DEAR BENNETT
Allow me through the columns Of your valuable
journal, to give you SEINE account of this lowell
est village of the plain 1t is situate within five
miles of the proposed termination Of the Long
Island overwhelmingly located for fishing and
fowling, being within mile of Long Island Sound,
upon the north, and The great Peconic bay on the
south. This place is destined at no distant day TO
rival far famed Rockaway. 1t has all its advan-
tages while its climate is unsurpassed for salubry
by any in the country. Scores from your city, who
have learned to appreciate lis beauties, annually
visit u.s. to enjoy Its delightful retreats and beautiful
promenades.
We celebrated yesterday our 4lh annual pic mic,
or clam bake which passed oil in good sstyle, be.
ing conducted purely on temperance principles -.
We arrived between IL and l o'clock at the APP
pointed place, which is, by the way, one oil our
most de ishtiul groves, where were assembled about
ing the clans, some were Ilistenng TO the music,
aud Others were what in the country Is called gos-
slipping About three o'clock the company all sat
down to table loaded with all the delicacies of
aforementioned clans Immediately after our re-
past dance was proposed. We accordingly ar.
ranged a temporary floor, and the band having al
ready struck up some favorte coillon tunes he
whole party (the younger portion of lt) were on
tripping II on the Eight fantastic zoe "
And here were assembled in one blaze of beau y,
some OF the loveest beings have even seen, un-
heraded and unknown beyond the precincts OF their
native village. How true that
Full many flower is born to blush
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

noticed Miss S-h p. with her bright eyes and
glowing checks. She looked the personificatiOn of
loneliness. 1t is rumored that MIR. L. Al is
the favored swain in that quarter, buttor this
not vouch. Miss N. C was there also, very
beautiful-to see is TO love her. Miss A. w. c.,
her sister, noticed, with her black eyes and raven
hair-her syl h like form arrayed in spotless white,
was enoug hto move the heart of an anchorlte. =
Miss L. &C, a lovely young Hebe, attracted
much attention. Lovely trio-opg may it be my
privilege to see you in my annual pilgrimage to this
shrine OF beauty. l also noticed Miss M. VS.,
who is a decided belle and handsome lady, but it
is whispered she is engaged to Mr.. c., young
merchant at G-n PIT There were others who
were equally worthy, but my sheet is nearly out.
Miss j. M c. who did not take part in the dances, is
a beautiful girl, and the Misses G-n CT from
your city also, together with others, whom at some
future period hope to notice. The dancing con-
tinued until nearly shutdown, when the whole party
left the ground In carriages, preceded by band,
playing. Clar de kitchen" Long will it be ere the
memory OF that day will fade from my mind

LET THE PEOPLE TAKE HEED.

Saturday next will complete the sereHh roeek of the
abors OF the General Assembly and it may in good faith
be asked What has been done for the benefit of the Com
monweathl What measure of public utility has been
enacted to compensate for the waste of words-nay the
waste OF public money which the weeks have exhi
bited The people groanng under the burthcns which
a mad policy has inflicted upon them-and when they
look to the legislative hall, what do they but reckless
consumption OF precious time upon party resouons-or
idle babblng about the faith and credit OF the Satc
One day solemn Tesoire Tspudate the public debt
the next resolution directing officer to withhold
his signature from bonds pledged creditors; and this too
the untenabe plea that the corporation for which the
State endorser had performed its duty according TO
the strict letter of the law We have the undigned spec
tlce OF the great Commonwealth Of Virginia. about whose
all degrees of politicians prate most profoundly
standing up through her legislature and procamng that
because the James River Company have committed some
ndeinabe offence therefore the State will withhold not
exactly the debt ITSELF but the eridsnee upon which the
debt is to be available the sockhoder Was there ever
before such paterng and clubbing about matters which
affect delicately the public honorl
But we repeat the inquiry and ask the people to re-
member it, what has been DONE Has there been solitary
law enacted, which is inuinscay worth farthingl What
need there for any Legislation whatever the present
session. except upon the Apporonmen Of Representatives
aud the Revenue for the current year,
If the Legislature in the screen eesks gone Bv had done
its duty these subjects long since have been despatch
ed and the body might have been ready for adjournment by
the lst or at farhest the 10Th, Of February Each month
costs the people $4,000 and the saving this sum would
obvate the necessity Of taxation precisely amount
Let bc remembered that the Democracy have the rens
that they have talked loud and long about Reenerusn
and Economy, and have promised the people much We
now ask in vain for the evidences of their economy We
ask the said aud rejecting yeomnny Of the county, who
toiing and sweating under unparalleled pressure To
remember that their Representatives think il but e 10
spend from five 10 eight hundred dollars day party
resolution pouring out their bile upon member Congress
who tells them plain TRUTH in plain but unpnutablot
We ask them to note, that nothing literally nothing has
been DONE Not single act Of public utility has been
placed upon the statute book-not single measure has
been proposed that docs look the interests OF
party than Of country.
We charge home upon the Democratic minority a waste
proigate and inexcusable waste of public money Let
this charge be dspoyed by the record If speak falsely
Or heedcssly.
