Notes of Travel.

Niaoaba, Aug. 81, 1870. Editobs Rbmsulamb Union: My last to you left our party doing the CenteuniaL After ajten days sojourn in the city of “Brotherly love,” during which time a dying glimpse was taken of the main points of interest, we left for New York, where we registered at Earls Hotel, on Centre and Canal streets, near Broadway. Wall street, with its gold maddened ihrong, leaves a strange accompaniment to Trinity church cemetery at its head, where repose the dead of two centuries. Eminent divines mostly absent taking a summer’s vacation, which deprives excursionists of the privilege of hearing those clerical celebrities, who dispense the gospel in an artistic manner for an artitlic salary. Spent half a day in shopping at Stewart’s, Hearn’s and other houses on Broadway, putting 'the pther half at Central park. First a back was taken for the prin•pal drives, then on foot the chief tractions were sought This park contains many fine pieces of 'statuary; the cave is quite as gloomy and the inhabiting owls as large eyed as could be desired, the walks as delightfully romantic and picturesque, but the natural grandeur and magnificent proportions of Fairmount park at Philadelphia far surpass all this. Our nation's metropolis is said to contain, at the present, thousands, who from lack of employment are on the point of starvation. Many bouses shut up entire, and those open operating with as small force as possible. A run from New York to Long Branch by boat, “Crystal Wave,’’ to Sandy Hook, then by rail secured an ocean glimpse at the Hook, and a touch of sea sickness while tossing oyer the billows of New York Bay. At Long Branch all seems leisure and ease. Hotels well filled, but quiet and homelike. A bath in the surf gave a good taste of salt water in both mouth and ears, compensated only by trophies in the shape of snow white stones and shells, seaweed and a tiny wavelet secured in a Crystal prison, but recently vacated by violet perfume. Yes; and one has the supreme satisfaction of laying away in memory’a ‘ gallery the graceful appearance of themselves and fellow bathers in those navy blue and other colored nondescript suite, rented at extravagant rates, by the various hotel bathing houses. A three mile drive on Ocean avenue shows the principal hotels, among which the “West End” ranks first, being the most aristocratic, commodious and expensive Here also may be seen the various cottages of the “favored <ew” who frequent this summer capital. Among these are the residences of Bishoo Simpson, Maggie Mitchell, Jno. Morrisey, James Fisk (that was), U. S. Grant and many others. The president occupies the cottage presented him, while his other and outwardly more attractive one brings a rental of eleven thousand dollars per annum. Back to New York; up the Hudson river on day boat, “C. Vibbard,” through the magnificent, renowned scenery on either band to Albany. Thence by rail to Buffalo, and here. Niagara Falls is, proverbially, a place where you cannot breathe without incurring expense. Well, that depends somewhat upon the capabilities of the breathist. Should he be deliberate, and do a little thinking and walking, be may be enabled to behold the beauties of the glorious work of the Creator without actual bankruptcy. It seems as if the awe inspiring sublimity of the Falls should be accessible to all the world. But sober thought whispers that expenses of those two magnificent suspension bridges, to say nothing of the smaller ones, walks, drives, etc., must be met, and that the yearly harvest is but brief. Many thousands from various parts of the World are here, but daily changing. Those who to-day stand wrapt in admiration, watching the millions of tons of rainbow frosted liquid thunder with an almost Irresistible longing to plnnge into the seething spray and rush away with the mad waters, to-morrow may be dreaming, not so lengthily as Rip Van Winkle, but almost as oblivious of the great busy world, at some aerl>l retreat among the Catskills, or

rushing pellmell over mountain and plain to greet the loved ones in a western home To-day at your hotel you may dine with him, meet him in a drive on the Canada side this p. m. and pass him in that wouderfbl inclined railway car which takes you to the very edge of the “whirlpool.” To morrow he is h sit way to the “Centennial,” or homeward bound to tell of America to those beyond the sea. But—l'm terribly sleepy. Niagara river is rippling under my very window; the operalie strains of the bands have ceased to fill the charmed air of the hotel veranda, and the runhing, tumbling waters of the cataract but a few feet distant, seem telling me good night as they hurry their moonlit surfaces away to mingle with the roar beyond. Almost asleep.

Remington Becord Items, 22d Inst

Merrill Mead and family removed to Marion, Ind., last week....A team belonging to Sheffler’s livery stable ran away with Jake Wolf Wednesday evening. Jake was thrown from the buggy, but received no serious injuries.... Mr. J. O. B. McDougle has sold hie dry goods store to J. H. Tribby A C0....Mr. S. A. Morgan and wife teturned from a prolonged trip through the East, last Saturday morning. They yisited the Centennial and with friends in the New England States. Mr. Morgan, who was not enjoying the best of health when he left here, is now looking well and hearty....Tbro’ the efficiency of Joseph D. Cowden, Esq., who has been assisting in the auditor's officeof this county, ten thousand more acres of land are now on the duplicate than heretofore. A gentleman of Mr. Cowden’s ability ia a necessity to any county, and the county that can secure his services is certainly fortunate. ... After Hon. Geo. Major’s speech Monday evening, the Legal Tender Club, numbering about 70 members, was organised, with the following officers: President, Dr. D. H. Patton; treasurer, 8. M. Black; secretary, A. J. Kitt..,. Apples are worth 35 cents per bushel; potatoes are dull sale at 25 cents; the price of butter keeps pace With the flavor, and that article now retails at 10 cents per pound; “streakiest” lard is dealt out at 17 cents per pound; hams slip through the clerks’ fingers at 17 cento, and chickens are lifted from the coop at 82 per doxen. Grapes are worth Scents per pound, and onions retain their scent at 75 cents per busel.

The rennion.

We doubt if thsrs is • single democrat in Marlon county who bats been comfortable in his mind since Wednesday last. A democrat dreads a revival of ths wsr feeling as the devil hates holy water, and the gathering from all quarters of such immense numbers of old soldiers has satisfied them that the war feeling has been thoroughly aroused by the “solid south,” and is now stronger than it has boon since the close of ths war The impudent and defiant course of the confederate element in the lest congrsar, the millions of peboi claims already on file aud awaiting a favorable opportunity to be put through; the arrogant resumption of plantation manners by the “united south;” all serve to warn us that another attempt at the disruption of ths government is not by anv means improbable. The surviving soldiers of the war tor the suppression of the rebellion feel this, and it inspired them to come to Indianapolis, and once more renew battle memories, and pledge their vows to fight if necessary again, toerunb the spirit of treason in the truculent and implacable south.

It is useless to discuss the question of numbers. Estimates of loose crowds are always unreliable. Bat it democratic tongues kept up an appearance of courage, demuclatic faces, more candid, plainly told of tho dismay that the demonstration bad carried to democratic hearts. “Reform” trembled ia Its boots suit witnessed the endlcM throng of bronsed faces andgriuled beards, and read the earnest determination expressed in their countenances to vote as they shot. As we have said, it is not worth while to attempt an estimate of numbers, bat the city seemed fuller than ft over was before. Throughout tbs entire line of the procession Tnuraday, ths streets and sidewalks were literally jammed with spectators. There were twice a» many eoMien out of tbe proces-

eion as in it, for your veteran has an instinctive dislike to playing soldier. He has seen too much of the real thing. The democracy have been dreadfully distressed at the “imposition” practicticed on the honest soldier, by enticing him to attend a reunion gotten up entirely for “political effect.” Bless their sympathetic hearts! It «s rather rough on them that a reunion of soldiers al ways lessens their chances of getting into the pnblio crib. It is their misfortune fihat anything which revives memories of the sufferings, glory and triumph of our soldiers in the field, should just as inevitably revive memories of the sneaking treason of copperheads and sons of liberty in the rear. It is their misfortune that history is against them Of course these reunions are political. They couldn't be anything else in effect, unless the soul was taken out of them. The opposition of the democratic party to the war for the suppression of the rebellion is as ineffaceably fixed in the public mind as the war itself, and you cannot think of one without thinking of the other. Of course many soldiers who fought bravely for the old flag are now democrats but their action now can not wipe out the disgrace which ia eternally and ineradicably fixed upon the party as a party. There could be no reunion of soldiers that would not be a terrible political operating against the success of the democratic party. — Indianapolit Htrald.
