COREINNE [sic], Aug. 2, 1869. Since our last, written from Omaha, we have seen the Far West; have traveled over the line of the greatest railroad ever constructed, and have lived one month in the most flourishing town on its line. At precisely 8:40 A.M., July 7th, wo left the ambitious little town of Omaha. During the first hours of travel nothing of startling interest transpired, though there was much to attract and interest a questioning mind. Frontierism filled up the view from every point of the compass; the towns were few and far between, and where they did occur were of the most flimsy character imaginable. After the first hundred miles travel, but few frame buildings greeted our view, the towns being made up principally .of canvass [sic], the Sibly tent prevailing. In many places where the hills offered protection we would discover "little dug-outs," with curtains for doors, and in each one of them would live ten or a dozen men. Fremont, forty-six miles from Omaha, is the first town of any size at which we stopped. It is the junction of the Sioux City branch of the Union Pacific Railroad, and is, by rail forty miles nearer to Chicago than Omaha is. At first view this seems a little strange, but a glance at the geography of the country will reveal that it is true. The line from here to a point on the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, known as the Missouri Valley Junction, runs nearly straight east across the arms of a large Y, while Omaha is on the lowest point of the same. The scenery here is striking. The broad and beautiful Platte River sweeps lazily around to the south in its course, while north of the town a beautiful valley five miles in extent, level and fertile in the highest degree, is spread out like a panorama before the travelers' view. At Columbus, thirty miles from this point, we found a flourishing settlement supported by a fine farming country, which is being rapidly settled, mostly by Europeans. Twenty miles northwest of here is situated the Pawnee Reservation. From Omaha to this point, and even one hundred miles further West, can be found the choicest farming lands equal to the very best lands in Indiana. Timber is scarce, but good spring and running water in abundance. The soil is a deep black loam, and very productive. The climate is about the same as in Indiana, having its sudden changes, yet not unhealthy for all that. Homesteads may be entered at any time and the best farming lands are lying idle, waiting for industrious occupants. Fruit-growing is a success, and all that is now wanted is the immigration of good farmers to make Nebraska one among the best agricultural States in the West. Coal, lime, salt, and good building rock can be found in abundance. At Cheyenne, we found the skeleton of what had once been a large and flourishing town. The population at present, by actual count, is 2,665, a fearful falling off from that of half a year ago. The only trade that the town seems to enjoy is with Fort Russell and an occasional outfit for Sweetwater. This point is 6,300 feet above the level of the sea. The Pacific Road approaches the town in an inclined plane, 500 miles in length. The Rocky Mountains are reached soon after leaving Cheyenne, and their ascent is commenced, climbing rapidly, and soou entering on a Grand Pass through the Rocky Mountains, 200 miles wide and 500 miles long, having an average elevation of 7,000 feet, almost totally destitute of vegetable life, with good water only at intervals of a hundred miles or so, where the Laramie, Platte, Green and Bear Rivers cross it, but abounding in good, combustible coal. Here the scenery is grand. The most novel and beautiful of all as seen from the cars, is that of the snow-capped mountains first distinctly visible here. "Long's Peak" is the highest, being over 14,000 feet above the level of the sea. The mountain appears to be about three miles distant, but is one hundred and fifty miles as by actual measurement. The Black Hills present many attractions to an admirer of the bolder, grander beauties of nature, and pretty nearly every visitor to these parts is an anxious and excited seeker after moss agates, a species of silicious formation that has been wonderfully and beautifully figured and flowered through the united agencies of iron solutions penetrating it, and then becoming exposed to the action of the air going through a sun and wind drying process, after the wa ters of some river-bed or lake had evaporated, some of these moss agates are very tastefully inlaid with exact imitations of vines, cedar fruits, pine trees, hedges, trains of cars, stars, figures and almost every imaginable drawing. The agates found along the line of the Union Pacific Railroad are of four different colors, partaking of the names of the places where found, as follows: The "Cheyenne Brown Agate," "Granger Water Agate," "Church Butte's Light Blue Agate." and the "Sweetwater Agate." The two latter are the most valuable. The most extensive agate beds are found in the vicinity of Church Buttes and Granger, distant about 880 miles from Omaha. These beds are about fifty yards wide and nearly one hundred yards long, being isolated from each other at distances of from one to two miles. Laramie, 572 miles from Omaha, is situated on the Big Laramie River and is the base of supplies for the North Park Mines. It is the place of division repair shops, and is of considerable importance on account of being the end af a working division of the railroad. Laramie is the principal point of this character. Wahsatah [sic] and Rawlings [sic] both lay claim to the dignity, but the Company has done but little for either, and they exist only in name. After leaving Wahsatch, fifty miles West of the rim of the Great Basin of Utah, the route pursues a generally westward course, down Echo and Weber Rivers, to Salt Lake Valley proper, descending 2,500 feet in 75 miles, or 33 1/3 feet to the mile. Unitah [sic] is situated in the valley, 32 miles North of Salt Lake City, and is the getting off place for the City of Saints

over in Mormondom. It is the point where freight for Salt Lake City will be transferred to wagons, until the Utah Central Railroad, which joins the main line at Ogden, eight miles to the Northwest, is built, when said freights will go through, to their des-

tination without breaking bulk. Between Uintah and Ogden, a town under Mormon rule, the road bends due northward, to round the head of Salt Lake, keeping that course thirty miles through a narrow, and for the most part valueless, belt of land lying between the Lake and the Wahsatch Mountains. And here we gain our first view of the Great Salt Lake. The scene is one of indescribable beauty, the broad, restless waters of the Lake extending as far as the eye can reach, and glistening in a noon's sunshine, seemed to combine all the beauties of nature and sea. After leaving the Lake, the road sweeps around westward, crosses Bear River, where I am writing, and departs across the desert for the Sierras and the Golden Gate. CLAUDE. ===== From EvanSTllle to rhlladelphia Over the Mountains Sublime Scenery AWorld cf Iron Farms and Crops. Continental House, 1 Philadelphia, Aug. 2, 1869. j Editors Journal : No one who Las not passed over tie Pennsylvania Railroads can form a just conception of tho grandeur of the achievement la its construction, or the magnitude of the corporation which it embodies. Building rail roads in the West, across level prai ries, or througn suen miniature puis as prevail in Indiana or Illinois, is mere child s play, compared to this Except the , Granite hills of New Hampshire, no fetate in the Union Possesses such imperishable rocks as 'ennsvlvania. The granite never corrodes, while time and the elements will allect the terreous, or com pounds, ot which the mountain regions of Pennsylvania are composed. Nature 3 treat laboratory ltselr, how ever, cannot, in a thousand centuries, destroy what was by Omnipotence spoken into existence in a moment. West of the mountains some lime stone of an inferior character can' be found, but the State is emphatically and literally composed ot iron ore. From.Pittaburac to Harrisburg, distance of more than two hundred miles, the whole State 13 underlaid with iron ore, and in many placc3 it covers the mountain 6ide like bowl ders and flaz etone3 cover. the shores of the Ohio and tho streams of West Vircinia. 1 For a long time it was held by the wisest engineers to be utterly linpos sible to build a railroad across the Alleghanies, except on the principle of inclined plaines, with stationary enirines to draw up and let down the trains, and tho road was at first built on this theory. It soon became mani fest, however, that this plan was abso lutely impracticable, and the road un profitable. Somebody we know not who coneured the idea that this bar rier between the East and West, which had been considered insnrmount able, could be overcome, lhat man had brains brains that would have burstcd. the head of Christopher Columbus or Sir Walter Raleigh. Tho work was begun and accomplished and is one of the grandest monuments to science and engineering skill that the world has ever produced. The equipment of the road is on a scale of the most gigantic proportions. ,We saw locomotives Nos. 1 and 3G1; box car G.04G; stock car 8,024; and the other equipments, including passerger cars, platform cars, coal cars, &c, are in proportion. A double track extends nearly the entire distance, thus avoiding delay, and greatly reducing tho chances of accident, and rendeiing collisions next to impossible. The road-bed throughout is ballasted with stone, and for miles and miles is cut through stone. The passenger cars are the most elegant and comfortable we ever saw. being substantially built, elegantly finished, with high-backed seats, softly cushioned, and admirably calculated to rest the whole body. After leaving Pittsburg a short distance, the train darts under lofty but narrow ridges, debauching into a comparatively level country, under a high state of cultivation, and ornamented with handsome, and sometimes elegant and costly, residences. The fields team with heavy crops of oats and hay, and it wa3 noticable that the farther you go East, the grass grows heavier and more luxuriant, and on this side of the mountains the oats were the finest we ever saw. The line of the road lies along a small stream so crocked in its course that sometimes the train was running with the current, sometimes in the opposite direction. The points of the hills often like promontories, approach the stream, and are cut through Eolid rock, or when of sufficient height are tunneled. The tunnels are built up with massive masonry, and in many places the sides of the deep cuts are eupported by strong masonry. Extensive stone quarries are developed, and coal everywhere abounds. Splendid farms line the road, and display evidences of intelligent cultivation. . At 7:15 we reach Derry, forty-seven miles from Pittsburg, the first stopping point. .At 7:30 we get into the hills the outposts of the Alleghenies iand 'commence the ascent. The grade," however, is so light that it would not be perceived were it not for the rapidly increasing depths below. The track is cut down through ft !haIrock to a depth of thirty or forty feet, and the cliff overhangs the train in the most threatening manner, while the timbered hill rises above out of sight. On the left is a deep ravine through which the Conemaugh meanders, and beyond the hills tower till their summits are lost in the fog that still lingers in the valley. Up, lphe iron horse drags his heavy iOad with great rapidity, dashing forward a3 if inspired by the scenery that surrounds him. Near the summit of the mountains is Crcsson, a lamous watering place, presenting many attractions Suddenly tbe train dashe3 at the rate 0f 12 mAles P?r hour into a tunnel beneath the highest peak of the Alleghanies, and as it debouches on the .other side, a distance ot seven-eighths of a mile, a scene of indescribable grandeur breaks uf on tbo view To the left the mountains tower till thev seem to pierco the sky. t0 thQ right you gaze r down into" unfathomable depths, and your head grows dizzy as you gaze even from the car. Light fleecy clouds float far below", while the deep raviae stretches far away to the south -and east. Here the beauties ot . nature are displayed . in their grandest aspect, proclaiming the Omaipotenece of the Grand Architect who laid the foundatiors of the world, and fixed the everlasting hilh. Hero the descent commences, and the train shoots wildly down the side of the mountain by an easy descent. You see far across the curve of the ravine, and far below, another train dashing up

rnnnin? parallel with the descending train and pointing m Alvrr-tian. This is called the the " borsc-shoe," and the two trains on i;ffprpnt tracks, ot course, are run ning 1 . f pass each other on the curvo with a wh-i-r-r that chills your blood and i I U Lil ic nceis to the toe, ana with a velocity that make3 tho head swim. Down, down we go through a deep cut through the rock which dips at an angle of thirty-five to forty degrees towards the North, and which seem more solid than that which prevails to tho west of the mountains. Altoona. at the foot of the moun tain, is reached at 10:30, fifty minutes behind time, and here the passengers breakfast. The delay has whetted their appetites and each one did am ple justice to the elegant meal, lhe extensive "shoDs" of this cisantic company are located at Altoona, and are the hnest m the whole country. Previously and east of the summit, we had passed Johnstown, a city wholly given over to the manufacture ot iron in its various forms, rails, bars, nails, &c. Speeding forward wo pass iyrone Creek, and strike the Little Juniatta, which tho road crosses oina times within scarcely more than as many miles. All the way down the Little Juniatta, the Big Juniatta and the Susquehanna, to Harrisburg, the hilh rise to a great height, while at times the valleys spread out to a great ex tent, and appear like a grand ampitheatre. from ten to twenty miles in circumference, encircled almost com pietely by the everlasting hills, which are not only rock-ribbed, but are composed wholly of rock, all of which is rich with iron. The ap pearance cf these hills cannot be described. They are the most remarka ble on the continent, and it ia no stretch of the imagination to suppose that the Allegheny mountains are a solid and gigantic heap tf iron and coal sufficient to supply the world for a myriad of centuries. The most beautiful scenery and the most sublime perspective on the whole route are in the vicinity of the " Horse Shoe," in the vicinity of Mifflin, and at the confluence of the Juniatta and Susauehanna Rivers. Passing Harrisburg, we enter the finest portion of the Keystone btate. and see tho most ad mirably cultivated farms, the mcst substantial houses, and tho largest barns. This is the region where the Pennsylvania Dutch do mostly dwell, where industry, energy, and patient toil have made this the garden spot of the State. All tho way from Lancaster, and even beyond, to l'huadeiDhia the crops ot oats and hay are immense. As we approached the mountain from the West, the oats gradually crew erecner. until near Cresson, or beyond, they were only fairly headed out. To tho east of tho mountains the reverse was the case, and before we reaah Lancas ter they are iaily ripe. , lhe approaches to Philadelphia, on the line of the road at least, are different from most cities we have visited, and the "country" reaches up to the very corporato limits of est Philadelphia with but very tew suburban residences of any pretensions. The Pennsylva nia Railroad i3 the most perfect in construction, equipment and manage ment that we have ever seen. Coal is used chiefly on the locomotives, and tassenirer3 generally reach Jrhila delphia looking as if they wero fresh from Pittsburg. Soap and water, however, soon remedy that evil. b. Election In jDhrlstlaa County. HorKiKSViiXK, Ky., August 4, ISo'J Editors Journal: Our election, last Monday, passed off very quietly. Of course the rebe Democracy carried the day. The Ilcpubhcan vote polled was not over 400 in the county. I guess tho school tax has also been defeated not only here but through out the State. Good common schools would unquestionably chaDgo the face of affairs in Kentucky for good. but the present regime are opposed to any change, and especially in that direction. T V ...... l am very nappy to state that our expectations were realized in tho defeat of the proposed levy of a tax on the railroad for the benefit of the counties along its line. Tho majority against the tax was over eighty votes of those who went to the polls. A full vote was not polled, otherwise the majority would have been at least four or five times as large. Ab the facts are developed in re gard to the hopes, if not designs, of certain parties in this region, calm reflection will convince tho people that this proposed tax, if it had carried, would nave been a terrible disaster to the road. It would have crushed its energies, if it had not destroyed its vitality, so far as its paying a dividend was concerned. Now let the road build itself. We are all going to the eclipse next Saturday, unless the weather continues as intensely hot a3 it is to-day. We have had no rain for a good while, and the tobacco and corn prospect is not very brilliant. The corn crop is especially in need of rain, and will not' be fine in any event. The wheat crop was simply immense. Very truly, Edelweis.
