The News by the Baltic. 
’The Baltic’s news is of much interest. Al¬ 
though no great or decisive battle has been 
fought in the interim, the success of the allies 
is in many respects yery decisive, and seems 
to indicate the ultimate capture of Sebastopol. 
The storming of the Mamelon and the for- 
tressee of the Careening Bay, previously an¬ 
nounced, and above all the sweeping from 
the sea of Azof! of the Russian power, are 
blows that must tell decisively upon the 
chances of the w r ar. The destruction of an 
immense amount of Russian stores, sufficient, 
it is stated, to supply an army of 100,000 men 
four months, and the loss of 250 merchant 
vessels engaged in carrying these supplies to 
Russians in the Crimea, will be likely to bring 
famine into the besieged fortress. Another 
important advantage of the allies, is the 
abandonment by the Russians of the fortress 
of Anapa. This strong fortress is situated on 
the Black Sea near the straits leading into the 
Sea of Azoff. It is the key to the Circassian 
oountry, and its capture effectually overthrows 
the power of the Russians to overcome and 
annoy that brave people. Supplies of arms 
and ammunition can now be furnished them 
by the allies, the prestige of Russian invinci¬ 
bility is broken, and their advance of empire 
in that direction stayed indefinitely. 
We may reasonably look, however, for an¬ 
other enemy, both to the Russians and the 
allies more terrible than the sword, to com¬ 
mence its ravages ere long, and that is disease. 
The weather is intensely hot, and the loose, 
thin soil of the Crimea is festering even now 
with the half-buried dead. When we consid¬ 
er how fiercely the cholera, fever, and other 
kindred terrors, assault even peaceful commu¬ 
nities, with all the sanitary and medical fa¬ 
cilities at hand, what may we look for in a 
crowded camp of ill fed, ill-housed soldiers, 
exposed to every kind of hardship, labor, and 
peril? The Bhaits of Apollo were not more 
destructive to the Greeks in olden time at the 
siege of Troy, than the same fierce missiles 
will be now. The poetical accompaniments 
are removed, however, and the cause will be 
uno’erstood to be the rays of a burning sun, 
instead of the winged shafts of an enraged 
divinity.

Summer Weather. 
The weather was extremely warm during 
the latter part of last week. The sun shone 
intensely hot, especially on Friday and Satur¬ 
day, and the thermometer stood as high as 
96° in the shade. The sky wa3 partially ob¬ 
scured by clouds on Sunday, and some rain 
fe]J, accompanied with thunder and lightning, 
which partially mitigated the heat, and the 
next morning the weather was cool and plea¬ 
sant. Previous heavy rains had saturated the 
ground, and prepared the roots of plants to 
take up the nutriment in the soil; and all 
vegetable life, (including weeds as well as 
crops,) is now making a very rapid growth. 
Hay is in many places nearly fit to cut, aed 
wheat will speedily be ripe for the harvest 
That it may Ini a plentiful one is the devout 
wish of every human heart. 
Perilous Adventure. 
Last week Friday, a hostler of Geo. Wal- 
bridoe, who keeps a livery stable in this city, 
took a couple of horses into the river to wash 
above Andrews street bridge. The river was 
much swollen by the recent rains, the horses 
soon got beyond their depth, and were swept 
down the stream. As they neared the dam 
just above the railroad bridge, the rider for¬ 
tunately leaped off, and managed to seize hold 
of the stone wall which borders the stream ; 
but the horses both went over, and in a few 
moments made the plunge of the falls. One 
of them went head on, took the leap bravely, 
and came out alive. He swam to shore be¬ 
low, and immediately commenced cropping 
the grass on the bank. The other horse, a 
fine animal valued at $500, was drowned. 
The falls are ninety-six feet high, and an im¬ 
mense volume of water was going over them 
at the time. Sam Patch is not alone in his 
glory, for besides the horse, a calf also went 
over this spring and came out alive ; and a 
dog which a boy threw off the railroad bridge 
for the purpose of despatching him, was found 
soon after, at home, on the steps awaiting the 
return of his unfeeling master. 
Eastwood’s Case. 
The execution of the sentence in case of 
Martin Eastwood, who was convicted a few 
weeks since, in this county, of the murder of 
Edward Brereton, and sentenced to be hung 
on Friday of last week, has been stayed, and 
a writ of error granted by Judge Selden. The 
case now goes up to the full bench of the Su¬ 
preme Court, for a hearing on points of law ; 
which, if decided adversely to the prisoner, 
will probably be carried to the Court of last 
resort, viz., the Court of Appeals. The 
grounds taken for allowing the writ are, the 
exclusion of proper evidence, and the exam¬ 
ination, extra judicially, by a part of the jury, 
of the ground where the murder was commit¬ 
ted. Certain members of the jury, it seems, 
out upon a walk under the charge of a cons¬ 
table, went on the ground and examined it 
for themselves to see if the evidence accorded 
with the existing circumstances. It is a novel 
question, and will be likely to prove a leading 
case in the jurisprudence of the State. If the 
Courts sustain the position taken by the pris¬ 
oner’s Counsel, he will be granted a new trial. 
Crops, &c v in the Ohio Valley. 
A person residing in Petersburg, Kentucky, 
writes us under date of June 29th, among oth¬ 
er things os follows : ‘ ‘ We have had a great 
amount of rain here for the past three weeks, 
and vegetation on the Ohio bottom is a perfect 
swamp of top. It has now cleared off dry and 
warm, or hot rather, and the wheat harvest is 
coming in. finely. We have all kinds of veget¬ 
ables now—squashes, potatoes, beans, beets, 
onions, &c., and will have cucumbers in a few 
days. Several men were so overcome with 
heat yesterday, as to be rendered insen¬ 
sible, but I have heard of no deaths as yet.— 
Two coal boatmen at the landing were sun- 
struck. I never saw such a luxuriant growth 
of vegetation ; corn in our garden is fully 
thirteen feet tall, and not yet begun to tassel. 
Fruit promises an abundant yield ; cherries 
are ripe and gone, the peach and apple trees 
are perfectly loaded, and also grapes. Melons 
will probably go begging for somebody to eat 
them, as there are sixty acres planted between 
this place and Suing’s ferry, two and a half 
miles below. ’ ’ 
Railroad Far e. 
The difficulties between the Central and the 
New York & Erie railroads, have resulted in a 
reduction of fare, which took place on the 
former on Monday last. One train from New 
York, and one from Buffalo, daily run at the 
reduced rates, as follows :—From New York 
at 7 o’clock P. M., connecting with the G A. 
M. train from Troy, and the 7:30 A. M. train 
from Albany, going West—and at 6:15 A. M. 
from Buffalo, 6:55 A. M. from Niagara Falls, 
and 7 A. M. from Suspension Bridge, going 
East; connecting with the Hudson River 
railroad train, leaving Albany at 7:45 P. M., 
for New York. 
The fare on this train will be :—To and 
from Dunkirk and New York, by railroad en¬ 
tire distance, $5,85 ; by People’s Line steam¬ 
boats from Albany to New York, $4,60. To 
and from Buffalo, Suspension Bridge and New 
York, by Hudson River Railroad, $5,25 ; by 
People’s Line steamboats, $4.” 
Pioneers of Western New York. —The An¬ 
nual Meeting of the Pioneer Association of 
Western New York, was held in this city on 
Thursday of last week. The attendance was 
much larger than usual, and the re-union of 
gratifying interest to all participants. Many 
of those present settled in the “ Genesee 
Country” when that portion upon which 
Rochester now stands was a wilderness. And 
yet “most of those present, although they 
had passed the prime and vigor of life, ap¬ 
peared hale and strong,—full of that earnest 
and zealous spirit which animated them in 
their youthful days, when battling with rug¬ 
ged nature and subduing the wilderness.” 
Several pioneer matrons were present, some 
of whom related interesting reminiscences of 
the early history of this region of country. 
Altogether the occasion was particularly note¬ 
worthy—eliciting, in narratives and speeches, 
many historical facts of interest and value. 
May the Pioneers long survive to enjoy the 
fruits of their industry and enterprise ! 
Rambles and Records West ward— No. 4. j 
(Prom Our Own Correspondent.] 
Belvidere, El., June, 1855. 
Eds. Rural: —After mailing my last at 
Joliet, I walked from that place north to 
Lockport, four miles. Lockport is a busy 
place, with its large mills, boat yards, twenty 
stores or more, a plow factory, and neat 
dwellings along the bluff in the reaT. It is 
“ improving” decidedly, in the western sense 
of the term—building up and making money. 
Took stage for Plainfield. We climbed the 
bluff west of Fox river and rolled rapidly over 
a plank-road across the prairie—passing thro’ 
a rich and well cultivated district, fine orch¬ 
ards, neat small farm houses, and locust 
groves. A few miles more brought us to a 
grove, church spires were seen beyond, and 
the village of Plainfield was soon reached.— 
Its people are mostly from New England, and 
the neat dwellings, clean yards, and fields 
tilled better than usual, told of thrift and in¬ 
dustry. A hundred houses, with a prairie all 
around, well-settled and beautiful, the Du 
Page river flowing along one side and its clear 
water keeping a mill in motion. I saw a great 
barn by the mill from which over a hundred 
cattle was sold to Chicago last spring. 
Returning after a day’s stop, I took cars on 
the Rock Island Railroad for La Salle, sixty 
miles west — passing near the bluffs on the 
north side of the Illinois, sometimes going 
through walls of rock cut away for the road. 
The flat meadow through which the river 
flows, is a mile or two wide, and bounded 
south by wooded bills. Reaching La Salle, 
and going a half mile to the depot of the Illi¬ 
nois Central Railroad, I shared the common 
lot of travelers through that place,—of being 
poorly served and paying double price therefor. 
It has a population of about 4,00® ; some good 
people there, doubtless, but I never chanced 
to meet them during several visits. At two 
o’clock, we were under way south-ward, and 
soon passed slowly over the great biidge, more 
than half a mile long, stretching across canal, 
valley and river at a height of seventy-five 
feet, and resting on many massive piers, solid 
as the rock, close by, from which they were 
hewn. After crossing we had an upward grade 
for some distance, but were soon on the verge 
of the great central prairie region, and the 
fact that we were a hundred feet or more above 
the river may correct a somewhat common im¬ 
pression, that these prairies are low land.— 
The highest land in the State is said to be 
near BloomiDgton, almost in their centre.— 
As we whirled rapidly on, trees grew scarce, 
until at last we were fairly “ cut of sight of 
land”—far as the eye could reach around notli- 
' ing in sight hut an ocean of green, long un¬ 
dulations of surface, raising and falling in the 
; distance, and the grass waving before the wind 
like water stirred by a breeze. 
It gave one a strange sensation, quite like 
that felt when on the water with no shore in 
sight, and a tree or a house, as it was ap¬ 
proached, was watched with the same interest 
with which one gazes at an island or a ship on 
the lone ocean. There was a sense too of free¬ 
dom, of exuberant, expanding life—as a pas¬ 
senger expressed it, “I feel like a Methodist 
does when he shouts glory in camp meeting. ’ ’ 
i A station house or any object seen, appeared 
1 to be no nearer for several minutes, rapidly 
> as we moved, and when passed receded slow- 
■ ly. HouseB loomed up like ships at sea—vil¬ 
lages are growing up at the depots, and farms 
being improved around. The road will make 
the country rich by opening a market for its 
products. For sixty miles we passed only one 
piece of woodland of any s.ze ; only clumps 
of a few trees, locust groves and young orch¬ 
ards, and were several times where even these 
could not be seen. Reaching Bloomington, 
we passed through the beautiful grove in 
which the town is built, and two or three 
miles of timber beyond, and were again on 
the prairie. Just at dusk we reached Decatur 
—a town of 3,000 people, fifty miles from 
Bloomington — and beyond passed through 
scattered oaks for a short distance. Night 
soon closed in ; passengers at midnight turned 
off on a road west to St. Louis. 
Every ten miles we stopped at a station, 
every hundre.j. miles or so at a large building 
with a dining hall. I could see that timber 
was more frequent. When day dawned the 
soil around was a brown clay, (instead of the 
black loam of the prairies northward,) sand 
knolls now and then, and broken timber land. 
Wc were soon passing through heavy forests, 
and for fifty miles or more, hills and ravines, 
a clearing here and there, an occasional stream 
rather muddy, a steam saw-mill now and then, 
' and great piles of wood at the depots. Low 
bottom lands, with muddy soil, enormous 
i trees, heavy vim s and rank undergrowth were 
soon reached. We were getting south, too, 
changing climate ; corn was larger than yes¬ 
terday,—wheat, and oats more forward. I saw 
several fields of an early kind e>f wheat lying 
bound in sheaves, just cut. Crossing a bridge 
we Rime on to a long embankment, across the 
low bottom liable to inundation, then on to 
the road — timbers raised on heavy upright 
logs resting on great trees, buried deep iu the 
soil. This was passed over slowly, the road 
curved slightly to the left, and we were on the 
: bank of the Ohio, with the Kentucky woods 
' on the opposite side. A broad levee was 
reached ; we stopped, at a large depot, and I 
stepped out on to the platform. A short dis¬ 
tance beyond the Mississippi rolled its great 
flood, meeting the Ohio just below a green 
Island ; the forests and fields across its broad 
waters were in Missouri. G. b. s.
