April It MM.
Sealed Proposals for far-wahine ail Looks and Keys, of
tee lands, to be substituted far the looks and keys now
tied on the United fixates Mails, will be received at
;on Department until nine o'clock A. M. the tenth dm
°Ugly, M.
It being desirable to obtain look' arid keys of a new
construction. and invented enormity for the exolusive
tie of the United &etas mails, no model is prescribed
for bidders, the Department relying for its selection on
tit results of mechanical skill and ingenuity which a
fair competition, now invited, May Produce. It is
deemed neciesied7 only to state that a mail look should
le self-looking, and that its other principal reenuntes
are uniformity, security, lightness. strength, durability,
royalty of construction, and futility of use.
Two kinds of mail looks and keys-one of brass and
the other of iron-different in form and conatruotion,
are required; and proposals should specify, separately,
ite price of each iron lock. each key for came, each
Irate look, and each brass key for same.
Duplicate samples or pattern, of each, kind of look'
proposed are required to be submitted th the Prono
un; one of each kind of sample looks to be roosted up
sad finished, and another to be open or unrivaled, eel
Oust de, internal structure may easily. be examinee.
harry sample must be plainly marked with the bidder's
mime.
The looks offered should not be patented, nor should
Heir internal construction be otherwise publicly known,
sr be similar to any looks heretofore used ; and th , y
taw. be warranted not. inanYway, to infringe or in
terfere with any patented invention.
The various sample looks promoted by bidders will
to submitted to a board of examiners, to be commis
nosed by the Postmaster General, for the purpose of
itsmining and reporting on them ; and unless the
Postmaster General shalt deem it to be for the interest
of the Department to reject all the proposals and gym:n
om' submitted under this adveruseMent, contracts
all, uponthe report of the examiners, be entered into,
U soon as practicableonth the anceassfalbidder,whose
oak, are adopted, for furnishing similar looks and keys
foe four years, as they may be required and ordered.
with the right, on the aart of tee Postmaster General
for the time being, to extend and continue the contract
is force for an additional term of four years. on giving
:once, in writing, to the contractor not lees than six
manna before the termination of the first term of lour.
rears; or at the expiration of the first term el four
lean, to contract with any other party for furnishing
smiler or different rooks and keys, as the Postmaster
several may determine.
The contractor must agree and be able to furnish, if
tended and orderer, 6,000 brass looks and 6000 brass
re,., within three months from the time of entering
ni o contract. and 30.000 iron locks and 30 000 iron keys.
within eight months from such time. But the Post
ouster General wilt reserve the right to increase or di
minish, as the wants or mtatests of the service may ,
iemend, the quantities of the looks and keys above spe
eimi, with *proportionate allowance of time to fur
nish them.
Eh the looks furnished by the contractor must be
warranted to keep in good working order for two years.
at the !ordinary - use of the service, when not subected
le obvious vtolence ; such as become defective during
that time, to be replaced with perfect locks without
drags,
The contractor la.' be required to deliver the lockil,
st his own expense, at the Poet Office Department,

teethes of five looks each, and meciirreli Peeked in
!Dolan boxes containing not more than two hundred
orbs mirth. The keys are to be delivered to an agent
0 1 the Department. duly and specially authorized in
each ease, to take 'charge of and convey the same from
Fos contractor's factory to the Department, where both
cots and keys are to be inspected and approved before
is
shall be paid for.
The contractor will be required to give bond, with
imp% security, in the sum of twenty-five thousand
collars, for the faithful performance of the contract on
_
parr, both as to furnishing the supplies ordered, and
lauding the manufacturing of the mail locks und,k B 7,l

therefore be considered, if not sooompamea with a
gintrantee from the proposed sureties (whose
inponsibility most be. certified by the Postmaster at
tic risco of their residence) that they wilt become
"noneible, on the required bond, for the fulfilment of
the contrain by the bidder, in ease such proposals be
accepted
In deciding on the proposals and specimens, the Post
',Aster General may deem it expedient to select the
'NI look of one bidder and the iron lock of another.
Ds therefore reserves the right of contracting with
afore= individuals for Buck different. kinds of locks as
.e may select.

fashionable resorts, which are likely to be
almost neglected this year.
To Southern ostentation, we suspect, may
be attributed the truly absurd practices which
have made numerous and expensive changes
of fashionable attire an actual necessity, at
the watering places. What is the object of
visiting these resorts? What, but the desire
and design of recruiting the physical and men
tal system after several months of what is
called ...fashionable life," covering the winter
and the spring. But the sallow-faced ladles
frcm the South, who are nothing without their
wardrobes, could not or would not understand
any thing but making the most of all practica
ble opportunities of showing off their fine
clothes—mast probably obtained on credit.
Hence, a variety of costumes ;--for breakfast,
lunch, and dinner ; for bathing, walking, riding,
and sitting; far the sentimental lounge, and,
above all, for the exercise of dancing, (in the
dog-days!) most vulgarly called "The Hop."
Of course, all other ladies in the crowd were I
compelled to follow suit-4S husbands' and
lathers' diminished bank-accounts most sadly
attested. Hence life at a watering-place, where
money-expenditure ought have been less than
seeing company at home, became an enormous
charge. Hence, more than all, the fatigued and
faded votaries of fashion whose proper aim in
leaving home ought to have been to rem
perate—to renew the wasting springs of health
—to recall the departing roses, plunged again
into the follies of parties and costly dress, and
returned home, unimproved by change of
scene, and visibly more weary, fading, and
c= used up" than before. We wish that they
could see how the daughters of the highest
English nobility and the wealthiest million
aires pass their two or three months at water
ing places. Not in a renewal of the dissipa
tions which they have quitted, but in early
rising, plain food, abundant exercise, simplest
attire, and total abstinenco from dancing—
except once or twice a week, and then the
party to break up about ten o'clock at latest,

Saratoga and Newport are likely to have a
mighty slim array of visitors this season. We
hear of only two places on the Eastern coopt)
above New York, with any chance of being In

ford, both in Connecticut. Mr. H. Lee Sem

which he has lately remodelled, refurnished,
and enlarged, and the city is one of the hand
somest in the United States, with an amphi
theatre of hills surrounding it, on all aides
except where Long Island Sound washes it.
If the traveller wish to change, keeping still
on the Sound, he can pass from New Raven
to Guildford, forty minutes' trip by railroad,
where Mr. Lee . Scranton keeps the Sachem's

We should not wonder if Niagara be, well
attended, this year—but not by as many as

diminution of pilgrims (of pleasure) from the

Our own State of Pennsylvania has a large
and agreeable variety of summer resorts. We
shall here mention such of these as are ad
vertised in THE PaEss—not having the most
distant idea of helping people who neglect
their own interests, not the remotest notion of
gratuitously giving them publicity. As 'there
is no small degree of jealousy among tho ho
tel-keepers at these places, we shall name
them in alphabetical order
Bedford Springs, to which access is becom
ing more facile and pleasant every year, has a
greater variety of mineral waters, we .believe,
than any other watering-place in the world.
It is charmingly situated, and is generally
well attended. We hope that Major Watson,
most genial of men, continues to nourish
there, like Falstaff, cc witty himself, and cause
of wit in others?' Mr. A. G. Allen is a mine
host" at Bedford Springs, presiding, in feet,
over a vast caravanserai, with most popular
rule.
Cresson Springs, in Cambria county, on
the summit of the Alleghany mountains, only
2,300 feet abpve the level of the sea, is one of
the moat romantic and agreeable of summer
resorts. The approach to it, by the 'Penn
sylvania Central Railroad, is one of the tri
umphs—one of the Miracles of engineering.
It will be kept, this season, by Mr. G. W.
Mullin, formerly of the St. Lawrence Rotel, in
this city—a gentleman to whom all who know
him will heartily wish the most complete suc
cess.
Doubling Gap, in Cumberland county, within
thirty miles of Harrisburg, by railroad, is fa
mous for White Sulphur and Ohalybeate
Springs, and the proprietors (Messrs. Coyle,
Ahl, and Reader) are prepared to make all
guests as comfortable as possible.
There is good fishing at Harrisburg, by which
flows the broad and majestic Susquehanna,
and, as the capital, it is a place which people
must visit, every now and then, on business.
We recommend them to stop at Herr's Hotel,
now leased by Messrs. Scott Coyle and J. Gil
bert Herr, who have lately improved it, in all
respects.
Ephrata Mountain Springs, in Lancaster
county, are now in charge of Mr. S. C. Slay
maker, who was connected for many years
with the late proprietors. Iho hotel has first
rate accommodations for 400 visitors, the
situation is superb, and the distance is only
thirteen miles from Lancaster.
From Huntingdon, the Broad-Top Mountain
Railroad carries visitors to the Mountain
Rouse, and those who leave Philadelphia in
the morning can take tea, at their journey's

We have now to cross the border, and ex
tend our travel into the adjacent State of New
Jersey, which rejoices in three sesobathing
resorts—namely, Long Branch, Cape May, and
Atlantic City, which is situated between the
other two.
Long Branch, in Monmouth county, N. J.,
is on the coast, and only thirty-three miles
south of New York. It is very much visited
by tho Gothamites, with a fair sprinkling or
Philadelphians. Of the accommodations

Cape May is the most southern county
In New Jersey, is wholly of alluvial forma•
tion, was organised in 1710, and derives its
name from one Cornelius Jacobs° May, a
Dutch Bailor, who visited Delaware Bailit
1623. The sea-bathing place called Cape
May is actually in Cape Island. When rail.
way communication between this place and
Philadelphia is established, (it is now in due
course of being done,) Cape May will greatly
gain thereby. As it is, of late years, Atlantic
City has become a formidable rival. The fol
lowing leading hotels are now open at Cape

Proprietors; Columbia House, James H.,
Land ; and National Hall, Aaron Harretson.
About seven years ago—actually on July 1,
1854—the Camden and Atlantic Railroad was
opened through to the public, at which time
what is now called Atlantic City was literally no
thing of a place—except that it possessed three
admirable essentials. These are an excellent
beach, an unsurpassed locale for sea•bathing,
and opportunities of having some of the finest
coast fishing in the world. The Railway, an
nihilating time and speed, placed Atlantic
City within a reasonable distance from Phila
delphia, and under the active and able
nagement of John Brodhead, Esq., President
of the line since 1857, the various interests of
Atlantic City have been well cared for. Mr.
Brodhead'a activity, talent, and bonhomie have
made him a most popular Railroad President,
and, we have no doubt, have materially helped
to make the place. Wo perceive, by our ad
vertising columns, that Atlantic City means to
be very much alive this season. As many as
fifteen different hotels in Atlantic City are ad
vertised in Tax PRESS this morning.
The United States Hotel, into the occu.
pancy of which our excellent friend Jerry
McKibben entered last year, is entitled to pre
cedency here, as the largest hotel in Atlantic
City. It has every accommodation, including
gas and excellent water (if you desire to adul
terate your wine, Bourbon, or Cognac), and—
in one word, Mr. McKibben is emphatically a
gentleman who can keep a betel.
The Surf House, H. S. Benson, Proprietor,
is a well-managed hotel, and has hitherto been
favored with a large share of public favor.
The other houses we need only name, as it is
impossible to do such a wearisome thing as

From the above list, it will be seen that
Atlantic City is ready to accommodate the

that there is every prospect of the present
being by far its most populous and popular

NO. EILL-THE SOUTHWEST.
Andrew Johnson, that intrepid leader, who
alone of the Southern statesmen of eminence
has maintained a pure and patriotic fealty to
the flag of his country, reached Washington
yesterday. Much anxiety bad been felt for
his safety. It was known that the Secession
ists of Tennessee, aided and abetted by the
arms and ammunition of the Confederate
junta, had issued a warrant for his arrest. The
successful execution of such a document could
not result in anything short of a so-styled ju
dicial indictment of the vilest character, Wits
Victim were even permitted to live through the
gauntlet of assassination, which would beset
him. Bat Providence, which always takes
care of those for whom it has work to do, has
defeated, thus far, the machinations of the
rebels toward Gov. Johnson, and has con
ducted him securely through the perils which
surrounded him and his noble band of East
Tenneseee patriots to the scene of his Sena
torial dillies. As I have before said, there is
no man more highly fitted for such a crisis as
this, on account of his courage, ability, and
integrity, than this second Jackson, whom
Tennessee presents to the Union. I say
Tennessee, for by a careful scrutiny of the late
vote no one, who is at all acquainted with
that State, can doubt that a large majority of
her people are still true to the Government.
The confidence which Governor Johnson
expresses is based upon a judgment almost
unerring in regard to public and popular
affairs. Yon will remember last winter when
the Senator took his firm, uncompromising
stand against treason, that the politicians and
newspapers of Tennessee declaimed in such
loud terms against bin], as to frighten the
more timid into the notion that a disastrous
defeat awaited him. Bat did it? The sequel
proved a triumph as gladdening to the heart
of the nation as it could be cheering to his
own. Seventy thousand majority of freemen
echoed his bold, manly words on the floor of
the Senate,lrom the hills and dales of the land
of Jackson. This against the press, against
the politicians, against the intrigues, corrup
tions, and crime of a well-organized and
equipped treason. it rolled back the waves
of faction, and exposed the schemes of Dis
union.` It echoed back, too, the voice of
patriotism which was swelling in the hearts of
the true men of the Border States. It` '
awakened the slumbering; it encouraged the
slow ; it strengthened the weak; it awed, for
a moment, the traitor; and served to encircle
the national flag with a fresh lustre and
beauty. The home of Jackson sent up a
great shout for freedom and Union. It was
worth a hundred victories ; and so, the whole
country accepted it.
But why the change ? What has so sud
denly altered the tone of these people ? What
inexplicable tide is this which bears secession
and treason on that bosom, which so lately
flowed smoothly on in the deep channel of
law, liberty, and the maintenance thereof 7
It is easily explained. The telegraphic
wires which brought the President's proala
mation of the 15th of April to Nashville were
scarce cold before the Secession Governor of
Tennessee sent back a treacherous answer.
He called the Legislature (a Secession Legis
lature, thoroughly committed to the schemes
of the Dieunionists) together—he authorized
the illegal acts of General Pillow—he con
nived at the raising of troops—he colleagned
with the powers at Montgomery—he bought
up the already-corrupted channels of the
press—he coaxed, persuaded, awed, and
threatened the more timid of those partisans
who thought that there was still some reason
in the perpetuation of the Union, some justice
in the Government—he caused to be closed
the Legislative doors, stopped every channel
of truth, and stealthily, recklessly, but adroitly
and ably consummated a war programme in
that secret conclave, which, when the
doors were thrown open, startled the peo
ple of the State, beyond expression,
with the black and bloody spectacle of trea
son which it presented. But what could be
done? Already armies were collected, troops
pouring in, and the great machinery of local
patronage and power turned loose, like-blood
hounds upon that calm, clear, practical com
mon Besse, which would pause and reflect. It
was too late. The work of treason was con
summated. The emissaries of Jeff Davis were
everywhere. The illegal bodies of troops
were everywhere, mustering, clustering, and
blustering. Confederate flags i waved thick as
cherries. Drams beat, as it a foe stood at the
threshold. The press misrepresented, the
politicians either misrepresented or remained
silent, terrified by threats of assassination. A ,
reign of terror was begun, as effective as in
the days of the Guillotine. Before the day
appointed to decide the ordinance, the capital
of the State, and the chief cities, were
converted into so many armed camps, to brow- ,
beat and bully honest men into treason. Those
of the leading men who attempted to speak
were driven out of their homes by armed
marauders, at the point of the bayonet._ In
west and middle Tennessee not a voice was
heard in favor of the Union, whilst Bell,
Brown, Harris, and so on, ay by day and
night by night, filled the popular mind with
idle stories and false arguments, whilst they
excited and inflamed the heart with the idea of
conquest and extermination. It was too
much, The menace of sinew, and the power
of mind, combined, misstating, misquoting,
and constantly deluding, could not but prevail.
Without a batinoT, Nova ,that which trailed in
With their unanimous sanction, and the
consciousness that the rest of the State would
have joined them, had a fair expression been
allowed, Gov. Johnson resumes his place in
the Senate. He has proven his double right
to be regarded as a leader '
worthy of the high
eat trash by the grandest efforts in the field,
as well as forum. The great battle, from
whose smoke and din he has just emerged, a
proud victor, was fall of danger—danger upon
every side. Ho breasted it with a fervor and
manhood which cannot fail to awaken the
most enthusiastic applause. For two months
he has traversed that mountainous region,
speaking daily to his people, whilst assassins
and their agents lurked in every gorge. Bra
ving every odds and obstacle, deaf alike to
the breath of treason, or the voice of warning
from traitors, he has lifted up our banner
where none but the bravest would dare to go.
For men in the North, where there is but one
common sentiment, to be patriotic is little
merit, but for a man in the South not only to
remain a patriot, but to carry his whole people
with him, deserves something more than
praise. Such is Andrew Johnson. He has
stricken the first great blow in the Southwest.
With Missouri, Kentucky, Western Virginia,
and East Tennessee, there is strong ground to
;hope that treason will soon sink in that part of
the country. As THEXCLIAIID.

My letters of the 16th and 27th ultimo I trust
have been received, giving particulars of our
proceedings since leaving New York.
We left Pensacola on the morning of the
28th of May, arriving off this place in the
evening, finding here the Powhatan and her
tender, the Oriental, on duty. They reported
that nothing had been done since their stay
here but the ornamenting, on the Sunday pre.
viens, of Fort Morgan with the rebel flag,
with the stars and stripes beneath it, Union
down; but such actions have become so com
mon with the blackguards that we no longer
wonder at it. The following morning the
Powhaian was sent down to assist the Brook.
lyn in blockading the Mississippi, and we took
up our position here, making preparations for
any emergency. Daring the day we placed a
target at a distance of two miles, and tried
the range of our guns with loaded shell and
shot, and being on an even keel, the trial
proved perfectly satisfactory ; when we do
take up the position intended for bombarding
Pensacola, our guns will have a telling effect.
Fort Morgan, taking the hint from us, and, de.
siring to let us see what they were able to do,
threw shell from their heaviest guns nearly
across the main channel.
We have hoarded several English vessels
outward bound, and from papers received of
them, we understand that the rebels have
seized all vessels belonging to the North as
lawful prizes, and are swearing bitter ven
geance against the Niagara, declaring their
tut ntioe~ tale bc+r from us. I can but ex
claim, as Jack Cade, 41 Let them come on,
we're armed."
A few days ago we ran down and hove to a
couple of fishing smacks, from New Orleans.

reported her to be in chase of a steamer, close
in shore, and having fired a blank cartridge,
and then a shell at her, upon which we imme
diately started in chase, supposing that our
small friend had got into trouble with some
prowling privateer. On our coming up, the
strange steamer proved to be the Miramon,
(the same taken by the Saratoga some fifteen
months since), on board of which was a prize
crew; the Brooklyn having made capture of
her in endeavoring to run the blockade, she
being bound from Havana to New Orleans
with passengers, and she was sent under charge
of Lieut. Adams, lst Assist. Bug. Brooks, and
a prize crew of thirteen men, to report to our
captain, and let him take action on her, and
was making the best of her way for us, when
challenged by a blank cartridge from the
Mount Vernon. Lieut. Adams never having
seen her before, and not being aware that such
a vessel was on the station, took her for a pri.
vateer, and having nothing but side arms on
board, feared he was in a fix, and endeavored to
run clear by keeping close in shore until we
should come up. On our coming up we sent
a boat alongside the Miratrion ' and learned
the state of affairs ; and as the lifiramon
claimed to be English, under consular papers,
and was nearly out of coal and provisions,
and the passengers in a suffering condition,
she was allowed to put into Mobile and land
her passengers, with the proviso that her
officers would pledge themselves to take in no
cargo, and only sufficient coal and provisions
to last them to Havana, and sail for that place
immediately. There is no doubt but that this
steamer, like many other vessels hereabouts
sailing under English colors, are in some mea
sure mixed up with the rebels ; but our orders
are of such a nature that we can do nothing
on suspicion, but only on point blank evidence;
and I assure you we are all waiting impa
tiently for something to be done by Govern
ment; teresisting (I will not say living) here,
day after day, under the rays of the hottest
and brightest of suns, suffering from its heat,
and when night comes on settling yourself
away snugly in some imaginary cool spot, for,
a comfortable snooze, to have your "marble
halls" dashed to the ground by the "drum
beating at the dead of night," rushing to the
armory, and " buckling on the armor of mis
fortune," we find that the foe is imaginary,
and once more go to snooze it out till morn
ing, cursing the unlucky wight whose fears
have got the better of his judgment. So we
live, day by day.
Last evening the Mount Vernon arrived
escorting the Parkersburg, which is loaded
with fresh provisions and ice for the squadron.
Oh, ye epicures! can ye imagine the luxury
in prospective for us who have been existing
on " navy ration" so long?
Yours, respectfully, BLus-Tor.
Since writing this morning, an expedition
was planned to cut out a schooner which was
noticed alongside of a hulk close to the fort,
engaged in removing the spars, &c., from her.
So at dinner time the Mount Vernon took in
tow three of our boats, loaded with armed
men, and ender charge of Mr. Guest, our first
lieutenant, (who is, by the by, war to the
knife,) taking them within half a mile of where
the hulk lay, when they pulled np and took
charge, not a shot being fired, the impudence
of the thing so taking them by surprise, night
under the fire of the fort. On examination,
she proved to be a wrecker, a new schooner
of about a hundred tons, newly coppered. In
searching her the Stars and Stripes were found
in a mutilated condition, and as these wreck
ers are our greatest foes on this coast, by their
false beacons, we took her as a lawful prize,
giving her crew an opportunity to leave in
their boats, and now the schooner ..did lies at
anchor =item of us, and will to-morrow have
two 24-pounders on board of her, and start on
a cruise for the benefit of " Uncle dam."

FLYING ASTILLEILY.—The citizens of Utica
propose to organise and equip a battery of flying
artillery, comprising et leen four guns, unty
four horses and one hundred men, to be tendered
to the United BMWs tiovernment for waive ser
vice. The ram.of $28,000 will be required for this
- purse. •
The pOt season, or rather the interval be
tween this and the preceding one, has pro
duced a number of marked improvements,
both in Atlantic City, and the means of access
to it. Chief among the latter will be noticed
with pleasure the splendid new terry boat,
Ararapha, between Vine.street wharf and the
depot at Cooper's Point, instead of the wretch
ed old craft of former seasons, which, by an
odd conjunction of circumstances, always made
it a point to run afoul the bar, and cr stick"
whenever your correspondent happened to be
on board. The entire road has been over
hauled, and strengthened with new ties, and
the bridges have been reconstructed, making
the Camden and Atlantic Railroad now as safe
and smooth as any other in the country, and
quite as pleasant for travelling as any road in
this Algeria° State of sand, brushwood, and
berry bushes.
The extent of building improvements, con
sidering "the times," is remarkable. Among
the latter are several eligibly-located hotels,
of medium capacity, about as many large pri
vate boarding-houses, and a large number of
cottages. The new hotels are located as fol
lows : The "Constitutional House," (kept by
Mr. James J. Barr, of the Old Globe,) on At
lantic avenue, opposite the National; "The
Alhambra," (by Messrs. Dubois & Young,)
on the corner of Atlantic and Massachusetts
avenues, and the 4 ( Kentucky House," on the
avenue of that name, immediately opposite
46 The Surf." cc The Kentucky "is conducted
by Messrs. F. &P. Quigley. Of the new pri
vate boarding-house, the beautifully situated
structure, at the foot of Pennsylvania avenue,
entitled the , c Seaside House," by Mr. David
Scattergood, will command attention ; and the
same may be said of the new cc Chester County
House," by Jacob Keim. The streets have
all been placed in first-rate condition for walk
ing and driving, and neatly all the old houses
(old, not in fact, but by way of distinction, as
the whole town has scarcely more years than
the youngest person visiting it, not in actual
infancy) have been repainted and otherwise
embellished to attract, and contribute to the
comfort of visitors.
The bathhouses have been moved down
from their winter quarters to the tide line, and
upon all sides vigorous preparations are being
pushed rapidly forward to receive the large
forces that are daily expected to make a pre
cipitate descent from your city, and little doubt
is now entertained that all these stupendous
works will be taken by storm, by the brave
Men and fair women of the Old Keystone, be
tween this and the tenth of July. Of course,
the siege will be immediately pressed forward
from the land works, on Atlantic and other
avenues, to the Sea. The assailing (as well
as the sailing, if they should be in for a cap
size) parties may be checked with a damper
at the first brush ; but having just emerged
from the foaming bosom of our venerable
friend Nep, I can guarantee that their recep
skin Will be quite VA mild and genial as the
characteristic majesty of his surging breakers
at this point will warrant. Rusticating patriots
Will be the more inclined to turn their faces in
this direction from the nature of the route.
The people along the line, old and young, big
and little, of both sexes, being, tea man, loyal,
there are no masked ba,tteriee, filled with
murderous rebels, to encounter, rendering it
necessary for a man to make his will before
leaving home. On the contrary, the chances
for long life are improved every step of the
way hitherward. Absecon Beach, you know,
was celebrated for itshealthfulness long before
the idea of Atlantic City was conceived in the
mind of its oldest inhabitant. Residents,
"native and to the manor born," assert that
death here, except occasionally through care
lessness by drowning, is unknown, and that
for one to shuffle off his mortal coil by a
natural process, he must, ex necessitate, leave
the island.
The prospects of the season, for several
reasons, are encouraging. There are already
quite as many visitors here as there have ever
been at so early a date. The " United States,"
kept by Jeremiah McKibbin, Esq., a very
prince of landlords, is gradually filling up.
The advent of Mr. McKibbin on the island, by
the way, is admitted by all the hotel proprie
tors in the place to have been auspicious. His
liberal policy last season, of continuing the
United States" open several weeks after
paying date was - of great service to the resi
dent proprietors of the lesser hotels, and was
appreciated by them. Of course Mr. McKib
bin made money, and could well afford this
sacrifice at the close of the season, yet his
generosity in doing so is nevertheless recog
nized. His honse is now in complete order;
many parts of it have been repainted ; the culi
nary department of it has been organized to
excel, it possible, its reputation last season, and
no expense has been spared to render it the
watering-place hotel of the - Union, par excel
lence. Like his Bible namesake, Jeremiah has
prophesied—that if the summer affords a re
spectable amount of hot weather, Atlantic;
City will have a prosperous season. As a
Philadelphian, I shall be gratified to see this
prediction verified ; but even should it not be,
Jeremiah of the U. S. is not the man to follow
it up with tt lamentations," either about the
city sitting solitary that was fall of people,"
or any other city.
The other large houses on the Island, cc The
Surf," by Mr. Benson, of the Ashland, (open
since the 17th inst., admirably situated, and
well kept;) the "Mansion House," by Colo
nel Thayer, and "Congress Hall," by Mr.
' Garrett, are all fully prepared for the Beason ;
and the same may be said of several other less
extensive, less expensive, but well-appointed
and exceedingly comfortable houses not yet
named, as the "Light House Cottage," by
Mr. John Wootton; "The Clarendon," (for
merly the gc Virginia House " but changed in
name on account of the bad odor in which
that State has been placed among Northern
freemen by her traitors,) kept by Dr. Jenkins ;
the " Tammany House, by Mr. E. Cleaver;
the "Ashland House," by Mr. John S. Stokes;
the "Washington House," by Mr. John
Rotherham ; the gc Franklin House," by Mrs.
Maguire; the "Central House," by Mr. M.
Lawlor ; the " Columbia House," by Mr. Ed
ward Doyle ; the " Star Hotel,' by Mr.
Samuel Adams; (g Bedloe's," at the upper
end, and the " Neptune House," by John
Snuck.
Beyond the upsetting of a few bath houses,
which were not sufficiently withdrawn for the
storm-tides of the winter months, there have
been no marine disasters at this place worth
chronicling since last season. For some dis
tance below the southern point of the inlet
the beach, in emulation of Southern rebels,
has "seceded," in some cases more than a
hundred feet, and the same is true of a point
some distance below. Some of the inter
vening points have gained by this defection
but, upon the whole, the bathing grounds
were never in a better condition.
In a letter, dated from Atlantic on the 19th
of June, last year, I remarked that, later in
the season would "find here scores of Wash
ingtonians, Baltimoreans, Charlestonians, and
representatives of all our large Western and
Northwestern cities." There are some Wash
ingtonians here already, but a large Southern
representation this year is neither expected nor
wished for. The fact is, the thing might be
mutually disagreeable. The c$ South Caro
lina House," on Atlantic avenue, that was,
has had to daub its name over with paint, from
the force of public sentiment, and the city
authorities have even been importuned to
change the nomenclature of the streets, on
account of its including the names of several
Rebel States. This, however, has not yet
been decided upon, and probably will not be ;
but of this one thing the too.long pampered
and overrated gentry of the sunny South may
rest assured, should they this season avail
themselves of the benefits of our climate—
they will have either to repent Uncle Sam,
keep dumb, or play the hypocrite. Thu so
called gi Southern chivalry," of which sensi
ble people have been surfeited long ago, is at
length popularly estimated at its par value,
and some other passport into "first society"
will be required at our watering places here
after than long hair, a sallow look, and an intro
duction as a Sold/iron. Informer years it bee of
ten been a question with me whether to regard
.with more disgust the overweening arrogance
of these lordly islave-diivera, or the toadyism
M.LLY TOP.
On arriving at Washington, we went to quar
ters in Trinity Church. On Wednesday morn
ing we made a dress parade, marching through
the grounds of the White House, and were re•
viewed by the President from the steps of the
mansion. Our tents are pitched outside of the
city. Three regiments from Maine, one from
Now Hampshire, the Nineteenth New York, a
portion of Frank Patterson's command, Col.
Small's regiment, and one from Rhode Island,
are encamped in the neighborhood. Oar
picket guard is mounted with loaded pieces,
and the greatest preeaution is observed, espe
cially at night. J. IL C.
• Volunteer React Fund.
Coriespondonoe of The Prcso.l
hlearerra, Pa., June 20, 1861.
I noticed several articles in The Press on the
allowance made to families of volunteers by
the committee in your city. I was especially
impressed by one of your recent articles, in
WhiCh the position was taken that the fund
was only for the relief, not the entire support,
of the families. This is undoubtedly correct,
except where families are unable to do any
thing toward their own support, or, in other
words, where they are wholly dependent for
support on the volunteers. The article also
laid great stress on the ic extreme destitution"
which should exist before an increase of al
lowance should be granted, &c.
Now, when we consider that the volunteers
have generally enrolled themselves in our room
and stead—that they go to fight our battles as
well as their own—that if they refused to en-
dure the hardships of the campaign and risk
their lives, we who remain at home must have
taken their places or been ridden over rough
shod by the rebels—surely these rigid rules
might have been either spared or ameliorated.
a wife receives but one dollar a week, each
child fifty cents a week, and three dollars a
week is the largest sum allowed any family.
Out of this, rent and fuel must be purchased,
and food, lights, soap, clothing, and wear and
tear of furniture be provided for. Is it not too
small a sum
Take a with and four or five small children :
what can she earn — (besides attending to her
little - ones) to make $3 per week feed and
clothe her family, pay her rent, and find her
lights and fuel? Yet, unless sick, or reduced
to a extreme destitntion," so as to constitute
hers a case of cc absolute necessity," she is
not to receive a cent more than that small
amount. Surely the contributors of that fund
did not mean that it should be so very nig
gardly dealt out to the loved ones of those
who risk comfort, health, limb, and life, for
the cause of us all
I am happy to say , that here, in Lancaster
county, where rents and provisions are so
much cheaper than in your city—even here,
in the country, we do not stint soldiers' fami
lies so closely. A wife receives, generally,
$1.50 per week, and each child 50 cents ; and
the limit is $4 tor a large family. In sickness
there is an increase, of course. No aid is
given excel t where the parties depended
wholly or in part on the volunteer. Possibly,
in some cases, this allowance may be more
than needed; but as an average it is deemed
very fair, and enables a majority of the fami
lies to live nearly as well as when its head Was
at home. A. B. G.

The circular of the North Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, asking for the funding of the next
three oats of curette falling due, meets with very
general favor from the bondholder., ae far as we
hear their opinions. Some of them are !UMW to
think that the last-mentioned coupons, those of
July, 1862, might have been omitted from the ar
rangement, but they console themselves with the
reflection that it is all the better for the company
to be on the safe side in making such an ar:lnge
meet, and that if it should prove 'not to be mai
eery to postpone payment of all the three Pete of
coupons, a payment can readily be made on ao
count of the scrip issued for them.
The great quicksilver mines of New. Almaden,

immense. A new lead mine has been discovered
by sluicing off the dirt about an old furnace stand.
Advises from San Francisco to let inst. state that
the workmen have reached the depth of 18 feet
below the surface, and the quicksilver is 'Unfound
in little globules so thick that a stream follows the
stroke of a pick. Qaloksilver is worth about 45

The Montreal Witness remarks in regard to a
project to establish direct trade between Quebec
and the lakes : " The Hon. W. H. Montt has been
moving in Quebec to promote a direct trade be
tween the lakes and that city, as a means of at
Western business. He proposes to have
the canals deepened, and to build large propellers,
by which means he expects to send grain from the
head of Lake Ontario to Quebee, for 10 cents per
bushel. The Quebec merchants received his com
munication favorably, and resolved to have a pub
lic meeting on the subject. It Is probable that
when lake crafts go to Quebec to meet ocean ves
sels, they will shortly afterward find their way to
Green Island or Bin, which are at the natural
janction of the two kinds of navigation."

Morgan et al. vs. the Ohio and Mississippi Rail
road, ordering the road and its rolling stock to be
sold under a deed of trust, to sour° the payment

The Rockford Democrat says that the last rail
will be laid this week on the K., R., and R. I. R.,
between that city and Kenosha. This enterprise,
which has for so many years bean -talked about,
and which has cost so mash time and money, is
about completed.
The New York Evening Post, speaking of the
stock and money market In that city to-day, says :
The stock market opened with a fair degree of
steadiness, but is weaker at the close. The weak
ness, however, is confined to a few of the leading
railroad shares—the bond list presenting a much
firmer appearance than on Saturday.
Galena and Chicago feint per cent,, making a
decline of three per oent. since Friday last. The
immediate cause of this decline is the advieu
from Chicago, which make it quite certain that no
dividend will be disbursed in July. Many of the
stockholders looked for at least two per cent., bat
it appears that the party of the Board desirous of
providing for the bonds maturing next year pre
veiled.
Harlem was dal per cent. lower.
The market atter the board was quiet ; sales of
New York Central at 731a73/. Galena recovered
from 584 to sq, at which the last gatemen" made.
Government stocks are very quiet but steady.
The sixes of 1881 are loss freely offered at the
