NOTES OF SUMMER TRAVEL.
Letter from the Cincinnati Fiehina
Party.


! / like Scotch-Irishman, an intelligent
half-breed of European descent, and hence
' my willingness to illumine the columns of .
! paper presided over by the immaculate
Mack. Besides, "Mack, !" during Halstead's
absence, is running the Commercial as well n
the Enquirer, with Admiral Plmpton As sub
/ so that my effulgences will shed duplic cate
! rays for the edi6cation of the vox-throuzh
| a nonpareil specu!um. Plimpton is honest,
but simple. halstead il slippery and smart.
Give the Admiral the near test, so that his
| quota of succulsnce may sustain him when
you are not on watch Speaking of giving
| = er tlate the sleeping cars on the Cincin-
natl and Sandusky Railroad, for they need it
sadly. and tell the conductor to keep his ver-
miu to himself. As they are very uncomfor.a-
this age Of telegraphs, rims railroads, balloons,
| DC the cars aforssaid are . nuisance, and
should be iniicted-that is, the owners
aud Superintendent McLaren should be
put in Jail upon bread and water for thirty
days.
From Sandusky, in vending our way hither
we found delightful air, 6ns boats and nice
agents. At Bay is . quiet, well-con-
structed hotel, nesting among a number Of
| islands of rare beauty. facing Gibraltar,
owned by the renowned Jay Cooke-him Of
Five-Twenty farmland upon which is q
castle of feudal pretentions. The Jay is now
honoring the Chief Justice, who Is to remain
with him until the I4th prox., when the
ether members of the firm of jay Cooke &
Co.-Hugh McCulloch and John Sherman
are to join them. There will be business
there then. Er. Enquirer, send up a re-
porter. Just athwart of where these little
affairs are to be arranged is the battle spot of
Lake Erie. and as frontispiece is willow
tree covering a spot where lie Perry's dead.
Nice food this for reflection for the greenback
gods.
A jaunt of sixty miles detected US of Loyal
Le7gue associations, and landed US at q smart
little village n'ted on the maps as Detroit,
formerly crossing place for runaway me-
groes, and now famed as the residence of K.
c. Parker, who pays double duty to the Gov.
ernment upon his tobacco because of its
superior quality. 1t is but q short and
pleasant trip from that aggregated township
to this part of one street, nine groceries to q
square, boiling weather, one hotel, nice land
lady, scalawag landlord, bad whisky, nasty,
sneaking, lousy, half-breeds close treacher-
Gus indeiatigable Kanucks, and soil that
Cornicopiau tillage could not enliven. Mos
quitoes-Shoo dy!
Littleness-a generous impulse would os-
tracize it's possessor. Gensrosity-They say
it was exhausted in the days Of Heroditus.
Still the miserable animals have their ex-
elements. Riel is now their sainted.
Colonel Bolton has taken to Fort William,
route for the Red River country, eleven
who presumes to disregard the commands OF
V.R. Riel has eight hundred armed men,
three thousand two hundred Indians equipped
with the bow and arrow, and the ability to
destroy the invading force, but 1 think the
pocket canker, which can only be cured by
British gold. George, Chippewa chief, told
me yesterday "Riel give dem English hell.
No half of 'em get back George has been
over the route to Fort Lavoy. He says Riel
will haerass the Brtishers and fight at the
Lake of the Woods. General Woolsley will
command the Saxons, with TOUR six Founders.
Lavoy mounts six twelve Founders. and can
be defended against anything but British gold.
British gold, you recoll.c bought Yankees
and Blue Lights without number, in 1872.
Why should not Riel, half Frenchman, hall
Indian, Toronto clerk, Red River adventurer
ETC., enjoy his own self and advantage hi
hour? There will be no fight, but shoul
there be, Riel will last . season more only,a
v. r. will send such blarsted lot of beef
eaters after him in 1871 that pecavi will r.
his weakest expression.
We leave for Fort William on the I'd prox
whence you shall have a more minute d
scription of the locus ~ quo antebsltum. I'm
then, adeu! But tell Bloss that the Mich
ganders don't intend to let their Stewart Sc
them out in the next National Convention,
he did in the last one. He lies now upon Il
shores of political deflemeut, and stinks Ii
a sickly trout. Exit StewartI His case
bnt the beginning OF the end. Those of {
traitors whom the gods don't embrace pri
to 1873, the just Democracy will contemn aud
to stand aside as uuclean animf
and unworthy servants.-lCin.E Enquirer.
