MALES AND FEMALES BATHING AT NEWPORT
A correspondent of the Boston Transcript writes
thus from Newport on the subject of bathing
81 had my preudces against the custom of both
sexes bathing together, but on seeing the fun at
Newport. my antipa,hy against the fashion was
much removed. The sight is picturesque certain
ly Fancy an encampment of Indians, or rather.
Gpseys, Invested Of the boiling pot, and you have
the scene previous 10 immersion. You cannot tell
the gentlemen from the ladies'; and in fact, it is
difficult to distinguish the members Of your own
family. The gents wear red flannel TUNES. duck
pants and straw hats the ladies tunics and panta-
leites OF the same color, with white collars and
wristbands, and straw hats also. There are as
many as $50 bathing houses. You enter on one
side and go on 10 the beach from the other, all
equipped to act the part Of the sea nymphs, or
anght else that seems an appropriate character 1t
is really very exciting to behold the fun"

Caus, Of the Defeat Of the Louisa hail Road Bill.
In tho midst OF surprise at tile defeat Of So apparently
reasonable a proposition as that for the extension Of the
Louisa Rail Road, 1t is natural to look fer the cause. We
have done 30. and must be permitted 10 state. with oil due
respect to the gentlemen in charge Of the bill, that we
think We understand this cause fully, as developed during
the proceedings on Wednesday.
The Delegates from the counties Immediately interested
had voted for a reduction OF the Taxes, although there i,
no complaint from the country that these are oppressive (:
thus preve itng the possibility OF getting from the Treasury
the very surplus relied upon to furnish the amount asked
by the bill. They had provoked opposition from tho most
jealous friends OF Internal improvement, by refusing their
support to all other bills Of similar character. That this j.,
true, we gather from the remarks Of other members on the
floor Of tho House, who openly declared thar though the
bill meriied heir support, they would not give an appropi,
ton for the benefit Of those who dcnied to oil other paris Of
the State 1haf they asked for t6enseives. Oue member
especially, who Is generally liberal on such subjects, detlar-
cd that he Z" did violence to hrs own feelings, " 10 voting
sgsinst the bill, but that the want Of lberality on the part
Of the immediate friends Of the bill, forced him 10 do it
Is 1t any wonder, then, that this mentoriOus work met such
a fate 7 It's death must be laid TO the charge in part Of its
immediate nurses, worthy and estimable though they be a.
nor can It be resusciuied, unul a different policy be pursued
by them.

NATIONAL FOUNDRY.

Nj. J. P. Martin, q member Of the House of Repre,en
tati,e.. has offered a resolution in that body. insIucung
the Committee on Military Affairs TO enquire into the eI.
pediency OF establishing a National Foundry At the Falls
Of Cumberland River, in Kentucky. We should have
liked thi. resolution better, IL II had not specified the location
Of the Foundry, but had directed the Committee TO IN
quire as 10 the most suitable place Tor its Establishment.
The House, however, will scarcely adopt such a resolution,
without full Investigation Of the advantages. offered by
such locations as may be suggested IN various parts OF the
country.
The importance OF such a Foundry require. no argument,
except with those who believe Inst the Millennium has
commenced. and that war will never visit the earth again.
Recent events, however, must have convinced even such
persons, thst heir pacific calculations are a litIe in advance
OF the sge. and that tie time has not yet arrived, when
the hon and the lamb shall lie down together in
fraternal love. Our own Country is peculiarly dilatoy in
making warlikc Preparations, but we may hope that she j,
now aroused from her sluggishness, and will no longer eI.
pose her naked breast to the thrust Of a vigilant and well.
armed foe.
AZ to the question OF location, it seems TO US that RICH.
MOND possesses advantages not eIceltd, and We are in.
clined to think, not equalled elsewhere. 1t has a central
position, ana . sufficiently ready and easy access 10 the
ocean. IL has also the mechanical ski!l. In these respects.
we claim TO be equal with any other place which can be
named. In other and more important qualifications, we
| believe that Richmond has the superiority. Vas, quand-
lies OF coal arc in her immediate vicinity, the mountains OF
our State TEEN with IRON, ard il is worthy OF remark, that
in regard To this, the mos, important consideration con-
necl,d with the whole subject. the IRoS Of Virgins is the
best IN the whole country for the purpose required. This
has been ascertsiued by cHreip! tests.
Under rhcse cTcumstances, we hope c1nRr-ss will pause
before comm. t. a final decision, and that the Repre,en.
tatiye from tins District will bring before that body the
peculiar advantages OF Richmond, asa location for the pro.
posed establishment. The question should be decided Al. y
national question, and entirely without reference 10 loc.l
Interests. Viewed in this light, we would place TIL, city
before the eye OF Congress, fully satisfied that upon a tho.
rough and impartial examination. it will be found the be.,
| location in the country for a National Foundry. Or, If &c.
veral are to be established, this certainly ID a point which
ought not 10 be neglected.
