The Old Homestead. • BY ALTOS GARY. 'When skies are growing warm and bright, And in the woodland bowers The Spring- time in her pale, faint robes Is calling up the Rowers, 'When all with nekedlittle feet The children In the morn Go forth and in the furrows drop The seeds of 'yellow corn ; What a beautiful embodiment Of ease devoid of pride Is the good old-fashioned homestead; With doors set open wide I But when the happiest time is come Tfiat to the year belongs, 'then all the vales are filled with gold And all the air with songs ; When fields of yet unripened grain And yet ungarnered stores ' , Remind tau thrifty husbandman Of ampler threshing floors, How pleasant, from the din and dust Of the thoroughfare aloof, Stands the old-fashioned homestead, With steep and mossy roof! When home the woodsman plods with are Upon his shoulder swung, And tithe knotted apple. tree Are scythe and sickle hung ; When low about her clay-built nest The mother-swallow trills, And deaorously slow the cows Are wending down the hills ; ) 'What a blessed picture of comfort In the evening shadows red, Is the good old-lastdoned homestead, With Its bounteous table spread! And when the winds moan wildly, When the woods are bare and Drown, And when the swallow's clay built nest From the rafter crumbles down ; When all the untrod garden paths Are heaped with frozen leaves, .And Icicles, like silver spikes, Are eat along the eaves ; `Then when the book from the shelf is brought, And the fire-lights shine and play, In the good old-fashioned homestead, Is the farmer's holiday. -Ent Whether the brooks be fringed with AWN'S, Or whether the Dead leaves fall, And whether the air be full of songs, Or never a song at all, And whether the vines of the strawberries Or frosts through the grasses run And whether it rain or whether it s hine, IS all to me as one, For bright as brightest sunshine Tim light of memory streams Round the old-fashioned homestead, Where I dreamed my dream of dreams. The Vagaries of MoUern Courtship. Many of the peculiarities of modern love and courtship are made pubic and revealed In the frequent appeals to newspaper edi tors for the decision of knotty questions, which, though apparently simple, no doubt greatly puzzle the young inquirers who are just learning the lessons of life. The co lumns of the New York Ledger and other papers which devote a portion of their space to answering the inquiries of cor respondents, show through what a wide range of topics extend, but nearly all are hinged upon the great central epoch of life•znatriniony. The bashful lover comes to the editor for some ray of hope or promise, in the future, and to inquire y - what magic means he may gain the affections of the young lady in whose presence he has that tongue-tied, fish out-of-the-water feeling which he regards as the infillible indication of rising love, and 'Which forever prevents him from making the speech which he has carefully com mitted and rehearsed in private. The mo dest maiden who thinks she has been too long passed by for others no better than she, writes to inquire if it was right that George should "go" with another girl af ter having "gone" with her, and doubtless experiences great satisfaction at being told that she is fortunate in getting rid of one so fickle. It is noticeable that contented people whose course of true love runs 'smooth seldom or never figure in these co lumns. It is only in what they are pleased to call moments of "soul-darkness" and " heart-despondency"-that youthful lovers breathe forth their yearnings in utterances like this. "Despair"—the very signature speaks unutterable woe—writes that—" A. young lady has behaved very ill to me. I have kept company with her for two or three years; ,every one con sidered us as engaged, and besides she has often told me she loved me. And yet, as we were walking out together the other evening, she told me she thought our love was all nonsense, and that we had better give up all thoughts about it. N ow, she Las given me a great deal of encourage ment in times past, and I think a great deal of her, and it seems as though it would kill me if I should have to give her up." In the only light in which " Despair " could look at it, his situation was truly deplorable, but the unprejudiced giver of advice at once explains that the young lady only meant to hint that the despairing lover had been al together too slow, and that if he could go with her two or ime years without making a marriage proposal after she had confess ed that she loved him, it was no wonder that she began to think his love was all nonsense. A " gushing" young man, whose ardent affections will undoubtedly hurry him into speedy matrimony, says : " There is a young lady whom I love with - my whole soul, with a love amounting almost to idola try. The only drawback is, A's is so cold, and does not display that affction when we are alone, which I think would be character istic of her love. She asserts that she loves rue as she never will love again, and says that her coldness is something which she cannot help. Do you not think that a little effort with practice would dispel these cool actions ?" How different the disposition of this young man from that of "Lena," whose lover, she says, is engaged to five other young ladies besides herself, but is the soul ..of honor in everything else.. She is willing to take her chance among the six expectant brides, and will be greatly triumphant if she can secure -the prize. "Lens"would not be pleased with another of the writers, 'whose letter is before us, who thinks that lie .was laughed at ethe other evening on making his first appearance in society at a large and fashionable party. He says : " I knew very little of the customs and habits of such an aristocratic gathering. I have been laughed at a great deal since, but for 'what I cannot imagine ; so, I will tell you as far as I remember exactly what trans pired during the evening, in the hope that you can tell me ' where the laugh comes in.' I entered the parlor, and was taken up and introduced to the lady of the house. Instead of just speaking one or two words and leav ing, I remained a short time near her, when she quickly introduced me to a young lady by her side. Her introduction was made very quick, as if she wished to get rid of pie. Well, I invited "the young lady to dance the first dance with me, which she did. We then promenaded until the next dance, which I also invited her to dance with me, which she did, after which we commenced to promenade as before. I at last began to feel as though I were keeping her tee long, as a great many in the room emiled every time they saw us pass ; yet I 'was at a loss to know what to do ; when suddenly the lady of 'the house brought another young lady up, and introduced me, taking number one away. By this tine, I as sure y ou,l felt so embarrassed I could hardly stand, and after saying a few words to the young lady I left her with her Mende and came home." A. great many young men on first going into society don't know what to do with their hands, but this young gen tleman had a young lady put upon his hands and didn't know how to get rid of ler. He knew that he was retaining her company longer than either desired, but tunable to drop her in a graceful manner, he was compelled to remain until some kind person relieved the young lady, and put him in additional embarrasement y placing another under his charge. Whether people were really laughing at him, as he says, may be very rmich doubt ed. "I know they were talking of me," says Snub, in the play, "for they laughed consumedly." And many a young man, 'when in company, haspassed a gay group almost unnerved by a consciousness that he was the object of the mirth, when even the fact of his presence was not noticed. The young man w,hose letter is quoted above is the representative of a large class whose ideas of their own importance are greatly beyond the general estimate of the com munity, and will only learn wisdom by increase of years and an experience of their own weakness. Could it be any but a conceited puppy who would parade such a story as the following, and ask for advice upon it ? "Ohio says that as he was going home' with a girl from singing school, not long since, she remarked, in reply to an observation of his that he thought it: was a resplendent alight,' that she thought he was a resplend ent goose. -This remark," says' Ohio, 5 ' touched me very nearly, and I asked her for an explanation, which she peremptorily refused tco vouchsafe, saying that she thought what she had said was so plain that it required no explanation; and ex plain she would not, did not, and to this day has not. Now, sir, what do you say to such conduct on her part ? Would I not be warranted, under the circumstances, in discontinuing my visits to the young lady' until such a time as she shall see fit to ex plain the remark as to my being a resplen dent goose ?" Advice upon etiquette and the minor =orals is always pleasant to read, though :seldom followed, and as it should be rather for exceptional eases than to meet the coin anon exigencies which all soon learn how.- -to encounter, we select a few of the most extraordinary specimens of this species of counsel which we have noticed. Two ladies asked a gentleman the time ; he being busy.told them to take out his watch themselves and look, and they inquired if it would not be 'improper in them to do s e, it Certainly it , would," is the reply. some 'yonag,ladYinnet have felt much re _ lieved at, being told by our moralist that " a girl is under no Ilingstion_ to answer letters addressed to her by strange men, whether they be in or out of the army," The young men who remain at home will be pleased with the assurance that the soldier boys cannot set up an indisputable claim to the atten tions of all the young ladies ing the land. " Seventeen" is informed that she ought not to make advances, either in writing or otherwise, to any man whatever, even though it is leap year. But the practice of advertising for lovers is now so prevalent that it is doubtful if she will heed the ad ' vice. The limitations upon the privilege Of kissing are very ably discussed by seve ral correspondents. Nobody seems to up hold - or defend the very promiscuous kiss ing which many practice, while one editor expressed the opinion that "no lady should allow a gentleman to kiss her until after marriage." A. rule so stringent as that would, of course, find no favor with either sex, and, after discussing the right of a young man to kiss a young lady whose af fections he has engaged, one correspond ,ent puts the case in a practical way that few could answer his inquiries with truth and consistently advocate the restriction he opposes. "I would say," he writes, "to any married man who agrees to your doctrine, ' Did you ever spend any time in the society of her who became your wife before the day of mar riage? If so, did you , then hold the opinion that you now advocate ? Did you ever . take a sleigh-ride on a pleasant night in a cutter only large enough for two, and have to pay close attention to keep the robes around some one,? Did you ever stroll through pleasantgroves by moonlight, and find your arm encircling a slender waist, almost unawares ? And lastly, when taking y9ur leave at half paSt eleven o'clock P. M., did you take a parting glance at the dark brown curls that clustered so finely, and look into the brown eyes that looked so lovingly into yours ? Did you do, all this and remain true to your doctrine ? And did you think of any thing impioper, or did she for an instant suppose that you did ?' " He might also have asked, Were you ever at a Sanitary Fair where a young lady, with attractions as above, had kisses for sale at a dollar each ? Justifiable kiss ing must be the verdict in all such cases. Is it not surprising that Young America should still cling to this antediluvian pas time ? Everything else that has the taint I of " old fogyism" upon it is rejected. In. the costume, diet, and occupation of man. and woman, great improvements have been made since the time of Adam ; 'but our youths and maidens, in their honey-suckle days, must still amuse themselves..as did " the grand old gardener and his wife" in the years before the flood. If any one has an improvement to suggest let him an nounce it, and the experiment shall be tried. da Escape from Rebeldom—lnteresting Dela Is A Marietta (Ga.) correspondent, writing August 9th, describes interestingly an escape of a colonel from the clutches of rebels, after they had surprised, slaugh tered, or scattered his command. •He says: Colonel Capron, with his son, a youth aged seventeen years, and Lieut. Colkins, or the Bth Michigan Cavalry, arrived in town this morning, very much to the sur prise of all who were familiar with the de tails of the surprise, the topography of the country through which he came, and the numerous bands of guerillas that infest the region of the Chattahooehie. It appears that after the battle of Hillsboro he found his brigade to he composed of squads and detachments from the whole command, except Col. Adams' brigade, which had re mained organized. He was also alarmed to discover that not "more than one-third were armed. Having -left Athens, he marched clay and night, thinking by these long and forced marches to elude the ene my, who he knew was following him. The night before the morning of the at tack he made a march of nearly forty miles. His object was to pass all cross-roads, so that when he halted there would be less danger of an attack, because, when beyond these, he supposed that the enemy could only come from the front or rear. A large number of contrabands had followed the brigade, and heretofore at night had slept any where within the picket lines, but this morning at one o'clock Colonel Capron ordered them to encamp together on the left of the road. The rebels, instead of coming along the main road, diverged before they came to the pickets, and came in through the woods on both sides. They came upon the negroes first. Each one had two or more horses they were bringing through to our lines. The stampede of the negroes, and hundreds of horses rushing into the camp, frightened by the fiendish yells of the rebels, was the first evidence of an at tack. Here the scene of consternation is described as being terrific. Horses tramp ling upon our sleeping men, the armed foe murdering the unarmed, captains and lieu tenants waking, and crying out for the men to form In line. Captain Lord, after placing an armed guard in the road in the rear and allowing no one to pass, succeeded in rallying about one hundred men. Colonel Capron was on his horse, without saddle, everywhere shouting to the men not to separate, but to remain together and retire in good order, but the overpowering number of - the enemy rushed on with all the momentum of an avalanche. About this time Colonel Ca pron found -it impracticable to ride without saddle, and had just finished saddling, when a dozen rebels rushed past, knocking him under his horse, and firing upon him with their revolvers. The Colonel, finding that he was unharmed, mounted his horse and started for the road, where about. 150 men were in line, but before reaching them another squad dashed against him, using the most obscene anathemas, and rend ing the air with those yells which are describable only to those who have heard them. The Colonel endeavored to flank thgm. They saw that he was an officer and pursued him to a creek, into which he im mediately plunged his horse, and reached the opposite bank in safety. His son fol-. lowed him, but the " chivalry" were afraid to jump the creek. During - the forenoon Colonel C. met a citizen who professed to be a loyal man, and he engaged him to pilot him to Decatur. He rested awhile at his house, when the old man advised him to leave ds horse, as it would be im possible to get through on horseback. This proved true, but the loyal man was quite pleased to know that it was true. He went with them until about twelve o'clock that night, and while the Colonel, his son, and Lieutenant Colkins, who had joined them, were asleep, the very pa triotic man, who was so willing to serve Ms" country, went home to take care of the Uodo net' s horses. lie, with his son and the Lieu tenant, were now left alone in the swamp. Finding himself without a guide, the Colonel resolved to move westward to the Chattahoochie river. This march through. woods and marshes was heart-sickening. The women were even scouting the woods for Federals: They were scouted and hunt ed down like beasts. Very often this trio would find it convenient to conceal them selves until their matronly scouts had passed: The only article tf food they could obtain was a few berries, and some times a biscuit a friendly negro would give them. Finally they reached a ford on the Chattahoochie. As the Colonel lay con cealed in the brush and undergrowth, he saw a party of about one hundred rebels, With. fifty of our prisoners; heard their conversation, and saw them cross the river, and chain the canoe on the other side, and move on south. Just as he was about to emerge from his ambush; a second party came with .more pri aoners. A violent thunder-shower came at this time, and prevented their cross ing. The Colonel now fully determined to take possession of the boat,and run the gauntlet by water. His son' was sick, the Lieutenant's feet swollen and blistered, and himself exhausted with anxiety and fa tigue. He hired a negro to swim the river, obtain the canoe, and bring it to the oppo site shore. Meantime the storm was raging furiously. Sambo's courage failed him, but the desperate position of the party forced him to get up his spunk. They started for the bank. The darkness was so great that they all held each other's hand, so as not to get separated. Arriving at the bank, Sambo said : " Massa Colonel, Fee Can't go in dar in dis lightener." He trembled in every nerve, and it was more than an hour before he could regain self command of himself; so that the Colonel dare trust him to the turbid stream. F- Blackness plunged into darkness, and all that could be .heard was a splashing and puffing. In a few moments the sable son of Neptune came in with the chain in his mouth towing the canoe. The Colonel, Lieutenant, and Bam_immediately pushed out into the stream, hoping under the cover of the darkness to make the greater part of the way to Rosawell Bridge that night. The party had gone but a short distance when they heard the - unwelcome roar of rapids. They were too near to 'make the shore, the canoe being wholly controlled by the current. This was a most'criti cal moment.. They who had so narrow ly escaped death in battle were now at the mercy of the maddened, impetuous water. Not all of the party could swim, so it was decided to remain in the boat, and if she foundered they would rest in the same watery grave together. Onward the frail trembling canoe sped,--bearing Its precious btirthen, amid • a myriad of eddies and whirlpools, until •at last she gave a sudden 'plungecompletely submerg ing the passengers. They all held tena ciously to her aides, when she came to the an d with their hats bailed her out. surfa ce, inore they began to paddle down the C a c t e tahoochie ; had gone but a mile or so, when that same dreaded roar of falling wa ter came through the darkness, falling with appalling effect upon their ears. - The boat was immediately headed to the shore. Reaching the bank they found that the ivy and briars were so thick, that it was almost impossible to land. After more than an hour of bard work, they succeeded in get ting_a place to lie down, where the water was not more than an inch in depth, the rain still pouring in torrents. At daylight the weary travellers again embarked, with scarcely a hope of ever reaching their goal; but they must not relax their efforts now when so near borne. The undergrowth is so high and thick that it is like a vast, green curtain spread on either side, for miles along the banks of this now historic stream. The bushwhackers were not look ing for Yankees in canoes, so they_ did not watch the river very closely. There were guards at the fords along the river, but their attention seemed to be directed the water, to the approaching roads, so, very fortunately for our refugees, they were permittt d to quietly slip down unnoticed and unharmed. As the boat came around a bend in the river they saw one part of the " Rosswell Bridge." All began to cheer and clap their hands for joy. Moving beyond, around the bend,lhey saw the whole bridge enveloped in a vast sheet of -flames. Colonel Capron says that no language can ever tell the bit ter anguish of that moment. The first and only natural conclusion was that our whole army had been forced back across the river and in their retreat had burned the bridge. Having landed, they cautiously approached some citizens, who said our army was all cut up and was beyond Marietta. For the first time since their journey began they were discouraged. All were unarmed, and, as they supposed, in the advance of the rebel army. However, they made up their minds to press on, and, if possible, reach our rear before morn ing. They marched through the woods all night, and at daylight reached our pickets, who told them e the true posi tion of our arny., glorinus news made them forget"their -- hardships, ,their laCerations, their fatigue. They came in town to be welcomed by rainy brave souls who had suffered the same, though sepa rated from them. When 'the Colonel left Hillsboro he thinks he had about eight hundred men. It is evident that since the strpriie no organization has existed in the brigade. There are now about two hun dred and fifty who have come into camp in squads of two or three, scarcely more than' four, at a time. They say they were hunt ed with bloodhounds, and; if found, shot like wolves or any beasts of prey. The men-from Colonel Adams' brigade are also continually coming in. Both colonels say it will be impracticable to make out a list of casualties for several days, as, there will: be probably two or three hundred come into camp within a week. Tenement Neumen. The New York 'Bun of Tuesday, speak ing of the misery obserirable in the barba rous New York tenement houses, says : A reform in these dwellings has been urged from time to time in the columns of the Sun, and various remedies have been suggested, but without effect. In Wash ington and Greenwich streets these houses are more thickly populated than in almost any other part of the city.. Here the casual observer will find a little room, ,about twelve feet Square., with a bed-room attach ed, from which light and air are as scruple- lously excluded as if they were injurious instead of beneficial to the health. In some of these little 'rooms our reporter, who permits nothing ,to escape him, saw at glee time no less than thirteen individuars, all breathing the same impure and unwhole some air, while the stench from the accumu lated filth in the yard belo vrwas intolerablh. The family residing in these " apart ments " (?) consisted of a widow, with a daughter over eighteen years old, and three sons, aged respectively sixteen, four Sen, and eight years, and all occupying the same bed on the Libor. The widow took in lodgers, and in one corner of the same floor lay two sisters, who paid two shillings each per night for their bed, such as Awes, and in another - *corner lay the niece of the widow, a married woman, while the dark bed.room was occupied by a man,• his wife, and three. children. Sickness, as a matter of course, followed, and, as usual in such cases, the younger children suffered the most. -Beneath these apartments was a damp cellar, "with ground for the floor,'.' where about a dozen ":boarders," men and, women, lay like pigs in a sty, and the family who boarded, them consisted of five individuals, making seventeen in all A. ease came- - before,Justice Hogan, on Thursday; in Which a woman was sum moned by two unmarried ladies for pawn ing their clothes. -On inquiry, the fact came to light that the women -in question were lodgers, and she detained the clothes for their rent, which was fifty cents per night each. Now, the woman and her three children, and these two girls, occu pied a room and bedroom in a rear house on Prince - street, which both together were not sixteen feet square. Our reporter sub sequently went to look at the place, and only wondered how'six individuals managed to live in it, although the bedroom was light, and, to do the woman justice, although she was washing in one 'corner of the room, (she takes in washing for a living, and had her dinner boiling on the stove in another part, the place was very clean, but so hot that our reporter was glad to beat a hasty retreat. Like the other, she is " a poor widow," and says she is compelled to Lake in lodgers to help pay her rent: Now, apartments of this kind, there are even worse things done than eating, sleeping, washing, and cooking, all in the same room. Many of these women can be seen entering corner groggeries with their ginger -beer bottles, which they- get filled , with "the best brandy" for five cents—a material differ ence between that and a liquor store on Broadway where ".the best brandy" is two shillings a pony glass.- If these poor wo men are asked why they drink, -they re ply " It's so :hot and stifling inside that if we didn't take a little drop we would faint," and thus what is earned by hard work goes into the pockets of the vender of colored fie voted alcohol and c4mpitene. On the other hand, where there' is - a father to the family, he leaves his home and spends his earnings in a gin mill, because:as he says, "theplace is more airy than his own dwelling." His grown-up sons sa d daughters, too, leave the house to enjoy the evening air outside, and oftentimes get into bad eompany, thus bringing upon themselves trouble and mis fortune. Some plan might surely be adopt-- ed by which better and improved dwellings could be- provided for the poorer classesi which would' be attractive to both parents and children. The former need not then go to the rum shop, nor the latter walk the streets. The• city government and private benevolence can do much to remedy this state - of things, and it is to be hoped that ere long pleasant and well-ventilated apart ments may be provided for those who are now compelled to herd i together like cat tle, in small rooms and damp basements. Utilizing the Ctovernmenz Menses. Few are aware of the extent of the deal ings of our Government in liome-flesh. It is a costly item - in theapense of the - war. The importance of this kind of war mate rial has been growing in the estimation of the country from the start of hostilities. SozLe people thought, at the beginning, that cavalry was of but little account, com paratively, but everybody is now cured of that delusion. The rebels demonstrated the value of that arm of the service early in the war by their infernal raids. They have been paid with compound interest by our mounted legions. The Government and its generals are now fully alive to the consequence of mounted battalions in such a country as our armies are compelled to fight in, and on a future occasion we may offer some suggestions on the subject of keeping up the supply of horse-flesh, and of preserving the stock on hand. Our present purpose is, however,. to speak of the economical uses to which the Government horse is now put after having been "mustered out of the ser vice." Last year the disabled and con demned animals were sold for less than a song apiece to contractors, Who, in fact, purchased only the hide, took it off, and left the carcass on Government hands. Then there was the cost of removing and burying at some little distance beyond A rlington Heights. The accumulation of so much animal matter (one hundred horitee a day at • the lowest) in any locality near the city was a positive evil, and burying it in the earth in great reservoirs, a positive waste.

The bones, too, become articles of commerce liable to internal revenue tax. The shin-bones are sold to persons who, by. a newly-discovered process, make them into knife-handles of exquisite taste and finish, resembling mother-of-pearl. The other bones are ground and manufactured into phosphate of limo. The hoofs are sold to artisans, who steam them, flatten them out, and make them into various beautiful articles resembling tortoise shell, by pressing in hot moulds, &c. The hides are sold to the tanners, the hair and the oil become articles of commerce; various parts are made into glue, and, in fact, the padre horse is made to add to' the wealth of the country, promoting agriculture, commute, and the mechanic arts, and the internal ra zenue. One hundred horses and over per day are killed upon the wharf and thrown into the boiling vats of this factory, and eager purchasers are found for the various articles produced from the disintegrated steed. A commission of surgeons has in spected the establishment and report that not the least unhealthy vapor arises from it—ammonia, which is the prevailing odor, being entirely salubrious. How Soldiers ito into Bottle. A correspondent, combatting the idea that our men were dispirited by the disaster on July 30th,. before Petersburg, says : It is somewhat the habit to represent a 'body of troops, known to be brave and effective, as " eager for the fray," " burn ing to be led against the foe," or less ele gantly, ",spoiling for a fight." Writers who indulge in the use of such phrases know nothing of armies, or do not state what they know, or rather state what they. do not know, unless, indeed, they know it to be false. The soldiers themselves laugh at these expressions when they see them, and none laugh heartier than those a score of times conspictions for the cheerful ness with which thaYhave gone into battle and their steadiness and pluck under with ering fire. -They are not conscious of any particular "eagerness for the fray," any, amorous inclination toward bullets, any penchant for meeting shells half way, any longing for a short sleep and a shortened limb under the surgeon's hands, any_espe cial haste to be mustered out in this and to be' mustered in in another world. The man who affects any of this fine frenzy is a coward. Let it be understood that troops never " rush frantically to the front" for the love, of the thing—at least not after linty have. been in one fight. After that, they arc sure to know better. Hence it is that the first battle does not distinguish the brave from the cowardly. It is the second one, with the recollection of the carnage and narrow escapes of the first before him, which tries a soldier and tests his metal— and his mettle. One who was recklessly, unthinkingly breve on his first field has learned to realize the peril on the second, and may run away ; while another, who ran the first tiine, now plucks up courage, baying seen that. it is quite as safe to go ahead, or having, through pride, mastered his fears. But if there is no beautiful, sen timental: itching "to be led against the foe," on the other hand,-men do not go' in sullenly ; doggedly, or with any sort Of apparent reluctance. They go to an encounter with .something like so lemnity now, • with elastic step and • cheerfully, but with set teeth and earn est faces. Set it down to the credit of pluck—sheer. pluck, clear, clean, square, stern, quiet, solid,,,honest :pluck. It was this which fought Antietam, notwithstand ingthe Seven Days, Gettysburg. notwith standing ChancellorErville; and rt. is this which would yet give to this army the clarions of victory, notwithstanding twenty 30ths of 'July, like the last. That. .dey has ceased from troubling the army and is be come like any other of the defeats of three' campaigns—to Ibe offset, when thought of, against some one of the successes of these three years, and depend upon it, the suc cesses are oftenest recalled. Wbat it Costs at Newport. Though Newport is blossoming beneath the regenerating,' influence of Fashion's sunny smile, it.is not to be supposed that she is seeing her palmiest days. Compared with last season, the town is as, subdued as the Quaker costume so often seen in these Friend-ly streets. Many cottages still re= main unoccupied, and accommodations at the public houses can be obtained. Whether common sense has got the better of people's. inclinations, and they have, with. Spartan firmness, determined to retrench expenses for the sake of the country's credit, or whether necessity is the only Thine to which shoddy can lay, claim,. I leaye for the *lie to detierinine, siunply etating MA . fact that the number of visitors here is as one to two of last year. After all, I am afraid this change is owing entirely to. the rise of gold. There are few persons able to pay eight dollars a day . for a moderate degree of pleasure, which is the amount paid out by young men about hotels. And if you aspire to the luxury of a carriage, without which ,exiit ence here, unless you live on the water, loses its greatest charm, the modest sum of four huneired dollars per month is required to keep up a respestable establishment. A. cottage for the season, beginning in. June and terminating in November, costs all• the way from five hundred dollars. to fourteen hundred dollars, according to situation and size. Of course, the houses, are fully fur nished throughout—linen and silver ex cepted—oral least pretended to be. Many of the cottages are, built to rent for the summer season only, the owner moving away with his family to other quarters du ring the months when comfort is most re quired. This practice is adopted even by those who are in excellent circumstances, which shows how little regard is felt for household gods in this community.
