Marshall's Pillar.-It is matter of just surprize that so little has been said and written about the wild and picturesque scenery found in the western portions of Virginia. The amateur may here find united the wildness of highland with the sublimity of Alpine scenes. Were those regions better known, they would scarcely fail to become the favorite resort of the lovers of the grand and beautiful in na. ture, and it is probable would not be deemed inferior, in point of variety and sublimity of objects, to the scenery along the Hudson or the St. Lawrence. The most prominent as well stupendous object presented along the course of New River, is a cliff, few miles above the junction of that stream with Gauley river, and known as Marshall's Pillar, a name comemorative of the arduous and successful exploration of that stream by Chief Justice Marshall in 1812.
