axle, frequently repeated, causes a break of
either the wheel or axle. Much attention has
been given to this matter heretofore, without suc
cess; but now, I believe, a remedy has been found,
that will bo effectual, by a gentleman of much ex
perience In railroad matters, who will, as goon as
the improvement is scoured by patent,• make it
known to the public. I have seen the model, and
have no doubt of the remedy being all that is re:
quirod to prevent tunny of the causes of accidents
on railroads. I will endeavor to furnish you with
a desoript ion in a few days.
Very respeotfully,

row Escape of Vol. Taylor. Family.
•
[From the Cincinnati Gazette of July Raj
The " OW Log Cabin," so famous in political
history, has gone at last! It was the residence of
General Ltarrison at North Bend, about fifteen
miles below the city, when be was nominated fdr
President, and was made lemons by a' thodsand
conga in the oampaigu of 1840. Miniature imita
tions were erected In every corner of the land,
and praises of
g , The Rough Log Cabin,
That tolls of olden time,"
were upon every tongue, and probably bad quite
as much influence in the election as any other sub
ject Hist was canvassed. But its " latch-string"
bail disappeared at last!
We have no minute details of the conflagration,
but learn from passengers who arrived by the Ohio
and Mississippi Railroad, yesterday morning, be
tween one and two o'clock, that as the train arrived
at North Bend, the old 'Log Cabin was enveloped
in flames, and that its deatruotion was Complete.
It was °Coupled by Colonel Wm. H. 11. Taylor
(who married a daughter of General Harrison) and
family, and we learn that ouch was the rapid pro
gress of the fire,
and so late its discovery, that tho
members of the household barely escaped in their
night clothes !
Of course nothing was saved in the way of fur
niture or documents, and the probability is that
many valuable papers, left by President Harrison,
together with 'articles cherished as relies of the
Old Hero, and. of the early history of the West,
have boon destroyed with the building. The only
portrait- of Mrs. Harrison in existence (painted
by Beard), and two or three of the General,
taken in different periods of his life, are also pro
bably destroyed.
Mrs. Harrison, the widow of President Harrison,
fortunately was not in the dwelling; the venera
ble lady at present being at the residence of Hon.
J. Scott Harrison, a eon of Gen. H., a few miles
beyond the old homestead.
North Bond is not only famous as the unpretend
ing residence of President Harrison, but occupies
no mean position in Western History. Ti was the
first landing place of John Cleves Symmes, the
original patentee of all the land between the two
Miami& and was at one time regarded as the
rival of Cincinnati, or "Fort Washington."
At North Bend, Judge Symmes projected tho
groat "Miami City," and wont so far as to map
out streets, lawns, public squares, and all the ar
rangements for a city of the first magnitude; but
a fortunate incident turned the tide in favor of
the present site of our flourishing metropolis, and
"North Bond" has over since remained a beauti
ful rural retreat from the dust, impurities, and
busy throng of the city.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Denver t, fol.
lowing the United States army, three hundred
and thirty miles from Leavenworth, writes as fol
lows:
Wolves were frequently soon during the day,
and just as we came on the camping ground a
large one was started. General Harney'a grey
hound caught sight of hint, pursued him, overtook
him, and—never tousheifjviveln-A , WiletherliersViA
ttfrahnif say; "This
was hardly over, when a. herd (seven or eight) of
buffaloes was dieeovered about two toilet off.
Captain Pleasanton, General Harney's aid, sot
out in pursuit, by himself, armed only with a Colt's
pistol, and had a dangerous adventure. His pur
pose was to run the game toward the camp. Ho
succeeded in driving them in the direction intend
ed, when a body of teamsters, desirous of witncsa
ing the sport, came in sight. The buffaloes took
fright, and made for the hills. The bunter pur
sued them, but hp rode a horse which had never
before seen a buffalo, and which woe hard to ma
nage beside. The hunter singled out a bull, and
shot him twice, wounding him each time. By this
time ho was quite close to bun, on the verge of
ono of those clayey precipices with which the
place abounds. The hunted animal suddenly
stopped, stretching out his forelegs, and wheeling
upon them as on a pivot, thus bringing himself
face to face with his pursuers. The horse was un
manageable, and rushed on the bull, who set his
horns to moot tho onset.
The collision was fearful. Pleasanton, conscious
of his situation, had disengaged his feet from the
stirrups, an.l just as the shook took place, or per
haps a moment sooner, sprang upon the back of
the bull, from which ho rolled down the precipice.
The horse having been gored in the breast and
belly, died instantly. The bull mist charged on
the dismounted rider, but two more ballets front
the revolver persuaded him to alter his course.
Captain Pleasanton, I ant rejoiced, suffered no
personal injury.
Ile took the affair coolly, unbuckled the girths of
his slaughtered stood, stung the saddle ant accou
trements across his shoulders, and carried thorn
into camp. No torroador or matador in the Span
iel, circus could have a more formidable antagonist
or a narrower escape. The grand sport of buffalo
hunting Is now fairly initiated. Captain Hancock,
with the .guide, chased another herd for miles
The onntain suuteeded in lodging a bullet from the
now Burnside ride in ono of them, and the guide
hit another, but it was so late that they had to
turn from tho pursuit before running them
dawn.
The De Itiviere Romance, Again
[From the N. Y Herald of yesterday.]
It was reported that Colonel Blount, with his
wife and daughter. sailed on Saturday for Mobile,
but it turns out not to bo so. Colonel Blount,
however, contemplated sailing on the above day,
and bad arranged all his affairs so as to leave in
the steamer that sailed at noon on Saturday. Ills
wife had agreed to Ytceompanyhim,_ and by an ar
rangemont made Oil the previous day they mot at
billiard's, Broadway. Hero it is reported that
Mrs. Blount was informed that the money she had
written to Mobilo for some two weeks ago had been
received by her husband, and ho had failed to fur.
ward it to her. gt •
On hearing of the filets, it is stated, she Imme
diately refused to proceed on her journey with her
husband, unless oho could have the funds that
were sent her, so that she could pay up her bills at
the Napoleon lintel. They were, however, not
handed over to her, and the result was that Col.
Blount was compelled to remain or go on without
his wife. This, it appears, he did not wish to do,
and they accordingly proceeded to the New York
Hotel, where they are at prevent stoppftig. hire.
Blount was hoard to say that she thought it was
remarkable she did not resolve the money, and
could not account for it, ns the parties to whom she
wrote would not refuse complying with her request.
Tho amount is said to bars been enough to have
paid all her Indebtedness to Mr. Bunko and a
few outside bills which she contracted.
What course they intend to pursue is not, as
yet, known, but Mre Blount has signified Has her
intention not to return home now until the bills
in question aro all paid. Renck° is visited daily
by a largo number of his friends at tho Bergen
jail ; ho is much improved in health, and is said
to have remarked that his sentence was perfectly
just, and that he has no one to blame but his law
yer, Mr. Mulford.
As to the Zounve, ho Is still at large, his where
abouts remaining a mystery. lie will no doubt
turn up, as he is dreadfully in want of clothing
and money, no stated by Miss Blount ; and it will
be impossible for him to keep secluded much
longer. His clothing Is shortly to be sold by She
riff Francis.
The New Mechanical Compositor
We have soon the m uoh-talked•of type-setting
and distributing machine, recently patented by
Mr. Alden, a practical printer. ``Ye
cannot, nor
will we attempt to explain it, further than it has
a rotary motion, and picks the typos out of a ease,
and deposits them in a proper position for justifi
cation. It Is, certainly, a great invention, but
will never some into universal use. It oan only
set the typo with the rapidity of our best composi
tors, but then it combines one qualification which
will net bo lost sight of, and that is, it distributea
the type at the same time that the setting operation
is going on, or, in other words, it keeps the eases
full al/ the limo. It might be used to advantogo
by book publishers, or even on weekly nowspa.
pers ; but on a daily morning journal it would
rather retard than facilitate the work. It often
happens, in a daily paper offico, that a piece
of copy has to be out up in what the printers
call " takes" of four and five lines each, and
divided between thirty or forty mon, every ono of
whom could probably accomplish as muoh In the
few minutes that were allotted him as the ma
chine. The only saving of time or labor in this
new invention that we can perceive, is in replacing
the types after they have performed their duty.
A good compositor will compose anti distribute
eight thousand ems in ton hours. This machine
will do the same work in about six hours, no time
being lost In replacing the types; but it just as
much requires the hand of a practical
. printer to
operate it as though it were nothing more than a
"stick and rule." A daily paper office would re
quire nearly as many machines as it now does
compositors, and the cost alone, which is about
Arleen hundred dollars each, would bar their en
trance into such an establishment, if nothing else.
Thorn is one other advantage it has, which even
printers themselves will hail with joy—it dis
tributes pi after being not up with the FlllllO

Police Business.—On Monday a portion of
the operatives at a cotton factory, situated at
Twelfth and Washington streets, First ward, de
manded higher wages, and being refused by the
proprietors, " struck," and left their ceaployment.
They then endeavored to induce the balance to
leave, but did not succeed. They theri threatened
to wait until six o'clock in the evening, and whip
the remaining workmen. Lieutbnant Hamilton
hoard of the affair, and immediately telegraphed
to the Central Station for an extra force. The
Chief was at the Nineteenth ward, and word was
sent to him who ordered the reserve force of the
Second, Third, and „Fifth districts to assemble
in the First-ward station house, and, in twenty
minutes after the first despatch was sent the men
wore all there. Thus we have another 'evidence of
the utility: of the municipal telegraph,
At six o'clock the. crowd of "'strikers" did as
semble in front of the factory, and considerable
excitement prevailed in the vicinity. Most of the
residents in the neighborhood had their windows
up, for the purpose of witnessing the attempt to
force the other workmen to submit to the strike.
As the workmen commenced leaving the factory,
the ringleader of the gang stepped forward in a
pugilistic, manner, but was immediately ordered
frame the spot by an officer. Ifs, then raised his
voice and exclaimed, " Ladies and gehtlemen, I
invite you all to demo to Broad and lyashington
streets. We aro going to hold a publ;o meeting
there."
The public meeting was not held, hOliever, as a
posse of policemen were despatched to he place.
The belligerent party, when they arrived, wore
somewhat astonished when they saw eters, and did
not attempt to hold the meeting. The crowd
shortly afterwards quietly dispersed.

The Ade Trade.--z Within the past ten years'
no branch of manufacture has so rapidly increased
ne that of boots and !shoos.. Philadelphia,iwhich,,
' but a few years ago, was almost entirely. depen
dent on Eastern makers for their supply, at the
present time takes' first rank in this branch of
trade and manufactures, and distributes more of
this ware than any other city in the Union. In
the production of shoes, as in all things else; the
artistic taste of oar( workmen is manifested in the
groat 'Variety of designs, combining, with singular
completoneas, beauty of appearance with dura
bility, and thorough adaptation for the uses for
'which they are intended. We Visited the exten
sive establishment of Menne. Joseph II Thomp
son d: Co , and examined with much interest the
'specimensoffered for our inspection by the accom
;ilaziatingmetahot.ef..the—fam..whe noted ;as ,our
cicerone on the occasion. There is a :goodly
number of Western and Southern buyers in the
city, and quite a brisk trade Is anticipated: The
stock of shoes in the warehouse of this firm, as
well as George W. Tayler, and other equally ex
tensive dealers, has not boon Surpassed for: many
years. We advise our Western and Southern
friends to visit Philadelphia before going else
where.
The Scott Lmon.— TMs favorite military
organization will make an exoursion'to-day, re Ta
con. Speaking of the Legion, we would like to
call ' the attention of their friends to the fact that
they are now hating engraved a most splendid
certificate to be presented to those who contribute
to the fund for burying their &crated brethren
It is a splendid work of art. and worthy of preser
vation by its recipients. Between two pedestals,
on which are enraved the names of the battles of
Mexico, stands the monument of the Legion, and
a spirited sketch of the storming of Chopultepec
occupies the bock ground. Upon the pedestals are
two members in uniform, having at their hacks
palm trees, and at their feet the peculiar plant. if
Mexico. At the top of the picture is a beautiful
portrait of General Scott, the military godfather
of the Legion, surrounded by warlike emblems
and the National and State flags AltogetlMr, the
whole design and workmanship is creditable to the
artist, Mr. Yroderick J. Philliner, and one of
which the Legion and its friends may well be
proud.
The Nuisance to the Squares.—The press
is boldly speaking out against that continued evil
in our public squares—the congregation of rhardy
Men and lewd women to snob an extent that, de
cent people dare not enter these otherwise attrac
tive resorts. We call upon the police, in the name
of the public, who nro debarred from the enjoy
ment of their privileges during this season of the
year, to speedily suppress this groat and growing
evil. If our parks are to be made the rendezvous
fot all the bawdy characters in the oily, they, had
better be abolished at once, and brick walls usurp
the green grass and gravelled walks It is really
a disgrace to the name of Philadelphia that an
evil so gross and monstrous should be lenger'per
1-flitted, to spite of the appeals of an outraged peo
ple who are daily raising their voices against it.
We trust that the pollee will do their duty, as that
is all that is requisite.
Political.—Considerablo attention is mani
fested in every scotion of the city in regard td the
next municipal election. The candidates and their
friends aro already actively at work, counting the
chances of success; and from all that we learn
relative to the strength of the different llamas
named in connection with the offices of Sheriff,
Register of Wills, Clerk of the Orphans' Court,
its., we must elate, upon the information of their
respective 00-workers, that every gentleman seek
ing these positions will most certainly be nomi
nated. At all events, all parties aro preparing
their forces to make a vigorous contest for the
county officers ; and we are only prophet enough
to state that the winning one will be successful.
arrest of Policemen.—Yesterday morning
Alderman Clark bold Ellis Ewell and James It.
Bowles, two of the now policemen of tho Seven
teenth ward, to answer at court. The accused
were arrested on a charge of aggravated assault
and battery upon two respectable citizens of that
ward. It was alleged by the complainants that
during the delegate election on Monday evening
in the fifth precinct of the Sbvanteonth ward, the
officers came up to the crowd whojwere gathered
about the precinct window,
and. used some very
insulting language towards them Upon being re
monstrated with, it is said that they falsely ar
rested the gentlemen, who subsequently preferred
the charge against them.
The Shields Guards.—Thin now infantry
corps, attached to the second brigade, that were
organized on the 22d day of March last, now num
ber forty-five men, and will make their first parade
on next Thanksgiving day. The uniform consists
of a blue cloth coat, blue cloth pants, and bear
skin cap. We understand that on the tint Mon
day in next month there will bo an election for
captain, which position has been tendered to Mr.
Petor Summers, a gentleman standing six foot two
and-a-half inches in stature, and well versed in
military discipline, having had much experience
in such matters. The Guards aro composed of
€OlllO of our best citizens, and will add to the ap
pearance of our military.
Another Responsibility.—Yestordayaftornoon
a small girl was metat Broad and Spruce streets
by a woman carrying a child in her arms. The
woman requested the girl to mind the baby for a
few minutes. The latter took the child, while the
former departed, and did not return. The little
innocent was taken to the Eighth-ward station
house, whore it now remains. It was in a dying
condition when we last heard of it.
Columbia Engine Company.—This old and
favorite company aro preparing to build a Inky
and handsome house. Their numerous friends
will not forget them in the hour of need. Prompt
and efficient at all times, this organization hes
won a reputation of which any company might
well be proud.
Fell from a Illadow.—Yesterday morning,
about three o'clock, a man named William Rod
gers, while in a somnambulistic state, fell from the
third-story window of a building, at Broad and
South streets. Ile received injuries of rather a
serious character. The unfortunate man was con
voyed to the Pennsylvania hospital.
Interesting Yacht Race.—The race between
the yachts Theo. Esling" and " Geo. hi.

start from the Kensington Water Works wharf at
half-past nine o'clock A. biand proceed to Cha

The telegraph has already announced the
feet of the destruction of the - great Eastern mail,
on Saturday morning last, near St. Johnsville, by
,fire. The Albany Statesman of. Saturday. even
ing gives the following particulars ; " Early this
morning a baggage oar attached to the Cleveland
Express train due bare from the West at 4.30, took
fire when near St. Johnsville. The train was run.
to the station in the hope of obtaining realer ; but
on arriving there the flames had obtained such
headway as to render all efforts unavailing. The
mails were nearly 'all' destroyed. The loss to the
company will not fall short of $20,000, as a large
amount of valuable baggage has already been
claimed. One family of six or seven• persons, on
their way to Europe on a pleasure trip, bad all
their beggago burned, and claim also for the loss
of passage consequent upon the accident. At one
time, the wood at St. Johnsvale station took fire,
and threatened a serious conflagration, but fortu
nately the flames were subdued. The fire in sup
posed to have originated from some sparks front
the locomotive." The Albany Journal has the
following additional: "We are informed by the
postmaster that the Buffalo, Rochester, Auburn,
Syracuse, and Utica mails, due this morning, were
considerably burned, with a portion of their con
tents.- 'A' passenger, whose baggage was burned,
and who was on his way to Europe, says he had.
