ROCHESTER, sept -, IL.
l apprehcnd thus getting from New-4orN 10
Buffalo in thrty-six hours is not quite 50 easy as
most Of us have supposed. Here am l. ioF'y
hours from the Commercial Emporium, and win
the utmost diligence / am only at Rochester yet
The River part Of the route was iauitiefsly &C

ERBocKER, undoubtedly the most comiortaole as

ber state. room bcrths afford eligible sleeping
ground as dry land can furnish, unless at some
such place as Long Branch or Rockaway. The
motion of the boat is Just pcrccptble, and rather
soothing and grateful than otherwise.
American modes of conveyance have a habit
of being from hours to days behind their adver-
tised time, and our New Y York singlc-track Rail
roads are not exempt from the common falling
We were behind at Schenectady, still more at
Utica, and though we made good time (34 hours
thence to Syracuse, 50 miles, VIC did not make
up our loss. From Syracuse to Auburn, p
miles, we were two hours and q quarter-a most
unreasonable consumption of time. We were
now too late to go on to Cayuga Bridge to meet
the down train, which would stop there till s.
O'Clock for US, then come on; SO we had an hour
and half to cool our heels in Auburn, then had
to. go back mile for car we had left, and finally
got started at 10 instead Of 7, p. NJ. Thence TO
this City we came on very WELL arriving here at

learned that no tram leaves Rochester for the

doing in Buffalo. | mention these facts for the
benefit of travellers Westward who might leave
New York on Friday evening expecting to be in
Buffalo Sunday morning, and thereby subject
themselves to serious dlsappointments If they
leave on that evening, they should stop over one

they have friends or business, or drop Off and take
good nights rest at Auburn or Canandagua.-
To loss a nights sleep and find you have gained
nothing in place of it, is bore.
The storm of Friday night Gt was much

been inconsderable; and little has been expert

Rochester appears TO be fiourishing, and her
business quite active and vigorous. The City
grows yisbly apace, and is already SO large that
Tyler party consisting Of several persons has
been formed init The facts that the Post Office
here is lucrative and that there isa Custom-Housc
establishment besides, which affords little to do
and a good deal to get, explains the otherwise IN
credible phenomenon of finding twenty-five Iy-

The great New York State Agricultural Far
opens here on "Wednesday, and will be attended
by many thousands. The preparations for 1t arc
ample and admirable. I learn that whole fami-
