Having occasion few days aimee to come to the
Queen City concluded to try the Southern route,
instead o. coming by the Erie or the New York
Central Railroad. Consequently at Baltimore took
the cars on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for
Wheeling. Some ten years since had passed over
this road when it was completed - far as Cumber-
land, and thence by stage on the old National road.
The vivid Impressions Of the beautiful and sublims
scenery were still fresh in memory, and as we al at
times desire to revisit the home Of QUE childhood or
the scenes of early days, 30 longed l to again
feast my eyes with view Of the lofty peaks the
ragged clifs, the dashing waterfalls and the thou
sand beautiful landscapes one can see in crossing
the Alleahanies and the Blue Ridge. As We dashed
on through vales the wide spreading fields of gold
en- harvest seemed to rejoice In their own treasurer
across streams sparkling in the sunlight, up or
through hills and mountains, each one would EN-.
brace ID with cool and delicious breeze. Such
scenery, route nearly free from the annoyancss
Of dust, with good company such as ! had,
and gentlenanly conductors, ever ready to
point the traveller to tho beautiful aud sub.
lime, cannot fail to make the tourist not only
feel that his journey is endurable, but real source
Of enjoyment. From Cumberland 70 Wheeling tbs

fore en- by these mortal eyes, and, If possible, is
far more grand and sublime than the eastern section.
There are some very heavy grades upon the western
part Of this r0ad-one, seventeen miles In Icing ID,
and part OF 1t ct the rate OF one hundred feet grade
to the mile. Eo9ines Of sufficient power to easily
manage twenty two freight cars, fa!ly loaded, have
been pul on the road, and In few hours we passed

me- pse business The time occupied in passing over
this road, in coming to the West, Ia few hours
more than that by the Erie road; but any one wac
has desire to behold tho beauties OF mountain
this route. Il Is generally admitted to b. the most
romantic road in America, and my advice to all
tourists is, to take at least one ride over it.
All business In thus great Agricultural stase ID
are grooming under the weight Of unusually good
crops. Better crops were never raised than taose
Of tne seaaon. The wheat crop Is now SAFE and no.
thirg but long continued drought can prevent
dant ss the wheat. The high prices OF provisions
have induced every farmer to raise ss much wneat
aid com 81 possible. 4 gentleman from the
country told me this morning thai in bis own county
there were ten thousand more acres Of planted
than last year. II the other counties in the State
have incre ased their corn fields propor.ionately, 1t
win make difference Of some two or three mil
lion bushels in the corn crop alone. Wnen wetake
into consde ration that all the Western States are
alike aroused as to the prof Of agricultural pur-
sute We can begin TO see how the warning millions

the offer to deliver, this fail, large quantities Of
whe at in this city at one dollar per bushe has been
declined by dealers.
Political excitement, like the weather, is getting

be the last man who should be elevated to such an
0face on account Of his ultra abolition sentiments
yet, unless the American party make speedy and
judicious nomination, Salmon p. Chase will be the
next Governor Of the Buckeye State. The repubi
cans contend tina. the Know Nothings are ia duty
bound to support Mr.. Chase, because nearly all the
rest Of the ticket is made up Of those known to
belong to the American party. As the people are
