If any of our correspondents are diappointed this week in not hav ing their favors appear in the pa per. we will have to advise them that our space is not sufficient to put them all in at once. —The date line on the first page, was overlooked, and a gieat number of the papers worked of! before the error was noticed. Those kinds of thiugs will happen sometimes. —We call special attention to the notice of Messrs. McMichael tC Stevens, headed “To 0.. r Cus tomers, to be found in another col umn.

New York City, ) j August 31st, 1870. j My Dear Mama and Papa: At t.be close of my last letter you saw that I was in Philadelphia. I will give you only a brief sketch of where I went and what I saw. On Sabbath morning we visited Trinity church, found it so crowded that we could not get seats. IV e re turned to our hotel, had lunch, and our whole party, numbering about 40 with our- gallant Captain Cliipley procured carriages, and liad a most delightful ride over Fair-Mount Park. I think we went about 25 miles. 1 I never saw more beautiful scenery- We met and passed hundreds of ve. hides of different kinds, seemed to me all Philadelphia was out riding. I assure yon we Intel a gay and pleas ant time. We returned about dark, had din ner, and alterwardfb all assembled in the parlor and listened to some very sweet music. On Monday morning we took a street car lor the Centennial. Wc arrived there,, each one with our 50cts, and entered immediately. We entered Main Building first, and almost before I knew it wc were in Africa, where we saw minerals, birds, animals, and all the different produc tions oi that country w'th many cu riosities. Wo then entered Chinn? the curiosities there arc too mum rous to rni ntinii, but l must tell you oi *> bedstead that was carved beautifully, the cost, of it bt ing S4OOO, then wc came to beautiful ornaments curved of ivory, then a pair of vases tor two thousand dollars. We found many curious and antique looking things. Then pussod on to Japan, Norway, Swceden, Great Bitian and Ireland. Thirty-three governments \vc;c rep resented in ibis building. We saw a deal and yet there was a great deal wc did irot see, because it would take a person six months to see every thing that is ou exhibition. Wc next, visited Machinery Hall, with all kinds of machines in .the world in it. All inn by a large Cor liss engine, said i-t> be the hu g st engine in the world. In this budd ing we saw them manufacturing ev erything any one could think of. VC saw silk in the cocoon state, then, they were winding it off - , then draw ing it in the loom, at ter wards weav ing it in the most beautiful silks. 1 saw them making india-rubber shoes, blowing glass in all kinds of fancy ornaments, c nw tixan weaving the most beautiful Brussels and ingrave carpets. Well, l must hurry mi. We nest visited Art Galley, saw the finest pic tures and statuary of both continents. Wc spent several hours very pleas antly gazing ou lira works of art. Next day wo visited Hie United States building, there we saw them making different implements of war, also a sloop of war, saw different kinds ol machinery in operation that has been invented in the United States, also great many curiosities. We next visited Agricultural Hall were very much interested in there. Saw two Chester pigs, Weighing twelve and thirteen hundred pounds, and an ox that weighed 3,100 pounds, and all kinds of agricultural imple ments. Thursday we risked Wo man's Pavilion, and saw all kinds of beautiful and line work made by the ladies. We then went to all the State buildings, among them I think Kansas and Colorado, bad the best display. It, had taken us four days to see till these things. On Friday we decided to go < ut in the ci'y and visit the places of inter est. At the Mint they were coining money out of gold, sdver, copper and lead, we could have spent sever al hours very pleasantly there, if it had not been so Warm and crowded. We next went to Independence Hall, saw the portraits of a great many old Generals, and a good many old relics. Next, Carpenters Hall, in whicli the first Congress assemble and in tlie United States. Wo after wards visited Girard College, a com modious and splendid building, ci> dowered by Stephen Girard. The cost of the building and grounds weie six million dollars, it is for the ben efit of the orphan childrens in Phil adelphia, there being 550 pupils in attendance. It is indeed a lovely place. We next went to the Penitentiary, and as I have always had such a hoi ror of a building ot tins kind, I must say I was agreeably surprised to see everything kept so neatly and syste matically. The conductor was very kind in carrying us over a large por tion of the building. Tho next day, (Satin day,) we spent on the Centennial Grounds. We had a great deal to see, as it was our last day on the grounds. On tire Sab bath we left for New York. We were about three hours coming, en joyed the scenery vciy much, it seem ed one large city ail the wav. We arrived here about six o’clock. I will write again before we leave ■ New York.
