From Port Clinton we go onward through Orwigs- burg, the county town of Schuylkill, well built and re- spectable, until we reach Schuylkill Haven, on the bank of the river. IIcre is an admirable weigh lock, to as- certain the tonnage of the boats; it is a very simple and beautiful contrivance, requiring not more than ten or fifteen minutes for a boat of any tonnage. The other works are built of the most durable materials, and in the ) VOL. IX. 51


best manner, no expense being spared for what is nse- ful, and nothing wasted in mere ornament.


Schuylkill Haven is fed by a rail-way, double line, which runs up the banks of the West Branch river, of- ten crossing and re-crossing it upon well constructed viaducts (like a giant striding his prostrate adversary, who may fret and foam, but cannot rise to harm him) by Minersville, some twelve or fourteen miles, as far as the Broad Mountain. The mines begin as you ascend from the Haven, if ascent it may be called; as soon as you pass through the Red-shell tract, then you see at small intervals diverging rail-ways to the right and to the left communicating with the numerous collieries al- ready opened, and the principal one passing up the valley of the West-west Branch. At Minersville, the mine of F. B. Nichols, Esq., particularly attracts attention; it is opened into the mountain but a small distance from the rail-road, and the coal may be almost said to be de- livered from its mouth into a large chute, from whence it is passed directly into the cars. This is, however, by no means a rare convenience. Passing still upward, and by the excellent mines of Mr. Dundas and many others, and numberless latent rail-ways, you come to Messrs. Eldridge and Brick's fine mine on the Broad Mountain, the coal of which is said to be harder than that of some others, and for that reason is sometimes preferred. These mines all appear to be in full and profitable opcration-of this we have had evidence in the numerous trains of cars, five in a string, carrying twelve and a half tons, which we met on our way up, and overtook on our way down to the Haven. These were drawn, or rather accompanied by a single horse, for their traces arc seldom tight.


The whole of this work, the rail-way, is in the first order of perfection, and does infinite credit to the skill of the engineer, Dr. Kugler, and to the spirit of the company. Nothing is to be desired but the iron rails, and when the company finds it convenient to substi- tute them, the work will be found perfectly prepared for their reception. Every thing has been donc in the most substantial manner; and we heard with pleasure that the increase of the transportation, and a small ad- dition to the toll, must quickly extricate the company from its debts, and reward the stockholders with hand- some dividends.


From Minersville you may cross over a mountainous, but good road, directly to Pottsville-distance, say four miles, or by Schuylkill Haven, and then along the turn- pike, eleven or twelve miles, and now we are at Potts- ville and Mount Carbon, for these are onc. Our sur- prise at the view of this extensive inland city just start- ed into being, like the mountain from the ocean, is in- describable. Its splendid and costly hotels, taverns and public edifices, elegant and convenient dwellings, ex- tensive shops and stores-all these make it difficult to give credit to the representations of what this place was some four or five years ago. You must see Potts- ville, and compare what you see with what you hear, to judge of its growth. Doubtless this has been some- what disproportioned, and perhaps premature. Potts- ville, as a town, displays the same physical precocity which is said to characterize the minds of our youth. But it will soon gain strength proportioned to its size.


If it is to be lamented that the town has not gone

forward more slowly,-keeping pace with the actual increase of business and accumulation of wealth; still some excuse is to he found in the abrupt opening of such a scene of enterprise and adventure, perhaps without a parallel-and unavoidably tending to invite and encourage a spirit of reckless and thoughtless spe- culation. It might have been expected that a purga- tion would follow-that things would settle down at last into a more reasonable condition. This has proved to be the case. Still you see very few houses untenanted, and Pottsville is now again starting on the course of great prosperity, with an exchequer full of experience. The population consists generally of men of business, who calculate upon gaining a livelihood, less by their wits than by their works, - industrious, well-informed, intelligent, and even acute, generally temperate, cer- tainly not less so than we find that of other similar towns. Here we met faces, and shook hands with young and old, whom we had missed for years, and now found fully occupied with respectable and profitable employment, as principals or agents. These meetings were occasions of reciprocal delight. They were like those with lost friends found in a land of promise.


The mines about the towns are hard to be num- bered. But besides these, there are those of the Little and Big Norwegian Creeks-with excellent rail-ways, by which the mineral is poured from exhaustless stores into the lap of Pottsville. This beautiful town is of it- self worthy of a journey ten times as long, even if it were less pleasant. I leave it here, as I did yesterday, when I left Col. Shoemaker's excellent inn, not with- out regret. But, if it were possible to say all I have to say about it, I would not,-some things must be left for you to see-and to wait until then to be known by you.


Thence we go to Port Carbon, distance 13 to 2 miles, over an excellent road, which brings you suddenly to a fine view of the site of this junior town. Like the el- der sister, it lies in a basin, rising as you recede from the river, upon a hill, forming an amphitheatre. It stands at the confluence of Mill Creek and the Schuyl- kill, occupying both banks ofeach, and at the head of the navigation of the latter, which suddenly terminates here, but with a full depth of water.


The prosperity of Port Carbon is already secured, by an extensive (ten miles) double rail-way,-lead- ing along the river, sometimes in its very bed, - and often crossing it-already as far as the Tuscarora Mountain, where passing by numerous other mines and lateral ways, you come to the valuable mines of Messrs. Blight, Wallace and Co., Lawton and others. A com- pany is chartered to tunnel the mountain, and make a direct communication with the rail-road to Port Clinton. But the cost! It is perhaps too great to be encountered now,-nor is it at all necessary to Port Carbon. She has enough to employ her fully, and for centuries, in her immediate vicinity. From Tuscarora, Mauch Chunk may be seen, and there is a good road thither; with a line of stages passing daily each way.


The Schuylkill valley abounds with the finest timber, affording employment to numerous saw-mills, whence the lumber is transported on the rail-ways to the port, and so to a profitable market down the canal. It is re- markable, that before reaching Tuscarora, we see the river.Schuylkill disemboguing its whole volume of water through a wooden hox, not more than two feet square, and so feeding a single saw-mill. Such is the humble beginning of this majestic stream,-and what a lesson does it afford to men, individually and collectively! Port Carbon seems to have taken the wisdom of the moral, and, profiting too, by the experience of her neigh- bor, is making a slower beginning; but these must lead, with economy and industry, perseverance and constan- cy, to the sure accomplishment of great ends.


endless water powers, to which forests of the finest tim- ber are already bending their lofty heads. Its valleys too are said to be unusually fertile, affording the best pasturage, and its hills excellent arable, while the moun- tains give fine ranges for black cattle, sbeep, swine, &c. Ilere are to be the fine farms which are to reward richly the toil of the husbandman, and to feed the mouths of the surrounding inhabitants with the fatness of the land. But the coal,-that is now every thing. The "ploughman has been tempted to leave his proper occupation by the prospect of sudden gain; but he will return more and more as he finds that he takes his titbe of profit from every ton of coal that is raised, by feeding the miner, not less surely than if he himself were working in the drift.


Up the creek and at a small distance, you begin with the invaluable mines of Col. Wetherill and others, yielding the mineral of a quality certainly, to say the least of it, not inferior to any. A double rail-way con- ducts it towards the port, near which it ends with num- berless branches, like the mouths of the Nile, to the ba- sins and landings of the numerous proprietors, where the coal is passed into large chutes, and thence, being by a simple contrivance screened in its descent, it goes into the boats waiting for their cargoes.


The town already contains a goodly number of well built, comfortable dwellings, and one especially, that of Mr. Lawton, is remarkably tasteful. The splendid store-house, of stone, built by Col Wetherill, would be an object of interest and admiration any where. Not a few of the inhabitants have had and improved the advan- tages of the best education; others too are intelligent, well-informed in matters of business, and of kind tem- pers, all forming what may lay fair claim to the appella- tion of a good society-with the more common, but not less valuable qualities of industry and integrity.


You have heard of late wicked attempts to fire this town, and it is surprising that no detection has yet been made of the perpetrators. It may be delayed, but it can hardly fail to come at last. In the meanwhile in- quiries are zealously prosecuted, and measures taken to prevent a repetition of these cruel crimes.


A commodious bridge has just now been thrown across Mill Creek at the expense of Col. Wetherill, which shortens the communication between parts of the town; and it is contemplated to make other improvements which will open and beautify the whole scite, and must make Port Carbon as charming to the eye as it is des- tined to be prosperous.


But there is yet another improvement in the way of immediate execution, of vast importance indeed. Look at the map and you will observe the circuitous route now travelled from Port Carbon round to the bend of the river to Pottsville, and thence sweeping in a semi- circle to Orwigsburg. Instead of this roundabout, a bridge is to be thrown across the river at Port Carbon, and a road opened over the Sharp Mountain and then continued in nearly a straight line to Orwigsburg. This will reduce the travel nearly one half between the two towns, -and this road will be the most direct from the latter place to Pottsville, and must soon become the great stage road and main high-way to the north, east, and west. It is unnecessary to dwell on the benefits which Port Carbon must receive from the change.


The water of this town surpasses all that I have ever met with or heard of in abundance and purity, and this is I believe an unerring indication of the salubrity of its vicinity. Certainly it is so with regard to Port Carbon. There are some diseases which are incidental to all new settlements, but they vary much in their degree and ef- fects at different places. I believe there is but one doctor here (not one whole lawyer!) and the only pa- tient I have heard of his having since I came, is in a line of practice indicative of the opposite of unhealthfulness, and affording employment in the city, as I am told, only to a very few of the profession, while for some DISEASES


Down the valley, as it is called, we come again to the port, and may take a fresh departure up the Mill Creek. This is a powerful, full, unfailing stream, and might well challenge the title of the river-affording | there is a doctor or an apothecary at every corner. In

short this is the very place for our worthy friend -, who, you know, after an enjoyment for so many years of the other matrimonial delights, still grieves with his sweet partner at one sad disappointment. Advise them to hasten to this port without delay and by all means. "Who Knows?" as old Christopher Ludwig said to General Washington and his lady; and how it would delight our patriotic friend to contribute to this race of mountaineers, whose chubby, rosy little faces show that they spring up here like indigenous plants, not exo- tics,-and that they are to be the precursors of gene- rations which will be distinguished by bodily vigour and manly proportion.


There are several other matters which I wish yet to dwell on, and they are important to men who, like you, have committed the folly of getting such a host of young ones about you. Here is the proper scene of action for such of your hoys as have the virtue and mag- nanimity to enter upon large and elevating pursuits,- to manage well-to conduct affairs requiring constant care and skill-and, upon a wide scale, to despise ef- feminacy, town pleasures, and all its seductions-and to stand, with the erectness of real manhood, self-depend- ent, and with some of the firmness of the enduring mountains which will encircle them. Here too, on every side, are to be seen the magnficent works of nature, to which the arts and devices of man seem as nothing, which cannot fail, rightly regarded, to raise the youthful mind above the mere pursuits of sordid gain, to intellectual and moral excellence, from "nature up to nature's God," and impress it deeply and lastingly with true, unostentatious and reverential piety, and all the social Christian virtues, with which this is associated, faith the guide, and practical goodness the path of action. And, after a just estimate of things temporal and


COMMUNICATION WITHI LAKE ERIE.


The rapid increase of emigration to the west, and consequently of business upon the lakes, particularly lake Erie, has for some time seemed to demand an in- crease of steamboat facilities. Although we have now a daily line from Buffalo to Detroit, and another connecting Buffalo with this place, by means of stages from here to Portland IIarbor, besides upwards of one hundred other vessels plying constantly upon the lake, yet many inconvenient delays of passengers and goods at Buffalo, are occasioned; and even in most cases, where passengers do embark to go up the lake, the boats are so heavily laden that the voyage is a very un- pleasant one. While at Buffalo, a few weeks since, we learned from personal observation, and information from those competent to judge, that from five to ten hundred persons left that city daily, bound westward; the average was computed at over seven hundred. Add to this the immense amount of baggage, mer- chandise, furniture, &c. that is transported on the lake; it is very evident that another daily line of steam boats can do a profitable business; and we are happy to learn that preparations are already making for that purpose. Arrangements have been made and the work commenced, for building four new boats-two at Erie, one at Cleaveland, and one at Huron; each of them to be larger and worked with more power than any boat now on the lake. They are to form an evening line from Buffalo and Detroit, touching only at this place, Cleaveland, and Grand river. Two small steamboats have already been put in operation at this place, this season; one designed principally, for conveying passen- gers and baggage between this shore and the piers, where the line boats now usually stop. The other is intended as a packet to run on the St. Joseph river. The latter left here on Thursday last, bound for Chica- go, with passengers and goods, whence she will return and commence her regular trips.


We understand it is in contemplation to establish a


regular line to Chicago. There is little doubt that such a one will become absolutely necessary in a very short time; and from what we can learn, it appears not improbable that should one be started immediately, the present business and travel, with the consequent increase that would follow, would amply remunerate any individuals who would engage in the enterprise.

READING, June 23.


The ceremony of laying the corner-stone of the new German Reformed Church, in progress of being erect- ed upon the site of the old, was performed on Sunday last in the presence of a crowded auditory. The de- posits in the cavity were as follows:


The Holy Bible and Hymn Book; the ancient plate, of which we gave a description some time ago; a new plate bearing the records of the event; a medal struck in commemoration of the centennial anniversary of the birth of Washington, and a number of silver and cop- per coins of the coinage of the mint of the United States. We are pleased to state that the collections taken up were liberal.


PACKET BOAT .- Mr. Leech's new packet boat Da. LEHMAN, runs regularly between Huntingdon and Har- risburg. She performed two full trips last week, and the distance from Huntingdon to Harrisburg being 105 miles, of course she travelled 420 miles in one week. The boat is well finished, handsomely furnished; and the accommodations on board good. There will soon be a daily line of packet boats running between Philadel- phia and Huntingdon each way.


Drs. S. Jackson, R. Harlan, and C. D. Meigs, were on Friday last, appointed by the Sanitary Board of this city, to visit the Canadian cities. These gentlemen left town for the north on Saturday.
