city one weekago to-day, and have been mucl
pleased with my visit The whole population
seem to be social, genial and Southern. Tn,

TO be the best market for the Southern mer
chants to get their supplies. II has been asser
ted, and believe II TO be true, that Louisville
IL the best and cheapest market for drugs In th,
United States. The extensive establishments o

mense Wholesale drug stores, which adornthil
place. Wholesale dry goods, groceries, hard
ware and clothing establishments are abun
dant. ... sl.g,

ranged Cave Hill Cemetery. 1t is decidedly the
most picturesque and sublime scene | ever be

the resting place Of dear friends and relatives

great Kentucky giant, James ID. Porter. He
was seven feet eight inches high. The buryine
ground OF the Confederate dead was pleasantly
located on the side Of hill-all side by side In
regular order with nice head-boards, painted
white, with name OF the deceased, date Of death
and the State from which he come. Here rest
several hundred Of our brave Southern boys
who died far, far away from home, and l am
glad to say not from friends.
On the South side Of the beautiful grounds Is
cave arched over with rock, out of which
gushes abeautiful stream Of pure water. This
cave is said 10 reach several hundred feet UNI
