Notes of Travel.

The Railroad from Philadelphia to Baltimore
is the best in the world-for those who are trou-
bled with dyspepsia. We never got half so much
exercise on hundred miles of Railroad before,
except where the rails were of wood and laid
cross-wise of the Road-the old fashion.
The Baltimore and Washington Railroad IS
a pretty good one, but its charges are atroclous
Two fifty for thirty.six miles is an exorbltant
price any where. but especially over level plain,
connecting two large and active Cities on one OF
the greatest thoroughfares in the land
Browns Hotel at Washington has been
greatly improved of late, especially by the addi
ton of large and elegant Gentemen's Parlor,
where smoking is not tolerated and reading is the
order of the day We know no better house In
Washington than this.
The Exchange Hotel at Baltimore is one Of the
best kept Houses between Greenland and Pata-
gonia. We have tried all sorts, from river raft
to an Executive mansion-from an unchinked
og.hut to the Astor-and we have found nothing
better in the way of accommodations than those
of the Exchange.

lative Chamber of that Territory, with the scan
dalous result of that trial. They may also
recoect that the Speech for the defence of Hon.
Marshall NJ Strong, now President of the Ter
ritorial Council, was quoted and commented on
with some severity, and the fact stated that he
had pitcher of strong drink before him, from
which he partook copiously while speaking, so
that he was decidedly drunk before its close,
sc. &c. In replication to a portion of our cor
respondents statement, Mr.. Strong has appealed
to gentlemen present who does not wish his
name published in connection with this matter,
but whom we regard as perfectly competent
and credible witness. Hercsponds to Mr.. Strong's
appeal as follows:

NIA1NE.-Under our commercial head will be
as given in the Governors message to the Legis-
lature. If all that is received into the Treasury
is applied to the liquidation of the debt (Which
the Governor does not recommend,) Sl,500,000
will remain unprovided for. The Governor recon-
mends a tax to reduce this, while the greatest
economy should be observed in all the depart
men.s of State. With regard to the Tariff he
says
The insuhciency of the present tariff to afford
the necessary revenue 10 the government, would
seem to be demonstrated, and in its revisal bv Con-
gress may hope, that all the great industrial, in
terests OF the country will be deemed equally de-
serving of attention and regard"
He speaks strongly against National Bank
says the deficits of the National Treasurer in
times OF peace are alarming symptoms, and
thinks retrenchment and economy are imperous-
ly demanded. He wishes that something should
be done to give to the country good militia sys-
tenn, which ne thinks has been discussed in pc
Rod of unlavorable excitement. The message is
chiefly occupied with the State debt, and urges
strongly, economy in the administration of public
affairs, and of consequence, recommends a short
session of the Legislature The message itself is
short, and in this respect furnishes good exam
pie to other State Executives.
