road trending southwark that leads OIL to
Lynchburg. This road was used by the
people from the South OH their way to the
Virginia springs in days of yore-when car
riages, buggies, and horseback were the only
modes for conveyance. The Rockfsh river
meanders its way along, aud sometimes for
long distances through the road itself. In
that day people were not affaid Of u few hun
dred miles travel in stage.coaches and private
riding vehicles to enjoy the pleasures, the
luXuries, and the health-giving vigor of the
Virginia mountain springs, but now. since
the railroad regime, the convalcscents and
people in full vigor, much less the invalid,
refuse to ride twenty-four miles in carriage
or stage-coach to get to some of the most
celebrated and popular springs of fifty years
since.

The Steamship New Orleans.

At the Cromwell steamship landing, at
fhe head of Toulouse street, in the Second
District, there is now lying the most sub
stantial and elegant specimen of marine
architecture that ever foated on the Missis,
sippI river. We refer to the new steamship
New Orleans, commanded by Captain E.
Vo eager, of the Cromwell line, and which
arrived in this port on Sunday last. her first
trip from New York.
Her dimensions are: Length on deck,
249 feet; breadth of beam, 33 feet; depth of
hold, "a feet depth, moulded to upper deck.
26 feet inches; tonnage, 144O tons.
The hull and machinery Of this vessel
were built at Wilmington, Delaware,
by Messrs. Poseys Tones & Co., under
the supervision Of Mr. John Baird Her
cost was $280.0O0o She has accommodations
foy carrying eighty passengers and thirty
i've crew. She is supplied with beating
pipes, like a hotel parlOro and all the ap
pointments 'ot' the mose luxurious home.
Her upholstery is a model Of neatness
and richness She has an iron hull
the best forged iron-and is SO soIidly
put together that II seems as though no
possible strain could start giveto She has
four wate?-tight bulkheads, two inclosing
the engine and boilero and two collision
buIkheads, forward and aft. A new feature
in her construction is an iron house which
incioses all openings in deck to engine and
fire rooms9 which in a moment can be made
water-tighto thus insuring the impossibiity
of water from over the deck ever reaching
the irego and this improvement also consti-
tutes an admirable protection in case of
fire. as the iron house runs between decks
and will prevent the flames from spreading.
The Vessel is furnished with all the latest
improvements known in marine economy.
She has one Of Bairds direct acting en-
gines, forty-eight inches in diameter Of cylo
inder and five feet stroke of piston. It is
furnished with a surface condenser, and has
a separate circulating engine and pumps
with steam jacket around the cylinder
Steam IS supplied from two boiler. Il feet
