Extract Of a letter from american gentleman
residing in Naples.
VALLEY OF LA CAvA, NEAR NAPLES,

residing IN NdpfeS
VALLEY OF LA CAvA, NEAR NAPLES
August l6, 1850.
How do like Naples / hear you ask. In the
gross, well enough, but in the particular there
strong exceptions to it place OF residence. The
vaunted climate is according to English medical
authorities very bad for any but natives; it is very
tickle. When came in the spring, it was warm
in the morning, raining at noon and intensely cold
in the afternoon. The summer heat is to be COM
pared only to the breath of burning furnace,
the glow of an African desert. The intense light of
the sun, reflected from the Lava pavements against
the white walls Of the Rivieru di Chiaa sends up
choking steam, and almost destroys the power of
vision. Wehave been obliged to retreat from the
capital to the cool shades of this elevated valley
fifteen hundred feet above the sea- where we have
a constant succession of cool and invigorating
breezes. We only two hours distant in time
from Naples, with which we communicate six times
a day by railroad. La Cava is Swiss valley
with Italian sky" 1t lies in a da gonal line be-
tween the CULTS Of Naples and Salerno, and is
rounded by lofty mountains whose slopes and pro-
jectng platforms covered with viney yards, olive
groves, fig and mulberry plantations. Among the
mountains behind our villa is the magnificent mon
astery Of La Trinit, the foundation of which dates
far back $780, A. d. Among it's archives is the
world. The inmates of this establishment are all
nobemen who have retired from the luxuries and
strifes of the world TO asylum of religious quie
tudc. They have all gentemanly air, and, as the
Italians universally arc, very courteous and polite
to strangers.
Naples is killing place for consumptive patients,
the air in the winter and spring being keen and
piercing asa New England northeastern In those
sons II blows from the covered SUBMITS of the
neighboring Abruzzi, and with its sharp knfc-kc
acuteness seems to penetrate TO the inmost 1t
IL fatal mistake for persons Of consumpuve ten
dcncy To select Naples q winter harbor. Another
great mistake has been made to the cheapness Of
Naples. From my own knowledge Of European
capitals, affirm II TO be the dearest city in Europe
after London and Amsterdam Nothing is cheap
but carriage hire, 80 so per diem-house, rather
apartment rent Ia enormous. No one pretends to
take entire house in Naples, they COM
poscd Of five six stories, with rooms enough for
the barracks Of regiment. have suifs Of apart
mcnts consisting Of four chambers, parlor, dining
room, servants room, water-closet, garden,
kitchen, &c, for which pay $500 per annum
They arc the most eligible 10 price and situa-
ton could find. They comprise the whole Of the
second story Of a palace with fine balconies over
looking the public garden Of the Villa Rcale, and
commanding noble view Of the matchless Bay Of
Naples, with in most interesting and picturesque
featurc-tbe smoking summit and verdant slopes
of Yesuvius.

constitutional conflict has arisen in Hesse Cas-
sci. The new Chamber Of States, which met about
fortnight ago, has proved staunch as its pre-
decessor IL refused 10 the direct taxes in the
way demanded by the notorious and unpopular
minister, Hssscnpfug, and the result was that on
the second instant IL was dissolved after a weeks
sitting, and new chamber " to be called within
sir months. The members separated with three
cheers for the constitution, and persons in the
gallery called for curse for Hassenphug On the
9th a ducal ordOnnanco was published, intimating
that both the outstanding and future direct and
indirect taxes will be levied to meet the current
expenses Of the State. In order 10 provide against
popular commoiion or resistance, the army has
been got in readiness.

We would direct attention TO the following
article from the Marietta (Ga.) Hslieon. What
the South needs, to have It's manufacture OF
coarse cottons flourish, is TO have the fine cot
tons Of the North protected, and thus relieve
both of the necessity of competing with each
other for their mutual destruction.
SOuthern Manufactures.
That the South is gradually adopting such a sys-
tenn Of domestic economy will, at distant day,
render her entirely independent Of foreign manu-
factures may be inferred from the following hasti-
ly compiled statistics
The number of cotton mills in Georgia is sup
posed to be forty, employing 60,O00 spindles, and
consuming 45 900 bales Of cotton per annum In
Tennessee there are thirty mills. $4,000 spindles,
consuming about 20 600 bales of cotton. In South
Carolina sixteen mills, $4,000 spindles, consuming
1900 bales. In Alabama twelve mills, 1850
spindles and machinery under contract for 20, 900
spindes II is estimated that about 900 900
il invested in these factories, and some 5000
operatives employed.
These faint outlines Of the future destiny OF
the South-a destiny which nothing but her own
imprudence can impede. With the prospect of
greatness before us-with the means Of realizing it
within our grasp, the questions very naturally
arise, shall press forward in the great work of
domestic enterprise, and multiply blessings upon
our people? or shall we, at the nstigation of mad
men, destroy the prospects of the present and the
hopes Of the future, by devastating civil war,
such as the enemies of the Union would force upon
US? These are questions which us per-
sonay. citizens of the South, identified in inte
rest with her prosperity or her ruin.
The institutions we seek to build up can only
flourish under the influences of q peaceful and
harmonious government. They the offspring
of perscvering energy, n comprehensive &C.
MUS, which is most active when trade and COM
merce, fostered by amicable relations between ma
tons, are widely fourishing and nfusing spirit
ofspecnlation among the people
Southern manufactures are in their infancy, and
to disturb the present harmony of the country
would be to them death blow. A few more years
Of peace, and with the blessings of Providence the
southern people shall compete successfully with
those Of any other country in their industrial pur
suits. Containing within themselves all the cle-
ments of independence, they will be enabled to
pursue the tenor ofther way in defiance of all
opposition. Let US, then, have peacc-by all
means, peace and Onion.

THr TRrUnrH or AMERICAN sTrAMERs.-Who
docs not remember how much modification
experienced by many Americans when the first
trip Of the steamer Washington disappointed the
expectations Of few who with overwcening con
hdence had predicted that that vessel would cross
the Atlantic in quicker time than any OF the British
steamers, and perhaps perform the voyage in ten
days. But, with our natural elasticity Of chsrao-
ter and indomitablc perseverance, nearly every
one Immediately said, we have not yet accom-
plsbed IL, but toiH do 30. Well at length the
prediction 10 verified. The Atlantic made a pas
sage in four hours shorter than the shortest one
made by the Asia, and tho steamer Pacific has now
made The passage in nine hours lees time than that
Of the Administering sailed from Liverpool to
New York (from dock to dock) IN ten dny', four
hours, and forty fee minuks. The two last named
vessels have thus recovered for us the old glory
which re used to enjoy by the speed of our packet
calling vessels. These trumpbs, which we have
acquired a nation, one and indivsible, may we
ever maintain such.
