Seldom does does the traveller pas3 through aabre di versified and beautiful scenery. Here are I hand some summer residences, splendidly dei-orated, neat and tasteful Churches, and school houses. I A trip here at this delightful season is refreshing. It is inspiring to look on the cultivated gardens of and the hills of everlasting greenj. The attractions of the City of Raleigh are extensi viely and favorably known.

Situated in he center ofj a rich and fertile country, now wearing the rich livery of summer a cheering meets the eye in all directions. Raleigh is not an old place. The first house in it. was uilt years, ago by one Lane, the progenitor jbf the notorious Kansas Lane.1 The City is regularfy and tastefully out in the form of a basin, ejrtcircled by a belt of hills. The streets are wide and commodious, shaded by rows of elims and oaks.

The superb residences in and around the City, wjth their ample 'yards and gardens, adorried' with flowers and shrubbery, give the place a most altractipe appearance. Perhaps there is no town of the slime population in the South, that affurds so many evidences of wealth, inteHigence.entirprise and social refinement. The population are chiefly natives a sjight sprinkling -of Northerners, and very few; foreigners. The wealth of Raleigh is of the genuine, slowly formed description that does not take to; itself wings and fly away, just whenPiC is wanted most Thef citizens are much hardier) sturdier, and nobler race of people than their neighbors of South Carolina. They may be less polished and; showybut jthey are more dignv fied, industrious and patriotic.

Beautifnl Raleigh I It was1 laid out in the pood old English Southern manner. The spacious Fay-etteville street is lined with stores, so solid and that they would not look out of place in New York, where ihe; stores are palaces. 1 There! is bnly one principal street. Raleigh is a railroad' centre iruni WQICU iuciv Dcctai uiguijr iuipui.aui is- diations. The uburbs of the city abound in good and beautiful mansions, gardens and ornamental trees, where the wealthy enjoy a delightful retreat fronv jthe ejt- scenes of political and mercantile warfare.

The citizens are intelligent andhospi table. The ladies are" noted jlor their great personal beauty. Their bearing to our soldiers is polite, courteous jMid christian. The derisive and contemptuous, scorn which looted out of the eyes of the Secesh' ladles of Nashvflle does not exist' here. The residences the wealthy are palatial.

AmongHhese mansions worthy of special mention, are the splendid palaces of Grimes, Mordecai, Boy lan, Tucker, and Skinrer, a feaptist parson, now travelling jn Europe! These Swellings -resemble the palaces of the English a'rrstdcrady. The religious denominations have neat and spacious The Baptists hare the grandest edifice in the State; It is truly a gem ofj chaste architecture. It. is a metropolitan church'. The.

pastor himself gave fifteen thousand dollars towards -its- erection- The Episcopal church, as' usual. Is a very fihejand elegant building. The! rector. Dr. Mason, is a man of cultivated mind arid Union sentimepts.

This is th most fashionable chardb in the city. The Methodist have three religious places of worship. The minister who now, repre-sents John Wesley, is (he Rev. Mr: Pell, a courteous and venerable -minister of the Gospek He is the Editor of a Methodist paper published heTe." I have been reliably informed that Mr. Pell hat iilw-iys been a conservative, that is, a Union man.

The clergy 'South, generally' at present ar'. becoming 1 more reconciled tothe Go verYiment of our fathers. There are many interesting public' buildings' in Raleigh Among' them are the. a9yl lums, and the shools. The Lunatic Asyluut.
