Beauty of the Ohio.

Bayard Taylor, the great traveller, il
a recent letter to the New York Trib
une, thus speaks of the Ohio river:
"My experience of the Ohio river be-
low Louisville confirmed the impression
| had received from seeing it above that
city. Its name best expresses its char
acter-the Beautiful River. We have
grander and more majestic streams, but
none of such graceful loveliness. Its
banks resemble on a broader scale the
soft pastoral landscapes Of the German
Neckar and Main Meandering through
its whole course, it presents consta mt
succession of curves, to which its gently
rounded hills accord with as true har-
mony as that of some perfect strain of
music. 1t is beauty that never wea-
ries, but grows upon the sense more and
more,

have done your heart good to have
heard 1t was instantaneous, as if pro-
duced by some magic. Tufts of grass
will show from whence the wind blows,
and in this instance there can be no mis-
taking it.
Mr.. Willy then dwelt at some length
on National affairs, in a fair, dignifed
manner; no appeal to prejudice and pas
sion; no giving of hard napes and spi
cling with epithets, like his colleague,
Mr.. Carlile.. The truth is, was agree
ably disappointed. ..
Mr.. Willy is far ADLER speaker than
[ expected him to be, and he seemed to
feel what he said. He gave the stone,
which is rolling already, tremendous
push, and the crash which will forever
remove the blight from this State, to be
followed by others, will soon be heard.
I was sorry that circumstances prevented
me from hearing him out, but he fin
ished soon after I left.

lieve that the chiee end of man is ssnig
GER attempted to set Carlile right; but
from the hooting and groaning 1 heard
bo ha T ch
judge his audience did not appreciate
his effort.
A gentleman from the neighboring
county, Doddridge, took the stump after
him, who gave his predecessor, Carlile,
and the secesh generally, Gifts" The
latter speaker had been, before the re-
bellion broke out, wheel horse Of De-
mocracy in his county, but is trying
now, with might and main, to make good
what he sinned in former years, for
when the leaders turned at that critical
time to the left, he turned to the right,
and by so doing saved, through his in
fuence, large majority of the citizens
Of his county from the whirlpool of Sc
cession. All honor to such man.
In the evening, portion of the SSth
o. Reg't, stationed here, paraded the
streets in honor of the distinguished
speaker, Mr.. Willy. Although exhaust
ed from his previous labor, he neverthe-
less consented to make them a speech,
and capital one it was, long to be re-
membered by the sturdy sons of Ohio
who compose the Regiment. He was
rewarded by numerous lusty cheers,
given with will; and so ended the day
which will not soon be forgotten by
those who had the fortune to hear SEN
ator Willy.
Last Friday (l5th) brought another
large crowd to town, being mastering
day. Governor Pierpont being in town,
he made the militia speech in the af-
ternoon, to assist recruiting; and from
the large number of names the different
recruiting officers obtained during the
day, [ should judge his labors were not
in vain. [ believe this county will fur
nish two or three companies to finish
rebellion.
I was prevented from hearing the
Governors speech, but from some re-
marks I overheard couple Of secesh
sympathizers and conditional Union men
make, inferred he did not say anything
to console the discem6tted secesh. He
is for a vigorous prosecution of the war,
for employing all the means to finish
the ''big job as speedily as possible,
which is also the earnest wish of your
subscriber. -
