features and his whole life has been A comment, and an lustration of his phv~ siognomy. Without any ostentatious parade of his bencvolence and morality, he has devoted life, now somewhat protracted, to the good of his country and ,the world; and do not believe, that he has at any time perpetrated an act, for the consequences of which he need blush. Although now well adyaneed iR life, he is in the midst of "green old age ," and notwithstanding he is on the downhill side of sixty, course of raore allty, of virtue, temperance, and of hon. our, has shielded his constitution agaiast the invasions of age, and he does not ap> pear to be more than two. and forty. Mr. Whittlesey is a whig, and acts with the party in maintaining it's general prin- c'ple, but IS by no means violent or noisy partizan. He undoubtedly is of opinion, and correctly too, that the prin- ] clples of party, and the. ..honour of a country, can be maintained without re- sorting to acts of violence, or to the en. actment of the scenes of actual outrage. which not unfrequently, at all stages of the world. have disgraced party strug, glcs.
 He possesses all the great talents nec- essaryto the office of Chief Executive of the United States, and if people could be induced to select candidate for their suttrages. On!the basis of legitimate worth and merit. their favour would be con ierred on just such a man as the Hon. Elisha Whittlesey, of Ohio-a man who Is an honor to his country, and who has proved himself, by long series of pub lie duty, to be Patriot too pure, and g man too incoruptiblc, to be swayed by party, whilst engaged in discharging the duties of an enlightened American States man.

To Me Editor of Me Enquirer.

 Dear Sir--Thinking few items resrec ting the celebration. at this place, of the Birth of Washington and the Completion of the Railroad between this place and Colum- bus, may be of interest to you, will give you the particulars in brief. This Road is about 40 miles long, and passes through the counties of Franklin, Delaware, Nor row, Crawford, Richland. Huron, Lorain and Cuyahoga. It seems to have been the premedilated design of the Company, to locate the road as far as possible from all towns and settlements. For at least three> fourthS of the way, passes through dense forest, ihickly interspersed with black and dreary swamps- occasionally crossing a small opening in which is situated log cabin. By this arrangement, the Compa. ny, or the knowing ones, are enabled to make exlravagant speculations in land. Having the power to locate the Stations where they choose, they take good care to make their purchases before those localities are known to the landowners.
 As you are no doubt we'll aware, the members of the General Assembly were among the invited guests at the Excursion on the occasion alluded to. They, like their predecessors year ago, (who went 10 Cincianati at a similar cclebration,) cor dially accepted the invitation. On the morning of the 2Ist, they. in company with four or five hundred others, left the Station al Columbus amidst torrents Of rain and heavy peaIs of artillery. The road being new, and in consequence of heavy rains and warm weather the ground being sofi, we made very slow trip to Shelly, in Rich- land couniy. From this point to the Lake, the road had been in use and had become well packed. Here the company got their

OLD HEATH FROZEN TO DEATH

OLD HEATH 4ROZEN lO DEATH DANIEL HEATH, an insane man, was found lying dead upon the meadow of MT. Joseph Gibson, just below this village, on Tuesday morning, supposed to have been frozen to death. When discovered, he was lying ups on his side, on the bank of small stream, with his feet and ancles in the water, above which was thin coating of ice. The po> sition in which he was found, seemed to in- dicate that he had stepped down into the steam and fallen, and probably being chill> ed and numb, he did not have strength enough 10 rise. He was known 10 every one in the vicinity by the name of Old Hca;h," and had been insane for a great number of years. His insanity is said 10 have been brought on by a religious excite> ment. He was exceedingly well versed in the Scriptures-often carried bible with him, and would readily turn 10 any passage desired. He was harmless, inofiensive, and though usually ncIsy with singing and de> claiming from his bible, our citizens have always looked kindly on him. And altho' he had no known relatives, there are many who speak of the sad termination of his life with sorrow anl much feeling. According to his own statements he was in his 75lh year, [Gl.

ambition and steam both up, and made ev- erything bug in railroad style.

erything bug in railroad style.
 The ride was pleasant and all seemed highly delighted, until we were within about four miles of Cleveland. The coun- try thus far had been very level, and seem- ed to have been designed by nature for railroad purposes. Here we descended into the gorges which terminate in the Cuyahogo, opposite Cleveland. It would be hard to find rougher piece of country than this. It appeared to mo astonishing that any one ever thought of constructing railroad through it. It is said that there ] are but one or two crooks in this four miles of road; there is, however, a good reason for it, for it crooks all the way! Tho train passed down here at the rate of mile in two minutes. It was just at the dusk of evening. At one moment we were pass ing through cut 40 or 50 feet deep; the next, winding rugged hillside, with a frightful precipice beneath and above us ; and still the next, going with the velocity of bird over the Cuyahoga. On your right in full view, is the town of Cleveland stretching up the banks of the river; and on your left, you look down upon the wa ters of the lake, or rather the mouth of the river, which appeared literally covered with steamers and schooners, from the masts of which floated the American and British flags. The banks of the river, and the ad- jacent hill-sides, were covered with people who welcomed us newcomers with shouts and the roar of artillery.
 Luckily, we all arrived safe -though I had the misfortune to lose my cloak and car> pet bag during our first night here.
 Cleveland is the secondcit in cur State, and from its location on the lake shore, and being the terminus of two railroads and one canal, is destined to be a great place: The | view of Luke Erie from the light house presents ono of nature's noblest scenes, the sublime grandeur of which it would be folly to attempt to describe.
 There is in Ohio perfect mania for rail- roads. doubt if there is enough money in the State to build all that are in contcm- plation, The one from Cincinnati to Cleve> land is about 260 miles long, and is the longest in the State. Nearly all the rail- ways in Ohio and Indiana, have been built north and south--which I am inclined to think is q great oversight. The attention of the people is now turned to building them east and west. The principal one is from Cincinnati to St. Louis. I have labored nearly all winter to get n charter for rail- way from Cincinnati west to the State Line. immediately through the village in which reside, and have succeeded, with clause in it authorizing Cincinnati to loan the com- pany $300.00O. This is intended to meet another roadat the Indiana line, and to form a part of the great St Louis road. There are two other rival routes, one north and the other south of us.
 We have been in session three months, and are not near through. l stand ready to adjourn at the first opportunity, having become quite tired of log rolling and wire . pulling. We have three parties in Ohio, each of which holds the balance ofpower.

In funeral sermon recently preached on the death of young man who died on his way to California, the preacher thus speaks of the California entcrprize-
 Scarcely three months have elapsed, since three from the midst of us, Jeff their quiet homes and the peaceful avocations of their fathers, and launched forth upon that adventurous enterprise which has fired :he minds of so many young men in our land which has brought joy into few homes. and inconsolable anguish into many - which has strewn the long line ofits march with the dead, and dug up more of that for- eign territory for graves than for gold.- Thousands have staked their all. A few have won--many have lost. Under the whole enterprise there doubtless lies a proy> ideniial design, stupendously wise, and, as shall be seen in the end, slupendously mag niicent. But oh, the conflicting passions, the conflicting interests - the signs, the tears, the anguish, the blood, involved in its consummation. The great movements of Providence--and count the settlement of new State in that central position of the world such--are never cheGp, as men count cheapness. Be it that the exciting cause is gold, which takes so many thither Be il thousands fall a sacrifice, and many heart be riven. Under the whole scheme the Divine Hand is al work, laying sure his foundation, and building thereon his superstructuTe. What this superStrnetuTe shall be, lime must evolve. But we ven- ture the opinion that we are on the eve Of changes, commercial, civil, and religious, which shall make California one Of our most important States, and an emporium on the Bay of San Francisco, one of the most important lhoroughfares in the world.
