Notes ON Saratoga.


TIE PAVILION, Tuesday, August , AZ
The cold storm o Sunday and the colder, calm, halt
cloud half sunshine, of yesterday, have something
damped the spirits if not diminished the numbers
of the visitors TO the healing waters. The Sprlnss
bubble and sparkle as brgh.ya ever but who cares
TO drink (water) by wholesale with the mercury
at 5O2 Then this sitting around Christmas hre
is apt to awaken thoughts of home and KIN even
in August. True, it is pleasant enough here
passable for a ride unobiectionable for walk
and delicious for aance-much better for these
who delight in this latter thanwith the thermome-
ter marking $50 in the ballroom. But while
many come here for amusement merely or mainly,
| there are fewer who care to leave the city and
business for these cool shades and gay, informal
| reunions in reasonable weather than nnder the
pressure of fervid stmospheres; and every day OF
cold and rain sends away many and brings in few.
This ought to be the hight Of the season yet only
the three principal houses are full the others
range from half full to desolate. A few glowing
suns in succession would change the face of affairs,
vet think the place will hardly be brin-full this
season.
And this reminds me of the grave mistake that
is being made in building new houses of entertain
ment of the second or third class all around. These
may injure those already in being, bat can hardly
| by possibility be profitable. Why won't the pro-
ecters see that they are contrrry to the genius OF
the place and the times? People rarely come to
Saratoga to be shut up in their own apartments, or
with any dozen or two like them. The great ma
ierty are gregarieusly inclined, and fly at once to
the place, where there is not the most room, but
the most company. If they are hilarious and IN
clined to the poetry of motion, they obtain rooms,
if possible, at the United States Congress HALL
if they are given to piety the seMblance of it,
they may be found at Union Hall, where there are
stated PRAYERS twice day and dancing, but
music, good society. and no bar TO reasonable
amount of Irritation. These are the great tecI OF
attraction; there are other excellent houses which
profer temptations to those who prefer quiet, or
secluson, or who come here bona yjfde to drink
water but these appear to form a slender minori-
N. Most of the visitors seem to think their con-
stitut,o.,5 require exhiarating, not soldering down
on solitude or spare diet. Why then, go to quiet
house Economy, say you? Congress and The
Union charge but So per week; and if that is sot
cheap enough, you have only to make your tarry
shorter, and thus save time as well as money. 1t
is therefore all mconshine to build smaller, cheaper
houses if any, build larger and more attractive,
and doubt il that be done in this generation.
But the behring's, the iron horse snorts time
flies as l sit spinning and | must be at home to-
morrow morning. Adeu to thee, gay Saratoga
thy pleasant groves, cool walks aud heath-glvangl
fountains tothy anxious hosts and joyous guests to
thy briefly notabilites and scarce tasted plea
surcs, FAREWELL A brisk FIVE minutes walk in
the diviue morning cir, and am off for the Cities
of the Hudson. O.

OHIo.-The Columbus State Journal of the
29th saws that the Committee of Conference of
the Legislature hes had meeting on he Appor-
tionment, and gives the following report OF it:
Little or nothing has been done, or at least
has trans PRED, beyoud the adoption of resolu-
ton fixing the maxirdn and minimum rates OF pop
uaton for the Districts None are TO be or
ganized higher than Hamilton County, 80, l43]
or having less than $4,000 inhabitants. !, has
also beea determined in Committee not to divide
Counties and to conform to the act of Congress
| respecting elections by single Districts.
Loco-Foco Young Mems State Convention
| was held st Columbus the 26th. Allen G..
| Thurman of Ross County presided. ltwas slim
affair Ex-Gov. Shannon made speech of three
hours, and Senator Allen had contributed q letter
of nearly equal length, abusing the Wings in Con-
| gress at one moment for wasting time, and the
next for passing the Onc-Hour Rule, TO prevent
! farther waste in one breath denouncing the mar
ori,y for doing so little, and in the next praising
Capt, Tyler for multiplying what they have done.
! The Columbus Clay Clue held rousing meet
ing that evening, and came near outnumoeging the
Loco State Convention
THE OvERsLAUeH-Coming down the Hudson
night before last in the good boat South America,
Capt. Brainsrd, fully freighted with passengers
only she grounded on the lower part OF the Over
slsugh, near Castleton and lay an hour or two be-
fore she could be got off But for the fact that the
tide was at its food we might have lain there till
| morning, with her four hundred passengers. These
casualties are habitual and most vexatious. Every
fourth steamboat We believe, is brought up in this
way, and like proportion of sail vessels. On
Monday morning the only steamboat up wen,
aground and all the Mails North and West lay over
at Albany fer one day-sery probably deranging
business calculations aud possibly causing failures
by the delay Of remittances.
Ought this TO be Probably $50 1000 per sanum
would keep the channel open and good from New
York to Albany. Well says one, let Albany
| provide it But why Albany Why not Troy,
Utica, Buffalo, or Chicago Why not rsther
| this State, which derives Canal Revenue of
Two Millions nor onr,,p, frnp frairht which
must pass this very overslaugh2 But bet
