June 18th, 1876.

Editor Register
In fulillmentof promise l made YOU
on leaving Point Pleasant, give you few
way-side jottings OF our trip up to date
Agreeable to our original plan, We took the
Boone week ago yesterday evening,
Thursday and on the following day com
menced our course UP the Great Kanawha,
butt seemed to be ordained that that day
June 6th,l was to be made up Of chap
ter of accidental delays, commencing with
the breaking Of a rudder at Winfield, and
halls from the shore. After the boat had
passed the would-be passenger, who want
ed to ship COW or two; discharging these
bucolic freights at inconvenient points, and
then last but by no means the shortest de-
lay, was occasioned by that class OF all pack
ct boats, tow-boat; the Lookout stuck
her nose and Eve barge tow, just in
ahead OF us into Elk Chute, at o'clock,
P, NJ, and detained the Boone till 2 O'clock
next morning, for the long space OF time
OF hours; and then it was that discoy-
cred the cardinal secret OF Captain Hainil-
tons popularity as a steam-boat-man on
the Kanawha river; his patience and kind
ness of heart seconded by all his efficient
officers under trying circumstances. On
the next dav by the l:S5 p. NJ. train, vein
company with our former townsman, Ghas.
Muddy and his excellent lady and Judge
John ]. Jackson, j. Y. Moore, Clerk of the
U. S. D. Court, the latter two, bound for
Washington, D. c., and Richard Burke, OF
the Monroe Register, started on our thunder
ing route up through the New River Canon.
Mr.. NJ. and lady were returning to their
home III Lewisburg, from which they had
been absent for some weeks, visiting
friends in Gallipolis; arriving at sewell
Station an hour and a half before sunset,
VIC assembled the Mountain over 1900 feet,
to the plateau above the Canon, and found
our friend John McGuflin, absent from
home; we enjoyed the liberal hospitality
OF uncle Jimmy Turner, a teutonic noun
taineer, clever man and Greenbacker.
On thenext day, Sunday the sth) after n
hearty breakfast, mounted upon brace
of sturdy mules, we took the serpentinc
road up the mountain for Meadow River;
we reached this truly romantic stream at
So'clock P. NJ. OF that day, at a point call
ed Russelville, at the mouth OF Brackon's
Creek, about 10 miles distant from sewell
Station by the road; the point or spur OF
themountain made by the confluence of
thiscreek with Meadow River, is called by
the people here the big toe Of the left loot
OF Big Sewell, and uncle Jerry Nutter says
that the toe is 50 Infinitely defined that he
can soc the. corns on the top and the very
nail onthe end. Of this cyclopean pedal
