PITTSBURGH. I
I have spent day at Pittsburgh, and last |
pigLt arrived in tho City Of Brotherly Love, an
old fayorite Of mine, regarded with reneration
nnd affection before 1 ever saw It, on account
Of It's Historical associations, aud since rem
dcred interesting and pleasant from its unny
attractions and the sterling character Of its
citizens.
While in Pittsburgh amused myself By
inspecting its yast iron manufactures and
great furnaces, pouring ont, night and day,
their uDceasing floods Of smoke and fame. {
EVERYTHING and everybody In the place ap-
pears begrimn1ed with SCOT; even the very
churches and school houses are black with IT,
Our fine, white marble fronts In CMcaso
would soon become as black as Ink here,
where red brick and sawed stone arc the Ia
vorite building materials, and where white
naint turns to a smoky -colored gray In less
Than fUcnty-four hours after 1t is put on.
The people all appear to lnre cast-1ronlooE~
ipr eountenancca, every man you meet, and
even some Of the fairer sex, partaking more
or less of the square and angular expression
I have always noted rs being peculiar to q
community where the mechanical genius
rules. am told 1t is common for ladies,
when they meet in the streets, to examine
each others faces for particles Of the SCOT
which ate flying about everywhere, forcing an
entrance under the windows and doors, &c.
It Is looked upon as one Of the amenities Of
life here, Oh the part Of the ladies', to wipe off
the dishguring specIs from the features; md
nothing is more common than to see q couple
ofwen dressed females performing this act Of
mutual charity In the streets. As for the
gentlemen, they look upon it US waste Of
time, and turn over their begrimmed coun-
tenances to to the BARRIERS, who are compelled
to do double duty, and in every case to lather
and scrub the entire face, aud even neck, as
we'll as the chin.
MRS. LOFTY. uoGGH.
This lady, formerly great and deserved
farorite at McVicker's, in your city, is playing
with her usual ability, taste, and innate deli
cacY Of sentiment and feeling, in a play called
| the Seven Sisters, at the Pittsburgh Theatre.
! It was formerly Union piece Of much merit,
| but fellow named McDonough, an Irishman
Of course, who appears to be desperately
down On the poor "nagurs' has interpolated
secession enough into it to damn thousand
| pieces Of the same character. They were so
| unpalatab1e TO the audience as to be saluted
| with hisges on all sides. MeDonough makes
| Massachusetts the cause Of all the national
troubles, and constantly apologies for the
"Wayward Sistcrs," especially South Caro-
lima. Mrs. Hough should cut this piece ani
all connection with theatres in which me1
fellow McDonough evidently reJoices in art
leading actors. Let Lofty. whois i sterling
Union woman, betrue to herself and her In
nate sense Of right and justice, and the people
will reward her as she deserves. She Is nnc1
improved in her appearance since her trip. t
terlngly received. She appears to grow young
er and better looking every day.
PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL RAILROAD.
This is the western terminus of the Penn
sylyania Central Railroad which has doubl,
track from here to Philadelphia, and is alto
gether a magnificent road. 1t is at presen
doing an enormous business, I believe TIM
!; it cannot manufacture freight cars in suffi
cicnt numbers, with the aid of al Its work
shops, to accommodate tbs traffic. I mel
freight trains OF enormous length and In grca
numbers all along the route. Night and da.,
: they arc sweeping up and down the eastern
with all manner Of articles, from coal up Il
cattle, hogs and sheep. The energetic ant
gcnt.enlan1y Superintendent Of the road, wht
, makes his Headquarters at Pittsburgh, Is a
Carhagie, Esq. He is enterPrising and inae
what is more, he Is 4 thorough. going Uniol
| man, and will not tolerate 4 Copperhead upo1
/ the road. On Friday no less than seven fucI
with secession tastes and sympathies wer
discharged by his directions, and he is boun'
elfan 9nt, eyeF man of n,, the 9em psy
) | his elbow" sayl.
TIE ALARM ON ACCOUNT OF THE wEsTER;
LEGISLATURES.
, I find all through Pennsylvania that the u
l ! most alarm prevailed on account on the SAY
/ ings and dolnEs OF the Copperl1eads IN th
Legislatures Of our State md Indiana. Whil
they were in session, It was daily feared thu
they would place their States In an attitude
y revolution, and perhaps carry them of Int
the Southern Confederacy>, The moment the
;, adjourned immediate relief WAS felt, and Ii
l. great fall Of nearly twenty-five per cent.
gold Is 10 great extent attributed to the fl
That their helljsh schemes were. defeated I
y the firm attitude assumed by Governors Yat'
= and Morton. These latter gentlemen al
t looked up to almost with feelings Of yencr
&c tion, and their praises are on every tongue.
; TIE FALL IN THE pR1cE or GOLD.
The great fall in the price Of gold has give
n Immense satisfaction to ali loyal men. \
q Que, except few speculators and the sece
T. sioaiists proper, but that rejoiees at it. Co
T. T. grcss did q very wise thing in passing an d
i to prevent speculation in the precious metal
/. am sorry to learn that this speculation Ii
[c been fostercd and encouraged BY many Of Il
n heavy banking Institutions, East ar
West even the Savings Banks had 1oant
d the money Of their dcposftors, for the INF
), NOUS purpose Of hiding in the depreciation
It the currency, on which alone Mr. Chase b
C been able to furnish funds with which to ca
o RI on the war. This speculation must no
e. bring ruin to thousands, and should not
n surprised to see so1sse of these institution
r. suffer the penalty Of their wrong doing.
