"PFO'"I yOuS HHnougn the excoTcIOn was performed with such ceIeriy that very ustinct impressions wer made upon my mind.
 You know decided Dpon travelling to Pittsburgh in the aerial car Tornado (which leaving Boston al five in the morning, enables you to dine at Pittsburgh at three, in preference tine rail road SIoth which Starting at the hour seldom reaches that civ be | fore seven.
 assure you it was highly entertaining to perceive the crowds of aeronauts navigating the air. par,icu iarly tn the vicinity of New-York and Philadelphia and tt required the greatest skill in pilot avoid collision with their gay vehices but his great experi encc, having travelled this route more than five and twenty years, enabled him avoid all impedimen,s and completely banishcd fear from our mnds My companions, us well as myself being destined to New Orleans, we stopped at the city of Pi,eburgh, with its smoky suburbs, only long enough to dine, which was accomplished in just one minute and hal. Oy my wa'ch every thing being conducted by steam waiter ofexTaordinary despatch, who not only cover- ed the table in an incredibly shor, space time, with the most delicious viands, and placed the food in our mouths without any effort of own but bv his as- t"nsh"g assisted in the act of teglu ''tion Immediately after dinner we sebped on hoard ot the rail road car, appropriately called "Cbaiu Lightning" utterly rejecting the steam boat which moves at the snais pace of J2O miles per hour And now nothing distinctly impressed itself upon the eve Tor trees, plantations, rivers, houscs negroes and white men. were blended in one confused mass all glowing with the rays of the scorchng sum- and re- sembl'ng nothing that can think of but the gorgeous ribbon, made by forming circles with blazing wand.
 grleve to say that half dozen passengers irre- coverabf lost their breath, by incauriousy turning their backs to the wind. was myself unable to speak for about five hundred miles, and friend S-.- had an ear blown off, by the rush of air accustomed by the passage of another in an opposite direction. But accidents ilI happen in an age of improvements like this. How could the tame spirits of the las, century endure to creep over our waters the of twenty miles a" hour, and occupy weeks in performing voy- age to Europe.
 We stopped for the night at the great National Ho- el i" the centre of the city of New Orleans, con. taining near two millions of inhabitants. l may not stop to describe the splendor of it's public budngs the motley character of is inhabitants nor its happy freedom from the restraints of morality but will hurry you with me from this splendid depot of wealth and luxury, and introduce you to the dominions of tue beautiful and accomplished Empress of the Sandwich Islands.

 As specimen oi the ingenious variety, and inter. es,ing nature of the diversions introduced a, Court will mention that submarine excursions are much in vogue. had myselfihe pleasure of descending in superb diving bell the bottom of the sea- in compa ny with dozen maids oi honor and as many lords in waiting, where we passed a couple of hours very pleasantly in daUcng quadrlles and partaking of sumptuous repasf. The effect of music at that vas. depth surrounded by of water, was, at least, pecuiiar.
 But adieu, dear friend have felt strange ring jag in my ears since my desccn, many (a,,oms be- meath the Sea. and not certain that did no. take | itde cold.
 My next excursion will be on the rail road to the moon, which you know has recently been projected hy the ndelatgable Jonathan Skyscraper, ingen- | ious Yankee friend I take breathing apparatus with me, as understand respiration is little difficult, when atmosphere is fairly left in the distance. Yours truly, ScHEHEREzADE. P.S. You will receive this by our friend S--, who makes his return passage ihe hack of a tame whale, and as he intends pass through the Darien Canal he will probably he with you in three days. N. B.
