Mr 11‘1111Irr M•MTIMILAr AAAAA 1111 ♦ND MOUNT CIIIIV.IML We passed the night on the 14th of A pril, in our tents, just outside the town of Jenin. Our dragoman had warned us of the thievish character of the people of this neighborhood, so that we had an eye to such of our property as was lying about while the tents were preparing. The Governor called, had coffee, and appointed four guards; so that we supposed ourselves safe front robbery. But in the morning the best mule was gone; and the four guards declared themselves wholly unable to say whey, how, and by whom, the ani. mid was let loose from its fastenings, and carried off. Our departure was delayed`; the Governor was sent for, end a pretend• ed. inquiry was made—a nd•this gave me opportunity to walk about for an hour af ter breakfast through the little town, through ea orange grove, w here every tree was white with blossoms, and up a neighbor ing. bill, whence I sew, to my surprise, a snowy mountain peak to the northeast-- This was the summit of Gebel Sheikh— the mountain which closes the nprth end of the valley of the Jordan, and then joins on to the ranges of Atitilibanuc Prom my , point of View I could see, too, the bestutt ful plain of Esdfaelon, which we were to traverse this day; and the hills (0, the neat?, which enclosed Nazareth, where we Wiped to sleep . this night; and ,to the west some tokens of the rise of a line of hills which we should soon see swelling into Mount Cannel, Where we were to go to morrow. 'Whit a prospect lay before both eye lOW tnind ! Our dragomen 'told ne we might make ourselves easy about , oar Mule. He hid no doubt it was in some stable die town. We' Should be 'asked to leave a . tranleiiiir behintivirtni — in'r - the an ma would be delivered to him, with '1 dintimd of a few piastres for the trouble or findin g the mule on the mountains. It is probable that matters' stood'eYae ly , 'se, ' for thif thule teer followed in two days' with the'beast i having paid fourteen piastreiftri , the trouble of finding , ~1 Thus tar we have travelled only awe% hills and valley* and to-daV welreartily enjoyed otir ride over the ric'h plain of ps draelon. It was fertile and floweryfroin end to end; and the young partridges ran under the very feet of my horse. Small birds flitted in multitudes on every side, and tall cranes stood among the high grass.— The Cannel range grew upon the sight, as we had expected ; and the blue hills of Galilee closed in the view northward.- l i Little Mount ilermon rose on our sight ; and on its north acclivity lay the village of Nair. rt. 'round hill, dropped over with ohl oaks, was Mount Tubor. Villages were well placed on such rising grounds as there were amid the plains ; and our track lay broad, and level, and green, a mong rows of tall artichokes and patches of rich cultivation. When about two-thirds of the way over we crossed the great caravan track from Egypt to. Damascus. We had been to E gypt, and we wore going to Damascus; From the Peoplo's Journal HOLY LAND. _ - - GF4TTYSBURG,, PA. FRIpAY,',E,VENV,P, X4:1011 A7L,1144fY ' " but we did not follow this track. We held on northward to the,Galilean hills. We entered among these hills about an bour before we reached Nazareth, winding up add dOwn, and around the base of one, and the shoulder of 'another, sometimes among seattered wood, semetiines over stony tracts, and always in sight of many goats. After mounting to a 'Very steep pass, and coining to a well,' and winding round a hill once more, we came suddenly insight of pretty Nazareth. Its basin of fertility is charming; its little plain, full of gardens and groves and fields, surrounded, as it seemed, completely The town is, in fact, a poor one; but built cif stone, and covering a good deal of ground, ' and extendinke little way_upiltaweetern apes/. Ifroolii iiillrrom above. Here, then, we n a il before our eyes the scenery amid which Jens grew hp. Its character cannot have changed very much since his day. A fertile basin among the everlasting hills, and the primitive little town which they protect, must bear much the same aspect from age to age. The great .additiOS is the ;convent end church of the Latin monks ; but these Wiling. do not stand out offensively to the eyq, but mingle well with the flat-roofed stone houses of the town. in this convent we had to take up our abode. We hinged to pitch our'tenta on the green below the town ; hut there Was apprehension of rain, and it was thought better to go Tinder the con. vent serif, Which is truly a hospitable one. I do not know what it is Aunt the ser vices of this church which is so affecting to strangers; but I observe that all travel lers speak of the strong emotions excited here. Few believe that the places under the church are what they are said to Few believe that the little eaves shown by the monks are the kitchen and sitting-room of the, parent . of Jesus ;. and , that the spots marked out by two granite pillows are those where Mary and the angel sto od at the time of the Annunciation. Ido not at all believe that these places were thus con secrated ; yet I. have seldom been so mo ved as I was this afternoon in tire Church of the Annunciation at Nazareth. We were at least in the place of residence of Jesus, and saw what he saw every day; the hollows of the valleys, the ontlinea of the hills, the streams in their coarses; and the wild flowers, which every where on the slopes spread under foot. We were in the place which he called home. En tering the church with these impressions on our minds, we were saluted with a chant from a full choir—a chant sonorous, swelling, and elect ; the best music, in comparably, that I heard abroad. It told upon our very hearts. Af course, we visited the rocky reeess es below the church, which are called the abode of Joseph and Mary; and saw no reason to suppose that, while citizen* of Nazareth, they lived in a grotto, rather than a !mere. We were shown, too, a por trait of Jesus, which the monks Relieve to hive been copied from an original, taken in his life time! As if there had been por trait painting of that kind in those days ! And as if the Jews would have considered it lawful, if there had ! Such ignorance on the part of the monks prevents our relying on any traditions given by them ; and I will therefore say nothing of the other pla ces pointed out as sacred by them. Naz areth itself is sacred enough ; and it is merely offensive to one's feelings to speak of some of the strange stories the monks telLimtl really believe,aboutlissus.and-his family, in exhibiting what they declare to be the scenes of his life and daily actions. The next day, the uppermost feeling throughout was of delight at the thought of the natural beauty amid which Jesus was reared. From the heights above the town wo looked down into dells full of verdure, and abroad over the rich plain we had crossed the day before, and over toward Carmel, where we were going to-day.— We rode among the hills for two 'hours, observing that clumps of feria& treat be came more frequent, and that the scenery was changing its character. And then we entered upon a tract which was so like the outakiris of an English nobledien'a perk, that I could hardly believe we were in the Holy Land. Rich grasses covered the slopes and levels, and clumps of ilex wood ed every , recess, We Wound along under these elemlni.eett Along llfbiglaclee of, the scattered forest, and, upon:broken, hanks, and then again through, reaches ed shade, 49§ . 11114, ecritlileye heliethink ! iug, at every, step, who hid onenbeea, here before us, Wo were almost sorry,to leave these park-like"hillsthough we were, descend tng into the pl i ttin of Zektulpn.. and.Cartrial was before us, and we wereibilut to orofs the old riverKislion. which Elijahlimel so well wlisip ke lived : in this rfginn, .an 0 0 blue sea was in aigltir-tillit whit* Zlijak's servant saw ttm ck"u 4 gisii , wltich was no bigger,than a mai* hind. , We. rode, a, the foot: ef .

(1 Kings, xvni.)— Ilere stood his four hundred and fifty prophets in all their pomp. Next wo ascended the mountain itself ; and we spent two nights in the convent on its heights ; so that the whole scene is well impressed on my memory. We wont down the mountain side that afternoon, to see the caves w here the schools of the prophets u-' sed to be, where the young men were ga thered together to learn what was known of religion, and to prepare themselves fur iTEARtkes AM) pßzt.. its adminisiration, Whether th o princi pal cave was :Milli ths oFcnimil or not, some use was Certainlir made put in'an eient times.

If there was any Way to keep the thing out of sight it would be, best for you to throw the treaty into the fire as soon as you get it, and send word on to Gineral Scott to go a head agaia. But that is impossible ; it will he spread ever the country and known' to every body. And I'm convinced it will be the best way for you to turn right about, make out to be glad of what can't be help: j ed, mid accept the treaty. The nomina tions for President is close at hand, and'. You'inust get ready to go into the election for your second term on what you've got, mid make the bast show you can with it. If yen should reject the treaty, the oppogi lion Woidd get the advantage of you again ; they would cry out that the Mexicans had asked for peace and you had rtfusert it ; Bad there would be no end to their growl: ing•about this oppressive war of invasion. But if you accept the treaty, it puts an end to their grumbling/about the war. r,) pacify our friends that are very eager for the whole of Mexico, you must tell 'ein to leek out and see how much we have al ready got; keep telling of 'ein that half a loaf is better than no bread ; tell 'em to keep quiet till after your 'next election is over, and may be you'll contrive some plan to he cutting into 'tether half. Keep Mr. Ritchie blowing the organ, all weath ers, to the tune of Italia Mexico for a song.

Pin satisfied this is the best ground to take; we mast go for the treaty. and, bitter pill as it is, we must Swallow it as though we loved it. I apse it will have to go before the Senate, as the constitution now stands, (the constitution is very detective on that pint, and ought to be mended, fur it's dan gerous trusting important matters to• the Senate ;) but you must drive your friends, all up to vote for it ; don't let it fail on not account ; do n 't let 'cut go to tingerin it '!ll')+9:y!,, •11,1 9..1' ,to4lrtig,tit. •,,:!, • i„t,a i i,•~v~~„ ~~. ~', , T`gl'o, ~O~ ; t~A,gq~ PSR .
