THINGS AT The ISTHMUS.

We find a letter in the New York Spirit of the
Times dated Chagres, Dec. 2lst, ls4s, which
says
"The town of Chagres looks like a congrega-
ton of hay stacks, the houses being built OF
placed upright, close together, coated with earth
and heavily matched with palm leaves. While
working the inhabitants are naked, with the ex-
cephon Of breech cloth fastened around their
lons; the little darkies, however, destitute of
even this, and toddle about in pur5S nGtyGiibus.
The women are fond of finery and the display of
their persons, and the dresses OF many are quite
costly, with lace and trinkets.
"The three striking features OF animated life
are negroes, buzzards, and pelicans. Every roof
is decorated with numbers of these buzzards,
which are tame cats; and almost innumerabe
flocks OF pelicans wheeling in continual short
flights, and plunging into the waters of the bay.
Inanimate nature is magnificent in the extreme.
The cocoa nut tree, the palm, plantain, orange,
lemon, and banana abound, with others for which
have no name-while vines and parasitical plants
make the forests almost impenetrable.

nuisance. The number of passengers in the Fall
