The C%ntCen continues to do a very thriving
business, as the boys are very popular and all
the other regiments are constantly over in our

The writer left Bel Air little over month

passes through some OF the most beautiful por-
lions Of Hartford and Baltimore counties, and
has no CouDt contributed largely to the pros
perity OF both counties, and deserves much at
the hands OF the people.
FROM Baltimore to Washington, ID. g., was
little over an hours run by the b. & o., with

which, it is to be hoped, VIII develop more
liberal management.
From Washington, u. G., was booked for
Memphis, Tenn, and return, over the South

railways Of the continent reaching into ali the
Southern States East OF the Mississippi. The
headquarters Of the ROAD are in Washington,
d. l.. The line the writer, came is from Wash

preached Ashviile, where there is the most
magnificent scenery, and Ashrille IS a great
city, built up III the heart OF mountains as a

Illus, has expended millions in &dorniDg thou
