LETTERS FROM CAPE MAY-A REFLEX oF THE LIFE THERE It is impossible for one mmeenstomed to toil anti careto fully appreciate the buoyancy of aDirit and the sweet feeling - Of relief which is experienced by the man who has braved :ind fought the world without cessation for nearly a 'twelvemonth, when he duds himself sud denly let loose, with a two weeks vacation on hishantis; and it is surprising with what rapidi ty the breezes from sweet clover fields erases the bard lines of labor. ire are disposed to allow nothing, however unpleasant, to disturb the'composure and equanimity of our minds., land are determined to enjoy ourselves tinder ill Circumstances. Such ivere our feelings as we found ourselves on Monday morning, the 17th day of July last, on the way to New York. the day was everything that could be wished. The watery rain of heaven had quenched the dusty reign of earth, much to the satisfaction of travellers, and gratification of Jersey farm. ers. Whizzing we went, while the green fields and clear waters lived and laughed on every side. Everything smiled npon us in the luxuriant beauty of midsmumer;and seeming ly invited us to enjoy the charms so lavishly bestowed. Admiring every beauty as time allows, we soon find ourselves on board the Jersey City ferry-boat, for New York. Our travelling friend remarked that his first impulse, upon arriving in New York, was to feel for his watch and pocket-book. EMI= Bow like an old friend does New York seem to one who is in the habit of visiting that great city but seldom 1 As we put foot upon its streets we feel as if we ought to shake hands With somebody, anti say how glad weave to see you. Repressing these feelings, and having satisfied our appetites, which we ems assure our readers ilte not small, after four, hours , ride in the railway cars, a few .lour leisnee previous to the starting of the boat to Newport was employed in visiting T Broadway. The streets are not so crowded as when we last walked them in the early spring, and there seems to he but little business stirring. The ruins of Barnum's Mns.eum was surrounded on all sides by enrioSity seekers and sight seers to such an extent, indeed, as to considerably interfere with the -travel along the street, We have here an evidence of the indomitable determination of New Yorkers to advertise their business .in every possible way. The ruins are still smoking, and the fire is, it may be said, still unquenched; yet in the midst Of all the ruins and smoke, and failing debri, painted on every possible space, and posted on every ettimblingwall, are large, bold placards and enormous signs, announcing the peculiar virtues of bitters, dentifrices, &e., s't e., just the place where everybody nmst see them. Dar la= has a notice up informing the public. of the Mention of his. business office. St. Paid's Church, opposite the museuni, has suffered. much. The plaster and paint is peeled oil in spots over the entire front, and its venerable appearance is, for the time, ruined. Many of the gas-fLxiiire used in the Fourth of July inn -flainatien rollnlin ill their positions along Broadway, and if we may judge from their 'panther and the elaborate workmanship now visible, the celebration in the gas-light way must have been extensive and beautiful. In the ear to go to the steamer Newport, on the North River, we pass along several of the New - York markets; and such miserable, filthy% broken-down, anti beggarly-looking stalls and market -places we never had the misfort tine to behold before. Our sheds which formerly stood along Market street were princely in comparison. These places in New York look like hot-beds of disease, corruption, and filth. Here let me try to give a short description Of tills magnificent floating palace, We do not exaggerate when we call her by this name. She hppears to be about one hundred and sixty feet in length, and forty in breadth, at the widest part. She has four boilers, four smoke stacks, and - Machinery of the latest and most MA: 'Dyed description. She made her first trip on the 4111 day of July last, and is, of course, entirely new. The state-rooms are ranged along both sides of the upper leek, and on the after part of the lower. The furniture Of each state-room is of walnut and plush vel vet, with heavy silk damask and lace hang ings. The carpets throughout are of the rich est and most costly kind of velvet. The saloon on the upper deck is furnished in the most luxuriant manner with velvet carpet, elegant mirrors, bronze statues, walnut and plush velvet furniture, gold ornamented ceilings and State-room walls, magnificent chandeliers, and sumptuous lounges. The dining saloon On the forward part of the lamer dank is alike magnificent. On each side of the dining hall are the berths ranged in three tiers, one above the other. Each berth is about two feet and a half in the elear,and they are hidden by curtains of silk damask, crimson, purple, and green, with heavy gilt cornices. They thus athi greatly to the general appearance of the hall. The dining.table, when set, presents a magnifi cent appearance. The chandeliers, which rest upon the table, are of silver, and of six lights. They burn candles, which are, however, hid den front view in silver tubes, so that only the light is seen. The china is beautifully orna_ merited, each piece having upon it, in orna mented, letters, the .cord Newport” The plate is distributed in elegant profusion over the table ; and real lava vases, holding sweet_ Scented flowers, and small silver vases, also with flowers, are, at intervals, over each table, The waiters are dressed in spotless white linen, and the NM ensemble of the dining-room is grand and imposing. As is generally the CO,BO, unfortunately for voracious appetites, where there is so much display, the substantals arc neglected, and it is with diflienity that one satisfies himself with the numerous dishes that areranged before him. Being determined, however, to be satisfied, and to enjoy our VD... eation, we arose from the table well contented, and proceed ed to inspect the machinery, which almost outshone in brilliancy the (dear silver Of the table we had just left. With what feel ings of respect do we look at any great phice of mechanism, and how instinctively do we pass from the object of our admiration to the mind which planned and carried into cxectr tion the great - work ! The 'Newport started at half-past live O'clock in thOufternoon, and the day being remarka. lily fine. there was great demd s an for eats on deck. It was consequently crowded, and if there is any fault to be found . with this beautiful steamer, it is in the .vant of space on deck for passengers. The st.il along the sound was one of the most pleasant we ever expo' rieneed. The sunset, all golden, never wits more beautiful, and the water was calm as the surface of a summer lake. As night and dark ness came on the stars shone > with seemingly unwonted brilliancy ; not a cloud appeared to obscure a star, and the constellations were easily discernible and readily found, while the Connecticut light winked and blinked over the waters of Long Island Sound. About eleven o'clock we retired for rest. At about ball-past three in the morning we awoke, the beat having arrived at Newport, We took tlto cars at this place, and here, for the first time, we saw Such a one, we imagine, in which some hor" rible crimes of which we have read have been committed in Eughtml. It presents the appearance of the - bodies of six lintel , tag'UA fastened together and run on a railway truck. An iron step goes around the outside of the car for the conductor to pass and, collect tickets, or for other purposes. Each car riage is furnished with a table, two chairs, and cushioned seat on one side. These ears are called sleeping cars, but they don't much look as if they were intended for that purpose. The charge for Occupying a carriage is one dollar additional. For family parties we should think they would be very cozy and pleasant ; but to he thrown into one with strangers, and particularly uncongenial ones, we would rather not. TO 13081'01V On our way to Boston we pass through Fall River, Bridgeton, Stoughton, Weymouth, hid other large manufacturing towns. Mr. Ed monds, of this city, who was our travelling companion, as we passed through these New England States, said to me c " Do you notice how Much the villages and country Of the south suffer in comparison with the towns and hills of New Englandl" We had been in the Southern country a good deal within the past year, and had each, there fore, a pretty good idea of both. i was not So much struck with his remark as I u . as with the coincidence, for that was just the cues_ tion I - was going to put to him. It is lantenta bly true. Down in Virginia, where the soil Only needs to be "tickled with a hoe to laugh with a harvest," everything is neglected. There is an air of careless indifference; no pride of cleantiness ; no desire to be more comfortable in .appearance. and apparent dis regard of comfort or happiness. Bern in the East every house looks as if it had been newly painted. The farms are all clear of rnbbish; the stones, of which there arc a great abun dance, are carefully collected and made intu fences. rveryboily is thrifty, and everybody -wants to feel comfortable. DOSTOSi. We arrive in Boston by seven °meek., and lire soon comfortably seated at the hreakhtit table of the American House, kept by Mr. Rice. Every care for the comfort of the guest is taken here ; in this matter excelling sonic of the hotels of our own city.. One is not iaolbved 10 Wait all da;,- for his meal, after having ordered it, but is attended to prompt ly and politely. It tieing our first visit to this city, we determined to remain over night, for the purpose of Seeing 'whatever of interest. the time upon our hands Would allow. We accordingly visited a sindio and n picture store, and 55W there, amongst other things, an excellent painting, by Meyer, styled "Consohttion,” representing a :ister of Charity attending a dying soldier in camp. The medicines are upon an old in verted basket, and a coarse army blanket covers the person of the soldier. Ills face bears the imprint of death, and his hands are at tenuated, and transparent with sickness. The kind Sister, whose face beams with love and kindness, is reading to the poor fellow words of co»solation from an openbook. The picture is certainly an excellent one. We also saw hero a number of portraits of soldiers, ranking from a sergeant tip to a lieutenant colonel— Poston heroes, we were told. AMOng no peo ple, as a class, is the love of their own people, their own institutions, and their own relies, so strongly marked as with the New England people. We went from the picture gallery to the Boston COllliaollS, of which we had heard So lunch, and here again is the love of relies strongly displayed. There is in the old Com mon an elm whose age is not certainly known, but it is supposed to be at least two hundred years old. The elm is sur rounded by a picket fence, to prevent its be ing injured, and it has been bound several times With strong iron bands. We could dis tingniSh where it bad been bound years ago. The tree had grown over the iron, leaving only space enough uncovered to show that it had been so secured. Bad this elm been in Phila delphia, it might have rotted and blown away for all any one here would have cared. The Boston CommonS, WO Must Say, did not come up to our ideas Of what they were. The old Common does not contain over ill teen acres. It has no carriage drive. The trees arc large and old. It is quite hilly, and rather picturesque. The new Common is about the same size as the old one, and joins it. It has no trees of ally extent in it. It has a hot-house,, and is thickly planted with rare exotic and other plants. There is a pond in the centre, wills a number of swans and two row-boats. The pond is serpentine in shape, and is about one hundred yards long. There is not the least shade in any part of the new Common. An iron arbor stands on the edge of the pool, but it is hmocent of anything like a chair, and consequently of taa-a-ates, and there is no necessity of imparting the advice "Never take tea in the at-bor. ,, There is here a log-cabin built by Abraham Lincoln, and in which he lived in Illinois; an admission fee of ten cents is charged to see this wonderful house. Our mortal part having given out while we were feasting the immortal, we re turned to our hotel; and here we rust say that of all the abominable cities to rind one's way in, Boston is the most abominable. It seems to have been built with the courthouse as a centre; and all the other streets to form. circles around it. Our experience is, that to go two squares in Boston one must walk four. We were informed, however, that, although this be true of the down town part ofiloston, the upper and new er part is beautifully laid out and, in many re. spects, like our own loved .Philadelphia. We stopped on our way at the Boston Public Li brary ; tint from some cause or other, which we are unable to explain, the door was locked and we Were unable to gain admittance. The outside of the building presents a beautiful appearance. it is of brown stone, two stories in height, and is about forty feet in front, Having refreshed our inner mall, we visited Bunker BM Monument, which is easily reached by means of the horse cars, It is situated in the upper and eastern portion of the city. It, with the ground adjoining, occupies a space of about all acre, enclosed with an iron railing. The mounds which were part of the fortifications, still remain. A block of granite bedded in the ground, marks the Spot where General Warren fell. The top of the monument is reached by means of circular stone stairs, and from it an excellent view of the City and its surroundings is had. -A- fee of twenty cents is charged by the gate-keeper to go np the monument. The grand organ of which we had heard is played only on Wednes day and Saturday afternoons, and as this was Tuesday, we old not have the pleasure of hear_ ing this immense piece of musical mechanisin. The only amusement going on during the eve wing Was the minstrels, and as we did not feel in as minstrel humor, we spent OUT evening quietly at the hotel, enjoying, for a time; a beautiful game of billiards between experts. Neit morning, at half-past seven o'clock, we took the Eastern railroad for Portland. TO POUTLAI,JO The passage to Portland was rather dusty, but as everything along the route was new to us we enjoyed it hugely. The scenery is I'3 tiler fine, there being a diversity of hill and dale and some beautiful water views. We pass on our way many important Cities and towns, some of which we know to have seen in con nection with muslins ; we may mention Lynn, Reading, Danvers, Andover, Haver hill, Exeter, South Berwick, North . Berwick, Somersworth, Rochester, Kennehunk, Bidde ford, Ocarboro, and Saco. These towns are, speaking - generally, not very large. The houses are made principally of wood, neatly painted. .A. church spire is visible in nearly all of them. North Berwick is deserving of notice, on account of the world-renowned sponge-cake which may be obtained here. The cars Wait dye minutes for and no one allorna piss North Berwick without securing some of this truly excellent sponge cake. We met here our esteemed fellow-citi zen, Charles E. 7,ex, Esq. It made me think of home to see his familiar, jovial fade. We had a pleasant chat and proceeded on our way. roraLmvp We arrived in Portland shortly after one o'clock. We did justice to our 0 inner, and did not slight the blue-berry pudding, which seems to be a favorite dish down East. Blue berries arc very much like our huckleberries, but arc larger and have fewer seeds. The pud ding - which is made of them is, to our taste, excellent. In fact, we have no hesitation in saying that in pastry and sweetmeats the Down-East folks excel. Having finished our dinner, we called upon our old friend, Captain 8., who we found as bale and hearty as any one could wish tube : and at his invitation we eschewed the hotel, and were kindly welcomed by him and his family LO their hearts and home. There is no mistaking the welcome of the New England people. It is from the heart, and one cannot fail to feel that it is. There is no doubtful coldness in it; but the warmest glow of kind-heartedness draws ore irresistibly toward them.. We turn with pleasure from thoughts of crooked and crowded - Boston to POrtland, the city of gar dens. It is situated on a peninsula run ning into Casco Bay, and has one of the finest harbors in America. It was proposed to bring the Great Eastern to this port upon the first trip, as 'it was believed to be the most availa ble in all respeets for the accommodation of that immense steamship. In anticipation of that event, a grand white marble hotel was nearly completed by a Mr. Wood, but the great ship failing to come to Portland, the hotel has not yet been completed, and it stands beautiful in its whiteness and desola_ tion. The cost of this enterprise must have been over half a million of dollars, and it is hardly, probable that one-fourth that amount will ever be realized from it. Portland has a theatre, at which Miss Avonia Jones was playing "East Lynne. o The theatre is not of much consequence. It is on the second floor of a brick building On the main street. The public buildings, the courthouse, post-off i ce, &e., are fine structures. The courthouse is nearly new, and has a front of Pictou stone. Portland is the most beautifully laid-out city we have ever had the good fortune to visit. There is an air of home comfort about the houses; nearly every one of which is surrounded by a garden, luxuriating in the finest flowers and the rarest plants. In its harbor, Casco Bay, arc three hundred and sixty-flve islands—one for every day in the year—all of which arc large enough to build a house upon. These islands are the resort of ex cursionists, and on some is scenery of the most romantic description. During outstay we visited Cushing's Island, which is a 51.1 . 111- Iner resort, and on which the Ottawa House is built. Here is sea-bathing instill water and surf. Here are pathless woods to Whitehead Rock, from which the open sea is visible. liere may be realized " The pleasure In the pathless wood, The rapture on the lonely *byre, - Society where none In mut., By the deep sea, and music in its roar. , Chebeaque Island Diamond Cove, and Cape Elizabeth are also noted summer resorts. They have no public parks in Portland, but the promenades ELre - fully as pleasant, and as much frequented as the parks of our own City. The Western Promenade, as its name indi cates, is in the western pother, of the city, and every evening before sunset the young and romantic visit this spot, to witness the going down of day. An arm of Casco Bay lies - before us a hundred feet below and the White Mountains May sometimes be seen in the dim distance. Sit down on the benches, and with the noise of the city shut out behind, and the setting sun and tinted cloud land scape: before you, you are apt to feel just a little romantic here, and try to remember, with the rising moon, a few " appropriate re marks for the occasion." At least that is the way in which we were affected, and we silent ly envied the couple on our right, who hail taken a bench in the closing twilight. Evergreen Cemetery, OD the road northward from the promenade, and about three miles from the heart of the city, is a lovely spot. Shut out by heavy foliage from the rude world, a all is lled gmue It is uncertain when he will return to 'Washington. The twenty-two hotels, and all the cottages on the island, are Riled to repletion, and have been so for the past fortnight.- Fully . - fifteen thousand visitors are now here, with a good prospect of the number not diminishing ma terially for the next month: It will be a high ly profitable season to the proprietors of all the large hotels. While we miss the noisy, arrogant, Southern aristocracy, 11110, before the rebellion, were wont to spend their summer months and slaves , hard-earnings With us, their loss is more than requited by tie presence of a better class. There is less "flash," hut more solid, sub st antis.] worth. In those days, faro banks and other gambling institutions flourished, but now they are at a discount, and only one that 1 know of has an existence on the and that very sickly, I am informed. We have some few Southerners here, but generally they were not ardent Secessionists. They re signedly accept the logic of events of the past few years, and express the wise determina tion tO Cheerfully conform to the Aew order of 1131810 CAPE MAY. CONGRESS HALL, CAPE ISLAND, N. J., July 30, 1865 XII. BEWAED PRONITAIME SEASON TU} SOCIETY things. I have converged with several, and have yet to meet the first one who has not to tally abandoned all idea of negro slavery ever being resuscitated in this country. Several prominent late rebel officers have been here, and among others General lieth. Their fra ternistation 'with union OfilCOrs, who have been opposed to them in the field, Is more cor dial than many would expect. There is no bitterness of feeling, and old campaigns are MIRO over and explained with great freedom, with a mutual concurrence in expression of disgust and detestation of Copperheads of the Ben Wool stripe. PROJUCTgD iMr ROVIrArRIVPg The completion of the railroad from Phila delphia to the Island, bringing it within three hours , distance of the former place, has for ever settled the popularity and superiority of this celebrated watering-place.. The officers of the road are giving their daily personal at tention te remedying many small defeetS in cident to the management of any new enter prise, and devising such improvements as shall better conduce to the comfort of their patrons. Some of the, haekmen at the depot practicing extortion upon' the unwary, the Company passed a resolution to supply hacks at their own expense to carry passengerS to and from the cars to any point on the Island, Which arrangement has nowbcen in operation for two weeks. New hotels will also be erected, and others enlarged, for the accommodation of additional visitors. The beach and surf cannot be improved. They are excelsior; and it is a noteworthy fact, that among the thou sands daily bathing, not a single life has been lost this season, or any occasion offered . for the services of the surf boats always in at tendance. PINE " TITIVIV-0111%." While Cape May does not pretend to rival gnratoga in its magnifleent gambling palaces or costly 'learns, yet this season has witnessed the. introduction of a large number of nue horses on the island, and is but a forerunner of what may be expected, as the drives, either on the beach or in the country, afford an ex cellent opportunity for displays of skill and. grace in Impaling the ribbons of "four-in hand" or single u flyer.n MEM There are a largo number of politicians con gregated hero from all quarters, and consider able of interest centres upon the approaching campaign in New Jersey, owing to the anoma lous position it occupies, through the action of a Copperhead Legislature, of being a free slave state. A determined, and, it is cond.- _den tly believed, successful effort will be made to elect Marcus L. Ward and a Union Legisla ture, which will place the Start, right upon the constitutional amendment. F. F..P. COLIIMBIA 110IISE, CAPP. IsrAum, N. J., July 31st, 1865 SEORBTARY REWARD Excitement and gayety have held complete sway on Cape Island for a week past ; for what with balls, concerts, hops, and the arrival of Secretary Seward, the heads of half the guests have been turned. The principal event of the preceding week has been the arriyal of the Secretary of State, Mr, Frederick Seward, At torney General Speed, and Other members of the Secretary's family. They had been ex pected for a fortnight, and all were on the qui wive to see the man who, during the recent re bellion, had so nobly performed the arduous duties' of his high office. THE ARRIVAL On Thursday morning, about ten o'clock, the revenue-cutter William EL Seward, com manded by Captain No:; es, hove in sight, and in a few minutes announced, by the booming of her cannon, to those on shore that the guest Of guests had arrived. A boat immediately put out and joined the steamer, and from the captain the rowers learned that Mr. Seward had arrived on the gunboat Northerner, then lying in the Breakwater, and that he might be e:ipected that evening. Upon his arrival at the steamboat landing he was met by a deputation of guests from Congress Hall, and was escorted to the cottage provided- for him with all due form. He bas employed his time since here in riding out, and on Saturday last was upon the beach, about bathing hour, in company with your eminent townsman, Benj. Brew ster, Esq. All along he was recognized and cheered by the assembled crowds, which he acknowledged by slightly raising his hat 'rho rooms furnished for the distinguished party are situated on a bhiff in the rear of Congress Hall, and are nearer the ocean than any other apartments on the Island. Meals are served from the hotel, and everything possible has been done to enhance the pleasure and coin fort of the party: BALL AND CONOERT. On Friday evening, a grand concert and ball was given at Congresg Hall, by Mr. Mark Hass ler, who u•as assisted by his 7hrother and hiS Fairmount Park Military Band.
