2s .JP ih S.VAISVILLS JOURNAL 10MFA5T, 50. 6 tocnnt Street, Evanwillo. FRIDAY. ..JULY EC, 139. LETTER FH03I EIROPE. Ewsbckgh, scotxasd, July Stb, Editors Journal: Oa the 1st day of July, at 10 a.m., we took tbo train from Glasgow to Ayr, a distance of about forty miles. "We passed several towns cn the wayt one of tbe most noted of which ia Paisley, a city of 50,000 inhabitants. It is seven miles from Glasgow, and i3 celebrated for it3 large canton crape shawl manufactories. About iwo miles from this place stands the famous Oak of Elderslie, under w'lich Wallace hid from the English. "We pass quite a number of iron works along this route, among which is the Black Band Iron Works. The land on each side of the road, is nearly all under cultivation, the principal crops being potatoes, hay, and oats. Much of the moist land is used for pasture for sheep and cattle. Occasionally, a field of turnips is sowed in drills. The soil cannot be very strong. The fences are mostly of stone, sometimes hawthorn hedge. The land is generally undulating, terminating in abrupt ravines, Bkirted with light forest trees no largo trees. Both sexes are often seen busily engaged in the field cultivating or harvesting the crops. Ayr is quite a nice little city, containing some 13,000 inhabitants. It U situated near the ocean beach, on both 6ide3 of the little River Ayr, from which it takes its name, cpan ning this classic stream are the two bridsres. (" twa brigs "), immortalized by Burns. On the same spot where Sir Wm. Wallace, one of bcot land's ere?.te3t heroes, was once im prisoned, -now stands a magnificent tower 11- feet high, erected to hi3 memorv. with hi full size statue standing out in front, some 40 feet from the ground. In Wellington Square we see the monuments of Lord Effgleston and Gen. G.S. Niel. About two miles southwest of Ayr. still stands the identical little cottage of two room3, in which the famous poet, Kobert Burns, was born, on the Zotn day of January, lto'J. Its rooms are s.nall. I should say about tea b'f twelve feet each. It fronts directly on the road. There stands the old chimney with its fire place, the rude board upon which the roet is supposed to have composed snmn of his immortal rtoems. and there hangs the painted likeness of Burns, in a damaged condition, irom which all the recent likenesses were originally taken. JSear this cottage, on the same side of tho road, stands the ruin3 of old Alloway Kirk, where tho witches were dancing eo merrily when Tam O'Shanter'a mis chief led him to disturb them, and for which he was pursued when he made his perilous flight over the bridge with the loss ct old meg s caudal append age. The old Kirk is in ruins. All that is now standing are tho walls, including the gables, and the old bell hanging in the front gable. The wall3 are about twelvo or fourteen feet ligh. Tho kirk is about 18x30 feet. Immediately on the right, and adjoining the old kirk, i3 the cemetery where the father and mother of Burns are buried, and a short distance to the west i3 the well where " Mungo's mithcr hanged herself." A Vttle further on, to the left of the i jad, about one hundred and twentylive yards from the Burns' cottage stands tho Bums' Monument, erected in 1S20, at a cost of $17,OoO. This monument is about sixty feet high, and 13 supported by nine Corinthian columns thirty feet high. These columns support a cupola, with railing. The whole is surmounted by a beautiful gilt tripod. The whole monument is of fine white free-stone, and elegantly finished. In the lower room of the monument are deposited a number of relics of tho past, such as hia own work3 and manuscripts in hi3 own handwriting, a snuff box made from Alloway Kirk ; a portrait and a finely finished bust of the poet; also, the Bible which he gave to his Highland Mary. The monument i3 surrounded by about an acre of ground, beautifully laid out, and adorned with tho choicest trees, shrubs, and flowers in the Kingdom. In richness and variety this place is said not to bo surpassed in Scotland. In a room or grotto in the same enclosure are the celebrated statues of Tam O'Schanter and his Bauter Johnny, executed by Tohm, a citizen of Ayr, and stone cutter by trade, but finished with such perfect success that they excited tho astonishment and challenged the admiration of tho old est and most successful artists. The same statue3 were exhibited some vears ago. both in Europe and Amer ica. They arc made of rough, brown stone the very material to make the n look natural. They are repre sented as drinking and amusing each other with stories. I must say that I never before saw any thing equal to theso statues in making tho stone laugh. Im mediately adjoining the monument grounds flows the " Bonnie Boon," and there still stands that same old bridge where Tam O'Shanter and his Mageio roado their terrible flisht from the witches. Oa the opposite side of tno roaa irom tncmonument grounds stands a small hotel for the accommodation of visitors. Ah water's edge of the Do on is a grotto, 6tudded with shells inside and out both of modern date. ' On the 2d day of July, WQ ieft Glasgow for Edinburgh, a distance of some fifty miles. Tho farmers along the way were busily engaged harvesting their grass. The crops are heavier the nearer we approach Edinburgh, until we get in the immediate vicinity of Edinburgh, where ihe land becomes more hilly and less fertile. Edinburgh is a very handsome city, containing about 175,000 or 1S0.000 inhabitants. Thi3 is not a manufacturing place like Glasgow, and, consequently, does not advance with such gigantic strides. Edinburgh prides herself upon her nobility. She was the former residence of kings and queen3. AVithin ncr limits, no me remains ot many Kmgs, princes, nomemen, earls and dignitaries of less note. She is tho seat of the high courts of Justin, in Scotland and the Universities of learning, bhe has erected several monuments to the memory of her distinguished men and benefactors. In Jb?.st fnnces btrect aarden thn citi zeus hve erected a magnificent sniral marble monument to tho memory of Sir Wa'.ter Scott, Bart. It wa3 erect ed m tho rear l&H, at a nof nf 15,050. and is ascended by a stair of two hundred ana cignty-seven steps. Under the canopy in tho monument aita the marble statue of Sir Walter Scott, with his favorite dog lying dowa

beside him. The people of Scotland !

are very proud of the camas of Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns. The Antiquarian Museum in Edinburgh, contains quite a variety of antiquities", mostly Roman and Celtic Among these arc many curious instruments of torture, for the invention of which tho people of this country, in past ages, seem to have been famous. One which especially deserves notice, and which strikes the American tourist as being very peculiar, is an instrument of Scottish invention, called the BranksIt is made of very thick strap-iron Eassing around, over and behind tne ead, with an iron plate about two inches long and one and a half inches wide entering the mouth and pressing upon the toDgue. The description of the instrument has, no doubt, already sucsted to the reader that its uso is tostop the mouth of an inveterate scold. The thumb-screw is also there to remind the present age of the tortures it has inflicted on the innocent victims of past ages. There, also, in mute silence, sits that horrid instrument of Scottish cruelty, called the Maiden, which was the twin-sister of the Guillotine, and which wooed so many of tho best people of Scotland into her embraces, only to stain her garments with their blood, as she severed the chord ot life with her sharpened edge, and sent their head3 tumbling into the pit at her feet. In thi3 museum is also seen the pulpit of St. Giles Church, in Edinburgh, from which the Rev. John Knox rreached. Also the solemn League and Covenant subscribed by Archbishop Leigh ton, and one of the hanners carried by the covenanters at the battle of Bothwell Brig. The upper room in thi3 building contains a collection of casts of ancient sculp ture. In the adjoining buildiug 13 the Natural Gallery of Paintings, and contains a great variety of paintings from some ot the best artists, varying in size from one to ten feet square and present a fine appearance. Calton Hill is in the Eastern part of the City of Edinburgh. Its sum mit is 350 feet above the level of the ocean. It commands an extensive view over the city and ocean. Upon this hill is the monument of Lord Nelson, presenting a clumsy and un siEhtly appearance. Just betore one o'clock p, M. of each day a large ball nsc3 slowly to the top ot this tower At precisely one o'clock, Greenwich time, the ball falls from the top o the tower at exactly the fame time that tho timc-gun is discharged from the batter? on Uastla .Hill. where the crown-room is located. Upon Calton Hill is also seen the commencement ot a national oiouu ment. intended to be erected to com memorato the heroes who fell at the battle of Waterloo. The portico, con Bisting of twelve columns, is all that baa been completed up to thia time Tho further progress of the work has been suspended lor the want of fund3 to complete it. The plan of the build ing was modeled alter the Jrartbenon, which stands on the Acropolis at Athens. Calton Hill is said to bear a striking resemblance .. to the Acropolis.- The Monument o James Play fair, an eminent mathe matician: the monument of Dugald Stewart, who was once a Professor of Moral Philosophy in the University ot lidinburga: the lloyal Ubscrva tory, the monument of Ilobrt Burns the High-School and the Prison, all stand upon this hill. Edinburgh Castle is built on th top of Castle Ilill, which is a precipitous rock several hundred foet high, in the south side of the city. This castle ha3 accommodations for 2,000 soldiers and 30,000 stand of arms. Fronting the North East on this hill is the llalfMeon Battery, mounted with heavy guns. . Ahis castle was once the residence of the royal family. It contains the Prown-Eoom, in which we may now see the insignia of Scottish Itoyalty, consisting cf the last crown of Scotland, a Sceptre acd.a Sword of State. Also- the Lord Treasurer's Iiod of office. All ttiese articles were found ' locked up in a Urge stout oak box ia " the Crownlioo1 1818, where they had remai. untouched since the year 1701. On the ground floor of the sari building is situated the room of Mary, liueen cf boots, where she gave birth to James VI, who became heir to . the crown of both Scotland and England, and under whom the two Kingdoms were united.' Upon this hill is situated the State Prison in which the Marquis and Earl of Argyle i and many other adherents of the Stewarts, were confined prior to their execution. -Upon tho Bomb Battery is a large piece of ancient artillery, called "Mon$ Meg," made at Mons, Belgium, in , liG7. It . is . made of iron bars hooped together. It is about twenty inches in diameter in the bore. The carriage of this large old gun bears an inscription, showing that it was used at Norham Castle in 1J70. It burst in 1CS2 while firing a salute. It was removed to London in lG84, and restored to this castle in 1820. In going from Edinburgh Castie to Ilolyrood" Palace, which is situated in the southeastern part of ine cuy, wo pass Dy Bt. lilies Church, where Rev. John Knox preached in his time. This building has been so remodeled that little remains of the original structure except, the spire, which remains un touched, and presents those beautiful irregularities which are found in the hnest specimens ot uothic architec ture.- This church is said to have been created prior to the year 1259, We also visited the ancient residence of the great Reformer, Lev. John Knox, consisting of three rooms the sitting room, bed room and study. In this building there, remains nothing belon!rin to its ancient occupant, ex cept his old wooden chair, which is bv no means an easy one. In this house we saw one of those instru ments described above as the Branks; also a Martyrs' or Witches' Girdle. This house was provided for Rev. Knox in 15o0. Uver the door of the Uev John Knox is the following in scription: " Lvfe God above all, and your -neighbour as yourself." Leaving tais house, we proceeded directly to that ancient abbey.- tho Holyrood xaiaee. lhis is the place where the Kings and Queens held their courts. In front of the main entrance is a mammoth fountain with lion-head jets. Tho palace wa3 erected, originally, in 1128, but has had subsequent alterations and improvements It is a quadrangle, built around a central court surrounded with piazzas. ' The front is quite handsome, two stories hieh with flat roof. The entrance t the inner court is under a cupola surmounted by an imperial crown in stono work. The apartments of wueen piary ana ljord JJarnly her husband, are the most interestirjo: in the palace, as they are said to remain in nearly the same state in which she left them. Iler bed an ther ancient f urniture is still standing in the rooms. Tho ceiling is panneled and embossed with shields and coats of arms. On one side is the secret doorway, by which tho conspirators entered, and on the other tho Oacen'a J sipping-r'oom, whero she and her pri

vate secretary, Kizzio, were when the , uhIt Adelv torn from the ,

han'a WMn. and stabbed by the . , J Vim thrrmcrh i wav where they left him eying irom the effect of do less than fifty-six ! TOnrw1a The darkened condition of i the floor at the ceaa ui me stairs is ; said to be caused ty tne diooo. 01 Rizsio still to be seen. The apartments on the other side of the court are fitted up, and are occupied by Queen Victoria during her visits to Scotland. At the northeast corner of this quadrangle is the Chapel lioyal n ruins, nothing standing except the walls, within which repose the ashes cf muny of Scotland's nobility. There is perhaps no place of more public interest in lidinburgh than the Museum of Science and the Arts. The building is largo and well arranged, with three galleries rising one above another, the whole lighted bv side and skv windows. This collection contains the accumulation ol ages, taken from the ocean, the air and the land, and brought from every nation of the earth. It has specimens in abundance, from the smallest in sect to the mammoth whale, whose skeleton, suspended betwecr- the gal leries, measures seventy-nine leet in length: all classified and arranged in order, with an endless variety ot geo logical specimens from all tho van ous formations or the different aees and countries. 1 have written this in much haste. V e have our time and route so arranged as to have little time to write. To-morrow we "start towards the South. Very respectfully, A.J. BY G. FRED. PRI CHARD. on the banks of the Ohio, la a deep, green forest glade, With the sighing trees above them, Bix , boys In blue are laid ; Not tbelr's the death the soldier meets with all a soldier's pride But one of war'i disasters overtook them and they died. Their gallant hearts have ceased to beat and ne'er thall thrill again, At sound of drum, or cannon's peal, or comrade's cry of pain; For them the camp and battlefield no longer have their charms, No emulation urges them to glorious deeds of arms. Unknown they lie ; no marble shafts record the names or rank Of those six heroes as they rest on Indiana's bank; Far, far away from home and friends they sleep their final sleep, While aching hearts, in Northern homes, In hopeless sorrow weep. Unknswn ! The saddest word that e'er told ot a soldier's fate ; Uc known! while motliere, sistcre, wives , their coming footsteps wait ! No more shall loving lip be pressed upon their pallid brow, No more shall fond, endearing worUs have power to arouse. God help the poor, sad, mourning souls with which the land is fliled. Who watch and wait, ia vain, for forms on earth forever stilled ; Days, weeks, and months, and years roll on, and hope grows faint at last. And fathers, husbands, brothers, sons, are memorie3 of the past. Why should ye mourn, grief-stilcken hearts, for loved ones gone before? Ye would not bring them back again from Heaven's celestial shore ! Then weep not for our dead, they've gone where guardian angels wait, Earth-weary souls to welcome homo, within the golden gate. A short distance from the village ol Rono, Indiana, on the Ouio Ittver, are the graves of six unknown Union soldiers, who met a horrible death by the explosion of the steamer Argosy, in lbtil. Theso lines were written at their graves, sunaay, juiy 11, 18Ca, by a brother scalier, as a tribute to their memory. IcutncUy Items. The Calloway County farmers have all cut their wheat and oat3, and are now engaged in thrashing out their wheat. The wheat crop is as large, or larger, than ever before planted in the county. Corn is late, but the prospects are good. The oat crop is very fair. laducai Herald. The proprietors of the.

The following are from the Owcnsboro Monitor of the 23th: Mr. R. E. Martin, of Greenville, has been appointed United States Deputy Collector for this county, and hold3 his office in the rear of the Post-OfSco building, where persons with business may call upon him. A "mad dorg" was killed on the streets yesterday. In his ravings be bit two or three of the canine tribe, but was "gathered to his fathers" before doing any further damage. A difSculty occurred in this city on Saturday morning between two gentlemen by the names of Freeman and McCormich, in which the former was struck heavily with a cane in the hands of the latter, and tho latter wa3 shot at once with a pistol by the firstnamed party. The parties arc comparatively strangers in thi3 place, and we are not advised of the cause of the difficulty between them. We hear of no arrests being made. We glean from the Louisville Courier-Journal as follows: The West Union Baptist Association convened in the First Baptist Church, Paducah, on Saturday. The Frankfort Yeoman says : " It seems now to be a fixed fact that we are to have a bridge across the mouth of Benson, giving us direct and convenient communication with Bell Point, or Powelton, and the country beyond." On Monday morningabout 7 o'clock one of the convicts in tho Frankfort penitentiary, by cutting an iron bar, managed to escape through a privy vault to the large sewer leading from the prison to tho river. His escape being discovered, search was made and he was captured in the sewer about three squares from the ponitentiary. Tho trade formerly enjayed by Pa- ... i ill uueah is now carried on oy xivansville. The Paducah Kenluclcian, regretfully noticing thi3 fact, says that once Paducah had a daily line of packets up the Tenne3seo River, but now a large share of the trade of that river is carried on by Evansvillo packets. From which we infer that tho glory of Paducah is about departed. 'Ihe Lexington statesman says of tho crops: iho tho hay harvest, especially of clover hay, wm interfer-

The Aloney Order System of the Post Office is established for the protection and convenience cf the people in making money remittances through the mails. The number of Money Order Offices have recently been greatly increased, and there Is now hardly a county in this or the adjoining States, where one or more of these offices is not established. This system affords the safest and cheapest method of making money remittances In limited amounts to all parts of the United States. When it can possibly be avoided, money should never be sent in the mails. The charges for Aloney Orders are as follows: On Orders not exceeding t20....10 cents.

Th9 World Grows TTIscr. Tbe human stomach has been a shamefully persecuted organ. There was a time when for every dereliction of duty it -was punished with huge doses of tbe most disgusting and iiauseous drugs. In vain it rejected them, and (literally) returned them upon the handa ot tbote who administered theni. They were forced upon it again and again, until its solvent power was thoroughly drenched out of it. The world Is wiser now than it was in that drastic era, when furious purgation and mercurial salivation were what Artemu9 Ward would have called the "main holt" of the facu:ty In cases ot dyspepsia and liver complaint.

To do this, the diake Pills must tbe stomach an monic Syrup an aweed Tonic and Manl'reely used to cleanse ver. so that the Pu he food w II make good blooa. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved; the stools will show what the Pills can do; nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a deadly poison, which Is very dangerous to use, uul&ss with great care) that will unlock the gall bladder and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills. Liver Complaint is one of the mosv prominent causes of Consumption. Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative, and the alkail In the Seaweed, which this preparation is made of, assists the stomach to throw out the gastrlo juice to dissolve the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and is made into good blrol without lermeutatlon or souring iu t. ie stomach. Dr. ScJenck, in his treatment, does not try to top a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever. Remove tbe cause, and they will all stop of their own accord. No one can be cuied of Consumption, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, or Ulcerated Throat, nnless the liver and stomach are made healthy. When there Is no lung disease, and only Liver Complaint nd Dyspepsia, Scheuck's Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient, without the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bilious complaints, as they are perlectly harmie.s. Dr. Schenck, who has e'njoyed uninterrupted health for man; years pant, and now weighs 225 pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, ia the very last stage ot Pulmonary consumption, his physicians having pionounced his case hopeless and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the aforesaid medicines. Full directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necessary to see Dr. Schenck, unless patients wish their lungs examined; and lor this purpose he is professionally at his principal office, Philadelphia, every Saturday, where all letters of advice must be addressed. Price o the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tfiiis, each tfX 50 per bottle, or 87 50 a half do-ii. Mandrake Pills, 25c. per box.
