For ahout that time I loolv'mv lirst lool: at the external l eauties of nature.

And I regret to say that! this was not :.r. isolated instance where such gross and palpahh; want of 'Kind trcatnu'nt and sympathy was exhibited in passing through the Stare. With the solitary exception of Zanesville, the same uniform cold and heartless indiil'ercnce was manifested by the citizens in towns, villages ami country. Zanesville alone was the exception, and I take great j lea.Niire in recording the fact. Here we were nut by scores of ladies, with hot coüVe, and baskets filled with pies and cakes. Two eating houses near the depot, had alro prepared colleo for eight hundred men; and one of them furni-hed an excel lent meal for the oüiccrs, free of charge. Such evidence of kindness and liberality towards the soldiers is keenly appreciated ami gratefully remembered by them. Long life and pleasant dreams to the people of Zanesville, and especially to those noble and generous-hearted ladies.
