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.

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

FUNERAL OBSEQUIES OF THB GREAT NAVAL
' HERO IMMENSE CONCOURSE bF MOURNERS
THE PROCESSION TRIBUTES OF RESPECT, ETC.
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.
