| OVER THE ALLEGHANIES AND ACROSS
THE PRA1RIEs-Is the title Of a work by COL
j. l.. Peyton. author of the american Crl-
SIS" 'sThe Adventures OF my Grandfather, :"
etc., and published in London, in 1860. The
purpose of the author is to give q connected
statement of scenes, impressions, incidents,
and events of a tour to the Lakes and thro'
| Col Peyton was resident of Staunton, and
had just entered upon the activities of busi-
ness and professional life. To enlarge his
scope of information, he determined to ap-
ply to other sources than the dry and inrri-
cate folios of the law, Or even the more pleas
ing entertainment of the library, toread men
and manners, to jostle against the rough and
reckless frontiersmen, where the studied
words of society, and the measured forms of
speech and action peculiar to the settlements,
are tossed aside and spurned as effeminate
and pedantic he resolved upon rowing trip
| to what was then the "far Vest" Starting
at Stanton in 1S4S, in one of the old stage
coaches, he travels down the Valley to Har-
per's Ferry, thence to the Ohio, down that
to Kentucky, through Ohio, Indiana, Hi
nois and Missouri, up the Missouri and Mis-
sssippi, and around and about the Lakes to
| the verge Of the British Possessions. In
| graphic. rollicking and entertaining style he
enlarges upon tile incidents and suggestions
as they flood upon him, and cnriches his
pages with historical and classical illusions
and Illustrations, which lend charm to the
volume Of rare attraction. Not only in the
easy and flowing sentences is there ample
remuneration for the time devoted to a Pc
rusal OF the book, but an additional return is
found in the more substantial and reconcile
observations interviewer in the pages.
Col. Peyton, in the work before MS, has
shown himself master of the most difficult
style OF authorship, that OF presenting to the
reader the impressions as they are made up
on the mind by actual transpirancies, varied
in their character and versatile Of suggestion.
He makes you almost believe that you are
rolling along in the jolly stage coach with
hiai, or lazily sailing over the placid bosom
OF the western streams, or jostling against
the busy tide that crowd the highways and
thoroughfares of the boundless and progress
i've West. We have not time to more fully
allude to these pleasant pages, and can only
commend them to our readers, in the belief
that they will find us much pleasure in their
perusal as we have ourselves.
We are gratitied to know that the author
has returned to his native heath,'' and ex-
poets to spend the remainder Of his days
amid the scenes Of his childhood and ear
lier manhood. After an absence OF fifteen
years, spent OH the British Isle and devoted
to literary pursuits, he will be the better pre-.
pared to appreciate. the pleasant surround.
ing that greet him among his kindred and
friends.
