Beautiful Land and Water Scenery, and
Variety of Travel.

An excursion from Baltimore to Lake Winn-
psiogee and the White Mountains of New IIamp-
shire, at this of the year, is of the most
interesting and agreeable, we think, that could be
selected, combining extent, economy Of time,
variety of travel and Objects and cheapness of fare
and subsistence.
An absence of secen and a half days Cor rather
III hours) recently, enabled the Editor, without ill.,
terruption of sleep, to accomplish the above circuit
and devote two days of the time to recreation, hav
ing Travelled 1909 miles, at an average of about
cts. per mile for steamboat and railroad, including
all expenses, and living during the time the fat
of the land and water. The cariety of travel in
cluded steamboat-(and such splendid steamers as
presented between New York and Stonington
or Norwich -railroad cars-(and such delightful
cars, more particularly after reaching Connecticut,
and which become still more so, if possible, after
passing Boston)-bring up at the terminus of the
Concord and Montreal Railroad within about so
miles Of the White Mountains, to which stages,
drawn by four and six horses, proceed Immediately
after leaving the cars.
No scenes can be grandcr nor air more nvgorating
than are to be met with along the road and in view
from it, in New Hampshire, the distance from Boston
being some 200 miles-and on the road are pass
ed the manufacturing towns and villages of Lowell,
Manchester, Amoskeag, IIooksett Nashua, Concord,
Pemgewassett, Sandbomton Bridge, Meredith
Bridge, Lake Village, Meredith Village, Centre
Harbour, &c-the railroad portion of its distance
being actually laved by the water of the bays,
which the outlets OF, and including the grand
Wnnipisiogee lake. with its transparent and placid
waters, along which it also passes. To add to the
variety, there has this season been purposely built,
Sufficient to accommodate so passengers of hand
some finish, and stylishly furnished, called the
g Lady of the Lake, which forms a part of the
line of travel if preferred, without additional charge
Through every town of consequence which the
passed, additional car with passengers was
attached to the already long train The travel was
at the rate of about % miles hour, and the reach
ing and leaving the various depots did not appear
vary two minutes--in the latter case not minute
from the prescribed time; -and the attention and
politeness of the Conductors continuing to increase
the farther you travel.
We informed at Meredith Bridge (Which
was since the advent of August,) that the travel
this compared to that of the last, was about
500 to 40 persons The road, however, was
not opened last year until the Sth August.
