Little understand, is highly educated, and with
ness of the dresses worn at dinner, shall merely
mention, that day or two ago the elegant Mrs.
Wetmore appeared In one which cost eight hun
the most splendid in the country. She is very
amlable lady, and Is much esteemed by all who
know her.
Alexander Hamilton, Esq, his lady, and daugh-
the late gallant and distinguished General Hamil-
ton. Among the late arrivals, are Josiah Randall,
Esq, (of Phlladephla,) and son. | need not in
form you that this gentleman took leading part IN
the nomination and election OF General TAYLOR.
Charles A. Davis, Esq, the celebrated {" Jack
Downing his lady and daughter; - James,
Esq, of Albany Alfred Street, Esq: and son,
(of New Oreans,) and family: are also among
them. Every train comes frelghted with visiters
for the United States. On Friday last, the arrivals
amounted TO upwards of sixty, and this Is the rate
at which they have been coming ever since.
Congress Hall is also filing. and the Union
Hotel, a very good house, is receiving its
share of patronage. 1t is frequented by the
land States. The grounds and garden at
tached to the Union are very fine. The
American Hotel, kept by Mr.. Wilcox, is also a
popular house, and is, believe, doing very we'll
some call it, bot the former is certainly the more
fashionable mode of expressing it, at the Union
and among the ladies was Mrs. Papneau, the wife
of the Canadian patriots son. On Tuesday and
United States and on Wednesday and Saturday
evenings at Congress Hall.
In obedience to my sense of Impartality, must
inform you that Mr.. Blanchard, of this place, runs
a sta &c from the historic village of Fort Edward to
Lake George, which, he says, and very naturally,
is better route, lnasmuch as that the country
through which you pass is more beautiful and
picturesque, than that of his opponent, Mr.. Will
cox | cannot speak upon the question affirmative
" or negatively, as have not been that way.
There Is small Catholic Church here. but It is
quite large enough for the number OF resident Ca
thOlics. The pastor Is the Rev. MIR. DAILY, very
genteasanly man, scholar, and an interchangeable
minister of the gospel. In the height of the season
the Springs are visited by some Catholics of dis
tinction.
The festivities have commenced, and in day or
two they will be in their full career. Schnyder's
Brass Band has invested the scene with an interest
and liveliness which music never fails to throw
o'cock-all are attracted by Its sound and take
up their places under the piazzas, where, with I'M
divided attention, they listen to the heavenly
maid,' "whose soothing powers assuage the sa-
plays at Congress Hall, where there large num-
Der of distinguished visiters. In fact, the whole
village is now kind of fairy land-concerts and
balls at all the hotels every evenlng-in the morn
ing, promenading, carriage riding, romancing,
fower-culling, and conversing-after dinner, music
Of the choicest character, and most scientifically
executed and in the evening, the elegant and
courteous interchanges OF the drawing room, aud
the hustle of the evee, through which the symme-
trcal and sylph-ke forms of the ladies', with light
and elastic tread, move along inidouble quick time,
escorted by some polished gentleman, (of whom
there is vast number here,) and ardent admrer,
who feels, most keenly, the noble passion Of
love, but who burst not breathe word of his suf-
ferlng, while to himself he says
" Since OH whate'er my future fate,
Shall Joy woe my steps await
Tempted by love, by storms beset,
Thine image can meier forget.
May that fair bosom never know
What t is to feel the restless
Which stngs the soul with vain regret
OF him who never can forget
The ladies have now an opportunity of gratifying
their wishes and taste, as to their robes and head
decorations, without sending to New York to
other cities, as Madame Payot, the celebrated
dress maker and milliner, of Philadelphia, has ar
rived, and opened, as usual, splendid store oppo-
site the United States Hotel The style in which
she cuts, and the ingenious way IN which she pro-
yides against personal defects, set OIL command

great mind shows itself in trifes, that is, compare
lively speaking. Longinus says, that such m. nd

it pleases more, but IT dazzes less.
Yesterday little iacldent occurred which graft
fed Inc much. Two gentlemen were sitting to-
gether, and apparently in earnest conversation
upon, for augh know, some important CONNER
cal or state question, when nurse, leading pref
gentlemen, (,he father presume calling it by some
endearlng name, took II from the nurse, and placing
II upon his knee, with all that affection which
but parent can feel, began to sing, with all Its
variations, the popular negro melody OF go! SUI

the presence OF a little creature can influence a
great mind, for the act was mark of greatness

lis own simple and artless level Ii is, after ALL In
such things, that nobility and depth OF mind are to
be discovered.
II is well to mention, for the information of all
concerned, that Virgil and Rice are the only ex-
press men who have Office at Saratoga, and that
persons who wish to send parcels by II To this place
must have them left at No. 10 Wall street. w. A.
Mundell is their agent here.
The eagemess with which the Herald Is looked
for is astonishing. On Thursday evening" no
Herald, OF course, and Its non-appearance created
sort OF gloom Several SAID that they felt quite
at n loss without il. g 1t seems" continued they,
" that something is missing; that there is a pacuuni

To-day, (Sunday) the weather is very hot At
halEpast SIX o'clock, A. NJ. the thermome ter was
near 40 in the shade; and at three o'clock IL was
20. There has been breeze which has rendered
the atmosphere cool and pleasant. Our village
presented a most animated appearance after church
time. thought OF Hyde Park and the promenade

If Saratoga cannot boast Of as much splendor
and magni6cence rs those fashionable resorts, it
ean at ell events, lay claim 10 az much beauty and
elegance. The ladies' dresses were composed of
light silks. muslins, with lace and net sh1wls, and
scarfs. The bonnets-I beg pardon, hats they are
called in tins county, noticed, were very dash
ing. If lady's walking or carriage dress were
studded with Jewels and diamonds, it would be
nothing, as it were, without the powerful aids OF a
becoming hat and neat shoe-a shoe fastened
with sandal, which throws out in the instep in
nice proportions. The foot. which is an sosceles
triangle. should always be regulated with skin, so
that IL may be seen 10 a certain extent. But ap-
prehend that those who possess beautiful feet know
how to display them, without directions from any
one. ALErErIIAINos
