Editors : The delay in seadicg another letter about tho usual time occurred from my having to deliver some lectures in New Albany and elsewhere, besides visiting Nashville, Tcnn., oa business, during my Summer vacation. I now hasten to send you a communication, Tipnrlv aa written on board of the French Steamer ''Scamander," while sailing in the Mediterranean during last October, and touching at the points described. The first observa tions may be beaded MTSCELLANE0U3 ITEMS REGARDING SMYRNA AND EPHESUS. In the last letter, the trade in figs, raisins and oil was spoken of, but there are other items in whioh Smyrna trades cretty extensively. About eighty aailea back a considerable amount of opium is cultivated ; also cotton. An IJntflish gentleman hero descanted upon the latter, and of his father's investments, saving emphat ically, "If tho American war bad only lasted a vear longer, we should have made a fortune: as it was. we lost one." The American Consul, Mr John Smithers, who received U3 very kindly, informed us that the Etaple had been very much improved re oently by the introduction of American cotton seed. The rst year or .twL. it was not so perceptible as later, He i( marked that the same applied to Mediterranean wheat, in the States, whirs had not been nearly so much valued until it bad become acclimated bv two or three successive years in America. The same gentlemen who complained of tho cotton depreciation, deals also in opium and scammony, which no says are pretty largely ex ported. Utner persons put up quan tities or sardines, and, we under stand, anchovies. We saw in mar ket a great variety of fine fish While making our donkey tour, we met several Turkish ladies ridinc the samo as men: but hero with their faces much more closely concealed than in Constanti noile, having a thick black veil to connect the two white veils formerly described. Finding several Turkish won en devoutly praying at the Tomb of Poly carp, and seeing the remnants of numerous candles burned there, we were somewhat at a los3 to understand why tho Turks rovercnoed a martyred Christian and attributed miraculous influences to his mouldering bones. At tho Hotel de l'Europe, which we found excellently kept by Mr. Alberti, we met at the talle d'hote a Turk, and ventured, through our landlord, who presided at the head of the table, to ask the explanation of this devotion to Polycarp. lie replied that they, like us, worshiped tho one living and true God; reverenced great and -good men, especially those who lived before Mahomet's time.particularly Moses and Christ, but deeming Mahomet tho Prophet, whose instructions from divine sources were the latest.they followed out tho teach-, ings of the latest dispensation. At a photographers I bought as usual, photographs illustrative of the adjoining scenery and costumes. One view of Ephesus exhibits the river Ayaiolouk, so called becaused it is the supposed burial place of tho Holy Evangelist John, ( llagios Theologos) ; as also, according to some authorities, of the Virgin Mary. Iteturning through town our serious reflections were rendered still more sombre by encountering a hearse, which was decorated in eight or ten places on its sides and ends with painted representations, as large as life, of death, namely of skull and cross-bones. We had delightful weather at Smyrna, although we learn that tho rain, beginning, about the end of November, continue sometimes three months, with scarcely any intermission, and .then diminish gradually during perhaps a month before the dry season sets in. The only drawback to comfort was from the persistent attacks of musquitoes, against which however good bars are provided at night. This place and Venice, are the only two points at whioh we have encountered these transatlantic torments. The sea this morning, (16th Oct., 1SC9) evinces a great contrast to its appearance on the day of our arrival, being so remarkably placid, that even the boatmen seem quieted by the sympathy; and a splendid Medusa, of bluish color, and fully sixteen inches across its disc, has been quietly floating for some time near the stern of the vessel, as she is held in place by her anchor. Bat now the anchor is weighed, the boats are hoisted, and I must seek the quarter deck to obtain new itams. While going out of the harbor, I find it is much more extensive than I supposed, as we do not quite clear the Gulf until -we have made some 25 miles or - more. The white piles of salt are again visible, and we learn it is a government monopoly, from which a considerable revenue is derived. While bidding adieu to Smyrna, with its sixteen mosks, it is interesting and encouraging to learn that, under the Lutheran Church of Germany, deaconesses have been sent out (somewhat as the Catholics send their Sisters of Charity), who form a central point for the Protestant community. One, Sister Mina Gros3e, has been at Smyrna during the last seventeen years, effecting much good. Among tho superstitions which they have to eradicate, is the idea that, by carrying portions of tho clothing of the sick to the tomb of a great person r so-called saint, a cure can be efMed. -on-re, too, we learnon leaving, that tossiffjh of October, when we were vessel wput in the JEgean Sea, a etorm, neirreeked, during a thunder giving us adoca, and many lives lo3t, i A Anoial cause for thankiIaok Sea aboutwas lost on the this was also on thesame time, and "nl-Btorm at Athens.t of the great Villed a great manbvthey toll and destroyed a eonsideraiall bs of property. amount we ateatt, 0ut of the Onlt oa the Island ofL distinotlv m . ica of Sannhft A I 3.1Ia aP nem?fSapphArion:T3K1'8& ' i - oilier noted m.i 7t r: uiasi ell warof thloSkSiif 83 ,-bich educed thl ,)? , evolution, ' t(ffi reUtloa from 3 oitW .5 ."VV .-"oasphrastoa ronr,: "7ts y, turning our

course southward, every other thought

is banisned Dy two absorbing consilertions, reflections on Homer and the Evangelist John. Wo are again in eight of Chios, or Scio, and hard'y know whether most to glory m looking on the probable birth place of Ho mer, most to mourn that the delightlul island with a city of 110,000 Greeks, besides fifty flourishing villages,should in 1822, have been reduced to a hand ful of 2,000, (25,000 Chian Christians havineperiined by tbe lurkish sword, and 43,000 having been dragged into Mohamedan captivity.) or finally most to admire the heroism of Constantino Cacaris and his brave thirty-three, who avenged the Moslem carnage by blowing up the vessel of the Pasha, with a crew of 2.000 men, shoutinsr the war cry, "Victory to the Cross. About dark, we neared bamos, one of the largess of the ihgean Islands, which, alter compelling tne Lnians to . 1 1 l! . A t. - A. 1 1 1 . it join in tne revolution mac iea to tne above destruction, oDtainea tor tnemeelves such terms that they only pay a moderate tribute to the Ottoman Empire. Ibe moon shone with tropical splendor, and enabled us, by watching until midnight, and even into the hrst hour of bunday morning, to discern on our right tbe outlines of that small and rocky, but ever memorable isle, in which 91 rears after the Christian era, the Savior-loving Evangelist being "in tho spirit on the Lord's day,' heard a great voice as of a trumpet commanding him to write the thirgj which shall be hereafter, so that he that hath au ear. may hear the mys teries of the dread apocalypse. And John wrote in the caves of Patmos, the llevelations of Holy Writ. RHODES. Founded by Hippodamus, of Mila tus, 403 li. U., the city ot lihodes, m the Island ot the same name, was early noted for its colossal bronze statue, reckoned one of the seven wonders ot the world, being iuo leet hieb: but in the year 224 li. O.. after enjoying its reputation only fifty-six rears, it was destroyed by an earth quake. At length, in A. D. C72, every vesture ol the JAhodian uoiossus was carried off, loaded on sine hundred camels. After the Knights of St. John, o Jerusalem, had been expelled from Palestine, they received the Island of llhodes, A. 1). 1303, as a gift from the Emperor Emanuel. Here they main taincd their power for over two cen turies, notwithstanding the frequent sieees they sustained from the lurks but they were at length eo sorely beset by Solyman the Magnificent, that they capitulated alter a lour months siege retiring with all tho honors ot war Conduoted bv their Grand Master Villiere de l'lsla Adam, they retired Jan. 1st, lsJ2, to Crete, and after wards to Sicily; and in 1S30, the Em peror Cbarles V. ceded to them the Island of Malta. It was exceidingly interesting to trace in Modern lihodes many relics of thoso gallant Knights. Their grand hospital, now a granary, shows its durable character. Their massive pates and grand bridges, their towering bastions and deep moats all speak of deeds in arms, and recall the bril liant defense whose record thrilled with interest , the chivalry of the civilized world. The Street of the Knights yet displays, in stone carvings over their dwellings, many a gallant shield and noble armorial bearings, replete with fleurs de lis, rampant lions and daggered arms, no idle boasts of their romantio bravery. How different the present condition of that tiiangular Isle with its 4,000 feet high mountain, Artemisft. We now see Turks and Greeks, Armenians, Jews and Franks mingling in the busy market, hawking their products on donkey packsaddles, or offering on the Bazaar counter, wheat and barley, melons . and figs, partridges and grapes, coral and sponges. In the Greek quarter we examine attentively the curious tesselated pavement of different colored pebbles interspersed artistically in varied forms, and are politely invited to enter.; Not only is the yard thus laid, but even the floors of their best rooms. Their women glide about on high pattens or clogs, and hasten to show their hospitality by offering aniseed cordial and the conventional welcome of a scented shrub sprig. .We speak" our thanks through the dragoman, and pass again into the streets. Calling for a Turkish water-purified tobacco pipe, our guide scats himself on the wharf opposite a coffee house and invites us to partake. We decline but admire the arrangement by which their already mild tobacco, if it must be smoked, is rendered still milder by passing through water at every section from the amber mouth pieco of his flexible tube. - , But the Bteam from Scamander's waste pipe warns us on board, and we bid adieu to tbe soft atmosphere and hazy, lazy, $till life of- the once glorious and energetic llhodes. Not the Bhone'e most blue of waters at Geneva can execed in ultramarine color portions of this Levantine Mediterranean, as we glide in a native small craft over the unrippled surface of the sea to our good ship of the . ; MESSAQKR1E3 IMPERIALS LINES. A word on this subject may not be uninteresting to travelers. Certainly we have no complaint to make of the Russian boats, even less perhaps of the Austrian Lloyd steamers; but we could ask for nothing more agreeable in the way of traveling than to have the comforts and even luxuries of the fine boats in the Mcsssgeries line, while on board, and opportunities at all the important points of going ashore, to view during some hours the many objectaof interest with which the oriental ports are replete. When you have been galloping over some and district, to 'view the magnificent ruins, you return, almost as if to a fnme, to find on board prompt and civil attendance, ample and varied meals . cf fish, flesh and fowl, the vessel carrying live ; sheep, rabbits, partridges and the like, ready for the butcher.; agreeable society among those who have traveled much, some times on Missionary tours, good ac commodations for bathing, walking and writing, although the latter is sometimes rendered rather illegible by the motion of the vessel; in short these pleasures, added to the charm iog balmy air, in thoroughly ventil aiea pertns, and cabins, (as well as the sight of the apathetio Turks, the veiled ladies scarcely - moving fiom their carpets, or desk, all day, while the soldiers and other deck passen gers, amounting to nearly a hundred, lounge about and sleep, except at meals, or when in the evening they o Bwauiacea id succession to perBiow soioaances with much gesticulation), are rather calculated to induce more indisposition to exertion than is usual with' Anglo-Saxons. rrom thlS apathv wa nrnneort of early hour on the morning of the 10th uctocer, TflE PORT OP TARSUS.

has written in pencil after the article ,

on J.arsU3, x owpvivyvua wmuicu. The edition, however, is old, and the deficiency may perhaps be supplied in more recent issues. - Through the kindness of Rev. L. IT Adams, one of the Missionaries of m t k I I I . n . I J ' ' the American Board, we obtained trainable information before starting. and were enabled by his knowledge of Turkish and ivraDic, to mate ine necessary arrangements for an instructive visit to Messina, the present port for Tarsus, and other portions of Cilicia, as also lor a pretty thorough investi gation of the ruins supposed by some to have bseu parts ot the public buildings of a town built by Pompey after he expelled the pirates from this region. ibe whole coast here is tun ot classical reminiscences, the Gap is al most visible, a short distance to the right, as we face the Taurian range, through which a portion or the xen Thousand retreated with Xenophon, and as we row out at sunrise the burning glow imparted to the eastern hills, with Antioch in tho rear seemed to impart to her a portion of her former snlendor. and of her mission to shed over this region of tbe glebe the radiant glories of a light diffusing moon. Tarsus, a few hcurs inland, so well known as the birth-place of the Apostle Paul, is also noted for its liiver tjydnu?, because alter bathing in it, Alexander was attacked by tbe disease which led to the interesting history of his confidence in his physician : and because majestically through its waters sailed in oriental pomp and splendor, Egypt's Queen, Cleopatra, for a first interview with Mark Anthonv. The town is further associated with later history: the remains of a wal being shown, supposed to have been constructed by order ot ilaroun-ai Ilaschid. whose reign has claims to distinction besides those so gorgeous ly set forth in tho "Arabian Nights ' thousand and one tales. A castle is also pointed out. which tradition ascribes to Bajazet: and the most noteworthy gate of the city is decrib ed, by those who have seen it, as truly magmheent. While making the transit from the vessel to the shore, wc could notavoid observing the peculiar form of the rowers' heads, and learned that the pointed shape, converting, as phrenologists might Bav.all philoproeenitiveness into firmness and self-esteem, was the result of prevalent custom, whic induces mothers, as we had observed on the vessel, to bandage their chil dren into a mummy shape, as the North American Indians do. and strap them to a board, or tho cradle the back of the soft skull resting against tbe plank, and acquiring dur ing its plastic condition a permanent modification. Approaching the shore we were cited to tbe position, in tb distance, east, of the ancient Greek town Soli, then inhabited by emi ierants. who. by their provincial pe culiarities of language, gave origin to the permanent word solecism, to designate inappropriate term. On entering Messina we realized some of the confusion experienced by the sinners of Babel, distinguishing an lnhnite diversity ot language. which we ludge to be Arabio, lurk ish, Greek, Arminian, etc., without being able to make ourselves under stood. By the aid of Mr. Adams we were, however, provided with horses and a Kuide, pending whose prepara tion, we were politely invited into the house of Mr. Adams agent, original ly of an Arab family, but having Greek manners and religion, bet at our ease at once by his benevolon countenance and courteous signs, we passed through the great centra apartment, in which meals arc set which communicates with all the others, and were pleasantly seated on a divan, covered with printed muslin whence we oould command a fine view of the picturesque shore. Through the open door we observed sundry female figures, walking on the high pattens or clogs, to which for mer allusion was made, and soon the daughter of our host, with a head that would have done honor to any Greek lady ot olden times, and a con tour that might serve as a model for one of Italy's talented sculptors, glid ed gracefully and modestly into our presence, saluting us by placing the right hand hrst to the heart and then to the bead. Presenting the neat lit tle tray with cups of fragrant-tea, she seemed to say with her eyes and denr onstrativc right hand, "Partake of re freshments before tho fatigues of your journey, and we. hand to heart and head, unmistakably aoccpted not only the proffered cup ot tea, but a subse quent doll-baby cup of Turkish coffee, placing it first in a small silver cud holder, shaped somewhat like an egg cup, which served instead of sauoer. The same ceremony was gone through on our return trora the ex ploration, after which, with agrasp.of the hand, as indicative ot occidenta usage, and a touch to heart and head, in conformity with Oriental custom. at least amid this nationality, the round, good-humored face of the father, the waving hand of the son, the oval symmetry of the daughter's classical face and jet black hair, the heavy gold necklace and smile of the blonde daughter-in-law, all laded alike from our view, and we stumbled through Messina s market of camels and mules and donkeys, and nation alities of cotton and coffee, of dates and figs, of pac&saddles and Backs, and all the et ceteras which might be found in a western country store, or a amyrniote Jew spawn broker establishment. XMow we gambol and amble on Turkish palfrey, with Turkish saddle and full grown shoo stirrup, serving the additional purpose of spur, along the coast over high peaked bridges and low mud valley, o cr stock and stone, through scrub pines and thorny bushes, 'mid flocks of goats and herds ot cattle, under ac loudless bynan sky, and a New iork alpacca umbrella, to the time-honored, Mur ray negieciea. RUINS OF P0MPEI0P0LI3. After a pleasant ride on a free going pony vior mese JLurkich horses are all email) we came in sight of forty-five magumcent Corinthian pillars, stand iug aner ucany iwo thousand years or storm-aeiying existence, exhibit ing still the graceful aeanthoid orna. ment ot Capital; and. in the interior row, the fluted sharpness of columnar shatt, while on sundry console projections, or stone brackets, although the statues are gone, may be discov ered diseriptive sculpturing, in graphic Greek, although the building itself is probably of Roman origin and almost Augustan age. Evidently these double lines of twenty feet high columns, extending nearly half a mile from shore inward, facing the ocean with pillared portal, heaps of shattered columns and brok en entablature strewn through the entire approach, (while ruins of mas sive walls, arcnea vauus, ana tne structure culminating in at least one tumulus, occupy in all many acres). indicate a noble work, consummate architectural skill, a probable temple. proximate city ot civilization, a power ambitious and despotic. But

THE AMERICAN BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS. It may be interesting to the friends of missionary work, as well as to the personal friends of the American missionaries, wbora we met on boara the ' Scamander," to learn that we saw Rev. Henry Marden and Mrs. Marden, from Boston, start in safety on their route from Alexandretta to their ultimate destination, four days distant, at Aintal; also, Miss Proctor, returning thither to her old field cf work, where, for several years, she has been successfully laboring es Principal of a young ladies' seminary or boarding school. Rev. L. H. Adams left us at Latakia, or Ladikeycb, as Murray calls it. in order to meet hi3 wife, he caving just been home on business. They return then to their old field of labor at Tarsus, while at Alexandretta or Iscandrau, he points out the place where the missionary, W. CofSng, was killed, along with bis servant, by two Arabs, one of whom was afterwards beheaded by the Turkish Government. According to their usage the decapi tation is performed with a scimitar. and the council of the nation, demandifx satisfaction, is expected to be present. Dr. and Mrs. Raynolds. recently from Chicago, go as far as Beirut, and then return to Messina for a two weeks' inland journey to their mis sionary station at Harorob. near the Euphrates, in the eastern division of Turkey, as sub divided by cur Board At Smyrna, two of their party, Miss Delia Griswold and Miss M. C. Beach, lei t lor Constantinople, on their way to Philippopohs, in the western lur key Division. Miss Proctor, while on a visit to the United States, lectured in Chicago and other portions ot the W est, on missionary labors and prospects. Al of these missionaries have to take furniture and many other household supplies, besides Baddies, &o., with them from the United States, shipping sometimes by the way ot irebizond in the uiacK oea. iney sailed irom the port of Marseilles, and were anx iously hastening to their great work in behalf ot Greeks and Armenians THE PORTS OF ALEXANDRETTA AND LATAKIA. The former is tho northern port for Aleppo, and exports oottoo, oil and fruits. Near here is the only pass through the mountains for some dis--tance, and it is considered the one by whioh Alexander led his army, after his victory over Darius, on the plains ot Issus. It is also called Iskandarain (or Icandaroon), and is laid down by the geological map of Sir It. Murchison as being, like much of this coast tertiary. Oa goiDg ashoro at Latakia, cr the ancient Laodicea, I found it also chiefly tertiary limestone, of yellow color and sporous texture. There are her interesting Roman remains of a quadrangular building, having four arches, and terminating at the com msncement of tbe dome in an octa gon. Several Corinthian columns, not far distant, seem to have been part cf a portico, ibe Arabs were abund ant in tbe Bazar, and tbe vegetation begins to assume a tropical form there being numerous palm trees and largo specimens of the cactus, or prickly pear (cactus opuntia). But the chief attraction" about Laodicea is its claim to being one of the seven churches mentioned by John in the ltevelations. it was originally founded about 293 B. C. by tne nrst or the Beieueicoe, cseleucus iNicator, and named after his mother A river, near by, forms the northern boundary ot the ancient Pccemcia We hope soon to bo in Beirut, realizing tne commencement ot our ardent de sire for Holy Lnd travel, in the ful expectation of finding all "from Dan to isersheba replete with the most vivid interest.
