RELIGIOUS REVIVAL Is PRIsos.-'The
preaching of clergyman who recently Wis.,
tied the Maryland Penitentiary, aroused
deep and serious feeling upon religion a.
mong the female convie,s. The Baltimore
Argus says:
For several days and nights the struggle
went on, some ofthem not eating anything
during that professionals of weeping and
praying were heard throughout the day and
night, and the warden with other friends,
PRAYED with the sufferers and exhorted them
to true repentance and faith. One by one
they have come forward expressing faith in
the merits OF the Savior, until, at this time,
some twenty odd have made profession Of
the power of redeeming grace. The ma
tron reports the marked and delightful
change in the conduct of those persons, who
seem to have been endowed with new
spirit, and to be filled with love and affec-
ton for each other, in place of their former
vicious propensities. Quietness and seri-
Gus thoughtfulness reign in this department
of the prison The work allotted the in
mates is done well and cheerfully, and there
is at present the manifestations Of vital
and permanent reform.

DR.. Sir:-During my
6rst DAYS ride from Davenport to this city,
the scenery met with. though variously un-
dulated and sublimely grond, presented still
such a sameness to the vision as to create
but little interest in the mind Of one 50 I'M
accustomed as am to notice the compare
tive ral,e Of land. Undoubtedly, however,
the country is unsurpassed in utility. But
that particular part of the face of the eartn
which lies be,w cen Maquoketa and Dubuque
is certainly the most beautiful and romantic
that Ihave ever seen, (being naftps hoosier'
and never having been in any but the !" est
crn States) Timber may be said to be
plenty, though thin--quite hilly-every va
ricty of scenery-huge chasm-, presenting
the appearance of having been formed by
some aconizing CONFUSION of Nature, tear
inc the earth asunder-then we would come
TO the skirts Of prairie, when, being on
high ground, we were enabled to obtain a
view for miles in every direction. and with
these enlarged rieps, were made to feel for
a moment (like Chicken Little, who thought
the world was coming to an end when a
leaf fell &c., we could "see all over the
world !"
And when we came into the mineral re-
cion-we ell, can't write it,--but the ridge
road-the deep valleys-the view from Ia
BILE Mounds--the great piles OF rock OF
Natural masonry, standing deserted, strong

the appearance of buildings, Dubuque is
ahead of Davenport, though it don't seem
more busy nor yet to cover so much ground.
1t is more solid-the buildings are generally
large and mostly of brick
| The islands in the river here have been
entirely strip ,ed of their timber-shame or
the perpetrators which has destroyed
much of the natural beauty of this point.
The proprie,ors of Dunleith are about
bringing their young giant city into market
and several buildings are in course Of erec-
ton. among which are large warehouse
very commodions brick hotel, Railroad
depot, &c.
The business men of Dubuque appear
quite jealous of their young rival city, and
seem willing and ready to do all they can to
