From our Correspondent


New York, Nov. 10, 1852.
MEssRs.--What a city is this New York.
Brick and buildings, starch and steam, fun and
fashion, gas and CLEAN, darkened daylight, MUIR
ky air, bankers, beggars, ladies fair, full of these
great cities are. To live in city man must
forego his intercourse with nature, and derive
all his worldly enjoyment from art alone
Nothing is as it came from the Makers hand.
One may travel for miles upon miles, and he is
still environed and shut in by walls of brick and
mortar "The earth that is under you" if you
are sure there is any, is stone, and as to "the
heaven that is over your head" you can see so
little of it, it is Il matter Of doubt whether it is
|" brass" or some other material. Nature is eli.
Their wholly shut out, or so tortured, and trim
med, and disfgured. as to be itself unnatural
"God made the country, but man made the
town." The fresh atmosphere is clouded with
smoke and dust, choked with the sterch of the
abodes of filth, perfumed and tainted with the
breath of biped and perambulatiDg volcanoes, bel
ching forth fire and tobacco smoke The horse
that trundles the numbering omnibus over the
pavement is trimmed, and locked, and nicked, till
he is no longer related to the SNARE with flow-
ing name" but is sort Of equine dandy mere
short-eared jackass. He has travelled upon cob
bic stones till he has lost all his freedom of ac-
ton, and his joints are like rusty hinges, only
moved by main strength, and only supplied by
continued motion. The very trees, the only
things that look at all like nature, seem to have
struggled up through the pavements by dint OF
exhausting effort. They look as if they had
the consumption, and one almost expects in
passing to hear them cough They are not
trees, they are more like dwarfsh, emasculated
crosses, between tree and nothing. | alb.
hor great city, as nature abhors a vacuum
With many good things, it is also hot bed
where iniquity attains an enormous growth.
"There every rogue may find fit adviser
And Beelzebub might go and be the wiser"
Give me the country, the fresh green coun.
try with its pure air, and pure morals, its simple
manners and healthy countenanccs, its natural
nature, and plenty of elbow room. But great
cities,
"Thither flow
AS to a common and most noisome sewer,
The dregs and feculence of every land.
In cities foul example on most minds
Begets its likeness. Rank abundance breeds
In gross and pampered cities, sloth and lust,
And wantonness and gluttonous excess.
In cities vice Is hidden with most ease,
| Or seen with least reproach; and virtue, taught
| BY frequent lapse, can hope no triumph there
| Beyond the achievement of successful flight"
! So, III out of it. My lot may be cast 10 Q

MEssRs EDIToRs.-As Railroads appearto be
the order Of the day, and in most localities this
topic being the all engrossing theme of discus
sion, at least in all important points within the
State, would it not be wise for yourselves and
your brother typos in Allcgan and other places
south, that might be mentioned, to make known
to the crest Of mankind" the advantages of
railroad on a route hitherto not publicly named
Thus setting forth the claims to preference and
the claims of citizens in this region of country
by prospecting somewhat upon our route.
1t appears to my mind railroad from this
place to AlIegan, from that point to Paw Paw
or Kalamazoo, or some station between the two,
from there south to Constantine, would accom-
modate and subserve the interests of much
larger portion of population and command a
much larger share of business than any other
route south from Grand River Tn fact it would
be the point in choice for most of northern and
western Michigan. There is adjacent to the
lake shore something over twenty sawmills,
north of and not including the mills upon
this river, near the mouth, that would be imme-
dately benefited by road upon this route
All the owners of these mills, necessarily are
at present closely connected with Chicago in
all their business relations. There, from neces-
sity they obtain all their supplies, however much
the articles may be above the general market
price. They do it for the reason they have
no means of getting into the farming country
on this side of the lake, to obtain such articles
as are consumed in abundance, by each and ev-
cry one of the large number of mills and the
numbering establishments connected Herewith,
which amount is no small item in the trade with
the people of Chicago. With suitable inlet,
or such communication as railroad would
give from this point to the interior of the State,
the surplus products of those portions Of the
State through which it passed, would find a
ready market. Large quantities of pork, beef,
grains, butter, &c, would always be sought
after here, for the lumber country, and distrbu-
ted among the numbering establishments thro'
the whole north, by the coasters on our shore.

Thus saving to our State very large sum an
nually, that is now given to the State of Hi
nois for the same articles such as all our farm
ers in the interior would gladly exchange for
lumber shingles, &C., to consdera1ne extent,
which could always here be suppleNDh quanti-
ties to IS suit purchasers" One thing more
A road upon this route would take in its wake
the extensive colony of Holanders, going d.
rectly through settlement where are already
located something like 1000 inhabitants. Large
accessions to their number is expected to this
now thriving community, which is soon to be-
come one of the most independent settlements
of tillers of the soil in our State. In no por-
ton of the State of Michigan has the forest
been felled by the strong arm Of the emigrant,
TO the extent of their wide cleared fields, with
in the same length of time. They will very
soon be able to send off more of the products
of the soil than Grand River has ever yet done.
A railroad would be to them "God send" in
deed, for they otherwise must remain shut out
from any such advantages.
Next comes the County Of Alegan, por-
from any good communication to place of
market. This would open direct opportunity
for them, both north and east, leading as. it
would to the great central thoroughfare at Kali
amazoo, or Paw Paw, would say.
Thus you see that almost the whole lumber
country would be accommodated. Indeed it is
the only route that would render them efficient
service in the transaction of their business and
the transportation of their supplies.
One thing more. Should the Oakland and
Ottawa road be pushed forward to completion,
and there is reason to think it will be, this point
will be the terminus, "provided always and on
this express condition." that it does not in its
path run against that insurmountable barrier
that is not susceptible of tunneling even, which
so effectualy and abruptly cut short the longi-
tude of Grand Rapids canal, much to the an
noyance and chagrin of our Ionia friends !;
blasting their prospects and rendering their
farming operations for years, if not until the
present time, Il vexatious loss beyond the am
cunt for home consumption. This being the
point of termination, it would make continu-
Gus and direct route to Chicago. Our Grand
Rapids friends would not be greatly discommo-
ded by this route. When travelling east, they of
course would 60 by Oakland and Ottawa road,
if west (and the travel at the present time is
far more west than east from western Michi-
GAM, there cannot be over an hours difference in
time TO Paw Paw, than their route south from
Grand Rapids.
| have hurredly thrown out these hints, hoping
you and all interested will look into the subject
and examine not my ground merely, but all
points of bearing connected Herewith. X
