"reminiscences of Baltimore are TO be met AZ
every turn among the Railroads Of the Vest
On reaching the depot at Steubenvile, there
was standing dd'tho track powerful freight en-
gine, about starting with heavy train, called
the Robert Garrett" and again on reaching
the Central road took the train down by the
fastest locomotive on the road, called the, "Chaua
cey Brooks" The agent of the Steubcnville
and Indiana Road at Steubenville, found to be
Mr.. John P. Nelson, FORMERLY a conductor on
the Susquehanna Railroad and the Master Of
mach. merry, Mr.. Thomas DenTead; also former
guarantee of ability for the post he occupies
On taking scat in the cars heard a .aii;sssi:Es saii;sssii:Es
voice say, ticket sr,n and on looking up, there
stood before me, Captain William D. Scott, for
twenty years conductor on the Baltimore and
Susquehanna Railroad, and 20 extensively and
favorably known along the whole line of the
road from Baltimore to Harrisburgh. He has
already become great avorite with the travel
ing public in this section Of the country, and is
regarded by Railrodd men as having no superior
as careful gcntlemanly, and experienced con-
ductor. Mr.. Whittier, the master Of the Steu-
benville and Indiana Road, is also from the
neighborhood of Baltimore having held the
same position on the York and Cumberland
Road, the entire track of which he baliasted; and
which still stands as test Of his superior ability.
On the Central Ohio Road, the first conductor
met, Mr. Isaac Manor was also an old Baltmo
rean, and he has proved most efficient officer.
Mr. Thatcher Perkins, the superintendent of
the Central Ohio is also Baltimorean, and
most favorably known as an efficient sfficer; and
an accomplished mechanic.
As the bonds ofthe Steubenville and Indiana
Railroad,are to a very large amount, held in Bal
timore and the Northern cities, took some
pains to inquire the opinion of gentlemen con-
ncctcd with other 'oads; as to its prospect df
trade and travel, on the completion Of its con-
nexons to Pittsburgh In reply to my queries
| was everywhere assured that it will undoubt-
cdly rank among the most popular routes, be-
tween the West and the East, the grades being
light, and the distance over it from Cincinnati to
Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore Cby way
of the Northern Central as short, ifnot a little
shorter, than by the most favored Of existing
lines. This is the opinion here, which give
for what it might be worth--those directly in
terested can take map and examine, or what
would perhaps be bettcr come out and make q
personal inspection for themselves. la
! Among the most agreeable acquaintance,
made at Steubenville, was that Of Colonel James
Collier formerly collector Of San Francisco who
after rowing over the entire continent, has re-
turned to spend the balance of his days among
the beautiful and verdant hills of Steubenville,
the home of his youth, and he considers it still
the most magnificent spot lie has seen in his
travels. The Colonel having succeeded in clear
ing his escutcheon of the charge of being a de-
Glillter to the government-thc government ha-
wing been found to be defaulter to him in the
sum of Slo,000-is highly esteemed by his fel-
low citizens, occupying the position of director
of the Railroad, President of the Citizens Bank
&C., one of the most valuable deposits in the
vaults of which is the richly chased and mas
siye gold salver and goblet, presented him the
Merchants of San Francisco, as an evidence of
their estimation of hinf as an honest MAN and a
good citizen, and their appreciation Of the charge
made glinst his fair name. On examining the
beautifully engraved inscriptions on the salvcr
and goblet, was again reminded Of Baltimore,
nby a remark by gertlerfan standing by that
he would wager there was but one man in the
United States that could do such engraving as
that, ara he was Colonel James M. Anderson Of
Baltimore which pas proved to be the case.
Cincinnati is reported to be oyerfiowing with
strangers, but having secured quarters iii ad-
