from some lordly height when they deign to
speak to guest who is not known to their "cir-
Gle" The pretty town of Marietta is destined
to receive, through the National House, many
a visit from those who have heretofore passed it
by on account of the hotels.
Leaving Marietta on Friday, VIC arrived in
Cincinnati on Sunday evening after very slow
but pleasant passage on board the steamer Balti-
more, Capt. Kerr, very pleasant gentleman,
as arc also the subordinate officers. Our de-.
tention was owing to the wind which, for a pc
Rod Of some three days, blew almost gale, and
seemed to persist in keeping stern wheeled
boats wrong end foremost, despite the efforts of
pilot, engineer and everybody else.
If your correspondent had had his accounts
squared up and ready for settlement in the next
world he might have taken passage on the Ma
rietta Railroad for Cincinnati; but as he did not
feel safe at present starting on journey through
the clark valley" and knowing that if he
should be so unfortunate as to have a limb brOks
concern, he thought it wise to do as other folks,
and take the safest roulette river. There are
accidents happening on that road at present,
which not only show "a lack of "funds," but an
equal want of gOOd ju1gmcnt This is known
to those who travel over it Onee, and like your
correspondent ego round" next time. A very
intelligent gentleman from Cincinnati, who had
taken the boat on his return home, remarked
that he wished certain editor of their city,
could 'be compelled to travel over the Marietta
& Cincinnati Railroad, constantly, for the Space
of about onemonth." But consider thatmore
than is necessary, for if he really does not wish
to ''exterminate" the aforesaid editor he will
find one trip quite sufficient. He charges this
''knight of the quill" with having sOld out to
the interests of this concern, and honestly,
believe it.
"PorkapoIis,' generally quite bustling kind
of town, seems TO be pretty much fattened
out at present and looks somewhat like unto
other places. So far rs hogs and whisky are
concerned, Cincinnati is undoubtedly the "Queen
City of the West"
Louisville, has always been your cOrrespon-
dents beGW idsaL of pleasant place TO live, the
'riots fires and murders" which we see so Of
ten spoken of as occurring here, ITO the contrary
There is sociability and
never met with to the same extent in any other
place, outside the "Old Dominion" and but
seldom even there With all the many crimes
laid to the charge of this people by those at a.
distance, who follow the hne and cry raised by
n portion of the Louisville press, against their
own citizens, l have to discover so much crime
here as in other cities. The faults of the city
are interchangeable so much to bad state of NOR
als-as is the case in other parts of the country
as they are to the high spirited, sensitive nut
tures which they possess. Here, every man is
considered gentleman. until it is clearly ascer-
taned that he is not, whilst Utmost other places,
and all northern cities, every stranger is dis
reputable character until he clearly proves the
contrary.
