SARATOGA, Aug. % 1870.
The season at Saratoga is draw ing TO a close-the
gay company have been leaving rapidly for the last
week, and in a few days more, the drawing rooms
will be deserted. The large number ofvisiters now
here, II is sad is very unusual even for this late
period The United States Hotel is still full and
though many left this morning, there have been
over sixty arrivals during he day. There are but
few persons at Congress Hall and the Pavilion The
Union Is still pretty tull, and has be.n all the season
A great many Southerners have stopped here dur
ing the last few days their from Mag are
and elsewhere. This has been the last dancing
week, for the mus will leave t day, and the last
ball OF the season held last night, at the United
States. Several hops and siSips the carpst have
also taken place this week At one Of the parties,
they had the Virginia reel, the first time this sum
per, and the harp swelled off very loud aud JOYOUS,
with the violin, TO the tune Of Scampcrdown The
bellies who figured the past week have been nurns-
rous and beautiful. Miss =. Of Richmond and Miss
II. of James River, Virginia, and Mrs. -, of South
Carolina, were among some Of the Southern ladies,
and Miss A. of Philadelphia. Miss II. Of New York
State, Miss l. of Rensselaer, County and others.
After the ball a few evenings since, very pretty
supper was provided for the gentlemen Who had
been present. In the hilarity of the moment the
passing season was discussed Some thought that
Saratoga with fuller company, hid not been
brilliant as last summer, others who had net been
here before said il deligh and some only
regretted there had been less rtat'ons than usual
One voice proposed az toast-the Belle otthc Sea-
son! "Who was the Belle" responded many. One
said, the Belle datk haired girl, of matchless
form and fairy step, who had come carly in the
son, and departed like meteor.
Whose beauty made the torches to burn bright
Which seemed to hang upon the gem of night"
Another said she was a blonde from the Empire
State who was the favorite ofthe dance, beautiful
blonde
With light blue eye, and lip of song,
Who moved the beauty oft throng
Another, taking up the subject in the same vein,
said it was
An eastern girl, with gold gems in her hair,
Whom changing night found still as gay and fair
Another Of the party, fanciful the rest, re-
marked they were all at faut-it was q fair maiden,
with acacia ringets, who had remained but three
days at Saratoga, after drinking heaven from the
beauties Of Niagara and who at the balls at the Uni
ted States, and Congress Hail. had made her con-
quests and departed.
{" Ii was her, and her only where many
Had joined in the dance of each night,
Whose form is the fairest of any,
Where all was seducing and bright
They would have d fIered until sfter midnight had
not galantry contended for tre ladies at Sara
toga, which received the unanimous pledge.
MIR. Schcnly who came bearer Of dispatches, in
the Great Western, in Jane last, is still here con-
fined to his bed. He was taken i'll the day of his
rival at Washington, and only recovered sufficient
y to travel TO this paee, where he has been confined
ever since. For the information of his numerous
friends, he will probably be able to be removed next
week.
