Whig, Democratic, American shoot ont through his land to tbe land of the Com - pany, and has contracted to build it mile longer. one I took a ride np to tho "Depot," where! load the lots upon the car. then clap a horse to it, and in a few minutes you are at the Creek, where they tumble the logs into the water, turn the horse to the other end of the car, jump upon the plat form, and back for another load. A man and horse with a car this way bring out from 4 to 6,000 cubic feet per day. This is the best way I ever saw to get timbcr out of a rough mountain. Tbey cut the tree down, draw it out with oxen to the scaffold beside the land, which is made up the hollow, so that the scaffold is lighter than the cars. This would cost about f500 per mile, and "pays" well. Mr. F. says there will be ever 10,000,000 cubic feet of timber brought ont of that hollow in those cars. You see that if the people of the Valleys do not make Railroads, tho pcoplo of the Mountains will they can't be kept back any longer. These Yaukees," as we call them, do wake our Dutch farmers up. Here they are, nearly a thousand miles from borne build a raw-mill near the River go 40 miles np a Creek then go back 2 or 3 miles into the Mountains cat dawn trees, make ft railroad, ton tho logs pn it t tae creek, tumble them in, and LEWISBURG, UNION let it float down to their mills and all this tbey do while we would be loading a log on our wagons. There are some " Yankee notions." I wish jou had been with me among this sublime mountain scenery, for Nature is now in all her beauty, and these tall trees on cither side are splendid. I know you are a Railroad roan ; and although the rails are only wooden, the cars are of cast iron, made very stronz: and you might have dreamed you were on the Spruce Creek Railroad.

In a recent number of a provincial jour nal of England, we noticed the following item of news : "It is proposed in high quarters to erect an imposing Monument, in Westminster "Abbey, to the Ret. Mr. Banyan, to be "located in the vicinity of tbe monuments "to Sbakspcare and Milton." j What dignitary of tbe Church of Eog land,(thought wc) what prelate or poet what preacher or philosopher is next to be canonized 7 We could not find a Rev erend Doctor Bunyan, cr Bishop Banyan, in our books : who can he be who is to be elevated to niche in the renowned Ab bey, with Shakspbarb and Milton on either hand ? Can it be Tinker Juhn f Another paragraph states positively that it is indeed the author of Pilgrim' Progreu (or whom the honor is intended I "Reverend Mister Bunyan 1" No wonder the name seemed new ; and if a monument were thus inscribed, few would at the first thought know who was intended to be a immortalised. As well might you quote from the Letters of Rev. Dr. Paul, Bishop of Rumeot prove your doctrine by an appeal to Rev. Simon P.

Mr. Bunyan" was, 91 by the dignitaries of the Church of Eng 322 ( land, derided as a 'low tinker,' a 'wizard,' HI a 'Jesuit,' a 'highwayman ;' be waa for 122 bidden to exercise his gifts as a Christian ; teacher to such as chose to bear; he was 62 I confined in Jail Itcelve or thirteen year, 179 md threatened with Banishment, and even 78 ! g5 1 with Death, for preaching and baptizing as hia conscience bade him do. Then, i Westminster Abbey would have been tbe last place for the "Tinker of Onslow" to appear in; and that his monument, as a ' popular diviue, should be there erected, would have been a supremely merry jest ! i Little did tbe brntbh magistrates and ' bigoted zealots of that day know who they abused and less were Sir Matthew Hale and Justice Twisden aware of tbe disrepu- ' table position tbey oeeupied,when refusing to aid tbe poor woman who entered tbe ; imposing "Star Chamber," before the gay 6i and scornful assemblage, to plead against the unrighteous committal of her hus band. "Elizabeth Bunyan told them that "there were four small children by the "former wife, one of them blind ; that they "had nothing to live upon while their father "was in prison, but the charity of good "people ; that she herself, at the news "when her husband was apprehended, "being but young and unaccustomed to "such thing, fell in labor, and continuing "in it for eight days, was delivered of a "dead child." "Alas ! poor woman," said Hale. But Ticitden said, " Poverty waa "her cloak, for he understood her husband "was better maintained by running np and "down a-prcaching, than by following bis "calling." Sir Matthew asked what was his calling, and was told that be was a tinker. "Yes," observed the wife, "and because he "he is a tinker and a poor man, therefore "be is despised and can not have justice."

Bat yet, thought I, I 1 e .i y j .1 1.2a CHRONICLE But it was a grand blunder of the Area Enemy and bis lawned emissaries, to lock up "Rev. Mr. Banyan" under the condem nation of banishment, and with tbe rope in full view, because he could not "cease to "warn every one, night and day.with tears, "to flee from the wrath to come 1" His voice comparatively hushed, Lis active mind sought expression, by learning the ; use of the pen ; and excepting only Tins Word itself, do work in any language has been so often printed, and translated into other tongues, as the PJynm $ rmjreu and kindred words of this day-dreamer m the Bedford prison. Tbe lips.which hund reds of delighted and instructed "common people heard gladly," were not permitt.-d to speak ; but the hands tbat triced in soul reaching words the glowing thoughts cf a3 mighty a heart of benevolence as ever dwelt in human breast, spake and speak as no other mere man ever did. And while the English language lives, and the Christian endeavors to press towards "the Celestii! City," so long will eloquent John Bunyan live and preach, whether the dignitaries of Westminster Abbey do or do not seek to atone for their fathers' persecutions by rea ring tbe "storied urn or animated bust." He is immortal, though the Abbey itself may crumble into dost, and his proud tra ducers be known only by their infamous relation to his sufferings even as flies are preserved in amber, or toads by the closing up of the rock around them. Yet, let tbe inouument be erected. It will be of little avail in giving fame to " honest John," but then it may create additional attraction towards Westmiuster.
