DEAR Gszsrrn. My last letter left me in Sepia Fe, ifI remember rightly. Santa Fe is l1 very old city, I believe the oldest in the United States, it having been an’ Aztec pueblo for centuries,'before it was occupied by the Spaniards, which was in 1560. Few travelers on viewing its humble looking adobe bililt rows of dwellings mostly one story high, its narrow streets, unlightcd at night, undraiued at all times,with exception of several churches, no public buildings, would suppose the city possessed a history as interesting and dramatic perhaps as any in America. Aside from its ancient history as an Aztec pueblo,over which the imaginationh as full play, in 1670 it was the seat of a bloody war between the Pueblos and the Spaniards, the Pueblos putting the Spaniards to flight and sucking the city. Fourteen years later the Spaniards re-took the place, driving out and massacreing the Pueblos. In 1837 the people of Texas and the Northern counties of New Mexico rose against the administration of Peroz, and hurling him from power, kill- ed him in 1846. The city aswell as the rest of New Mexico was captured by, and incor- porated within the United Siaies.’ Santa Fe exists in the minds of most of the adult people of the States, as the place where trains crossing the southern plains rested and refitted on their long and weary marches. The names of Kit Carson, F. T. Aubucry, Robert Bent, St Vram, Beau- bion, Maxwell, and a host of others of those hardy pioneers who have placed their names in honorable security in American history, are associated in our memories with Santa Fe. Since the war hero three years ago, the army has built new and comfortable quar- ters for the department headquarters,a is cost of about fifty thousand dollars. There have been no other notable public improvements. BishopLanney, the ruling prelate of the R0- man Catholic Church here, is bililding a new Cathedral which promises to be quite a handsome structure. I attended nine o’clock mass at the old church the Sunday morning I was there. The people were neatly dress- ed and very devout. The more I see of the people of New Mexico, the more I respect them. The spirit and refinement of the old Castiiian is still observable in their manners and intercourse with you, and though the majority are very poor, their cheerfulness and patience under many discouragements, is commendable. Bishop Lanney has the reputation of being a pure minded, earnest efiicient prclate, who has effected many re- forms in his church. Like many earnest men believing that salvation is only in his own church and through its interpretations of the gospel only he is Said to be somewhat illiberal but otherwise he is much praised. Until the lastlhree months when an Episco- pal ehurcli has been organized, the Presby- terian Board has'had the only protestant church, in Santa Fe. This Society has em- ployed the Rev. Mr. McFarland in charge of its mission. He has a fine field for labor, and has done considerable with it. His ex- cellent lady has contributed largely to the success of the mission in supervising a school for young people and by admirable tact and energy aiding her husband in his duties. The Episcopal church are expecting a pas- to‘r this Week. The ofiicers of the army here, he at Fort Union and Leavenworth, were very cordial and oriented me every facility to make my mission to the Indian country a success. \ The usual amount of dog barking and noise which attends the departure of a coach which leaves but once a week, greeted our departure. The “Burro” (Jack ass,) with transportation, and without which one hard- ly secs how he would exist, tumbled their back loads of buy, or kindling wood, out of way, as"‘Saudy” our J ehu cracked his whip and whirled the great coach out of the nar- row streets and crooked lanes of Santa Fe, like the Campagne at Rome, in a golden haze; before us rose the San Del Mountains like a giant clothed in a purple veil and be. bind us the Rocky Mountains, usually snow, capped, but this morning ragged with pines and bold rock vapored with blue. We pass- ed several old churches built of adobe, up an abrupt mass of volcanic lava, up which we were all called upon to walk, through a sandy gorge on the brow of which was sev-: eral heaps of stones, surmounted with wood- en crosses marking the place where people had met with violent death, probably by In- dians. The descent from this “mean" (ele- vated level plain) at Collins Ranchero is re- markable; a good wagon road has been made by some government troops stationed here, around the lofty bluii‘ from which an extensive view is bad of the valley below. The Rio Grande is plainly seen far off at the Southwest, marked by its more luxuriant vegetation. Aside from this green valley, the aspect of the country is barren to an eye accustomed to the green fields of the States. The citron hue ofthe grasses, and the sandy soil interspersed with masses of volcanic rock, whitewashed in spots by the weather, give the scene a wild unattractive look com- mon to nearly all the western country south from New Mexico, North to the British Po- the east to the Sierra Nevada on the west. It is varied in places by the presence or ab- sence of Soda and other Alkali. The high mountains covered with trees, the hills and prairies covered with an infinite variety of grasses, Sage brush, Soup weed, Spanish Bayonet or Date], and a thousand other herbs and flowers. In the midst of a brown and sun-burnt landscape like this, the appearance ofa yel- low and muddy river, or better still a clear mountain a‘lream with its banks fringed with green, creates an amount of delight that an eastern man would never have sup- posed himsclt capable of at such a sight. The fact is in New Mexico and Arizona, it is water only which possesses any value, land is so plentiful, useless without water, all the inquiry is for water, not loud. VINCENT Comma. Plant Herons—Cut Down Trees. . Somebody is crying Out to “plant trees.” Godd, plant two trees for every one that ydu cut dewn, but still cut down trees. Cut down those that are dead. Cut down the old useless fruit tree ; when they cease to bear. “They cumber the ground," we have Scripture for that. They are a nurse- ry for moths, slugs, curculios, and all sorts of enemies to fruit. They eat up the food of the soil, they are no good and much harm, cut them down; Above all cut down the trees that are about your houses. When they are small they are pleasant ; as they grow larger, before you think of it they grow dark and thick and keep out the bles- sed sunlight from our houses. I tried it, we were dark and gloomy; I did not know what ailecl us. The rooms seemed damp, the family were not as well. What was the matter-.9 My doctor was a bright and cheery man, and when I particularlyseut for him when some one was really sick, he laughed. “What shall we do, doctor.” “Well, an axe or perhaps a saw will do. You have too much shade, these grounds are damp. the house is damp. Cut down your trees 1” ' Icould almost as soon have lost a leg or ' an am, but when I went outside and looked at them, as if it were another man’s house I said that my doctor was right. And the trees came down. The sun now shines up- on us, the air circulates. We can “see out." There is a shady grove a little way oil‘— on all sides, but the house stands out in the sun-light. The blessed sun comes in at the windows. It may be rather hot for some few hot days- in the summer, but then we close the blinds. For the rest of the year in a climate like ours, the daylight is best. My children are better, I don’t have as many aches and pains myself, and as for my wife, who is kept much at home, she is brighter and more cheery ; I guess she is happier. Those trees were very discouraging ofa dark day, and in the fall or a wet day, it Was dismal. I look around at my neighbors and when I see them all grown up to tree‘ad shrube- ry,"I pity them ;‘ and when they talk ofdys- pepsin, and neuralgia and rheumatism, and other hings with long names, I want to tell them,“Cut down yonratrees, Cut down your trees.” NATHAN -————_————___:.

Sunday-sumo! Missionary Work in a Single County. The Sunday-school'connected with the Colle iate Church, corner of Fifth avenue and wenty-ninth street, New York, con- tributes four hundred dollars a year for the support of a missionary of the American Sunday-school Union,laboring in this State. In a recent letter he says ; “When I com- menced my labors in this country, a year and a halfago, of the twenty-eight thousand children ,only ten thousand were in Sunday- schools. Some whole towns were almost entirel destitute of such religious privill- ges. it one town only forty of six hun- dred children were in Sunday-schools. Very few of the remainder received any re— ligious instruction whatever. I have found entire districts without one praying man or woman. One young woman,morc than twen- ty years old, told me at one of my meetings it was the only religious meeting she had ever attended. I have often told the story of the cross to children who never heard it before. They are all anxious loknow more about Jesus.’ ’ i trust I have already reached about eight thousand children in this country. The town in which I am writing has seven school-districts. Now there is a school in every district, and almost all the children are reached. In one district, where I or- ganizedaSunday-school with sixty schol- ars,fcrty-one have madeu profession of religion. No commlmiiy isso hardened as not to wish-for a Sunday-school. Would that there were many other like that school of the Collegiate Church. An incident in relation to the marvelous growth of the west in population is given by an Illinois paper, in a series of sketches of the early history of that state. It states “that in 1836 three gentlemen rode for three days to find filly legal voters in w now comprises Kane, DeKaib, and one tier of towns in Kendall county. camping out two nights during the trip. The county of Kane was about being organized, and it had to be shown that the territory (thirty-six miles square) had fifty legal voters residing in it in order to effect the desired object. They found in three days fifty-three voters. To- day the same territory has at least 70,000 The great plain, in the center of which the ' town is located, was spread out before us, ssessions, and from the Rocky Mountains on 1 . ”Form mu." PLATTEKILL FALLSHOTEL, sspt 7, 1871. The Catlskill mohntains, are an“‘oft told tale,” but I will venture to tell the story over again. Without objectionable spread- eagleism we may truly say that. throughout our whole territory nature forms a variety of attractions for greater than can be found in any other country on the globe, but in no state are these more numerous, or varied: or grand or beautiful than in the State of New York ; limlike in its attributes As sure- ly as in its geographical configuration that noble State affords no wider treasure for its sons and daughters than its magnificent mountain ranges ; among which the Cats- kills are justly celebrated as the most beaut- iful in mountain and most sublime inexten- ded valley scenery. In modern times we are for advanced beyond the ancients in the elevation of the masses, and in ON: favored country especially, opporthnity to gain wil. dom is offered to the most lowly. Allend- ance upon universities, thongh the oldest and- most respected seats of learning is no longer indispensable for the possession, of ' an up- right, intelligent and high-minded manhood. he pulpit and particularly the press, both of which distinguish us from the ancients, are now the most powerful human agencies for its accomplishment, But in the silent influences of mountain scenery now more than ever open to all, the Creator has fur- nished the earnest seeker means of reading the heights of a refined, pure, courageous .huinaniiv. The patriotic statesman cannot desire any more appropriate means for Ebrluging out the lofiicst and broadest char- acter than that furnished by mountains. The world’s history demonstrates ' how ef- fective those influences have proved with the inhabitants of elevated regions. There can be developed not alone the endurance of Spartan youth but those other elements already mentioned which are far more valu- able. We should not undervalue the brave- ry shown by English youth and England’s renowned men of science, Lyndall and Hux- Inobie uses to which such training may easi- l y lead. Having spent a few days at a new resort in these mountains and not induced by any mercenary considerations but by pleasant recollections and for friendship's sake, I take the liberty of directing attention ,to its advantages. Its name,the Plattekill Falls Hotel, will tell a long story to the fa- vored frequenters of these eminences; to others we will say that it is situated in the. very choicest location in the Plaitekill Clove. and that this clove is conceded to be the grandest feature of these mountains. The house at the very head of the clove, can be readily seen from the river, and at almost any stage of the progress up the mountains ; and its view of the valley narrowed indeed by the mountains guarding the cloveisvery beautiful while its clove scenery including the procession of the clouds up the clove is unsurpassed. Nor is this all, it commands within easy reach all the great objects of interest in the Catskills. Ifcvidence of the assertion he demanded, no sooner is it ask-1 ed than given, The Summit of High Peak is within 2% miles; Look 03 and Huckleberry points which are said to be the most easterly peaks—the advance guards— withiu 1% miles, the road turning into Stony clove is 5 miles off ; while the Plattekill clove can be entered upon by going down the stairs within a hundred yards. Ifyourlimita will admit, a description of the attractions alrea- dy noted will be attempted. - ' HIGH PEAK. . Thursday, Aug. 25th at 10 a.) to. lawn!!! company of four adventurous youngmen on the way to'lhe taking of this dreaded fast- ness. At first we travelled a stony and um- brngcous road which leads past the castle of Baron L. the notable features of which are its French roof built from the ground of logs, and clinked with mud, and its tower- ing stone chimney. From this we branched oil over meadows not to be lobked for in this presence toward the south flank of High Peak, which rose abruptly a mile away. The last habitation, Mr. H’sJog cabin, af- forded a young guide, who contributed greatly to our speedy success. The last was the most exciting part of our ascent, when we literally scaled the Peek’s steep- est side; so steepihe whole wa that we found it necessary to use our ban 3 almost as frequently as ourfeet. It would be aim. cult to conceive of a peak at all accessible, rising more abruptly than does this moun— tain on its southern side for full five hun~ (1er feet above what our guide called its foot. When nearly up he amused us by loosening stones and showing how easy it was to cast them hundreds of feet below. Many a time the, breaking of some rotten branch reminded us how short a step there ofleu is between us and the Last Departure. But the ascent completed entire satisfaction crowned all our toils. Mountain tourists have been deterred from attempting High Peak by the report that its forests success- fully dcfy all efforts to Obtain the splendid prospect its lofty height promises ; but that is not true. Three different localities fur- nish panoramas which even in valley scen- cry and certainly in mountain views exceed the glorious prospect at the Mountain House. If a description can approach that reality it will be evident that this statement conveys the severest truth. About three hundred yards east from the middle and leftiest part- of the Peak, is a bare spot from which one looks very far down uponvNorth and South Mountains; sees the depression in which we know the Mountain House is situated, the full extent of the Cauderskill Clove from immediately below Mr. Dood’s new residence up the clove westward, and thence northward in its ascent to the Falls and the Laurel House ; and that magnificent sketch of field, woods and river, and beyond, the mountains so familiar to the lover of these eminences. North Mountain, that giant of the Mountain House obstructs not his view; ‘ but what North Mountain cannot do, a splendid snow bank cloud, elevated far above the hotel, effectually does for the dis- tant Green Mountains, only the southern peaks of which can be discerned. Another place adds the- hotel at Haines Falls, the mountain valley and the distant peaks around Jewcit and Windham to the view: This location is in the line of the well walk~ ed path leading up the gentle slope of the mountai! 131 its northern side; but what the tourist gains in a more easy grade islost in the very much greater height to be climb- ed above the table-laud. The third point faces towards the south, and shows the dis- - taut Overlook on its lofty summit in a di- rect line with our own temporary mountain ' home, the- river, the Highlands and w... Point, the Shawangunk range and the south- ern part of the same varied valley scene. A suggestion from one of our party 'receiv'ed with favor, I here venture' to mention—that ' the one thing needful to. make this the fa- vorite spot for nature’s worshippers is a tow- , or about filly feet high on the top of. this - ed by the government as a signal station ; it would disclose a long, wide, magnificent stretch of cultivated countryand of fatty mountains, such as has never been spread- out before the eyes of mortal man since the miraculous view of Moses from Mount N ebo. ‘ (Concluded most work.)
