CINCINNATI, May Is. lsi5.
Here am /. at last. in the Queen City of the
West, Our Trip down from ST Louis was the
finest have yet enjoyed since leaving New York.
Every thing Is in full bloom, shrub and flower;
and do not believe God has made a moro beauii-
ful country than that bordering the Ohio, from
iis junction with the Mississippi 10 this CITY Such
blending OF bluff and valley, and all so in'ersected
with leapns brooks yine-wrsathed cottages, tocks,
herds and merry husbendnIen, that | really was
tempted to forego all farther journeylng, and pitch
my ten: among the mafisold= and tresh-blOwn pam
sies What delicious life man must lead in
such spot, with free and innocent heart. and
what can there be worthy TO charm one from the
green upland and the rosy vale, when there is
given to him there the breath OF flowers The glitter
OF dews, tae soft slimmer oi the quiet stars, and
music from birds, rivuets, and the drean-like
chime Of the ds;an, village bell Ah. he Is
happy man, that noble peasant-klns-
He asks no helms nor hands, poInP Of waving

He hold, his ren-he guides his s;eed-and bares his
shining blade,
And nocks are hinncd and fields s:rev, but not in
ruin laid.
And there are glorious empires here in the West,
for millions, # hey will but cenle with hearts and
hands for the work The Wilderness, fresh and
buxom as bride, calls to them with an cloGuent
VOICE Come from the city desert and I'LL me"
But, alas! the many prefer starving ganteely, 10

Cincinnati is very beauufuly-lccated city,
large and thrifty, with nothing but mismanage-
mcnt to impede its growth. Il has stretched over
the rivcr back to the hills, and seems only in It's
infancy now though il boasts oi over 100000 in
babitants Trade and business generally have
been unusually good this season. ihossn steamboat

at ST. Louis, nor Is the Lryee so crowded with
merchandise and produce. Or the two cities like
ST Louis better. She is more solid ard rich In all
her developments Cincinnati looks like city OF
haste thrown up IN a ieyer OF speculation, and has
rot the substantial and firm features OF 81. Louis,
and is wanting in good Hotels, which 10 the traveller
