M., tho steamer Innded nt Ruflalo, id tie- train for the Falls being in wailing, there was a rapid transfer of iho live stock from the boat to tho cam. Ample accommodations wero in rendiuess, and soon wo were carried at a rapid rate toward the (trout American Citnratt. At two o'clock, wo arrived nt tho village of Niagara, when nnother scene wns presented, thai must h tve been bordering on the ludicrous to the out-i.b rn who wero lookers on. It was announced nt RulVilo, ns ibo steamer approached the wharf, that the hoiels wero all full at the Falls, nnd that the guests uld becompolled to come back tn Buffalo for lodg ings, S une regarded ibis as arut to bench t Ibo hotels, but it had the cm-cl to create a very active movement, or rather a vigorous ruth from the cum to the hotels, nnd n grand scramble for rooms. It was ton true that the town wns full of visitors before ihe irruption of the Ohio herd, and It waa found In he impossible to sun ply our largo company with rooms. Some were lucky. and wo happened to find good accommodations In Hie fourth story of ihe ' Cataract Mouse" By close pack ing, tuing mattreue, and ransacking the town gene rally, the most of the guests wore provided for. But, a portion of thorn wero compelled tn return iu the "venhujr train to Bufl'iln. Tho hotels nt Ihe Falls are immetmo ami numerous, but the number of visitors Hps season f ir exceeds that of any previous year, and every place is full In overflowing, Niigarn has hnan so often described lhat it would be out of place In attempt it nt thin time. We regard it the great watt ring ptace of the continont, nud every year will only add tn Hie thousands who will visit it, either to sen its splendid fills, nr In spend a few days in it delightlul society, and In rambling over its mag. nificmil and claisio grounds. The terrible accident which occurred but two days before we arrived there, wan the iburaeof general convt rsiitoti. Three (b r-innun who were employed nt some work above the falls attempted lu cross the river iu a scow boat, about ten o'clock on Monday night. How they lost iheir reckoning and got Into th currant will never he known, an lliey were all lost. On Tuesday morning it wnn discovered that a human being wnn clinging to a log or stump about midway between ihe falls and the bridge to float Inland, and some whn' nearer ihe Island than the Americnn shore. Tho roar and dash of waters nround him made it Impossible In hear a word he niifht inter. Tho news noon spread, and during the entire day of Tuesday, (ill six o clock in the evening, the shores and bridge were linod with anxious beings. The most unremitted exertions wero mudo to save him Two of Francis' life bonis were sent down toward him, with strong ropes nttacbed, hut they both foundered nnd wore lost in the raging waters, A strong rnft was built nnd let down Irom the bridge This reached him, and he might p issibly have hen saved, but the rop was drawn firmly under the log and held fast by the force ol Ibo water against tho rait, and nil Ibo t Hurls of Ihe poor doomed nun could not relevn it from its hold. A boat from tho ferry below the fills wns then st-ni In him, nnd ns it npproncbrd, ho loosened hiinsr If Irom the raft In which ho had bound himself. Thn boat, it is supposed, bit tho raft and either broke it loose or j kiioi kid il from itn place, and precipitated ihe nmn into the w iter. Ho lost bis hold, and th -n made a denpeniie struggle In reach the Island by swimming, but no human power emild nrcnmphnh il. He wns swept swiftly toward tho terrible precipice. Just he-fore reaching it, ha mined himself nearly out of the water and threw both arms aloft, then glided swiftly to the owlul brink, and disappeared forever. Tho agonizing cry nf distress from the thousands mi shore, at the night of this fearful fate, wnn heard above Hie roar of tho cataract, and will nover he forgotim by those who witnessed this Isrriblo srenn. The list boat sent to him was swamped, and turned bottom side up on the log nr stump whore tho mnn rested, nnd In there yet, to murk the fatal spot. Of course, many think Ihe poor man could have been saved, but every tiling wnn dono lint the bent judgment of tlmso present could suggest. This fen ful tragedy will long lie remembered in iho nunnl.s nf the place, und Hie point where he I dged, and struggled for nineteen hours, will be poin'el out to visitors with mournful interest, The company employed their time to th" bent nd vnnlaco.

Therelore the following res, dniiniis were reported and unanimously adopted : Resolved, Tint the bosom of every true non of our Stato swells with naiiiinal pride, when magnanimous ucts of hospitality are no gout-rotoly tendered. Sec tional leehng nnd pride may ti-Tetotore have led us into ihe error of supposing that to ourcelvos nn representatives or our bright und highly respectahlo commonwealth of this glorious conledcracy, belonged nil hon orable acts of generous ImnpiinMiy; but our recent short ihtercourno with our brethren of tho North-Kant lias demonstrated, tint our union is cemented more by leeling than by foice of legislalivo acts ; lhat a uni versal indivisible band nf sympathy nnd national a flection pervades the nrgnhiz ilii n, nnd chains ihe hearts d Hie itiliuhitan'.n nl Columbin'n soil.

At eight o'clock on Saturday morning we were seat ed in the cars and on our way to Columbus, where wo arrived in duo timo. No! n single accident of uny kind has happened to m ir Hp pleasure of the trip. The entire excursion has been one of the most magnificent in lesign ard the niont perfect in till the details of execu tion, tlmt has ever been witnessed on this continent. Nothing w:u omitted lint would tend to tho conveni ence nn-J plea'uro of Iho guests. Our bills wore paid at every pl.ico, from the start lo the clone, even inclu ding the omiiibus fire, at Cleveland ami Buffalo. We inquired of President Paine, who, by the way, was constani!y wjih tin company, looking after tho comfort of the guests, to whom wo were indnbied for the admirable iiiunriur in which Hie entire system uf details were planned nnd executed. He said that Messrs. 8 a it ford Witt ond Stone wero the planners of ihe details. To show tho spirit of the afl'iir, we (date that ice cream was served to nil tho ladies on tho train from Erie to Cleveland. The editors hnd a fine opportunity to got well ac quainted wiih each oilier. Whig, Locofoco and Free- soil, all mot here nu ono common platform, and forgetting everything but our glorious country, ita glorious stiny, and the courtesies of gentlemen, they saw each othor ns American citizens, nnd were proud of our position as a people among the nnltons of the earth. Tho asperities of political warfare must gradually dis appear if thin sort of personal intercourse is continued. North and South nlso meet on common ground, and learn tn know and nppre:iuto tho cxcellonco of each. Tho bonds of our common Union are strengthened, the trme nf sentiment nil lie elevated, and a belter, higher stato of civilization will bo attained, by such moans. This is not merely an excursion. True, Ihe companies will secure (he good will of thousands, and secure n very general advertisement of their mads, &-.c, but llio moral elled of the excursion will not end in that, A mora permanent and lusting good is accomplished. A unity of feeling is created. A pride of country is fostered. In every aspect, the result is sal utary. Wo presume thin is but tlio precursor of other move-meats of a similar character. Too much praise cannot bo awarded the men who have thus nobly nud munificently lead tho way. Mny their rondn and steamers prosper, and may their shadows never be less! From tho Cincinnati Gaxrtte. FLORENCE. Florence, ns n city, compares f ivnmbly wiih Home, nnd even Naples, lis nlreets, wider, ntraigbbr, and better paved, are lined by bouses built more of stone, greater in height, and ol hand om style. Several of the public eddices are very imposing. Its galleries and Palaces, like other cities in Italy, are replete wiih gems of art. All things beautiful, that the nund of man cm conceive or his hand execute, is found iu llu-ir apartment. The mucum is ninnt excellent ; the anatomical preparations iu wax Ihe best in Bupye. The Caseana nr public drive is enough of itself to remb-r Florence nttraciive.

Oo Sundays Ihe scene is very gay, and Ihe entire grounds extremely inviting, I rqioni a part of my timo w iih our former fellow t iii.nnn, Powers and Kellopg.

Hi reputation brings commissions from nil quartern, ni his own price, and no stranger, however distinguished, b-aves Florence without visiting his studio. I was glud to find hun no certainly on tho high road to fortune. Mr. Kellogg, whoa studio adj aim Powers, is constantly engaged wiih his pencil, nitd n. bright future must nwnit hni. Florem-e is the hond-qiiarlers of art and the proper home ot artists. Every accessory, necessary or desirable f r nctilpiors or painters, is ut hand .Models nf nil kinds and the bent pictures of the bent old musters, are in the galleries and palaces. In fact, thin place seems esoecially adapted to sculctor, both from its continuity to the m irbleqa irries. nnd Hi number nf ready-trained assistant to bu found here, more tlmi at nny nlhor point in Italy.
