A Ttip- down- the_ Allegheny In
MR. EDITOR—the following is a part
of a letter--not intended for publication
--written by one of a party of three gen
tlemen who sailed in an open boat down
the Allegheny to Marietta,. Ohio. Think
ing that it inight be interesting to yotir
readers, I hate obtained the writer's per
mission to submit it-for publication.
-Yours &c. X.
I left Allegany, (Cataraug,us C 0.,)• N.
Y., Aug. 22. * * • We bad our
ship rigged and loaded at the wharf at
the foot of "Ware St.." and, after a fine
dinner served at the W-- Hotel, we
left amid the cheers and wavily , of hats;
bonnets and handkerchiefs' of the specta
tors who came to bid us farewell. After
a half day's trial and experience, we haul
ed in at the port of Great Valley for. the
night, and retired in' a delightful mood,
knowing that we should not be disturbed
by the tintinnabulations of an Allegany'
cow-bell. You reinen..ber our crew con
slated of three, of Ct., V— and
myself. Our boat was rigged with a small
square sail, hoops and canvas enough to
cover the entire boat; and cooking utcn
tils consisting 'of the old' fireplace tea
kettle, au "old-maid's" tea-pot, each a,
plate, a tea-cup and saucer, and one knife,
with two trunks, two valises and a box of
books, for ballast, and all crowned with a
Leautiful striped flag at the mast-head.l
I stated that our first half day was one of '
experience, and it proved one of the great
est anxiety of any on gur voyage, although
we had a tutor on hoardone of the W--s,
who was accustomed to the lake, but who
had left us at 4 o'clock, and from our first
lesson we learned how to manage our
bark thraugh the journey with case and
safety. We bed learned to, raw, to sail,
to cook, and to guide ourselves in the
channel correctly. The second day we
were obliged to spend in the region of the
Indian Reservation, which was not very
agreeable, especially to who, al
though be is one of the N. Y. bullies
when no danger is to be apprehended,
is soon cowed,, unless actuated by
passion ; and having had no experience
among the aborigines, he began to enter
tain fears in regard to our safety, and to
plead for an organization of our company
after the order• of seamen, that we might
better protect ourselves, and act in uni
son and harmony in the performance of
our other duties. Accordingly we elect
ed Captain, Nate, and
V— Pilot and Cook,
EMEMEII
We did not succeed in leaving the Res
ervatiou that day, and night overshadow-
in.. us, we prepared our boat for lodging.
The "natives" were out fishing and as
we were enveloped in darkness, our cook
had his anticipations for the worst, raised
to the highest pitch, and his imagination'
already advanced to an attack from, and
battle with the " balms." flaring se
lected his berth with the Captain in the
stern of the boat—our. baggage in the
middle and the Mate . taking the bow--
our Cook must take the precaution to arm
each of us with AA oar ta be placed eon
yet:dolly at our side; and then he. was
not attsfied, nor .would he be appeased,
till we had :constituted (=selves a
" watch," each to serve two lours suc
cessively in the order of Conk, Captain
and Mate. The Cook's watch commenc
ed at 81 o'clock and the Captain passed
him his time-piece to apprise litm when
he should be released. At half past ten
he armed the Captain, and announced,
"all right, except, the' injuns still . out
spearing fish," and entrusted the charge
to. the Captain, whO commanded the Cook
to calm hunself to sleep till same. cam
of alarm should occur. Seeing the Cook
obedient, all reposed in shombertill ear
ly morning, when we were awakened by
the gentle pattering of, the rain upon our
•
covering, but as it did not wet through,
a Skiff.

ory at once reverted to the annari
tory, and especially to the early hikery
of our couutry,, and imagination had at
opportunity of presenting pictures of the
past more:vividly than ever, dagnereotyp.
lug, to us the scenes which our ancestors
passed through in .preparing . tEls lovely
land for our inheritance. Yes, , it was a
Ipleasart time of reflection for the Cap
-1 tain and Mate, who had fully 'pondered
the history of the past, and knew that the
dangers had all been suffered; but to
V—, the realities of his imagination
seemed at hand, and he actually expected
to see them transpire.
The clouds having dispersed, we par
sued our journey ;—and thus .I might go
en: discoursing to you upon each day's
occurrences, giving notes of our experi
ence, our living, our trials, our joys, our
gratifications and our disappointments
even 'to the end, of our journey ; but they
would not be of sufficient interest to re-.
inunerate me for my trouble to pen them,
or fix you to peruse,them; therefore ex
cuse me, while I- merely menden only a
few of ie more important incidents, and
speak of our directiou, principal obj.-ets
of interest and destiny. It proved to us
quite a task, the river being so low, but
although we had to labor for our pleasure,
none - of us regret .in the least having un
dertaken the expedition and prosecuting it
as far as we have; nor could we desire , it
to be blotted from our memory for one
moment of our live.. The beauty, and
romance of the scenery; the river inter
spersed with beautiful. islands on which
we often rambled, ate and reposed, with
the music in its windings as it rolled,over
Its -rocky .bed; often intercepted to ,tbe
view by mountains covered with beauti
ful fbrcsts, and forming to all apriettranee,
in the distance, an impenetrable and
barrier, but on approach,
affording an opening through which we
pass;
the storm whiz-li for a moment =t
em the mountain-tops and then reveals
them again in all their splendor, crowned
by: the eternal bow of promise; he enjoy
ment we experienced in taking the speak
led • finny tribe from their hiding place in
the r?aliug, babbling brook; the "Indian•
god" which ran down the river on inquir
ing for it, till we overtook it, and found
the original characters nearly- oh iterated
by the elemelits, and instead, niodern
names cut and painted ; the - curiosity of
an Editor's office in a log hut upon the
river's brink which the Captain visited,,
and left his promise of a narration of our!
expedition—yet unfulfilled; the perform- t
ance of a Dutchman in his intoxication -
attempting to ferry. some females with
their "responsibilities" in their arms,.
across the river; the joyful greetings we
received from the c itiz.ens in general ; our
five days' stay in Pittsburg, the "Iron
City" to the very letter, and the dirtiest
pact • of the globe we ever visited—and'
there the leave-taking of our cook who
accepted the charge Of an uncle and great
uncle whom he there found; the glorious
sunset on the Ohio when the full moon
rose-as if to prevent the departure of day
—the sublimity of the scene none can
describe ; our first day's run with another
skiff bound for Texas; our halt at Mari-;
etta, Ohio, and abandonment of the river,'
and our overland journey, for a change in
our .mode of travelling, with the pleasure:
we experienced in passing from town ;to•
town, viewing the rich and beautifuleoun
try of Ohio, where the inhabitaiits prin
cipally "reecin and travel on horseback;
our visit to Zanesville, thence by Nation,-
:al Road to. Columbus, the handsomest,'
city we ever beheld; thence to Springfield,
Dayton, down the Miami valley to Cin-
cinnaci; and turning our backs - upon
Ohio'S beautiful soil and villages, and ex
, tensive fields of glistening maize, as we
enter the Hoosier. State and take up our

When it, is romeruheed, that during

congratulation that, 0 ' r suoh , eircum 7

For nearly tenyearttlittsi, the a his

the gratifying result, tht afar,' is, that her
