Letter from Nottant.
ISTaeo IsTAHAEr, AngU.S4lBB4
Mireonondence of The Press.)
There are certainly few more beautleal regions
than that from which this letter is dated,:
The home of the friends whose hospitality we are
enjoying is pleasantly affiliated a short distance
from the seashore, or rather the, shore of Nahant
Bay, and we have the full benefit of salt air and
bathing. The view is most ,charming. Upon the
left is the picturesque village of Swampscott, upon
a point of land extending far out to sea, and form
ing one aide of this beautiful bay.
Near its extremity, and just within the bay, lie
hosts of, fishing schooners at anchor. Directly in
front, at a distance of three or four miles, is Egg
Rook, harren and bleak, from which, at' night, a
blight light shines far and wide over the waters.
On the right is the beautifulpeninsula of Nahant,
upon the extreme point of which can be seen one of
the cottages belonging to the great hotel barbed
there a few yeare since, and looking, at this dis
tance, like some Grecian temple in its Mbar out
linesi against-the blue sky. Oa the other side of
Nahant lies Lynn Harbor, fieyond which, far in the
distance, Is along range of hills, terminating with
Point Shirley, and behind which, in tine weather,
thedome of the State House and several of the spires
of Boston, together with Bunker Hill Monument,
can be 'distinctly seen. lust off 'Point Shirley,
Deer Island, 'with its immense hospital, appears.
Behind us 'spreads the town of Lynn, with Its
white cottages!, and back of it towers High Rock.
The drives in this vieinity are unsurpassed, both in
the hardness and smoothnsiss of this roads; and the
richness and beauty of the scenery through which
they pass. A most lovely ride is that from Lynn to
Nahant, and around the grand and romantic drives
of the latter. The first part of the way lies along
the beaoh, where there is generally a. fine surf; and
every good day numbers of batherS may be seen en
joying a dip in the breakers, though to persons ae
euetoined to the waters of our warmer latitude it at
firat seems rather a Cool bath. After the road leaves
the seashore it winds through the beautiful country,
with handsome residences on either side, and, mem
sionally, a cross road leading to interesting bean
ties. No one must pass that one marked "To
Maolis," without stopping to explore the beauties
and curiosities of that ;alert. On every hand na
ture and art combine to wake the spot enchanting;
while throughout the whole the marks of an eccen
tric mind are plainly visible. You pais the resi
dence of the owner, Mrs. Tudor, on the right as
you come down from the main road. It is a fine
low- stone mansion, covered with beautiful ivy.
Scattered about the grounds, which are open to the
public, are many rustle arbors, etatues, fire-plates
for the use of picnic parties in•olooking tacit, fish,
Ao.,' and beautiful- summer-houses of substantial
and artistic etrecture,. Al. refreshment stand etre*.
its attractions to the h ungry, and an immenseltax-
Swing Is the-delight of the children. The "pool of
Idoolis, ,, down among the- rooks, Is a singular
feature of the place. (By reading this name back
wards the reader' will see' its origin.) Although
very near the Shore, its waters are fresh.
The high fences covered with pletures—many of
them correct views of noted places In our own and
other lands—strike the view of the beholder by their
singularity and picturesqueness.::On the outside
walls of one of the buildings is aline large painting
of the uprising of the loyal North and West at the
fall of Sumpter; and, also, a representation of Ge
neral Grant at Vicksburg. Not far from these is an
immense figure of 'an oxi , with head thrown high In
air, among the bushes • which wouldbe apt tostartlo
any one coming upon it auddenly: Paesing to the
otter side of the road, you see over the gate the in
acription " Leones .Nahantani." On looking about
for these ferocious beasts, hoping they are not al
lowed to prowl about at large, you soon perceive
them (two in number,. one of stone, the other of
platelet), in a gloomy' cavern, glaring with fierce
eyes aridapparently about;to rush out at you. At
the month of the den, however, there is a grating,
Which effectuallyprevents their egrele. We were
informed that this has been but lately put there, and
that rather for the protection of the inmates than of
visitors. There was formerly a whelp among this .
Interesting family of Leones, and , the sharp juve
niles, at length overcoming their natural fear of the
larger brutes; and sispettling• they were after all of
rather an innocent character ' get In the habit of ta
king the'young prince of the forest from his palace,
and toting him abont,in their arms until this sprig of
royalty was finally nursed and petted to death. The
grating was then put up in front of the den to prevent'
the incursions of inquisitive and adventurous youth.
liaving seen the lions, we went onttp to a very large
and elegantly-eonstruoted summerhouse, of a brown
color, ornamented with gUt figures. From this the
view is very fine. Before you lies the beautiful bay.
and in the dilatation Lynn, . and. Still further off
Swampscott are seen, while far away to thej right
'stretches the grand old ocean, dotted with sails:
The setting snit lent his dying glories to the scene
as we looked upon it. - -
But too long we have been -lingering here. We
Must- hasten away to catch a glimpse before ,night
cornea on of those vast andawful,plies of stupendoUs
rocks which have Made. the shores of Nahant fa.
MOW Tor its beauty and grandeur byer the whole
country, po we continue our drive, passing an
'nem se&serpent painted upon a long, high fence
as ire leave "Mitolis," and afterviards many lovely
cottages, and grander, residences; and a nice, ecim
fort-able-looking hotel. .At length'we 'Come out upon
the 'sea:stile - 'again. The road now'lles along the
high bluffs overhanging, &beautiful cove, in which.
lie huge piles of reeks, as thoegh sleeping upon the
bosom of the placid waters. Then we, leave the
shore again, and, in 'a few minutes, arrive at the
grounds surrounding the ruins of the , magnificent
hotel - before mentioned. Here we leave the carriages
and pass through a narrewgateiray. Going along
a pleasant path, bordered on bOth Sides, by,flne trees;
we soon come to Moran& Some,ofo4,tle

having:been frame, and entirely Contained. -;,The
ground is now overgrown with grass t and , not •the
slightest vestige of the wooden portion Can be seen.
There are several cottages'still standing . uroun4 the
ruins. Towards the one of these which we bad seen
before at a d It tanae, standing upon an eleirated
we take our way. Dow vast and inexpressibly
grand is•the view that bursti upon the gaze as we
step upon the porch in its front—Nahant bay slum..
berlig in beauty upon the left, and in front and on
the right the blue and boundless ocean, or, more cur,
rectly speaking, Massachusetts bay, with the ocean
beyond. But we must not stop here, for a grassy slope
greatly hides the wondrous • rooks, the crowning
glory of Nahant. So we, clamber out upon a jut.
Ling point, end there, rock upon rock, pile upon
pile, in wild and drear confusion, as though hurled
.there by the hands of Titans ' these mighty heaps of
rugged, Shelving Mks, ancient as Time, lashed by
ten thousand storms, break in their-awful sublimity
and- grandeur upon the startled vision. Around
their bases the rising waters pour, and dash, and
i roar grandly, seething,and boiling, and sending the
sparkling sprayhigh in air. With awe-struck minds
we stand enraptured, and then walk along the
bluff, gazing, wondering, admiring; now pausing to
look, upon some huge red boulder rising out of the
sea, and far overtopping the, surrounding rooks,
so square in some of its corners, and scarred and
marked by storm and time, that It requires no very
great Stretch of .the imagination to' suppose ones.

General Fre:mont:
SIR: YOU must be aware of the widaand growing
dissatisfaction in the Republican ranks with the
Presidential nomination at Baltimore; and you may
have seen notices of a movement, just commenced,
to unite .the thorough and earnest friends of a
vigorous prosecution of the war, in anew conven
tion which shall represegt the patriotism of" all
parties. -
To facilitate that movement It Is emphatically
advisable that theicandidates nominated at Glove
land and Baltimore should withdraw and leave the
field entirely free for such .a united. effort. Permit
us, sir, to ask - whether, in cage Mr. Lincoln, will
withdraw, you will do so, and join Your fellow.citi

a basis broad as idle patriotism of the country:and

of your letter of the 20th, addressed to me in New

If your letter were In effect an appeal only to my

should not hesitate to renounce any personal views;
but would be entirely ready to defer to the public
%pink% which :Your natnearte!

It would be necessary first to consult with them. It
mfght, besides, have only the effect still further to
unsettle the public mind, and defeat the object you
have in view, if we should disorganize before first
proceeding to organize something better.
To this end I suggest that a direct effort be made
Co obtain an immifflate understanding between the
supporters or the Baltimore and Cleveland nomic a-
Bona, in order that the friends of both may coalesce
and unite upon an early day for holding such a con
vention as you propose. lam satisfied that Ido not
assume too much in saying that my friends will unite
heartily in such a movement.
A really popular convention, upon a broad and
liberal basis, so that it could be regarded as a convo
cation in mass of the people, and, not the work of
politicians, would command public confidence. Such
a convention, acting in the large and liberal spirit
in which It was called, without considerations of
persons or political cliques, and without reference
to bygone situations. rising to the level of the occa
sion, and taking the conditions of the country
as' they present themselves to-day could safe
ly be trusted to propose such a policy and name
such a man as should, and undouotedly would, re
ceive the cordial and united support of the patriotic
masses of the people. To the groat body of these, so
far as my information all ows me to form any opinion,
I think that the following propositions would be
acceptable:
• 1. Respect for the practical liberty and the con
stitutional rights and dignity of the citizen.
2. The maintenance of the dignity of the United
States in their relations to foreign powers.
8. The re-establishment of the Union ; by peace if
it is possible; by war if the employment of peaceful
measures cannot be made to succeed.
Much has been said of late about peace, and you
will-therefore excuse me if I say herewhat I under
stand by it. For roe, peace signifies the integral re.'
establishment of the Union, without slavery ; be.•
cause slavery-lathe source of all our political
sentions, and'berause the institution itself is con
demned by the enlightened and liberal spirit oft the .
age.' These are to me the essential conditions of
peace.- If it is practicable to attain this result, it •
would not be • paying too dearly for it—takiag also
into consideration the material strength which: the-
South has-been perriiittedlo acquire by the conduit :
Of the war—to make concessions upon some points
of secondary importance, such as that of paying an'
indemnity for their slaves to-; those who have re.
maned in a sort of neutral oondttion, during -the
unhappy war which has convulsed the country., To.
terminate this we . are. now expending life -and
money : it would certainly be al-gain to reduce it
simply to a question of money.. . . •
11, - in spite of all these aorta ifaspare the South
humiliation or Wipes of capital likely to be too
severely felt( the political chiefs who . diroet' the
South persist in war, then, the policy of the Con-.
vention should be to pronounce in that case for war
with 'all' the force and energy .of the nation; for
peace, UpOli any terms, and merely because it is
peace—a peace recognising a North and a South—
would not bring about a stable' equilibrium. It
would only prepare the way for new straggles and
fora condition of diaastrous anarchy.
The paramount question is the Union. By peace,
if it can be had on honorable and right terms—by
war, it the political leaders who are. directing the
South insist. upon war.. • .
The situation. of our country.is unquestionably
critical. It demands the devotion and the patriot
ism of all men who reallylove their country, and it
it one of those moments when all personal aspire
' Uons,should vanish in the face of the great ques
tions or principle and national existence which are
at stake.

TILE INDIAN WAS.
y' it' 1.. y: . t ~/;
The St. Louis correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga•
zelle gives the. following interesting' particulars of
the Thalami troubles:
"Intelligence from the Indian expedition'of Gen.
Sully Is of an unfavorable character, bat those who
are most acquainted with Indian warfare feel no
uneasiness on account of the _little army sent out
against the savages. General Sully is said to have
mot with a defeat at Knife river, a tributary of, and
which empties into, the Missouri a short distance
above Fort Clark.
"It is probable that a detachment or advance of
General Sully's command may have been attacked
by overwhelming numbers, or that the savages suo
cessfully embuseaded our troops, but there is no
reason to believe that any material disaster has be.
fallen them. General Sully has three thousand
wellmounted men, armed and equippedin the best
style, and be has twelve howitzers, with a sufficient
supply of ammunition, to cover all the contingencies
of tile campaign. James W. Taylor, whose name Is
popularly conneoted with the development of the
lgorthweet, and who has Imparted much valuable
intelligence regarding frontier life, estimates the
number of hostile savages at about six thousand,
equally divided by the W.lssouri river, t he xte ing; back to the Blaok Hills ; while women,
children, and old men will swell the entire number
of Indians in that section to about thirty thousand.
As long as General Sully keeps his command
together and operates in force, no fear need be felt
for the success of his expedition ; but if he scatters
it or garrisons poste as he goes along, and before he
encounters the main force of the Indians, ho must
expect disaster and failure to say the least., At last
accounts he was at Fort Rice, situated at the mouth
of Long Lake, which is a hundred miles below
Knife river; and he was then on the move, there
fore there is some probability of his having reached
that river, where, it is rumored, he met with dis
aster.
"It Wlll3 the intention of General Sully to pit the
Mandans and Grosventres, the hereditary foes of
the Sioux, against the latter, and if he has suc
ceeded in that the entire success or his expedition
may confidently be relied upon . , but should the
former tribes take arms against tho common foe of
the red man, General Sully will have a hot time.
Advices from the expedition are looked for with
great interest.

by a boat's crew of the pirates, who ordered them
on board the Tallahassee. There it was decided that

"The pirate Steamer Tallahassee entered this
harbor yesterday .merrdng, and anchored in the
stream. The Confederate - sympathizers, which
form five-sixths of the -population of this town,
were all agog, and gave the pirates a most enthu
siastic reception. Leading merchants mot these
daring plunderers, and clapped them on the shoul
der at the hndiag place,*and cheered them lustily
for their bravery.
" Well ; there is no accounting for tastes. The

in sinking a few fishing smacks, and robbing their
owners - of chronometers, money, Ws.
"The admiral on the station, Sir James Hope,
has taken charge of the 'Tallahassee pro tca.,-bot.
cause he found the captain and his men were en
deavoribg to exOuggle powder, &a., no., on board.
" The community which can coolly encourage and
aid a daring pirate like the Tallabaseeemust have a
seared conscience , as we ll as a commercial blind
ness, to me unpardonable and unaccountable. How
ever, there it is; and, with such facts, we May well
dread any suspension of friendly relations between
Groat Britain and the United States. Happily, the
small, short-sighted men of the Province who are

GENERAI WNW&
PLUMBAOO ON Lege SOPBETOB.—ACSOrding to
the Detroit Advertiser, another extraordinary min
eral discovery has been made on Lake Superior; be
ing no less than a rich mine of plumbago (Graph
ite). Itwas loiand on the tract of the Marquette I
Silver Mining Company, and it is. said that Prof.
Cassels, of Cleveland, who has made an assay, pro.
nounces it the best plumbago he ever saw, anctsays
if it is plentiful, the mine is worth more than any
gold mine in the country......oapt. Sweet, who is fee
miller with the ground, says 'the mine is very. rich.
The only mine of pure plumbago fit for the best
quality of pencils is at Cumberland, England .the
working of whisk is conducted with-- extraordinary
secrecy. There are several mines of very inferior .
graphite found in this (*miry, the produot:of whisk
Is used in the manufacture: of crucibles, and. Auk.:
other uses in mahufacturee. None of it-le lit for
, pencils. The Silver I.Afturrrol2 of Lake Superior
must be a wonderful plane allithe •• l.discoveries! ,
located on it amount to anythihk. Mead, silver,
gold and plumbago appear to put the discoverers in
doubt as to which they shall mine for first. Iron is
close by and copper not far off. Is needed
now to complete the 41180ov:erica - As tin.
A GIOAIITTO RAILWAY O,OIIPORATION.—The

Lakemiles of railroad, extending from Portland to
Lake Huron and Toronto to Quebbe, with various
branches.loo other railway company in. the world
has snob a length of road under Its control. The
management of such a vast extent of road, of
course, requires great skill and abliity,in order that
it may be conducted with such convenience as the
publio require, and at the least possible expense.
The income of the road the present.year has far ex
ceeded that of any previous one, while, as we un
derstand, the working expense has been somewhat
reduced. The company Is now engaged in laying
new rails on the track from Portland to Montreal,
just as fast as they can be turned out from the
Guanitna ATROCrrine.—A few days ago a young
man named Hart was murdered in St. Francois
county, Mo., under circumstances of the moat re
volting character. When found after his capture
by the bushwhaokers he was suspended- from a tree
in such a way as to have produced a lingering
and excruciating death, lila - hands being tied
behind his back by hickory thongs passed thrQngh
holes bored in-his wrists. Other marks of aggrar
vatcd torture wore found upon his parson. Another
ease of eitriordinary atrocity was the killing of an
old Methodist: preacher named 'Morris, •in Platte

first put out and then he was shot.—Memphis

The stock market opened on Saturday with a ton
- dopey for a lower range °Skims, especially for oil
stocks, and it was thought during t he morning that
another panic was approaching In that description
of Investment. Events, however, took another turn
about noon, and holders showed less disposition to
sell. A break In the market now would be ruinous
to si, class of operators who have so successfully
ItrOnght up the present oil excitement, and they are
. fully determined, if possible, to postpone the reac
tion which seems inevitable. Many of the storks
which declined in the early part of the day fully re
covered, and the sales were very large. Govern-
Ment loans were weak ; the 5-208 fell off 34, the
81s %, and the 10 7 , t03, the 7-39 loan sold steadily
at in. Certificates of Indebtedness wore nisolianged,
selling at 95.. In miscellaneous shares there were
no important changes. Gold opened at 253 X, and
steadily declined until at 4 o'clock the rate fell to
2 48%.
A. correspondent writes us as follows
I notice that while the interest on the coupons
of the 6-20 bonds is paiddn a'dvanoe, the Government
has not offered to anticipate the interest upon the
. registered bonds. It appears to me that this disci'.
mination is not based on any principle, and its likely
to cause dissatisfaction."
Our correspondent is in error when bo asserts that
"this'discrirnination is not based on any princtple.”
The action of the Treathory Department in this
matter is just what any private banking corporation
wortld do, and which is done eveiy day. When a
bank declares a dividend to its stockholders it closes
its books, and the time at • which they are reopened
depends upon the number of stockholders whose ac
counts are to be adjusted in the addition of the dist
dend credits. The holders of the registered bonds
of the, United States aro scattered all over the
country. Their interest is due on the first of Octo
ber, at which time, and not before, the. Treasury
books are closed. At least a month must transpire
before the accounts are adjusted, and the proper
• credits: given. It will be readily seen that if the
Government has a large surplus of gold on hand it
,illaiieatty to anticipate the interest whereverit can
as to. carry so much gold when no profit accrues
thereby. The 6.20 coupons are as good as gold, and
might, indeed, if greenbacks wore of the same
,:value.as gold, circulate as.money. Such afunction,
.however, does not attach to anything that is duly
registered on• the books of the Treasury Depart
:maid.
