Col. WEBB AND THE ADMIEIsrRArIoN-There
is not a more fused man than our contemporary,
Col. Webb, Of the Courier and Enquirer. After
trying to rum the late administration, he applied to
Mr.. Polk, when the Mexican war broke out, for
brgadier-g neralship, but was refused, and the
Colonel was deprived OF the privilege of making
the Mexicans feel his wrath. In the ordinary
routine of such matters, Mr.. Polk makes way for
Old Zack, and the Colonel, under his administra-
tion too, Is an applicant. In the meantime, how
ever, his bellicose propensltes were cooled down,
and instead of asking for brigadIer-generalship,
he simply desired to get foreign mission A,
luck would have IT, he was again disappointed,
and, to cool his ardor, our gallant contemporary
took journey to the northward-to the upper
lakes-where, in the vicinity Of Mackinac, while
pulling in the trout with hook, he descaated on
the merits of that excellent fish, and dlated at
length on the resources of our Western country,
as well as on matters and things in general"
Before reaching that extreme point, however, the
Colonel eat beef. broke bread. and cracked wal
nuts, with General Cass, and managed, somehow
or other, TO get that statesman into a difficulty in
relation to his political principles. Notwithstand-
ing those disappointments, the Colonel is at his
post as usual, and in long article IN yesterdays
in regard to the cabinet that We assumed when the
same cabinet showed their hands. He, like US,
absolves the President from all blame in regard to
the miserable policy which characterized the cabl-
ne, in its of the appointing power, and agrees
with us, that the old General, now In the White
House, is not to blame in the matter
Now, our gallan, contemporary must not be over
looked by the President; and, in order that the
wound which was made by Dir. Polk, in refusing
him brigsdier-generalshp in the war with Next
CO, may be healed, we hope that General Taylor
will give him the same post in the war which Is TO
grow out fthe difficulty between MIR, Clayton and
NJ. Poussin, the representative # the republic Of
France. We really believe that the Colonel is en-
titled TO this mark of favor, and we hope he will
get it. Seriously, however, our " ancient friend
and Pistol" agrees so fully with US in mutual
estimation Of the cabinet, why cannot we agree on
the line Of action necessary to pursue such
an emergency Of public affairs Ought such
cabinet be retained Should it not be replaced
by new cabinet Of able and honest meat VIII
not our contemporary join with us in pressing such
a step upon the notice Of General Taylort With
the good, honest, sterling old hero in the White
House, We are both satis6ed-we are all satisfied
but who is satisfied with the present mbecile. silly.

BY ASNr C. LrxcH.

\ From the middle Of July until The fls, o
! September, Newport /, at it's hood-iide o
gaiety and fashion. All parts of the Union
all classes Of men, women and children, all pc
culiarities Of individual character, have thei
full representation, and studies abound. 1t j.
generalfremark, that persons learn more o.
each other from travelling together, for shor
time, than from long and intimate acquain.
tance in the routine Of ordinary life and ,hi:
remark applies with equal force 10 temporary
' sojourn at 4 watering place. Thrown of
,heir accustomed track, seen in the light oi
new cifcc instances, people daguerreotype
themselves v ,s!eo they are lsas. aware Of it,
and a, moment, wien they think least of sit
ling for their portraits, " hich, Of course, are
not always from the mos. faSo;able points o'
view, and therefore, to mo, not !he most
pleasant.
A lady, not long ago. assured me, that the
White Mountains were becoming more fash
iondbe every year, and was about 10 repea,
her remark with regard to Newport, which
really seems every year " become more "a.
vorite resort. Ornamental cottages, built 10
the most perfect taste, arc springing up in va
rious parts ofthe island, and for three or four
months in the year they are the residences Of
some Of the most distinguished families in the
country, while the transient vsiters who come
to Newport for few weeks or days number
many thousands. The beach is unrivalled in
it's hardness and beauty, above all, in its safety
and from ten TO twelve o'clock in the morn
ing, It presents a most lively and exciting
scene. The bathing costume, which is fright
fully unbecoming, is fortunately an effectual
disguise, and the gay groups ,ha, issue from
the baihing-cars, AID bound with white feel,
over the sparkling sands to - wantoa with the
breakers" seem like unknown gsnii from the
coral caves. A gentleman remarked TO me :,
in view of,hose who came dripping from the
foam Of the sea, that hereafter he renounced
his belief in the old Greek fable of the origin
Of Venus In the afternoon, the scene on the
beach 10 scarcely less animated. It's smooth ]
hard surface forTs most delightful dive, and
splendid squipages, and vehicles Of all descrip-
