J tiity?Uavlnp jusi OtuyAed to t thin city trim an excuniiog over the Northern Q Central, &annsylvaj>ia Central, Alleghany Q Valley, Ort Creek and Alleghany River, and . Philadelphia and Brie Railroads, and ae-tkis t is a aection of country very acldoin visited by peraona from the South, and especially from , our immediate section, anil is consequently , comparatively unknown to many of as* I bare . thought that a short account of the excursion^ ( with a description of the country, tho mines, niinorals, agricultural operation*, and other resources of the seotion, Would not be unintor- 1 estiug to your readers. Tho excursion was gotten up by tbo Pcnn- , sylvania Central Railroad Company, which is ? the largest and wealthiest corporation in the J Cnitod Sta'es, and boast of having tbo best and best managed railroad in the world. Iu their letter of invitation it was stated that the ? object of the excursion was to afford South* ' orn railway raon and other guests an opportu- < nity of viewing the scenery on their lines, togcthor with tho iron works, coal mines, oil re* 1 giun and machine shops Iocs od thereon. e The plan of the excursion was to leave Bal- <j timoro on Monday morning, June l.'itli, ?t 8 ' o'clock, passing llarrisburg and spending . the night at Altoona, where tbo principal ? shops of the company nro located, tnence g across tho Alleghany Mountains by Cresson <" to Pittsburg, the principal iron manulactur. itig city in tbo United States, where a day t was to be spent in examining the objects of t interest therein, tbenco up the Allcgbauy Val- R cy aud Oil Creek aad Allcgbauy River Rail, -oads to Oil City, wbere tbe principal oil wells y, ire located, thence by Corry to Eric City on 6 l.ake Eric, thence by Philadelphia ? ' <! " Itnilroad, crossing the m'Uintains at a differint poifft to W illiamsport, and thence by liar- ' risburg to lialtimorc, where wo were to arrive >u the Ibth?to-day. *> When the special train for the party was made up for the trip, nbout fifty gentlemen bad assembled aud ready to start. It was a matter of regret that there were not more from the South ; tho excursion was for tlioir special benefit, nnd was intended not merely as ii pleasure trip, but one which wns to be of immense benefit to them, by affording them opportunities of gaining valuable information wliiuli cannot be ns woll acquired iu any other way as by witnessing the ojasralions whore | skill nnd science nrc applied. This in forma* tion, it was hoped, would be applied nnd useful iu developing similar resources ut the South, where it is certainly very much neededThere was no reason to even suspicion from anything that was seen or heard during the t whole cxeursiou that there wn* any Fslfish ' ( motirc on the part of the Company who lur> i niahed the excursion, or any ono connected j with it, or iu any operations we witnvsicd in ' the country. It was apparently a desire to ' furnish to persons from the South an oppor- ; tunity of seeing the country nnd railroads> and of explaining to them the various operations connected witit tlio tainos, l>y competent1 intelligent persons, without cost, nnd to culti- i vatc social und friendly relations. ' < The train itself was a magnificent nfiuir; tha cars were of the very t est class, nnd ap- i parcntly every thing which eottld in any wny J contribute to the pleasure or comfort of the ] guests had been amply provided. At the appointed time the train moved off over the Northern Central Railroad at line , speed in the direction of Ilnrrisburg, passing i through a beautiful country in a high state of 1 cultivation. At Columbia the Susquehanna j River was crossed on the ii"w bridge, the old | one linviitg boon burnt by ticn. Early and bis command during the war. Here we struck ' the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, nnd were , joined l>y the (leticral Sufarir.tiiideiit. Tress- I urcr, several of the directors and other officers ' of that company, who accompanied the party i through the entire trip?other officers had , started \vith us fr on Ilnltinmro. Just before ' reaching 11.mist ing the train was stopped a, a large manufactory of steel rails, whteli had t just been I uilt, to afford the parly an opportu- y nity of examining it. We were told that they 1 had a demand for much more than they could produce, the Pennsylvania Central Railroad { alone proposing to take their entire production J for one year. Stoelrails are coining into very v general use on railroads over which a great , number of heavy traia* are daily passed, and c ire especially used about depots and rwitche* ' ind other places whero the rails are liable to 1 jo worn rapidly?they are used as a matter of s| jconomy. At one o'clock we arrived at liar- h isburg, where an elegant dinner was provided K or the party. After dinner, we left, the road . unning north-west through a very mountain, -p us country, equally as much so as the Faluda t! fountains, in the neighborhood of Hodges, on he Saluda Turnpike, yet tbo train ran at * ghtning speed along the banks of the river, urviug arour.d the points of the bills and it arough the valleys, over a very crooked road rilh the same ease and regularity as if we p rcre passing over a level country, the scenery w n many places being magnificent beyond de- *' icription, so much so that on one occasion one >f the party exclaimed, " Oh, that I had M ffursey hero!" The stream we were running 1< ip was crossed fourteen times in five miles.? The valley was highly cultivated, the fielde ? beautifully green with wheat, oata and ? grasses? comparatively little corn being culti- H ratod?the houses, bnrns and fencing all neat jj and substantial, and a general condition of g prosperity appeared to surround us at every turn. A canal also ran along the river by our aide, and now and then we would pass boats upon it, drawn by mules. We were frojbently told by those on board who were familiar with tho history of Ihe country, tha1 the canal was >he first thing that developed this section of country, but the business upon t bocamo so great that the people became too ' ast for it and built the railroad, and now . icarly the entire business is done by it; the ( npidity and promptness with which freight" ' ind passengers are moredby the railroad, rar? f iea all except such heary and bulky freights , is can be mored to places where the parties t re in no hurry for it. Towards craning we * irgan to soe evidences of the manufacture o^ roo in the smoke which here and there arn?e ( rem the furnaces in the hills imond us, to ? learly each one of which a track of railroad 4 tad been laid. Promptly at fire o'clock we arrired at Al- f oona, making the run of 132 mile* in three nd a half hours, with one stoppage. This is ' i city built in the mountains at the foot of the ' nain ridge of the Alteghanies, and where the , 'ompauy's principal shops are looated ( tbey> ? lowever, have large ahops at Philadelphia li md at curious other places. About .two 1 housand merhanioa aro employed in the shops || it this place. We stopped at the Logan a louse," which also bolonga to the Company, ? nd which for elegance in erery department }i s not Su massed br anr hotel T know in the ountry. The dialog room, we were inform h d, would accommodate 3000 pertona at a ' ime. After a good night'a reit and breakfatt, 11 re were oondootad through every department f the abopa, and each operation explained lo , a l>y competent per?ont, onr parly haidg lad a y the C.aoeral flnpar intendent and the mat- p * 'V * /' . er machinist and the foreman of each dci artu*ent. ^hese are said to b? Mm largrtt nd beet arranged railroad ah ope In the itfitcti States; they ooVelr about twenty acre*, f lapd, and the machinery and tools are all f the beat quality and first order. We no" iced several labor-saving machines that He lad not seen before, and which are of great oneequence as a natter of economy. The Company is building another set of shops at be sane plaqe, of about Che. same site, which s to bo-principally used in the coastrectieu >f cart. Leaving Altoona at eleven o'clock, we itarted up the mountains to the dividing ridge Mtween tho Atlantic and the Mississippi. A inscription of the scenery is impossible; it nust be seen to be tally appreciated. Tbe ibarp curves in the road, juet similar to those in the turnpikes in our mountains, gars great rariety to tbo scenery, and presented many landsome landscapes. Often as we were >aaaing up one side of a valley or mountain lide, on the other side, muoh above or below is, we would see trains passing along either >ver tho track before or behind ue, sometimes he freight treins drewu by three engines and sarrying from 40 to 80 heavily loaded ears.? I'bey have what Is known ns camel back or nountain engines to help the trains over the teep grades ou-tbe mountains, they sre then arricd on with ons engine. Tbe track is loubls, and sometimes we would meet annth*. r passenger train going iu tbe opposite direoion at a speed of 30 or 40 miles per hour.? it a place oalled tbe Horso-shoe the train was topped to afford tbe party i?n opportunity of getting out of tbo cars and looking at tbs concry. It is as wild and picturesque s spot s any in the neighborhood of I'resar'e Head r Table Rock. Finally wc passed through a unncl of ubout a mile in length and was on >ip of the mountain. Here we took an oleant dinner at a mountain hotel, in * country cry similar to our Flat Rock country, after rbich wc started down the west side of tho nountain, running at a speed of from 40 to 0 miles per hour; at one time we run 42 tiles in 53 minutes. At Johnstown tho train ras stopped to afford the party nn opportemiy of examining tbe Cambria Iron Works.? 'bese are built on the Railroad In a valley etween two mountains, with a capital of 1.000,000. Tho ceal, iron and lime ars all nken out of the moun'.aina. within leas than alf a mile from the Work*. The Company ] mploy, end were working the day we were | hern, 4500 men?a number nearly equal to the thole number of men In l oth UreeuVille and iHckcns counties. The product ot the Work* * about 250 ton* railroad iron pur day, heaides ileel and many other article* made of iron.? rhe Prc*ldent of the Company showed vis through tbo entire Works. The next place at which the train was stopled was a coal mine about a mile and a half n length, which the party went through on mall cars drawn by mules. The mule* boinmo unmanageable once or twice, and the 'are ran off the track two or three time* durng tho trip, which did not add touch to the out fort of the passenger* ; each miner and loch passenger was furnished with a small amp, which furnished all the light we bad.? Finally tho opening on the opposite aide of he monntain was reached, and I think each >nc of the party was fully satisfied with their ixpcrimcnt, without desiring to repeat it.? Still 1 have do boubt they were perfectly safe n the mine, but tbey were unaccustomed to io long a journey under ground. The miners ippcar h ippy and contented, und make large wages (trom $4 to $6 per day.) Thoy work and are paid by tho ton. They often boeomn dissatisfied with their wages and strike."? They bad just gone to work when we were there after a "strike "of two months. This, however was only one of tbo coal mines along the road ; the whole mountains are fill ??? iiuu juu can pcb iiic antrances lo the mine* in all the Kills. Heaving the mines, we started at n rapid "peed, mill soon caine in sight ol" It ruddock's ratal t utile field, on the Monongnheln, nbont ten miles this side of Pittsburg, and ahout night entered the city, (the Birmingham of America.) and stopped at the Union Depot Hotel, belonging to the Company, which, like those we had stopped at before on the excursion. was elegantly kept. I was somewhat surprised to learn from statistics shown me, that more than one-half of all the iron mode in the United States is made in this city and in this neighborhood, and three fourths of all the steel. After a good night's sleep, and a good snp!>er and breakfast, the party was invited to go ivcr the city and look at the different points if interest, and on going to the door tound [hat the t'oinpiny had pruvtJod twenty carriages for the party. They \iere invited to be icntcd in thein, when they started, under the end of competent persons, to examine the vorks through the city. They visited iron, itcel and glass works in great numbers and ariety, each operation being thoroughly exslained by persons who thoroughly understood lie process. The manufacture of steel and tlnss were particularly interesting. The pary rutin tied to the hotel, and partook of an elignnt dinner at two o'clock. Alter dinner tbo arriages wore again brought out, and the parv iniited to look farther. They crossed the tionongahcla River into Alleghany City, and ieited other locouiotivo shops and iron manifactories. Returning they were carried to he Inclined Plane Railroad, which has roently been constructed to conrey persons to heir homes on the top of one of the hills near lie city. The longtb of the track is 160U,and be elevation J80 tcet. The cars aro confruoted to run over it so that the seats are vel, by elevating the rear of the ear. One car oes up while the other eotnes down. Tbey are loved by a stationary engine on the top of tho ill, and are drawn by n repe n.ado of wire, here is another wire rope attached, to ratch ic car and hold it, in case tho one drawing it ould break. It is said to he perfectly safe ; it I think that, like the mine, one trip satis;d each one of the party, and I do not think tbor one of them felt a disposition to repeat , or that they were at ease while either atmding or descending. From the top of the ill there is a beautiful view of tbe cities of ittsburg und Alleghany City, which, by tbe ay, contain 270,000 inhabitants ; but the nuke arising irom tbe great number of iron orks almost hides the city from view. In nssing through the different works it was uprising with what ease tbe men handled irge pioces of hot ireu. A piece weighing 00 lbs at white heat < handled apparently 'ills as much ease as . not accustomed to it rould handle blocks of wood of same sue, reighing perhaps forty pounds. It is all acuired by practice, the development of the aoscles, and what is known as tltigki. Tbe nen in those heated places dress as lightly as tossilile, many of them without shirts, lint the inspiration flows very freely all the time.? rticy are said to he remarkably healthy, and ive to quite as old age aa persons not exposed o such heat Their wages are good?from $3 a $8 per day. Most of them work by tho .on. These wages enable them to live well, md to cat plenty of such food as they desire ; ind they choose sueh as will contribute to the levelopment of their muscular power, sueh as leef, potatoes and bread. Tbey are said to >e uncommon hesrty eaters. In the mannfaeure of steel, one process is to subject tbe iron At as high a heat as can be got upon it for ten lays We saw some of the iron which had >een thus subjected ; add how the men eould itand the heat to which they were exposed in tandling it, was a mystery to ns. One not iceustomed to it was unenmfortabla at a dis ance of fifty feel ,rom the metal ; yet these nen aiooa immeaisieiy over me lurnare ana ifted oat the pots containing it with their ongs. Thii wai said not to he a very healthy iccupation, and that the man ao employed and ixpoaed did not oOen live more than eight or en year* after com manning it ; but they got [ood wages?>$14 per day?and there were alraya plenty anaiona to bira, to taka the ilaeea of thoae who die. One thing yon could not lie'p observing n and about Pilt*biirg, and in fact in all he country we parsed through, and that ?*a 1 lint there were no idlera Everybody ran at woikat something. and prodneing omething. The laws ol tba city prohibit >oy a from idling on the street a ; they are aken up by the polloc, and if they have o employment. they are aant to tha worki?tn<* and made to work, or to the frea ehoole. The vagrant lawa In reference to duha are also said to be rigidly enioreed n and about the city.

Leaving this point. we continued up the streams, the msd winding its war along the hanks of the livers until we resohed the oil region, and, fioally, Oil Oily, where we took dinner. This country h*s noly been settled since the ennetrtietion of the railroads through it and the discovery of th* oil, but is now a thickly populated, wealthy end prosperous country. In apeeking of the country, we were frequently lold that it was only ten years old, and that all we saw in the way of improvements, had Iwen onnetraeted within that time. First lite railroads were hnllt, then the oil was discovered, then the farms were opened and towns and citiea built. The oil wells area cuiiosity which has never been explained. The persons pumping the oil out of the wells, and who have heen familiar with them from the time the oil was 6rst discovered, until the present, are as ignoiant nf what produce* it, and of what ilia composed, as soy one who never saw the wells or oil. The only thing they know, is, that if a well is bored a certain deplh, or until a oer'ain kind of ; atone or gravel ia reached, the oil is reached, I and can be pumped out for a time, when In most of the wells it neaaes to ftow. At ft- at I when it ceased to flow, it was thought the | oil was exhausted, hut now it is not thought i so, hut that the eontlnoal pumping and (.suction towards the well at lite bottom, closes up all the ereviors it: the rock through which the oil peseta, and then thr well ia dry?as it is termed?httl then another well may he hofed wi>hln a- iew feet of the dry one, and nil obtained Jy? perhaps | as great quantity as the fit st one There ia a great difference in the qnantity of oil pumped out of the different wells per day. Some 3 barrels, some 10. ni|ior? 1M>, 40, 100 end , some as-high aa 3.0O0 barrels per day, > ut j ihe laat. is not common. Tits average i is about 20 barrels per day. Tbe product of Oil Creek and tbe oil resr'on thereabouts, we were informed, was 12.C4K) i'arrela per day. The pr c- at the we'la is about <4 to |4 60 per barrel. It is taken to various places in its c?nd? state, called petrnlenm, where it is refin-d end made into lite different kinds of oils we see in the market*? InbricHi in*, illuminating, Ac Large nmonnta of money have been mads out ?.f it. One company (the Columbia) tbe President of which joined our party, and gave me h's last report to his stock holders? informed in* thnt. his company was firmed wi|?> a captsi ol tl<0 .<m0. Tltey issued stock for $2 600,000. They have paid dividends $3,000 000, and the p'esent market vnlu- of the stoek is $6,000.00?, sird all this within siv years; so that npon a capital of $200.-000, the stockholders have realised $8,000,000. We stopped at th'ir works, aud their emp'oyeea came ont to reeeive us with a hand of musie, and slto-wed and explained to us every process of pumping, boring, Ac This company is pet haps an exception or more profitable than mogt id them, atlll there at e many fabulous s ories of tlie immense fortunes mads by individuals and companies There have also been many bogum eompaaies raised, by which the stockholders lost all they pot in. Tits wella in the vall*y of Oil Creek are about 860 feet deep Those on the mountains are as much deeper, ni the ground or top of tha well is alt tve the villey, the oil being on s level. i lie derrick* over ill* were look at a distance very nine It like this (hipping in a harbor?the well* in many place* attnort a* thick a* tree* in the foreat.

There ts a column of g** flowing from each of the well*. and many ol the online* are driven hj that a? fuel, nnd they never ti?e any other. Tlta wella Joea'?d in the mountain* at a distance from the railroad, pump their oil from the well to the rail* road. Some of them which we eaw pump* ed it in ii on pip-s a die ame of *even mil a* After examining lite wella and vicinity to our sa'iafaction. wt left for Riia City on Lake Erie hy tha way of Corry. which ia a new and fl mrishing city built up at the junction and crossing ol eeveral railroad*. We arrived at Kd? at 7 o'clock, p m. We topped at theK?ed House, wtierewehad a good night'* rest and an excellent supper and breakfast. After hteikfaat we were i taken out on tha Lake in boat* We a *o 1 hoarded a man of war that wa* lying in I the harbor, the officer* ol which were pre* pared for us, and rceeived ua with great I cordiality, arid had us to share with them some of the luxuries of their ealilu. Wr I examined the docks and other objects of I interest about the whar'a. The city o' Erie i appeal* to he a very handsome place, and the party regretted that they did not have time to i?e more of it. There is a natural enrlnaitv ahout it, whi<-h, like tha oil well*, haa never been explained. When a well ie tmred to a depth of ahout 40O feet, a flow of ga* is thrown out of it, which I* u*ed for msny purpose*. Mant *'eam engines in the city use it entirely fur fuel The eaa works use no other fuel than the gas from a well in their yard. Many,tonuses are lit with it, and it makes quit* as biilhant a light aa mnnuiaeiur?<i gee. n<? 011 nee yet been di?eov?-rei in the neighborhood ot Krle? There ia another peculiarity about coal and oil.

When heae people w int to do anything in a tea lion Hf enuhfry where therer Ik no railroad. Iha flrd thing they do it to bolld a railroad into it. They n d to me. that lh?y intend r<\ to t>nild many mora railroads through Iheir mountain region ; and if you look opnn the map, it appaafs to bo cheeked off all over villi thorn now. It ia contemplated to build a railroad from Pittsburg to Charlealnn. Fnni what 1 eav, I am abra that railroads caw he built through all the mountainous portion of Western North Carolina. A road from Greaavilla to Ashe ville. would prevent oo difficulties at all to those mountaineer* of Pernajtuania. We passed through a hundred places much more difficult. From all I saw. I am cure that, with the exception ol the coal in the mountains, that country haa no udyantage over nara We have a better climate than th.lr*. naturally a mora productive aoiI, and with proper aare and culture our lands ci>n be brought up to aa bitch a state ol cultivation aa theirs 1 think thers ia better clover in the City of Graanville, in savers) Iota, than I saw la Pennsylvania, and it can be made everywhere that the land la made rich and proper care taken. What wa want la railroads that prtil bring population?ihr two combined wHl brmawealth, it never can txist without them. We want railroad*, not to rnn to the mountains and atop, but to pa?a through in avarjr dl-eation, O \ u III if IIS numk Ami AkoaW '?** with the balance ff the world; affording ?ra an opportunity of tolnglhag With ohitena o/ different localities far remote trona each oiher?hearing the views of eaoh et.d profiling by thorn. It i? known to every body who h?a traveled at all, that whrn you travel five hundred mile* from home, It ia lb*; raraat thing to meet with any one who know* anything about our ?eotion. Why? B>ca<rre there it no way to get here and get away whbout coming ngw fJreetirifle R?nd and returning upon it. When you ewo in doe* a stranger to rwu kere, 1 never eaw one tTiat waa not fjeaacrl. Upp~r Oeorgiir l? much more prnapereus than we are j they look as if tbey waia italf a century ahewd of ne ; and why 1? Their country ia no better than onra. It it b'Cnnae their country in actreaviMe fi-nm every direction hj raihoade. They will continue ahead of us, and to increaee tire dhtance bit ween na, until wa learn wisdom and I mid railroad# onraelrea. Altogether, the a acromion waa a magnificent affair. I doubt if one on a more splendid scale waa ever attempted on thia .mntinent The road itaalf la the finest one in the coun'rr. It works over 8.000 axiles. nod haa a capiUil 970,000,000. It* Ineome l*?t. year waa $17,000,009 The board of iiiie<'lora appropriated $10,000 to pay the expenrea of thia excuraion. 1 presume it did d< t coat half that aum, but aver^* Lh>ng wiii provided that comfort or pUaaure r-quired, and the cxaurtionlata. I have no doubt, had an opportunity of witnessing the operation and management of tha beat ind beat managed road they every saw, or perhaps ever will eee, at well ae erring many object* of intereat and curiosity that hey had never aeao before, and cam a a way iiuch benefited by the trip.
