THE DAILY EVENING TEIjEGKAPIT PHIL ADELrill A, TIIUKSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1870. ' LETTER FROM THE SEASIDE. "Prvttk an OwiWii1 krrepmdnt, Atlantic Citt, Aug. 17, 187a Mr Dear Teibokapb: It Is bo long since 'yon and I have had a chat together, that I beg yon will privilege me to say, without offense, lew impertinent and perhaps foolish things that we floating uppermost in my mind. I write yon from this cool and delighif nl "City by the Bea," into whose tranqnll enjoyments no disturbing element has entered. As I linger I hear of the flolrgfl at other sea-side places, and as I read bow in the glare and glitter of gas lights, and the flare and flatter of tallow dips, the "gay and festive" dance tbfir nights away, I wonder how, fleeing from the heat of a great city, they can find enjoyment and recreation in all this tomfoolery. I read of grand receptions and counter -receptions, where the "Star Spangled Banner" and "Dixie" alternate; Where brass buttons and brass bands dazzle the eye and deafen the ear; where distin guished and disinterested politicians, who would be esteemed patriots, spout long-winded, grand, ' eloquent reception speeches, meaningless as empty air, almost as sparkling and altogether as effervescent as the champagne taken before and after the mighty effort At times I have almost fancied f could hear the turmoil, where brass and balderdash were uppermost, where, amid flowing wine, seductive music, and the reeling dance, gallant men off and fair women on active duty mingled, and as I pondered over all, I almost began to doubt my judgment as against such a mighty army of revellers. Do I not belong to the school of Rip Van "Winkle drivellers, who, after waking from a long sleep, imagine every one moving in a wrong direction, and that the "times are ent of joint?' It may be so, and yet at tbe risk of a sneer I must make the honest confession that to my benumbed and old-fogy comprehension it would be much more rational to have all these receptions, dinners, and grand dances in tbe fall and winter, when they could bo enjoyed without requiring the constant attendance of physicians and coroners. Even the delightful strains of "Dixie" and "My Maryland" we will not name "Yankee Doodle" would sound sharper, sweeter, and clearer on the crisp breath of a November morning than amid toe swelter ing, breathless beat of July. Reasonable gayety and life are not only desi rable but delightful at our summer resorts. But when the heat is aggravated br late hours, wine, gas light, and exhaustive dancing, it becomes a wicked dissipation, alike destructive to health and happiness. Blessed are we who can turn our backs npon the exhaustive heat of the city for a sojourn in some cool mountain retreat, or by the breakers and amid the bracing air of the sea-coast, that our -wasted energies miy be recruited, and our health, mental and physical, restored. What we most need is quiet, whole some diet, proper exercise, cheerful conversa tion, good companionship, and reasonable en joyment of all kinds. The very opposite of all these you too often find are practised by very many Billy and, strange to say, some few, in other respects, sensible people. Late hoars, running into the "wee 6 ma'" ones of the morn ing, dancing to tbe verge of utter exhaustion, Intemperate and unnatural excitement, sus tained too often by artificial means, these are tbe sappers and miners that have destroyed, alas! many and many a promising future. I came here needing rest, and uuder the bracing effect of air and ocean I feel renewed and reinvigorated. To those who are fond of driving, the wide, gravelled avenues afford the finest earviage ways possible, equal to those at Long Branch. Tbe bathing near the Sea View House is as fine as any I have ever enjoyed. The atmosphere is dry and delightful, closely resembling that of Italy. The fishing, crab bing, and sailing are charming and yield a rich return in health and pleasure. I shall shortly take up the burden of life again and turn my face away from all these pleasant and delightful things, and I assure you it will be with regret. As one holds with tender pressure the hand of a departing friend, I linger regretful that I must Bay farewell to a place where the rich wine of pleasure and health has come' to me mingled in the same cup. Randolph. . ' maws guriiviAn.ir. City Affair An adjourned meeting of delegates of fire companies intending to participate in the reception of the McQuade Association and Engine No. 4 of Albany, N.

TUB WAR. LAST MGIIT'M DESPATCHES. THE ritt'SSIAN NATIONAL LOAN SCENES IN PARIS AND CHALONS NAVAL MOVEMENTS FBENCH BLOCKADE OF THE PRUSSIAN SEA BOABD GENERAL LE BC3UF GENERAL SHERI DAN AND THE GERMAN ARMY. Special to the N. Y. Tribune. London, Aug. 17. A correspondent writes from Berlin on Sunday that tbe attempt to raise a national loan of 120,000,000 thalers has broken down. Up to yesterday the subscription reached 50,000,000 only, but this loan did not pre tend to offer a chance of favorable invest ment. As yet there is no prospect of Prussia imitating the example of France, and stop ping the conversion of notes of the Bank of Prubsia. There is no run on the Bank but what the actual shortness of the money mar ket has produced. Of want of confidence there are nowhere any symptoms. A special correspondent writes from Cha lons on Sunday, that ten thousand wounded are being brought into camp. The town and camp present scenes of disorder and dissipa tion. The soldiers are shouting, and the drinking cafes and streets are filled with prostitutes, and there is no restraint of order or decency among the officers or soldiers. If another battle is lost it will be a massacre. Disturbances in Paris have unsettled the Garde Mobile, half of whom would break away and return in case of revolution. The regular army is still true to the Emperor, but nobody else. The advance of the Prussians beyond Metz is known, but a great force will remain there. . The same correspondent writes that the Pont-a-Mousson affair was serious. Six or seven trains were started from Cha lons for Metz in rapid succession, carrying out 7000 soldiers near Pont-a-Mousson. They found the railway cut, and the Prussian ar tillery opened on the trains, which moved back as rapidly as possible, but a panic began, and though only two men were killed, many jumped from the trains while moving rapidly. The trains finally got away without much loss. Londpn, Aug. 17. Despatches received to day at the Prussian embassy here confirm the Prussian successes on Sunday, but do not throw much light on 'subsequent events. Our special correspondent writes from Ham burg on Sunday that the second division of the French fleet was seen twenty miles west southwest of Heligoland, Bteering east. The German fleet at Cuxhaven and Wil helm shaven put to sea, and cannonading has since been heard. French, delays are unac countable. They might have taken Cuxha ven, completely commanding the entrance to the Elbe, but it is now well fortified. PRUSSIA. Berlin, Aug. 17. Another Prussian note divulging certain negotiations of France is published to-day. Its contents are similar to those of the documents already made public. Saarbruck, Aug. 17.

Portsmouth, Aug. 17. The funeral of Admiral Farragut, held in this city, .was at tended by a larger concourse of people than ever before assembled in this State for a simi lar occasion. The weather was clear and cool. At an early hour people began to come in from the surrounding country. OwiBg to the late arrivals of the trains from Boston, which brought large numbers of officers of the army and navy, as well as men of note in civil life, the cortege did not leave the navy yard until past 11 o'clock. It left the residence of Commodore Pennock, escorted by the marine corps of this naval station and Charlestown, and a detachment of United States troops, and was brought to the navy yard landing in this city by the United States steamer Speedwell. Here they were joined by the Head Guards of Manchester. The remains were inclosed in an elegant metallic coffin, heavily laden with flowers, and were borne on the bier from the steamer by ten seamen from the United States receiving ship Vandalia, and placed in the hearse, which then took its place in the procession. On either side walked pall-bearers, twelve in pnmber, officers of the army and navy, viz.: Bear-Admiral Thatcher, Commodore Steadman, Commodore Badger, Captains Par rott and Wild, Paymaster Watson, the Sur geon of the Vandalia, Chief Engineer McCaully, the commander of the Marine Corps of Boston, General McDowell, and General Foster. The procession was formed as follows: The officiating clergymen and surgeons pre ceding the remains of the honored dead, then a double line of carriages, containing Mrs. Farragut and her son, ex-Secretaries Welles and Fex, Senators Cragin, Patterson, and Wilson, General Banks, and many dignitaries. Following these came a line of nearly a mile in length, consisting of seamen of the United States navy and officers of the army, officers of the Society of the Army and Navy of the Gulf, Grand Army of the Republic, the Fire Department of this city, societies of Odd Fellows and Masons of this city, mem bers of the press, the city govern ment, the Collector of the Port, and officers of the customs of this city and Bos ton, State officials of this and other States, foreign officers and members of Congress, ex-Senators and members, with ex-Governors of several States, and citizens on foot and in carriages. Se much time was consumed in organizing the long line that it was nearly l'iiO o'clock before the head of the procoasion reached the churoh. A dense crowd of people, on foot and in carriages, filled all the streets along the line of the procession. All the publio buildings were draped, and also most places of business and many pri vate residences. During the hour which was consumed in forming the' procession and marching to the church, all the bells in the city tolled, and minute guns were bred from the navy yard and Government ships in the harbor. Ail business was suspended throughout the city, and the Government buildings were closed. St. 'John's EniscoDal Church, where the funeral service was held, was draped in an appropriate manner. There were festoons on the communion table, which held a beautiful cross three feet high, on either side of which was a large bouquet. The religious exercises at the church were the ceremonies of the Episcopal service, and were conducted by Rev. 11. W. Clark, assisted by Rev. Dr. Mont gomery, of New York. lhe singing was by a quartette of gentle men. After the close of the burial service, which was read by Dr. Montgomery, tbe quartette sung the hymn "Jesus, Saviour of my soul," etc. Dr. Montgomery then made a brief address to the mourners and congregation. lhe servioes were concluded by Rev. Dr. Clark. There was an immense crowd outside, un able to get within hearing distance of the church, but who patiently waited until the remains were brought and placed in the tomb, which opens from the street just north of the church. The usual rites of the Epis copal service were observed, Masonic honors were paid, and three volleys were fired by the military escort, when the last earthly re mains of Admiral Farragut were laid away.
