CLEVELAND, Tuesday evening, Sept. %.
As you nre aware, your correspondent left
Wheeling on the early train yesterday morning,
and as n consequence while on his way 10 the
depot, experienced several of the shiyers Incl
dent to that hour of the day ut this season of
the year. However, the sigh of regret for the
warm bed behind, when once seated by the
warm stove in the cars, soon expanded into
compiacent smile. At Benwood we were called
upon to take another airing, and owing to the

remark, or il deliberate, very silly one, which
was, that Mr. Fremont would carry every North

not speaking scntimentally, but rather ex-otli-

At Newark we changed cars for Shelby
Can't say that we made much by the transfer,
yet went on very comfortably and arrived in
Shelby in time for dinner. Here again changed
and took the train from Cincinnati, which came
up every car crowded We got in, put threein

PEELED to stand up At precisely three o'clock
we were let down at the depot and from thence
picked up and distributed through the various
hotels of the thrifty, busting Yankee City. At
the Weddell and American there was a rush at
the offices for rooms. After many long parleys
and calculations We were accommodated in pro-
portion to the length of time we were going to
stay; aud of course those who were going to
leave the most change had the preferences
Your correspondent by an uncertain migratory,
