NINETY-FIVE IN THE SHADE
There has been "a hot spell" for several
weeks, and we have scarcely once alluded to
it. The intensity of Summer heat which has
lately prevailed has variously affected various
people. Some bear it with- patient resigna
tion, others complain loudly. As many as
can quietly remain at home, the rest, who
must be up and stirring, wander up and down
the streets, deluding themselves with the idea
that they are doing business, and wondering
at themselves, ovary now and then, for having.

an excellent-institution as cold Winter.% Of
course, when Winter comes, they will cast
back a regretful glance at the very "Subliner
heat which now annoys them, which may be

of humanity.
At this moment, the time being midday, and
the locality Philadelphia, this paragraph is
being written with' the tempeiaturC at 95 de
grees in the shade,--yes, and not only in the
shade, but actually in a draught, for every
window is open to admit as much air as pos
sible. How little does the reader of a news
paper think of the difficulties with which even
A single number is produced—especially in
weather like the present. The newspaper is
served up, as a matter of course, with the ma
titudinal coffee, and it is' very likely that
paterfamilias may take the unconscionable
liberty of criticising it, as he takes in breakfast
and the news. It is all very well to do, as he
sits, fresh and cool, with his wife's bright
eyes opposite, beaming affection and intel
ligence. He monopolizes the newspaper, and
there have boen instances, we are credibly in
formed, where the selfish husband, not having
completed the perusal of his journal by the
time his breakfast was over, has audaciously
folded the paper, put it into his pocket, car

finished reading it in the omnibus or the ear I

Lucy STONE and her colleagues have got up
as a bill of indictment against that segment of
humanity commonly called Man.
We should like to know, indeed, (if we wore
petticoats and crinoline,) what right any
man—be he husband, father, friend, cousin,
brother, or sweet-heart—can have to take the
morning newspaper away with him. Has not

man think, far less write? The very act of
inscribing the words on paper is an effort,
under such circumstances, and yet that insa
tiate monster, the pablic, will growl terribly if
there be anything like short allowance of ori
ginal articles. The use of a newspaper to
most people Is double—first, it gives them
those facts which come under the generic
name of ' 1 information," and then it supplies
comments on some of the leading points. A
newspaper, in truth, does a man's thinking for
him. It tells him what his opinion ought to
be, and. ho involuntarily adopts the editorial
exposition as his own. A great deal of trou
ble is saved by such a process.
But the editorial mind, which has to think_
what can it do, in weather like to this? Said
mind is plural, because several intellects are
at work to make up the newspaper. The only
way is to sit down doggedly to work, wearing
such a minimum of clothing as consorts at
once with comfort and decency, and write,
write, write until the different topics of each
Successive day are discussed. Yet oven the
editorial labor, hard as it is, in this hot wea
ther, is physically easier than that to bo un
dergone by subordinate helps—provided they
do their duty. News is to be scissored and
selected and condensed from scores ofjour
nals,—local information to be looked up and
writtondown,—the chances and changes of the
money market are to be noted and commented
upon,—advertisements have to be seen to,—
shipping news has to be found, arranged, and
recorded,—and a variety of other things are
to bo done, day after day, for a newspaper be

the summit, was merely a type, and that edi
torship, with its ceaseless duties, was the pun
ishment actually Indicated by the mythologi.
cal tradition.
Our neighbor of the Sunday Dispatch has
exactly hit off the true condition of newspaper
people during "the hot spell." Here is a
spicy paragraph, In which he states his own
hard case:
"The weather for several days past bee been ab
solutely sweltering. The thermometer has ranged
in the vicinity of ninety, and everybody who could
escape from the &torching heat has beat a retreat
to the seaside, to the mountains, or to souse bound
less contiguity of shade,' where they can escape
the-hot sunbeams and enjoy cool breezes.' Now,
there was yesterday, for instance; we have no
doubt that there are some who will read to-day's
Sunday Dispatch who spent the day somew..ere
where gentle zephyrs wafted coolness on their
wings, whore sea or mountain breezes played, and
whore things generally were cool and comfortable
But that was not our lot. It was ours to trudge
for hours thocingh as remorseless a sunshine as ever
roasted humanity. It was ours to pursue will-o%
wisp items, which, like the Frenolituan's flea, when
you got him he wasn't there ; it was ours to tramp
to the Baltimore Railroad depot after the soldiers,
who went to meet other soldiers who did not come
—but it was not ours to watt until the delayed re
giment did arrive, for wo wore compelled to imi
tate the notable example of the King of France,
who, after marching up the bill, searched, hack
split. In 'tooth, yesterday was a roaster, and al
though the favored ones of fortune could keep
themselves cool and comfortible In shady places,

pelted to trudge through the hot sunshine, over the
baked pavements, and justgrin and bear it."
But this a record of onlrone day's suffer
ing—inasmuch as the Dispatch is only a week
ly paper. Think, oh fairest of readers, as the
daily journal drops from your beautiful hands,
while you say, "How dull the paper is to
day," what a terrible effort, indeed a series of
efforts, it has been_to produce it at all, with
the temperature marked by the glass as It 95
iii the shade." There you are, it may be,
with sea or mountain breezes fanning your
cheeks into yet deeper beauty, listlessly loung
ing beneath smell:lily tree, blaming theDOWS
paper—because your own mind, affected by
the weather, bag lost some of its wonted ener
gy. Have you ever thought, while even in
action wearies you, what a killing thing work
must be, while the city is a furnace?
The mere labor of putting into print the
lines which you read or skip is almost in
calculable. livery separate letter has to be
picked out of its own box and placed by rapid
fingers into the compplng stick—after that,
successive sticks' full'havo to bo emptied into
the galleys—then from each galley an impres-
I sion, called a proof, is to be , pu:led.z--then our
excellent “reader" Mr. WAP.P, with his in
telligent young aid-de-camp Mr. JOHN Yomm,
goes over every line, carefully noting down
what corrections the compositor has to make
—then the editorial eye has to glance over a
second proof, called the revise, of the cor
rected matter—then the iialleya bite to be
emptied on the imposing stone, and arranged,
di "made up" within the iron-bound limits of
the “chases,"—then, page after page, con,

constantly peregrinating, from three in the
afternoon until long after midnight, between
the printing office, the telegraph, the publish

in hot weather like the present.

Just able to trade these parting lines, and no
more. We sink, beneath the effort of writing
such an article as this, in such a heat. Feebly
grasping our tumbler (of lemonade) in which
the Ice-islands melted an hour ago, we quaff
the tepid draught, in tamed despair sink back
in the chair, and wonder why editors must
write at all with 96 in the shade.

Of a fifth we learn that " his motions were better."
A certain Mr. Smith is told that "his motions

lnasmuoh as it has opened the way for the esta
blishment here of a very large number of foreign
agencies, chiefly from New York, and brought
them directly in competition with our own institu
tions, and by which a large amount of real capital
is abstracted to build cp our most vindictive and
bloated business rival
As to the " Lycoming Mutual Insurance Com
pany." that comes in for no large a share of abuse
with the Governor, I can bear testimony to the
high character of its officers, the promptness,
fidelity, end liberal spirit in which it meets its

unite with the majority of our underwriters in the
effort to establish a law, If necessary, to protect
the community from irresponsible or bogus insti

institutions now doing business hero, or anywhere
in our Commonwealth ? That there have been, I
admit ; but, like every other fraud, they were eh ort
lived, and very few of our citizens were imposed

judgment In its prosecution. Yet I venture to
state that there is no class of community so grimly
defrauded as aro the fire and marine underwriters.
Claims are made under policies which aro marked
by corruption and fraud from their inoeption to
settlement; and yet, in a majority of eases, they
are paid by the offices rather than subjert them
selves to the vexation and annoyance of litigation ;
and the law of last erosion would greatly add to
the diffieulties under which they now labor.
It is the opinion of most or the oldest and best
underwriters of this city, that no further legisla
tion on the sullied is needed, nv under existing
lows an institution that refuses to pey
claims can be prooeeded against, and its rine

It would be as well to remark here, that the

LETTER FROM BALTIMORE. • '
(Correspondence of The Press.]
• BALTIMORE, July 9, 1858.
.If an otteasional _letter from a friend in this city
will be acceptable to you, lam at your service in
that line.. You would lite to hear, °Camara% I/Pw
many sympathizers you havo among the Baltimore,
Democracy, in your late and present heroic strut.,
gie for the maintenance of Democratic principles
in their original excellence and purity, and parti
calarly that cardinal principle of our faith Which`
contends for the right of the majority to role.' No
doubt the gratifying news has long slues privately
reached you, that those Baltimore and Maryland
Demoerata whose unabating seal and unceasing
effete scoured the vote of this State for Mr. Bu
chanan in the Cincinnati Convention cordially
sustain Wise, Douglas, Walker, and Forney, in
your opposition to that policy which recognised
the Lecompton Constitution of Kansas as a mea
sure worthy of Presidential and Congressional en
dorsement. I could give you the names of quite a
hoot of prominent and distinguished Dania:irate
of this city and State,_wbe occupy the position
just assigned them, but it will be quite time
1 enough for this to be done at a future period.
It is not only in Maryland that NMI can find
' hundreds of gond and true men who consider that
our party friends at the North were badly treated
in asking them to support such an offmring of ini
quity and fraud as the Lecompton Constitution,
but you can find them quite plentifully diffused
over every other- Southern State.- Hostility to
President Buchanan has had no agency in bring
ing such Democrats into such a position. On the
contrary, we all claim to be his true and disin
terested friends, and time will yet prove that this
claim is well founded. The Dernooratio party had
no supporters to lots when Mr. Buchanan same
into power, nor had he any friends to spare. The
Northern Democracy bad previously made many
sacrifices for us of the South, and it was not only
a blunder, but perfect madness, for' any of us to
ask them to make any more, when our Nation was
to gain nothing whatever by it. The Democratic
party llhd suffered defections enough before, and
it was about to recall to its ranks thousands who
had left it on former issues, and this happy event
would have occurred but for the unfortunate.adop
tion of the Kansas outrage.
Though deeply deploring that great error, our
confidence in the integrity and purity of President
BuPbanan and all his constitutional advisers is
undiminished, and he has the prayers of us all that
his Administration may yet be covered with a
blase of glory.
It will be no news for you to hear that we have
passed through a very bot term, and that for
sane time we have been severely Buffering for want
of a rain, to cool the parched earth and revive
droning vegetation. If there be any efficacy in
pis yer, as Ido not doubt, I think that, for some
days past, the whole nation should have been de
voutly imploring our Great Creator to favor the
land with refreshing showers of several days' dura
tion.
The dryness, dustiness, and beat of the weather,
all combined, have begun to drive many of our
wealthy citizens temporarily from us Numbers
have gone, or are preparing to go, to the watering
plaoes in your State situate north and northwest
of us, whilst a few still flock to Cape May, Sara

fail, or course, to attraot many motemers on •eo

the invigorating atmosphere of their mountain lo

For the solid. substantial "middlemen"of this
latitude, as aristooraoy terms them, other retreats
have of late been provided, and scores of this class
are wending their way thither. I mean by this, that

SUMMER RESORTS
Oorreepoodevee of The Press I
LAKE: 'lousy:, Lake George, July 5, 1858
Fair breezes aro blowing along the valleys, over
the waters, and in our window. The summer sun
shines bright and lends a warm glow to all natural
things, but there is no sultry heat. The lawn
slopes gently to the melting waves that toy with
the shore. Beyond and around us the hills and
mountains tower, plumed with their pines and
blossoming trees.—peak rises above peak, cleaving
the air; their different ranges stretch grandly to
the north. You stand by the water's edge, gaze
miles beyond; there float the light boats with
lazy anglers watching for trout, anti yet so en
trance i by the beauty which surrounds them, that
they notice not the cunning fish bee nibbled all
the bait away. Italy boasts not a fairer sky—
C•mo a m ore enchanting lake—Ssvilrerland more
romance in her mountain scenery—nor duce
Loch Lomond bathe her bills in bluer hazes. Na
ture hes strewn wild flowers prodigally and care
lessly in every °revise of the rcaks and every si
lent valley. Tho magician wand has passed over
everything, and ages back, when the floods rolled
away, the morningne'er dawned on purer Arcadian
sconce. The classics aro rich in description of Eu
rope; they have immortalized the lakes, the waoda,
the sylvan groves; the homes of fairies, and where
naiads and nymphs sported. Homer and Virgil
have made classic ground. Generations of people
have travelled down the earth to enrich its soil.
For centuries no human foot has desecrated th's
ground; the winds alone have toyed with tholeal
clothed trees; the stare alone have seen the vir
gin beauty of the flowers, and the sun able has
kissed the waters. We ace a happy generation,
for a thousand mines of wealth have disclosed their
treasure, and the rarest gems of nature are prewar'
beneath our feet. This is Lake George—shut net
from the rude world, bolted about by chains of
mountalpe. You shout—the echo rolls beneath the
vaulted heavens, and reverberates like rolling
thunder; you sing, and the mountains seem to
join you in a chorus deep and tremulous. A pare
dtetau greets the eye everywhere; cares fly
away to brink walled stiles, and throbbing hearts
boat only to the love of nature. You inhale the
nectar of life, ambrosial fragrance wafts into your
being—you are another man. Fields are tinted
variously with their cumbrous wealth, and the ripe
pods away and nod toward the earth. Wild birds,
free as air, are warbling in ever, copse. The
senses are apoplexed with wealth ton walk with
a light step, the ground springs beneath your feet.
the very flowers you crush leap again toward the
sun.
Come away from the city. repose in the shade,
angle in the waters, drive through the woods. roam
through the mountains and valleys, and see the
oasis In the desert of life. Trout, fresh, rice tinted
and sweet, will satisfy the epicure. The Mein.. he
is our Field, and provides to our hearts' and bodies'

A VOICE FROM THE ALLEOHANIES.
ALLEOITANT MOUNTAIN SPRINGS,
ORESRON, July 8, 1958. JJ
This delightful summer resort, which is fast
making favor with the valetudinarian as well as
the pleasure seeker, I readied a few days since,
by the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, that im
portant chain of communication between the East
and West. These springs are situated about a
mile from the summit of the Appalachian or Alle
gheny Mountains. in Cambria county, and over
2,000 feet above the level of the sea ; in the midst
of primeval forests of magnificent growth.
The greater number of the springs at this place,
by chemical subjection, show but faint traces of
any mineral substance, and may necessarily be
classed as of pure mountain water. There are,
however, many in which chemical elements are
obtained ; of these_ latter, some are aperient,
others of a tonic character, added to a third class,
probably ranking the highest—the ehalybeatrs.
This now watering place has reeen.ly been
chartered as en Institution, under the title of the
"Allegheny Mountain Health Institute." and the
hotels, two in number, placed by the company un
der the management ofi Mr. William 8. Campbell,
favorably known as the proprietor of the St. Law
rence Hotel, in your oily.
To Dr. R. M. B Jackson. the physician of the
institute, and a regular graduate of a quarter of a
century, of the old school of medicine, the credit is
due for the establishment of this sanitarium or
health resort for invalids For years has he labored
to 'consummate a prejoot so laudable to himself,
and at the same time ono that so entirely reoom
mends itself to the attention of the sick and suf
fering.
To establish a retreat for the invalid, a hospital
for those overtaken by disease, where change of
air, climate, and water, with skilful medical ad
vice,
was the object which be desired to attain,
and his efforts have at last been crowned with emi
nent success. Too much cannot bo said of an en
terprise commenced in doubt and misgiving, and
pursued under many difficulties, and some opposi..
tion. It has proved a success, as the growing re
putation of the pines fairly and fully attests.
The principal springs in the neighborhood are
the 4 . Rhodrdendrou." " Hemlock,'" Cakaton,"
" Meadow," " Discord," " Brandy," and . 4 Igna
tius," varying in the type and temperature of
their waters. Their analysis, by distioguished
chemists, affords the feet that they are all of a
highly beneficial character in most diseases.
There is at present here a company of some
sixty persons, from different parts of the Union,
with a daily addition to that number. I need
seareety say that, with our well-known host as
ur , jer.tioino, theireomforts and their pleasures are
•
alike catered to

In recounting the changes that had taken

the "Latin Salutatory." It was Blunt, and to the
point, and full of pleasant thought. Mr. Akers
spoke the " English Salutatory " Hisdashing en

[Correspondenee of The Press.]
PeartasoN, Juniata co., Pa., July 8, 1858.
As we seldom see any Petite in your paper of
this section of our State, I take the liberty of
addressing you a few lines, to let your readers
know what we are doing here. Our little borough,
Patterson, situated on the right bank of the Ju
niata, and right by the Pennsylvania railroad, is
one of the most thriving places in the interior of
the State. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
have extensive machine shops hero, and employ
a great number of hands. As they give their
employees good wages, and are prompt paymasters,
a groat amount of money is monthly thrown Into
circulation, and our people may be, said to have
suffered very little by the hard times occasioned
by the panic of last fall.
The.haying season is almost over, and our far
mers are getting ready for the grain harvest;
which will commence in a very few days. The
crops here look well, and not so mush injury has
been done by the wovil se was atilrat anticipated.'
We had a lively time here on the "Fourth."
There were citizens by. the bundredertwer: !CI
.401 AL/ . 1.411‘.1 “ 1-4 "1 11)...4.mrarr.g5011 - n e r
neat'and becoming regalia; a member of members
of the order of Red Men, who attracted much at
tention by their grotesque but beautiful Indian
costumes. A procession was formed, when all
marched to a beautiful grove, a mile or so distant,
whore an eloquent address VMS delivered by the
Rev. E. W. Langley, a young and promising
minister of tho Methodist persuasion. After
which, the whole conconrsepartook of a bounti:ul
repast, prepared by the °limns, and the getting
up of which reflected great credit upon our
lad ice.
Considerable interest is manifested here in po
litical affairs. The Press is circulated through
out the county. It is now almost the only daily
that is taken—and when it is react, that Instru
ment called Lecompton has few friends.
From present indications ' the Republicans will
easilyearry the county at the October election,
although we need to roll up a nice little Demo•
acetic majority of from one hundrei to one hun
dred and fifty. This change is the fruit. of
making the support of the Lecompton Constitution
a test upon the members of the Democratic
party,
But, Democrats as we are, we are resolved not
to tonal' a candidate of our party, no matter how
unexceptionable he may be in other respects, who
does not stand squarely upon the platform laid
down at Cincinnati in '66 ; who does not stund by
the pledges made by the party at that time; who
does not give his hearty support to the gallant
Douglas and his compeers in their noble defence
of popular sovereignty; and lastly, who does not
boldly condemn the policy of forcing an edions
Constitution upon an' unwilling and protesting
people.
Another Vessel Fired Into and Boarded—En•
gagement Between New York and Virginia
Volunteers.
The Richmond Dispatch gives the following in
teresting account of an " engagement " which took
plate on James river, on Tuesdny niht, the Gat
inst., a few miles below Richmond : 'We beard a
good deal yesterday in regard to an occurrence on
James river the night before, but do not appre
hend that any diplomacy will be called for to assist
and maintain the doctrine that the American flag
protects the vessel sailing under it. Oar readers
have already been apprised that the Richmond
Grays chartered the steamer Old Dominion, and
cfnietly dropped down the river on Tuesday
bight, in advance of the New York National
Guard. It appears that the O'd Domizion, wi ert
some thirty miles below, lay to and awaited the
a earner Glen Cove, which moon hove in sight, with
the visiting regiment on board When she got
within hailing distance the Grays fired two or
three volleys across her bow, and ordered her to
heave to. The command was promptly obeyed.
The Old Dominion then ran alongside. and the
borplit were lashed together. When the New York
ers saw the Richmond company they were filled
with amazement, having had no previons warning
that such a matmeuvre had been executed, and
were utterly at a loss to comprehend how the
Grays managed to slip away and get down the
river ahead of them. The Grays at once gave them
to understand that they desired an " engagement"
en the water, having had several on land; and,
without farther parley, the " Seventh" assented
to the request.
he s e short time the decks of the Old Dominion
exhibited a scene of excitement almost unprece
dented. Champagne bottles kept up a succession
of sharp reports, and a variety of Runts and solids
were introduced by, the Grays to render that' vic
tory certain. . The National Guard, of course,
knoeked under, and for an hour or two all was
hilarity among the soldiers of the North and
South. The Mayor of Richmond, who was pre
sent, insisted that the Old Dominion should out
loose and carry the " Seventh" back to the ca
pital; but Col. Duryea contrived a counter plot,
and not only succeeded in withdrawing his own
men, lint carried the Mayor with them
The hat greetings were heartily given—cordial
wishes of future happiness expressed on both sides
—and about twelve o'clock the boats parted com
pany. The Grays Bred three volleys at parting,
the " Seventh" responded with cheers, the Glen
Cove pursued her way down the river, and the Old
Dominion returned with the gallant Grays (who
mustered fifty-one on this occasion) to Richmond.
Serious Effects of the Pleat.—About one
o'clock on Saturday afternoon, -a young lady,
about nineteen years old, was overcome by the
heat at Ninth and Chestnut streets. She was
carried into the drug store at the sooner in an in
sensible condition
The sufferer was taken to the Pennsylvania HOS
pital at night. She had reeoieted suffiefently to
speak incoherently, but she was unable to give
any account of herself. She is not thought to be
in a dangerous condition. She wore a cameo
breastpin, necklace and bracelet, and other Jew
elry. In' her pocket was a card of Mrs. M. B.
Miller, fashionable millinery, No. 1005 Spring
Garden street.
The following named persons were also taken to
the Pennsylvania Hospital on Saturday, suffering
from the heat
Francis linger, aged thirty-five years, sent to
the inatitutinu from the Sixth-ward station home.
Hugh McCormick, aged thirty, lives in South
