scenery that there so oft astonshes the
vision and bewilders the mind of poor IL
mite man, as he is brought seemingly in
close proximity to the Great Creator
through his most marvellous works. No
where in all my sojournings have | on
loyed a greater feast in viewing nature
than while passing along the rough de-
clvities, through narrow gorges of cloud
capped hills, beside the purling rils, lofty
cascades, through deep tunnels, dark OK
cavations, with granite walls high piled
ON either side, and over plains smiling
with fertility, that follow each other in
quick succession on tho way from Spring
field to Albany. TO particularize places
or incidents GENERALLY would require too
much time and space. Allow me only
to hint at few matters relative to men
and pursuits. And first as respects
THE WAR.
am much surprised to find, even i'll
Connecticut and Massachusetts,, men, not
few in number, whose sympathes are
not with our Government, who do not
endorse the policy Of the Administration
relative TO the rebellious, and who cXult
openly at the defeat that our army has so
recently suffered ut Bulls Run, while so
much unanimity of feeling seems to exist
in our own and other Western States, rs
to the expcdency of the policy adopted
and partially carried out already for the
suppression OF treason.
How shall we account for the difference ?
can not satisfy my own mind on this
point only on tho ground that the pockets
of our Eastern Brethren are seriously af-
fecled by the general stagnntion of man
ufacturing enterprises consequent upon
the War and kindred causes. AS pre-
yiously minated, but few manufacturing
establishments arc in operation at present
in New England, save those engaged it
furnishing military goods-clothing, ord
nance, equipments, &c. Thousands upoI
thousands Of operatives are out of EN-
ployment, and, in many cases, destitute .
the means of n comfortable subsistence
for themselves and families, and no othe
business offers to which they can turf
their hand TO better their condition.
Farmers and others hitherto engaged il
furnishing those operatives with food
raiment, &c, find the profits of trade YER
much reduced, and the Administrator
and the War arc blamed for the unpleas
ant condition of affairs. And so l an
constrained TO believe that in many in
stances the love of money is the root c
this as well rs Of many other evils. Not
outstanding, must confess that i hay

almost deserted, where few months ag
the click of machinery and the hum {
shafts and spindles gave notes of success
full business operations, and thousands {
faces bore evidence of the "good tim
come" But Row all is still as the char
Der Of death; and the few inhabitant
that remain arc subjected, in many il
stances, to all the disquietudc and wan
that arises from being "Out Of employ
ment."
But the want of loyalty above spoke
of is the exception and not the rule
New England has
RESPONDED MOLLY
TO the call for men and money. Mas:
achusetts, first in the field, and ever minc
full of Bunker Hill, has furnished reg
ment after regiment to the defence of th
National Capital and the Government
Tho Governor Of Rhode Island marche
at tho head of her troops and engage
with them in the thickcst of tho fgh
clothing and equipping many of them q
his own expense. Connecticut and Ne'
Hampshire, Vermont and Maine, are nc
behind in deeds of loyalty, and since tn
defeat Of the federal forces in the LAT
disastrous and ill-timed engagement, fror
every hilltop and vale, shouts for tn
Constitution and the Government NJ
long and loud, and thousands of the stu
dy sons of puritan fathers stand ready
exchange the reaper and the plough fC
the muskct and cannon, at any momer
when their country needs their service
The Governor Of New York has just i
sued proclamation for
TWENTY-FIVE REGIMENTS
OF recruits, and the call is meotir
with n hearty response. The men will !
forth coming without a second call.
