TRAVEL AND RECREATION IN THE VALLEY. The Fincaatle Whig atates the travel through that place the paat two months exceeds that for the same period of any previous year.— There are four stage routea concentrating at that town, and the travel upon all is unprece dented, according to the Whig. This travel, ol course, consista almost wholly of persons who •re seeking health or pleasure in the moun tains and vallies of Virginia. The attractions are yearly increasing in that region of our country as well for the seekers of health as of pleasure. There are new springs almost every year brought to public notice, while improvements are added to those long known. The value of the property of watering places too is yearly increaaing, as some recent chan ges in the proprietors of s«me of them very clearly show. These exhibit astonishing ad vances in the estimated values of those places. This enhancement of that sort of property is owing to the increase of visitors to the springs and to the anticipated effects of the extension of onr great Railroads into the Valley. They will increase the number ol travellers to the mountains in a manner that we can at th s time form no conception of. No section of the Union ■o greatly abounds in mineral waters as the Valley of Virginia. Almost every variety that the world produces is found there, including Thermal Springs of indescribably grateful as well as curative influences upon the body.— The temperature is the most charming and genial to the constitution that can be found; while the scenery adds its captivating charms to lure the traveller thither, and to detain him when there. Before the days oi splendid steam boat traveling and of railroads our valley was obout as accessible as moat places, and was perhaps more resorted to by people of all sec tions of the Union than any othei part of it.— After these great plans of locomotion had been brought to their grand perfection, the travel to the Virginia Springs became irksome, tedious and repulsive. Other fashionable and more accessible points rose in public favor and the currents of travel became verv much changed. The consequence was that the springs and vallies of Virginia did not com mand the attention they merited, nor did they flourish as they would have done, but for the diversion of the public, occasioned by these powerful agents. Now, however, Railroads are to be made tributary to their prosperity— to bring travel within their precincts, and the effect will be magical. The Vallies of V irgi nia and their Springs will re-assert their supe riority. The means of public accommodation, comfort and pleasure will be extended—the hand of improvement will be seen everywhere, and art will vie with nature in givftig one of the loveliest and most delightful regions upon earth additional comforts for the invalid, addi tional charms for the traveller. The throng That will be annually poured into it vi ill exceed the most exaggerated estimates, and the gene ral prosperity and improvement of the whole Middle District of the State will be both grati fying and surprising to every Virginian. ANOTHER STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT. We have to announce another steamboat ac cident, with its loss of life and its dreadful in juries. Among the victims aie some of our own citizens, one of whom—Mr. T.J. Barneti a verv worthy gentleman—we are pained to learn is dead. We trust the others will recov er. The heart sickens at the sad details of these oft repeated steamboat disasters, which destroy so many lives, and so horribly wound and maim hundreds that escape with life.— And the involuntary inquiry of every reader of a newspaper, as he glances over the harrow ing narratives of these events, is, how long is this course of things to continue ? Is there no way of preventing such accidents? Is the travelling public of this greatest nation of travellers on the globe to be forever liable to the awful consequences of utter recklessness and disregard of life which mark the conduct of proprietors and officers of Bteamboats ? It does seem to us that there is an extraordinary apathy in the public mind on the subject.— How a whole nation can view the appalling steamboat tragedies which are constantly oc curring, with, as it were, folded arms, is more than we cau divine. POSTAGE. The amendments in the postage law made by Congress at its late session are valuable.— All newspapers weighing less than three oun res,as all newspapers do, will pay only one cent each, when sent to any part of the United States; and, if pre-paid by the year or quarter, at the office where they are mailed, they will be sent at half this rate. The yearly postage on the Daily Dispatch is thus reduced to $1- and similar reductions are made upon other periodical publications. The law goes inio effect on the Ist of October. The Cropt and Flood on the Dan River. The Danville papers of Saturday, Bay that the damage on the Dan River, from the rise in the water, has not been so great as was ex pected. The injury to the corn crop has heen confiued to the fodder. The tobacco crop, however, has suffered very much. The complaints on the lower Roanoke, are greater with regard to the corn, mill the crop* are superabundant—the corn crop al moat unprecedeot in the great valley of Dan. The beary rain* and occasional bright sun, have fired the tobacco and done it much injury, while much of the low ground tobacco has bam ruined by submersion. tyTbe editor of the Norfolk Argus is in formed that the freshet in the Roanoke coun try baa been very disaatroua to the cropa. It warvuppoeed that one-third of the com waa destroyed. The names of aeveral planters wen mentioned who had every proepect of makiof their two thouaand barrels, but such was the damsge to their crops that they would ■el realise fifty.

Tho build ing ia to be entirely of iron and glass. Arrest or the Moh* o» La Trafpe oi» a Charge or Murder.—We learn from the Madison (Wis.) Argus, of the 27th ult., that Leahey. well known as the "Monk of Ltu Trappe," recently murdered Edward J. Man ley, at Pardeville, Columbia county, in that State, by shooticg. He also shot at Esquire Morton twice, one shot slightly wounding.— He waa finally aireated, examined and com mitted to jail to await his trial for murder.— The cause of the murder was jealousy of Man ley and his (Leahey's) wife. From the Gila.—A letter from a member of the Mexican Boundary Commission to the National Intelligencer gives an interesting description of the Indians in the Maricopa and Pimos Villages. It says the "the dress of these Indians is of the most primitive kind. That of the gentlemen consists of a necklace and a cloth about the loins; while the ladies are con tent with a blanket around the waist and a pair of earrings." Destructive Fire.—A fire broke out in a small trarae dwelling in Cincinnati a few days since, a flying ember from which alighted on the Trinity (German Catholic) Church, setting that edifice on fire. The spire in falling communicated the flames to a fine school house, which was burnt, together with the parsonage attached to the church. The loss is estimat ed at nearly 50,000, partially insured. The Custom House. —The Secretary of the Treasury has appointed the following gentle men commissioners to superintend the con> struction of a Custom House in this city, for which au appropriation of $100,000 was made bv Congress.

Tas Oatu gmwm —The miniature modal of this new order 01 stramboats waa again exhibi ted in (tail operation on the Basin, Saturday after noon. This modal waa invented by Alexander Bond, ef Philadelphia, and has been patented and put in successful operation by John Pettibone, of Washington, D. C. To give a moie particular de scription of the powers of the invention, we will state that it is adapted to either freight or passenger boats on a canal. There is one of these boats now in operation on the Rappahannock River, engaged in carrying wheat to Falmouth Mills. Her length Is fifty-five feet, width of beam ten feet, and she travels at the rate of eight miles per hour on the river, and five miles per hour on the canal. It draws only thirty inches of wster when loaded, and the wash from the motion of the paddle is very slight, not sufficient to injure or wear off the banks of the canal The propelling paddle or blade in the stern is four feet in length and twenty inches wide, opersting on the iculliog principle, and hav ing the wabbling motions of the tail of a fish when swimming. The machinery is very simple in its character, and can be placed in the space u,u ®"y allotted to the cabin on freight boats—aSording fu room for the sleeping apartment of the hands. In fact, but little room if any U lost by the application of steam to a canal boat. A steamboat suitable to run on the James River Canal, ninety feet in leng and twelve leet beam, could by this plan make six miles per hour on the canal, and ten miles through the ponds. The cost of fuel for such a boat for twenty-four hours would amount to one dollar and seventy-five cents. On the whole the invention ap pears to be a very useful one. He.vbico County Aebests.—Henry Wade, ar rested for striking Charles Tensall with a bottle, will be examined before the County Court some day this week. Daniel Coy, a free negro, was arrested by Con stable Lewellen in the second district on the 29th ult., charged with assaulting a man namad Walter Jenkins. Coy was examined before Justice Stußbs, ordered 2U lashes, and bound over in the s-m of 9100 to keep thepeace. The same negro, with his wife, Mary Coy, were also examined before Justice Stubbs, on the charge of stealing four hogs from James Jenkins. Charge not proven and complaint dismissed. On the 30th ult., Constable Lewellen arrested John O'Connell, who had been beating his wife very brutally. Justice Nettles committed O'Con nell to jail in default of 4100 security. By the same officer, Jacob S. Atlee was arrested on the charge of assaulting, on the 25th ult., Wil liam W. Anderton. The accused was examined before Justice Gardner, but complainant not ap pearing, was discharged.

Serious Chaboe. —A young man named Steers was arrested yesterday by officer Trueheart, charg ed with selling, in this city, a horse and saddle be longing to his father, who resides in the county of Hanover. He first sold the saddle, and signed an assumed name to the receipt for the money; acd this led to suspicion and his arrest before he had come in possession of the money for the horse. He was taken to the cage, and will no doubt be taken before the Mayor, this mo;«vng, to undergo investigation on the charge. Continued. —James Claytor was reported on Saturday by Superintendent Valentine, of the sec ond Market, lor selling and intending to sell, on Thursday last, five bushels of peaches at the second Market, in a wooden measure purporting to be a half peck measure, the same being unsealed and deficient in size.

Dismissed.—On Saturday, Henry Finke and Peggy Ross were brought before the Mayor on the charge of pulling down and destroying a privy, al leged to be the property of Elisha P. O'Deil, situ ated on a lot belonging to Mr. Warrock.

Attempt to Poison.—We learn that a negro boy belonging to Colonel Shelton of Hanover, a few days since mixed a portion of arier.ic with some ice-cream and handed it to the Colonel and Lis daughter after dinner, who partook of it freely.— Soon after eating the poisoned confection, Col.
