We were among the number, Messrs.
Editors, who determined TO visit Big
Rock, which = considered the highest
peak of the Alleghanies il Maryland,
commonly called Davis Mountain. Sad
ding our horses accordingly, we started.
After leaving our Town, (Lonaconins)
We logged along through the mountains
enjoying the scenery. with nothing to in
terrupt as except the occasional whirr
Of the pheasant, (Which made us regret
our unarmed eondition) and passing ON
wound through the valleys for six or
seven miles when we reached the foot
Of the mountain on which il situated
the rock. After making our steeds
fast, we began to scramble for the top.
In the upward tramp one scarcely no.
tices any ascent until the pinnacle is
reached, when apparently the whole
world presents itself 10 you 90 suddenly
you can scarcely realize its vastuess.
Miles and miles in every direction rs
far as the eye can reach can be seen.
Looking down upon the valleys are
seen farms of so or rs acres. seeming
like small gardens. On one side 10 a mag
nificent view of Frostburg, and on the
opposite Cumberland and Romney.-
Betweep- Cumberland and the noun
tain fovs the beautiful Potomac, wind.
ing along apparently about eighteen
inches wide; following its curves 10
the B. 4. o. Railroad, looking like q
thread which can Just be seen. Trains
passing over it-going at the rate Of 80
or 40 miles per hour-one can scarcely
see move, and they look to be about two
feet long, The height of the mountain
is not known to your correspondent, but
perhaps some idea of it can be formed
BY those unfamiliar with mountain
scenery If they know that We stood on
the rock aud saw the clouds, ordinarily
80 much above US, passing beneath Us,
which you may imagine is grand. The
rock Is situated between the Balti.
more and Ohio and c. 4 P. Railroads
about eight miles from Cumberland.
The scenery is 30 perfectly lovely I
would not undertake to describe, or do
ANYTHING like justice to it, for it is too
great for description. The only way to
form any idea Of its grandeur is to gil
the pockets with good segars (&c.) and
spend the day as We did. Cut on this
rock ara hundreds Of names Of parties
visiting it from different parts Of the
country. ! noticed some from Wash
ington, Baltimore and other places.
Here could also be noticed the remains
Of an empty bottle aud pack Of cards,
II thought il was rather too elevated to
make Indulgence in what might have
been the contents of the former SAFE
After spending several hours enjoying
the beauty Of the scenery. we Fired
our cigars and bidding ''adieu" to Da-
Wis mountain, started for home, which
We reached in . few hours. and I can
safely Say We. did ample justice to >

The resolutions adopted express a
strong preference for Blaine as the Re-
publican candidate for the next presi.
dency and endorse Grants administra-
ton. There was considerable squab-
bling in the Convention and something
very like bolt on the part Of Lowndes'
friends when the announcement was
reached that the Fulton Thomas wing
bad triumphed. Even at this writing,
judging from newspaper expression, the
republicans are not the "bappy family"
they were before the Convention assem-.
bled. The endorsement of Grant and
his administration was the most shame
full act that the Convention did and will
bring deserved reproach in all honest
quarters.

MIR. Freer.

This gentleman, who resides in
Kanawha, addressed a very respect
able crowd from the Kline House
steps last Thursday night.
Mr.. Freer is very pleasant and
good speaker, but for glazing false
hoods and base assertions he cannot
be surpassed. He made this charge
and that charge against the Demo
cratic party and its candidates, but
which he failed to sustain by evil
dencc. He made a strong appeal to
the baser passions of men, with the
hope of holding them to the party
this fall. He held up the war as a
scarecrow, and claimed the Demo-
cratic party was responsible for all
the murders that had been commit
ted in the South; endorsed Grant and
his Cabinet; approved of the recent
order of the President distributing
troops through the South to carry
those States for Hayes; tried to array
Professionals against Catholics, and
advised the voter not to cast his bal
lot for candidate who was even sus'
picioned of being friendly to Catho-
lies. The finances he declined to dis
cuss, but admitted that there was not
money enough in the country to
carry on its business. We took but
few notes and consequently cannot
give lengthy synopsis of hisspccch.
As we said before he is a good talk
er, but very reckless one.
At the conclusion of his speech,
Major Tomlinson was loudly called
for, and being present, came forward
and addressed the people in a two
hours speech, in which he soon
showed up Mr.. Frccr's deception and
the falsity of his assertions. We
have neither time nor space to follow
Mr.. Tomlinson through his speech.
Suffice it to say that he acquitted
himself nobly, and CALAMITY defend
ed the Democratic ship, which is now
under full sail to victory, which vic
tory is to be the redemption of the
nation, and the retaining of it from
the hands of the usurpcrs, corrupt
ionists, perjurers and thieves who
are now in power.
