NEW HAVEN, June d, lS49.
Ihe Steamer Connecticut and her OGcers-A JVord
about NeD Hapem-No Cholera here.
With many other good qualities you are known
to possess, am well assured that you have the in
teres's of the travelling community heart. Act
Dg, then, upon this assurance, feel no hesitation
IN recommending to the favorable notice of all
wayfarere, the means OF conveyance by which
arrived at this ancient and venerable seat of lean
ing.
When one Is about to leave your great metropo-
u.s. the first question which naturally arseo Is, how
shall / GO! Shall cabin, crib, conine myself in
the close crowded and dusty car, or shall l. in this
delightful season of the year, step aboard we'll
ordered ard ably captalned steamboat Just for
one moment did thus think; and, at the end of
that formidable period of time, deliberately came
and there place myself under the guidance of Capt.
Peck, OF that noble steamer, the Connecticut
How much 10 say, or to leave unsaid, with regard
te this model boat, perpexes me. Her length is
the most fairy like little palaces, AIS persons. Her
cabins are finished and furnished in the most COM
plete style. You can contemplate the. beauties of
your person in her large and massive mirrors. You
verse in her comfortable fete tete chairs. In ad-
dlton to all this, her officers are SO gentlemanly
and obhglng, it is really qualification to be under
their supervision But perhaps, some Of your head
Herald with all its varied contents at the same time
they do their first cup of coffee and their first slice
OF toast, may object to steaming 1t by water, be-
cause, fOrsOOth, 1t requires twenty minutes more
by the route to New Haven than by the express
railway train. Well, that this is the fact, do not
deny; but to directors, only say that if they
do not feel that the bracing sea breeze adds two
clear days to their lives, then by all means coop
themselves in their cars. The Connecticut makes
the same time that the accommodation train does,
and you are charged nothing for the beauty and
grandeur Of the scenery along the shores Of the
Sound
Those who pleasure travelling down East,
or the business man who drops for the nonce his
day book and ledger and visits for recreation, the
far famed Yankee land, advise most earnestly to
be driven down to Peek slip on any afternoon at
O'Clock, Saturdays excepted, then at oclook,)
jump aboard the Connecticut, and then delight
ful trip awaits them.
That Eastern pestlence, which isnow scourgng
your city, has not as yet set It's bllghtlng footsteps
upon the soil of this beautiful place. The purity of
this atmosphere, and the cleanliness of New Ha-
ven streets, should certainly lnterpose successful
barrier to the inroads OF the invader. But should
ii once make its appearance here, old Yale would
be deserted, for the anxious hearts of many parents
would beat in fear and trembling lest their absent
sons should be stricken down, Again | say, if
there is place on our broad continent where the
Asiatic cholera will not breathe Infection II is the
spot where old Elihu Yale planted his school. To
your wearied and business oppressed citizens,
trip down here would afford the most unaloyed
pleasure. This city, with Its beautiful churches, its
handsome squares, and Its superb Libraries, amply
Rompensates fer miles Of rough and dusty travelling
Tomorrow, perhaps, will give you some dot
tings at the landing, at the Tontlne, and in Old
Yale. Yours, firmly, KARL.
