Correspondence.
ON BOARD STEAMER meuu CITY,
On the Black Sea, bound for Constan- }
tiuople, August 291b, 1867.
DEAR GAZETTE z—Ilerliaps a brief descrip
tion of‘our jaunfings since we left the dear
old town of Norwalk, might be interesting
to seine of our friends. With all due allow-
ance for the tiugraeefiilness of my clumsy
pen, I would like you to know that we are
still in existence, and thoroughly enjoying
the beauties and glories of foreign travel.
We left Norwalk on the morning of June
811i, Arriving at New York we joined some
sixty-five or seventy American passengers,
on board the beautiful and subtuntial Steam-
er Quaker City. We took our course across
the Atlantic, bid, the Azore Islands; made a
short stop at Fayal, where we called on the
Anieiicm Consul, who is a fine old gentle-
man, who was much pleased to see so many
of his ebuntrymen. Asaertaining that we
had on heard several elergymcu, he‘informed
its thiit there were two of his 01 ndsthat had
been waiting several months to be united in
matrimony, according to‘ the rites of the
Church of England, and after consulting with
them, they selected the Rev. E. C. Hutchin-
son, D. D., of St. Louis, to ofiiciate, and at
the appointed llOlll','Ill the precinct: ot a few
friends, they were pronounced man and wife.
With our best wishes, 'we left the happy
couple and proceeded onour way to Gibral-
tar, where we remained a sufficient time to
examine the fortifications, which are Well
worthy of a. visit, a description of which
would occupy to much of your space. From
thence we sailed to Marseilles, where we left
the Steamer, going to Paris by Rail Road;
spent a few daysvisitlng the Palaces,Chuchz-s,
Gardens, Parks, Exposition and many other
places of interest, then took our'fjffirney to
Geneva, where we had a-finc view of Mount.
Blane; visited the chateau and grounds of
Baron Adolphe Rothcliilds, the tomb of Vol-
tair,_and other placééjgf interest, bathed in
the river Rhone,and,shiled on Lake Lehman,
from thence took' Steamer to Villcnueve;
Rail Road to Sinn, then dilligcnco over the
Alps by the Simplon Pass. The scenery of
this Pass is grand and romantic, snow being
in sight most of the time, and when we
reached the summit of the Pass, it was close
by the road-side, and sensor the party took
the opportunity of making snow balls in J u-
ly. During most of the journey over the
mountains, except when near the top, there
were wild flowers by the way side. Arriv-
ing at Arena, we took railroad for Crime,
in Italy, and there visited some of the ting
palaces for which this city is noted, rejoined
the Steamer at this place and proceeded to
Leghorn, and after a sufficient time to‘look
about,again left the Steamer. Stopped at Pisa
to examine the Leaning Tower, Cathedral,
Bapistry Compo Sarto. Next stopping at
Lucca, remaining several days to enjoy the
celebrated baths andtlie wild scenery of the
place, then resumed our journey until we
reached Florence, visiting the palaces,
churches, galleries, tle house of Michael An-
gelo and other placesof interest. Next stop-
ping at Rome, visitedthe celebrated churches
of St. Peter's and ShPaul's, (there being 364
churches in this city,lind not the inclination
or time to devote to visiting all,) the Forum
Romanium, the mini of the Temple of Con-
cord, Saturn, palace of the Ccasars, Colosse-
um, Basilica of Conshntine, do, next on the
Palentine Hill, the nius of which are now
being excavated, visiltd the Vatican, (which
is the winter residenci of“ the Pope, and con-
tnins the most valuabh and complete gallery
of sculpture in the weld, besides a large col-
lection of antiquities, also embraces the man-
ufacture of mosaics). After devoting as.
much time as we could sparc in this city of
churches and ruins, [roceeded to Naples;
from there spent one (by in going to and vis-
iting the ruins of Pompeii._ Accompanied
by a guide, we strolled hrough the well pav-
ed streets, in and out the ruins of the houses,
,tlieatres, baths, temple, &.c., occupied by
people that have been (end over 1800 years.
This place was purtidly destroyed by an
earthquake, and afterwa‘ds buried by ashes
and 'other volcanic mattlr from Mount Vesu-
vius, and thus remained some 1700 years;
about 100 years since, exnvations were com-
mcnced and are still in progress. Another
,day was spent going and making the ascen-
sion of Vesuvius. Front liaples we proceed-
ed by railroad to Porticifitlicn mounted on
horseback, commenced glpdually to ascend,
passing by cultivated field; and vineyards.
occasionally crossing streims or old lava,
which becomes more and iliore frequent, un-
til nothing else is seen Except large .fields of
lava,which we rode slowly over by a winding
path, most of the way not wide enough for
more than one horse at a time; after a ride
of about three hours, we dismounted, pur-
took of refreshments bipuglit with us, and
. then slowly commenced the ascent, which is
it 'o‘ok’ns nearly an hour,
at an angle of 45°;
to accomplish. When on the summit, which
is of irregular form and surface, being about
audio and fl halt in tircninfcrancc, we
had a fine view of the Mediterran-
ean Sea, the city of Naples and adjoining
places, as far as the as the eye could sean.
Then we went to the centre of the summit
and descended to the eruption, which proba-
bly covers a space of about two acres ;
smoke is issuing at difei‘ent places; largo
crevices are to be leaped across, and the
fumes are so strong that the passage has to
'be made in haste. We ignited paper by env-
ciing it with ashes, and intended cooking
some eggs, but broke them all in making the
ascent. We made the descent in eight min-
utes, arriving where we left our horses, and
returned by the snine path.
While at Naples we visited the Museo In-
ternational, which contains many objects of
interest, including the valuable relics from
the excavations, made at Herculuneum and
Pompeii. At Naples we again rejoined the
Steamer, which had been put into quarantine
for seven days, then proceeded to Athens, in-
tending to visit. the ruins of the place rind to
stand on Mars Hill, where the Apostle Paul
stood when he addressed tlieineii of Athens.
but the authorities decided we must go into
quaranline for five days hcf'oie landing. But
as we could see those places from the ship,
(also saw on the quarantine grouped some
1000 of the women and children, refugees
from Crete, living in tents), We decided not
to stay the five days, took our departure and
9nd see.
' ll
lio, Mosque of St. Sophia, Bazaars, &c., and
sailed for Sebastopol, where we examined
the battle-fields, fortifications and ruins of
the place, then proceeded to Odessa. While
there the Governor General invited us to via-
it the Emperor. He telegraphed to him, and
obtained his permission. The American
Consul, Hon. Timothy C. Smith, accompan-
ied us and we started for Yalta, the summer
residence of the Czar. Upon our arrival We
sent a. committee to wait on the Governor
General, regarding our visit to Emperor; he
suggested we should sen-.1 a delegation of ten
from our number, to visit the Emperor, but.
he would first consult him as to his wishes.
He did so', and the Emperor invited the whole
number of passengers to call on him the fol-
lowing day at 12 o'clock. The next morning
at 10 o’clock the boats belonging to the Empe-
ror's yacht, manned by 16 men each, came to
found carriages_.uud' saddle [horses in readi-
ucss for us, with a guide mounted on horse-
back. 'I‘hc Palace is about three miles dis-
tant. After we had proceeded about a mile,
we were met by a person on horseback, who
was no other than the Emperor's brother,
Michael, the Grand Duke. We did not
know- who he was at the time; he rode side
by side with us, first with one company then
with another, and so on through the whole
party, until we arrived at the palace grounds.
After walking though the gardens, we were
conducted to the palace, where we formed
ourselves in a circle, in front of the building,
when the Emperor and Empress, and child-
ren, entertd. Our Consul, Mr. Smith, then
approached the Emperor, and read the fol-
lowing address :— -
“To Hrs hummer. M AJE'sTY,
ALEXANDER II, EMPEROR or RUSSIA :—
Wc are a handful Of piiVatc citizens of the
United States, traveling simply for recrea-
tion, and unostentatiously, as becomes our
unofi'lcial state, and therefore we have no ex-
cuse to tender for presenting ourselves before
your Majesty, save the desire of offering our
grateful acknowledgem . t to the Lord of a
realm which. through through evil
report, has been the st; ’1" friend of the
land we love so well. ould not pre-"
some to take a step like this, did we not
know well that the words we utter here, and
the sentiments wherewith they are freighted
are but the reflex of the thoughts and feel-
ings of all of our countrymen, from the green
hills of New En landio the sno\vy peaks of
the far Pacific. e are few in number, but
we utter the voice of the Nation. One of
the brightest pages that has graced the
world’s history, since its birth, was recorded
by your Majesty's hand, when it loosed the
icans can but esteem it a. priviledge to do
honor to a ruler who has wrought so great
a deed. The lesson that was taught us then,
we have profited by, and we are free, in truth
to say, even as we were before in name.
America owes much to Russia; is indebt-
ed to her in many ways; and chiefly for her
unwavering friendship in seasons of our
greatest need. That, that friendship may
still be limb in time to come we confidently
pray, that she is and will be grateful to Rus-
sia and to her Sovereign for it, we know full
well. That she will ever forfeit itby a pie-
incditated, unjust act, or unfair course, it
would be treason to believe.
Respectfully tendered on behalf of the
Excursionisls on board American Steam
Yacht, Quaker City, Yalta, August 261b,
1867." ‘
Then followed the signatures of the pas-
sengers, giving the residences of each, repre-
senting some twenty States, of the Uu'on.
The Emperor bowed, and thanked its kind-v
ly; the Empress was introduced to each of
the lady passengers. We were then invited
into the Palace, the Emperor and Empress
leading the way, about the bull ling and the
chapel connectad with the Palace; they
then led the way to the reception room,
where, after a few moments of conversation,
he invited us to visit his brother Michael,
and then retired. We soon took the carria-
ges and horses provided for us, and proceed-
ed to the residence of thc‘Grand dee. He
came out to receive us, saying he had seen us
all before, (as ir was him who had accompan-
ied us on horseb:ck,) invited us in and intro-
duced us to the Duchess, we were shown
through his residence, then through his gar-
dens, then invited to the reception and din-
ing rooms and partook of breakfast with the
Grand Duke and his lady, drinking the
health of the Royal ptrty. We soon bid
adieu to the Royal party, and returned to the
ship. On the following day we were visited
by the Ofiieers ol theEmperor‘s Yacht, and
invited on board the yacht, the following day.
We accepted the invitation, and at 10 o'clock
the yacht sent her boats for us, We found
her to be a fine floating palace; we were en-
tertained with refreshments and after spend-
ing some two hours pleasantly. returned to
the Steamer, and in the aftern‘oon, we receiv-
ed on beard of our Steamer the Governor
General, several Barons and Princes, the Ad-
miral of the fleet, General Todtleben, defen-
der of Sebastopol during the Crimean War,
and other officials of the Emperor, to‘wliom
we gave an entertainment in the saloon of
the Steamer, and after giving and receiving
toasts in honor of the Emperor and Empress,
Grand Duke and Duchess, and other mem-
bers of the royal family, the President of the
United States, to the coetinued good will of
Russia and the United States, and to the safe
and pleasant voyage of all the passengers of
the Quaker City,&c., &c., they bid us adieu
about sunset. We at once weighed anchor
and left the harbor, firing guns and making
as good a display of fireworks as our limited
stock would allow, and proceeded on our
'way to Constantinople, which we expect to
reach to-morrow morning, and as soon as we
arrive, I expect to’maii this letter.
We are all wt'll, and have had no sickness
on board (except sea sickness), since we left
New York. E. K. L.
