TRAITORS IN ALABAMA.-Some time ago we :ere
surprised to notice in a TuScumbia Ala paper an
account of raid that place mainly by Ala
bamans in the Yankee service. We are again sur
prsed to see in the Montgomery Ala Adcert, ser
that 200 of the Yankees captured in Forests Ia te
b6lliant expedition are Alabamians. Still MOI e
surprising is it that these occurrences lead to nt'
abuse of Alabama. The Richmond Enquirer pub-
fishes such items in tele egraphic dispatch, and has
not a word of remark upon them. Fortunate Ala
bamiansl Unfortunate Ekaquirert What God
send if these things could only happen in North
Carolina !-BdyetteUiIe Obs.rUer.
Alabama is not abused because Alabama is con-.
trQlled by original secessionists. The Richmond
Enquirer and those whom it serves, would if the.y
had the power, infct on the old Union men or COIL
serVatives of North Carolina a mnch' worse Ate
than that inflicted by Lincoln on the national Dem
ocrats of the North. Even if we of the ScIsth
should be so fortunate as to emerge from our pres
ent struggles an independent people, there ID no
certainty that we shall escape bloods he'd her at
home Those who talk about furnishing some Con-
serRatEes and hanging" others, wiU be mel, not
by words, but by arms, if necessary. This tate,
for example, If in the hands of the Dest.uc'.ives,
would most probably bo soon involved in civil,
strife for the Conservatives would not submit
quietly 10 the reign of terror which they sToCld at
tempt to establish. They 0he Conservativ as, would
not be responsible for such state of things ~ they
are not responsible for the present war.

ALLEGHANY MOUNTAINS, |
Aug. 2S, 1853. g.


7othe Editor Of the Press ssaIiraF
To person crossing the Alleghanies for the
first time, there Is very much of interest in
the splendid triumph Of engineering art, and
the more magnificent works of nature Leay-
ing Pittsburg on the 4 p. NJ. train yesterday,
we came out through the fine hill country
which fianks the mountain ridges, intending
70 stop at some of the higher stations which
might be reached before dark. Determined,
however, to lose nothing of the mountain
scenery, we stopped at Evansville. At this
9ulet and thriving village a little removed
from ihe great road, is situated the Evansville
!emaie seminary, for the past ten years UNI
ger tne care Of Rev. S. H. Shepley, for some
years frlncipal OF the Yarmouth Academy.
Inc cordial greetings of former teacher and
his accomplished lady, and the revival OF old
memories, were ample compensation for
forced delay. Mr.. and Mrs. Shepley are filling
their places with the highest success, reaping
all sorts OF rewards for their manifold faitbfnl
labors.
Gainesville is near the foot of Chestnut
ridge which we have just crossed through
narrow defile which nature has kindly left
open as highway. Through this magnificent
gorge runs the Connenaugh river, the public
ROAD, ine Pennsylvania canal of former fame,
now disused In this section; and above it, cut
into tne mountain side, is the railroad track
80 "eu We are passing. The next ridge
Wnlcn we cross bears the name OF Laurel hill,
anu s.ep nigher in the ascending grade Of
the Allegheny ranges The northern side NJ
the gorge is heavily wooded sheer down to the
waters edge; while the cliffs on the southern
or railroad side, almost literally overhang us
as we pass. Our fayorite position-in the rear
OF the last car In seat reversed. or stand
upon the platform-gives us fine panorama
OF the winding way and its ever shifting and
marvellous beauties. 'N
At Gambia we pass the most extensive iron
works in the country. Iron, coal and lime are
quarried in the mountain sides near by. and
the smelling and rolling are carried on upon
the largest scale. Sixty tons Of railroad iron
are daily turned out at this place. r. f.sg
RAISING onward and upward, we see traces
OF the OLD portage road" known to travellers
o. an earlier day as the mountain highway be-
tween the eastern and western sections of the

canal. This portage with its slow coaches and
| its stationary engines, is now abandoned rem
dered wholly useless by the iron horse, who
snorts and spurns it as he careers past its old
walks and inclined planes.
Al Cresson is a fine hotel, crowded with
summer visitors. The ladies and gentlemen
on the lawn that slopes down to the station
show all the signs of happy summer loungers.
We now reach Gallitrin, the highest point
OF the Alleghanies, crossed by the railway and
the entrance to the great tunnel, nearly 1000
ieet In length. Shooting again into daylight,
we pass along the edge OF a very deep gorge
down whose PERCEPTIONS sides one is made
dizzy by gazing. Passing down this gorge by
grade Of about 10c feet to the mill, we sud-
denly turn upon our track and run in drec-
tion nearly opposite, thus doubling this sunk
en- cape by piece Of mastery engineering
and a vast expenditure OF labor.
The bordering scenery is gorgeous beyond
description. Pardon wicked pun amid these
sublime surroundings. We pass through some
very heavy cuts which show the strata highly
inclined, the dip being eastward from the ridge
OF the mountain, and showing the line of up
heaval. The geologist revels in these noun
tain cuts. But your correspondent has no ge-
ology to infiict upon your readers. His OBJ
servations in this direction, along with his
waysde rocks, he will pocket for other uses
AT Altoona, short distance down the East
ern slope, are very extensive repair-shops Of
the Railroad Company, very large first class
hotel, and all the marks of thrift and energy.
Here the loyal Governors of many States met
In solemn conclave year ago, and swore to
stand by the government in sustaining the
Union. A high place for high council of
State.
A few miles farther on we strike the Juniata
whose rapid current eastward is another proof
that we are on the Atlantic slope of the Allie
ghanies. Another mountain tunnel buries us
in nomentary midnight, and again we sweep
along the banks of the "Bue Juniata,'' as mu-
sical in its flow as the pleasant song which
borrows its name.
A canal boat soon reminds us that this an
cient institution is in operation, east of the
mountain, stepping down the slopes, lock by
lock, and doing a small and good service IN its
way.
But while l ride and write, the glories of
the way escape me in part. Let us pocket the
pencil. Yours, p.
