Dear Comet: l arrived here on
yesterday and find this delightful
watering place. There is fine com
pany here at present, and good living
/, PLEASURE, fun and ffolic seem to rule
the day. In New Orleans things are
altogether different. The streets are
completely deserted, the hotels vaca.
|ted and melancholy silence prevades
the length and bredth of that vast city
Nothing greets the eye Of the stranger
but the noddipg plume Ct the sable
herse, for that dread scourge Of all
Southern cities-the Yellow Fever is
now raging with increased fury
There are daily Is or 80 persons sent
to their long, long home, and still the
papers will tell you it is not at all
sickly. This tampering with human
life is outrageous. Still it goes on
and | suppose the press of the city
will not notice it until the bills Of
mortality, reach 100 per day. Every
boat brings over crowds to this healthy
sea-board, when sorrow seldom enteue
or sickness seldom comes. This is q
place ofgreat resort, and soiourner
here will in course of.time find many
strange bed-fellow. The swarthy
Gaul, the ford Saxon, the gay and
handsome Creole, with the pert and
flippant Yankee, all, all join in the
gaieties of the season. We have music
and dancing every night. The Es-
meralda and II Puritan, are the rage
now. / have met most delightful
set of good fellows down here. In
the morning before breakfast we take
a bath, glorious cool refreshing bath,
none Of your muddy hot Mississippi
affairs, but a strengthening and de-
lightful luxury. After coffee we shoot
pistols for a while with the ladies. for
you must know there are many Miss
issippi girls here, who can ring the
bell 5 times out of 6. There is
beautiful little widow here who is
dead shot, and it looks exceedingly
strange and truly romantic to see the
long duelling pistol leyelled with I'M
erring aim by her tender delicate hand.
She and | are great friends-1 would
not fall out with her for anything.
Among the notablts here, there is
Genl. Downs the Collector. He APP
pears in good health and excellent
spirits. find him a very pleasant
and entertaining companion. Pass
Christian is a delightful place and
Montgomery its Proprietor is a noble
fellow. There is much s.pomp and
