Springvillk, Brie county, N. Y. August 'J;'., 1852 Having lomo friends residing in this place, I left Buffalo yesterday morning for Ilia purpose of visiting them, and of inking a pocp at this purti m of Now York. Tlio pleasant and nourishing village wliuro I um sojourning is thirty miles south enst of Buffalo and on (he road to Elliciiltvitlo, the capital of Cattaraugus county, and is tho centro of one of the Finest uiul heat cultivated farming counties I have yet soon in Western New York. A plunk road Is laid from Buffalo, through this place, and has dune much to fucilitaie the intercourse with that great western emporium of llio Stale. This rond is laid with hemlock plunk, Bawed about ihree, or four inches thick mid eight fret in length. From tho city souih oast, thru.igh (lie Indian Reservation, ihe road is worn so as to mnko it very rough, unpleasant traveling. Tho plank have bnou down four years and are generally worn from one to two inches deep in tho wagon trucks. In somo places now plunk are being n 'la id, u ml fur several miles tho road needs it. The ground is level, mid generally soft and wet, and I presume the planks have not lasted at long in this position an they will under more fuvnrahle circumstances. But if Iho limber does not last longer than this, the experiment will not be a very profitable one, though to this section it is ouo of the first necessity, as there is no gravid and stone to build a McAdum- ised road, t learned that the building and plunking of roads here cost only about eleven hundred dollart per inilo. This is cheaper than we do lliem in Ohio, But hemlock limber is more abundant and cheaper Irian oak. Whether ours will not last lunger tn make up the difference in expense remains to bo seen As they are still building new mads, it is fair to presume they pay, or ihoy would not make-furtlior investments in them. The country south-east of Buffalo, for ten miles, is mostly new. The timber is pine and hemlock, interspersed with null, elm, maple, &c. It is very heavily timbered. Tho soil will be good when cleared and drained. It now prosonls a new mid rather hard np-pearnuce. At White's cornert the country begins to assume a better nppounmco. Farm houses are largo and painted, and are surrounded with barns, sheds and out-houses, after tho New England model. The land was not so level, and the Holds showed a botk-r state of cultivation. The township of Boston, through which wo passed, is noted for dniry products. Immense quantities of butter and cheese an hero made. The dairy business is now the staple of this region, though considerable quantities o wheat, outs, &c. am raised. I took a ride through some of Iho best fanning neighborhoods near this place, ond must confess was surprised at the beauty of the couutry, and tlm excellent condition of the farms. The soil appears to bo a slaty loam of fertile quality. At somo point ilie clay predominated, but generally, tin ground isof tho quul-ity that is easily cultivated and very productive. The season has been uncommonly dry, hut this region bus suffered lea limit almost tiny other whore the drouth has been equally severe. There is an nppeartnice of thrift unit neatness mid (borough cultivation about the barns and houses, and fence corners, as well as the iiolds, tlint might be fallowed wilh great advantage by many of our Ohio farmers. Altogether, I was much pleased with this section of the Htate, as an agricultural district. This is a Hue region for fruit, especially apples and pears. Springvillo has some mills Find factories on a creek pans i tig through it, which add considerably In the importance and business of iho placo. This stream is very clear, and is ted by springs in the neighborhood. It seemed a novelty lo um to see all tlio little water courses filled with bright sparkling water, especially after so long n time of dry weather. But I learned that these Hprings never tail, and 1 lint they discharge about the sumo amount of water during the ontire season. The owners of mills on tho creek can calculate wild certainty bow much work they can du, mid (hey aro never disappointed for want of water. Tills is an important item to (ho mill owners, and of great convenience to the citizens mid firmer of this section of tlio Nlato. The village of Springvillo has about one llniusiud inhabitants and is scattered over considerable lerriio-rv. The houses are generally ('f wood, two stories high, painted white, wih green wooden blinds, yards filled with shrubbery, flowers, Aic, in front, and abun dance of shade trot s about the premises Thero is no crowd i nil or cramping of houses, but each lias room and verge enough for comfort and elegance Thero aro tin overgrown aristocratic establiubmeiiis, looking down on long rows ot novels where squalid poverty cowers in rags and starvation, but a practical equality, which tends to level ftp, and to elevate ihe entire community around them. A flourishing academy i uns tained, and the system of common net Is, for which New York is famous, r ceivos a cordial support from the people. A very intelligent friend with whom wo arevi-dt-in?, and who lias resided here for over twenty years, uvs the only ohjueiion ho can urge to this section is. that the winters are too long, and the frosts are rather too late in tho spring and early in the fall for their convenience. In other respects it is a very deai able agricultural region. Tho land is easily plowed, the rains not hindorinir this operation, ami the crops with tho usual means aro seen to return a fair reward for toil. They buve not the lavish agricultural wealth id Ibe Scioto or Miami regions of Ohio, but justice com pels us to stale that they have neater farms, cleaner lonce corners, hotter (arm nouses, neiier imrns, ouo stables, and out houses, and more of tho comforts and elegancies of life about them, than is yet found in the broad, rich ami magnificent tieids m our liucKeyi State. But wo shall come to these things in due time. Th spirit of improvement is abroad among ns. Visils to other sections cannot fail to suggest improvements at iiome. The vast resources of Ohio aro not onualed in New York, but we have yet much lo do bolero we -equal (hem in the comfort, and thrift, and taste of their farm in,' community. Tin F.niroit, lash left its mark on divers garments, much to the an- noyaiico of the occupants of tlio first box. The whole affair is as old Fopiith, and superannuated as any Hip Van Winkle could wish, and is entirely out ot charac ter with the limes and tho place. But we bad oiiecon-soliitiuit. The rond gave us somo most magnificent views of ihe Falls, and we did not go fatt enough lo spoil tho prospect. No where is tho beholder more ilrnck with (ho beauty ut the scene than irom me high grounds above the Canada Falls. Tho Clifton House has been materially increased in capacity since taut uur, olid is full of guests o usual. It is the place lo Mop, iT one wishes to enjoy the finetf view of die Falls, and, nt the same time, enjoy the comforts of a lintel uiixurpiMsed in iis appointments and attractions by any Minilar establishment in or out of the Union. A Hying visa to tlm mispennion bridge, tu Table Hock, or what is left of it to the museum to tho American Fall a ride across Iho boiling, surging water k, and up the railroad to the banka of the village of Niagara these constituted tlio labors of tlcil day. After a vim! to Muckinuw, the ".Voo," &., 1 was impressed with tho opinion (bat Nmgara bad attraction fur superior to any, or all of tljem, mid must ever main tain iis pre-emiueiico ah n great point fur fasliiotnlile nsort. Invalids in pursuit of health, may tarry nt Saratoga, or, if worn down by labor, ond in want of pure air and cool hiveva, may prefer Iho delightful summer breezed of Mackinaw or the Soo. But tho citizen who merely desires to go to some place, to upend a few day pleasantly, and enjoy a continuation of scenery inwurpai'sed on tho globe, abounding wilh fine hotels, and all the appliances of the highest civilization, will ever find Niagara tho great placo of attraction. It can have no auccesffil competition. Kvery year adds to the number of vioitois, and tho increasing moans of (ravel, with the improving condition of iho people, and the disposition to go somctnhere overy sea son, tniiHt continue to increase tlm number ot visitors at that great waterfall. I looked nt the empty Bluudauud tnuia vtlieiobnl a few days before 1 saw such u vast crowd in attendance, listening to the eloquent speeches and stining music ut Iho great National Whig Convention. The long row of tents worn gone. The stamU of iho pedlars, und eating tents were gone. The cry of the soap man, the lung tester, tho boy wilh u "finido lo tho Full," Ac., was fur a time huthed. Tlm big Convention was gone, but tho Oreul Kails, beautiful uroves, and mighty chanm through which the boiling waters rushed, were there, as uttrac.ivn ai ever. The passago Irom the Falls to Coliunlun is rapid. I Hturted at six o'clock on Friday evening from Niagara, uud nrrived at home Ihe next evening at live o'cloi k limo i!3 hours. This is nothing to what it will be, when die Lake Shore Itailroad is finished, but it will tlo for this year, 18fc!. Tho steamers from Biifl'ulo to Clcvolund are line boats, well managed, clean und comfortable. The Northern Indiana is a magnilicent palaco, and is doing lino business. In addition to the Cleveland IniiinenH, it runs to Toledo, and connects with the ISoutheru Michigan Kailmud. Tlm imtirovoments at Cleveland, along the Laki alinre, are immense, and of great importune". A vast umount of the Lake has been filled up, and inndo into capacious depot grounds, iho piers ol Iho ditlereiit companies, extend several imuun ti jeei inioiue ueep water, thus enabling the steamers to come along side of them, lor iho purpose of taking in or discharging passengers and freight. Tho safety and protection of mi immense umouut of properly on the Lake shore, and of Iho shipping along side of tfiesu wharves, require n breakwater in the Lake in front ol them. A plan for this work has been proposed, and published in the Clevelnud papers. It is evident (hat tho Cuyahoga Itivor is altogether inadequate to accommodate the business of (he placo. It is already more than full. New points are required, and the I.ako Mmre, eait ot tho mouth of the river, must he used for Ibis purpose. To bo safe from storms, u breakwater must be built. No olaco within our knowledge has luc leased its comruer cial strength so rapidly, within two years past, ns has Cleveland. It takes rank mthejtrsr place on inoaouiu shore ol I, ike Krie, 1 appears to have but just commenced its career. It depends upon the energy and nternrizeol its citizens, to ay where it shrill slop.

IT TAKES THE WOMEN. K0TES BY THE WAY NO. VII. Buffalo Niagara FallsClifton House Home again. The journey by stago coach on the plankroad from Buffalo tn Springfield, and hack, is not a very rapid or very pleasant flair. We were most uncomfortably packed in going oul of the city, having nine in the inside on (ho three seals, ami four children in addition, seuttered promiscuously on the taps of tho aforesaid nine. Then wo had four passengers on top, in addition lo thudriver, making in all eighteen persons! Wu were over leveu hours in going 'JO miles over plankroad! It occurred to ni that this was slightly behind the spirit of the age. We made our homo iu UulValo, at the Phelps Hon e, which wo regard as ihe best hotel in that city. Long experience lias made Mr. Hooxus tho impersonation of a gentlemanly, courteous landlord and his Imubo is a model of neatness, order, and good living. Having one day on my hands, I determined tu pend it nl tho great watering place of the teorld, Niagara Falls. Ho, on Friday morning 1 took passage in tho comfortable little steamer Emerald, and at about half past ten passed the faim.ut battlefield of Chippo wa. and lauded our craft in Chippewu creek, over which (Icn. Hcott chased the British troops after that hard fought batlle. A ride in the old fashioned, dilap idaled cars from Chippewa to the Falls is instructive to an American, as it puts h in buck twenty live years, at least, nnd enables him to see how the world got along with railroads then The old, Hal, bar rails, cars of the primitive paltcrn. with two seals in each apaitmeul facing oilier, liken stnge coach, iho whole drawn by three horses of fieih and blood.

ACCIDENTS AT NIAGARA FALLS. GOLD DEVELOPMENTS IN AUSTRALIA. The Kitolish people appear to he nhout as effectually mad with the gold fever as have been ihe pen p o of the 1iiiied States, at any period of our California excitement. Tlm latest returns fri-m (ho Australian mines, ivu evidence of enormous yields, and the remit is a general rush of all (he louse footed popn latiou in that direction. Emigration at the rate of one thousand a day is going on. That nit this rush and abundance of fJd produce tlm same results that were witnessed in California, was to be expected. The London correspondent of iho National Intelligencer, gives some of the items, which will look very familiar to the observer of California life, for ihe two years past : Late letters from Melbourne state that the condition of socioly there completely ignores some very prevalent social maxims; for instance, we used lu be told that " poverty is a great instigation to crime," and ihut "in times of nhundaneo and prosperity, tho ratio of crimo decreases." This is certainly not tho case in Victoria; for. with the increased wealth, crimo and outrage ot all kinds Imvo most frightfully increased. The last astounding piece of villainy is (Im plundering of a gold Bhip iu the harbor in (he middle ot the night by a band of twenty armed rutliaiis, who carried nil' up. wards of 8.(10(1 ounces of gold, worth at least 30,01)0; no tidings had been heard of the oerpetratiors. The present population at Ballarnt and Mount Alexander, is estimated at 3.J.000; the produce of tho digging there is about :ilt,0(10 ounces woekly. We give ihe two following extracts from letters which have been lately received, ns very graphic sketchos of the state of things at tho places where they are dated : " Fort Puir.ti, March 31, 182. " The town is surprisingly flue an regards the widlh of tho slreets and (ho tine surrounding country. The people tit present are the most vagabond set of fellows in appearance, that you ever saw; tlieir principal amusement seems lo bo cabbing it, and becoming temporary proprietors of horses.

Every thing hero hits Ihe appear an e of a bustle that is unnatural. Hniiso rent and ledging are i-imrmous.

A Liberty party Convention was held at Sy racuse on tho 2d iiiBt. A difference of opinion existed in reference to adopting Bom report, when a portion seceded, and nominated W. C.

The Btirlincton Hawkey e of the 2d instant, contutn u tolerably lull report of the returns of tho lute election iu Iowa. From that, it ap pears, that in tho Senate the Whigs have elected 14, ami tho Democrat 17; and in the House the Whigs havo elected 27, und tho Democrat will be 35. Tbia shows a very lurgo Whig gnin in both branches. The llawkeye think whou ihe full olliciul vote comes in, tho gain will bo larger than it now appears. Last spring the Court of Common Pleas ap- appointed a committee to exnmino the Treasurers books of Coshocton county, while in the charge ol wu. Q. Williams, Treasurer of that county. After a laborious examination, they report to Iho court that this Williams is delinquent to Iho county m the sum ot ,oiir thousand four hundred and forty two dollars, and ticmty three cents! This is a very moderate grab, lor ouo who bebmgs to tho great Swahtwout parly ot in nation, and ihe Yontz St. Co., parly of ihe State. Tho voters of Coshocton nro looking into ibis busi ness, nnd begin to doubt whether such kind ot Democ racy is just tho sort for tho tax-payers. Summit County.

If I should ha the nominee, I shall strive to do my duty, as heretofore. But, if not and in any event I shall go fur tho Whig candidates, from the highest tn the lowest on lh" ticket, heartily and to . the best of my ability." ICT Verily, the fools are not all dead ! The Washington Union, with a gravity that only tinds a pnr-nihil in tho pages of 8tkknbs Tristam Shandy, insists that tho capital burlesquo upon the letter ol Ioohbi & Co., purporting to he signed by Truman Smith, Cur lom nud half a dozen Scott Whigs, wherein ihey I eel 'ire they cannot support Mr. Pierce, wa intonded as a fraud upon the country! Wo hail supposed iho greenest specimen of a Lojofoco in Hie District ot Co lumbia would have known better. But the editor of Union has succeeded in making himself mre ridiculous thau this circular mudo Toombs & Co , and nobody but himself could havo done that! Wise, smart man !

He contrasted (he policy of the two parlies on the question of protection. He reviewed ihe foreign policy, as proposed hy our oppo nents and ns practiced by Whigs, He then spoke of the prospects of General Scott in New York, and said that (hut great Slate would certainty give its vote for him, and stated the reafou for his failh.

Our friends bring us the most encouraging report of tho Whig prospects. We are fully convinced that a vigorous vlfort will givo lis Ohio by thousands, nnd every thing indicates that that t-lfitrt will be made. Early in the evening; the people in largo number assembled iu front of our office, and were ad-dressed by several gentlemen tilt a vory late hour. We never saw such u desire to listen to public speaking. It seemed that the massea would have remained till morning if the speakers could havo been found to cntcrtuiu them. Able and eloquent addresses wero made by Hon. Mr. Co.vuKK of Michigan, llou. Wm. Lawiikmck, Hon. L. I. CaMrnF.i.i,( Messrs. Gin son, Mimrur, &c. We have not loom to give even a aynopsis of their speech-es. They were very able and were listened to whh great inlerest to the last. The cheering and demon stralions of d-digbt were fiequeui and enthusiastic. Mr. OAMritKi.i.'a speech was n very happy eliort. He is on his leiurn from the great Bear Garden at Wnli-mgiuii, and ficsh from Ihe seem of political hesd quarter. The ric nl the Convention lias been decidedly good.
