The Hudson River. THE Hudson has been termed the " Rhine of Ame- rica," on account of the beautiful scenery along its banks, and the legendary and historical associations with which it abounds. Its most remote sources are in Essex county, among the highest peaks of the Adirondack moun- tains. Some of the small lakes or reservoirs which dis- charge into it, are three thousand feet above the level of the tide-water at Troy. Its mountain torrent descends rapidly through narrow gorges, amid a wild, uninhabited, and rugged scenery, to the southern part of Warren county, where it is joined on the east by Schroon river, the outlet of Schroon Lake, v/hich is also cradled among the Adiron- dacks in Essex county. It now passes through a more settled region, which increases in population and social importance in the progress towards the metropolis of the continent. About ten miles farther south it receives from the west the waters of the Sacondaga river, a crooked stream, which is supphed from numerous mountain lakes lying among the Adirondacks in Hamilton county. These mountain sources of the Hudson, and the wild grandeur of the scenery, have been frequently described by various popular writers, and are much resorted to during the summer months by parties of amateur hunters and fisher- men, and by the admirers of those phases of nature which are to be seen in the solitary wilderness. The Batten Kill and Hoosick rivers, rising in the Green Mountains of Vermont, flow into the Hudson on the east, in its pro- gress southward ; and at Troy, the Mohawk, larger than the Hudson itself, pours in its tributary waters from the west. The sources of the Mohawk are small streams in Oneida county, and mountain lakes in the unsettled, cen- tral portions of Herkimer county, a wild and picturesque region. Trenton Falls, in Oneida county, one of the most noted of the innumerable wild scenes of beauty on these tributaries, is on the West Canada Creek, an affluent of the Mohawk. Rome, also in Oneida county, was at the head of boat navigation previous to 1755, and being within one mile of the water flowing westward into Lake Ontario, was called the " carrying-place," boats and their contents being transported from one stream to another in their progress eastward or westward. The course of the Mo- hawk from Rome to Troy is through a thriving and rural country, interspersed with busy manufacturing villages along the impetuous current of the stream." The valley affords a passage to the Erie Canal and the New York Central Railway, both of which are works of immense importance to this region, to the State, and to the country at large. From Troy to New York Bay, one hundred and fifty miles, the bed of the river is below the level of the sea, allowing t^ie tides to ebb and flow throughout its entire extent. It is supposed by eminent geologists, that the Hudson, at some former period, was a fresh water stream, its valley lying much higher than at present, and indeed, that what is now New York Bay was once far inland. The soundings of the United States Coast Survey indi- cate a continuance of the channel of the river far out into the Atlantic, gradually deepening in its progress. There are other conclusive proofs of a gradual subsidence of the entire region, far back in the remote ages of geological antiquity. The scenery of the Hudson, from Troy to New York, presents a charming variety. The upper por- tion of its valley, for more than ninety miles, is made up of a fertile, hilly country, populous with thriving farmers, and interspersed with flourishing towns and villages. Some thirty miles below Troy, the Catskill Mountains approach within twelve miles of the river, on the west side. The scenery along this range of hills is remarkably wild and beautiful. Many resort here during the summer months. A hotel upon the mountain side, more than two thousand feet above the river, can be seen from it for many miles above and below. The " Highland," or mountainous region of the Hudson, extends from New- burgh down to Verplank's Point, about twenty miles, and its scenery is extremely grand and impressive. The river here has made its way through a gap in a range of hills forming a part of the great Appalachian chain, extend- ing for many hundred miles along the eastern part of the United States. The bold and rocky banks enclose the river within narrow limits, and render its course very crooked. They rise abruptly to the height of from one thousand to seventeen hundred feet, with their grey old rocks partially covered by trees. This region has been the scene of many important events in the history of the country. The writings of our most eminent men of let- ters abound in descriptions of its magnificent scenery, and allusions to its legendary lore. Artists here draw inspiration for many of the beautiful pictures which from time to time brighten their studios, and the public and private art galleries of the countr}-. Below the Highlands the river expands to the width of three miles, forming Haverstraw and Tappan Bays. Still farther down, and forming the west bank for more than twenty miles, are the remarkable "Palisades," ab- rupt precipices of trap rock, from three hundred to five hundred feet in height. Against these the river has striv- en in vain, and they stand Hke giant sentinels guarding its progress, and overlooking the surrounding country. Their stern sides and wooded summits present one of the grandest pictures of American scenery. New York Bay\s another expansion of the river, which finally makes its exit into the ocean at the " Narrows," between Long and Staten Islands. The influence which this river has exerted and contin- ues to exert upon the material prosperity of the country is incalculable. New York city undoubtedly owes its rapid growth and its great superiority over other cities to its position at the mouth of the Hudson River. In the early history of the country, before the appHcation of steam to the railway, navigable bays and rivers were the most important thoroughfares of trade and communication between different sections of the country ; and even now, after the invention of the locomotive, so great are the ad- vantages which such a stream presents to commerce and various industrial interests, that its importance cannot be overshadowed even by the railways. In connection with a splendid system of canals, it affords an immense stretch of inland navigation. Long lines of canal-boats, loaded with bulky freight, including the great grain harvests of the West and the lumber of the North, find an economi- cal access by it to the great metropolis and to other do- mestic ports, without transhipment. Tributary to the travel and traffic of the Hudson are other lines, of which several are extended and important. At Piermont, the Erie Railway Company, before they suc- ceeded in obtaining the privilege of passing over New Jersey territory, transported their passengers and freight by boat to New York. Fishkill is the proposed connec- 6 tion of the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad, with the Erie Railroad terminating at Newburgh, on the opposite bank. When completed, this road will form anodier great thoroughfare from Boston to the \Vest. Hudson is the terminus of the Hudson and Boston Railroad, connecting at Chatham with the Western Railway of Massachusetts. Over this latter road immense trains of freight and pas- sengers are continually moving, and interchanging the varied products of the East and W^est. On the opposite side, at Athens, a railroad has recently been completed to Schenectady, connecting with the New York Central road. The navigation of the river from Athens to Albany is rendered difficult for boats heavily laden with freight, by reason of frequent shoals and sand-bars ; hence the con- struction of this branch line. At Albany the Western Railroad also connects with the New York Central to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. At Troy four great railways centre, viz. : the Hudson River, the New York Central, the Rensselaer and Saratoga, and the Troy and Boston Railways, the two latter running northwardly, through Eastern New York and Western Vermont, connecting with roads to Burlington and Montreal. The river itself is navigated by the largest vessels as far as Athens, which is about 117 miles from New York, and about 125 from its mouth at the Narrows. Steam- boats and schooners ascend to Troy, at the head of tide- water, about 151 miles above New York. Its entire length is something over 300 miles. As a commercial channel the importance of the Hudson is not excelled by any river of equal length in America. Probably a thousand vessels ply its waters engaged in the various branches of its commerce. The passenger steamboats on the river are numerous. Some of them are of great size, and rank among the finest water-craft in the world. OFFICERS : Pj'esident, C. VANDERBILT. Vice-Pres iden t, W. H. VANDERBILT. Super in ten den t, A. F. SMITH.

This railway extends along the left or east bank of the Hud- son River to Troy, connecting at Hudson with the Hudson and Boston Rai way, at East Albany with the Western Railway to Boston, and the New York Central Railway to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and at Troy with railways to Saratoga, Rutland, Burlington, Montreal, Quebec, Ogdensburg, and Uj^per Canada. Besides affording an outlet to New York for these great avenues, whose connections reach 'over a considerable portion of the United States and Canadas, the local business of the road is by no means unimportant, as it passes through a very ])opulous and thriving region. The route is likewise an unusually interesting- one for travellers on account of the unrivalled character of its scenery, and its numerous historical and literary associations. The construction of the road was commenced in 1847 and com- pleted in 1 85 1. Its entire cost, to the present time, including equipments, has been about fifteen and a half millions of do.- lars. A double track extends nearly the entire length of the route, the grade throughout is nearly level, and a large number of vigilant em]Dloyt'S constantly guard and keep every portion of it in order. In addition to these advantages and precautions, the management in regard to the running of trains is most care- ful and systematic, and great speed and regularity are thus at- tained, while the safety of passengers is rendered nearly abso- lute. Among the equipments are 82 locomotive engines, in- cluding 3 "dummies," 124 first-class, and 13 second-class pas- senger cars, 28 baggage and express cars, and 711 freight cars. NEW YORK. The principal passenger station and the offices of the Com- pany are now on Thirtieth street, near Tenth avenue. The Com- pany run horse cars, in connection with the trains, to and from the old station at the corner of Chambers and Hudson streets, and there are other public conveyances to various parts of the city. From the lower end of Broadway, South Ferry, and the vicinity of the Battery, the station may be reached by the West street and Tenth avenue cars. From the City Hall Park the rs'inth avenue cars, starting at the corner of Fulton street and Broadway, pass witliin one block. From Canal street, corner of Broadway, the Eighth avenue cars pass within two blocks, and from any part of Broadway below Twenty-third street the Twen- ty-third street omnibuses pass up Eighth avenue within two blocks of the station.

In the neighborhood is Tri- nity Cemetery, Audubon Park (for- merly the residence of the late cele- brated naturalist), and the New York Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, one of the finest institutions of the kind in the world. On the opposite side of the river, the bank for many miles is formed by the Palisades, a preci- pitous, rocky cliff of tra/>-dike forma- tion, from 300 to 500 feet in height. Geologists suppose that ages ago the crust of the earth was ruptured by some cause in the line of this dike, and volcanic matters protruded from below, which, being harder and more durable than the adjacent rocks, have better withstood the slow but con- stant action of the elements during almost inconceivably long periods of time, by which the inclosing walls on the east have been removed, leaving the present abrupt precipice.

From Trov, IHH This station is at the lower end of Tappan Bay, where the river com- mences to expand to a width of from two to three miles. A ferry was established here many years ago by a Dutch farmer which gave the place its name. The ferry now runs to Piermont, the former terminus of the Erie Railway, nearly opposite. The State line of New Jersey strikes the line a little below Piermont ; and be- "*' fore the Erie Railway Co. succeeded in obtaining the privilege of passing over New Jersey territory, their passengers and freight were taken from Piermont to New York by steamboats. The Palisades on the opposite side of the river, which for about twenty miles have formed a precipitous river bank, are now sud- denly interrupted by the valley through which the Erie Railway was built, and they do not again resume their precipitous character. Tappan, about three miles south-west of Pier- mont, was the scene of Andre's trial and execution during the war of the revolution. It will be seen, by con- sulting any of the reliable histories of the country, that this region is rich in historical associations. IRVINGTON, Greenhnrph. Wosicliesler Co. , N.

This point has been devoted by its owner, Dr. Underbill, to the successful culti- vation of the grape, and its products have a high reputation in New York for their superior quality. Across the Croton river, a few miles above here, a heavy and substantial dam, forty feet in height, has been thrown to form the lake or reservoir from which the Croton Aqueduct supplies the city of New York with pure water. This aqueduct is a magnifi- cent engineering work, and a just source of pride to New York citizens. Its cost was twelve millions of dol- lars. CRUGERS, Cortland.

FORT MONTGOMERY STA. Fliillip>i.nvn, l^iu.iaiii Co., N. Y. 4"? niilfs from N.w York. From Troy, «OS Fort Montgomery, on the opposite side of the river, was, in 1777, the scene of a desperate engagement be- tween British and Americans, in which the former greatly outnumber- ed the latter, and after a long and hard-fought battle succeeded in driv- ing them out, but not in time to accomplish their object of effecting a junction with Gen. Burgoyne, and thus preventing the defeat and cap- ture of his army by Gen. Gates at Saratoga. Two heavy booms of tim- ber and iron, one of which had been stretched across from Fort Mont- gomery to Anthony's Nose, and another at West Point, to prevent the ascent of the British, were then destroyed, _ and the river opened to their ships. Three miles above Fort Montgomery, on the west side of the river, is a small cascade called Buttermilk Falls, which comes rushing down the rocky hillside, and when swollen by freshets, presents a beautiful milky appearance, from * which its name is probably derived.

It occupies several fine stone buildings, and is situated on a level plain elevated some little distance above the river, from which it is reached by a load cut in the rocky hillside. Two large hotels _ are constantly filled with guests in the summer months. Roe's West Point Hotel at the extreme north end of the plateau commands fine views in all directions, and Coz- zens's Hotel, more recently built, is one mile below, near Buttermilk Falls, and is a favorite place of resort. Magnificent scenery and Interesting historical associations abound. Mount Independence, with the ruins of Fort Putnam high up on its side, Crow Nest, Breakneck Mountain, Mount Taurus, Butter Hill, the beautiful river with its white-sailed vessels and steamboats, and romantic islands, afford from the different points oT view panoramas whose beauty can hardly be excelled or equalled. Not the least among the attractions is the Academy itself, with its librar}'-, ob- servatory, philosophical rooms, cabi- nets, chapel hospital, etc. The daily parades of the smart young cadets on the level green between the academy buildings and Roe's Hotel, enlivened by strains of excellent martial music, the charming rambles, including " Flirtation Walk," a romantic, shaded path cut In the rocky hillside, leading to Kosciusko's garden and monument, and numberless other minor attractions, render the spot one to be long remembered with pleasure by its visitors.

Magnificent scenery abounds here, and it has been the temporary or per- manent home of some of the distin- guished artists of the country. Thomas Cole resided here when he painted his "Voyage of Life," and "Course of Empu-e." On a sort of ten-ace, twenty-two hundred feet above the river, about 12 miles back from it, and near the edge of an abrupt precipice, is built the "Mountain Hou.se," a spac ous hotel, which is distinctly visible for a considerable distance along the river. The coolness and exhilarating quality of the air, the grandeur of the view, and the comfort- able ace ^mmodations oi the hotel, at- tract numerous visitors in the summer months.

The mountain scenery bordering upon the Hudson is justly celebrated for its diversity and beauty ; nor is this region less interesting to the man of science than to the tourist in search of the picturesque and beautiful. The mountains of this region all belong to the great Appalachian range, which traverses the eastern portion of the United States, from the States bordering on the Gulf of Mexico to the basin of the St. Lawrence River. The chain is made up of a succession of ridges whose prevailing course is parallel with each other and with the general coast line of the continent. The general character of the Appalachian range in New York is a gradual change from mountains to hills, which finally sink away in the lowlands of the great St. Lawrence basin. Three distinct ranges or collections of parallel ridges pass through New York State, from South- west to North-east. The first or most easterly of these is the continuation of the great Blue Ridge of Virginia, Maryland, and Penn- sylvania, the main portions of which, passing through the North-western corner of New jersey, forms the Shawan- gunk Mountain, which, extending between Sullivan and Orange counties, strikes the Hudson in the southern part of Ulster county. South-east of this long ridge a succes- sion of smaller ridges run parallel with it, some of which cross Orange and Rockland into Putnam and Dutchess counties, east of the river. The gap through which the Hudson flows is across these smaller ridges, whose highest summits rise to heights varying from one thousand to seventeen hundred feet above tide-water.

The second series of these ridges enters the State from Pennsylvania, and extending through SulHvan, Ulster, and Greene counties, terminate in the beautiful Catskills, a short distance west of the Hudson. The third series, passing through Broome, Delaware, Otsego, Schoharie, Montgomery and Herkimer counties, reappears beyond the Mohawk, and there constitutes the Adirondac Mountains, among whose summits the Hudson finds its sources. The following sketch of the scenery of the Catskill re- gion is taken by permission from a work entitled The Catskill Mountains, and the Region Around ; their Scenery, Legends, and History. By Rev. Charles Rockwell, Dutch Dominie of the Catskills, etc., etc. A^ew York : Taintor Brothers &^ Co., Publishers, 229 Broadway. 1 867. " From the banks of the Hudson, a few miles into the country, may be seen, from different points of view, some of the most charming scenery in the world. Every turn in the road, every bend in the stream, presents new and attractive pictures, remarkable for beauty and diversity in outline, color, and aerial perspective. The solemn Katz- bergs, sublime in form, and mysterious in their dim, in- comprehensible, and ever-changing aspect, almost always form a prominent feature in the landscape. " The Indians called these mountains " Onti Ora," or " Mountains of the Sky ; " for, in some conditions of the atmosphere, they are said to appear like a heavy cumulose cloud above the horizon.

Charmed with Catskill and its vicinity, Cole made it at first a summei? retreat, and finally his permanent residence ; and there, in a fine old family mansion, delightfully situated to command a full view of the mountains and the intervening country, his spirit passed from earth ; while a sacred poem, created by his wealthy imagination and deep religious sentiment, was finding expression upon his easel in a series of fine pic- tures like those of "The Course of Empire " and the " Voyage of Life." He entitled the series " The Cross and the World." Two of them were unfinished. One had found form in a "study" only, while the other was half finished upon the large canvas, with some figures sketched in white chalk. So they remain, just as the master left them ; and so remains his studio. It is regard- ed by his devoted widow as a place too sacred for the com- mon gaze. The stranger never enters it. The mountains rise abruptly from the plain on their eastern side, where the road that leads to the Mountain House enters them, and follows the margin of a deep, dark glen, through which flows a clear mountain stream, seldom seen by the traveller, but heard continually for nearly a mile, as in swift rapids or in little cascades it hur- ries to the plain below. The road is winding, and in its ascent along the side of the glen, or, more properly, mag- nificent gorge, it is so inclosed by the towering heights on one side, and the lofty trees that shoot up on the other, that little can be seen beyond a few rods except the sky above or glimpses of some distant summit, until the pleas- ant nook in the mountain is reached wherein the Rip Van Winkle cabin is nestled. After that the course of the road is more nearly parallel with the river and the plain, and 29 VlCE^RCSIDC^JT ABRAMDPOLlimiS" Attorney, AUGUSTUS FORD Actuary , D.PARKS FACKLER Examining Physician.

Rip's cabin is a small, white building, with two rooms, where travellers formerly ob- tained refreshments ; and is at the head of the gorge along whose margin the traveller has ascended. It is so called because it stands within the amphitheatre, inclosed by lofty heights, reputed to be the place where the ghostly ninepin players held their revel ; and where Rip Van Winkle lay down to his long repose. From a rude spout by the cabin there pour cooling draughts from a mountain spring, more delicious than ever came from the juice of the grape. There are many delightful resting-places upon .the road, soon after leaving Rip's cabin, as we toil wearily up the mountain, where the eye takes in a magnificent panorama of hill and valley, forest and river, hamlet and village, and thousands of broad acres, where herds graze and the farmer gathers his crops ; much of it dimly defined because of distance, a beautifully colored map rather than a pi6lure. These delight the eye and quicken the^pulse ; but there is one place upon the road where the ascending weary ones enjoy more exquisite pleasure, for a moment, than at any other point in all that mountain region. It is at a turn in the road where the Mountain House stands ; suddenly, before and above the traveller, revealed in perfe(51; distinct- ness, column, capital, window, rock, people, — all appar- ently only a few rods distant. There too the road is level, and the traveller rejoices in the assurance that the toilsome journey is at an end, when suddenly, like the young pil- grim in Cole's "Voyage of Life," he finds himself disap- pointed in his course.

The grand rock platform on which the Mountain House stands is reached at last, and then comes the full recom- pense for all weariness. Bathed, immersed, in pure mountain air, almost three thousand feet above tide- water, full, positive, enduring rest is given to every mus- cle, after half an hour's respiration of that invigorating atmosphere, and soul and limb are ready for a longer, loftier, and more rugged ascent. There is something in- describable in the pleasure experienced during the first hour passed upon the piazza of the Mountain House, gazing upon the scene towards the east. That view has been described a thousand times. I shall not attempt it. Much rhetoric and rhyme, with sentimental platitudes, have been employed in describing it. The aerial pictures seen from the Mountain House are sometimes marvellous, especially during a shower in the plain, when all is sunshine above, while the lightning plays and the thunder rolls far below those upon the summits ; or after a storm, when mists are driving over the mountains, struggling with the wind and sun, or dis- solving in the pure air. At rare intervals an apparition, like the spectre of the Brocken, may be seen. A late writer, who was there during a summer storm, was fa- vored with the sight. The guests were in the parlor when it was announced that "the house was going past, on the outside." All rushed to the piazza ; and there, sure enough, upon a moving cloud more dense than the fog that enveloped the mountains, was a perfect picture of the great building, in colossal proportions.

The cloud moved on, and ere long we saw one pillar disappear, and then another. We, ourselves, who were expanded into giants in size, saw the gulf into which we were to enter and be lost. I almost shuddered when my turn came ; but there was no escap- ing my fate ; one side of my face was veiled, and in a moment the whole had passed like a dream. An instant before, and we were the inhabitants of a gorgeous palace ; but it was the "baseless fabric of a vision," and now there was left "not a wreck behind." Although the Mountain House is far below the higher summits of the range, yet portions of four States of the Union and an area of about ten thousand square miles are comprised in the scope of vision from its piazza. From the top of the South Mountain, near and three hundred feet above the Mountain House, and of the North Mountain more distant and higher, a greater range of sight may be obtained, including part of a fifth State. The lakes, lying in a basin a short distance from the Mountain House, with all their grand surroundings, the house itself, the South Mountain, and the Roundtop or Liberty Cap, form the middle ground ; while in the dim distance the winding Hudson, with Esopus, Shawangunk, and the Highland ranges are revealed, the borders of rivers dotted with villas and towns, appearing mere whi e specks on the landscape. Two miles and a half from the Mountain House is an immense gorge scooped from the rugged hills, into which pours the gentle outlet of the Cauterskill Lakes, in a fall, first of one hundred and seventy-five feet, and close 32 Francis & Loutrel, ' STx\TIONEIlS AND PRINTERS, 4S Maiden Ijane, Netv York.

If the visitor would enjoy one of the Avildest and most romantic rambles in the world, let him follow that little stream in its way off the mountains, down the deep, dark, mysterious gorge, until it joins the Cauterskill proper, that rushes through the Clove from the neighborhood of Hunter, among the hills above, and thence onward to the plain. The tourist, if he fails to traverse the rugged gorge, should not omit a ride from the Mountain House, down through the Clove, to Palensville and the plain, a distance of eight miles. After leaving the falls and reaching the Clove, down, down, sometimes with only a narrow space betweeh the base of a high mountain on one side and steep precipices on the other, whose feet are washed by the rushing Caut- erskill, our crooked road pursued its way, now passing a log house, now a pleasant cottage, and at length the ruins of a leather-manufa6luring village, deserted because the bark upon the hills around, used for tanning, is exhausted. Near this pi6luresque scene the Cauterskill leaps into a seething gulf between the cleft rocks and flows gently on, to make still greater plunges into darker depths a short distance below. This cleft is called the " Fawn's Leap," a young deer having there escaped a hunter and his dog, that pursued to the verge of the chasm. The fawn leaped it ; but the dog, attempting to follow, fell into the gulf below and was drowned. The foiled hunter went home without dog or game. By some, less poetical than others, the place is called the " Dog Hole." A few rods below the Fawn's Leap the road crosses a rustic bridge, at the foot of a sheer precipice, and for half a mile traverses a shelf cut from the mountain side, two hundred feet above the stream that has found its way into depths so dark as to be hardly visible. Upon the opposite side of the creek, a perpendicular wall rises many hundred feet ; and then, in 33 Comer of Park Row and Beekman St., opp. City Hall Park, N. Y.

For their BOOK-ROOM they have procured large fonts of the most elegant faces which the skill and ingenuity of our Type-Founders can produce. They have also had cut to match their various faces those charac- ters which the advance of Science has rendered necessary to condense its formulas. They have furnished their JOB-ROOM ^^•ith the Choirest Types of our own Founders, and imported from France and Germany whatever of desirability their markets afforded. Their large fonts enable them to ''HUSH," a Book or Job through at a speed which their customers appreciate.

At the mouth of this cavernous gorge lies the pretty little village of Palensville, where we again cross the stream, and in a few moments find our- selves upon a beautiful and highly cultivated plain. From this point, along the base of the mountains to the road by which we enter them, or more directly to Catskill, the drive is a delightful one. 34 :- ^ o O •ssr J ;s3AS. puE qpojyf CU r-^ : : : : : 22 ; i i ; : t ; -:" •sssadxg S ^ ^8 : :f^' : : 82 ^ :i;5 ^u, . . xn . . oo O ;0 Xuuqiv ao ;:>?n^5>2-?r ^ y?^? r) N n (-1 « « M N D M N •ssaadx'j oST20iq3 .
