Dravel tothe Falls— Annihilation of Space—Scenery sen Route—Albany and Bufft'o Reilroad—The Philosophy of Hotel-keerrag—Tie Thunders of the Falls—Appearance of the Canadian and «American Sis. “Yarrived here thismorning, inabont sixteen hours anda balf, having left Albany at six o’clock on Thursday moruing. I resched Buffilo at nine o'clock in the evening, making a yun of 323 miles in fifteen hours. The country between Albany and Little Falls seems to be stel in its primeval state, except here and there you see « farm house with a patch of cultivated land surrounding it; but at this point the scene changes. Litile Falls is an exceedingly psticeste and pretty village, situated in a deep glen, surrounded a high hills, finel e tops; the Mohawk river ruas throu; Raeeeiot it, forces tor itself a passage through a gorge on the eastern pity continues. to lows on anti at strikes the Hudson, near Albany. After passing Little Falls, the appearance of the Squntry, is altegether changed. ‘The valley of the ‘ohawk opens upon you in all its splendor; the country on the other side is boausfatie timbered, and charmingly diversified by hill and dale ; corn- fields with their golden hues, pasture and meadow Jands with their necessary adjuncts, flocks and herds, present themeelves every where to the view ‘of the traveller, while the ecene is enriched by the sight of the numberlees elegant homesteads that dot the country in every direction as far as the eye can reach. It is hardly necessary to add, how much the Mohawk river adds to the beauty ot the land- spe The above description catng apply to the wi oho west of Little Falls, to Buffalo. I may here add, that several gentlemen of wealth jafincges,, im this section of the tates have en engaged for years past in agricultural pursuits, who have, by their enterprise and the ceanle they set their poorer neighbora, contributed very mu to the clearing of land and bringing it into cultiva- tion, and also to the rearing and improvement of the breed of cattle. In short, I have been credibly informed, and I have good reason to believe my in- formation to be correct, that it is to their exertions the public are indebted for the improvements in this section of the country, and for the ce, comfort and order, that reign among its inhabitants. The Albany ‘and Buflulo Railroad also presents @ pleasing contrast (with yome slight exception) to these of other places, Not # solitary accident hasoc- curred on this road eince it has been opened, owing to the care and caution of the directors and super- antendents. Mr. Buker has the superintendence of the road from Albany to Schenectady; and Mr. William C. Young, superintendent, from the latter place to Utica; and a better managed line there is not; perhaps, in the Union. . No trouble or expense is spared by these gentlemen, on their respective routes, to guard against accidents. A certain num- ber of persons are employed day and night, on these two routes, to see that the tracks are kept clear; and it is, of course, owing to this precau- sight that this road has been exempted ful futalities that have occurre other places. ‘That portion of the road, however, between Utica and Buffalo, but more especially between the furmer place and Syracuse, is mot altegether so well managed. The track between the two latter places seems to he aewly laid down; aad, from the jarring and latterul motioa of the cars, the jouraey between ese two points is ex- tremely nksome ‘and fatiguing ; but when the rails are properly bedded, there is no doubt the cars will ron a emooth on this part of the road ag on any other. There should also be more ‘perSons employed between these places, to keep the tracks clear gpd 50 guard against casualties. m At I stopped at Hufl’s Hotel, in Main street, kept by Mr. Peter Young ; and an excellent house it is. Both Mr. Young, his barkeeper, an waiters are exceedingly obliging and civil to all persons who resort to this house. His larder is well stocked, and his beds are of the very best description; and whet is more, he keeps carriages to convey his customers free of expense, to and rom the railroad. stutions.

Sr. Lovrs, August 5, 1819. Homicide — Jealousy — The Rioters — Califorma Emigrants, §c. By mears of the telegraph, I informed you yesterday, briefly, of the death of T. B. Hart, who fell at Palmyra, in this State, on the morning of the 3d, by the hand of John Wise. The particulars are as follows: Both Wise and Hert were residents of this city. Wise has been for some months past a clerk in the distributing department of the Post Office. Hart was a student of medicine, and what is usually called “a nice young man.” LHe was fermerly a journeyman sadler; volunteered in the Mexican war, won some laurels, and before the close of hostilities, held a subordinate office in one of the “Ten Regiments.” On returning to St. Louis, he abandoned his mechanical profession and be- came something of a fop, and an especial favorite among the ladies of the lower grade of the upper ter. A fine personal appearance, however, was marred by ridiculeus pretension ; and, though he was regarded as a “Jove of a man” among a par- ticular clase, he was generally looked upon as a senseless fop by the milion, His influence with the ladies was ever a favorite theme with him, and one, to believe his own stories, would necessaril believe that he had broken more ladies’ he: thanhe had killed Mexicans. a Onthe first appearance of the cholera in this city, Mr. Wise sent his wile, to whem been married but a short time, to Palmyra, while he re- mained here, in the discharge of his duties in the Pest Office. Some ten days since, in glancing over the letters from Hannibal, he was struck by the sumilar ity between the peatmunship of a superserip- tion, and that of his lady. The letter was address- ed to Mr. T. B. Hart, and curiosity or jealousy in- duced him to: violate the seal. Judge of his astonishment when he found that the letter was from his wite, and disclosed an intunacy of the most heart-sickening nature. The letter was re- sealed and placed in the private box of Mr. Hart, who soon alter called for, and obtained it. Ou the next day, a letter deposited in the office, and di- rected to the wife Mr. Wise, was intercepted and opened by the oatraged husband. 1t was trom Hart, und disel the mtennon of the writer to leave St. Louis for Palmyra, and the arms of his | inamorata,on a particular day. Wise immediately | of Hart, and followed fim to Palmyra, at which | lace he arrived a few hours after the arrival ot his fntended vietim. Proceeding to the National Ho- tel, he ascertained that Hart was there, and been inquiring for the residence ot Mrs. Wise-— Hart, in a few minutes later, was observed sitting at the street door of the hotel, aad Wise, without | disclosing his ioteution, damedintalp acemned on him from behind, firing a pistol, the ball from which struck the left collar bone, and glanced downward into the chest. Finding humself wounded, Hart arose and attempted to escape by fight. Wise fol- lowed with a drawn bowie kuife, overtook him, and literally cut him into pieces. The right arm was almost severed at the shoulder, the left cut to the boxe above the wrist, and three or four thrusts about the chests perforated his heart and lungs — Hart fell and expired instantly. ‘After the commission of the horrid butchery, | ‘Wise requested to be conducted to the sheritf, into | whose custody he surrendered hunself. When my informant left Palmyra, much excitement existed, and an examination of the prisoner was intende tobe had yesterday. Hart was buried last evening. Wise is much esteemed in this city as an upright, | honorable man, and this 1s the first act of violence he as known to have committed. Much sympathy ig entertained for him here, and should there be a change of venue in his case, to this county, he will | probably be acquitted on some piea or other—pos- sibly insanity. - : rs. Wise, before her marriage, was a Miss | Piggott, and was respectably connected. She wag one of several sisters, who were rather of the dash- ing order of young ladies.

Nothing of interest oceurred yesterduy in our borough, in consequence of General Taylor being confined to his room all day, with a slight attack of diarrheea, arising from over exertion and change of water, very probably. Jt was generally understood. the. President had intended to attend Divine service at the Episcopal church, which drew together a very large audience, who were compensated tor thier disappointment by a very fine sermon from the Rev. Mr. Coit. This morning the General, in an open barouche, with Governor Johnston, was seen wending his way to the depot, a little before seven o'clock, in a very quiet oud tnostentatious manner, the citi- zens paying their respects by lifling tveir hats, to which the General bowed in the most affable man- ner. it would certainly show more-respect, and be better for his health, if public processions would be avoided in his present tour.

Attempted Revolution in Californra—Authority of | General Riley to Organize a State Government, e., &e. ‘The eteamer of to-day will take to the States the Alta Calrformia’s criticisms on Governor Riley’s proclamations of the 3d and 4th iust., and an in- flammatory article endeavoring to stir up a ‘‘ revyo- lution.” Be assured it is all a tempest ia the tea- | pot. Not twenty men in Califorma will back them: All the other districts heartily approve the procla™ | mations of Governor Riley, and have already sig- nified their intention to follow out his reeommen- dations. So well convinced are the leaders of this | independent district legislati voneern that they are to be lett alone in their glory, they have already backed out trom their positions, and advised the people of San Fraacisco to full into the current of | popular opmion, and act with the Governor in his efiurts to get a State constitution, which shall be | approved by Congress. ‘The editor of the Alta California, in bis paper of to-day, has backed out of his principal charge against Gen. luley ; but as some of his other assertions remain uncorrected, Twill call attention to them, in order that you may understand the true state of the question. Un- fortunately, that paper controls the only. printing | presses in California, and the friends of law and | order have no means of publicly contradicting the } erroneous assertions of these disorganize: Aj remedy will be found for this defyct to the o of a few weeks. Z The editor’s assertion that neither Gen. Kear- ny nor Col.
