For death, the truth that cheers and saves
What mission more sublime!
For flames, we send the light afar

May 2•, 1858.
H. .1. STAHLI, Esq.—Dear Sir:—.l bat the
Okaw Bluff on the 7th of May,in company with
three friend' and a good span of trotting
horses, on the county road. Prom Sparta to
Georgetown, in the forenoon, we bad heavy
roads, through timber lands, with oars In a
while a good farm. We reached Georgetown
by noon, 18 miles. After resting mar bones,
we started on three miles, to Gravel emir,
hick is the boundary hue of Perry county.—
Through this bottom every tree has Its grape
vine wrapped around Its trunk, with limbs and
top; also encircled, which makes It look wild
and romantic. The road is miseratde sradithe
fording dingerons to cross. Perhaps it ;mould
be necessary here to inform you how the roads
are repaired in the west, to give you an idea
of our travels in a wet season. In this State
each man must fork fire days per year for his
road tax, and as the country is thhtly settled,
say from lire to seven miles from Stroh to firm,
and no stone or rock to be had Mus t y pries, the
means of repair are small limbs and under
brush, which they cut off r by the - side of the
road and tramp in the galleys and chocks,
and sometimes shovel a little earth on, which
is - all I bare seen in this country. Hat one
thing favors them : they only drive we span of
horses or ens yoke of oleo, and light wagon.
With a loag and heavy team it 'Would be im
possible to pass on these road*. .
We next crossed Nary river, and tame In
sight of little short prairie, soil thin and light,
and soon after to long prerirle, which is also
poor and light. Then we crossed Swan creek,
and halted over night at Plakneiville, the seat
of justice of Perry county. Land hers sells
frees $lO los3o,a4cordiag to the improvements.
The society appears tolerably good. They
have a fine court honse, a large steam mill, and
brewery, two hotels, and several stores and
groceries. From this we 'true.. for the Cen
tral Illinois railroad, through a poor country,
where they ire the woods yearly and burn the
undergrowth, only leaving a few large trees
standing; soil very thin and light, except a
strip along Possum , :reek. This looks to be a
fine stream, with heavy timber, such as oak
and black-jack.
We next crossed Lily creek, where it took
our team hard to make the fording with the
driver on, and the rest of ns had to crawl the
timber and walk up the bluff. Soon after we
came in sight of nine mile prairie, which is
fenced nearly np to Tamaroa, on the Railroad.
This place has a rich and heavy soil, and the
wheat looks very good. The village is only
two years old and his about eighty houses,
with quite a number going up. It has two
hotels and a number of stores. Seven years
ago :pis land was taken up at $1 25 per acre.
Lot(are now selling very high, and in the
neigborbood it sells by the farm from $lO to
$25 per acre. This village is expected to make
a great place in the course of time. Here you
can see the ears coming up rwstrrr-rwo ultra
in clear weather, the road being straight and
level, and no timber in sight. They have plen
ty of coal all over this country. This place is
85 miles from Cairo and 323 from Chicago by
railroad.
Here my friends left me to return to Kaskas
kia, and I took the cars for Sandoval, 33 miles,
all along the prairie country. I there changed
cars for St. Louis, on the Ohio and Mississippi
broad guage road, 62 miles. Here the land ap
peared to be bettor, and the nearer to St. boats
the more it was improved. St. Louis.' must
style the King of the West. It Is six miles long
and four wide, is very compactly built, and is
equal to any anar eastern• cities. It has a
Levee snarly six , idles long, and from Aily to
sae hundred yards wide, which is nearly al
ways crowded with all kinds of vehicles, from
a head-barrow to a mail-stage, with ihnumer7
able foot folks of all and sorts, which

GETTYSBURG, PA.: MONDAY, JUNE 7, 1858.
rain, It gave me one of the moot beautiful sights
I ever had in my life. And the sound, as from a
mammoth machine, of the great noise and bus
tle in the city coming across the river—the
city being bidden by the numberless steam
boats on the levee—the whistle of the steam
boats and the rumbling of the trains coining in
on the Illinois side, crewded with travellers
and emigrants—altogether formed an Impres
sive scene.
I then took the cars for Alton, and had a
short run of twenty-live miles up the Mississip
pi. On the American bottom the soil it very
rich and deep, but is subject to overflow. Land
is high in price, and is mostly cultivated to
supply the city with vegetables, kr.
Alton Is a growing city., and is Improving
fast. It is a place of considerable trade. Here
Is the mammoth flouring mill, built and carried
on by the NV's., who came from our neighbor
hood some twenty years ago. They are able
to tura out 800 barrels of dour per day. There
are also two other smaller steam mills—likewise
a distillery which consumes 800 bushels of
groin per day. Here the farmer sells his corn
is Um ear. He has to shovel it into a large
hopper, sad it is thee shelled and ground, sad
the cobs carried to the femme or the coal
heap as fuel. This is all done by steam ma
chleery. There are also foundries sad Ma
this* shops, sad numerous wholesale Moms.
What Is most Interesting to eastern folks Is the
largest lime-stone quarry I have seen. It is
snore than a mile long, sad Is pieces has a
frost of to TO feet high. It has quite a som
ber of kilns, where lime Is barreled and shlppe
in all directions.' This rod supplies the city
la bending and pasist and for gt istelting the
streets.
This place wide my head-qaarters for some
time, and WAS of course perfectly at home.—
The society la ;nod; the people are sociable,
genteel, enterprising, go-it-bead, all of which
you &adorn lad In the far west. Bat property
sal roots are high, sad land about town is
worth $lOO per acre.
I will low give' you some of my ccrentry
steaks end gleanings. The int was with
Mead tee, to illdpily, 16 miles--land worth
$3O per:Vcro—tilabse $16.. lest was with
`Mead W. at tans *ay Pie ole, ms the Well bask
Of Altera, where rase 966 small alma girls
to procession, with thousands of old flake; and
a lime head at the bead. The youngsters
amused themselves with dancing on the green,
swinging and' dancing the rope, all with the
greatest hilarity, and not seeing or bearing
auyt/tiog to deter them from their sport. Next
I tor , a trip p-atonte Belle, a seminary for 1
yowl ladles, four miles from Altos. Uere
Atm are 150 young ladies at studies. The
hisildlpg is a fine one, and Its yards . - and . widkii
and orseasesital trees fir corpus those of the
institutions at your plisse. Xest we proceeded
to Jerseyville, 35 miler, which pets sae la mind
oftitde York, only the soil is ricer and no
reek to be found. Two miles der* there Si a
Ism On sale of 134 aerie fee $6OOO 66A, as
good land as seed be, with good belidinp,
fhnees, ore tard and serer-failing water. One
mile farther is Fobs's fans, over 400 acres, for
$15,000. This farm Is hard to best, and is for
sale. Next trio my Mend W. N. accompanied
me In the ears to Providence, 15 miles, and
then 3 miles a-foot to his farm, which Is a
field of 320 acres enclosed with a board tenet,
with a sew two-story house, stabling for
harm, and good water. Here are 100 acres of
the best wheat that I bare ;sea, all in one
piece; here also are 8000 bushels of cora In
rail cribs, without any corer since husking.—
This prairie farm is only two years antler cul
tivation, and is offered (or $3O per acr4by
taking 30 acres of timber-bud so it, 31 allies
off, where he went in hunt for the way sad loss
ourselves in the wilderness; followed scow
path, and were overtaken by • thunder shower;
got to Brown's house, end from Shear* to
Brighton Station, at 11 o'clock at tight, took
the cars for home, arrived safety at 12: and
next day my friend L. FL S. (who is a sub
scriber to The Compiler, bat sometimes misses
a number, which puts him out of humor with
the mails for the time being,) took me to friend
Ben's., who took me to Boree'y Station that
evening, and we stayed with his friend till
morning. From thence we rolled over some
of the finest and richest prairie in the State of
Illinois, and looked at the lands of D., which
are improved and offered for sale at $3O per
acre, timber $l5. After a good dinner with
Ben's. son, we rolled to Bunkerhill Station ;
thence to Woodbrier and Stringtown; crossed
Wood river ; passed the seminary of Upper
Alton, where there are about 100 young met.
It is situated on rising ground, well surrosteded
by a fine grove of fancy trees and shrubbery.
Hen stopped my tralels until I started east.
I will now give you a few of the Suckers'
fashions of farming. They take it very easy.
They cut their grain and grass with the reaper,
and make no hay unless it is for sale. Their
cattle run at large on the range all, year, as
well as their hogs; and often you meet their
horses, colts and mules on the range, the
tamest having a bell hang to its neck, to give
the owe search notice where to find them.—
Their h they gather In the fall, and build a
fence l
owe search
near the water, in which they
are pot, then give theta pleaty of cora isr the
ear,' sad let tI "root hog or die." After
they tee their grata titer* are young wee
wbo go &boat threshing. They bars their
esosikhoe ow a small wages', and .eaa stop

these and some other points the Suckers are
ahead of us, but lack in industry and economy.
In this State, when you go away from the river
or railroad, you will find them very slow,
careless, and inclined to be indolent, with no
enterprise about them.
The wheat crop throughout the State lirwery
good; the corn is not yet planted and must be
a small crop; of oats and barley not much is
sown.
I left Alton on the 19th for the cast, and had
a good run till 9 o'clock at night, near Hills
boro', Montgomery county, Illinois, where we
were detained until 2 o'clock in the morning,
when we again proceeded on our way, and
reached this place (Icria Haute) at 9 o'clock.
Here we missed the connection, and will have
to stay over till 9 o'clock to-night.
This is a fine plitce, but not much improving.
The Wabash canal is nearly dead. There is
only one boat in town. The Wabash river is
very high; the lower bridge has lost three
spans, the railroad bridge is much swagged and
Is tied up to trees with heavy ropes, while
skifk canoes and men are ready when a train
crosses fur assistance should Lb. bridge break.
Yours truly,

of apeech by a young French girl, the
tsirCametassees of which are as follows:
At a late hour in thtj night, an inhab

one of th 3 streets of Rouen, saw a win.
dow of)en on the first floor of a dwell
ing-house on his way, and thinking that
the family were thereby exposed to not
tarsi visitors, he roused the inmates of
the household and informed them of their
negligence and danger. Thanking the
traveler for his kindness, the master
of the house immediately went up to
the chamber of his domestic, to whom
the carelessness was chargeable, and
waking her from a profound sleep, be
gan in a loud and angry voice to een.
cure her for her carelessness. The
startled girl, not reedgnizing the voice
of her master, and thinking it-was the
noise of robbers at her door, was so
frightened, that she could only respond
with inarticulate sounds, and since that
time has not been able to speak.
The -Southern Matron.—Tho Southern

HOW Monte, on the east side of the Sal

Hubert Cunningham, is a wealthy plan

historical work upon some incidents of
the revolution. She never married;
she is small in figure and a blonde. In
1533 she conceived the design of arous
ing her countrymen to the purchase of
Mount Vernon. Well do we remember
the first appeal, in an eloquent letter,
signed "A Southern Matron." By her
influence an address was made near her

tract with ono of the Messrs. Dupont,
of Wilmington, for gunpowder At
that time thew gentlemen were the only
extensive manufacturers of that article
in the trinon. The contract being com
pleted, Gen. Dearborn, who was some
thing of what is now called a Know
Nothing, said to Mr. Dupont, who was
a Frenchmen, " my only regretin mak
ing this contract is that I have been
obliged to make it with a foreigner."—
" Pray, Sir," said Mr. Dupont.
ask where you were born ?" " Sir,"
said the general, "I was born in Bos
ton." " Then, sir, you were not con
sulted as to your coming, and you came
naked and helpless. I came of my own
choice ; r brought a sound mind and
hotly, and the information and capital
I had acquired, and bav, thus been en
abled to establish the manufacture of
an article of the, first necessity. To
whith, sit, do you think the country is
most indebted!"

Easy- enough. Make one big pen,
and in it make three small ones; in
each of these little pens put three pigs,
which will be odd numbers each. As a
Matter of course the fourth pen—the
big one—will have an odd number in it

A Well Told Story.
Harper's Magazine records the nar
row escape of Bishop Capers' Catechism
from being annihilated by a liar4l
- opponent in Russell county, Ala
bama :
That excellent missionary, Brother
was teaching the colored people
out of Catechism No. I—teaching them
at the plantations and at Andrew Chap
el—a good work, which he did well,
and the people appreciated it. We say
the people—not alt, however. A hard
shell Baptist preacher, Elder W—,
got. wind of strange doctrine and raised
the alarm. Ile made an appointment,
and the Methodists (as they always do)
Ruse him the use of their chapel to use
up the Catechism. The elder tooleit
into the pulpit and hammered it well,
especially oe the fleshy revelations.
Several of the Methodists were on
hand. Sister G— spiritedly declared
that her mind was not changed at all.
Tho inissionarics should still teach her
servants out of the Catechism, if they
would. But the elder had things his
own way against the Catechism until
seated away hack, a wide-awake
and very shrewd man, spoke out :
", Sir, do you know that ou are
speaking and inveighing against the
laws of your country? You have read
the title page of the Catechism• ' now
read what's on the other side of that
leaf, if you please.'
" Reads: 'Entered according to the
act of Congress, in the year of our
Lord, 1847, by John Early.' There,'
contimted 13 7 ---,itho, to the confusion
and dial Way of the elder, followed up
his adeuntage before the eongregat'on,
'Sea nen that book has passed both
horses of ,Congresti, and been duly author
ized, and here you are trying to rise up
the people against it.'
"Thosider felt his position an awk
ward one for a good citizen—gave it up
—tbo Catechism wits victorious! It
was a piper 'Juliet, but brought down
the game..
