VELLETRI, SOUTHERN ITALY, 1
March 14.1853. )
My Dear Friend:—I arrived here
last night on mv journey south. I sit
down early, ns the morning begins to
break, to indite you this note of my yes
terday’s sight-seeing in the country. I
am one day from Rome; three more to
Naples. 1 travel by private carriage, or
retina, as it is culled; a notice of travel
ing quite unknown in America. It is a
pmvirion for such as fmm health, or cu
riosity, would mnke ea*y journeys, and
tarry occasionally by tlie way. Almost
every town in the peninsula has these pri
vate carriage establishments, which agree
In take you to a certain place for a spe
cified sum, providing food, lodging, ser
vice, lee. You may inaku up the party
yonrself, or throw the task upon them.
The latter is geoetally the case, as itost
travelers are too much occupied to at
tend to the matter. In this case, books
are opened, in which you, as others, in
scribe your name, though yoo may nev
er have seen each other before. It is
polite to exchange call.* with ytwr future
companions, though it is tint commonly
done. Mine, besides my friend, are an
English clergyman and his wife, a single
lady traveling with them, and a Catholic.
Biritop fiom Moravia, sent out seven
teen years ago, a missionary, now re
turning f.,r the first time, to visit parents,
brothers, sisters and friends. He is an
excellent mat:, .md though speaking noth
ing but Italian, much more of a compan
ion for me than the English, whose tougue
is my own. These last, however, are
civil people, and premise to be good com
panions,
Titere are two other modes of travel
ing in Italy, by post and by diligenzia.—
The latter is something like our stage,
though the vehicle is. very different,
is leug and wide, divided into three com
partments, at different prices. It is, in
fact, tho old French diligence s a crazy
noisy old thing, but makes good time.—
It carries the mail; travelers in haste, go
by the diligenzia. It makes our four
days' journey from Rome to Naples, in
one.day and night.
In Italy, as throughout Europe, pro
visions are also made for traveling by
post as tt is called. It is regulated by
government, by license to individuals.—
Stables are placed at suitable distances,
generally about ten miles, where yon
can procure relays of fresh horses, at an
established. tariff. You find your own
parriagai Americans and English usu
ally hjre their carriages in Paris, with
which they make the whole tour of
France. Italy ami Germany, wit hunt
changing This of mm}t* traveling has its
conveniences and iuconvienccs. Fumi
j dism'ro, mid the East. 'Gseshr. CiSehi,
1 Pompey, and all the heroes of antiquity
I passed over it. The once flourishing, but
1 now ruined towns, elicit constant inter-*
«st; the scenery also is rich, varid, sub
lime.
The view of Rome from Albnnn, fif
teen miles out, is ope ofthe most magnfi-
fence that dan he conceive 1. It was al
ready hi”h noon when we reached the
summit of the hill. The morning was
clear; the mid-day sun shone in full glo
ry up* m the enternnl city. 1 had been
af Albano before on a short excursion,
and had tarried till the setting sun met
the Western wave, when the \mude town,
with palace, cupola, and tower was lit up
in an unclouded blaze of living light.—
The three hundred churches of Rome are
best seen from these mountains heights.
Albano is tho ancient Alba Lougu.—
It bus some ruins; among others,a mound
which is called rh* tomb of Aseatdus,
founder of the city. As you go out on
the road to Naples, is another and more
remarkable pyramidal mound.hetterpre-
served, which has the imposing uame of
Tomb of the Horulii.
The modern town has nothing of great
interest savea few rich palaces, villas and
convents. It is a rommon resort for the
Romans during the heat of summer.—
The fresh air. and glorious views both
of Rome and ihe sea, make it a pleasant
retreat. Castle (1 randolfo,summer res
idence of the Pope, is on the summit of
the hill overhiokiiig Lake Atbano. It
is a quiet, healthy loration. commanding
the view of Rome, old T usculum, and the
whole range of the Allmii mountains,
made classical by Virgil,who places there
hie Golfs.-
Another summer retreat ofthe Romans
is Geznno, near Lake Nemi, a pure nod
beautiful sheet of water, called by the
ancients Diana's LooJcing-gtass, because
she hail a temple on the shore. Near
here is the plare where MHo and Clodioa
met. It is pointed out to strangers. A
visit to Italy revivif.es the dull, stale,tried
lessons of our school-hoys days.
There are ruins of mnny temples along
this route. Columns, capitals and pilas-
tret are strewn at the foot of almost eCe-
ry ltill. The Romans always built on
some elevated spot. The whole chair
ofthe Appenoines was once decorated
with temples. At Cori, not far irom
Velletri, our lodging place, are still stand
ing, very perfect, the temples to Castor
and Pollux, and to Hercules.
Velletri is a charming town, with gl*»
riotis views of the Appeuuities, and
ah-,unding in beautiful guldens, park
ami rich palaces. Many ancient moiiti
ntents too adorn the city. It is also no
ted as the place where the famous Pallas,
one of the choicest pieces of sculpluie
shown at Rome, was found.
Qur passports, were, as usual, demand
ed, first at the gaes ofthe town, again at
the hotel. No signature, however, is
needed. The Police is the curse of this
country. Passports are quite a tax upon
travelers. Two dollars t<< ihe American
Consul, (thut is shametuL) one dollar for
permission of residence, half a dollar to
depart, sixty cents to the Ncaimlunn
Minister, such are the infamous charges
Rome. No one can tell how many
more before the journey is finished.
The people already begin to look
squalid. Scores of beggars, half naked,
importuned us at each slow ascent.—
Nothing is more disgusting than these
.poor fnutished wretches. I was aston
ished to see how many had palsied hands,
distorted members, unnatural faces. I
suppose their wretched, filthy, starved
condition is the cause. These beggars
are quite distinct from the peasants; a
class hy themselves. The immense trav
el first made them ; their posterity ate
born beggars, and kept so by ihe mis
placed sy mpathy of foreigners.
The peasants look neat and happy-
each has his flask of wine at his girdle,
aud walks quick and elastic. The peas
ant girls wear short, plaid petticoats, with
tightly-fitting jackets, adorned with fan
cy work aud curious rows of buttons —
Their Leghorn hats have wide gaily-col
ored hands streaming iu the wind.—
Large buckles are on their shoes, mock
jewels on their fingers. They are.neat
and tidy, rosy cheeked and happy.

occured many years ago in the Phila

was in danger of Iosii-g two-thirds of her
husband’s estate—hife relatives grounding
their claims on the alleged- insanity of
the defunct. It may he as well to pte-

There were hallowing thoughts as we
watched them. It would have excited
no attention to have witnessed the youn
wife thus leaning upon the choice of
her young dreams, and a future Irright
with hope. B 1 1 after all the ardor • f

A OTclacboly Confession.
We weieshown hy ourTaxCollectcr,
a few days since, a ten dollar hill with
the following endorsement upon it, writ
ten perhapse by rome penitent young
innn, who, mourning over his tollies,
would warn others from following iu his
footsteps:
“Youths, beware of gambling; this is
the last of twenty-three thousand dol
lars, left me hy my good okl Christian
futher, the 1st of November, 1851. this
is the first of September, 1852. all spent
at the gambling table in Charleston.
How startling and melaueboly this
confession, that the amply legacy which
a fond parent after years of tnit and de
nial had accumulated, ami left to his
child should thus in the brief space of
one year be redesaly *pent at the gam
ing table ! How potent the spell which
conld thus-lead on step hy step the de
luded victim to his doom Perbsps,
now, he who was once tho posses
sor of this fortune, is suffering the
pinching* of poverty, and in the bitter
ness of his soul is reaping the fruits of
his folly, a friendless and homeleBS
wanderer. Of all tire vice* young and
old are addicted to, there is noue more
seductive and fatal in its consequences
than that of gaming; it is the syren song,
which lures incautious youth to ruin
or the Dead Sjea fruit, which isbeauti
ful to ihestglit, but turns to ashes in the
taste. To the gaming table how many
young men can trace hack the com
moncement of their downfall and utter
ruin? Gambling and drinking are twin
sisters ahd'Yurely-found separate*. I*
there then no young man in cutr midst to
whom the warning of this unhappy youth
may he repeated? If ro, we would say
