CINCINNATI, June LIST, 1856.
Mr.. COMET III you will give me a
hearing, will send you occasionally an
account Of some of the perils and pleasures
Of travelling. have taken route through
the interior of Illinois and Indiana, from
St. Louis, different from the main thorough
fare to New York, which perhaps, will
enable me to give some thing more inter-
esting than if | followed the old beaten
tract. | was much disappointed in the
appearance of st Louis. 1t is dirty, dusty,
greasy and ngly.looking town; few dry
goods stores, but almost every square is
dotted with an iron foundry, and steamboat
mandatory. There are only Is churches
in the place, which accounts no doubt
for It's drearY aspect or its exceedingly
christian morals. The people are IN per-
feet state Of frenzy on the Kansas question
large companies frsm north and south
leave almost every week, for the seat OF
war or domestic instruction.
There are more tree-soilers or down.
right abolitionists in this country than is
generally imagined, and they make no sec
ret OF their opinion Of Southern people and
southern institutions | have heard it as
serted by men of the first class of inteli-
gence, that If Mr.. Fillmore was out of the
field, Fremont would beat Buchanan by a
large majority. This appeared to me very
ridiculous, but fanticism has blinded thous-
ands whose only desire is to abolish slavery
Very little is said, of Mr.. Fillmore, any
way, but those who mention him at all,
speak OF him as perfect gentleman A
large number of old line Wings will sup
port him, and also the American party
almost to man. All the batteries of in
vective and abuse are leyeled against the
odlous pro-siavery Cincinnati Democratic
Platform. Against Mr.. Buchanan-per-
sonally, there is nothing; for several of
his abolition speeches are published to
show that he is a sound northern man, but
since subscribing to southern principles;
he Is denounced as traitor to his party
and country. With all candor and with
out any special party prejudice, or predi-
lections, think Mr.. Fillmore will carry
majority of the northern States.
| have just visited the tomb of Gen.
VIM. HARRISON, the Wing President of
1910. 1t an outrage, that party or
country, could so far forget one of its heroes
OF to suffer his grave to lie exposed in the
woods with scarcely any protection. His
late residence is something like Gen. Tay-
To-: in the Garrison at Baton Rouge. 1t is
situated about fifteen miles below this
place, on a little hill commanding a vie ~
of the Ohio river.
| called at U. flames & Co., publishers
this morning and they speak in the highest
terms Of Red Stick,n and say it has
better run than any book they have ever
published.
Longley's J" Type Of the Times,n is doing
a large business. | was overawned,-
thunder struck and confused, when found
myself in the midst of hundred pretty
girls, setting type, binding books and keep
ing accounts. | wondered what the
Comets typos would think if such COM
petition was raised between boys and
girls in Baton Rouge If such was the
case, your editorial desk would groan with
poetry-love-si sick tales and gratuitous con-
tributions, from young aspirants of the
gender, whose only ambition is
to conquer some female heart.
The Astronomical observatory is in a
1eplorable candition. Professor Mitchell,
has gone to Rail Road Specializing, and the
telescope and its accompaniment are all
out of order. 1t is situated on a hill COM
cite of the whole city. This
IS very clean, neat and enterprising town.
IKE people if properly introduced are pleas
ant, social and accommodating.
Most Respectfully.
BLANERHAssETTE.
