[EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.) | Cincinnati, May 31, 1856, This trip was our first journey over the Alle- ghanies by railroad. and also our first through the interior of Ohio. The most remarkable point striking ‘us upon the journey is the so- lidity and perfection with which the Balti- more and Obio railroad isconstructed and far- nished from end toend. To a person who has spent many years in the business of a civil en- gineer, such a trip discloses instantly where the immense amount of money has gone which the road cost. Nowhere else in this country is there arailroad, of considerable length, neces- sarily costing anything like the average sum per mile that this road must have cost; nonia there another considerable railroad in the United States built like this, apparently for alltime. Everything about it is substantial, from the cut stone water-tanks, that look like fortifications along its line, at regular dis- tances, and the stone cut viaducts, some lof them apparently three hundréd feet high from foundation to road surface—to its maby tunnels, three of which are said to bore the mountain over half a mile through—one more than three quarters of a mile. I know not the precise number of tunnels on the line, but three of them are immense works indeed, each having cost millions of dollars. The longest is now being Tined with an arched casement of brick, which is probably neces- sary to the completion and security from dan- gerous slides of all such works of civil engi- neeriog. The highest point on the route is said to be 2,700 fect above tide water. The cousequent great change in the temperature made me quite sensible of the soundness of the scientific axiom with reference to the va- tiations of the thermometer at different alti- tudes. in Washington, on Thuraday last, the light- est summer garb was all sufficient for com- fort At Piedmont, the point at which the im- mediate crossing of the Alleganies commences, we were glad to find the car stove being Day break caught us at Altamont, the highest point on the road, where it was snowing. The difference between the temper- ature at the immediate foot of the mountaigs and their summit, was 12 degrees of Fabren- heit, and perhaps 24 degrees between the temperature of Washington City and the mountain’s top. The ascent from Piedmont ¢> Altamont is fifteen miles. From thence there is a run of twelve or fifteen miles along the top of the mountain with slightly varyidg changes ef level; at the end of which—“ the Summit’’-—the descent commences. The mountain track indeed begins at the Point of Rocks, where the road intersects the Bull Run ridge, or easterninost spur of the Blue Ridge. The work between the Point of Rocks and Harper's Ferry was stupendous in ite dag- ing and cost, being in its day the most expen- sive ever constructed in any country—requit jug rock cutting for miles in some places, one hundred feet deep along the face of the moun- tain that skirts the Potomac between those pints, and through the solid walls of which the river bursts its way just below its junctute with the Shenandoah, making the world re- nowned gorge that has rendered the scenery at Harper's Ferry so famous. The ascent from Harper's Ferry to Cumber- land, though less costly, is through alvery pi¢- turesque country, the road hugging the Ches- apeake and Ohio Canal bank in many places From Cumberland, the great centre of the Maryland coal trade, to Piedmont, the route is along the valley of the Potomac, which grows small by degrees and beautifully less, until one might almost clear it with a hop, skip and jump! The scenery is beautiful be- yond description on that portion of the route, not stunning in its grardeur, as upon the western descent from the mountain tops. Hefe the road winds around the base of mountain spurs, many ofthem apparently isolated, aud though of no great height, exceedingly i teresting on account of the charming variety they give to the scene. Some rise suddenly like cones, others gently, others are faced with a perpendicular wall of rock Iaying in we}l defined strata and having the appearance of human masonic work. The valley through that particular region is very narrow, and being fertile, is capitally cultivated, wearing at this time a carpet of green. W.D. W—u. Cincinnati, May 31, 1856 My last letter brought the reader anid the beautiful little isolated mountain spurs around and among which the Potomac dashes on its course, where it is little more of a river than the Tiber between the railroad depot and Pennsylvania avenue. One can, in no other way than making the trip in person, obtain a correct idea of the charming variety of the details of the scenery along the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad between Cumberland and Piedmont, at the immediate base of the great backbone of the country laying between the Atlantic ocean and the Mississippi river. lt is not grand; but at every turn, as one winds among the hills, new and strikingly ditfering picturesque views burst upon his sight with the rapidity of shifting scenes ina theatre. Gradually, in making that compar- atively gentle ascent, the thermometer falls, until at Piedmont one gets beyond the grain growing range—that is, the range of territory in which corn and wheat ean be profitably grown. From Piedmont to Altamont, fifteen miles, the ascent towards the clouds iz rapid At Altamont the traveler enters upon ‘‘ The Glades,” along Which he journeys for twelve miles, almost on a level upon the mountains’ top. No effort to grow grain is made here, the snow always laying for six months in the year, and in the gorges of the mountains at times nearly ten months. These glades are valuable agriculturally for summer pasturage for the stock of farmers whose main estates are from fifty to a hundred miles below—in the famous ‘South Branch” country. No effort to keep the stock up here in winter is made, as the graziers find it more profitable to drive them to market in the full after being ee Ne a ne THE WEEELY 8TAm.

The popular belief is, that stock attended to, as in Mary- land generally, will not weather the severity of the climate of the Glades through a winter. So, those not sold in the fall are driven below to be wintered in that more genial clime, Oakland is the principal point on the route in the Glades. It ig the resort of health and pleasure seekers in the summer months, when its temperature is that of genial May in Washington Around it are trout streamsand deer in abundance, which form an additipnal inducement for the presence, at certain seasons, of the lowlander. The soil seems to be wet and springy, the railroad drains giving evidence that, to make it advantageously cultivable, requiresa heavy expenditure of labor. From the Summit station, where the road commences to descend from the mountain's immediate top, for about twelve or fifteen miles the scenery is stupendous. Te s low- lander it strikes him dumb with astonishment at the wonders of the results of the struggling of the contending forces of nature, which have been thrown out of the bowels of the earth in their labors against each other. Masses of rock, with, at times, perpendicular faces a thousand feet high, and mountains of earth, each, af thie time, weighing millionsof tons, though perbaps for hundreds of centuries God’s rains have been daily carrying dewn to their bases from their tops portions of their masses. : ‘The resuits of man’s labor as there mani- fested, are hardly lessremarkable. The rail- read courses .s way in, around, through and over the mountains there—now hanging sus- pended in mid air, in a position from which we may easily cast a stone into a mad stream rushing, foaming over the rocks that lay a thousand feet below him, at the next moment diving into the bosom of the mountain by means of a tunnel, and this running for near a mile under the earth, groping in the dark- ness of Erebus itself. Here bounding over a gorge upon a tressle work three hundred feet high, or upon a more substantial arch of atone of equal altitude. All this is in a region with a semi-Siberian climate, and consequent at tributes of natural production of soil, the pic- turesque fir tree, the native of the North, being a conspicuous feature of the scene, turn the eye as one will, The Cheat river, one of the heads of the Monongahela, creates the valley, or rather deep gorge winding among these immense mountains, along which a route has been found for this remarkable work, It leaps from mountain to mountain with a rap- idity which sends upits spray to the railroad hanging hundreds of feet above its bed. In fine, the scenery on this particular portion of the Baltimore and Obio railroad is Alping— equally as grand as that of any scenery of the Alps themselyes. No other work of art in America is more remarkable than this rail- road through it; nor has nature any where in America scattered, as though with a hap- hazard hand, more wonderful specimens of her proverbial vagaries. The day will come when the travelier will feel it as necessary, once at least, to view its wonders, as now to see those of Niagara. WwW. b. W—a. oe Toe Unive States Arwine Exoiann —Iit is a curious fact, that American mechanics excel all others in the manufacture of fire- arms, and are at the present time filling large contracts for parties in England representing the English government. Sharp's arms, par- ticulariy, are in high favor, both the carbine and rifle being in largedemand. They are claimed to combine simplicity of construction, rapidity of firing and extraordinary range, with perfect acouracy and unequalled safety. An order for 25,000 American rifles, with the Minie sight and knob for the ‘: lock bayonet,’’ is in course of execution at the extensive works at Windsor, Vt., aod is now probably half completed. Another order for 10,000 Sharp’s rifle, also om account of parties in England. is in course of fulfilment as Colt’s factory in Hartford. In order to avoid any collusion or mistake as to the construct.ou of the arms, English gunners personally inspect and stamp them as completed. Sharp's arias are peculiarly well adapted for eavalry ser- vice. Tho remaakable success which has been gained in this country in the manufacture of fire-arms is further illustrated by the fact that machinery, to the value of $220 000, such as used in some of the large American ee- tablishments in this department of mechanics, has been made at Windsor, Vt., and sent to England, and is now probably very nearly in readiness for operation. To insure its excel lence, it was particularly directed that it must not only be made by Americans, but must be taken out and set up by Americans, and final- ly, Americans must be employed to control and superintend its operation. Accordingly, some of our most accomplished artisans are now em- ployed in the English workshops. This ar- rangement is in part the result of an investi- gation made in the United States, by direction of the English Government, with reference to the manner and cost of making fire-arms. . It was proved that the same arm made in Bpg- land, at a cost of about $9, was made at the Springfield armory for only a trifle over $3. The success of American mechanics here no- ticed is matter for congratulation. The Eng- lish Government have given the American rifle a very thorough test, and always withthe most favorable results —— Raxporen’s Sarcasw.—A young man at- tempted to make his acquaintance.
