September at the Sea Side.
It is a popular blunder that our sea-side re
aorta are never agreeable' after the hist days of
August. The fashionable. world is governed
by custom, and accordingly' crowds of People
think they are in duty bound to leaie Atlantic
City and Cape May,at the approach of the first
day of September; because such has been the
practice in years past. Newport is an excep
tion to this rule. Hundreds of persons prefer
the latter place during the month of Septem
ber; and we have no doubt that if a trial could
beinade of cape May and Atlantic City, the
next, four weeks would be found to be even
more delightful than those which have gone
by. We bad the experience of Cape May
late in August, at Wser and THOMPAON'S Con
gress Hall, two, years ago, and can testify that
we never enjoyed the sea more, and that the
Island itself was never more lovely. It is pro
posed to remove the wharves of the landing of
the steamboat atoape Island some time about
the middle Orthe next month, previous to
which abundant 'opportunities 'will be offered
to those who may desire to enjoy the unri
valled bathing and accommodations of that
far-famed place.
- Atiantie City, owing to the fact of being
accessible overland, could be visited until late
In October; and if those who are fond of
amusement would make the experiment, they
will find that no more delightful jaunt could be
made than to Atlantic City during the coming
two months. We perceive that Colonel
Peon, the veteran captain of the State Fowl
bles, has arranged for a grand military review
of that favorite and tine old corps on the
thirty-first of August, at -Atlantic City. This
event ought to attract thousands, and ought
to be the beginning of a series - of military
entertainments at the same point. The facilities
for ouch a display are unrivalled ; and If the
day is fair, nothing more
_, exhilarating could
be presented than the appearance of the State
Penciblestoing through their manual under
the command of their popular leader, with the
beach of old ocean.
The Crops Abroad.
• Tho latest accents from England fully con
firm, by repeating what was said some weeks
ago, respecting the failure of the crops in that
country. Daring the last ton months, there
has not been three weeks of fine weather in
all, and such an occurrence as even three
days' consecutive cessation of rain had not
occurred. The European Times of the 11th
inst. has the following:
The unfavorable state of the atmosphere on
the crepe is the subject of general remark, and, in
addition to the injury which has been done to the
oared products, the state of that important escu
lent, the potato, is causing oentdderable untied.
nem. ,In fact, the weather is not:dissimilar, in
many respects, to the year in which the late Sir
Robert Peel proposed the repeal of the Corn-laws.
.The reports from Ireland respecting the potato
are cheerless. Cold, damp weather, such as we
have had so long, is exactly that which is known
to exercise the most injurious effeobt on the potato.
In some parts of the sister country—the county
-Wexford, for instance—the blight is said to be
greater than it has been since the first year of its
appearance,. in - 1846, and in other parts of the
(eland the symptoms ate also very,dieheartening.
What if we should have to encounter another
famine in the sister country? An impetus has
already' been given to the import of breadetutfa,
large quantified of which are likely to reach us
from the other side of the Atlantic,. As far as
present appearances goose' are likely to turn to
good account all that may be sent.
In this country, thanks to a bountiful Pro
vidence, the harvest is, optionally productive.
The supply of grain and flour to England will
be great. The grain trade, however, in the
principal English markets, is far from being
active, owing to the steady arrival of sufficient
supplies from abroad. how long these sup
plies can be continued is the great question.
_We believe that America will have to feed
England this year.
- s
117' There is nothing more disreputable in
a great party than to tinker and trade with
those who'are hostile to their principles; and
nothing is so sure to be promptly rebuked.
Wo notice that the Juniata Register, a Breck
inridge paper in this State, has pulled down
the Democratic ticket from its mast-head
because •the nominees are Douglas men; cc and
yet," says the New Bloomfield (Perry county)
Democrat—a paper of the old-school Demo
cracy—" the Douglas men are coolly invited
to join' the Breckinridgers, so as to swore
the detest of the regular nominees for Preildent
and Vice President." ' '
1 The fierce contest for the Itopublican
nomination for Congress hi the 'Westmoreland
(Pa.) district has been settled, to the satisfac
tion of ail parties, by the renomination of Hon.
Jaw Covens. If Mr. Covens has done no
thing'else to deserve this mark of conildencei
his untiring and'energetic course in initiating
and pressing forward a thorough investigation
Info the frauds and extravagances of the Fe
deral Administration would have entitled him
to it. He is a determined partisan, but as
kind-hearted and forbearing in his course with
his• political opponents as any man we have
ever known.
The Brownsville (Fayette county, Pa.)
Timis is having a little trouble with a neigh
boring editor in regard to Forney's Press.
We are . sorry to occasion so much uneasiness
among the Diannionists of Pennsylvania, but
we are not sorry to have so good a friend as
the editor of the Brownsville Times. He states
our case (as follows) like a lawyer:
"Tail CoNsievasor OF TRATTORIC—Last week
the Washington Examiner put up the names of
Breokinridge and Lane, and comes oat strongly
for the fusion electoral ticket. It alsO undertakes
to lecture ns about an article in our paper, two
weeks ago, concerning Forney's Press. :We have
no objections to the editors of the Examiner fut.
filling their contract with the Administration to..
emu Forney, land support, the fusion tioket.
Bat they mast not presume to dictate to Demo
erotic editors, and tell them their duty. If ornoy's
Press is not a political paper, and the Emarmizer
is not a Democratic one. The Press aupports the
fundamental principle of the Democratic party—
that of non=intervention. The Examiner favors
a slave code for the Territories, add opposes the
Cincinnati Platform. Forney says he will vote for
Douglas, the regular nominee of the party. The
Examiner editors say they will not. Gentlemen,
if Forney is on the threshold you aro outside of the
Democratis wigwam."

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE•
Lottor from “OccOsioliaL"
Gmeepoodemo of The Frees.]
WASHINGTON, August 26, 1660.
If these were not political times, and if all par-
Coe and conditions of men and women did not
look to the newspapers for political news, I should
sometimes hesitate about devoting so mush of this
o3rrespondenee to the movements of candidates,
and to the various complications growing out of the
efforts of the four great organizations to acquire
possession of the Federal Government from the
fourth of March next. But little else is talked
about in Washington. It is true, since the visit of the
Zouaves, a stronglocal military feeling has grown
up, and any number of volunteer companies on
the basis of that famous corps have been formed, or
are in procesi of formation. Nowhere has the ex
ample of the Zouaves created so much excite
ment as here. If you pass along the streets
after disk you will find squads of boys, from
twelve to eighteen and twenty years of
age, drilling after the peculiar Zouavo mo
del. Beyond this and the expected visit of
the Prince of Wales, the staple of conversation
is the probable result of the Presidential election.
Preston King, chairman of the Republican Ns-
Venal Committee, in his full suit of brown linen,
with his long coat reaching almost to his feet, may
be seen carrying his immense weight along the
Avenue at stated hours, exhibiting as ranch activi
ty and zeal as a young man of twenty-five. He is
the vital spirit of the Republicans here, and toils
night and day In the cause of Lincoln and Hamlin.
Entirely confident of success, he seems to have no
other object but to provide against disaster and to
push on the column. Hon. Miles Taylor and the
Wickliffes, father and son, have charge of the
Douglas organization, and are doing a vast deal
of work. The Breokinridgers, on Four-and-a-half
street, aro in possession of a fine room in/the se
cond story of a spadeful house, and enjoy 'An ad
vantage over the others on account of being able
to muster into service the different clerks in the
departments. This' organisation is under the ape
old charge of Gov. I. I. Stevens, of Washing
ton Territory. The 801 l and Everett party aro
marshalled by Hon. Alexander E. Boteler, mem.
ber of Congress from the Iferper'e Ferry dietriot—
a gentleman of high character and deserved popu
larity.
All than committees have their newspaper or.
gene except the Republicans. Strange to say, not
withstanding the hopes entertained by the latter
of being able to elect their candidates, they have
no journal in Washington, but rely upon their do
cuments and their speakers.
I have repeatedly told you since the nomination
of Bell and Everett that it would prove to be a
strong ticket. 1 prophesied this when they as.
gambled at Baltimore on the 9th of May last, and
every day le only serving to confirm the prediction.
In the break-up of the Dernoaratlo orginization, and
the strong utterances of Mr. Senator Seward and
others who support Lincoln, thousands of conserva
tive men, North and South, look to Bell and
Everett as constituting a safe middle ground, and
will cheerfully throw their votes in that direction.
It is in fact the old Whig party revived. I was
not surprised when in Philadelphia, a few evenings
ago, to see the enthusiasm prevailing among the
Bell and Everett mon in that city, and to witness
the large number of flne•looking citizens enlisted in
their processions. The expectation of this party
is to throw the election of President into the
House, and to accomplish this end they labor
with unabated zeal. It may turn out that the Re
publicans—indignant as they now are at the or
ganisation of the Union Constitutional party—will
be compelled to take Bell as a choice before Brook
nridge in the House. John Bell is acceptable,
in many respects, to a large body of the American
people. He has always been conservative on the
elaVery question, and le an original friend of the
protection of American industry. Attache upon
such a man, no matter by whom made, can do no
good, and he hi no wise loader who counsels them—
whether he be a Republican, Douglas Democrat,
or a Breckinxidge Disunionist. Read and re
member !
The Breokinridge men do not seem to be tut
grateful to certain of the Republican leaders as
might have been expected on account of the hos
tffitiee of those, leaders to Douglas, and the encou
ragement extended by them to the Breokinridge
movement, for the friends of the young Vice Presi
dent have lately re-opened their batteries upon
the Republicans, and insist every day that, if Lin
coln is elected, three or four of the Southern States
will immediately prepare to secede from the Union.
I have In my possession a number of letters, in
which this is expressed in the strongest language.
The Breokinridge men not only went out of the
National Demeoratie Convention wheethey found
they had lost the game, but will go out of the
Union if they lose the Presidency, or If the Re
publicans should win it. Precisely the same dis
honorable logic that impelled them to desert the
National Convention, after they were beaten, will
Impel them to desert the Union if they aro de-
Anted. They seem to forgot that nothing is less
'oaleulated to intimidate the American people then
eta domineering as this. So far from hurting
Lincoln by this course, they help him. hundreds
of men, wholly indifferent to hinr, and others dif
feting from his supposed extreme anti-slavery doe
tribes, will vote for Lincoln, if only to put these
fire-eaters to the test. Ae a gentleman said to me
the other day, "I am not in favor of Mr.Lineoln—
I differ from him upon the idea that this country
must all be slave or free; but, if up should be
elected in November, I will be found en the spot,
with thousands of other citizens of the North, to
see that he is duly inaugurated." I can appreciate
and make full allowances for the feeling of the
Southern people—excited as they have been in re
gard to this question of slavery—l sympathize with
them in their exasperation on account of the John
Brown raid, and I know how they read the sicken
ing details of those who are attempting to Imitate
that tragic. example In the far-off fields of Texas.
I know how they contemplate the forthcoming
power of the Northwest and the North atter
the new census, and the consequent Congressional
apportionment shall be made. Bat there is an in
exorable logics in figures and in facts; and they can
commit no greater mistake than in supposing that
if the American people elect a man President of
the United States, in a fair trial, he will not be
permitted to take his seat. The erpeeincent of
preventing the inauguration of Lincoln would rally
to him the almost entire body of the Northern peo
ple, and would raise up, In his behalf, a strong
party in the South pledged to the observance of
the laws and the guarantees of the Constitution.
I am not, therefore, surprised that many Southern
statesman look these things calmly 1p the face, re
facing to p'edge themselves in advance to a bloody
resistance to the inauguration of any man duly
chosen to the highest °Moo of the Republio. Little
partisans and sensation newspapers may make
evanescent capital for themselves by assisting to
excite the Southern men on this subject, and may
'frighten a few hundred timid men in the free
States, but I repeat that this whole idea of threat
ening any party with a resort to violence to over
throw the decision of the ballot. box is only worthy
of the men who believe in Lynch law, and who,
when defeated to a fair game, fiy into a passion,
and say they have been defrauded.
Judge Douglas, detained by the rains from
speaking at Norfolk, on Friday evening, addressed
an immense concourse at that place last night, and
was warmly and epthuslastically welcomed. Some
of the more tempesteous of tire Breokinridge men
had threatened to interrupt him, as was the case
with General Foote, some evenings previous, at
Richmond, b u t the indomitable plunk of the Little
Giant, and the ,courage of his friends, prevented
any outbreak. Ile 1411 address the people of Vir
ginia at two or three other points, and will then
proceed to North Carolina, accompanied by his
two little boys, for the purpose of settling up the
estate lately left to them by their grandmother.
By theway, a rare scene took place souse evenings
ago at Harrisonburg, Virginia, in which that most
pompous of all pompoeities— that vainest of all
vanities—that muptieet of all emptinessea—Senator
James M. Mason, of Virginia, receiyed the rebuke
he has been long laboring for. For 'years pep,
he has been looking down upon every man to Vir
ginia wh bap not slavishly bowed down at the
mandate of himself, .Ruptpr, and the other fire
eaters of the South, as au interior. .gfpapalf a no-.
tortoni, Intelleetuei mediocrity, he had apsumed
the airs of a god, and had begun to believe him golf
entitled to a life-lease upon the Senate. Ma bear
ing tp Douglas, Broderick, Stuart, and other
N or thern Demeerete, had extended Itself to cer
tain men in his own iitete, whe wpuld not register
the decrees of himself and his set. Ifs has been
in the habit of saying that when ho visited Pain
sylpenia be visited a foreign country, and sojourned
among his enemies ipied his boast for years paet
has been that the Union was yirtßany disiolved.
Last Monday, however, the Hatiorial DeaaWraia
met at Harrisonburg for the purpdso of hearing that
lion•hoarted patriot, Henry B. Foote, of Missis
sippi, late of California, whom they had invited to
address them, and who came forward to meet lie
nator Mason, then on the ground in fair debate
The challenge was haughtily declined by Mason:
but, taking warning by the excited eharacteiof the
crowd around him, he lowered his crest, and, in his
speech to his own friends, even want HO far as to
deny that he had ever deneummd Judge Douglas,
and that he regarded him as a great 0401ln:tan.
But he did not escape the keen and merollesa
criticism of Foote. I am told that he literally
flayed Mason allvo. For a while he stood the
galling fire of the gallant general, and then with
drew from the hall, notwithstanding a o n o Foote
called upon him, and challenged dental on fifty
dlgereptpoints at issue between them. He dared
inc to the gentest—said that he was on the
around, and should xpes him face to face;
and he held up his record before thc WPM with
unfaltering and fearless perseverance. It xeust
have bean h rap scene. The truth is, the old
leaders in Virginia, Bing the Bourbons in Italy, are
being hunted out of place by any nnyiber'of volun

orals. I copy from the regular proceedinga of the
Staunton Convention itself, *ldol/ have just reached
me
" Mr. Irving hoped that the minority report would not
be adopted. If time ever was a Convention that had
utmost come down upon its knee' in an end at concili
ation, this Convention had become that suppliant.
Ifow, he naked, can we correspond with those who will
not oorrespcind with us Belt•reepeot requires this
Convention to adopt the majority report; and, If it is
not adopted, he, for one, would deoline to act any longer
upon the committee.
•' Mr. Harman said that he had sent nine despatches
to Charlottesville and received but two responses. He
was eatiefied that the Charlottesville Convention bad
never intended to make any fair or equitable arrange
ment, and he wea now done with it. (Applause.] ,
6, Mr. Wllain replied that no official proposition had
yet been renewed from the Charlottesville committee,
and until it 'mild be ascertained whether one would be
sent or not, he thought the committee here should not
he discharged.
" Mr. Liggett said that he came hero to effect a nom-
Promise. if possible, and not to saorifice his self•re
spent. This Convention having waited from 9 o'olocic
last night until 10 o'clock to-day fora message from
Charlottesville, and none having been reoeived, he was
unwilling to consume further time by waiting for a
message 'which may never come.
" Mr. Chancellor said that the whole object of the
movement for a compromise, on the part of the Char
lottesville Convention, has been trickery. Some of the
greatest trieksters of the day are connected with it.
They have purposely refused to reply so that this Con
vention may adjourn, and give them an opportunity of
saying that they intended to do so amino. We know
what we are about, he said, although, thank Cod, we
have neither Hunter nor Mason with us, and we don't
want them. [Applause.)
" Mr. living called the previous question, and the
call was sustained.
" The minority report was then rejected, and the Ins
jortty report (refusing all compromises) adopted by an
overwhelming majority."
The President remains at Bedford, although the
company is rapidly thinning out. Unless called
home by °Metal business, he will prolong his
stay during the beet part of this week. I hear
that he is exceedingly affable, and that he was
never before so agreeable and accessible.
,He even
recalls to those who enjoy his society the James
Buchanan of the olden time. When a young man,
Bedford was his favorite resort, and his friends
flecked around him to_ . enjoy his society and listen
to his anecdotes, and to hear him tell of the public
characters with whom be had been eotemperane
cue. lie converses with everybody, comes into
the parlor, chats with the ladies, pats the chil
dren on the head, takes his glass of old J. B. with
the utmost relish, eats like a wagoner, and drinks
his madeira like " a fine old English gentle
man—one of the olden time." Be seems
to feel as if this were his lest visit,
nt least during his Presidential term, to Bed
ford Springs, and, doubtless, when he faces about
and looks over tho long track of buried years and
alienated friends, and discordant factions, and 8008
his Administration expiring around him, he feels
some twinges of remorse, and is therefore not in•
disposed to make one last effort to recover his lost
popularity. lie may well ask himself, in con
trasting the happy days of yore with the present
time, in looking upon the now filen that self-inte
rest has gathered around him, and in vainly seek
ing for those old ones that retired before the wintry
glance of his ingratitude, whether, indeed, he is the
man who was chosen to the Presidency in 1856, or
whether Emma unnatural change has not come over
him. Oc c as 'oxen.

WASHINGTON, August 25, 1860
Tho Richmond Whig, the loading Bell paper in
Virginia, calls upon the Whigs and Union men in

The Secretary of War has awarded to Mr. Do
Groat the sum of one hundred and nineteen thou
sand dollars, the profits of a contract whiob ho has
not fulfilled. Two years ago the Government gave
him a contract for furnishing brisk for the Wash
ington aqueduct. But, as Congress did not make
any appropriation for that work, nothing was
done. Although he has not delivered one single
brink, yet the Government will pay him four dol
lars per thousand, the amount of his profit if he
had delivered thorn, making, altogether, ono bun
dred and nineteen thousand dollars—a snug little
sum for doing .nothing. Secretary Cobb is exas
perated at the reward, as he cannot quo so much
money without the greatest inconvenience. -
Senator Bigler is here. Be speaks in glowing
terms of the probable eaeaess of the fusion ticket
in Ponnsylvania. He helloes that this fusion

Senator Clingman, of North Carolina, is also
here. Though a warm personal friend of Mr.
Douglas, ho has not had backbone enough to sup
port him. Some arouse him for this weakness, on
the ground that be is a eandldate for re-election
to the Senate, and Mathis outspoken friendahlp for

men are going hand-in-hand in all the Southern
States, and as Douglas himself wants -to have the
fire-eaters laid on the shelf, and their places filled
by 'Union or Douglas men, it is beyond doubt that
there will be a separate Douglas ticket. It is for
this reason that all true friends of Douglas are
opposed to your fusion ticket. Any amalgamation
with, or reeognitipo of, traitors and bolters, can
only weaken but never strengthen a party. Many
persons who would have cheerfully voted for Doug

they aro not voting for Breekinridge. And the
Douglas men would rather see Bell than Breekin

would be more hostile to them than that of the
former, All Douglas men are now being removed
from ofilee, at a time when preeltinridge wants to
ride on their books into power; how will It be
when he does not want their aid any longer? No
Douglas matt will be considered a Democrat, but a
"leprous Abolitionist," a political Pariah, whilst

"Judging from the (source pursued by other Pre

Malang whilst in power, instead of doing any rub,
violent, or unconstitutional sot, to injure or offend
those opposed to him, It is likely Line°ln will pur

the South. It cannot be in the nature of my man
elevated to the presidency to wish to see the Go
vernment broken up under his Administration, the
Republio dismembered, and the countr,vilunged
into a civil war. Very e his groat ort will
be to acquire popularity in the Southern States,
and appease their opposition by a rigid adherence
to the Constitution, and respect for the rights of
the South. It is not at all improbable that the
South may find more favors under the Administra

blomnan, August 25.—The Prince of Wales
landed here this morning, between nine and ten
o'clock. .
A royal saint. was fired, an address read by the
authorities, and replied to on the part of the
Prime.
It rained during the early part of the morning,
bet eleared off. The weather is now warm and
pleasant.
At the Prince's landing there was a great multi
tude, and the streets aro filled with people,
thou
sands of strangers adding their numbers to the
ninety thousand residents of Montreal. There were
forty thousand spectators.
The buildings, both public and private, were
gaily decorated in honor of the Prince. and ho
passed beneath a great number of tirnles thrown
across the streets. The procession embraced all
the oivio authorities, the clergy, a large number of
societies, the fire brigades, and the riflemen and
volunteers were out in great numbers.
It is oonseded on all bands that the display was
the grandest ever witnessed in the province.
The gtreateit enthusiasm prevailed on all sides.
The Prince proceeded to Inaugurate the provin•
plat and the Victoria bridge, the procession on the
occasion being splendid. At the bridge celebra
tion a solid gold modal, manufactured in England
will be presented to the royal visitor. The medal.
is intended to commemorate the opening of the
bridge. The upper part of the front of the medal
Is occupied by a ooat of arms of the city of Mon
treal, flanked or protected by the liono and unicorn,
signifying the protection of Canada by England;
beneath the two latter appear in scroll the names
of the great engineers of the bridge—Rosa and
Stephenson. Immediately below the coat of arias
appears the bridge. A raft of timber and a sWa
mer are seen descending the river, a train of ears
with looonsetive is just entering the bridge to the
right, whilst on the extreme left the mountain,
at
the foot of which Montreal la situated, rises to
view. On the-.reverse of the medal appears, at
the top, the royal arms of England, and bust - ,
which are likenesses, of gnaws Victoria and Prince
Albert, and the Prince of Wales. ,
Among the visitors who wore present at the
bridge inauguration were the authorities of other
cities, with members of the Canadian Legislative
body. A large number of Americans are here and
joined their forces at the grand thin
Freshet in the West Branch.
IYlLLtamsrortr, August 26.—The heavy rain of
yesterday raised the river here, and the stream'
up the 'West Branch, to a terrible height, and eon.
siderable damage has been done, both here and
along the different streams. The river at this point
ranted ten feet in as'mny hours, and from ten to
twelve thousand logs were swept from the lower
boom down the river. The upper boom is catch
ing an immense number that were carried from
Lock Haven and Pine Creek. The latter stream
raised ten feet In four hours and a half, which is
the most extraordinary rise ever known. Almost
everything along the creek has been swept away.
E. B. Campbell, who has a large milt on Pine
creek, lost about eight million feet of logs. Most
of this was, however, caught here in the big boom,
and is safe.

It is not every one who can sates/. a compli
ment, and few who can do it graoefaliy. A blunder
is annoying, and the appearance of a motive fatal.
And in, when John Brodhead invited the press
people down to Atlantic City, and placed a train
at their disposal, everybody was delighted, for the
invitation was coupled with terms so courteous that
the recipients were pleased, and the response was
so grateful and graceful that John Brodhead him.
self could not but feel the pleasure that human
hearts always feel when performing cots of kind
DOSS.
There was nothing clannish In the invitation, and
here we see the address and taot of John Brod
head. It was neither to one elus nor to another
class—for a newspaper establishment is planned
on principles as mosaic as the ring on my lady's
finger. It was to all. The editor and the
" devil"—extremes will meet ; the reporter
and the press-boy ; the Fenny Contributor,
who does the humor, wears long hair, and
snuffs Maeoaboy ; the Heavy Contributor, who ,
deals in feats and attends to the safety of the
Union; the Financial Contributor, who follows the
tremulous stock-barometer, and believe! in oily
Gs; the Imaginative Contributor, who writes about
the weather; the Critical Centribator, with the sour
countenance, the Banque of every new Macbeth;
and the Ornamental Contributor in yellow kids and
white vest, who stands in the door-way with his
tooth-pick to keep up the appearances of the estab
lishment; clerk, courier, correspondent, composi
tor, and carrier, were all invited to spend the day
at the sea as the guests of the Atlantic Railroad
and its President, John Brodhead.
They went, and a merrier oonvdcation never
orossed. the Delaware to Cooper's Point than the
company of last Saturday morning. There were
four hundred, and porhapa more. They steamed
through Now Jersey, and reached their destination
at a few minutes past
,nine. There were doubts
about the weather the night before. The rain had
fallen heavily, and the glory of the setting sun was
lost behind heavy, sodden clouds, which covered the
sky with a threatening *speed even until morning,
and boded to the type-men a dreary day. The
sun came and the clouds came; bat the clouds had
a silver lining, and beforo the earth had seen Its
Inightness for an hour the silver thread-work
merged into a universal blue, and a fairer day ne
ver beamed upon the Barging waters of the sea.
Here wa should pat in a paragraph about the
ocean, but the eironlating libraries have made
Byron popular, and all our favorite quotations aro
familiar. The Imaginative Contributor thought it
was " superb," " splendid," " glorious," 4 4 extra .
ordinary," 44 sublime," and the Heavy Contribu.
tor calculated it would yield sixty pounds of salt to
the hogshead, and regretted it wasn't strong enough
to pickle. The balance of the party went to bath
ing-men, and, properly aecoutred, dived among the
breakers.
We all know how a day is spent at Atlen& City,
for, if we have not been there, don't we all read
the papers, and how often has Jenkins told us the
story? Let it intike for this narration, that so far
as the observations of its writer permitted him to
determine, the excursionists, one and all, had a
glorious time. The surf was neither weak nor
strong, but in that midway condition which bathers
love, when the waves break just fir enough from
the beach to escape the untertow. The amascuents
of the pleas were ammeoutively indulged in. Some
walled along the beach and gossipped, some talked
politics among the trees, some danced at the
"hop" (what a hateful word !) In one of the hotels,
some went fishing in the inlet, tome went sailing
around Brigantine Beach, some went to billiards
and bowls, to kill time; some patronised Juleps
and sherry cobblers in the bar-rooms, and some
lounged around the planes, smoking cigars, read
ing the newspapers, or ventilating the currant gos
sip of the day.
Homeward bound 89 evening came, and the merry
crowd traversing New Jersey with the speed of
lightning beneath the rays :of the new-born moon.
We cannot think to chronicle all the =art things
said or done, or to keep the run of the amusements
that prevailed in every oar. Such scenes of hila
rity and good humor are not among things dosorip•
the. Bongs of sentiment, and songs of melody,
the sparkling jest and the well-told story, com•
bined with more than usual good humor, and less
than usual disorder and intoxioatlondehararter
!zed the journey of the printers through the land
of pine trees and whet:Heber:les to the more
ip
viting shores of the Delaware.
And no, when the ferry-boat pushed off from the
shore, and the lights of Philadelphia sparkled ever
the dark waters of the river, and through the soft
moonlight, there were no words of diantLsfaction
heard, no murmurs, no regrets, mingled with the
busy, noisy oonversetion. And, when one enthusi
astic gentleman in the bow of the boat proposed
"three cheers for John Brodhead," the cheers
were given in typographical style, and the praises
of the President passed from month - to mouth. -
Finally comes the epilogue to all excursions
and festivities—a meeting. We did not happen to
be present ; but this did not prevent the meeting
from taking place, nor the esortreloniats from giv
log vent to their feelings in. the following reso
[ lotions :
At a meeting of a committee appointed from the
various newspaper offices, to take action in regard
to the complimentary excursion tendered ivy the
Camden and Atlantic Railroad Company, the fol
lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, By the kindness of the President and
Directors of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad
Company we have participated in &complimentary
excursion to Atlantic Oily,
R esolved, That our thanks are due to Jona
BRODHEAD, Esq., President of the road, for his
courtesy in appropriating a special train of cars
for our accommodation ; that our very pleasant
excursion to this delightful watering place has
been a benefit to us, both mentally and physically;
and that we are convinced that Atlantic City pee
sasses advantages as a summer resort not equalled
by many, and immersed by none in the Union.
Resolved, That while we thus acknowledge the
liberality of the president and directors of the
company, we must not forget the kind attentions
of the agent of the road, 4 1 010 . Q. BRYANT, Eoq )
whose promptness to carry out all suggestions for
our comfort during the trip, proves that the oem
pany have in him an officer whose gentlemanly
bearing to excursionists must always be of greet
benefit to the road.
Resolved, That to Conductor MONDAY, who ac
companied us on the trip, we are Indebted for
many acts of attention, and ,that we thus publish
our testimony to his urbanity as as officer, and to
his peculiar fitness ter the position he maples.
Re,volved, That, as t' none but printers know a
printer's cares," we fully appreciate the thought
fulness of Colonel Joss W. FORNEY, through whose
moat appropriate suggestion the facilities of the
railroad ware placed at our disposal for the excur
sion; and that our only regret Ls that we could
not testify personally our appreciation of this cha
racteristic act of kindness on his part.
Rrsnived, That the above resolutions be pub
lished iu each of the morning rapers.

°PRIMO OP Tile, TWRLPYR. WARD Win
wam.—Tbe wigwam erected in Sixth street, above
Brown, by the Republican party, for the purpose
of holding meetings during the coming State and
national elections, was formally opened on Satur
day evening, with an imposing torchlight proces
sion of the yarioes political cipbs organlyed by the
Republlpan party, who marched to the spot with
muelo, banners, lanterns, and transparencies. The
interior of the Wigwam was handsomely decorated
with the banners and lanterns of the Invincible.,
Continentals, and Wide-Awakes, which bad been
loaned for the purpose. Over the speaker's stand
was displayed a photograph , in oil, of " Lincoln's
Home," in Illino is. Chine.° lanterns and a plen
tiful supply of bunting added to the general effect
of the scene, which was very Sue. Long before
the organisation of the meeting the Wigwam was
orowd
Charles M. Neal presided, sighted by mere than
a score of vice presidents and secretaries, who usu
ally have no official existence except upon paper.
The Hon. Henry D. Moore was the first speaker,
and he gave glowing accounts of the progress of
the Republican movement in the interior of
the State. He also addressed a portion of his
remarks to his " American " friends who had
declared for Bell and Everett. He considered
that they made a mistake In claiming Bell and
Everett as the only candidates of the American
party. Abraham Lincoln, in his opinion, was truly
the candidate of the American party, and he in
tended-to give him his hearty suppbrt. Ve refer
red to the elects made in other Buttes to use alp
members of the Cetistutlorial Vnion party to ad
vance tire alms of tie enerplea of protection to
American inclitstry. In this position of affairs,

if so, why was not an electoral ticket formed for

Goverment who would bring the Administration
back to the days of Washington, Jefferson, and
Monroe.
Win. B. Mann, BA., read the following regain
lions, which were adopted with great enthusiasm
Resolted, That in Abraham Lincoln we recog

Resolved, That in Hannibal Hamlin we have a

has nobly defended the rights of 4orthern labor In
thQ genata, and whose long career as a legislator
gives indubitable evidence that the interests of this
great country can be safely confided to his Wisdom
End fidelity.
Resolved, That Vol. Andrew Cl. Curtin, the
People's candidate for Governor, is evidently de-
serving of our hearty and triumphant support.
Himself a Pennsylvanian, he.has ever devoted his
energies to the great Interests of his mighty t3tate.

Reiolved, Mat we are demist advocates of a
liberal protective tariff. Our bankrupt trent:Si,
our paralysed commerce, and our belgrand bmtn
ren all plead for the protection of our laborers
against the pauper labor of Europe. Although
long deeelvedand often betrayed an this meelvital
question by perfidious Democratic mien, the time
has now come when Pennsylvania moat and will
have a revision of our :embus laws, go that we
may at once replenish our treasury end revive oar
languishing_ industry.
While Mr. Mann MIS speaking, after the adop
tion of the resolutions, the torchlight wineskin
reached the building, when the members bearing
their lighted tortilla entered, and counter -mareled
several times/ around ithe Wigwam, prodoedag a .
fine effect, and exciting the 'ethane/en to Noah a
pitch that the; speaking was suspended for some
time. After order had been restored, Philip 8.
White made a speech.
An outside meeting was organised, at which
Wm. D. Kelley, Wm. B. Minn, Philip S. White,
and others made speeches.
The "distinguished strangers" who were tirt
=aced to speak, did not make their appearanee.
The Wigwam is situated on Birth street, above
Brown, on the lot where the old bay market stood
in former years. Dosing Its corustruetlon, it has
attracted no little attention from its meet ap
pearance, It Is of wood, hexagonal in form, and
is about 100 feet in diameter. The mitre pole is
40 feet in height, and upon this a Seg. Mar,
34 feet high, is placed—making the total height
feat. The seats are so arranged as to face the
speakers' stand. which is placed in the eastern and
of the hall. Two thousand persons can be estea
fortably seated, while as many more can be ac
commodated with standing room. The interior is
lighted with gas. Ample provision is made for in
gress and egress, and, in the event of any sudden
alarm, the building can be emptied in a few nil
notes. Directly in front of the Wigwam, and on
Sixth street, the apace is encland by a " nir
flume.

had gone there to attend a political meeting. A
member of the Lincoln Rangers, of Germantown,
named Edward Hartshorne, who aeoonipanied the
excursionists to Norristown, was missing on the
