Editorial Correspondence. j
Railway Excursion from Philadelphia
to Wheeling* { -
Early in the apt lug of tbo present year, tlie
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company deter
mined to invito the Western editors to p&Bs
over and examine their road, aDd visit Baiti.
moro and Washington. Invitations were spread
widely so as to include the editorial corpi of
Northwestern Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Southern Michigan, Wisconsin, lowa, Miniie.
sota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Central and
Western Kentucky, and Tennessee, Weßtert
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and
Arkansas. The invitations (good, in every
instance, for a trip to aud from Baltimore, be
tween the 16th of April and the first of July)
were liberally joined in by about lbrty leading
Bailway connecting lines, West and Soutlt of
Wheeling, the Virginia terminus of the Balti
more and Ohio - Railroad, and also by several
lines of steam navigation. About 1600 editora
availed themselves of the proffered kindness,
and were sumptuously entertained at Balti
more, as well as all along the line, the majority
also visiting Washington and Mount Vernon,
the Homo and Tomb of Washington,
thanks to the perseverance, tact, and patriot
ism of her Daughters, composing the Mount
Vyrnon Ladies’ Association, is now the pro.
perly of this mighty confederation of sover
eign States.
Although Philadelphia does not lie In a
Western latitude, some of 'its editors received
Invitations, to a complimentary excursion fon
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad—literally! to
visit Wheeling and Parkersburg and Wash
ington—and,.upon this day week (Monday,
May 38th), a party started from Philadelphia,
at noon. It included the following editors:
Morton McMichael, Esq., North American,
Git,soil Peacock, Esq., Evening Bulletin,
Lonis A. Godey, Esq., Godey’s Ladles 1 Back,
and Dr. Shelton Mackenzie, Forney’s Press,
There were also. John Brodhead, Esq., Presi
dent of the Canjden and Atlantic City Rail,
road, Mr. and Mrs. J. B, Llppfncott, Mr, and
Mrs. Robert E. Peterson and daughter, :W,
V. McKean, Esq., and daughter, Furman
Sheppard, Esq., and son, Mr. and Mrs. Lesley,
and George W. Childs, Esq, ;
Arriving at Baltiupro at 4 P. SI,-, hnd
quickly transferred to the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, wo speedily were cu route lVom itbe
Camden station, well inclined to bo pleased
with each other, and especially with the femi
nine additions to our party, The good tiro,
per, cordiality, and high-intelligence
of the ladles, combined to form a great element
of enjoyment, and’made the entire exoqrfion
evemmore pleasant than the most sanguine
among us had anticipated. :
■Special provision had been mado for our ac
commodation. Upon tiie Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad there are a few « officers’ cars,’*
qsed almost exclusively by the principal offi
cers of (he pomyany, on the business of: the
lino, and occasionally wheg a special ac
commoiation is to be giyei) tq otjior per
sonages. Two of these pars were placed at
our disposal, making tho ne plus ultra of
easy and even luxurious- - accommodation.
Each car contains' a smalt parlor or office,
with sofas, chairs, a table;-and-stove ;nh)o, ft
yif'i.j/iTig-alxWTiiTr.Titj containing thsoo WcdSjWUfi
other suitable “ fixings ;” and, finally, a smaller
room, With 1 sola'and tabic.' At ono end,
which connects with the cars, is the usual
mode of entrance; tlie other is a small
platform, with iron railing all round it, on
which there is room foj four or five chairs.
Asa matter of courtesy to tho ikir ladies who
accompanied us, their car was placed lost, ena
bling them to see the country to the greatest
advantage. Prom Harper’s Ferry, we had a
special engine to-Wheeling, and one of the
usual railroad passenger-cars waj placed bo
tween the officers’ oara. Daring the whoje
trip, tho ladies remained in their own car, to
which iho gentlemen of tho party had ac
cess, which they did themselvos tho plea
sure of frequently enjoying., Tho forward
poition ol the gentlemen’s car was occupied
by the pommissariat Department, which was
pj iced under control of a lyclj-known rtsluq
rateur, whoso name is Henry Jakea—n public
character in tho Monumental City—in a word,
the Augustine of Baltimore. Ho. was assisted
by Jerry Dorsay, another gentleman of color,
wile waited so well, so indefatigably, agd so
courteously—constantly suggesting tho pro
priety of takiDg refreshments which no one
could expect to flud “ on tho rail,” and tri
umphantly protjucjof; Jhejn, aaKobcrt-Houdin
brings a.dosten of liquors out of a single bot
tle—that, besides giving him some substantial
reasons for his remembering us, Wo revived,
in his favor, the dormant title of Count
D’Orsay, by which designation it is to he
hoped he will continuously be known in fu
ture!
WHOLE
Philadelphia.
Immediately after departing from Baltimore,
My. \V. Prescott t c *mitli, Master of Trans
portation on the )ine, made hi? appeayanco
uinoiig tys, and tho ifEjtya], introductions having
been made by Mr- Childs, (who offjqfated as
urnstcy of poyemop|eg, and hajled Mr. Smitl)
as an old and valued friend,) we surrendered
ourselves, for the. remainder of our journey
ing, to the provident and gonial surveillance
of this most Intelligent gontleman. The lito
rary members of our party the more willingly
did this, because Mr. Smith is it man of let
ters as well ns a thorough man of business—
author o< -‘The Book of tho Groat Rail,
way Celebrations of 1857,” published by tho
Appletons of Now York,'in 1858, and long
since out of print. A better Cicerone than
Mr. Rrescott Smith could not bo fotißd, tor
he knows'every point along tho lir.o, “like a
book,” and failed not to draw our partidular
attention to overy thing worth notice, lie was
the life and soul of the company:—ns Hamlet
said ofTorick, a gentleman “of .infinite jest,
of most excellent fancy.”
It would be a thrice-told tale to nay any
thing about the route to tho Washington junc
tion, —though neither time nor custom can
abate our admiration of tho Thomas viaduct
which wo' liad a glimpse ol: —it crosses the Pa
tapseo fiver, whoso winding course rye pur
sued, tho road running by its side through thp
ravine, and crossing tho river, by tho Pateraon
viaduct, soon after wo roaehed Elllcott’s
Mills Station—a Gibraltar-looking place, with
habitations, churches, and other buildings on
tho slopes of the hills, and the river sprawling
and brawling below, as it rushes over the
rocks.
On—on, lor if time and tide do not wait for
loiterers, neither doers the rapid and resonant
steam locomotivo. Onward—over iron
bridges, one at Ulysvillo, and another a little
beyond i light mid beautiful structures, yet
with great strength, The iron bridges on this
railroad deservo more extended nqtlco than
wo can give them hero. Thoy are carefully
constructed upon a now principle, by which
ample provision is made for tho contraction
and expansion of tho metal. At MgrlotUviile,
twenty-nine miles irom Baltimore, there is an
other of these iron bridges. Here, also, is ihe
first tunnel; 423 feet long, 24 feet wide, and
cut through solid mica slato rock. Tho main
portion of the road, hence to Harper’s Ferry,
is cut through tips pock.

This is chiefly constructed Of .Wood, in the
strongest manner, is 900 feet long, and o(in
sists of sis arches of about ljf feat span, ]ono
.of T 6 feet, and one,of fOO feet over the canal.
It forks off, at the western extremity, into
two, tho left-hand bridge leading to [the
Winchester and Potomac Railroad. This fork
Is built of iron, oxcopt the floor; The bfher
fork, to the right, continues the railroad. ' Tho
river Shenandoah meets the Potomac here.
Tho triumph oi engineering science is visi
ble at Harper’s Ferry. All tho land, for a
long way up, next the Potomac, Is occupied
by the United States’Armory bnlldings. It
wjts impossible to obtain any of this, forming,
as It does, the actual base of high hills which
tho waters of the Potomac gently lave as they
glide by. Tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company had to contJnpe their line-^litotally
(Mo make track/) this very place,
sod their engineer adopted the only mode ot
doing it. Uhls tyas to bflild n roat}, inofo

lightness and delicacy. However, it is re
markably strong, and fiilly answers all, the
purposes of Us construction.
Wo reached Harper’s Ferry about half-past
seven P. M., and immediately proceeded to
have a cursory vlety qf the scene ofJql|q
Brown’s mad actions. ■
Next morning we devoted a couple, of hours
to a enrrey of the wonders, natural and arti
ficial, of Harper’s Ferry. 4a tho National

Occupy the level land oh tho margin of the
river, the town of Harper’s Ferry is situated,
for the most part, on tho slopes of the high
hills at tho left, behind tho Armory. The most
prominent object, towering far above all other
building!, is tho somap patl'ollp pburcb.
Qthcr plqces pf worship occupy even yet
higher locations. Clambering np ihe steep
ascent, partly by rode stone-stops and partly
by an equally nido apology for a road, wa
reached the back of the hill, with the town on
the other side, and, from Jefferson's Rock,
have a view c f the Shenandoah, which, at no far
distance, mingles with tho Potomac. Some of
us cllmbedupon Jeflfcraon’s flock, which fa novf
placed 1 upon fonp wooden test?, resembling
elephant’s massive feet, and Is the very place,
It Is said, where Jefferson pronounced that the
view was worth a voyage across the Atlantic
to behold. Below, whore the bhenandoah
tumbles over rocks and boulders -which lie
upon its bed, there Is a rush of waters, while,
up tho river, the scone is remarkably placltf,
with a teuchof tho picturesque in tl(o distance,
the fjat rock if) now placed, it reminded us
of the cromlechs or drnidical tombs of Wales,
Ireland, and England.

gpntlfcmen oqr party are highly indebted for
information,') (a worth a long -journey on its
own account, even without the additional
oharms of peculiarly wild and beautiful soone
ry. Tho canal which snpplies the power
•by which the various mechanical engines
are here put into, motion, was under repair,
and consequently’ we did not see tho artifi
cers at work. But every thing was lully
aud clearly explained, and "if all of us, la
dles included, did not learn boy tho Mime fi
de is made, the fault cannot rest with Mr. Bar
bour and Mr. Ball, who so kindly answorod all
questions, and exhibited tho minulitf of all
the processes.
There wo saw the entire course of work,
whereby a flatpicco ol iron welded and drawn,
and rounded, and hollowed, and rified Into a
complete gun-barrel, is proved in the prool

walnut-tree stopk which been worked up
by other machinery and handiwork, with look
and othef completions, until It become a wea-
pon of war, which can readily kill at 1600 yards
distance!
As a matter «f course, we felt intense curio-
sity to bco thoplace which tho raid of John
Brown had. rendered memorable. Colonel
Chambers, Maypr of Harper’s Ferry, was so
good as to relate the incidents of that affair,
which tho public are familiar with--to show ns
tho position of the different parties—to point
out the ballet marks, which are by no means
few and far botween—and to tako us into the
itngino-boqso, ib wb,iob Brown confined his
prisoners, CM’r Ball, tho rnastor armorer,

with the advantage of a special train. Here,
too, we took up Mr. Alexander Diffoy, Super

Allow me, through tho'oalumns of The Press, to
express the feelings and sentiments of a majority
of the voters of this town and vicinity. Tho time
of meeting of tho Baltimore Convention is drawing
near, and the delegates will onoe more he oalled to
nominate o competent man for the Presidency, who
will lead the great and glorious Democratic party
on to vlotory. Tho man for that exalted position
is Judge Douglas, of Illinois. The names.of other
good Democrats will be presented to the Conven
tion—men who have been Democrat a ail their lives;
yet Judge Douglas has more claims to the Presi
dency than any other man in tho United States.
If nominated, (as I hope he will be), he will not
only receive the united votes of the Democratic
party, but of all QQQwryative men who have any
pride or honor about them. It is also neoessary to
nominate a man for Vice Prs3ldent,.aml no better
man than Alexander-H. Stephens, of Georgia,
could be selected for tbeV honorable position. He
Is a sound and c. nslsteni Demoorat, end capable of

eighty tons of clay, and had’ received a letter,,
stating that the day was on board a schooner, 5 and
oh Its way to the oily. Enclosed .was a bill of
lading. ’ Nettling more was heard of the schooner
or clay until within a few days ago, when ths de
fendant ifhlled upon tho prosecutor and informed
