Correspodence of the Intt American. VisfESNta, In-d. Sept. 14th. 1846. 3r. Editor: If you will allow a traveller to borrow the livery c an editor to write a letter in, and use the significant ire you shall be provided with a few letters from the fir west. Ordinarily travellers westward take the rout via Indianapolis and Terre Haute, but we, having business in the southern part of Indiana, preferred to take the stage for Cincinnati, boat for Louisville, and stage for Vincennes, &c. Of our first day's travel we need say but little. The roads were good, the stage and team fine, (of course it was not Ross's) and we were soon at the city. We found to our surprise that the city has extended out to the Brighton House, and surrounded all "Texas" which but a few years ago was a suburb "two miles out." "The everlasting hills" which for a while seemed to stand and say, "Thus far shall thou come, and no farther,' are bowing to give way, and already the traveller finds himself at least half way up before he is awareof the ascent and in a few years the city, will like Rame , be pearched on her seven hills. While looking- from "Mt. Adams." over the city

we thought ot our nrst visit "to town" as it was familliarly called, less than twenty years ago. Then the shop, keepers were just familiarizing themselves with the word City? and yet occasionally, by mistake would say "best article in turn city," and we can not forget the indignant l'.ok and lone of one of our coupany, after visiting several shops and stores one morning; "Did you notice, they all say city? implying that this was a misnomer, wholly insufferable. From the hill one object almost monopolizes the attention. It is the great Catholic Cathedral. It towers above its neighbors to a hight that is incredible, and only when above it so as to compare it with other objects around it, can you form any ide o( its vastness. We would gladly offer some reflections on its building and influence but it would not comport with the design of this letter. One word to travellers visiting Cincinnati. and we will leave it. We would be glad to recommend to you some temperance hoiue, at which you might receive good accommodations and not be railed upon to patronize men who are dealing out poieon and death to their fellow men. But at present we can not do it- We tried one. and heard from others, and until new I arrangements are made, so that we can have a clean bed, and have our baggage carried toonr room when needed we will endure the grief of patronizing other houses. But we learn from Mr. Yaughan of the Gazette that the project is on foot of furnishing and keeping a good tempe rance house in the business part of the city. We left the city in the Mail Uoat for Louisville. Better boats do not run. Aniong the distinguished men on board were Hon(?) Mr. Grave of Ky. the murderer of Cilley, and Mr. Yaughan, editor of the Gazette. These men had occasional conversation together, and it was inter. esting to hear such intelligent men on the various topics pf the day. Graves is a Whig, and Yaughan you know "isn't any thing else." Yet they had controversies. The subject of Slavery, its political bearing. &c. was the main question. Vaughan showed that it was the slave interest that brought on the war, gave away Oregon, passed the tariff, vetoed the harbor bill, and made Graves reluctantly acknowedge the lacts. In conversation Graves seemanimated and you hardly would have supposed that such a man could have been guilty of an act that mnst make life miserable and will cover his memory with iufamy,and cause his children to blush at the mention of murder. We know that South ern morals which teach that might gives right, justifies the murder, if, in his hellish deed he has exposed his own life. We at opposite him in the evening, just before the lamps were lit. He was alone nd seemed buried in thought. Twilight is favorable to reflection. As we had just been improving the moments in recalling the past, we wondered if his mind was not then lingering around the scenes of death. Perhaps he was picturing in his mind the family of his victim the hour that the sad tidings of the death of the husband and father, first reached them. Perhaps he was reflecting upon the blighted influence his example would have on ihe ri.in no,..-.... rising generation; perhaps contemplating the account that ha must soon five at the bar of God. Yaughan is a different man. Though butlimitedly acquainted with him, e take him to be one of God's noblemen. OfLouisville we will say but lillle at present. It is far from being Cincinnati. and will yet be farther, if it must yet conlend with slavery. A comparison of Louisville with Cincinnati will forcibly impress on your mind the truth of a saying oi UieexcentricRandopli-"If Slaves will not run from their master?, 'their masters

will run from them." A citizen of Louisville said more to us while contrasting the two cities, and speaking of the influence of slavery, than we would have dared to

sa. "You see," said he, "we drive away all cur mechanic." Pointing to some beautiful lamps, he added, "we make none of those, nor such sofa, no? such door locks, nor such fine chairs, nor any thing requiring much skill; except it is at such a price that the Cincinnati mechanics can come and undersell us." How true this is you will learn by visiting the Mail Boats and seeing them, discharging such articles every morning. The streets are dirty, and every thing indicates that you hate passed- from the land of the free to the home of the slave. But you will want some place to take breakfast, before you leave. Well, if you wish to follow in the footsteps of an illustrious predecessor, just give a darkie a dime, your carpet bag. and umbrella; take yeur cane, & follow him to the Gait House. But be careful or they will be full. To be sure of a reception you should look a lit tle gutilish, have your pants strapped down and coat brushed &c. and to be sure of s safe departure you must have half a dollar far the pleasure of looking at large plates nearly empty, castors, spoons, knives, servants, and w'uhall eating a little of the most common fare, dishes fcc excepted But to iro elsewhere would be vulcar. In our next we will tell you of our trip.from Louisville to this place. Yours &c. A Yankee Mexican. A yout.jj mm from one of the Eastern Staies, named H. Clay Davis, who was at Co'pns Chrisli last winter with the army, has since married a wealthy Mexican lady near Camargo. He obtains by his marriage a very large tract of land opposite Camargo, and fronting on the river, which, from its location being at the head of navigation, and on the American side, of the Rio Grande, will ere long prove a princely fortune to him. He has laid out a town upon it, which is already attracting attention, and several merchants, formerly doing business at Corpus Christi, intend settling there immediately. The New Orleans Delta tells the following annecdote, of which Davis is the hero. Ctrl. Alias. The first party who took possession of Camargi, were a body of Uegulars, limited in numoer. They were to have metfMcCulivich's Ringers at a certain point near the town, and to advance on it together. l'hev did not . but yet, the navigation being difficult nil tho nirtlit hpinw it a rlt . the boat Ulowly pursued hiTr winding way up the Grt-nde river. When a few miles south of -'go. ,l Dcin2 stl" P'tcny aarnness they discerned a light a they ma le the turn of the river, not far distant from its banks. 'He quint et ese Ranchur" ("Whose Kaucho is thal!"( said the officer in command, putting- li s hand to his mouth and making an artificial speaking trumpet of it, the better to convey his question. "It's mine," said a voice the owner of which popped his head out of the chaparral, and to the Spanish question replied in a good, stubborn Yankee, independent tone "iTs mine, and I should Ilka to know who the h -II has any claim against it!" "As you are an American, come on board," said the officer." "Weil, I won't do any thingelee, soldier," said II. U. Davis, "and devilish glad I am of your arrival in tese parts. 1 have been worn to death sleeping out in his chaparral for the last fortnight, fearing the treachery of these rascally Mexicans if I Bleep at home; not, if I got lair play, that I would not fear a doen of them." He got on board, and at daylight procured a Mexican Messenger to go in and inform the Alcalde, that if the Americans were permitted to enter the town without opposition, all private property would be res peeled. The Alcalde, assented, and in an hour afterwards, II. Clay Davis, the Mexican planter, marched into ths captureJ city with his American cnu atry mn. Appropriations of Congress.

A true Story. In the evening oi the day on which Alice arrived at S , a great experience meet ing was to be held in one of the Churches. Her friend, who had become enthusiastic in the cause, urged her to go to this meeting, which Alice did, a'thoug U, with a feeling of reluctance. The housa was crowded above and below. The preliminaries usually appertaining to such meetings having been arranged a brief opening address was made by one of the ministers. A reformed man then related his experience with great effect. After he had finished there was a pause of nearly a minute. At

length a man who had been seated far back. ith his face paitly '.urned from the audi ence, arose slowly, and moved to the front of the stage. A half suppressed exclamation escaped Alice, as her eyes caught the well-known features of him who had been her husband, while a quick thrill ran through her. Then her frame trembled in acord with ber fluttering heart. The face, of Mr- Djlancy had greatly changed since ahe had last looked upon it. Its calm dignified elevation had been restored, but with what difference what before was cheerful wag sad. very sd. "Mr. President," Re began in a broken voice, "although I had consented at your urgent solicitation, to address this large assembly to-ni?bt, yet I Lave felt so strong a reluctance to do so, that it has been with the utmost difficult I could drag myself forward. v But I had passed my word, 1 could not violate it. As to relating my experience, that I do not think I can venture upon. The past I dare not recall. Would to heaven that just ten years of my life were blotted out." The speaker paused a moment, already much affected. Then returning a firmer voice, he said: "But something must be 6iid of my own case, or I shall (nil to make that impression on your minds that I wish to produce. ''Pictures of real life touch the heart with power, while abstract presentations of truth glitter coldly in the intellectual regions of the mind and thus fade from the perception like figures in a Diorama. "Your speaker once stood among the first members at the bar in a neighboring State. Nay, more than that he represented his county for three yeans in, the Assembly of the Commonwealth. And more than thatj still occupied a seat in Congress for two' Congressional periods." At this announcement the stillness of death pervaded the crowded assembly. "And yet more thin that," ho continued, his voice sinking into a low thrilli ng tone "he once had a tenderly loved wife and two sweet children. But ail these honors all the blessings have departed from him," he continued, his voice growing louder and deeper in his efforts to control himself "He was unworthy !to retain thera! His constituents threw him off because he had debised himself and disgraced the m. And worse than all she who had loved him devotedly she who had borne him two dear babes, was forced to aa in Jon him, and seek an asylum in her father's house. And why! Could I becomo 60 changed in a few short years! What power was there to abase me that my fellow beings spurned, and even the wife of my bosom turned away heirtelricken from me! Alas! my friends, it was a mad indulgence in mockery! A very demon a Circe, changing the human into the bestial. But for this, I were an honorable and useful representative in Congress, pursuing after my county's good, and blessed in te home circle with wife and children. B it 1 have not told you allAfter my wile s;pe rated from me, I sank rapidly. A state of perfect 6obricty brought too many terrible thoughts, I therefore drauk more freely, and was rarely, if ever, from under the bewildering effects of partial intoxication. I remained in the same village for some years, but never saw her during that time nor a glimpse of my children. At last I became 6u abandoned in my life, th it my wife, urged on by her friends, n uouot. tiled an application or a d ivorce, and as cause could easily be shown why it should be granted, aseperation was legally declared. To complete my dis grace, at the next Congressional canvass. 1 was felt off the t icket, as unlit to represeni the district. 1 left the country and Slate where I had lived fro n my boyhood up. Three years hive passed since then. For two ye irs of this period I abandoned myself to the fearful itnpuUeof appetite I ha acq aired. 1 hen I heard or this new movement the great temperance cause. At first I sneered, then wondered, listened at last, and finally threw myself upon the great wave that ws sweeping onward, in the hope of beimr carried by it fir out of tho reach of dinger, and I did not hope with a vain hope. It did for me all and more than I could have deemed. It set me once more upon my leet once more undo a man of me. A year of sobriety, earnest devotion to my profusion, and fervent prayer to Hun who alone gives strength iu every good resolution, his restored to me mach that 1 have lost but not all not the richest treasure that I proved myself unworthy to retain not my wife and children. Ah! between myself anJ these the law has laid its stern and impassible interdiction. 1 have no longer a wiie; no longer children, though my ueart goes out to. wards these dearly beloved ones with the tenderest yearnings. Pictures of early daysof wedded love are ever lingering in my imagination. I dream of tna sweet tire sida circle. I see ever befere me the onoo placid face of my Alice, as her eyes looked into my owu with nitailigoat contilence. 1 feel her arms twine aroun.' my nack; the music of her voice is ever sounding in my ear." Here the speaker's emotions overct iu him. His utterauce bocame choked, and he stood silent, with bowed head and trembling limbs. The dense mass of pjople were bushel into an oppressive sttiliiiss, that was broken hire ani thore by hilt" stilled sobs. At mis mo. ne. it llirtj was a moveuieiil in tho crowd. A smgl i fe oi ito figure, befora whom every o:u apiardJ instinctively ti give way, was sjen pissing up tha aisie. This was not ooserveJ by Delancy, until she had co.na nearly in fro it of the platform on which he stood. Tuen Ha movement cau?ht his ear, and hft'ii his eyes, they instantly fell on Alice for it was she that pressing onvard tie oe n forward towards her with sudden uplifted hands aud ea-rer eves, and slood like a statue until she had gained the stand and ad1 vnral nmallit n hid aiiiA. I4 1 1 T & IU JUl'dTlt the two siood thus, the whole auJience thrilled with tin tCene, were npju their

feet and bending forward. Then Delancy opened his arms, and Alice threw herself upon his bosom with a quick wild gesture. Thus for the space of a minute they stood every one fully, by a singular intuition, understanding the scene. On 8 of the ministers then came forward, and gently eepsraled them . "No, no," slid Dalancy, "you mu3i not, you cannot take hsr away from me. "Heaven forbid thit I should do that!'' replied the minister. "By your own confession she is not your wife." "But she is ready to renew Ler vows again," Alio said, smiling through lie r tears, that now reigned over her face. Before that large assembly, all slanging, and with few dry eyes, was said in a broken voice, tu3 marriage ceremony that gave Delancy and Alice to each other. As tho minister an aged man with thin white locks finished the rite, he laid his hands, upon tha heads of the two be had joined in holy biads, and lifted his aged eyes that streamed with drops of gladness, he said, in a solemn voice, "IFrW G id hnhjoined together, Ut no Rl'M put asunder." "Amen!" was cried by the whole assembly, as with a single voice.

Thr Great Pacific Railroad. We now offer a few remarks upon the practicability of this project. In HOo Mr. Jefferson, then President, sent Captain s Lewis and Clarke, with a party of soldiers, to explore the country from the -Mississippi river, along the Missouri, to the Pacific Ocean. Even then, Mr. Jefferson, with that foresight which enabled him to look far over the heads of his coteinporaries, to the immense importance of Louisiana to the Union, perceived, across the continent, up the Missouri and down the Cln nii, the shortest avenue to the trade of China and India, that source of wealth wh en had successively raised umpires, and for which the Caucasian race had Leen contending for mors than three, perhaps f ir ten thousand years. Railro ids were then unknown. And had they never been invented, the avenue foreseen by Mr. .lefftrton, and for whose exploration he sent the expedition commanded by Lewis and Clarke, would have been destined hereafter to. this traJe. B.ut if this navigation of the rivers is to be superceded by railro ids, and a more di rect and permanently open route is thus to be obtained, the superiority of Mr. Jeff.-r-son over his opposing cotemporaries in statesmanlike forsight, is not the less conepicous: and the explorations of Lwis and Clarke have been the basis of all subsequent examinations of the country between the Mississippi and the Pacific. The route proposed by Mr. Whitney for his railroad, proceeds from Lake Micbigm, acxoig the Mississippi above the mouth ol the Wisconsin, thence across the Missouri above the mouth of the Great I'latte, be tween the Council Ululls and the Ureal Bend, a little below Int. 43, anJ thence to llm Rrnal S, 1. P iaj nhillt I ' 3D. and thence alon the vall.-v of Li wis' Riv er, which is the Southern main branch of the Columbia, to the head of ship navigation upon the latter, or to the bay of St. I'rari cisco, as miy hereafter be decided Tak ing the great .South Pass as a point of departure Eastward and Westward, our first object is to ascfrtain the respective distances and elevat ions. Aocording to Col Fremont, quoted in the report of Senator Breae.the elevation o f the highest point in this Pass, above the Gulf of Mexico, is 7400 leet. Col. hrcmniit, w l.oexplnred the valley of tha Great Platte, from its mouth to th's Pass, in 1312, d !s:no si it as an open Prarie region, with an asce.it al nisi or quits imperceptible by th? irivellcr. He was accompanied by a Air. Cirson, who had resided in that regi in for 17 years, who had frequently crossed l!e I'ies.and1 was thoroughly aciuamted with the route. Yet with all his experience, he w is oblig-sd to watch very closely, to a-iseriaio wlu'n he had reacheJ thu culmin iti i ' p iiui o ' tii'i I'ass through the Rocky M mniinii. Toe distance of the (Jre-it i'ass to the m uth of the Kansa. is Oii'2 miles, and from th mouth of the I'latte, ths latter biing about Jii0 miles higher on the .Missouri than the former; and as the mouth of me Ivans is is 7iM feet above the Gulf of Mexico, and that of the I'i ills a Iritlo more, llu averagt accent from either point to the Pass, is only aout7 feet by the m'le.

It was expected the Grand Jury, to whom the subject was given in charge, would check up this open violation of law, but that body "r.-futed to consider the mailer;" thus virtually giving liberty to all to violate the law! This victcry over law was to be publicly celebrated. A cannon was procurred; powder was purchased, by a leading man, who declared it a 'victory of principle over aristocracy, and this the first time that juslice had ever been done in that old Court House!" The big gun was fired amid cheers, tec, for this victory over law, morality, and good order, and this victory was publicly celebrated! O shame where is thy blush!
