aside to what appeared to be a public house, intending to water my Locomotive, but was informed that they were out ol that article. I then inquired whether they '"had any liquor," but they informed me that they were unable to alTored that, unless it was ci.'er, so you see that they were not able to accomodate, either man or horse. So I proceeded
on my way to the vicinity of Madison,
and dined with my old friend Rev. C. W. Rutcr, the Presiding Elder of Madi
son District, and spent a pleasant hour
with him, and his family at his retired, and beautiful residence on "the hill."
Madison I found to present marks of
prosperity, and had improved very con
siderably since! last passed through it.
They are progressing with the rail road on the new route, by which they design
to overcome tho hill. It will doubtless
be a great improvement over the old grade, though I suppose the distance will be greater. The plank road from Madi
son to Lexington, I found quite an im
provement on the old route. I passed through the town of Hanover, the scat
of the college of the same name. It has
had to struggle with many difficulties for an existence, but I apprehend it will yet live, lor I understand they ore erecting new building?, on a beautiful site, on the brow of the hill, and which will overlook the Ohio River, for a considerable distance up and down its channel.

This is a remarkably healthy place as

munity, we work forour living and pay our debts, but it is a fact we do not do all that is enjoined upon us from the
pulpit. There is an establishment here that is a reproach to our town city I mean. That ia n vile distillery, situated right at the Steam Boat landing. A concern that rolls out forty barrels of whiskey per day forty barrels of tear and prouns of infamy, anguish and death. The doleful hum of its machinery eeems a mockery of the stifled groans ot widowhood and its destruction of corn, a tlori-
of ventilating" tho church iu this place.
But then there is good reason for this, for instead of atlemping to warm the whole house with ono stove, ai they used to do in Brookville they have tour, so that you may guess it would be rather wnrui some times without some safety valve. Front Charleston to this plsce they have an excellent double track plank road also so that with the ex;eption of sixteen miles, there is a continuous plank road from Vcrsailes to this place, and I would advise you or any of mv old friends, when you waut to tako a pleas

Une has said " The 5 roves were God's first le.riples,"
and hence, before the erection of the "holy
and beautiful house" ou Mount Moriah, it
was bailing that among the munificent ce
dars that crowned the summit ol Lebanon
or in the deep rocky glens, the mystic broth
erliood should hold theircoleuiu convocations. The labors of the ancient Craft were usually in the forests and qaurrles, procuring and prepurUig muterials I ir the erecliou of mighty structures; aud cousequeutly , their ir.e tin. s during such times, inut hive beeu
usually held out of doors, there were no buildings lu the forests that grew on the mountain sides uuicrowifid the summits of uncieut Lebauo'i, lu which the numerous workmen could aomule. The plains of
äuücolli and Zersdutha were equally destitute, Tor the Inhabitants of the eouutry Ow-lt mostly in tent.

Respected Fathers and Bkethri:
We, as a people, have abundant reason
to exclaim, "the Lord has done great things for us." We have been irreatly
prosperad ever aince our first organization in the state. There has b.pn .
steady increase in numbers, in strength,' and influence, and in all the departments
of the Church a vast improvement; and, tothehonorofourpeople.be it stated, we have as pure a form ol Methodism in
the general as is to be found in any State in the Union; and owing to this fact, we have been but little annoyed by schis

the ministers, while they have heartily . i . i . . . . -

I remember well the first session of the Indiana Conference, wjiich met in an upper room in New Albany, more than twenty-one years ago. A more devoted,a more united band of ministers never lived, than those comprising that Conference. I saw then and there, what I should love to sea again at our Conferences, a most powerful revival of religion during tho session. Indiana Conference had a good start. Tho in ost impressive scene I think I ever witnessed occurred at tho close of that Conference, while the Presiding Bishop announced the appointments. The circuits and missions then were circuits and missions in fact, as well ns in name.J There were hearts there that throbbed, and eyes bedimmed with tears, at the thought of a long move, a dreary journey, and no certainty of a homo then long rides, hard fare, and meagre support while the more favored fr tho A .

judiciously, thoroughly, and faithfully.
A Qnpstion Mettled. - It has been !on understood that the northernmost route to the Pacific must havii a great Advantage over the Central. or the Southern trie, from the fact that it is yery much shorter. By that way
we ehall not only reach the great Ve-
crn ocean sooner than by any other but.
when there, ue are much tearer to the
Oriental World, whose commerce is thought by some to be a very extensive and profitable affair. It is not only t
much briefer journey from Lake Surjeii--
or to Pugel's Sound than from St. Louis or Memphis to San Francisco, but from
there we can reach Yedo or Canton with two days' less steaming. This fact has , caused the Northern route to be regard
ed with respect even by those who are
moct anxious that some other line should be fixed on. But still t very serious
doubt has rendered its advocates some
what uncertain and backward. It baa
been surmised that possibly no rood pass
could be found to conduct the road thro
the barrier of the Rocky mountains, aod it has been feared that however excel- . lent and fuvorable the country on both sides of that great ridge, it might be necessary alter all to renounce this line and to etile either cn that advocated by
Col. Benton, or that of Texas.
This doubt has now been extinguished.
Governor Stevens, at the held of the
Northern Exploring Expedition reports
that there are several good panes, one of them combining every desideratum, .
and that thete is no hlndcrance to the
conduction c the road ever the line be
has traversed. His letter,which appears
in the Tribune this morning, i highly explicit on this question. The eutire line has been investigated by his own party going webt, and by that of Lieut. Saxlon, who started from the Pacific and came eastward; and though it cannot he said that the whole country ha been explored on both aides, and every mountain pass examined, so that the best porsible line can be exactly laid down for all the distance, not a doubt remains that the Northern Route is pr:cctly leasikle, and indeed singularly fayorablc for tbe execution of this great highway. And not only do the mountains inter
pose no obitüc le.Lut tbe country from Lake Superior to the Pacific is described as exceedingly fertile and adapted for settlement. The rase is not so encouraging for either of the other lines. The Central lino runs zig-zag, and traverses barren districts where fuel and water do not abound. The Mexan route lies along the Gila, whose craggy gorge cannot be used for a railroad bed: or else it crosaeathe border of Mexico and makes a long' stretch through a region not our own. None of these inconveniences attach to the Puget's Sound line. That ruus with greot tlirectues through a highly productive territory, well wooded, and well watered, end has at its western terininas one of the noblest harbors of the world. The sole objection that can be raised gainstit is the accumulation of snow usual iu norhcrn latitudes in winter. On this head important facts will no doubt be given in Gov. Stevens's official report, which will be in Washington in
season lor the opening of Congress. But certain it is that on tue greater portion o( this route there are no such slows as fall on the railroads iu the central part ol New York, and that at the wortt there is nothing iiior t'oubleeome than is const nntly ex peril, need on the railroads of Maine- We all now how much theaeroads arc obstructed iu the winter; when the mow drills upen them, appliance alwnys at baud toon clear the track, aud the circulation; is never delayed beyond a day. Uu the Puget'a Soundroad it would not be more serious; and at ory rate there would be no such terrible depths of snow there as ColFremont had lo encounter in New Mexfco in I860. The clearing p of all doubts relativeto this lino is not the only good done by the Expedition. It has settled many other questions with regard to the nat--u ral features of that vast and hitherto un
known region, and has opened to our
