Worrespondeuee of The . Press.) WEST CHESTER, July 29, 1865. On the morning of the :.4th instant, leaving the ancient and historical town of Wilkes barre, I set out for 'ranch Chunk, by way of White Haven. The railroad connecting these towns is the Lehigh and Susquehanna, and vas designed by its originators as a means of transferring boats from the North Branch Canal to that in the Lehigh Valley. This pro ject, hoWever, was never realized. The road has been completed within a few years past, and is used chiefly for the freighting of coal. A direct route from Philadelphia to the IV3-o -2fliag Valley and the Lackawanna coal region is offered by this road, ;,but the passenger trallic is not very extensive as yet. The rail road, in leaving the Susquehanna, first ascends the mOrintain east of Williesbarre by means of three inclined planes. Within a distance of five miles au ascent of eleven hundred feet is made, and the top of the mountain being thus gained, the road descends upon the other side by heavy grades. To the unaccustomed tra veller these planes are often a matter of dread, but - the ascent - is quickly as well as safely =de. we left the depot at Wilkesbarre with one passenger car, and in a few minutes had ar rived at the foot of the first plane. Here the locomotive left us, and a " safety ear," trailing, a heavy wire rope, Mine down to bring US up. A safety earls simply a small truck,with ratchets on the axles and a catch playing thereon. If the motion of the car ceases for any reason, the ratchets instantly lock the wheels. But there is also n hearsiP bar of iron extending from the rear of the ear, and so contrived that, if the ear stops on the ascent, this bar at once falls down, and the end entering the ground, holds the car securely. The safety car came Tattling down on the same track on which we were standing, passed under our car by means of a depression and a narrow track, and then was drawn up against the rear of the passen ger ear. I=l A signal to the engineer at the top of the plane assured him that we were ready, and in a moment the rope tightened and we begankto ascend. These planes are not so steep as to - be - unpleasant; yet the thought of being pulled tip a hill by a cable which may possibly break, gives the novice a peculiar sensation, not un mixed with a desire to be past the danger. The rope, made of fine wire, plays upon rollers placed on the ties at suitable distances, and at the top is wound around a huge drum, from which it is uncoiled by-the ear next descending. A. huge stationary engine affords the motive power. A second and a third plane Of similar construction, brought us to the top of this spur of the Blue Mountains. MEZEi2 view of a part of the Wyoming Valley was afforded to us. The placid Susquehanna, with the town Of Wilkesbarre, was in sight, and between our high position and the atm- Ilashing river mist and clouds were sus• vended. The cultivated farms of the valley mid the distant Alleghenies completed the view. Having passed the plains, we found a station in the wilderness, and an engine and two ears waiting to carry us on our way. The road, until we reach the headwaters of the Lehigh, is of &down grade, and built through an unimproved region. The mountain scenery is very beautiful, but the prospect, both far and near, is of a rugged and uncultivated country. A few shanties of laborers on the railroad alone enlivened the forests and swamps of scrub pine. At one or two places, however, I noticed that at some time a clear ing had been made and fences erected, and, perhaps, the remains of a log-cabin were visible. But these were deserted by every body at present. Like Tennyson's deserted house, "life and thought have gone away," --_and have evidently left the "doors and win dap But we soon came into the Lehigh Valley, about twenty_ milei from Wilkesbarre. The Itetulwaters of the Lehigh furnish some most desolate and decaying yet highlypicturesque scenery. The swamps pools Stand in Utter solitude, and are of a shiny and black appearance, either from the coal deposits or the decaying vegetable matter. Huge pines, bare and blasted, stand submerged, er have fallen, and lie with skeleton arms out stretched. Looking upon these scenes I could realize the appearance of the land in what ge ology terms the carboniferous age. Could these wilds remain, it is not unlikely that after generations might in some distant age use the coal formed inthese very swamps. The wither ed and dead pines have a mournful, rather sad dening look ; and I was glad when webeganto follOw the course of the Lehigh—here a quite insignificant stream in appearance. We soon reached White Haven, twenty miles from the Susquehanna, and the terminus of the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad. This is a town of some note in the lumbering busi ness. It is a borough, and has, I. suppose, a population of two thousand. Near the town, on the Lehigh, is the station called "Tan nery," so named from the 'very large tannery here in operation. It is owned by Smull Sons, and more than seventy thousand hides are tanned yearly. Taking here the Penn Haven and White Maven Railroad, I was soon on my way to Mauch Chunk, following the river bank, and enjoying the most magnificent scenery. The stream is quite narrow; and is hemmed in by mountains, which oiler many beautiful little views as the train winds down along the bank. Passing Rockport and other unimportant - places, we reached Penn Haven, seventeen miles from White Haven, and eight miles above Mauch Chunk. At many places on this ride the evidences yet remained of the great freshet a few years since. .All the locks and dams of the Canal Company . are still in ruins, and - will so remain, as the railroad is 110 W used for all kinds of transportation. The canal will not be ag ain used above Penn Haven. Much of the damage to property in the towns along the Lehigh is attributed to the great number of dams, all of which burst ing, sent a perfect flood of water down the 'valley. Penn Haven is at the junction of the Qua- Rake creek and the Lehigh, and is the snip ping point of the coal from the neighborhoods of Hazle creek and Beaver Meadow. The coal ears descend to boats by inclined-planes from the hill on the mountain tops, and by a highly economical arrangement the loaded car de scending draws an empty car to the top of the plane—a rope Connecting the two and being passed over a wheel at the top. FROM PENN RAVEN TO MirCH OFIUNfi. The ride froth Penn Haven to Mauch Chunk was beyond expression magnificent. The river winds through between high and steep moun tains, with many a sudden change of direc tion, and the railway follows the bank closely. The hill opposite me was a mass of verdure, and bathed in sunlight—the shadow of a jutting ridge or a 'naked rock varying the scene. Below was the river, smooth and tran quil, but inky black, as usual. From its sur face the opposite bank was beautifully reflect ed, with every tint of green and sunlight, and gray rock, as perfectly drawn as in the original. Ido not think I hive ever enjoyed so rich a view as this. Passing through numerous gaps in the ridges we obtain everywhere new and beautiful views of the changing scenery, until at length we dismount at Mauch Chunk, the deentral point of the Lehigh coal basin. This town is eighty-nine miles from Phi la rielphia, and is the seat of justice of. Carbon County. The population is between three and four thousand. There are manufactories of importance in the town, such as foundries and forgci, wire-rope factories, and machine shops. Here, too; are the machine shops of the Le high Valley Railroad, and the Lehigh Canal oral Navigation Company. The town lies in a Contracted spot, hemmed in by mountains a - thousand feet high. There is a dam here, in the river, and below the dam a beautiful - iron bridge. Having strolled through the town to find a professor of the tonsorial art, I returned to the Mansion House to take mine ease for an your, before starting for Summit Hill and the mines, which every visitor here should not fail to see. Taking a seat in a covered wagen, we passed iii the courthouse and Judge Pukels resi dence—the only notable one in town—to the top of the bill, near the river, where we saw the cars laden with coal, running by inclined planes down to the boats. A few minutes brought us to the foot of the inclined plane up mount Pisgah. The elevation reached by the plane is nine hundred feet above the level Of the river, and it *looks, at first sight, like a very strange place to travel up in cars. Seve ral very small cars, built like a carriage, were there, and this we soon found to be the train for Summit Hill. Taking a seat, the ascent was soon begun. As we went up, the view of the town beneath us, and the mountain ridges lying far beyond, became very grand. In the 'distance was the Lehigh Water Gap standing clear against the sky. The view is considered extremely tine by practised travellers. THE ME - MED PLANE AT MAUCH 011trliE. Reaching the head of the plane, our little train started off alone, gravity only being the motive power, and carried us soon to a second plane. As we were whirled along, the novelty of the ride added to the pleasure, and we had frequent views of Site scenery lying far below us. Soon we were drawn up the second plane, mid very quietly arrived at Summit Rill, nine ,milerafrOm Mauch Chunk. ThIS point is the highest of Mount Pisgah, and near it lie very .extensive collieries. Quite a village has grown sip here, consisting Of several hundred inhabi tants, with several hotels and other business 1), htees. • From this town there is a circuitous TailrOad, similar to the one we liad already traversed, passing nearthe mines, and return ing again to Summit Rill. Getting on this as ' before, we passed around the princtpal conte nds, being drawn up several planes on the way, and in about an hour were back at the 401im These roads are for the purpose of transporting coal to the Lehigh by gravity, and returning the empty Caro by the same means to the mines. The engineering dis played on the road is of a high character, and the scenery grand at every point. At Sunimit . Hill was a party of Philadelphians, about fif teen in number, some of whom were a commit tee of councils to inspect the Girard coal lands. They were evident/5- enjoying life, and in good spirits -under the pressure of their ardu ous duties. Hating made with 113 the circuit of the mines, they came to Mauch Chunk that evening; on the road to Philadelphia. From Mauch Chunk I took the Lehigh Valley Road for Allentown, twenty-seven miles dig. tent. Passing by Lehighton and Lehigh Gap, I stopped at Slatington to inspect the exten sive slate quarries and factories in that village. Slatington numbers six hundred inhabitants, and has-been recently incorporated as a bo rough. The slate works are the most exten sive in the country, and, perhaps, in the world. Taking tile next down train I was quickly whirled past Rockdale, White Hall, and other unimportant stations. Soon we arrived at Elo. kencl ague, a town of two thousand inhabitants, and having the most extensive iron works in the United States. A mile below is Catasagna, likewise heavily engaged in the iron trade, a town of three thousand inhabitants. Four miles below is Allentown, one of the largest and most growing towns in Eastern Pennsylvania. The population is 12,000, and the place has the activity of a city. Iron is the chief object of business, the works being very extensive and profitable. There are, however, two large tanneries, paint works, foundries, &c., &c. I understand that con siderable New York capital is invested here. The town is near the Lehigh, at its junction with the Jordan creek and Little Lehigh, and is built on highly elevated ground. From Al lentown I rode out to look at the iron bridge on the Fogelsville Railroad. This piece of architecture is well worth a visit. It is built of light iron girders, is 1,100 feet long, and ninety feet high. It seems to the spectator a frail anti light structure, but the heaviest trains Of iron ore do not jar it in passing. Leaving Allentown, I passed over to Reading, through a magnificent farming country, and thence to Philadelphia. IMMEEI3I Having concluded my peregrinations, I think can assure any one disposed to see the richest portion of his native State, that he will find it, combined with the most magnificent scenery, in tbe route which I followed, viz: through Easton, Belvidere, Water Gap, Scranton, Pitts ton, Kingston, Wilkesbarre, White Haven, Mauch Chunk, Slatington, Allentown, and Bethlehem. Or if the traveller wishes, let him visit Bethlehem flrgt, and then return through Allentown and Heading. He will thus see the rich Lehigh Valley, with its treasure of coal, iron, zinc, slate, paint, ticc., and the Lacka wanna, and Wyoming coal fields, with the fast growing cities that are springing up through this part of Pennsylvania. E. B. G. A Philadelptilan'm Trip to the Green ➢lonntsins—No. 1. CSPechil Correbpondenee of The Press.] BOSTON, August 4, 1505 It is a common saying, that " the people ek Buffalo never go to Niagara," and just so your correspondent, who has never visited Cape May or a dozen other summer resorts within a few miles of Philadelphia, must needs seek fresh breezes in the more distant mountains of Vermont. Why he is going there, and thus slights the modern "Baize" nearer home, his readers will not be at a loss to judge, when they hear what lie will have to tell them of his trips among the Verdure•clad peaks, which make up the Green Mountains. First, he thought, he must have a party, and many were the suggestions, therefore, that he made as to summer travel and its delights, and broad were the hints he dropped that a trip to Stowe, the headquarters of visitors to the mountains, would prove agreeable. But his ditheulties were great. Many stared at the name, and wanted to know where in the world Stowe was; others "would be most happy, but they always went to the sea-shore ;" while others yet laughed to open scorn the idea of travelling a thousand miles "to see only Penn sylvania hills in the end." But we knew better; and our perseverance was at length crowned with success. By agreeing to a compromise, that the trip should he by way of Boston, a party was at length made, and off we came for a month's sojourn among the " Yanks." The ride to New York was far from pleasant. The day was hot and dusty, and the ears un comfortable. In spite of all adverse circumstances, we finally reached the " Norwich boat," for Bos ton, preferring an inside route that avoids Point Judith, sea sickness often occurring to passengers by the outside trip. By it to New Loudon, and by rail through Norwich and Woreester, we finally reached Boston by about half-past five A. M. of the next day. By nine o'clock we were ready to see the sights in and around "the Common," which, if to Bosto nians the city is the "hub of creation," is cer tainly the centre thereof. Well may Boston boast itself of the te..crittinort ;" the " one of the most beautiful shaded walks that landscape gardener ever laid out; the many other paths, leading everywhence and every whither; the "Nish Pond," in the centre, with its most elaborate fountain ; and, by no Means a Small matter, and possible only in the "land of Steady habits"—the charm ing beds of natural flowers, which edge the grass-plats, and whose blossoms never suffer from the ruthless vandalism which elsewhere would certainly make a desert of any such pub lic garden ; all these things conspire to make Boston Common a spot justly valruid. Passing beyond the common we enter the Public Gar den, newer, but probably destined to become more beautiful than the common. This gar den, we believe—certainly it is so with the land just beyond—is on made ground, reclaim ed 'from the water by driving piles and filling with earth. The most elegant and now most fashionable part of Boston, which lies just be yond the Public Garden, is all built on such ground; and in many places streets opened only a certain distance, as far as the ground is firmly established, have signs placed at their entrance, "Private Way, Dangerous." The "old families," who formerly lived in the older end of Beacon street, are rapidly push ing towards its extension, or to new streets in this part - of the city. One of the places near Boston most worthy of a visit is its cemetery—Mount Auburn. Here., were it not for the Puritanism which places an unsightly board, eight or ten feet square, immediately in front of the gateway , that visitors may read and know certainly the rules—Boston would not be itself, if every place had not its rules—and for the many ab surd monuments which wealth and pride have erected without taste, one could find a model for any cemetery; so charming, both naturally and artificially, are the long, winding roads, the less pretending, but more lovely foot paths, and the many quiet nooks and corners, in Which love may raise a tasteful memorial to the loved ones gone. One thing, however, we noted painfully, both here and in the "Common."-- We mean the pedantry which Posts on every tree its Latin botanical name and its translation,* SO that you will see a tin sign, about six inches square, with " Maus Americana, American Elm," painted on it. In our judgment, this thwarts the very object for which trees are placed in such spots, viz.: to set forth Nature before eyes to which For tune denies the greater pleasure of seeing her in her Own domains. How truly Cowper wrote : God made the country, but man made the town." 1: , ; - en when man attempts to make a little country in the town, he makes it wear a town expi•ession. We must not forget the Music Hall and the Great Organ, Wc attended two Organ Concerts at the Music Hall, and heard Madame Prohock and Mr. Thayer play. Mr. Lang, too, played though hut a single piece. This trio certainly represents fairly the organ playing of Boston, and yet, even under such hands, the Great Organ far disappointed our expectations. We -;vent to Boston all prepossessed in favor of the organ, except as to its adaptability to tuning, but we were by no means pleased. The solo stops are, many of them at least, very fine but the heavier combinations are indistinct, until, when the whole organ speaks, the tone is lost in the volume of the sounds which rush discordantly across each other. The mecha nism is not sufficient to make the organ speak clearly, and_the result is confusion. In one passage, where a pedal note was held under some heavy chords, the din was terrible, and it was certainly naught else but din; Boston taste, too, has been perverted, it BeCIMAUg to be the only aim of the Boston organists to be great executants, all expression being given up to an insane desire to perform great gym nastic feats on the pedals. We have yet to learn that, as an organist advances in me chanical skill in playing, the more nearly he reaches the RIM of a musician. Does great abilityin organ gymnastics eonatitute the high - ea. order of musical talent 7 Mr. Thayer was soulless when he played one of nossines sweetest airs from "William Tell," but ex ecuted a Soceata and a Fugue from Bach mag nificently. To be sure, he used reed stops in The fugue, which is contrary to the befit taste, but his execution was faultless. Yet, when this same gentleman attempted to write a sonata—he played his "No. 1" at the concert— he made a perfect absurdity of it, rush ingeaabsswiltahage, i full , :)rgan and inconceivably hard p in medic' r es," and then toning down to an air which we are sure WM - lii would clair . n as his own, could he bear it. Po pular taste condemns this affectation of great executive talent ; for, while silence, dead as that of the grave, followed the Soccata and the Fugue, rapturous applause encored the morecaux from the masters, which he Conde* scended to play. for us. Philadelphia may be proud of her organs and organists, were there only more of both—for her players, while they lack the executive skill of the Boston players, o e u a i ,) u s si _c m of o for they will not waste tune in attaining it, certainly excel in interpreting th expression. The Philadelphia rg mean those built by Our own buim.rd—have a voicing which even the Hooks, of IloAea, eau not give their pipes. The famous " VON. Hu mana" in the Great Organ, ihough a very beau tiful stop, is no more like the human voice than it is like the voice of a bird ; and it is so great a misnomer, that, on hearing it for the first time, one is inclined to laugh at the idea that that stop is meant in faith to imitate the human voice.

Florence Heights. [Special Corresoondettee of The Press.] FLOMMNOE HEIGHTS, August 8,1865. You find it not named in Lippincott's Gazetteer, but, let me assure you, M. Editor, that Flo rence Heights is as pretty and pleasant a place as any upon our noble Delaware, and a hun dred times more beautiful and agreeable than nine tenths of the puffed-up " watering-places" in this State. There is fresh air, and there is a charming panorama of lovely scenery, turn where you may, with the river rolling rapidly below. Any amount of boating, any quantity of fish to be had for the trouble of catching, good bathing, a pleasant country around, and, in the hotel, which is not crushingly filled, a variety of agreeable society, largely from Phi ladelphia, including, of course, a full supply Of the "fair women and brave men;” so touch ingly spoken of by Byron, We do not dress here nine times a day—though, letme tell you, sir, that we can make a killing toilette, and; perhaps, we do, whenever occasion—which means our fancy—requires it. Florence Heights can be reached byboatand railway several times each day. The nearness of theplace to Philadelphia is exceedingly in its favor. Phe hotel is kept by a buxom Eng lishman, (Major Simkins, of the Wetherill House, Philadelphia,) who has a very pretty idea of what good fare ought to be, in a place where, somehow, I always am hungry When I sit down to table—not so when I leave it. We have a variety of amusements here, which I need not describe. Come up and see them, sir, and leave pen, ink, and horrid newspapers alone for one little week. In weather like this (we are seventy-six in the shade when you are ninety:five in Philadelphia!) who cares for polities, I should like to know?

Alderman Butler held the billy in $1,500, and the brick in $l,OOO to answer. Edward Oliver keeps a small booth in the vicinity of (lop Cadwalader, and a soldier testified yestdirlay that he was enticed therein by Anthony Duplee and George Lees. He took two drinks, and after that becoming un conscious, was robbed of $2O. Oliver was held in 414000, and his confederates in *6OO each to answer. [Before Mr. Alderman Tittermary.) CAPTURE OF - FEMALE THIEVES. Julia Clark and Sarah Crawford were com mitted yesterday, by Alderman Tittermary, to answer the charge of baring in their posses sion a lot of sheets towels, Ite., that they could not account for. The articles were marked C. IV. Thomas and H. C. Weanie. Some time between Saturday night and yes terday morning a safe was taken from the counting-house of Mark Mason, near the Ca thedral Cemetery, conveyed about one bun_ dred•yards from the premises, and blown open, with gunpowder. About $42.50 in money, and all the books, were carried off. The entrance to the °dice was effected by prying open the window shutter with a piece of pale-fence. This fact, together with the carrying off of the books = shows that the thieves arre not au fait In their business. The same gang have been operating about Paschalville and Seller's Mills in the same manner. Quarter Sessions—Hon. Jas. B. Ludlow, The August sessions of the criminal Court, which will probably present an unusually heavy calendar, began yesterday. The Gran in Jury attendance having been sworn or af firmed, S. A. Colwell, Esq., was appointed fore man. Judge Ludlow thenproceeded to charge them at considerable length, refering to the origin and antiquity of the trial by jury ; and how its benefits have been preserved to us; the method by which a jury is selected; the time they are to serve ; the place where they appear, etc.; and he enlarged especially upon the particular office and duties of the Grand Jury. He also said that the prison was filled with parties awaiting trial upon various charges; many of them of an aggravated cha racter ; that it was at all times, butparticu larly at the present time,. important that the administration of criminal law should be prompt and vigorous upon the part of the of ficers of justice. He had consulted with his colleagues upon the bench, and they had de termined to render effective the verdict of the jury in imposing sentence to the extent of the law upon criminals who shall have been con victed. The commission of crime must be checked; and officers of the law would be sus tained in their efforts to make midnight ar rests of burglars and robbers, even though it be at the cost of life. In alluding to and commenting upon the principle of trial by jury, Judge Ludlow quot ed a paragraph from Blackstone, as follows : "It is, therefore, upon the whole a duty which every man owes to his country, his friends, his posterity, and. himself, to main tain to the utmost of his OWer the valuable Constitution, in all its rights; to restore to it its ancient dignity * * * to amend it when ever it is defective ; and, above all, to guard with the most zealous circumspection against the introduction of new and arbitrary me thods of trial, which, under a variety of plau sible pretences mayin time imperceptibly un dermine this best preservative of English liberty." The Grand - Jury having retired, the court, after hearing the excuses of such of the petit jury as for various reasons did not desire to serve, adjourned till Saturday, Jury trials will begin next -Monday. A COOL Taxn.r.- ORNADIRxr , r.—A London lady Corresponding with her country cousin, through the medium of the press, mentions a novel, beautiful, andiwithal, inexpensive orna ment for the dinner table. She says: " Talk ing dinners, let me tell you of a now idea. I was present at a very recherche entertainment the other day, where I saw the following ar rangement for the table: There was a large square block of Wenham Lake ice, weighing, I should say, at least twenty-five pounds, which was placed on glass castors, in a dish or trough . , of some kind; the dish was rendered quite in visible by being entirely filled with moss, into which soaked the water which melted from the ice. Delicate ferns fringed the edge, and bright-colored flowers were embedded in the moss, the foliage reaching above the lower edge of the ice. he object of raising the block on castors is to prevent the water from accele rating the melting of the mass. Over the ice berg there were two arches prettily aranged, crossing each other; they were, apparently, of cane, and were bound round by garlands of flowers. The effect- was enchanting. The at mosphere was delightfully cooled; the flowers were kept fresh ; and the sight of this translu cent mass was far prettier than the most cost ly centre pieces Of gold or silver plate. I be lieve I am right in Stating that this novel idea first made its appearance at Orleans House, Twickeeham. It can be so readily adopted that I felt you woulclebe glad orthe sugges tion."
