Yesterday, we enjoyed pleasant trip up the
valley of the Saco and through the Notch,
irriving ut Crawford's in season for dinner,

willard, and in viewing the many places of
interest in the vicinity of the Notch, idle

gentleman managed to wet his feet, and thus
,dd TO his fame in story; Pulpit Rock"
Elephants Head" Wiley Brook Bridge"
The Pool" and other places so often dis
.oursed upon by the enthusiastic traveller as
to become monotonous in repetition. The
evening train took us to Fabyan's, where our
entire party found ample accommodations for
much needed rest and :epose. There are still
many visitors here, and it is evident that null
'tudes besides ourselves have an appreciation
of autumn scenery commensurate with the adj
vanced stage OF civilization in which we live.
There can be nothing to exceed the magnif
cent beauty and loveliness of this mountain
region at this season of the year. when every
mountain and valley are clothed in perfect
mosaic of gorgeous colors, vieing with the
hucs Of the rainbow, and boundless in extent.
This morning dawned with omnons indica-
tons of a storm; and before the time of the
starting of the train to the summit of Mount
Washington rain began to fall. and a dense
toy closed about the mountains and skirted
the valleys. closing us in for day of peace

Postmaster in the back is much worse than
the first dispatches indicated. The Post
master-G General has directed q special agent
to proceed to that place, and make arrange
ments for closing the Office preparatory TO
abolishing it. Nix, the Postmaster, whose
assassination was attempted, was appointed
because he was an active and courageous re-
publican. The Office had long been held by
a white woman, who had her nephew for
deputy. and both took every means of show
ing their intense democratic sympathies.
they decorated the Office on all occasions Of
democratic meetings and parades. For some
time previous to the Postmistress's removal,
il had been difficult and often dangerous. for
republicans either to send or receive political
letters. Letters to republicans of any prom
inence were held and not sent at all. and ire
luently packages of political documents for
republicans were opened and scattered about
the Office for lOafers to pick up. On two &C.
casions those to whom such documents were
sent were threatened because such matter had
been received by them, and once republican

was formed to assassinate the new Postmas-
ter. and the attempt on the 18th inst. to shoot

United States officers upon warrants from

inhabitants, and they will have the pleasure
