J Tbe size of the trains which arrived at this place on Saturday afternoon abandant ptoot of the fact that Atlantic City not oily hold. Iti own In the appreciation of the heat-oppressed people of Pailsdelphla, but that H Is making steady stride in popularity The two o'clock express train consisted of fourteen cars, while tie traia was made up of we aty-two, each train requiring two locDmo Uvea to drag H through the sandy wastes ol Jersey, all told there were two thousand people on board, exclusive of children ot olminutlve size. Before this immense arrival, all the lead ing hotels were well filled up, and when the two thousand travel stained and sun.-prched jo en and women were scattered according to their proclivities tn tate and purse, the- stran gling village by the sea was as populous as any thorough hater of solitude could desire. If any one perton among these two thousand iad cause to regret the transfer from Pbilaicl phia. hot, dars. and bustling, to Atlantic City, ool, refreshing, and rejuvenating, the cause o complaint can be aligned only to a disordered pu,.Hnn or a chronic state of dissatlsiactlon -lib things terrestrial in general. The contrst between Philadelphia at two by the clock and Atlantic City at four, was startling. On Friday the god people of the former could breathe the br ath of life without experiencing the sensation which Dante has conceived to be the very acme of torture. But Saturday, with the mercury a, 92 dep., was a veritable dog-day, suggestive o bjdtopbobia and a gradual disintegration ol the human sjstem. From the torture ot this oppres sive heat two thousand enviable creatures es caped to a locality where 74 deg. was the htghe&t record of Fahrenheit at any time during the Iay. And yesterday was but a copy ot faturday, with a delightfal ocean breeze, and a surf that has not been and could not well be surpassed. In such a surf the bathing could not ba otherwise than de lightful. A rough-and-tumble combat with the bieakers under such circum9taacea was me consummation of earthly joys in troth, a seeming entrance upon those of a higher order. On Saturday evening, when the ocean was no longer attractive, save to a lew sojourners at its shore who have listened to its whisperings and obeyed Its behests at the hour when Cuina is in the lull Rlare of the noon day sun, thera were Other attractions for the thrones or happy people without any other 'thought than thatot killing time. At the United 8ta.es Hotel a Promenade Cor cert and Hop was in progress, and served to attract a large and brilliant com pny. The dancing, like the bathing, was good, but from a different reason. It was entered into with all the eagerness and -earnestness which is Imparted to the most slothful by the inviRoration of salt water and ocean breezes, fiimea Hastier, whose band is on permanent duty at this establishment, conducted the musi" eat part of the extrcises, aud found the wrenchlne of melody ironi strings and trum. pets a much eat-ier task than it would have been in the peut-ap orchestra ot the Walnut Street Theatre. At the Surf House there was likewise a hop of the most enjoyable tort. Tue musical genius of this establihment is Carl Scutz, whose ac knowledge! ability as one of the very first professors of the art divine is a sufficient guarantee of ita high aud classical character Mr.. Scutz is located here with an efficient bind for the season, aud hw efforts, which are re peated every evening for several hours, are appreciated at their true standard. On Situr day evening next, the successful experiment of latt evening at the United States Hotel, a grand dress ball, will be repeated at the urf House, under Mr. Sentz's management, and will doublles be equally successful. The Surf House is bow in the second month of Its new manage ment. Mr. R. R. Thompson, Us present head, is not a stranger to the frequenters of the sea side. For fourteen years he was identified with Congrets Hall, at Cape Island, and during the entire period of the war was in charge of the Me tropolitan Hotel, at Washington. With this long and varied experience he certainly should have acquired, in all its details, the art of "keeping a hotel," and the sojourners at the Burf. House have no cause to think that he has neglected his opportanilies. Tarryine in this delightful temperature, aud yielding to the drowsy iuflueuce of this sea breeze, would be an enviable way in which to pass the summer. Happy is he who can doit, But uo such happiness is in store for your re fretful correspondent, Omikron. DISASTER.

From tue Trentou G axel It of this morulus: At out a quarter betore 8 o'clock on Saturday evening, an alarm ot bre wai rang tor tne State Prison. As tbe report spread throughout the citj that tbe prinon was on bre, tbc excitement became intense, and in tna course ol an hour thousands ot the people bad usiieaibled in the. vicinity of that uiafsive editice. I'be vacaut lo'.s on Seeond strtet, immediaiely in the rear ot the pneon, were literally packed with excited people, and the lurid flumes and den volum of nni ke risins ubovt the ploomy walls pre sented a bci ne of terrible graudeur.

Wteu tbe enelnes arrived there was consider able ditliculiy experienced about havlue lree access to aud trum the prison, and a consequent nn oriunate delay iu ueiiing ilielr engines iu;o service. When the doors were opened there was such a tremendous crowd stand uisr re ily to rusb iu that the keepers became alaimeil Jor the satsly of the prisoner, and. lor a time i-kut the doors axainst tha eutrance of any more pergous, een excluding the firemen. Another d i flics It y was experienced lu nany of the Qr.meu not being equipped, and beinr refused admittance on that account.

Whether it was dooe by mends of tbe prisoner to effect bis release, and the flumes cut ott his escape and prevented tbem from reaching him. or whether it wait done by some person in revenge tor his crime, can onlv be conjectured. There is no person in the vuiuity upon whom any suspicion rests, an l tbe whole affair is surrounded iu mvstery. It was a terrible retribution ior a fcarjul crime. FOURTH EPITlOfl ANOTHER VETO.

Washington, July 20. The President to-day sent the following message to the Senate: To tbe Senate of tbe United S ates I have given to the joint rer-olutlon, entitled "A reso lution exclud-ug from tbe Kleciorai College the votes ot States lately in- Rebellion, which ebail not bave been reorganized," as caret ul an exaniuation as I bave been able to bestow upon the Fubject during tbe lew days tbat bave 11 icrvened since tne measure was suomutel for my npyrov-1. Freling coustiaiued to withhold my assent, I berewl h return tbe n soluiiou to Ihe (Senute, iu which House it origina ed, with a bi let statement of tbe reasons which have induced my action. This joint resolution Is based upon the as sumptiou tbat some ot tho States whose peoole weie la ey in ReDi liion are not uov eutitled to "representation m Congress and to partictpate In tbe election of President and Vice-President (J the United Htutes. Having heretofore had occasion to give in detail my reasgxs ior dissent ing Horn tins view, it is cot necessary at this time to repeat them. It is sufficient to state that I con.inne strong in my couvi-Hion; that tbe acts 01 secession by wl ich a number ot tne States sought to dhsnlve their connection with tbe other Slates, and to subvert tho U-Kn, being unauthorized by the-Constitution and in direct violation thereof, were from the begin nina absolutely null ai d void. It follows, necessarilv, tbat when the Rebel lion terminated, tbe several States wblcti nd attenptcd to secede continued to be States In the Union, and all that was required to enable tbem to retume their relations to the Union was tbat they should adopt measures necessary to their pracical restoration as Slates. Suoh meaxuies were adop'ed, and the legitimate result was-ihat thoe States, having couiormed to all tbe required. ents of tae Constitution, resuned their former relations, and became entitled to the eercle of all the rights guaran teed to tbrm by its provisions. Tbe joint lesolution under consideration, how ever, seems to ast-nme tbat by the insurrection ary acts ot tbelr respective inhabitants these Rtates forfeited their rights as sucb, aud can never auain exercise them except upou readmis sion into tbe Union on the terms presented oy C neresp. Jf this position be correct it follows tbat tbey are taken out of the Union jj virtue of their acts ot secession, and hence that the war waged upon tb -m wa illegal and unconsti tutional. We would thus be plaocd In the inconsistent attitude that while the war was commenced and carried on on tbe distinct ground thtt the Soathern State, being component parts ot tbe Union, aere in lebelhon agamst tbe lawful authority of the United States, noon Its termtaatioa, we retort to a policy of reconstruction, which as sumes tbat it was in fact a rebll on, but that the war was waged tor tie conquest ot territo ries assumed to be out ot tbc Constitutional Union. Tbe mode and manner In receiving and count ing the electoral vo es 'or President and Vine, rresident ol the United States, are iu plain and simple terms, pi escribed by tho Constitution. FORTIETH CONGRESS SEC0!Sa SESSION. Ssaaie. Washington, July 20. Mr. Van Winkle called up the b II iciHtive 10 pr-U'-ious, which was pulsed.
