A SOUTHERN TRIP.

The following extracts are from
private letter written by Mr.. S.
Blackman to his daughter in this place.
1t is dated ION board the City of
Alton" near the south line Of Missouri,
Dec. e4th.
Since my card and letter,
We have been floating down the river
slowly. We arrived at Cape Glradeau
about Q o'clock, Thursday night and
remained there all night. was right
sorry tor wanted to 60 ashore and see
the place. Arrived 1t Cairo Friday at
II o'clock, and remained there load
ing all the rest of the day, which gave
me splendid time to look over the
town, which improved fright smart
and was surprised at its size and north
ern appearance. Left there last night
after We went to bed and on waking
this morning found ourselves SO miles
below, having passed the line between
Kentucky and Tennessee. At our first
landing this morning, l stepped out on
Tennessee soil. The land is perfectly
flat and exceedingly productive. The
CAPTAIN saws it is the best corn land in
the world. The weather has been
cloudy and cool most of the time since
we left. Last night was decidedly the
coolest night we have had, it froze the
ground on top quite had, how is this
for winter for a warm climate, perhaps
you think We begin to look back and
long for the leeks and onions of Egypt,
ifso let me set you right--not a hit oft,
my expectations and anticipation as
vet are more than met l am delight
ed thus far and if the future Of our
journey should be as satisfactory as
these few days l shall consider it a
grand success. But all tell us that
there is beauties and delights below
that we have not anticipated yet. How
glad l am thus far, We took the boat,
andif an accident happens, as l pray
the Lord there may not, we shall have
delightful ride of go miles which Y
never expect to enjoy again. Our boat
is not surpassed in the kindness
of its officers, and the table
spread before us three time day,
with all the luxuries of the best city
hotels. The pilot invited us the first
day up into the pilot room, which we
gladly accepted, which gives US grand
view of the river and surroundings.
After remaining on good cusioned
seat for two hours and hearing them
interest us in relation to all the points
along the river, we started to go below,
but not without an urgent request to
come up often and make ourselves
perfectly at home which request we
avail ourselves of every day. l have
to say that 1 fear ma does not enjoy
the ride on the river as well as do.
She don't really say so, but when l
exult with delight, she very modestly |
says "oh you are only just making be-
lieve' and then l can't get her to say as
1 do, I'm am delighted. But don't
think she is homesick l regret that
We shall not be able to see Memphis,
as we shall arrive there after dark to-
night and leave before day light in the
morning. We expect to arrive in New
Orleans next Thursday, cannot say
how long we shall remain there, but in
all probabilities not more than two CT
three days.
