Sunderland is beautiful quiet village, 10 the valley
Of the Connecticut situated half way between Green
field and Northampton. The Connecticut River Rail
Road runs within two miles u il, thus aiiording
quick and easy passage to New York or Boston. The
water is pure and good and the scenery around de-
ghtul. On the side the stately Sugar Loaf rears
its towering head--on the other the dignifed Toby
which contains the famous Sunderland Cave visited
by hundreds every year. The approaching winter
will, OF course, detsct somewhat from the beauty OF
the scenery, but Autumn, Winter, and Spring are
the best seasons for the application of water, and its
effects DR. Kngsbnfy deems il expedent TO commence
at this season, and should any nvads wish for quiet,
pleasant home 10 a small establishment he will be hap
py TO see them.
" Most blessed water Neither tongue can tell
The blessedness thereof, nor heart think,
Save only those TO whom IL hath been given
To taste Of that divinest gin Of Heaven

All pain rose renovated man;
And would not now, when that relief was known,
For worlds the needful suffering have foregone "

IN which this iorcible paragraph occurs:

earnest and passionate desire keep her people in

LATER FROM MONTEREY.

The steamship Massachusetts arrived at New
Orleans on the 10th instant, from Brasos Santiago,
having left there the afternoon OF the 18th instant.
She took out TO Brasos troops from New York.
Capt. LAMoTTE, of the LIST Infantry, came over on
her. He was severely wounded at Monterey, but
we were happy to find him in the finest spirits and
he is doing well. He left Monterey on the Sd inst,
and our private advices come down to the I'd.
The gallant Major LEAR, OF the 3D. Infantry, has
died of his wounds. He was buried on the LIST inst.
Gen. Wool had communicated with Gen. TAY-
LoR on two occasions. II would appear that the
former has detached one thousand men from his
command to take possession of Monclova, and with
the other two thousand proceeded on his march TO
Chihuahua. 1t seemed to be regretted that Gen.
Taylor, from motives perhaps of delicacy, reraincd
from interfering in any way with Gen. Woops
plans. 1t is conceded that the atcrs troops be
more serviceable south of Chihuahua, which does
not require so large force for its subsection.
We have no definite knowledge Of Gen. Taylor's
plans, but may state that the prevailing impression
among officers is that Tampico is 10 be the next
point of attack
From Monterey we learn from authentic
source that nothing of public interest had transpred
since our last dates.-Picayame.
