' CORRESPONDENCE. , LETTER FROM NAHANT. . . . ( [Correspondence of The Press .J ( f » Naiiavt, August!?, 1867. Dear Sir : When one attempts writing a latter from a, watering place in dog days, the natural in* terenco LS, either that the place is really dull; or elsejthe e'acDßthn tcribevdi amounts to a mania. This oase_ has a new’element. ThePrtESs must be 'malnialnbd in its omnissiont character. ' You. should j khow that the echos of the r -rboky Nahant have beeh “wakened in his praise, and the re verba-, rations are sweeping from the eastward, wViohwel come hjm back to his ancient vocation. In abort, -the Press has made a sensation among the gay and grave who snuff those sea breezes. I cad too my copy In a daily tour among tho fair and wise, flitting from hand to hand, while expectant succes sors stand anxiously awaiting their turn to - read the best daily of this Olympiad. • l - It is not neoossory to describe Nahanfc —Philadel- phians have been hero before, and are now hero, giving grace to the salons and adding the charms .of esprit and learning to the conversation circles around the hotel. The sea breezes which sweep ! around our peninsula bring refreshing coolness; and the regular Nahanters, clothed in cloth coats, as ! they greet the linen-dad steamboat passengers, from Poston, remark with an air of pity, “ Very hot in Boston to-day, Is it not ?” j*' Wo have plenty of'the usual amusements of a 1 watering place, as well as many which are peculiar I to Nabant. The drives upon a narrow beach three !. miles long, connecting this peninsula with the main ‘ land, with tho ocean on both sidcsof you to temper the atmosphere, have a charm which nono can know but those who have participated. The sailing j and fishing require no reminder. We are not without enjoyments that partake of a graver n&turo. An established succession of dis tinguished olergymeu of Boston, of various de nominations, alternately lead tho worship at the little church and strivo to reoal the hearts of its fashionable congregation to the highest duties of life. Yesterday a sermon from the Rev. Dr. Vin ton, ft( St. Paul's, abounding in that mystic elo jqqenoo thptmade the imagination of Paul chnrm ,the Roman Praetors. To-day, two holy women of fry TfyioK gome brands from the burning, pud to*iu«rron, ay, to-morrow, the' loaf turns, and tho beautiful Miss Eloiso Bridges, uho bus como hero not unheralded by fame, is to charm us with dramatic readings. The stage has its moralists at Nahnnt who have held the mirror up to nature with success. Mrs. Fanny ICemblo inhabits oao of tho cottages; Miss Davenport resides with her mother at a pretty cottage in Lyn n, immediately opposite Nahanf. On Saturday evening Mr. John Brougham, the dis tinguished author und' comedian, favored us by reading one of his own drama’s, “All's Pair in liove.” Tho literary merit and clever points of the comedy made a great impresrionon tho audiences, but the style of reading was not equal to that fun and mirthful imitation which has made him so suc cessful an actor. Apropos, B. has just olosed a most prosperous and successful engagement at the How ard, in Boston. The conclusion of the regatta, at Now Bedford, was followed by a temporary dispersion of the yacht squadron. Besides the Volante and other eastern yaohts, several of the Now York yachts have found their way into our bay; the Starlight and the Argo of the fleet, the Wanderer, have alike been seen from N&bant bond os with snowy wings they swept along the glad waters. The Wanderer spent several days in these waters giving to tho nau tical connoisseurs of Boston and Gloucester, capital occasions for admiring and reporting on her fine model, the exquisite finish of her cabins, aud the capital tuisint whioh threw a golden sunshine over tho fun and wit of the amateur blue jaokots, who were making their first essays on Yankee ood&sh and maokorel. Colonel John son may well bo congratulated that he has succeeded in putting afloat the largest and finest yacht which ever graced these waters. We admired her from the Nahant Hotel as she glided past on her watery way, and participated in the universal regret that the threatening prospects of the weather debarred him from anchoring in the cove and affording an opportunity for a closer in spection. Wo have looked also for the Soadrift, bat alas, in vain; the charms of Cape Cod have been fatal to her spirit of unrest for this season. A letter from a waterlog-place would be no letter at all, unless the bops, beauties, and notables were all duly recorded, and yet I feel thoroughly un equal to a just performance of this part of the duty. I have laugbod at the wit of John Phoenix, Esq., who, with his interesting family, have been amusing themselves for some weeks here. I have talked “fish 15 'with the great amateurs, Mr. M——, of New York, and Mr. 0 ,of Troy; have watched the neat equipages of tho fashion* &bleB, and the fast horses of the fast young men— enjoyed tho merry laugh of the youthful belles, and the voluble chat of tho dignified matrons, as they lounge over a Into breakfast, after their husband’s matinal to the city or the fish banks; but not on this occasion can I attenuate my epistle by comments on the lights and shadows of their boauty and gentility. Should I praise those who morit It, tho rest would gnaw the UDfortunates with the teeth of slander. Fashion is a fierce democra cy, whose decrees are made in darkness and exe cuted without a pardoning power; its ostracism roaches alike those who are too good, and those who are too bad. Your correspondent, like Touch stone, would be politlo with his friends, and is therefore Silest. FROM MONTGOMERY COUNTY (Correspondence of The Press, j Limerick, Montgomery C 0..) August 24, 1857. j A letter from tho country—X he God-mado, luxu riant couutry ! a lottor from old Montgomery— never-failing, Democratic Montgomery! and withal, a letter from the domicil of your correspondent’s ohildhood—may not be altogether unacceptable to the readers of The Press. Tho season through which the country has just passed has been one of marvellous beneficence. Its matronly beauty still wears a spring-like hue. ’Tls true, “ its flowery spring” bus passed, the days of ‘ l its trammer's ardent strength” ure fast drawing to a oloso, yot it shows uot even the incipient marks of “ Its sober autumn fodhg into ago.” Tho mead still luxuriates bonuath a waving velvet of living green, the rustling corn shows no premonitory wilt of its ripening age, and the flow ers of tho garden vie In their matchless hues with the spring-like verdure of the dewy lawn. The sunny smile of a bounteous Providence seems to rest upon the whole, as if to challenge the tardy gratitude of man for blessings thus lavishly be stowed. This is no fanoy sketch. In more inatoncos than one have I been told within the past fow days, by men who bavo grown gray as tillers of the soil, that tho present season, in their memory of the past, stands without a parallel. Most sig nally, too, has it so t at nought the croaking of gru m %ling prophets; prophets, who, from early spring through all the interval till now, have been prog nosticating “evil ahead!” Whether the folly of this ungrateful distrust in the ways of providence will, bo,permanently silenced in tho exhibition of the proaont season, of course remains for the future to reveal. To citizens who are not familiar with the usual strain of this agricultural faultfinding, a brief reference to its main characteristics during ih'tl present 1 fieasoh-*-especlallyeinco it has bienxme alikoVtfta-rfroMnita indications and in its results may aotlbe amte&u < t r • -i ..i ■ -i < m 'As. alL.djriJl remember, .what is.

Finally, tho rains ceased. The season was unusu ally late, to be sure, but considering the lateness of its commencement , tho grass had even then,but arrived at a proper age. The grass, during this interval of delay, slack ened not its growth, but was merely reaching an e&sentia] maturity, without which its quality would have half been sacrificed. ' Millions of additional tons of hay aro admitted.to have been tho result of.this inter-, position. The grain harvest, of course, was cor respondingly late, but it hae : been gathered at last, not only in unequalled abundance as to bulk in the strata, but equally prolific in its yield of grain to the number of sheaves; and the quality is excellent. The second crop of grass is now ready for the soythe, and has, in fact, in many places already baon commenced. Its abundanoo will be proportionately as great as tho first. Corn fields are like young forests. The stocks are tall and massive, ,thp broad linear blades fojip an almost ■ winniDtrabhriaino, slnt r*rrr -fn-mr I tnmir , i init «.LT well graiued; and, as the earth is now well saturated with moisture, tho protection of shade afforded to tho root, together with tho natural for niation of this plant to secure the benefits of dew, renders all danger of future drought well nigh im possible. Fruits of all kind, thus far, have been also abundant, and those of later development are equally promising; so that, taken all in all, this season may well be said to be one of unprecedented abundance. And now, in view of all this, how vain and un grateful has been tbe solicitude of men ! The lateness of spring was tortured iutoabaleful with holding of the Almighty's goodness; the con tiuuance of rain was productive of a fear thatcrops would be ruined by an abortive luxuriance; and the frustration of this ealculation waa followed by tbe equally confident prediction that excessive drought would oertainly blight »\\ the later crops— a prediction bnsed, of oourse, upon tbe doctrine of ■meteoric retaliation. But in the beneficence of Omnific Goodness all these signs have failed , and our favored country to-day, throughout her borders, presents a specta cle of agricultural productivenesses-tainlyequaljDg any one of the seven productive years of Pharaoh’s vision. How far this fact should go towards re buking the almost universal croaking about “crop failures,” by a people who have never yet known from experience what such a failure means, I leave every Christian reader to decide for him self. This much, however, wo may glean as a moral , that it is sadly ominous of tho ungrateful pro clivities of our fallen nature. That the foregoing reflections may constitute an humble tribute to the beacon whioh the press and the pulpit should everywhere strive to elevate as a guide for our meditations, is the siuoere desire of your absent GKaYßfiano. THE CAMPAIGN IN THE WEST (Correspondence of The Press.] GnEEXSBURO, Pa., Aug. 25,1857. Mv nxan Forxev: The political campaign has opened In Westmoreland by a large meeting of the Democracy, held last night In tho court-house— tho venerable Col. Guffey in tho chair. J. H. Cal houn, Esq., of Armstrong, one of our candidates for Assembly, opened in an addre'w and defined his position. He was followed by our own distinguished and cloqueut oltizen, William A. Stokes, Esq., whose powerful logic and Irresistible appeals to the sound sense of all honest men hold the audience in pro found attention for more than an hour. It was a speech which ought not to be lost—original incon ception, conclusive in argument, clothed in ohasto language, and delivered with the dignity and can dor of a true patriot. , Jacob Turney, Esq., candidate for the State Senate, next inQde a soul-stirring appeal to the audience. Our people are all right, and you may roly on a good nccount from Old Westmoreland. Wo hare made up our minds to go on until we give the old standard majority of 2,300, and this will not be very long. Wilmot is to speak here to-wotrow. Stokes cut out work enough for him last uight lo keep him hero some time, if ho undertakes to answer his ar gument. For twelve years I have uniformly voted tho Democratic ticket without a scratch, but!pro mised to vote for Wilmot if bo could successfully attaok anyone of the positions taken by Stokes in bis last grout speech. Mac. Charles Fenno Hoffman, the Poet-Ills Insane Fancies. [From the Harrisburg, (Pa.) Herald, August 18. ) Evory visiter of Intelligence who enters the Asy lum culls to see Hoffman. He receives them all with a hearty greeting, will oak them to sup and drink with him, and when they leave invito them to “call ofton.” On the last occasion that wo saw him, after sitting in his cell and indulging iu a pleasapt chat—no, not pleasant, for the looting of his condition prevonted this—he ordered at seve ral times somo of his fellows to fetch wiuc uud glasses. They would just stare at him, and he would seem to forgot it, until suddonly the order would be repeated and again forgotten. He gene rally labors under the idea that hi* plaoe oxcon finemont is a garrison, of which he U the com mander, and is only prevented from enjoying the outside by advloe of his physicians. He will frequently endeavor to prevail on the superinten dent to grant tho liberty to roam through the country for a while, and when this Is refused will submit quietly. Hoffman wears a cocked hat con tinually, and walks with ft cane. His appearance beurs the mark of eacentrioity and genius, but the former may md have been the ease before his in sanity. Ills voice is clear, commanding, but still cheerful. The venerable Chief Justice Taney, who some six weeks ago went to the Fauquier White Sulphur Bprings at Warrenton, Va., in a debilita ted condltion/la said to be now in tho enjoyment of excellent health and spirits, and looking bettor than he has for tho l&st fifteen years.

Having said thus much in reference to the public Sentiment of - the South, I desire* very briefly to state the causes which have induced this universal feeling. Vo went into, the last Presidential con .test upon the almost solitary issue of the princi piea of equality and popular sovereignty embodied iu the Kansas law. By and through that second Declaration of Independence, the hitherto disfran chised Booth was to enjoy equal rights in the Terri tories. The stigma upon the Constitutions of Ten nessee, and Kentucky, and Virginia, and the other Southern Statee, was removed, and the people of these States were informed that they were as free to cany into new Territories the Constitutions and Jaws under which they had been born, as were the peoplo' of Haw England to transplant the Consti tutions of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Free from Congressional oontrol, and by necessary im plication from executive interference, the people were to frame their own Constitutions, in con formity with their own Unbiased wishes, The j South, under ail the disadvantages of her position, I frankly aooepted the terms, and aimost by .the ac ' olamation of her people elected Mr. Baohanan to tho Presidency upon this issue. The Southern peo plo did not ask that tho Executive of Kansas should interfere in their behalf—they did not even desire it; but was it unreasonable, under the cir goißatoryas-that they should doaandhixriaritnilitul and insist that be shouitThot throw tho’wpight Cl his official position in the soale against them ? It is sufficient for my purpose,without pausing to investigate the force and tendenoy of each par ticular word or act, to show that the spirit of Gov. Walker’s whole polioy has been, ab initio, indirect eonfliot with the spirit of the Kansas law.and that, so far as he was capable, {under the operation of causes which it is not my design to investigate,) he hta used his official position to the direct purpose oi forcing Kansas into the Union as a free State. Upon the appointment of Gov. Walker various givings-out of his Secretary, of himself, and or the press supposed to he in his confidence, created an uneasy feoling in the publie mind of the South, and a vague though general impression that a treooherons application of the powers inci dent to his position was within the scope of his designs. Day by day these impressions gained strength. The Washington Union soon startled the pnblio by the announcement of a dis covery, that the real purpose of the Republican party was to force Kansas into the Union as—what ? A Slave State ! This being taken for granted, it waa unquestionably the wish of the Southern De mocracy to do the same thing; and with two Buoh powerful parties combined for the same purpose, how could they fail of snneeesl Did tho Union desire to create the impression that Governor Walker canid avert suah a calamity ? Arid waa it the purpose, even at this early period, to lay a foundation for the bestowal of the rewards and the oredit upon Governor Walker as the real champion of 1 ‘fret Kansas ?” In short, was it not & clear foreshadowing, an authoritative, premonition of tho new tactics to by introduced into Kaneas, and an effort to throat the Republicans from their position, by charging them with insincerity of purpose, in order that room might be made for the real champion of freedom in the person of Governor Walker? But let us , now consider the reason assigned by the Union for tho assumed opposition of the Republican party to allowing Kansas to come into the Uuioa as a free State. On tho brief sentence referred to, hinges not only tbe policv within the contemplation of the newly appointed Governor of Kansas, but the justification and apology for that policy. The reason assigned for Republican opposition to the introduction of Kansas into the Union as a free State was, that that party did sot desire to giro peace to the country, and (tho Union goes on to de clare) they know that the only way to give peace to the country is to bring Kansas into the Union \ as a free State ! Thus was clearly foreshadowed the purpose which Governor Walker desigued to accomplish. His subsequent official nets correspond with the programme a a arranged and proclaimed iu the Union. He goes to Kansas upon his mission of be nevolenoe, to “give peace to that disturbed Terri tory,” and wo have his antecedent declaration, that “Mo only means'" of accomplishing this coveted end is “to bring Kansas into the Union as a free State.” As a salvo to the wounded pride of tbc Southern people, and as another apology for his conduct, be tells them in effect that they bavo no business there—that tbe soil and clim&to are not adapted to slave labor, and that Nature and Nature’s God are with him, uud cannot bo successfully resisted. To make assurance doubly sure, he issues his mandate to tho Constitu tional Convention, imperiously demanding, under pain of hla personal and official displeasure, that tboir Constitution shall be submitted in such manner and to such people us he may dictate. It is not necessary to discos the abstract merits of Gov. Walker’B instructions to tho Constitutional Convention, bocauso these have no relevauoy to the question at issue; and the fact that hta supporters have boen compelled to adopt this line of defence proves that upon tho real subject of controversy they can mako no defeuae. It is a virtual admis sion that no defence can be made, and is in fact an abandonment of the very principle which under lies tho Kansas law. Tho argumentin brief is this: Gov. Walker’s views and opinions are cor rect and right in themselves; therefore, it is right for Gov. Walker to attempt to enforce them. Upon the same principle, with equal propriety, aud with far more consistency, tho Republicans contrud that it Is abstractly right to make Kansas a free State; therefore, it is the right, as well as the duty of Congress, to make it so All that I mesa to de clare Is, that Gov. Walker has violated the spirit of the Kansas law, and that his almost undisguised purpose has been to adopt such a line of policy as would accomplish the introduction of Kansas into the Union as a free State. Without entering further into details with which the whole public is familiar, I ask you in all frank ness, Is this tho feast to which the South was invited’ Is this off that they had a right to expect? Are, theta the legitimate fruits of their successful efforts to win a glorious victory for tbe National Democ racy? Remember, that we asked no solitary ad vantage over even our Black Republican foes. We asked no interference tn our favor from Con gress or tbqExecutive. Even in the flush of vio tory, we only wld, “Give to every section an equal chance, but do not coat the weight of executive in fluence against us, and we are content to abide the Police to^ccbrmpokdbsts.

If jfabibl«,'he has failed still more signally here than with his adversaries. Ha has been the instrument of much mischief to the only national party in the Union and the proper course for that party to pursue is to repudiate and his acts. Let us all, North and South, replace ourselves upon the great national platform, from which we have, for the moment, been jostled by Governor Walker. Let as again re-affirtn the doe trine which allows the rights of sovereignty to the people. Let us submit the question of slavery in the new States, and-aU others, pow and in ail time to come, to the supreme will of the qualified citlsens of the Territories, without interference, either on the part of Congress v 6r the' Executive. Let us again join hands npoh a declaration of, and an.unfiinching determination to adhere in good faith to, those broad, catholic, gation&l principles which carried- tu triumphantly through the last perilous -crisis. of the nation. Thus may we tri umph over sectionalism, and thus alone can the Democracy maintain its title to the proud distine lion of being, what it in truth is, the great na tional conservative party of the Repv&lic ! The Booth has full and implicit confidence in the loyalty and good faith of the Northern Democracy. Nay, more: I hare an abiding confidence, that when the subject of slavery is more thoroughly under stood, and when 'the passions engendered by the fanaticism, the jealousies, and the prejudices of the hour, have given place to sober reflection, a more matured judgment, and a stronger fraternal regard for the citizens of the South, that the ranks of the Democracy in the North will be swelled by vast accessions from tho body of those who are now .arrayed in hostile attitude against ca. But we should at all times thoroughly understand each other, and correct in. time any mischief likely to arise oat of a misconception on the part of either. We can stand together in practice os well os theory upon the platform of equality, and the attempt to occupy any other position, or to evade thezeipoa- Ability incident thereto, will at the best only sab* hopes, out in Uxfi end chief. I have not presented the proof of Governor Walker’s disloyalty to the principle* of t3e party, as a lawyer would hare prepartd a o*a* in submit ting it to a jury, but having stated the. general points indicative of his purposes, I have assumed, as granted, what all know, and about which intelli gent minds can arrive at hut one conolarion. How- ever conflicting may be the views entertained iu regard to the abstract merits of Walker's coarse u the chief Executive of Kansas, ell candid observ ers will agree that I have not snieesueeiTid hit evident designs nor aUsUutd bis policy. Southern people, jealous of their rights and of their honor, asking no concessions , and conceding no advaK £ hgest could not do otherwise thou condemn, where it would have bees so much more gratifying to ap prove. The South must maintain her present attitude. To concede snore would be destruction. In the Union we live as it were in a gl-sa house, while our adversaries cast their missiles under the pre tention of impregnable ramparts. While occupy ing our present attitude, we are necessarily tbruwn upon the defensive; we are powerless to commit rotaliative aggressions upon our enemies. We could not, if wo would, cast back the firebrand which would “oommit cor dwellings to the flames,” or arouse the dormant passions of a servile and degraded race, to make desolate your homes,” and to “pollute your hearths tense.” Under such circumstances, how necessary, and, at the same time, how natural, that we should vigilantly guard tho outposts of our defences; thus ho should waich, with jealous care, any effort to impair or evade o«r conceded rights, and that wo should frankly but earnestly ask our northern friends, and cue conser vators of the Union everywhere, to extend their necessary aid to the preservation, in letter spirit, of our right* under the Constitution. I have an abiding faith that perzaveranco .in such a line of policy will in the ead triumph, even in the South; and that the principle of equality of rights of all tho sections of tbe Union, firmly main tained and adhered to, in every conceivable emer gency, by the conservative people of the North, will perpetuate to the remotest posterity the bless ings of our great Confederacy of :reo States and free people. Respectfully yours, A tSOUTHEU.VFX. Interesting Wedding Party--.VJarriage of Two Mutes by a Mute Ciergvman, [From the Louisville Jcurual.J Iu the city of Lexington, on the evening of Au gust sth, was witnessed auch a wedding party and such a marriage ceremony as perhaps never oc curred in the United States, certainly not in the State of Kentucky. Mr John Blount, tho bride groom, is a deaf mute, who woe brought up in Ala bama, but received his education at the Kentucky Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, at Danville, where he is at present an accomplished and hi jhly esteemed instructor. Ho is a tail and specimen of a man, and is a gentleman in every sense of the word. Miss Lueretia Ann Hoagland, tho bride, is also a deaf mute. She was educated iu the institution at Danville, and would pass for a beautiful and accomplished lady in any circle of society. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hoagland, the parents of tho bride, at whoso house the marriage took place, are aico both of them deaf mutes lhey re ceived their education some twenty-five or tnirty years since at the same institution. They have threo other children—two of whom hear and talk; their Youngest, a little boy of nine years old, is, like tbe bride, a mute, and expects before long to fj to the same institution, to obtain that inoitima le blessing—a good education—which his father, bis mother, and sister have received before him. There were also present, as invited quests, some twelve or fifteen educated mutes, all of them pre sent or (ormor pupils of the above-named institu tion. ~ The attendant of tbe bride, Miss Mary B-iyd, from Harrison county, was as modest, bcautiiul, and elegantly dressed a lady as adorns any draw ing-room. She was formerly a class-mate of the bride. Other young ladies who were mutes, were present, who attracted marked attention by their personal charms as well as by their superior in telligence. Younggentlemen, also, were not want ing, of fine appearance, education, and manners, to leud interest to the occasion. In addition to the mutes who were present, were others who, from intercourse with the family of the bride or in some other way, had become familiar with the lan guage, so that the conversation of the evening was held chiefly in the beautiful pantomime of the deef and dumb. But that which, perhaps, gave the most peculiar interest to tho occasion was the faot that urn mar riage ceremony was celebrated in the sign language of the deaf and dumb! The officiating otargyraon was the Rev. S. B. Cheek, Vice Principal of our Hate Institution at Danville. Not a word su heard during the whole ceremony—the prayer, the propounding of tbe marriage covenant the bene diction. and the blessing of the marriage fewt, were all performed in the graceful and eloquent, though voiceless language of nature, which may be termed the vernacular of the deaf and dumb. The mates who wore present all testiiied their pe culiar delight, saying tboy had often witnessed marriages oefore, but had sever understood whet was actually said and done until this oocariou. It was, taken altogether, emphatically a mat* fes tival, in which all parties present were delighted, and which furnished a most striking exemplifies tion of what has been done and can be dose for the unfortunate mute. Attorney General Black has gone on a visit to Bedford Springs to remain a week.
