| seize this opportunity, the first that has
offered in three years, to again communicate
with you from my old home, and although you
have not heard from me, have heard daily from
you, through the columns of the "New York
Herald" which, like the :" stars and stripes" il
known wherever man is known, throughout the
habtabe globe.
In my native place find some improvement, moi
perceptible to those persons who see it daily, bu,
the transient visitor, or one who has been long alb
sent, can plainly see that the enterprise of our ci
tizens cannot be overcome by the effects of partial
legislation. Our citizens have lost millions of dol
lars through the depreciation of property, caused
by the Erie Rail Road and the assistance the State
extended TO IT, In turning the most valuable part oi
our trade from its natural outlet, through noun
famous country, where it costs the farmer one hall
OF his profits to get his produce to Market and he
is lucky ii he does not loose the other half by ac-
cident.
Newburgh, affected as it has been, although dis
heartened tor awhile, has not lost her spirit II
kind generally, by following enc branch of busl-
ness, they can turn their talents and capital into
another channel, and they have already made the
necessary arrangements for starting the manuactu-
ring business on large scale. The project has on
y been talked of for few weeks, and already one
company is formed, their capital subscribed, and
the foundation OF the building ready TO be laid
and from present Indications it would not be mat
ter of surprise, if second, or even a third COM
pany. should be formed, and be prepared TO COM
mence business before the commencement Of
another year.
The location of this place is healthy, and with
the rich back country, and its facilities to market,
It affords advantages for manufacturing rarely met
with, and in the course Of a few years, feel as
sured in saying that Newburgh will be the Lowell
of New York.
The National Greys of your city, under com.
mand OF the gentlemanly Captain Raynor, have se-
lected this place tor their summers encampment !:
they will be here on the 10th, llth and 18th nst's
They make their headquarters at the Orange IIo-
tel, and Will probably drill at the Washington head.
quarters They propose to give a review at the
Orange Hotel on the evening Of the llth, which,
from the high order of their discipline, Ihave no
doubt will be a capital affair.
There is some little talk Of getting up regatta
the latter part of summer, If SO il will be on
larger scale than any of the previous years. although
believe we have some little notoriety in getting
up the finest regatas In the country; still we have
some advantage having one OF the finest fellows in
the world to arrange them, that old sea-dog, Capt
Henry Robinson.
You visited our place some years since on re-
gatta day; our citizens would be happy to welcome
yourself, NC, if you could make il convenient to
visit us-why not csme up during Capt Raynor's
stay; it would take you but short time from your
bus ness, and am sure you would enjoy yourself

kept house, and attention to visitors, il is not sur

what the public say about IT.. accept my invitation
and come and see for yourself.
