Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, Va. [W. Va.]) 1852-1859, 1857-09-18

on Monday last at 10 a. al, thinking llke
a great many other people, ''who are well, but
wish to be better, : that stsea voyage. would
lie beneficial, or at least tioadJl took pas
iage on board the steamer kennebec, for New
York. Going down the bay was certainly de.
tliehtful, and proved to be everything desired
until we reached Cape May, that summer resort
! for 50 many people, who hare more money thar
brains, andinot much Of either; the place where
EcolIapsins merchants go to keep mp appearances
where the Miss Elinsics go TO set their traps
followed by The young sswells who go there to
cut a dash, but where no sensible man, who Is
really al invalid, ever goes twice We reached
The Jane 81 8 p. NJ. distant from Philadelphia,
1870 miles, and entered upon the broad Atlantic.

Here the swelIs overlook us and they are GER
Etaiuly very sickGning, even5more SO than the
tiswells" we 50 often meet with on dry land
This up and dowunotion is avery pleasant one
for short distance, but il is attended with very
peculiar sensations when prolonged for over one
hundred miles. We had not proceeded far after
leaving the Cape before some one in nm adioin'
ing stall room sang out, New York, New
York chimed in another, and another, and still
tanother until Gotham was hailed from every
quarter In the midst Of this your orrespondi
tent WAS enjoying himself amazingly with the
idea that he was snot ike other people But
alasl how our brightest prospects some times
fade away. "a peculiar fulHesS about the throat,
ATTENDED with y curious kind of squeezing
fsensaton in the region of the stomach, seized
upon hilnsYeTy suddenly; when all at once he
Etoo joined in the cry, that already resounded
through out the Cabin, and helped to kccpitup
far into the night.
Half past nine, Inesday morning, found me
insSew York, with headache and feelings of a
kind of s.goneness" all over, thinking of the
fashionab Die folks who cross the ocean for pleas
lure, aud the boy who set the dog ON his father:
Hold 5hin Growler bear it father, may be
hard for yOii, hut it will be the making of the
pup So thoughtI, 1t is with those who cross
the Atlantic, and travel through the filth and
confusion of Europe for s!pleaSure," Hold on
stomach, Bear it constitution, it may be hard
lforyoa, butt will be the making Of pride aid
vanity.
+ The city Of New York--this wilderness, Of
Ihouses-this sea of people-why, it looks like
every body was rushing through every street at
THE same lime, each trying TO oyertake the 9TH
er, and trample him under foot; or rs IT the ln-
habitants were, fleeing some desperate calmIty
/ that was about to ,overtako them. We'll, this
\ last might in truth happen, were it, not that
they certainly must have at least fire righteous
men in the place, which, according to Scripture,
arc sufficient to turn aside the fate that bete
1.-THE cities of the plain. If this were not so, y
fear that the people Of n thousand years hence
would be sailing upon another Dead Sea, and
fishing for relics OF once mighty, but long
since submerged city.
T.. OF course tooksa stroll through Gamblers
flame, as should call it, better known as Wall
Street, that gulf Of dispair where the big fish
iSwalow the little ones, and where the little hS,
MS has been recently tho case, sometimes sw9l.
How the big ones. Here the cry of weeping and
jwailing, and some gnashing OF teeth may be
heard and seen, about this time, for Wall Street
