Some years since, an * jp: eden preci lve into it revealed a tomb constructed of the rough, flat, loose stone of the creek’s bottom, containing a huge human skeleton, the tomb itself being surrounded by a great quantity of human bones. The presence of copper ornaments interred with the skeleton in the tomb indicates that its origin was before the supremacy of the present race of American Indians in the valley of the Ohio, for on the discovery of the continent they were unacquainted with the use of that metal. Soon we are at Benwood, having coursed along tue Obio’s east bank from Moundsville. Then I saw the first sign of Virginia’s valuable northwes‘- ern manufactaring, in the smoking and glowing tall chimney stacks stretching thence up the river four miles, to Wheeling. Everything about Ben- wood indicates to the uninitiated that {t isan old village; which is not so, its oldest house having been built within the last eight years. The ashes of the bituminous coal, used here for every con- ceivable burning purpose, in some form or other, imparts this superannuated, or rather dingy ap- pearance, to all on which it falls, even to the persons of the denizens of the towns and villages where it is thus used. At Benwood we parted from those of our traveling companions destined for Columbus and Cincinnati, who crossed the tiver on a ferry boat, to Belle Air; while I wended my way up to Wheeling, to remain over until this (Tuesday) morning. I cannot part with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad without expressing my admiration of the completeness of all the company’s arrange- ments for the comfort and safety of the hundreds of thousands of passengers it transports annually over the long line of its work. My trip from Baltimore to Wheeling was made up to the very minute of the time table at each succeeding tation Though fifty trains apparently were met passed, there was no confusion anywhere; and the conductors down to the brakemen, all employed about the trains seemed to vie with each other in civility and obliging courtesy to all the passengers—points of more importance to the comfort of the traveler than one can imagine who does not travel much, and at times on routes where the discipline fs not such as to insure patience and civility upon all connected with the service. At Benwood, where we struck the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad’s connections with the western roads, we first see, as remarked above, the great manufacturing establishments of western Vir- ginia; commencing at that point and extending up the river some six miles, to the northern boundary of the corporation of Wheeling, so famous of late years for its production of natls and a hundred other articles of cast and malleable About 400 beef cattle were offered at Drovers?
