Columbus iS noble Capital Of a noble State
We stayed night and half o day here. W.
visited the PepitenlisTy, the Lunatle. Asylu IA,
the Asylun for the Blind and also the one fcr
1.-The Deaf and Dumb. These several asylums
are very large and comInodious strrctnres
lparticularly that for the insane. But theil
chief recommendation 70 my mind is the On
lsrgsd yieEs OF beneyclance IN our people to
4 which they give expression. We were very
much pleased indeed with our visit 10 them
The Kindness and care with which they are
kept and the cleanliness and comparative com.
fort WhIoh the inmates enjoy, must be a great
relief TO their otherwise lonely and wretched
condition. From the Instructions which they
receive here, they are ensblsd 70 read and
swrits, and are thRs brought into social inter-
course 1Rilh their fellow beings and enabled 70
enjoy the present, but most Of all 10 know OF
\ and prepare for future state.
4 Pie State Prison contained, the day we
were there, q67 inmates. about one hundred
Of them are employed on the New Capitol.
about thirty are in the hospital sick, and the
remainder are engaged in the immense row, Of
work shops connected with this institution. l
have much to say about this establishment,
butI have net the,ti northe room to say it
now From the-tOplotths principal building
we had Q splendid view Of the city which lieth

but the cupoEa is not flushed, nor either Of the
entrances. The interior is hardly conomenced, !,
and il is supposed that II one hundred hands

design, The entire strpcture is, Of limestone,
Of y very superior quality, which is obtained

At Que O'Clock p M. Of Thqrsdsy, the I 9th,
we left Golumbns for Cincinnati distance Of
Ia0 miles. which We performed by 6Ee,P NJ
running ct the rate of 80 miles an hour, The.
character al tho country for the FIRST ten on
fifteeii miles froni Columbus, was very similar
TO what We had passed through for aboAt the
same dstance bsfDrsreaehlng it-vleEsb gch,
