On the Route from Montrea! to Portland—Island | S*POWNN tioned as being one of the fi ; Pond— Gorham— Berlin Falis— The White Moun- tains— The Glen— Mount Washington, &e, A most delightful ride is that from Montreal to this place by the Grand Trank Railroad, From the time that the traveller reaches Island Pond, on the frontier line between Canada and Vermont, until he | reaches the giant mountain groups of New Hemp- shire, the route lies through a hilly and richly wood- ed country, presenting a succession of charming views. Island Pond is itself one of the most pic- turesque spots that can be imagined. Although only a sort of half way resting place, its natura) beauties entitle it to a place amongst the summer resorts. Those who love retirement, coupled with the enjoyment of fine scenery and an atmosphere that fills one’s lungs with bracing, healthful ele- ments, will find it there. A series of small lakes and woods, swarming with game, will provide them with plenty of amusement. In other respects the place offers the visiter all his usual comforts. There area couple of good hotels close to the railroad station, and the facilities afforded by the latter keep their tables wholesomely and abundantly supplied. I reached the Gorbam station at three in the afternoon, and was pleased to find tbat the Al- pine House, my place of destiaution, was at the Opposite side of the road. FOnere aad tired as I was, I felt no inclination to toil through the deep mansions in the place. Amongst the pais buildings in the neighborhood, the United 8 Marine Hospital and the State Reform School, both situated about three miles from Portland, will well Le = A visit. The chief object of interest, however, stranger is its noble bor, than which there is not a finer or more capacious one on our coast. SARATOGA. BaRat0cA, August 17, 1858.

It isthe wonder of women and of men that Saratoga is so full. Each train comes loaded dowa with additions. Hundreds goeach day,and yet the place is full. All the hotels are crowded, and the momontthe twains arrive the lucky bachelors,‘who have their all tied up i a small carpet bag, seize their treasure and run for the hotel at which they tnterd to stop. Itis now the height of the season. But few distinguished mea are here, and the fashionable world bas few representatives. Beston has never seut so few people to this place as this yeer; and one looks in vain for the leaders of ton from our city, who, in the olden time, made Saratoza so ‘armeus.

The view ‘rom ita windows is feipring fine, Carter Mountain, Mount Moriah and the Imp, being all within ciear range of the eve. Attherear winds picturesquely | through the valley the Androscoggia river, its | waters here again subsiding into a silent but rapid current, after their turoulent descent down the Berlin Fails, six miles above. After resting a short while, I took one of M Hitchcock's wagons and drove to the Falls, over a tolerably good road , running parallel to the river the whole way. The evening was rather threatening, | but its unsettled character imparted to the moun- tainous features of the landscape additional points of interest. Scenery of this character must be viewed in a variety of aspects to be thoroughly enjoyed, andI can truly say that in the course of this six miles ride I saw more striking subjects for the pencil of an artist than could have been picked out in the most cloudless summer day. The Bertin Falls, from the point at the bridge | where the visiter is usyully taken to view them, have very much the character and proportions of those of ‘Trenton, but are wanting in some of the grand and awe inspiring features which distiaguish the latter. The descent is as great, if not greater, being little short of two hundred feet, but this is spread over a distance of nearly two miles. Still, at the bridge, their narrowest point of continemeat, the waters of the Androscoggin thunder through the rocks with a velocity avd force which stun the spec- tator by the loudness of their reverberation, and render the scene highly picturesque and exciting. On the following morning I jomed a party setting out toexplore the glen and visit Mount Washington. They were principally Boston people, aud, being persons of high cultivation and intelligence, the trip Wasa mo-t agreeable one. Some of the ladies of the party, who bad a a a taste for botanical pursuits, amused me by the exclamations of almost | cbildish delight with which each wild flower or ras set leaf was hailed. And truly that beautifal mountain road, winding at times through the forest glade, or along the banks of a beau- tifa stream, with the hills rising on_ each side thousands of feet above us, was sufficient to fill all hearts with sensations of enjoymeat and happiness. The Glen House, which formed oar powt of destination, is situated in a small valley, completely hemmed in by hills, and stands directly at the base of Mount Washington. The bridle road by which the mountain is asceoded can be traced by the naked eye from its windows almost to the summit. The ascent is now so easily made, owing to the improvemerts effected in the path, that it has become quite a tame and prosaic aflair. From fifty toa hundred ladies ride up there daily, without any t trial of their powers of endurance. An accl- jet rarely or ever occurs, and beyond the usual in- cidents of a rough mountain the tourist has nothing now to boast of in the way of adventure. It is quite a common thing for who make the ascent tostop over night en the summit to watch the effects of sunrise on the following morning There are a couple of roughly constructed habita- tions on the hig! ak,in which a good dinner apd « comfortable can be procuerd—that is, previded the demand be not greater than the means of accommodation, a circumstance of not unfre- Nos of “party fecting disposed d None of eur feeling to undergo the fatigue of The ascent under the glare of a scorching sum, we contented ourselves Sanatoca, August 16, 1868, ‘The Hotels Pull—Chevalier Webb and Commodore Vander- bilt on the Ground, dec , de ‘The hotel searon ts at th’s time perhaps fuller than it hes been for years; and [ am wformed by the chief proprietors such i# the fact.

Your wise and well-timed reflevtioas have bevn well received by the consorvative cit'zons of this State of all political complexions, It would scom useless toadd anything more to them, but it may be there are certain facts connected with that straggle, and with the g neral condition of the contest between conservatiam and nigger-worsbip in this State, which aro concealed from all but those who have been aciora behind the curtain. : ‘The gereral roault of the late election may be summed up as follows :—The democrats have swept the whole State, electing all their candidates for Uongress by im- mense majorities, and at least three fourths of the Leg's- lature, if | may ju¢ge from the returns now in, incom- plete though they are. In the First disirict, J. R. Barret bests the notorious Blair, emancipatiouist ; in the Second, Toomes L. Anderson, Sbuth American and Lecomptuniie, Toomas L. Anderson, South american and Lecomptonite, run by the demooracy, is re-ciected by an enormous ma- jority; in the Third, Joun B. Clerk in re clected without opposition; in the Fourth, James Craig, with only nominal opposition; in the Fifth, Samuel H Woodson, who occa- pres the eawe position with Mr Audoraon, beats su inde pendent candidate; in the Sixth, Joho 3, Phelps is elect- ed for the eighth time; and in the Seventh, Jobn W. Noell is elected in place of Mr. Caruthers, who declined a reeleétion. As the nigger worshippers of the North last year, catching their cue from the free nigger purty of Miseowi, very complacently appropriated the vote of Rollins, and set it down to the credit of abolitionism, Ceducing from these premises some very queer and abrurd conclusions in reference to the eradication of slavery from this State, { may as woll now, t prevent any further similar procerdiogs, deflve the nature of the opposition the democrasy encountered in the recent Congresstora! election. In the Firat district there was an emancipation candidate, but in no other, Mr. Auderson was opposed by a democrat who is perfectly sound, and who would bave received the democratic nomination but for the fact that the democrats wero satisiled with Mr. Anderson, and wisbed to testify their approbation of his course General Clark bad no opposition, Mr. Cralg’s opponent was a South Amer!can regrotrader. Col. Wood- sou was opposed by Gen. John W Reid, a national demo orst, who led the pro-slavery forces at the famous baitic of Ossowatiamie. Mr. Paoclpe beat a Beaton domo- erat, who denies that he is @ freesolior; and Coil. Zeigler, who ran against Gen. Noeil, is an old lino whig who boasts that he would leave the State if slavery were abolished. And let no ope imagine tbat these gentlemen were run by the emencipationisis merely as entering wedges, and that they are preparing to run their own candioates next time. If thoy bad had apy strength im the severa\ districta they might surely bave been able to elect a few meinders to we Legigiatare. Bot so far from this being true, they did not even run legis ‘stive candidates in @ balf dozan counties in the Stato, avd all those who did run were hifredbe nme J defeated, free soil votes were po'led, out of one hundred aud twenty - five thousand.
