ITaving left the Allojrhany Jlountains
for a brief f-cason, and come '"all the way
down to the Slate of Maine," partly tut
business and partly for pleasure, I Lave
thought that a few rough note9 taken on
the way, might be done; up ia the shape
of a letter, which, as a whole, would not
prove inacccptable to the readers of The
Alieghcnian.
Leaving Ebensburg on the evening of
Thursdiy, the 30th. of January, I took
passage in the 9 o'clock train at Cresscn,
and arrived at Ilarrisburg about 3 o'clock
the next morning. "When I left home I
had intended stopping there for a day or
two, in order that I might enjoy the lux
ury if such it may be called of looking
in upon the Solons there assembled, and
witnessing the modus operandi of making
and unmaking laws for the people of the
Old Keystone State. But for reasons,
which it would be superfluous to detail, I
concluded to abandon this idea, and con
tinued my journey. Keeping my berth,
therefore, for I had taken advantage of
that great invention of modern times, and
good friend to the wearied traveler,
namely, the Sleeping Car, I once more
resigned myself to the tender embraces of
Morpheus, determined that, unless some
thing unusual turned up, I would not
again set foot on terra Jlrma until I reach
ed the Quaker. City.
Providence taking care of the train in
which I bad secured a passage, the Iron
Horse towed us 6afely to Philadelphia, at
which place we arrived about nine o'clock
on the morning of Friday, the 31st.
Though I had slept soundly a part of the
way, yet I must confess to have been a
member ot the "wide awates," over a
portion of the road, and was, therefore,
but indifferently refreshed on my arrival
in the city. But I was compelled to
ehake off every vestige of drowsiness, in
order that I might the better devote my
eelf to some matters of business requiring
my attention. After transacting some
important business with John Edgar
Thompson, the President of the Pennsyl
vania K. P., it became necessary for me
to return to Altoona, which I did on the
following night, returning again to Phil
adelphia on Saturday night, having rid
den three nights in succession, and, as
would generally be supposed, pretty well
used up. Resting over the Sabbath in
Philadelphia, and reposing my wearied
limbs upon a soft and downy bed, for one
night, I was so rested and refreshed that,
on Monday morning, I was ready to pur
sue my business with as much energy as
though I had enjoyed a good night's
6leep every night of the previous week.
Everything considered, the streets exhib
ited a much more busy aspect than I had
anticipated, and during my intercourse
with a number of mercantile gentlemen,
I learned that the amount of jobbing, d'C,
being done, was rather in advance of their
expectations. Still the place seems dull
to any one who has visited it during the
"piping times cf peace."
Philadelphia is a great city, and is
justly a source of pride, not only to its
inhabitants, but to every Pennsylvania?!.
Of coarse many of my readers hs-.ve been
there, but. again, many of them have not
enjoyed that pleasure. Bid time and
fpaec permit, I would attempt a lengthy
description of it for the benefit of the lat
ter class ; but under the circumstances, I
must put them off with a few brief geuer-
The eity is beautifully situoted between
the Schuylkill and )elaarc rivers, about
six miles above their confluence. Though
more than a hundred milts from the
ocean, yet by the m-rr and bay, it is ac
cessible to ships of the line, and enjoys a
varied tsiif most extensive commerce-.
Its fetretts are broad ai.d vol! paved, and
being laid out at riuht rr.-l: ?, it presents
a uniformity, of wh:ch ti e utlu-r L-re i
ties cannot boast, it. contains many ery
handsome private dvHisigs, built mo.-tly
of brick, though n t a lew of them of
Lrown lito'io, p.rardte and mniblc. Its
ptbh'c ei:Cv are d-j-i- f th. greatest
interest. Independence Hall, associated
with so many glorious memories; the
Custom House, originally used for the
United States Bank that so-called mon
ster throttled by Jackson ; the Merchant's
Exchange, fitly styled the prototype of
the great Monument at Athens; Gi
rard College, liberally endowed by its
founder for the education of poor orphan
children ; the United States Mint, distin
guished as the branch that was not plun
dered by secessionists and rebels; the
magnitieent Continental Hotel, -with its
'one thousand and one" guests ; the
House of lieluge, for the correction and
reformation of bad boys and bad girls ;
;nd the gloomy Eastern State Peniten
tial v, for the punishment of the older and
more hardened wrong-doers ; cither of
these establishments will well repay a
visit. Nor must I omit to mention the
institutions of art, literature, science, re
ligion, charity and benevolence, for all
of which the city is co justly celebrated,
embracing the Academy of Fine Arts ;
a variety of High Schools and other sem
inaries of learning; the Jefferson Medi
cal College ; the University ; numerous
church edifices ; the Pcua Widow's Asy
lum ; the Northern Home for Friendless
Children; and the institutions for the in
struction of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind.
Philadelphia is also remarkable for the
cleanliness of it3 streets and side-walks,
and the number of beautiful parks which
it contains, some of which are well stock
ed with" deer and squirrels. But, per
haps, its most attractive feature is the
Fairmount "Water Works, by which it is
supplied with an abundance of pure and
wholesome water from the Schuylkill riv
er. I will add, too, before closing this
imperfect sketch of Philadelphia, that in
the variety and extent of its manufac
tures, it is generally regarded as the first
city in the Union.
From Philadelphia I proceeded by rail
road to NeT York. Here, also, I had
some business matters to attend to, which
being done, I took a stroll about the city.
Though I have been in New York fre
quently, yet never before did I fully ap
preciate the magnitude or importance of
that niitr'atv metropolis. Situated on the
island of Manhattan, at the junction of
the Hudson and East rivers, and about
sixteen miles from the great Atlantic, it
stands as the acknowledged emporium of
this great "Western "World. There is,
perhaps, no city on the face of the globe,
possessing greater advantages for purpo
ses of internal as well a3 external trade
and commerce. Here you will find mer
chants and dealers hailing from all quar
ters Secessia just now excepted who
have always a sure market in which to
sell what they have got, and to buy what
they need. Here it is, that persou3 as
semble on the point of departure from al
most every part of the world. Here you
will meet with Englishmen, Frenchmen,
Spaniards, Austrians, Germans, Italians,
Russians, Jews, Turks, Chinese, Africans,
&c., until you are almost led to doubt that
you are really in an American city.
Here you will see the princely dwelling,
and the miserable hut, and wealth and
affluence, and squalid poverty, and the
lowest degradation. Here everything
seems to be in motion. Old things all
being torn down, and new thiys put
up. All is noise, bustle and confusion,
and as Fanny Fern would say, everybody
seems to be taking care of number one.
The great street in New York is Broad
way. It passes through the city from
North to South, and is the resort of the
beauty and fashion of the place. The
buildings are principally of brick, but
many are of marble and stone, presenting
the most elegant appearance. Among
the public structures, which arc numerous
and imposing, I will mention the Univer
sity, the Merchant's Exchange, the Cus
tom House, Hall of Records, Trinity
Church, Astor House, and the St. Nicho
las and Metropolitan Hotels. The Cro
ton "Water Works, by means of which the
J city is supplied with an abundance of good
pure water, arc among the works of the
age. They cost many millions of dollars,
and will long stand as a monument of the
liberality and wisdomof the "citizens of
the place.
From New York I proceeded by rail
road to Boston. This place sometimes
called the "modern Athens," is remark -
1 al.e lor the ceueral intelligence and
shrewdness of its people, and is emphati
cally a scat of literature. Situated on a
I small peninsula in Massachusetts bay, it
l lias also an excellent harbor, and enjoys a
I very extensive commerce. In it are many
j elegant public buildings, and a correspon
' diug number of humane and charitable
j institutions. The capitol of Massachu-
elevated ground, and was erected in 1795,
its corner-stone being laid by the venera
ble and patriotic Samuel Adams, then
chief Magistrate of the State. The view
from its top is magnificent perhaps noth
ing cou!d surpass it. Among the other
noble edifices of the place, are the Massa
chusetts General Hospital, one of the fi
nest buildings in the country, and Fan
ueil Hall, so often filled with the eloquence
of Webster, Everett, Choate, Sumner,
acd other distinguished orators. Anoth
er great point of attraction is Boston Com
mon. It has an area of about seventy
five acres, and is beautifully ornamented
with trees, shrubs, flowers, &c, and is a
most delighttul place of rcscrfc in warm
weather. Among the other notabilities
is the gre.it Elm tree, measuring over a
hundred feet across its top boughs.
Though many years old, it still stands
proudly erect, marking the x spot where
Washington stood, at a most critical peri
od of the revolution, giving orders to his
men, one of whom, by the way, was the
"randfather of the writer. Boston and
its vicinity were indeed the theater of
many stirring incidents, in that great
struggle lor Constitutional liberty. In
its harbor, it will be remembered, the
British tea was thrown overboard, and
thus defiance was bid to the regal mon
ster who wished to oppress our people.
The city itself was occupied in 177G, by
over ten thousand red-coats, under Gener
als Gage and Howe ; but they were com
pelled to evacuate the place, by the supe
rior generalship of Washington, who took
possession of Dorchester Height?, and was
thus enabled to command both the har
bor, and the city. Another interesting
object in the vicinity of Boston is the
Bunker Hill Monument, at Charleston,
situated ou Breed's II ill, in commemo
ration of that most bloody and important
battl?, which took place on the same
"round, during the Revolution. It is
220 feet high, -10 feet square at the base,
15 feet at the top, and is built of Quin
cy granite. In it are spiral stairs, ascen
ding the whole height. Its corner-stone
wa-J laid in the presence of the illustrious
Lafayette, on the 17th of June, 1825
just fifty years after the great battle was
fought.
But I must hasten on. Leaving Bos
ton, I took passage on- the Boston and
Maine Railroad to Portland, and arrived
in this latter place on Yvednesday, the
5th inst. Portland is one of the princi
pal towns in the State of Maine, having a
population of about 30,000. It is beauti
fully situated on a small peninsula in Ca6
co Bay, and has probably one of the finest
seaboards in the world. It is largely en
gaged in commerce and the fisheries, and
is well laid out. It contains a great many
very handsome buildings. From Port
land, I came, by way of the Graud Trunk
Railway, a distance of about 40 iniles, to
Paris, the county-seat of Oxford county.
Pans is a flourishing village, and is the
birthplace of Hannibal Hamlin, the pres
ent Vice President of the United States.
From Paris, I proceeded by private con
veyance, a distance of about 20 mile3, to
Lovell, where I arrived, safe and sound,
on Thursday, the (ith.
Sinee I came here, I have enjoyed the
rare pleasure of taking by the hand, a
great many old friends and acquaintances.
Everywhere I have met with the utmost
cordiality, and surely, this ought to make
the place dear to me, especially when I
remember that here is my old home.
And yet I am not contented here now.
During the seven or eight years that I
have resided in Cambria, a great change
has come over this place ; and while many
things seem natural to me, many, again,
seem quite unnatural. Like me, many
persons have sought homes elsewhere ;
many, again, have died and gone to their
reward ; many, who were children when
I left, have grown to- manhood ; and on
every hand I encounter strange faces.
While, therefore, it is pleasing to me to
pay an occasional visit to the land of my
birth, yet I think I could not be induced
to take up my abode there again. When
the few days that I intend to sojourn here
are over, 1 feel that nothing could give
me more pleasure than to return to the
mountains of glorious Old Cambria. For
there are my interests, my family, and
my home; and where they are there 1
desire to be also.

him as a black-hearted traitor and cow
ard. The enemy are known to have had
30,000 troops, 15,000 of whom are our
prisoners. Five thousand escaped, and
the balance are reported killed and wound
ed. Our loss is not stated, but the slaughter
of our ranks is mentioned as terribly se

ceeding the Fort Henry bombardment.
Tt Instpd about an hour and a half.
The enemy had, fronting on the river, two
batteries, the lower one of nine and the
upper one of four guns, beside a 10-inch
Columbiad. The wooden gunboats Tyler

Gen. Burnslde to Gen M'Clellan, was re
ceived late last evening :
tlEADQCARTEUS, Dep'T NORTH CaIIOLINA, "
J!oanole Island, Feb. 10, 1602.
Major General Geo. B M'Clellan.
Commanding U. S. Army, Washington:
General : I have the honor to report
that a combined attack upon this island
wa3 commenced ou the morning of the
7th, by the naval and military forces of
this expedition, which has resulted in the
capture of six forts, forty guns, over two
thousand prisoners, and upwards of three
thousand small arms. Among the pris
oners arc Col. Shaw, commander of the
Island ; O., Jennings Wise, commander
of the Wise Legion. The latter was mor
tally wounded, and has since died. The
whole work was finished on the afternoon
of the Sth, after a hard day's fighting, by
a brilliant charge in the center of this
island, and a rapid pursuit of the enemy
to the north end of the island, resulting
in the capture ol' the prisoners mentioned
above. We have had no time to count
them, but the number is estimated at near
three thousand. Our men fought bravely
and have endured moFt manfully the
hardships incident to fighting through
swamps and dense thickets. It is impos
sible to give the details of the engagement
or to mention meritorious officers and men
in the short time allowed for writing this
report. The navsJL ; vessels carrying it
started immediately for Hampton Roads,
and the reports of the Brigadier Generals
have not vet been handed in. It is
enough to say that the officers and men of
both arms of the service have fought gal
lantly, and the plans agreed upon before
leaving Hatteras were carried out. I will
be excused for saying, in reference to the
action, that I owe everything to Generals
Foster, Reno, and Parke, as more full
details will show. I am sorry to report
the loss of about forty-five killed, and
about two hundred wounded, ten of them
probably mortally. Among the killed
are Colonel Russel of the Tenth Connec
ticut, and Lieutenant Colonel Victor De
Montcil, of the d'Epineull Zouaves.
Both of them fought most gallantly. I
regret exceedingly not being able to send
a full report of the killed and wounded,
but will send a despatch boat in a day or
two, with full returns. 1 beg leave to
euelose a copy of general order, issued by
me on the )ih. 1 am most happy to say
that I have just received a message from
Commander Goldsborough, stating that
the expedition of his gunboats against
Elizabeth city and the rebel fleet has been
entirely successful. 11$ will, of course,
send his returns to his department.
I have the honor to le, Genera!,
Your obedient servant,

Washington City, Feb. 15, 1802.
The President, Commander-in-chief of
the Army and Navy, returns thanks to
Brisr- Gen. Burnside and Flag Officer
Goldsborough, and to Brig. Gen. Grant
and Flag Officer Foote, and the land and
naval forces under their respective com
mands, for their gallant achievinents iu
the capture of Fort Henry aud Rianokc
Island.
While it will be no ordinary pleasure
for him to acknowledge and reward, in a
becoming manner, the valor of the living,
he also recognizes his duty to pay fitting
honor to the memory of the gallant dead.
The charge at Roanoke Island, like the
bayonet charge at Mill Spring, proves
that the clo33 grapple mil sharp steel of
loyal and patriotic soldiers must always
put rebels aud traitors to flight. The late
achievments of the navy show that the
flag of the Union, once borne in proud
glory around the world by naval heroes,
will soon again float over every rebel city
and stronghold, aud that it shall forever
be honored and respected, as the emblem
of Liberty and Union, iu every land and
upon every sea.

Great Britain and France. How
Great Britain aud France will consider
the news from Roanoke is a matter
apropos. If anxious to interfere in our
coucerns, it will probably resolve them at
once; for three, aud at most six months
will put interference out of the question.
If merely desirous, for the sake of hu
manity and the prosperity of commerce,
to secure au early and a lasting peace,
they will see that both these ends can be
obtained by giving the Government fair
play, as it will soon crush the rebellion,
and by re-establishing itself, promote
trade, the arts, and freedom. But if
animated by envy, tyranny, or bloodthirst
iness, they contemplate either recognition
of the South or armed help to armed
treason, let them first behold a vigorous
and united North, its energies now devel
oped and its spirit aroused, determined to
accept neither mediation nor compromise
till the old landmarks shall 1
) lished and the old flag again honored from
the sea to the lakes.
j Tli Burusldc Victory.
The country will recognize ia n
Burnside such sterling martial quartT'
added to a genius and a peraeVerinS
which are eminently essential to the sn
cess of those who seek to lead in the tr
eeutioa of this war. The victory i"
Gen. Burnside has wrested from a g.
rior force, from those with a full knrT
edge of the locality contested for, and
the face of discouragements which Wcu
have appalled an ordinary man or a 1 s
gallant army, begins to develope its detail!
and we can cow see some of the inn-.".
from the capture of Roanoke Island
Theie is. no doubt that the troops 7
taken the island, and in doin-' Vj il
they have captured all the tractor p"
boats. This fact has caused a wiie-srfeu
panic among the people of Norfolk an!!
Portsmouth ; but we are still without th
definite information as to killed and wound
cd which still leaves the country ia grea
suspense. The Xeta York Tribune of to
day says that Roanoke island is thirty
miles north of Hatteras Inlet, and li4
between the two sounds connecting Albe
marie and Pam!icoSounds. On the eaj
is Roanoke Sound j (about two miles broad
between the islacd and the narrow stri'i
of sand which fckirts the length of that
coast ; this sound is not navigable by ves
sels of large size. Oa the wet of th
island, and between it and the main land
liesCrotau Sound, about four miles broad'
and navigable for vessels. Oa both tLe
main land and the island strong latteries
have been erected ; and the deiga was
that our fleet should go to this sound and
attack those defences, while the arnu
landed, if possible, on the southern pan
of the island, and co-operated with them.
Here it is, probablv, that the filit took
place. The island itself is about sevea
miles long and three broad, haj good nat
ural defences, and is now strongly fortified.
The rebels have thrown up on it fivu
forts, an intrenched c;anp in the center,
and the whole garrisoned with 5,0l"j
troops. On the main laud, opposite, also,
there are extensive works, pruvided with
heavy 01 d nance aud powerfully manned.
Altogether, it is a very formidable poi
tiou, and our troops, necessarily attacked it
at some disadvantage, more especia'.iv on
account of the opportunity givtn the reb
els to strengthen themselves iu ti e delay
of the exuedition. The capture of tla
island will shut oil the waur cvinuuni.
cation between the two .-.;:;;! and tbfc
carrying of supplies t. N. r' Ik by that
means. From its posits.:! it a!.j com
mands Currituck sound, a strip of wau-r
fifty miles locg, teu miles v.iCe, and nav
igable to vessels drawing tm fctf. running
parallel to the Noith Curuiica co:i:t, sni
opening into Albemarle S'-un d. From it,
a3 a basis also, a movement is possible,
which will flank the rebel poMik,u at
Norfolk, and render that untenable.
&-Gcn. Burnside is a man of deeds
rather than words. It is his strong char
acteristic. This was shown by his speech
ou the reception of the flag presented to
him at Washington, at an early period in
the war. After the spokesman of the
donors had delivered a flattering speech
and had presented the flag, 3urnside re
ceived it with an expression of satisfaction
on his countenance, made a courteous bow,
and said, "Very much obliged to vou
