Our TRlP.-We were absent last
week on a pleasure excursion to the
famous "Hawk's Nest" and other
noted scenes thereabout, in Fayette
county, West Virginia, full nara
tive of which may be found elsewhere
in our columns, furnished by one of
our fellow -excusionists, who wields a
ready pen, and whose familiarity
with names, places, and scenes, in
that wild and picturesque region,
were acquired during the stern reali-
ties of war. One item, however, has
been overlooked by our friend, which
may prove of interest to others who
design making similar visit. Visl-
tors to the "Hawk's Nest" will find
within short walk of that noted
place, the Hawks Nest Hotel"
kept by W. Fl. MITCHELL, kind and
accommodating gentleman, and one
whe takes, together with his esti-
mable lady, large interest in the
welfare and comfort of their guests.
A visit to this part of West Vir-
ginia, well pays the tourist for the
time and expense attending it. For
romantic beauty and grand, pictur-
esque scenery, it stands unrivaled

CoTTAGg No. 2.--We had occa
sion recently, to travel on this fine
steamer, and were so well pleased
with her completeness as a passenger
packet, that we cannot refrain from
calling public attention to her. She
is running in the Kanawha and Gin
cinnati trade, passing Gallipolis on
her down trip every Saturday eve
ming, and on her up trip every Wed
aesday evening. She is panned by
as worthy and competent crew as

S. C. FARLEY, is a noble minded,
worthy gentleman, besides being a
competent and careful navigator

teous Clerk, is unsurpassed by any

steward, is the ssright>, man in the
right place." always setting before
the passengers a table excelled by

ly and courteous, true to their duty

Then, there is THos. GwIN, the mate
what shall we say of him? His
good nature shows itself always,
and. although just now, perhaps, the
moon and stars look brighter to him
than ever before, still their new beau
ty don't interfere with his legitimate
duties--the craft with its precious
freight is safe with him on the hur-
ricane deck. And last, though not
least, are JOEL and MEREDITH SMITH,
the engineers, who are competent
and skillful, and ever at their posts
of duty. We take pride in record
ing the fact, that the officers of this
boat are all remarkably temperate,
which gives to the travelling public,
the assurance of comfort and safety.
hence we take pleasure in recon-
m ending her to the consideration of
the public.

The Rail Road Meeting at White
Sulphur Springs.

Capt. JOHN A. ROBINSON returned
on Monday from his duties as dele
gate to the Railroad Convention at
White Sulphur Springs. We are in
debted to the Captain for the follow
ing facts In regard to the Convention
and the great work it was called to
advance.
The Convention was very full
delegates being present from every
county in Virginia, and from ali the
counties in West Virginia interested
in the work. 1t was declared to be
the policy of the friends of the road
to raise the five millions needed to
build the road to the head waters of
the Kanawha, by city and county
subscriptions Of stock--said coun-
ties issuing 8 per cent. bonds, and
the R. R. Co. taking the same at
discount not exceeding 10 per cent
The delegates expressed confidence
in their ability to secure their proper
ton of stock in their respective
counties.
Contractors, representing large
capital, were present and offered to
take the entire road at the estimates
of the engineers, and complete the
work to the Kanawha River in two
years.
The action of the Convention gave
every assurance of prompt pushing
forward of the work, and the result
will be first class road from the
Ohio to the Chesapeake, at an early
day.
The prosperity of the already
completed 2O5 miles of the road,
(paying, previous to the war, 6 per
cent. cash dividends on its entire
capital stock, besides large annual
outlay on permanent constructive
account, road without connections
and no feeders, was an irresistible
argument in favor of the financial
soundness of the plan to carry the
road to its projected western connec
tions.
Capt ROBINSON has no doubt of
the ability and desire of the company
to carry forward and complete the
work.
