I improved if by re-visiting the Arena, a gallery of painting and sculpture. In the afternoon I ascended this cathedral and had a magnificent VieW of the vast panorama of snow mountaiits—the Alp* and the Tyrol and the Appentes. I repeated the view again the next morning so as to get the views at different times in the day. T climbed at tfte highest attainable point. I walked in every direction over the roof and wandered amid a forest of piAacler, whose every nieh* was filled with a statue and whose every summit was surmounted with the same. Then I walked all around- the building by sunlight and by moonlight; and there came into ta-f mind Madame D. Staei's difinition of lhie architecture in "frozen music," but I was vaitt enough to think I could make an improvement npon.it, and call it crytializtd mutic. As I looked and looked it seemed as though I were waiting to hear it break ont into some splendid harmony and chorus. I have never seen • building that I have taken leave of with so much regret, but it is so perfectly pictured in my mind that I shall never lose the sight of it.' 1 have once before spoken of the railway station as the finest building of the kind in the world.

There i not only a drive in the centre but also a trac' for horseback rfders and another for pedestr ans.

There were but few penons on the train. I saw not one familiar face, and had an entire car to myself. It was a good time for meditation, after the busy scenes of the great city, and I enjoyed it Besides it was an entirely new route, and the scenery was worth looking at. At intervals we passed villages perched upon the tops of hills. Almost all of them aro built in this way, whether for health or for greater safety, I could hardly guess, though, I rather suppose the latter. At throe o'clock wo reched Folique, and now the comfortable cars must be left, and the diligence taken. It was my first experience of this mode of riding, once so common throughout Europe, but not so comfortable as our former stage coaches.— there aro two compartments to it—one called the coupe in front, holding two or three persons, and another behind, holding six persons This is something „like our omnibuses with seats on each side, though not as convenient. There is also room for two or three more on the top behind the driver. •r johh a. siii. (gfe 8CHANTON Brass Works. It was in my foreign travel.

And was parted in the middle, In the manner of a girl's, In my last, t gave yon an sccotmt of my Journey from Rome to Florence. I spent two days in' Florence, reviewing some of the scenes that had interested me before, and adding a few others. I had been very much charmed with the two great galleries of paintings whioh aro among the very finest in Europe. I gave you a pretty full account of them, if I remember rightly, and so need only say that I enjoyed very much seeing them again, and looking upon my favorite paintings. Ton remember the saying—"A thing of beauty is a joy forever,' and I realize this more and more. I delight to look again upon things that have interested me beiore. Anything that is really beautiful or grand grows upon you and you enjoy it more *and more as you study it. Some things too, which I had not a good chance to see at first, have improved upon a second visit. Thus it was with the gardens of the palace where the king resides. I went through them once in January, but it was so foggy that I could not see across them or enjoy their beauty. Now I found afino the city and vicinity and I gained a much better idea of tho whole. I happened to be there on one of tho two days in the week when addmission is granted. By threo o'clock I was pretty well tired when I sought rest in my room, and sat down to write th-» letter ty you. The next day I visited two or three of the prominont churches again, the Cathedral and tho church whore Michael Angelo, Galileo, Danto and other great men aro buried, and where fine monuments have been erected to their memory. I also met with some American friends and accompanied them to a museum whioh I had not seen before,where I saw a great many works of art—bronze statuary, ancient armor and coats of mail, with gems and jewels and curiosities too numerous.to mention. The' building was an ancient palace, oalled the Palazza Podesta and was used as a town hall or Hotel de Ville as it is called—bnt now it is kept in good repair as a museum and the public are admitted by paying a franc, or 20 cents each.— I then visited Mr. Power at his studio and found him still.at work—being just engaged upon a G. 33.

It was a cloudy afternoon. After about 12 miles ride, wo stoped at a town to change horses. Soon after dark I was startled by a sudden stop of the diligence, and a loud altercation between our driver and some other person. I began to think the brigands might indeed be upon us, but in a moment wp started again, and on look ing back, I saw a man leading a young heifer by the horns ; she had lain down in tho road, and thus impeded our course. But realy tho people of this region did not look so brigandish as those I saw on my way to Paestum below Naples, and the constant recurrence of horses on the road,reassured me that there was not much danger. At length wo besgn to climb ■ hill, and we kept on climbing until nine o'clock, when we arrived at the old town of Perugia, and we found supper and lodging at one of its hotels. We here ascertained that there were two routes by which we could reach Florence the next day—one leaving at 5 A. M. and the other at 8. We chose the latter, and having secured our seats in the diligence, felt easy for the night. Perugia is an interesting old place, and I regreted I had not time to visit its somewhat remarkable cathedral, and tho gallery which contftins tho paintings of Perugino. The situation of the town is very picturesque, being on the top of this high hill, which we had to climb, and affords a fine view of the country, as I aaw the next morning when I started out in the diligence. It had been raining hard and did not seem inviting even though I had time to stay; bat tho clouds broke away as I left and the sun gleamed out sufficiently to light up the landscape, and show upon the mountains and valleys for a great distance around.

I went to Rotae from hero just eight weeks ago and now I am back again. There is a pleasant sensation in returning and reviewing for a couple of days the things which most interested me. There is a double pleasure in thinking over what I have seen during the intcrval of these eight weeks, and how I have been preserved from dangers in traveling, and from sickness. How much will all this be enhanced if I live to get safely home again across the great ocean I I went to Rome by the way of Leghorn, and by steamboat from thence to Civita, the port of Rome. There were other routes, and I hoped to return by one of them, by way of variety, though all the routes to the " eternal city" are attended by more or less difficulty. The brigands had once robbed the passengers in the dilligence, and this had given me a terror of one of these routes, besides its being very uninteresting and devoid of scenery. While walking with a friend who had been for sometime a resident, I espied a train of cars. We were just without the walls of the oity. I learned that a new road had been very recently opened to Folique, and that it afforded a feasable route to Florence.— I immediately questioned whether I had not better go that way. Upon inquiry I found that another portion of road at the other end of the line had been publicly opened on the 15th inst, and thus there would be but a short distance of travel by dilligence, with a good night's rest upon the way. These things are not published in Italy as freely as they are in our own country, and in the Papel State* it is worse than anywhere else. There is not only the lack ot Yankee enterprise, but there seems to be the studied efforts to make access difficult Itwas a long time before the Pope could get reconciled to railroads and telegraphs.

I saw at his studio an excellent statue of our lamented President Lincoln. He is represented as streaching out his hand over a slave who crouehes before hfm looking up half fearing half hoping, while bis shackles are broken at his feet. I presume it is to be repeated in marble and I hope it will yet grace some of our public buildings at home, There were other works of merit, particularly a bust of Mr. Fverett, which was very fine. I also visited the studio of an Italian sculptor by the name of Romanelu who had been mentioned to me by some American friends. Here I saw a great variety of work someof the most beatftlful little statues I have anywhere met with.— But what excited my curiosity the most was something that appealed to my interest peculiarly as an American and I wondered why none of our own artists had thought if it. It was Washington as a boy,with his hatchet! Asa mate to it there was Ben. Franklin with his whistle! This artist had evidently studied these incidents in history. The lineaments of countenance had been preserved as muoh as possible. They were fine, honest looking boys, dressed in the costume ofthat early time. I wish we could have them both in our country to illustrate to the eye of our youth what we read In history. They were representative men,one of moral worth, and the other of practical wis- AND Cor.

The coun try somewhat resembles portions of our own Pennsylvania—the trees and houses were very different. There are none of our beautiful evergreens. The prevailing trees being the live oak, olive and mulberry. This latter tree i s trained to bear the vine, and its limbs are cut off bo that it grows in the shape of a wine giant, while it is only a wine evp. The houses are of stone, and do not look so neat as our own. Some of the poorer class have no glass windows, but only shutters. The roads are good. Perugia reminded me somewhat -of Montrose, though larger and not as pleasant looking. We climbed another very high hill on our way—with a little town near the top, while upon the very apex was an old, square, stone tower almost in ruin. Similar towers are seen upon many of the hills in Europe.— After crossing the hill, we looked down the other side upon a beautiful lake, which afforded a pleasant variety—and just on its borders we descried our railway station which we soon reached. The station is called Torricella. We could trace the course of the railway for many miles, and it will be completed to Foligno in a few months, making a continuous road from Florence to Rome, and a few hours journey.— As I saw the works progressing along the line, I thought how in my boyhood, I had watched the building of the first railroad out of my native city ; and in late years, since I have lived among you, the first roads running out of our beautiful valley. The reflection gave me hope for Italy. This road is ar. immence work, but it furnishes occupation for thousands of laboring men, and will be a public benefit in many ways. I saw the telegraphic wires, likewise, stretching along the road. There are three elements which make a nation great, the physical, the intellectual and the moral. These elements are all at work in Italy. Brandensburg's Bakery. Dr. G. SPERLING, New Brick, Opposite German Physician and Surgeon, BIG BASIN, PITTSTON, PA. OB I | £.

I« . • .1 11, But I must leave Florence, carrying away what I can of these pleasant impressions to store up for future enjoyment. On Saturday morning I took the cars for Milan, I had traveled the same roud over the Appenines in January in coming from Milan to Florence, but the day was unpropitious for a fine view and I resolved to pass back again by the same route that I might secure if possible a better prospect. It was not entirley clcar,but being in the morning it was sufficiently so to give me a good idea of the granduer of that region. After one hour, we begin to ascend, and then it is a succession of tunnels'and viaducts until we got well over the other side, when we lose sight of the beautiful vale of the ArnO' with its plain ■treaching out towards Leghorn and the Mediterranean and we descend quite rapidly toward Bologna. From thence a few hours ride, on a dull afternoon settling into a steady rain, bring us to Milan again and to my home-like Hotal-"- St. Mark. I left Milan in January beoause of a dull rainy spell with only one fair day to get a view from the Cathedral ; and I had now some fears that I had re-visited the city at an equally unpropitious season.

I improved if by re-visiting the Arena, a gallery of painting and sculpture. In the afternoon I ascended this cathedral and had a magnificent VieW of the vast panorama of snow mountaiits—the Alp* and the Tyrol and the Appentes. I repeated the view again the next morning so as to get the views at different times in the day. T climbed at tfte highest attainable point. I walked in every direction over the roof and wandered amid a forest of piAacler, whose every nieh* was filled with a statue and whose every summit was surmounted with the same. Then I walked all around- the building by sunlight and by moonlight; and there came into ta-f mind Madame D. Staei's difinition of lhie architecture in "frozen music," but I was vaitt enough to think I could make an improvement npon.it, and call it crytializtd mutic. As I looked and looked it seemed as though I were waiting to hear it break ont into some splendid harmony and chorus.

There i not only a drive in the centre but also a trac' for horseback rfders and another for pedestr ans.

There were but few penons on the train. I saw not one familiar face, and had an entire car to myself. It was a good time for meditation, after the busy scenes of the great city, and I enjoyed it Besides it was an entirely new route, and the scenery was worth looking at. At intervals we passed villages perched upon the tops of hills. Almost all of them aro built in this way, whether for health or for greater safety, I could hardly guess, though, I rather suppose the latter. At throe o'clock wo reched Folique, and now the comfortable cars must be left, and the diligence taken. It was my first experience of this mode of riding, once so common throughout Europe, but not so comfortable as our former stage coaches.— there aro two compartments to it—one called the coupe in front, holding two or three persons, and another behind, holding six persons This is something „like our omnibuses with seats on each side, though not as convenient. There is also room for two or three more on the top behind the driver. •r johh a. siii. (gfe 8CHANTON Brass Works. It was in my foreign travel.

And was parted in the middle, In the manner of a girl's, In my last, t gave yon an sccotmt of my Journey from Rome to Florence. I spent two days in' Florence, reviewing some of the scenes that had interested me before, and adding a few others. I had been very much charmed with the two great galleries of paintings whioh aro among the very finest in Europe. I gave you a pretty full account of them, if I remember rightly, and so need only say that I enjoyed very much seeing them again, and looking upon my favorite paintings. Ton remember the saying—"A thing of beauty is a joy forever,' and I realize this more and more. I delight to look again upon things that have interested me beiore. Anything that is really beautiful or grand grows upon you and you enjoy it more *and more as you study it. Some things too, which I had not a good chance to see at first, have improved upon a second visit. Thus it was with the gardens of the palace where the king resides. I went through them once in January, but it was so foggy that I could not see across them or enjoy their beauty. Now I found afino the city and vicinity and I gained a much better idea of tho whole. I happened to be there on one of tho two days in the week when addmission is granted. By threo o'clock I was pretty well tired when I sought rest in my room, and sat down to write th-» letter ty you. The next day I visited two or three of the prominont churches again, the Cathedral and tho church whore Michael Angelo, Galileo, Danto and other great men aro buried, and where fine monuments have been erected to their memory. I also met with some American friends and accompanied them to a museum whioh I had not seen before,where I saw a great many works of art—bronze statuary, ancient armor and coats of mail, with gems and jewels and curiosities too numerous.to mention. The' building was an ancient palace, oalled the Palazza Podesta and was used as a town hall or Hotel de Ville as it is called—bnt now it is kept in good repair as a museum and the public are admitted by paying a franc, or 20 cents each.— I then visited Mr. Power at his studio and found him still.at work—being just engaged upon a G. 33.

It was a cloudy afternoon. After about 12 miles ride, wo stoped at a town to change horses. Soon after dark I was startled by a sudden stop of the diligence, and a loud altercation between our driver and some other person. I began to think the brigands might indeed be upon us, but in a moment wp started again, and on look ing back, I saw a man leading a young heifer by the horns ; she had lain down in tho road, and thus impeded our course. But realy tho people of this region did not look so brigandish as those I saw on my way to Paestum below Naples, and the constant recurrence of horses on the road,reassured me that there was not much danger. At length wo besgn to climb ■ hill, and we kept on climbing until nine o'clock, when we arrived at the old town of Perugia, and we found supper and lodging at one of its hotels. We here ascertained that there were two routes by which we could reach Florence the next day—one leaving at 5 A. M. and the other at 8. We chose the latter, and having secured our seats in the diligence, felt easy for the night. Perugia is an interesting old place, and I regreted I had not time to visit its somewhat remarkable cathedral, and tho gallery which contftins tho paintings of Perugino. The situation of the town is very picturesque, being on the top of this high hill, which we had to climb, and affords a fine view of the country, as I aaw the next morning when I started out in the diligence. It had been raining hard and did not seem inviting even though I had time to stay; bat tho clouds broke away as I left and the sun gleamed out sufficiently to light up the landscape, and show upon the mountains and valleys for a great distance around.

I went to Rotae from hero just eight weeks ago and now I am back again. There is a pleasant sensation in returning and reviewing for a couple of days the things which most interested me. There is a double pleasure in thinking over what I have seen during the intcrval of these eight weeks, and how I have been preserved from dangers in traveling, and from sickness. How much will all this be enhanced if I live to get safely home again across the great ocean I I went to Rome by the way of Leghorn, and by steamboat from thence to Civita, the port of Rome. There were other routes, and I hoped to return by one of them, by way of variety, though all the routes to the " eternal city" are attended by more or less difficulty. The brigands had once robbed the passengers in the dilligence, and this had given me a terror of one of these routes, besides its being very uninteresting and devoid of scenery. While walking with a friend who had been for sometime a resident, I espied a train of cars. We were just without the walls of the oity. I learned that a new road had been very recently opened to Folique, and that it afforded a feasable route to Florence.— I immediately questioned whether I had not better go that way. Upon inquiry I found that another portion of road at the other end of the line had been publicly opened on the 15th inst, and thus there would be but a short distance of travel by dilligence, with a good night's rest upon the way. These things are not published in Italy as freely as they are in our own country, and in the Papel State* it is worse than anywhere else.

I saw at his studio an excellent statue of our lamented President Lincoln. He is represented as streaching out his hand over a slave who crouehes before hfm looking up half fearing half hoping, while bis shackles are broken at his feet. I presume it is to be repeated in marble and I hope it will yet grace some of our public buildings at home, There were other works of merit, particularly a bust of Mr. Fverett, which was very fine. I also visited the studio of an Italian sculptor by the name of Romanelu who had been mentioned to me by some American friends. Here I saw a great variety of work someof the most beatftlful little statues I have anywhere met with.— But what excited my curiosity the most was something that appealed to my interest peculiarly as an American and I wondered why none of our own artists had thought if it. It was Washington as a boy,with his hatchet! Asa mate to it there was Ben. Franklin with his whistle! This artist had evidently studied these incidents in history. The lineaments of countenance had been preserved as muoh as possible. They were fine, honest looking boys, dressed in the costume ofthat early time. I wish we could have them both in our country to illustrate to the eye of our youth what we read In history. They were representative men,one of moral worth, and the other of practical wis- AND Cor.

The coun try somewhat resembles portions of our own Pennsylvania—the trees and houses were very different. There are none of our beautiful evergreens. The prevailing trees being the live oak, olive and mulberry. This latter tree i s trained to bear the vine, and its limbs are cut off bo that it grows in the shape of a wine giant, while it is only a wine evp. The houses are of stone, and do not look so neat as our own. Some of the poorer class have no glass windows, but only shutters. The roads are good. Perugia reminded me somewhat -of Montrose, though larger and not as pleasant looking. We climbed another very high hill on our way—with a little town near the top, while upon the very apex was an old, square, stone tower almost in ruin. Similar towers are seen upon many of the hills in Europe.— After crossing the hill, we looked down the other side upon a beautiful lake, which afforded a pleasant variety—and just on its borders we descried our railway station which we soon reached. The station is called Torricella. We could trace the course of the railway for many miles, and it will be completed to Foligno in a few months, making a continuous road from Florence to Rome, and a few hours journey.— As I saw the works progressing along the line, I thought how in my boyhood, I had watched the building of the first railroad out of my native city ; and in late years, since I have lived among you, the first roads running out of our beautiful valley. The reflection gave me hope for Italy. This road is ar. immence work, but it furnishes occupation for thousands of laboring men, and will be a public benefit in many ways. I saw the telegraphic wires, likewise, stretching along the road. There are three elements which make a nation great, the physical, the intellectual and the moral. These elements are all at work in Italy. Brandensburg's Bakery. Dr. G. SPERLING, New Brick, Opposite German Physician and Surgeon, BIG BASIN, PITTSTON, PA. OB I | £.

I« . • .1 11, But I must leave Florence, carrying away what I can of these pleasant impressions to store up for future enjoyment. On Saturday morning I took the cars for Milan, I had traveled the same roud over the Appenines in January in coming from Milan to Florence, but the day was unpropitious for a fine view and I resolved to pass back again by the same route that I might secure if possible a better prospect. It was not entirley clcar,but being in the morning it was sufficiently so to give me a good idea of the granduer of that region. After one hour, we begin to ascend, and then it is a succession of tunnels'and viaducts until we got well over the other side, when we lose sight of the beautiful vale of the ArnO' with its plain ■treaching out towards Leghorn and the Mediterranean and we descend quite rapidly toward Bologna. From thence a few hours ride, on a dull afternoon settling into a steady rain, bring us to Milan again and to my home-like Hotal-"- St. Mark. I left Milan in January beoause of a dull rainy spell with only one fair day to get a view from the Cathedral ; and I had now some fears that I had re-visited the city at an equally unpropitious season. But Sunday morning came fair and bright, and the bells (for whioh Milan is famous) chimed out thoir merry * peals in keeping with the day. I enjoyed tho service at the English church and made the acquaintance of the friendly chaplain. It was a small church compared With our own and was given by King Victor Emmanuel.

JOSEPH SCUHEMAN, Proprietor, On Tuesday morning, March 20th, I took an early start, getting my breakfast' before daylight, and taking the cars at six o'clock, or about sunrise. Ah I went out I had a chance to see, very briefly, some of the localities which had most struck ma on my visit I passed by the remains of the baths of Diocletian noar the station, and saw here and there a famitiar church. I could just gat a glimpse of the walls of the old Colosseum, and beyond that, the dome of St Peter's rising above the whole. This was the last picture which"enabled me to identify Rome for sometime after I had left the long line of aqueduct's and was stretching over the compagna towards the neighboring hills. For some distance the road follows the valley of the Tiber. It passes near the falls of Terni and goes through a wild, narrow pass in the hills, where the rocks look more rough and craggy than is the scenery on our Lehigh. Onco more I had my passport ttized,na it is termed,before I could leave Rome. It was taken from me before entering the cart, but delitered at the frontier or borders of the kingdom of Italy.
