Tae Vauuer or tux On1o—Tux Tair rrom Wuer.ine ro Ontvanann. » ) At 10a. m. to-day I left land, crossing the river to Br! taking the cars of the C! Wheeling Railroad, there. if, way more on the Ohio bank of the'tiver, of traveler to get a better view of the territory on the Virginia side—the Pan-handle—where that immediately skirts the Obio, than of Obio; ex- cept her river flats, highly cultivated and very productive, as they are. There is evidently no difference perceptible to the traveler by this road. in the progress of the art of agriculture in this Portion of the two States. though the river towns: and settlements of Virginia here show to much best advantage. Her towns are larger, though not so. numerous as those of Ohio; that is, imme- diately upon the river, and more manufagturing is done in them; Welisburg, not far above Wheeling, almost rivaling Wheeling itself in the appearance of its factory and furnace smoke- stacks, from the Ohio side of the river. At Min- g0, 19 miles above Wheeling, Is the junction with the Steubenville and Indiana Railroad, in the midst of one of the most beautiful vallies my eyes ever beheld, Every description of the crops of the season grown here at this season are flourishing on the small farms into which the flat is divided; and together make a picture of Prosperity and happi- ness that isnot a little enviable. Steubenville, comparatively an ancient Obtotown, with annals teeming with incidents of Indian wars, is passed 22 miles above Wheeling, stretching for a mile slong the river's bank, and giving evidence in its dinginess of the use of bituminous coal there as freely as at Wheeling; though the rapid tran- sit of the train through it, and the position of the track immediately under the bill, afforded me no opportunity to glance even at its distinguishing features. Above Steubenville, as below, plenty smiles upon both sides of the river—Ohio and Virginia appearing, bere, to run an even race in the pro- gress of their arts of improving the Industrial and physical condition of man. In 25 miles of our progress up the river I saw but three steamers under way, owing to the very low stage of water at present. Railroads having monopolized the river’s former travel, the class of fast passen- er boats so famous here ten years ago no longer exists; those plying between the river towns now, steaming but half as many miles per hour as their Predecessors above referred to, and being devoted almost entirely to the freighting business. The entrances to coal mines in the hills skirting the river on both sides are objects of great interest on tois part of my route. Their train roads shoot down for hundreds of feet, it may be, to the level of the river's flais; where flat-boats receive their loads of the mineral, dropped into them from the cars ran out over them upon staging. From Steu- benville up the river, the manufacturing charec- teristics of the region seem to have been trans- ferred from the Virginia to the Ohio side. Thus, while Virginia, here, teems with smiling rural homesteads, Ohio smokes and burns, not less interestingly, with iron mills, &c. Above Jeddo, however, on the Virginia side one sees half a dozen coal mines in operation within the space of a mile or two; and, asa consequence, a thrifty and well-built village stretching along the foot of the hills there. We dined at Wellsville, Ohio, 43 miles out from Wheeling; and again taking the cars, this time out from Pittsburg. At3p. m. I renew the jour- ney to Cleveland, heading back down the river for three miles, toa point whence the railroad diverges west and starts out from the river's bank to cross the country to Lake Erie’s shore. On leaving the river the route of this railroad runs up Yellow Creek valley, which in some of its attributes differs from those of the creeks I wound among yesterday in Western Virginia. Thus, the highlands between which it lies are but billocks, and it (the valley) is broader than most of them, being far more cultivable than any that {saw between the Allegantes’ top and Wheeling. Such being the characteristics of Eastern Objo, hence it was settled up before Western Virginia. At Hammondsville, 6 miles out from Wells- ville, we passed a dozen coal mines and coking furnaces, in which the refuse coal is made mer- chantable—put into shape to be of value to the iron masters; and also a manufactory of coal oil, all together employing perhaps a hundred hands and their families. Near Hammondsville, we Passed the handsome residence of the world- renowned E. K. Collins, the founder of the “Collins Line” of ocean steamers, who since the Government withdrew its aid from that enter- prise and its consequent death, has himself with- drawn from commercial pursuits in New York, and becoming a heavy proprietor of coal and iron lands in this vicinity, is now as conspicuous asa miner, iron master, &c., here, as formerly as & seaman, ship-owner, and merchant in the Em- pire City. We are now at Salinesville, near which in early times there were many salt works, one of which only is now in operation. From Yellow Creek to Hammondsville, { forgot to mention above, is one of the richest iron and coal tracts or veins in this country, and discoveries of sites for ofl wells are now being made there. As we Progress Northwest coal mines seem to open to view with nearly every turn of the road; while the country immediately bordering it does not appear to possess the agricultural advantages of the vicinity of the Obto, the fields seeming to be quite as worn out as those of any Eastern State, while the farm buildings, &c., are not as good. The minerals in the bowels of the earth here evi- dently attract more of the capitalists’ attention than the superincumbent soil. The county (of Columbiana, Ohio,) in which we are now trav- eling, however, is regarded as one of the finest wheat producing counties in the State. That is, off the line of this railroad below Summitville, the frontier of the mining part of it, which we have just passed. The farms here run from one to four hundred acres in extent, and sell for from thirty to forty dollars per acre, except where highly improved. As we progress into the inte- rior of the State the appearance of the land im- Proves, together with that of the farm buildings, creditable indeed, to the Quakers of this section, who own them. At Hanover we met a freight train from Cleve. land of 26 double cars, half a dozen of which were laden with iron ore from Lake Superior, destined to be smelted in Pittsburg and Wheel- ing. Its superior yield of iron of the best qual- ity justifies its transportation so far frem where mined. ‘Thirty miles out from Wellsville we passed East Rochester, a village of some importance ere railroads had usurped the carrying business of the Sandy and Beaver canal, on the bank of which it stands. That not being navigated now, East Rochester evidently shares its dilapidation 1 am In love with the cleanliness of the fence locks in this Pennsylvania Quaker settlement of Columbiana, os well as with the thriftiness of thelr stock, and their system of cultivation. at Bayard, 32}4 miles out from Wellsville, we come to the junction with the Tuscaroras Railroad, » branch of this on which we are Wwaveling. Its length fs 34 miles, and it traverses a portion of the State celebrated for fine agricultural lands and unsurpassed mineral—iron and coal resources. WwW. D. W—x. ee , Carrure oF 4 StaveRn.—Lieut.
