orally feastsd On the most beautiful Landscape 1
scenery I ever beheld. The railroad we rode
over rams along the bank Of the romantic
susuuehanna for fifteen miles, and then Oh 1
versss nom it, passing through the most
thoroughly cultivated section OF country 70
the Union. Not q stump could be seen IN
the smooth velvety green aelds. Here and
there a ponderous barn, built with huge pro-
iecting sheds, painted and kept in perfect re-
psit. spoke Of the thrift O. the inhabitants
The country is old, but kept in a high state
Of scientific cultivation by the Pennsylvania
Dutch farmers. What a pity onr Western
farmers do not pattern ere. their Penna-
mite brethren, In their mode Of farming. l
think that the best step orr Agricultural So

Pennsylvania between Ha-risburgh and Phil
aaelphis and the Maryland State line, and
see for themselves the improved mode OF

Afte- leaving Pennsylvania and crossing
into Maryland, we began 70 realize the exist
enee of war in our midst. At every bridge
and curve q guard of cur volunteers were
rlacad 10 protect the road. These brave fel'
. lows hunger after the Esws Of the day as
much and more than civilians, and as the
h- cars passed them we amused ourselves by
be droppinq a newspaper amongst them and
N seeing them scramble foe the possession OF
. the prize. Gathering up all tie papers in the
Vi cars. we circulated in this way some thirty
ed ar forty copies of "Times,' "Tribunes,
re aHe1alds," and other papers, at the different
I. guard stations, and enjoyed seeing them
scramble as much as Baron Rothschlld DID
the fight amongst the beggars, for possession
10. of the guineas he WAS in the habit OF throw
ing amongst them.
We reached Baltimore this afternoon, bu

lists in the streets of Baltimore searching tG

tent mens, for the purpose of lynching him.
tiI Then the city as well as the State was in
am state of anarchy-railroad tracks were tor

In coming from Baltimore to this city, /
the evidences Of our being in a stale of war ca
