It is & good natured essay, in Mr. Winthrop's bloodless vein, and it is a protest against waking up, and not any effort at resurrection. The Hon. Robt. 8. Hale has declined the appoint- ment as delegate to the Philadelphia Convention, forced upon him by the owners of the Saratoga party. He does not believe in ** Radical " measures; but there is more room, he thinks, for his kind of con- servatism in the Union party than in the Arab ranks at Philadelphia. The meeting called for this evening at Cooper Insti- tute by the loyalists of New-Orleans to call public attention to the horrors to which they have been sub- jected and still are exposed ought to be overwhelm- ingly attended. Men will be there to speak who were witnesses, and barely escaped being vietims, of the wanton, wholesale butchery of the 30th ult. Let all who desire a reconstruction which will not give Rebels everythivg, steadfast Unionists nothing, be early at Cooper Institute this evening. Gen. Butler has been telegraphed for and is expected. —_— Fifty-two out of #2 counties in North Carolina have been heard from, with a record of 1,600 majority sgainst the new Constitution. We are not sanguine that the vote of the remaining 30 counties will overcome this great odds; and we look upon the result, now prefigured, as one unfortunate for Mr. Johnson's extra-pacific plan of enforced reconstruc- tion, and in apt accordance with Justice Ruffin’s view of the President’s ** despotism” in dictating constitu- tions. 'We do not think that Mr. Johnson had any intention of wronging the most sensitive Rebel in North Carolina; but see how they estimate his in- dulgence! The President himself reconstracted the vote by which his agents and their measures are de- feated. Mr. Vallandigham has sorrowfully withdrawn from the Convention, following the now repressible Mr. Wood with great docility and charming behavior. ‘We have no objection to the political immolation of these gentlemen on any altar, but it is not intended to carve out Mr. Vallandigham for any feast fit for loyalty. The same dictation which prescribed meas- ures of reconstruction for every Rebel State, preparato- ry to giving those presidential provinces over toRebel rule, demanded the absence of the Peace men from | the Conveation at Philadelobia. The forced conces- . ‘sale of THE TRIBUNE | — ; : | sions of Messrs. Vallandigham and Wood can be | Tooked upon only a programme of transpa- | rent hypoerisy, T tion will be crammed with Copperheads and Rebels, nevertheless, and there will be a clear majority on the side of *constitutional” disloyalty. The absence of many distinguished makeweights has proved but a temporary embarrassment to the President’s intimate servants. But Gen. Dix, who ordered any man to be shot who “‘hauled down the speech of great enthusiasm over the so- cial and political character of the baulers down, and Massachusetts and South Carolira walked into the Convention arm-in-arm, Who says that there is no peace? Mr. Alexander H. Stephens has arrived in Phila- | delphia, and will shortly make his presence gonerally known. If the Confention will accommodate him with a plank in its platform preservative of the re- stored right to secede under the Constitution, Mr. Stephens will be ready to accept any situation that may be offered. Senator Doolittle is the choice of the South for the Presdency of the Philadelphia Conven- tion. He has earned the choice. MR, JOHNSON'S FRIENDS, When Andrew Johnson was elected to the post whence the dagger of Wilkes Boot translated him to the White House, nearly half of those now assem- bled in Philadelphia to commend and support him, wore fighting desperately to divide the Union, while another third were doing their very best in the Union to defeat him and elect an ultra * Peace™ Copperhead in his place. Mr. Pendleton had consis- tently voted in Congress precisely as the Rebels would have had him: we can recall no single in- stance in which his vote would have been disapproved by Jefferson Davis. Gov. Orr was a fighting Rebel. Mr. Robert C. Winthrop was a talking Copperhead. It is now pretended that Mr. Johnson is walking care- fully in the path that would have been trodden by Abrakam Lincoln, If this were true, would he have gathered around him the speckled crowd now congre- gated in Philadelphia 7 Can you believe that follow- ing in the footsteps of Abraham Lincoln would have won for Mr. Johnson such an extraordinary conglom- eration of support ? Again : Every negro in the land regarded Abraham Lincoln with affection and hoped everything from his continuance in oftice, while every Rebel-sympa- thizer detested and execrated him. New, no negro hopes for any good from Andrew Johuson, while every Copperhead is vociferous in bis praise. Can you suppose both classes utterly deceived? Mr. John A. Dix said, in taking the chair at the Randall gathering yesterday, that “When the President of the United States had declared that the war had ceased, all the States had the right to representation. The exacting of new conditivns is subversive to our national liberty, aud dangerous to public peace, (Loud applause.]” —1If this be so, then what an atrocious usurper must Andrew Johnson be, in piling exaction on exaction on the States lately in revolt, as prerequisites to their restoration! Do but consider this: WAsHINGTON, Oct. 2%, 1855, His Ercellency JAMES JOUNS0N, Provisional Governor of Geor: in {uur several telegrams have boen received, The President of the United States cannot recognize any State as baving re- sumed the relations of loyalty to the Union that admits as Tegal obligations contracted debis or creatad in their vame to promote the war of the Rebeilio: Witiias H, SEWAKD. — How would Gen. Dix s bread and butter were secure—déal with the exacter of these *‘new conditions 1" — Mr. Robert C. Winthrop attempts to misstate the action and position of Congress with regard to recon- struction, He says: + Most happily, Congress did not adjourn witbout adwitting 10 their seats the Senators and Representatives of Tennesse but that very act has readered it all the wore didicult to wibing of constitutional principle, or anythiog of trus tent denial of all representation 1o The delegation from Tennessee was admitted to seats in either House of Congress on terms openly presented to every State lately in revolt, as Mr, Win- throp well knows. South Carolina could have come in at the same time, and may come in at any time, on the terms accepted by Tennessee. Why, then, assert that there is o ** persisient denial of all ropre sentation to the other Southern States 1" T this age of general intelligence, what it to be gained by such frauds’ —Gov. Orr of South Carolina says: “ Fellow-citizens, we have been knockine at the door for cight loag montbs, oal g < to admit us. 1 we are not 1o be trosted now, wh 0 be trusted ! In it just privileges? No! For or or generons loa while tazes are imposed upon us without our consent * Gov. Orr is one of the late Rebel minority of the peaple of South Carolina. That minority denies %o the large majority any voice whatever in making the taws by which they are ggverned or in levying the taxes which they must pay. *“Is it just, or fair, or generons,” that the 400,000 loyal Blacks of South Carolina should be excluded not only from all repre- sentation in Congress, but from all voice in the lation of their own State, **while taxes are imposed on them withont their consent I We measure Gov. Orr in his own bushel. Whenever he will bring his 300,000 confederates inthe late Rebellion to accord to their loyal Black fellow Carolinians the rights already enjoyed by themselves. we will do our utmost to bave him and his colleagues admitted to seats in Con- gress. Is not this faic? Nay, are we not in honor bound tostand by our fellow Unionists of South Carolina, who, though a majority of the whole people, are de- nied by Orr & Co. all voice in making the laws by which they are governed ! 'When he and his set are ready to do justice to their Unionist fellow-citizens, weo will entreat Congress to deal generously by them. But then no entreaties will be needed. FRANCE AND PRUSSIA. In our article on the ** Frontier of France” in Tug Tripung of yesterday, we assumed that, by demand- ing the ** frontier of 1514,” the French Government claimed only the Prussian towns of Saarbruck and Baarlouis, the Bavarian town of Landau, and a few Belgian towns, all 'of which the Paris Treaty of 1814 added to the old territory of France as it existed in 1792. All the refer- ences to French claims of this kind, which had thus far appeared in the semi-official papers of the Government, favored this opinion. It seemed to be impossible that France, withont even a pretext, should ask from the Powers with which she has al- ways been at peace the cession of the whole left bank of the Rhine, embracing a territory of more than 5,000,000 of people. It is remarkable that even the organ of the Frencih Government in this city, the Courrier des Etats Unis, in its editorial article of yesterday, took precisely the same views as we, and endeavored to diminish the reprobation which it felt the step of the French Emperor would elicit even among honest Frenchmen, by pleading the smallness of the coveted territory and by falsely stating that the inhabitants of the three German towns were French in heart and three-fourths of them even in language, But, notwithstanding all these reazone, it seems, we were mistaken, and the frontier claimed by the Emperor is not that fixed by the Treaty of Paris in 1814 (involving the cession of the three German towns above-mentioned), but the frontier which France held from 1801 up to the first months of 1514, involving the cession of all the territory west of the Rhine. For the present, the demand is only ad- dressed to Germany; but this part of it being once granted, the annexation of Belgium would be con- summated without the least difficulty. We give in the extracts from our foreign files, published in Tug TRIBUNE of to-day, some obscure hints at the designs of the French Emperor, as now displayed; but the yress geverally, even i Krance, treated thyse does a man of Mr. Winthrop's anteccdents talk of ! the representation of Tennessce as exceptional, and | | one of the most | ble of such a breach of the public peac A dispateh from London, dated yesterday, seems to dispel all doubt. The Prussian Government, ageord- ing to this dispatch, has officially repliod that the Left bank of the Rhine territory would merer be ceded to France, Thus war between the two great Powers seoms to be inevitable, and, acoording to all appear- ances, it will be a war exceeding the one just closed both in fierceness and extent. A WORD FOR THE POOR WOLVES The Philadelphia Convention is likely to be a mel- ancholy and miscellaneous gathering, kept together, if at all, by some law of coherence, s yet unpublished by political philosophers. It will exhibit both the vagiety and the vivacity of a menagerie at the precise moment when the attendants are bringing in the baskets of beef; bat it will diminish the pleasure of the spectators and the safety of the performers i atrong cages are not provided for the hottest and hunzriest of the animals. Mr, Weed, who will have charge of the pole, will, no doubt, select a long one for stirring up the beasts; but, with every precaution, he may be lacerated by the tigers, or crunched by the hyenas, or out-chattered by the monkeys—especi- ally the Southern monkeys who handle revolvers, and may add the soft mnotes of those instru- ments to the persuasions of their natural cloquence. 1is is a serious matter. We don't know that Mayor Monroe is to be a delegate, thongh as a very lively, enthusiastic, and vigorous practitioner of pistol-recon- struction, we feel that he should be there. But the Convention promises no lack of creatures of the same sanguinary stripe. ‘What if the amiable Mr. Vander- Dilt should be brought home with an ounce of lead spherically shaped and snugly deposited in his duo- denum? What if somebody, with a particularly long and well-ground blade, should perform a surgical operation upon Mr. Stewart, and put all the clorks in his marble shop into mourning—to be had, however, at cost upou the premises? What if Mr. Jerome should never come back to his fine house and fast horzes? What, O ye gods! if Mr. T. Weed himself, while engaged in oiling the waters, sbould fall in heels over head, flask in hand, and never come up again? This is a catastrophe which we will not per- mit onrselves to contemplate. To prevent a deplorable row, riot, rumpus, shindy, freo fight, or by whatever name the threatened trouble may be called, we recommend that all the delegates, each sternly suppressing his private and personal emo- | tions, whether appertaining to the brain, the belly or the pocket, shonld unite in some preéminently be- nevelent and Christian enterprise, under the apostolic leadership of Mr. Vallandigham., May we be per- mitted humbly to suggest, for instance, the awful condition of the poor Rebel inhabitants of New-Or- leans—their dignity, their persons and their property 50 at the mercy of a horde of powerful, uurestrained and rampant Blacks that the other dag, in sheer des- peration and self-defe they were reluctantly com- | pelled (with mang sighs, doubtless, and secret tears) se, 8 a great number of their sable oppressors then and there to shoot wupon the spot! We are afraid that sufficient allowance sensitive, of Mayor Monroe and his suffering tail of low-spirited terrorists. A defeated insurrectionist may | bear simple t and swallow it—it is the trimmings of the unpalatable banquet, if we may say so, at which his gorge martially mutinies—the harrowing specta- cle of free niggers marching in procession with a band of music of their own '—the intolerable mortification | incident to an epidemic of equality t—the frightful prospect of an extension of suffrage to creatures of | chromatic epidermis '—the reception by ‘‘nigger- | Tings" of the alphabet at the hands of Yankee school- | marms t—the distracting phenomenon of Black wit- nesses swearing away the lives and the liberties, the | eredit and the cash, of the poor superior classes. Ah! how different things were once! By what mys- tery has the boot been transferred to the other leg? It is bootless to inquire. The Philadelphia Convention has ouly to recogoize the harrowing fact, and to do --»un-lhiu?nrllu- poor White folks of New-Orleans. We shouldflike to know what the deuce the members are to co together for if not for that? All the Southern Whites of the unmitigated, unrcpentant, disloyal strain, are the Poor Whites now, moral sand- hillers and abstractly eaters of clay. We pity them. | We demand at leas | their relief. We pity the as whilom we pitied the to be obliged, for the sake of peace and quietness, to shoot from seventy-five to one hundred negroes every week. It may be sport now, but it will be tedious presentty. Doesanybody ask us what the Executive Convention Liad better do for the relief of the poor, down-troddea and negro-ridden Whites of New-Orleaus! Mouey, we have no doubt, would be acceptable to the inferior class which (suchis the rapidity of social changes) was only yesterday superior elass, with all the cash, and all the Jand, and all the learning, and all the other good, pleas- ant and most of the bad, pleasant things—the solac- ing succedangnms of our checkered hnman existence. But we do not expect Mr. Woed to give them any money. We can fancy him exclaiming in the lan- guage of Canning's ** Friend bf Humanity,” * I give you six-pence ! I'll see you d—d first 1" Calm yourself, Sage of Albany! We ask no more of you t a fragrant sheaf of resolutions—every resolution a plaster, a poultice, and a persuader ! They may not have any great respect for your medicinal manufactures in New-Oileans; but your Northern friends can wear the goods vicariously, and your poor Southern friends will receive all the benefit. If yon only manipulate Mr. Vanderbilt, and Mr. Stewart, and Mr, Astor, and Mr. Drew, and the other monetary magnificoes properly—and you know how todo it, you kuow you do, innocent as you look—if you only get your resolutions of sympathy and relief properly passed, you will see some of the fattest wallets com- ing ont that ever emerged from human pocket. The saffering Loyal-Disloyalist will get something; but when there is money round, you can take care of yourself. Don't mock the poor New-Orleans gentle- men with empty resolutions, when they are at the mercy of the rampant, blood-thirsty sheep—these un- fortunate, persecuted, helpless wolves! As many reso- lutions as you please, Mr. Weed; but make the heavy fellows come down with their dust! MANUFACTURES AND MURDERS. We are beginning to observe again in the Southern journals the ancient incentives to *‘Southern Inde- pendence of the North.” **Letus,” ery the able ed- itors of these reviving regions, **make our own shoes, weave our own cloth, publish our own books, educate our own children, hammer our own iron, build our own ghips, print our own calico, so that we may be obliged to call upon the detested North for notbing.” To which, o far from being frightened by it, there is not an intelligent Northern man of business who will not cordially respond, *‘Go ahedd!” The general prosperity of the whole country is the last thing which our commercial and producing classes have to fear; and if there must be sectional competition (of which Wwe see 10 need), the North and West are abundantly able to take care of themselves. At any rate, we do not intend to shake our frightened souls out until our competitors begin to manufacture something of more value than spasmodic newspaper articles printed upon Northern paper, upon Northern type, upon Northern presses, and having for their improving spirit not so much the desire of making money as of hindering others from making it. 'We are not in the least to be scared by enterprises begun in that spirit— we believe in those which have for their object the | serious, solemu business of making that most conve- I nigut thing called and knowy as mouey; of wakiyg it has not been made for the feelings, so very nice and | | Rye, Oats and Barloy, will average fair crops; Hay w carminative resolutions for | now trinmphant Black folks.

All we ask is fair play, and that we shall be strong enough to secure in the future. But we hope these gentlemen are not so rich (like the milk-maid, in anticipation, ) asto scorn a little hon- est good advice, There is one kind of manufacture at the South which at present seems to be particulatly brisk—we mean that of human corpses, This is a branch of business in which our Southern brethren have always completely distanced all competitors; sometimes it has been carried on by joint-stock com- panies as in the late lively operations of the New- Orleans mob, and sometimes by individual enterprise, the only stock in trmle required beinga pistol or a bowie-knife. Itis an exceedivgly absorbing and ex- citing pursuit for the time being, but the market for | dead bodies is a limited one—indeed, when the medi- cal schools have been supplied, the balance of the pro- duct is a mere drng which must, at some cost, be shoveled ont of sight as soon as possible. Now, the re- turns being so small, and the disadvantages so great, we beg permission, as a mere matter of business, to suggest 1 to our Sonthern Lrothers, as preliminary toengagingin | 1os3 dangerous and more profitable pursuits, the aban- donment of the old, well-established but profitless | trade of murder. As a general rulo, a steady, tho- rough-paced merchant or manufacturer prefers to live | in a locality in which private shooting and stabbing are not authorized, or winked at, or protected and en- couraged by public opinion. 'The very life of business depends upon social order, respeet for the rights of | others, and the supremacy of the laws, No merchant (if he can help himself) will do business where he is likely to be paid by an angry debtor in lead or steel instead of gold, greenbacks or negotiable paper; no manufacturer will maintain mills or founderies where his laborers are systematically tormented, worried and swindled by an aristocratic, indolent, non-producing body of idlers and vagabonds. The South wants man- ufuctories. It may have them, But it caunot bave the joys of manufacturing and murdering both. The two things are incompatibl THE HARVEST. There is still time for disaster by frost—possibly by excess of rain; but, should the close of the season be s genial as the opening, this country will show a larger Agricultural product in 1366 than in any previ- ous year. The devastations of war and thesocial an- archy resulting therefrom will have considerably reduced the Southern product of Cotton, Sugar, Rice and Tobacco; while portions of the South-West suf- fered considerably in May from floods aud brokeu levees; much of our Winter Wheat was badly injured by the hard frosts and sudden changes of last Winter; but Spring Wheat is perhaps more extensively grown among us than Winter; aud the yield of this, especially in the far West, is extraordinary. was rather light; but midsnmmer rains are nobly compensating the deficiency; so that Fall feed and rowen will be better than usual. Of Indian Corn and Potatoes, there was never before so great aun area planted; and they rarely or never looked so weil. Weo judge that the Northern States will produce ten per cent, more Corn and twenty-five per cent. more Potatoes than ever before. Beans, Peas, and nearly all Garden Vegetables, also promise well, and have already yielded generously. As to Cotton, the croakers, who began with talking of acrop of Half a Million to One Million bales, are fairly dumbfounded. Unless the Worm should come at once to their aid, they are beyond hope. That the crop of 1366 will range from Two to Two and & Hall Miilions of bales, we have steadfastly believed; and wo now judge that it will reach the higher figure. Still, we advise those planters who are out of debt to be it no hurry tosell. The world is Cotton-hungry there is no great supply on the market, while there is a wide and strong demand for Cotton fabrics, So many planters have barely been able to make a crop, and are obliged to sell as fast as they can pick, if not faster, that we believe Cotton will be lower this Fall | than next Spring. We believe a crop of Two and 4 | Half Millions can be absorbed at 25 to 30 cents (gold) per pound at our shipping ports, and that those who accept lower rates sell too cheap. Let those who owe sell enough to meet | their liabilities o fast as they pick; but let all others await the turn of the market. | There is not Cotton enough grown this year to keep the mills running till another harvest; and the prices of goods will impel most of them to keep their | wheels in motion. We note with pleasure that new mills are going up and old ones being refitted through- out the upland districts of the South, We wish there were ten times so many. Oun the whole, our National industry is prospering. | Though we export but haif so much Cotton asin 1860, we shall doubtless receive more for the crop than then, while the freight and charges will e far less. | We shall have little Wheat and Flonr to export next year, but considerable Corn (or Meal), Cheese, Pork, Lard, &c.

But for | tho fact that we are importing excessively of Metals and Fabrics, and paying for them in Five- Twenties—that is, in drafts on the industry of our children, sold for two-thirds of their face—we should regard our industrial position and prospects with com- placency. We must stop selling bouds and begin | buying back those already sold: to which end, we | shonld forthwith contract the Currency snd enbance the Tariff. e——— The Freedmen's Opinion is the title chosen for a good-sized weekly, which is to be issued in St. Louis, onand after Sept. lst, the Rev.

' JrerERsoy, N, I, Aog 2, 1938, Having at last fulilled a long-cherishiod desire to visit the mountain region of my native State, I pen a few hasty notes thereon for the use and encouragoment of thase af ignorant of them as I was four daysago. For others, flieg can have no value, The White Mountains are not & chain but a cluster of granitic peaks in the northern part of New-Hampshire, wherein the Merrimac River has its head-springs, and which are among the principal sources of the Connecticus on the whst, aud the Androscoggin and Saco on the east. Tu extent, magnitude and elevation, they of course are far inferior to the world-famous Alps, the Rocky Monntains, &c., as they are far superior to all the moua« taius of the British Isles, the Cumberland range, and ta all that are well kuown of the Alleganies. Their most obvious advantage is their accessibility. Leaving New- York in the afternoon, yon may take tea next evening at cither of the great Summer hotels located at different points in their very heart; and these may likewiss be reached by a pleasant Summer day’s journey from Boston a8 from most of New-England. Approaching them by the valley of the Connecticut, and leaving by the Grand Trunk Railroad, which conveys you in five or six hours to Portland, or in thirteen to Moatreal, you are enabled to view them from opposite sides; while the great hotels are admirably located at distances of 15 ta 25 wiles apart, each where it commands capital views of several among the loftier peaks, and is convenient to lakos or falls of special interest, The visitor may spend a day oe cersl days at one house, then take & stage or special conveyance to the next; and so wind his way through the principal valleys and across the practicable ridges uatil ha feels that he has seen most of what is noteworthy; where. 48, & whole Summer industriously spent in the Alps oz any other great chain is barely a preparation for their thorough mastery. Wandering among sky-cleaving, glac ier-ribbed pinnacles is more exciting; but these are very satisfying. Let 1o one understand that the White Mountains are even relatively tame and characterless. In stecpness and in sharpness of outline, they have few superiors, even among the great chains; the light gray of their naked granite summits dispenses easily with the snowy diadem of the loftier Alps; while the Jack of vastness, of im- mensity, is not perceived nor realized where your whols borizon is bounded by lofty, rugged peaks, whereby the day is shortened on ecither hand. And in one respeet, these hights are rarely equaled, and never excelled: iu the universality and density of the forest (largely evergreen), whereby they are clothed for some 2,000 fect fro the val- lays at their bases, or for nearly 4,000 above the sea level. There are not mapy points below the line of general sterility on the Alps where the removal of the timber hag not proved detrimental to the harmony and beauty of out- line originally presented. As 1 have ascended Mount Washington only, I can make Do comparisons of views; bat the bridle-path from the Crawford House affords a greater variety of admirablo prospects than I ever found elsewhere, at elevations of barely 4,000 to 5,000 feet. After winding up through the dense woods for a long hour, you emerge into a thicket of awarf cedar, which accompanies you for the next halt hour; theneeforwarl, the all-abounding granite is eithe utterly naked, or barely covered in patches with a thin, poor grass, which the fierce winds scem unable to get sufli- cienthold of to uproot. Your way now lies for three or fone miles along the general summit of the ranges whiel is quite level in stretches of sixty rods to a foll mile, winding aronnd two or three peaks, with ocea- sional elevations and depressions,until you reach the lofty Dbase of the dominating peak known as Monnt Washing- ton, which rises henee some 1,200 to 1,500 feet—a giant mass of naked rock, with searcely a pateh of soil on any part of it: up whieh your path zigzags dizzily, and youe well-trained borses win their way slowly and painfully, by a succossion of springs from bowlder to bowlder which are just less didficult than climbing an interminable wooden ladder. I never saw a staircase which, if it would bear his weight, & horse might not ascend with far less dif fieulty. At length you reach a leveled and heavily-walled inclosure, some forty feet in diameter, designed simply to fend off the fierce winds of that giddy hight; and, here dis- mounting, clamber over the giant bowllers some sixty rode further to the **Tip-Top House,” where a rude but welcoma shelter—usually erowded from noon till 3 p. m.—proffers its gratefully accepted hospitalities, including a table, which though it may not afford what Bayard Taylor's pliinsman would consider a square meal,” is yet very generally and gladly patronized. The steak dealt to me was cer« tainly tougher than any (not of buffalo) I ever before tried to chew; but the black tea was excell:nt and refreshing, the berry pies good enough, the bread passable, and the chargs ($1 50 each) very moderate, considering that everythiog must be dragzed up the mountain, including wood for fuel, obtained five miles down; while no charge is made, though there should for admission to the house, and for & privilege at the fires, These cost money—a good deal of it—and all who use them should help pay for thew. The house itself, built of such stones as could be lifted upon and rudely masoned into walls, has a nearly flat, wooden roof, strongly if not securely fastened to its place by heavy rods of iron. The only other house on the sammit, though it tries to cower behind a shoulder of the peak, is likewise anchored to the und ng granite—and | with ample reason. The morning of our ascent (August 1) was clear though not cloudless; the day before had been remarkably fair; and our views from the lower summits had been superb, The valleys and peaks we scanued as we crept along the creat of the ridge were numberless ; lovely lakes and tarns, gleaming like molten silver, were visible in various direc* tions, often four or five at onee; at some points, houseg and cultivated fields were visible far down on our left, buy 1 recollect none at any point on our right, though the field of vision that way embraced several huadred square miles: on the whole, [ doubt that there is another prospect at tainable on horseback between the St. Lawreuce and the Mississippi which combines grandeur and grace in oqual measure with that presented from Mounts Pleasant, Mon- roe and Franklin, on the bridle-path from the Crawford House to the summit of Mount Washington. Of the view from that summit, I can say nothing, a4 it was thiekly swathed in cloud and must during most of the two houss of my stay, and the momeatary glimpses of the adjacent peaks and valleys wore partial and unsatisfring Had there been a rational hope of sanshine this morning, 1should have awaited it; but thore was not; and the rain which overtook us on our way down was reaewed and in- creased during the night. It ceased before morning; but left the higher peaks shrouded in heavy clouds, while fog was creeping up their lower bases. It was wise to come away, The bridle-path ascont from the Crawford House is so richly rewarded that I rejoice to find it so largeiy patron- ized, though the path is simply abominable. It ought to be improved at once. The charge for a horso to the sum- mit and back ($4) is vory moderate; and I entreat thoss interested to add a dollar and apply the proceeds to im- proving the road. This would supply & fund of certainly 1ot loss than §100 per week for ten weeks in each Summer; and this amount, faitbfully applied, would very soon create a passable track, and thus quadruple the number of eques- trians. Even $1,000, judiciously spent on the worst spots, would render the break-neck places passablo with half the difficulty and peril now eacountered, beside proving & mercy tothe poor, overtaxed beasts who are pow driven up and down rocky precipices that would tax the agility and wind of & dog. It must bo that this prayer will be heeded. Tho road up the opposite side of the mountain (from the (Glen House) is » marvel of engincering skill and courage. It was built by o company between 1855 and 1861, at & cost of $160,000, and is supported by tolls levied on every person, horso and wheel thet traverses it. There is no better road across any of the great Alpine passes. ‘The steepest grade is one foot in six; and, oven after carth bat Dbecome wholly unattainable, it is well made of granite aloue.
