We do not keep record OF the run of the
Ocean Steamers to the hour and minute, our state
ments being derived from our Telegraphic reports,
and the Marine Lists of Eastern Ports, and beyond
giving the news, we take little interest in them
According TO the above statement Of an .'Irish pa
per-" it would appear that the quickest trip evel
made across the Atlantic was by the U. S. Steam
ship Arctic, but according to the preponderance
of statements in favor of the U. S. Steam ship
Baltic, her trip was still quicker, and an intelli-
gent English gentleman who has crossed the At.
lantic several times, informs us that he ascertain
ed his last trip, from reliable authority, that the
BGLtic's time was days and II hours. Make ev-
cry allowance asked, and the American vessels are
still the fastest, though the Eng fish ship Ar
aba promises, with some show of success, TO con-
tend for the palm.
The paragraph from the Nashville Wing we
gave without any particular examination only rec
olecting that we had seen the same OF similar
statements in several very respectable newspa-
perS, and do not endorse it bit further than il
is correct. The intimation that we "hate Eng
land'' is wholly gratutous, and as we have moi
either the pleasure of knowing mr. Purdon o,
recognizing his name among our subscribers (and
presume, therefore, that he is not reader of the
Inteligeneer) we do not see how he is prepared
to form an opinion as to our sentiments. For the

.FAYETTE SPRING, PENN
90. June 4th, 1858.

rH
Dear Mr.. Editor: am Just in refreshing mood
at present, and as am located in a region where
the perspiration will not inundate the paper YOU
write upon-as is the case in some cities know
OIL will be charitable aud scribe you few
lines from this delightfulr whence have fled
from the noisome dust and heat of the getty of mag
nifcent distances"
In few paris OF the globe, perhaps, can there be
selected spot that unites in SO high degree, the
excellencies of watering place, asFayette Sprng.
Regarding equally the poetcal, historical and pic
turesque features of the landscape, no where can
there be selected place more Astounding in inter
est. Situated as it is on the majestic and health
giving Alleghenles, from whose summit the traveller
gazes in wonder and admiration on the great VAL
ley of the West, retiring in undulating lines until
lost in the distant cerulan of the air. The scene
ny fere has no parallel III any have ever seen,
not excepting that for which the Hudson is so pro.
verbal; and some places along the Youghiogney
river, within a few miles of the Spring, assumes
grandeur that lanes and battles the powers of de.
scnpion and commands the awe of the most i'm
perious soul. Among the curiosities Immediately
surrounding the Spring are the. Cataract of Gu
cumber, the Ohiopi Falls, Delany's Gave, which
llas been explored for miles. the graves of Generals
DiduuoCh dHn Necessity, Silver
Spring, and Dunbar's Encampment. History has in
deed made consecrate this SOIL Tor here lies the first
battle field of Washington, arresting the reverent
contemplation of the American, and the interest of
every traveller. Even to this day the ploughshare
of the honest mountaineer upturns many evidences
OF that fearful fray where the best blood of
the English army was sacrificed by the rashness of
Braddock No monument of marble ears its form
over the slain.o burhens the sod to tell sths path
of glory leads but to the grave,'' and no requiem
was ever heard over their wild and solitary beds
but the wailing of the mountain winds through the
tangled verdure of the forest, or the dash of the
passing storm.
One afternoon party of us made an excursion
to this place. The sun was just setting when we
reached it, and threw mellow, subdued and half
melancholy glory over scene fraught with myriad
"reminiscences of the olden Time-,a time wnen
our ancestors struggled for home where we might
undisturbed swell devoton's song and drop devo-
TONS tear -f
Leaving my horse, wandered insensibly from
my companions, and setting down OH decayed
log let retrospection and anticipation alternately
possess my heart.

-J3We have not time owing TO the pressure of
other matters to bestow upon Jonas more than a
passing notice, and indeed were we to look to his
argument rather than to his play. weshould find
nothing to which TO respond. As he does not
name our Supposed nris-statements, we can neither
correct them or show his error, but may be allow
ed to presume that in this instance Jonas is like
the County Court, guessing. and shall leave him
to his habits.
As 10 the daily habits of our friend Jonas of con-
sultng lawyers, may answer his question in
two ways, frst that he forgot to give his lawyer
fee, (Which all admit brightens up the lawyers
faculties very much) or secondly that his case is
brought in the County Court, and he is guessed
out of Court, and this readily accounts for the an
ger of jonas lawyer. We certainly, must and d.
allow the County Court s'to guess little" nay
more, allow them TO guess all the time, and
know that from the very nature fittings that is all
they can do, and we 10 not blame them for it, but
We do blame the Legislature for imposing upon
this Count duties, which from the very nature Of
things, il is wholly impossible for them 10 perform.
This has been from the FIRST, and is yet our great
objection TO the system, (for we have none TO the
men, who certainly do their best) and we ask, hae
jonas answered it. or attempted a responseY We
do not say that the Circuit and Supreme Court are
infsllible, that would be absurd and contrary 10

EDITOR WHEELING INTELLIGENCER:
!Sir:-It is an old saying that the Devil is
entitled 10 his due. However much you may
hate England, your English readers think you are
bound in courtesy TO speak the truth of them and
their country. The following paragraph you in
Sert from the NashoiHe Wig:
ENGLAND VS.. AaERIcA.--The late quick passage
of the Collins steamer Atlantic has given the fl
nal blow to the supremacy of John Bull over the
waves. Each vessel of the now victorious Amer
lean line has made the passage across the Atlantic
ocean in less than ten days. the shortest trip being
that OF the Baltic, which occupied 9 days and 10
hours aud 10 minutes, whilst OH the other hand
the Cunarders have never yet made the run under
ten, thei1 shortest time being 10 days and 10 mil-
ute.
Com are this with the following, from an Irish
paper of May 18th, 1858:
ARRIVAL OF THE Saturday,
The Royal mail steam ship Arabia, Commodore
Judklns, comma nder, arrived off Holyhead this
morning about IL O'Clock, and entered the MerSey
ut 4j minutes past p. NJ, after magnificent run
of9 days22 hours and 81 minutes, from New York,
performance unprecedented by the Cunard line,
and only excelled by the o. S. ship, Arctic'S
extraordinary passage in February, 1852, of days
10 hours.
From this it is clear that the Nashville IYhig has
made at least two false statements. Ist. The BAL
tic never made the run in days, 10 h. and Is m.,
the arctic however made itin 9 days and & hours.
End. The Cundarder has performed the voyage uu,
der ten, as the Ara6ia is shown to have done it in
days % h. and 81 M, being 3h. 81 m, more than
the Arctic.
Again in the very number of the IntelIi-
gencer from which make the above extract, l
find under Telegraph News the following 1.-THE
Arctic arrived at o'clock on Sunday morning
further down The arabia arrived, MAY BY at /
past IL, with Liverpool dates 10 the 2lst' From
the 18th of May. the date of the Arctic's last de-
partnre from Liverpool, to Sunday. 29th May, is
days. being the Arctic's time. From May 81, to
May 81, is 10 days. the Arabia's time. So that III
the last voyage recorded, the British steamship
arabia, has beaten the U. S. steamship Arctic one
day.
Injustice expect you will publish this letter.
Yours, &C., EDWARD PURDON.
