HUDsoS, Ohio. M9nday. seIt IS
When | wrote day before Yesterday from 10
chester, expected to leave for Buffalo directly,
but instead Of three or four O'Clock, 4. M., when
We should have started, or half-past 10, when we
we're promised, it vas two p NJ. when we got
away, and seren hours were consumed by our
light train in reaching Buffalo, beng at the rate
cf1O5 miles per hour Arriving at nine ?. Nj,
instead Of the seven TO ten A. NJ. as | expected,
Ihad the pleasure of learning that the friends I
was to meet here had just lei, in the nine o'clock
toat up the Lake. SO my Sunday was used up,
and lost good boat, to follow The next morn
Ing in such as could get.
The bad management of The combined Rail
reads from Albany 10 Buffalo deserves and re
there is any hardship per Sc in being 33S7 hours
on this route have been four times as long ere
now, and was content, but il is wrong TO pre-,
mise passage in % hours, and then make the
time 3S4. The only excuse was the Sabbath !;
but look at the effect. If ours, being the regular
train with the Great Mail from New York, had
zone straight on in the advertised time, VIC
should have been in Buffalo between seven and
eight on Sunday morning, hi ample time 10 ak
tend church through the day, as several were spc-
cially desirous 10 do: instead Of this, We were
kept in expectation Of start through the NOM
ing at Rochester, and then paraded ON the road
appointments with friends, and all. What is Of
more importance to the public the Great Eastctn
Mail for all the West, which ought TO have gone
out that day or evening, was left over till Mon
day evening, causing disappointment at a criti-
cal season to business men from Erie TO Galena.
Mr. Postmaster General, is there any remedy for
this
We came up the Lake TO Cleveland in the
Gen. Harrison-a small boat, crowded to It's ut
most capacity with emigrants and freight. She
was in good hands, but the accommodations for
emigrants on most of these smaller Lake boats
are most wretched. They ought to be reformed
they must be- One or two hundred women
and children, compelled to seek lodgings on the
deck OF a steamboat, with few rags above and
below them, is bad enough at best; but on one of
these little boats, rocking like cradle, 50 cover
ed with freight that there is hardly place to sit
down, it is intolerable Emigrants should take
care and secure good boats-large safe and COM
modious-even though they wait at Buffalo a day
or two. Better pay few dollars extra to the
landlord than to the doctor and passage in
one of these little boats on rough or cold night
IS positively dangerous to health if not to life.
The Corn Is nearly destroyed by frost
through the Genesee country; much more tho
roughly than [ thought when I wrote last. 1t
was poor at best, and was killed outright, when
scarcely beginning to ripen, week ago. Pota-
toes and Ruckwheat have also suffered severely
throughout that region. On the borders of the
Lakes, however, the frost has hardly been felt;
and this way, from Cleveland South, the Corn Is
still green and will yield well. There has been
no frost here, and | believe all Fall crops are
good, except Fruit, which is better than in New
England, but still Indifferent. The weather is
clear and quite warm to-day, after rain last
