Eben + LETTER FROM A WASHINGTONIAN. (Correspondence of the Star } Rocneport, Mo., March 24, 1858. Where is the use of traveling if the world floes not know it? And how shall the world now it unless through the columns of your #0 valuable. interesting, and reliable paper? Don’t blush at this praise, for that you deserve ‘tI can prove by yourself and the whole al- phabet pi lee correspondents. be roets and Bowery b’hoys may rush in nadt*s res, bat voyageurs must proceed more Jrethodically. [ left, then, Washington on Thursday in the morning train for a village some forty miles distant called Baltimore, known to the traveling public as connected by railroads with Bladensburg, Ellicott’s Mills, Havre de Grace, &c., where I started in the atternoon train for that “undiscovered bourne,”’ the Far West. It is useless to repeat the well known fact that from Baltimore to the Ohio you find cars as comfortable and conductors as accommodating as one could wish, and that thence to Cincinnati these matters are “on the contrary quite the reverse.’’ The cars, in- deed, are got up “ regardless of expense’ to such a degree that you would sappose none had been incurred in their construction, but were Presented to the company by some enemy of uman repose. To make amends, however, they generally contrive to miss the connexion with the St. Louis train and foree upon you the (paid for) hospitality of Porkopolis, as they did with us. ‘* Ourarmy in Flanders’ swore some, but our company in the omnibus—and they had reason, and © On reason betwixt resolve That column of tree majesty in man” — could have shamed them all from Marlborough to Corporal Trim. After we reached Xenia it was too dark to seo anything; before we reached it I saw only a a of black eyes—were they black or hazle or blue, or did they assume each hue as the pass- ing mind suggested ?—lovely cheeks and ripest lips, with the usual surroundings of bonnet, curls and crinoline. But Time, especially on railroads, is remorseless; the hour of parting too quickly arrived; she passed, like somo glorious vision, from my sight forever, and left me to dream—of the dear ones at home, for, you know, ““Dve got a wife and little family.” At Cincinnati I saw, with that mixed respect and awe with which we witness remarkable men and places for the first time, a victim of that social experiment, the confidence plan. in the pesson of an old farmer from western Vir- ginia. Confidence man had made his ac- quaintance on the cars: taken a deep interest in his successful trip to St. Joseph, Mo., whither himself happened to be going; met Mr. Smith at the depot, who owed hima debt, with only a 3100 note, which neithor he nor the farmer could change, though the latter could fortu- nately spare his friend $37 to be repail at the hotel, and while he was considering if it was a sefo investment, Smith and creditor disap- peared round a corner, and * Like the baseless fabric of a vision Left not ar behind.” A a Texan found him in this plight, paid his bill, | esse him a return ticket, and returned him home with the information that perils surround other travelers besides those who go dows to the sea in great ships By the way. this Texan was a Lecompton man. Atleast he appearedso tome. Ateach station in Indiana and [linois he made a short speech to the crowd with the benevolent design of uading them that it was more respectable to be « useful darkey inthe South than a mean Abolitionist in the North, and that a safe maxim in life was, that whata Black Republi- can wouldn't steal wasn’t worth carrying away. In the cars he distributed his whisky (from one of Wyman’s bottles apparently) and his opin- ions with equal prodigality, having a drink round every five minutes, and testing each man passenger with a toast to the success of Le- compton and the confusion of nigger stealers Toa starchy gemman of color he volunteered the opinion that the climate was too cold for his constitution, and he would live longer on some gentleman's plantation iu the “Sunny South,” though, as ‘* Good seldom comes from good advice,”? I foar it was not duly appreciated in this in- stance, yet there was such genuine good fellow- ship and liberality about him that he was the ™most popular man in the cars, and when he proiised at a leisure time next summer, to re- turn with a fowling piece, in order to bag a few Topekaites, there were many of them ready to say— “« When next he rides that race, May [ be there to see.” With the aid of a guide book I could give you graphic account of the villages and towns I passed through, rivaling in precision at least, the immortal Tbackeray, who places Mount Vernon, Pope’s Creek and Williamsburg in a cozy neighborhood for the interchange of din- ner parties, some hundred years ago. Perhaps the travel since then has flattened out the country and separated these parts, as 1 have seen a ball of dough, under the kneading fin- gora of the housewite. spread into a formidable waste of cake. But there is nothing to be seen on the route worthy a description, unless, in- deed, it be the buge prairies of Illinvis, through which we passed in the night. Just fancy an interminable level of waving grass and thou- sand tinted flowers, broken only by an occa- sional farm-house, whose white walls rise up in the dead of night like the huge tombs of some giant race, the whole mellowed by the sad rays of night's silver queen! You may talk of moonlight at sea, but give me moonlight on the Prairies; at least in preference to the murky rain which poured upon us all the night we were pass £, through them, and until we reached St. Louis at four o'clock on Sunday morning T intended to continue my narration to this point, and if you print and praise this duly I may do so bereafter, and farther, if farther I go. Truly yours, Viator. ee Poor So1c.—An inquisitive Yankee was standing at a tavern door, in the lower part of Jersey, watching a funeral pass by. At the head of it was a large manure cart, moving along very slowly, and making no offer to turn out for the procession. The Yankee was astonished at this want of attention on the part of the driver of said cart, and turning toa Philadelphian, who was standing by, he remarked : *T guess the folks aint very perlite abeout here; tu hum, where I live, they always turn out for a funeral.”’ “Oh, that’s part of the procession,”’ remarked the Philadel!phian, gravely. “Du tell? Yeou don’t eayso' Heow?” ex- claimed the astonished Yankee “Why, you see, itis a very poor sandy soil about here. and nothing comes up they plant, unless they manure it well, so when they bury a fellow, they throw a whole cart-load in the grave, ty make him rise at judgment day!” The Yankee mizzled.

Orville, better known as “ Awful’ Gardner, gave an account of his conversion at the Green- street Methodist church, New York, last Sun- day evening, as follows : I feel it my duty to tell you what God has done for me. “I hope you will hear all I have tosay. There are many here who have known me for ten years—have known me when I was fearfully wicked. Now I am on the Lord’s side. 1 want it thoroughly understood that now I am on the Lord’s side, I was on a visit to my brother in the country about twenty-eight miles away, st a towncalled Portchester; when I went there I had as much idea of getting religion as many of you have now—that is none atall. But I hope when you go home you cannot rest nor sleep till you get religion. I went tochurch in that town for ac- commodation—that’s all--to the folks. The Saviour was there. The Lord’s spirit was pow- erfully displayed, and went from heart to heart all through the church. It worked upon mo three or four nights. ‘Tho pastor of the church came to me and asked me if I would not like to get religion and serve God. I answered, ‘No, { didn’t care about it just then,”’ and I told him a lie; for I did; I felt as though I wanted religion. ily dreadfully uneasy, and made up my mind I had better leave that part of the coun- try; it was getting too warm fur me. I told my brother I was going to New York in the morn- ing. He suid, “ Wait another day;”? and [ made up my mind I would stay and attend an- other night. Some remarks were made to back sliders the next night, many of whom I know; they sat unmoved. The minister and my friends had been trying to get me to bo a Chris- tian, but the devil said, ‘ Don't be taken in by those fellows.” After church that night, as wo were going home—the minister lived up our way—I made some remark about those back- sliders, saying to him that if I were mm their place L would come out like a man and seek re ligion over again. tho minister told me that he thought I was & very great sinner; that I stood in a critieal condition, and was more likely to be lost than any of them. I said to my brother, if that was the way the minister was going to talk | would ge. I got my carpet bag ready next day and started; I opened the door; t wanted to go, and I didn’t want to go; and I hoped my brother would again urge me to stay. He did so, and I stayed. That was Saturday. After i had my dinner I resolved that 1 would seek the Lord that night. 1 made a strong resolu- tion; L felt where I stood that perhaps it was perhaps the last time the Lord would strive with me Saturday night the invitation was given to come forward to the altar, and I started—on my shoulders my load of eins—up 1 went with them—the cross of Christ upon my back. I got up and threw my sins down b the altar. I tried as hard as a man ever di 5 and I got no religion. Sunday night I attended with a like result. That night [ could not sleep, my sins looked so bad ; they came up on every hand and looked at me; ail the sins of my life crowded upon me, many I should never have thought of fad not the Devil brought them before me. Icould could nut sleep; I wiggled and waggled around the bed all night; the Lord was striving with me aoe morning { got up and prayed ; I did the best I could; [ asked the Lord to take away the weight that bore me downso. There was a friend came to me that day and said ho was going over to White Plains, and I could go with him. Knowing I would n good compapy I concluded to go, thinking he might do me sume good. There was little said on the way, but he told me to keep looking for the Saviour; that I was trying to get religion, and had let every body know it; the Lord was willing to bless me at any time, or anywhere. I was riding along, singing a hymn, and in an instant I felt as though [ was blessed. [ am sure L ed up my soul and body. The first thing I knew, God spoke peace to mysoul. It came like a shot—it came like lightning, when I was not anticipating it, and the first thing I said: “Glory! God blessed me.” My friend said be knew it; he felt the shock too. We rode against a stone fence two or three times, and came near tumbling on the ground. The change waa surprising ; the trees looked as if they had been blessed ; every thing appeared to have been blessed, even the horse and wagon. I felt strong. I could almost fly. Glory to God, this religion is good! The Lord has blessed me ever since. My faith in him grows stronger every day. I would face all tue people that God ever put on the earth and tell them all I am bound for Heaven. My heart says, see the scorner: [ say I will go pray for him. Every thing is pleasing. I love those I used to hate. Now, that shows pretty gcei for religion—don't it brothers? [Yes, yes.) Men that I used to seek to injure I love now; [ pray for them. I don’t hate a soul that God ever put breath in. As I look round, you all look good to me; I love the Christian a little better than the sinner, but I love you too. I would not swap this religion for all New York city. I would rather have religion and live on bréad and water till God calls me. They talk about noise here—what will it be when we get to Heaven! I have tested the world’s pleasures, but religion is the only thing that will m: here, and the only thing that will make him happy hereafter. There are a great many bere that know me, and itis, no doubt, a mystery to them that God should accept such a creature. Now is the time to step to the altar. Don’t say to God, let me accomplish this or that, and then I will seek you. When you receive the religion of Jesus Christ you are the richest person on earth. Come at once. Clear the way, here! Seats all around ; allow yourselves to be led to Christ. A Matnopist Minister SwInpLep By THE Bavu Uaxe.—The party of swindlers who were in town during the first part of the week, a part of whom left fur St. Louis on Wednesday, sue- ceeded in playing the ‘patent safe game” upon a Method st Minister from Virginia, who was on his way to Council Bluffs. ‘the modus operandi was as tollows: One of the party in- troduced himself tu the minister on board a steamer at the levee, and represented himself as a fellow-passengor to St. Louis. The gen- tleman was exceedingly polite and affable, and after discussing various subjects, proposed a walk before the boat started. The minister, who is quite an elderly man, accepted the arm of his companion, and the two strolled toward the Ohio and Mississippi railroad dopot. On their way they fellin with another man who exhibited a patent safe, and after going through with the usual ceremony of opening it, and ex- hibiting a paper inside, which was removed by the confederate of the safe man, the latter pro- posed to bet that there was a slip of paper in- side. which they could not get. The minister refused to wager anything, declaring it was aguinst his principles, but assured tho man with the safe that there was no paper in it. | The stranger still insisted on backing his as- | sertion, when the confederate, who was in com- pany with the old man. handed the latter a | check for $775, on a New York bank, and pro- posed that he should lend him what money he had, and take that as security, and Ae would | make the bet. The minister complied, and counted out $383 in gold and Virginia notes, which were no sooner handed ever, than the rascal with the safe seized the money, and started on the run down the street. The old man began to cry out, but the other fellow told him to keep quiet; and pulling out a pistol, started after , the chap with the cash, saying, “[’ll make ; him give back that money, or killhim!”? The { { two turned the next corner, and were soon out of sight. The minister made his loss known to a policeman, but two late to recover the mone: | or cateh the swinalers. After he got on Seard | the boat, he expressed less rogret at the loss of | | the money, than fears that his name would get | into the papers, and bis friends in Virginia thereby Posome a rized of the fact that he had made a fvol himeelf.—Cin.
