I have stood upon the laurel hills of ihe Alleghanies, and looked often wiih the joy of youthful delight upon the varigated scenery of my native hills; but never in my whole life, did I enjoy with a richer gusto. a scene of observation, ith the naked eye than when I stood, lhe other day, upon lhe tocky bights of one of "the Albany knobs' and looked down upon Louisville, Jeffer- : sonville, Shippenpnit, Portlmd, Albany, &c., all with a single coups d'oeil. The scene was rich and highly romantic, especially w hen the broad silvery w aters of the Ohio, are included iu. the projniwme of the picture. It has been a matter of ivonder lo me that this fplendid scenery has never called forth the active energies of any one of our Western Artists. A steel plate or mezzo" linio engraving of this picturesque and delightful landscape and river scenery, if accompanied by a fair and general des cription of the facilities for business, the. high moral character and intelligence of the citizenship, w ithin the range of my post of observation, w ould be admired bymany thousands, and induce many who are seeking homes in the West, to make it ihe cheerful and chosen home, of friendly association, and future years. The population ofNew Albany, I think is not much over 5000. The people are generally intelligent, moral tnd amiable. Perhaps a greater portion orthe people are religious in this city, than in any or the towns along the Ohio river. The different Churches are well represented here.thrugh lhe Methodists, as is lhe case generally in west, are considerably lhe mosl numerous. They have tw o tegular charges, beside the German mission, and perhaps number 8 or 9 hundred of a membership. There are two branches of the Presbyierians, and two or Ihe Daptists all having large and respectable Churches. We were impressed with the idea lhat Albany was well supplied with Churches, and ought to be a religious town. I had the pleasure, the other day of hearing the Rev. Mr. Anes, who is, I believe, lhe Presiding Elder, in this District. Mr. A. is I suppose neat 40 years or age, a little above the ordinary height, and furrurnishe abundant evidence to every one. that he is fond of good living, being the very picture of health, and withal quite corpulent. He is no doubt a man of maslerly powers of mind, and lhe subject of; Christianity, which is, from tne very na- ! lure of his office, his daily iheme, finds in him one of the slrongest and most digni fied advocates, which it has been my priv physical corpulency of Mr. A., unless he is moved upon by powerful impulse and excitement, will greatly hinder that active exercise of his mind, w hich is so essentially necessaiv for the mature devclopements of masteily geniu?.

I was greatly pleased to learn that a cit izen of this city, Mr. Robert Downy, has . . maae a discovery in the tannin" of leallr or . . ".iitn iii Buperseue in a few years' me present mode entirely. By this invention Mr. Downy can tan hides, make better leather, and with less expense, in less than one third of the time usually necessary in tanning in the old fashioned way. I taw some of his feather, tanned according to the principles or his discovery, and and it is pronounced lo be better than any other for firmness, life and elasticity. I believe there is but one yard in the ciiy, now engaged in making leather on the "Downy principle," and their leather sells as rast as it can be brought into market and at a very fair price loo. Mr. Downy has obtained a patent, and is making arrangements at a proper time to sell the right al a very reasonable price to any person who may wish to purchase.

Tbe Methodist Episcopal Conference met yesterday morning, and there was a very Urge representation of ministers present. After ' organizing a resolution wis pS6ted that the business of the session be conducted with closed doors. The reason for this is to allow a freedom oi debate on tbe subject of slavery, which in this State it would be impossmle to have in publicas any preacher who should he known to be opposed to slavery, and should so express himself in public, would never be allowed to preach in tbe slave-holding counties.

We don't know how the parson prays or preaches, for he docs both, being a reverend minister of the church, as"wellasa whig "up lo the hub," but if he prays or preaches w ith half the fervency he berates a political opponent, he is Jicincly enthusiastic. The parson, it appears during the pendency of the lale presidential election, offered to send his paper to various demo, crats for seven months for one dollar' "payable in the event of the election of Henry Clay." This by some of his political opponents was construed into a bet, contrary to the statute, and a grand jury found a true bill against his Reverence. The case was subsequently submitted toajury of twelve citizens, who unanimously pronounced lhe parson not guilty. Now hear how he speaks of an individual w ho had. some agency in having him prosecuted"But llaynes -a villain so replete with scoundrelism in all its phazes so abounding in hopeless rottenness so tinged with moral turpitude so stained with political and personal dishonesty so clothed with deception so perfectly saturated and iwpregnaled w ith crime, folly, double deal ing, with rascality and hypocrisy this selfish mercenary, dishonest trickster, religious gambler and business cheat, desired company, that he might have the exquisite pleasure of publishing to the world, that he was not Ihe only infamous newspaper editor in Tennessee!
