The Watering Places.


ing soon in the wake of that of the Vir-
ginia (Greenbrier) Sulphur Springs. New
port, too, is no longer the leading place
OF fashionable summer resort. The sui
phur springs in Western Virginia have
lost their prestige, only because other
agreeable resorts of the kind, of much
easier access, have been opened of late
years. 1t costs one as much to 90 to and
from those springs, as one is required to
spend for the total expense of visit to,
and short sojourn at more modern wa
tering place. Being too easy of access
has ruined the business ofSaratoga, keep
ing it, up to this season, over crowded;
much of the company being by no means
exceedingly desirable to persons indis-
posed to subject themselves and their
families to corrupting associations. Old
Point, too, is difficult of access, and
therefore has never been famous for draw
ing as large crowds as other similar es-
adjustments situated within striking
distance Of the large Atlantic cities. Cape
May is at its climax. This season the
crowd is so great there, as to make a
night spent in either of it's houses of en-
tertainment, a positive nuisance. Few
who visit the Cape this year will venture
back there hereafter. The business of
Newport has fallen victim to over-pros-
perity, and to trouble about the operation
of the Maine liquor law. Those who
formerly crammed and damned the hotels
of Newport generally went there for
pleasure, rather than in search of health,
being really more interested in the brands
OF the champagne on sale by the hotel
keepers, than in their facilities for sea-
bathing. This class Of visitors it was,
who scattered so much money there.
Their privileges having been abridged in
many ways, and prosperity having made
the landlords careless in little things ap-
pertaining to their comfort, they have
pretty much deserted that watering place
this year; leaving the towns people to
make all they can out of the regular occu-
pants Of the private cottages. These lat
ter are usually rich folks, who reside
there every summer, living within them
selves, and spending no more than though
they were at home.
On the whole, the public taste is under
going a very radical change in such mat
tiers. The smaller places Of resort-the
more humble, if the reader chooses
becoming most fashionable, because the
world has discovered that they offer most
comfort to the seeker after either health
or pleasure, while the expense attending
a visit to either of them is comparatively
q matter of moonshine. Travelling is now
so cheap, too, that thousands who here
tofore regularly settled themselves for the
season at watering place, prefer to jog
over the country; remaining here for to-
day, and there tomorrow. If Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Esq, carries out the inten-
ton attributed to him, of putting line
of steamships in operation between New
York and Liverpool, to carry passengers
at $50, thousands ON thousands of our
now regular watering place visitors will
60 yearly to Europe, the cost of the ex-
cursion being less than that of spending
the season in pleasure-seeking On this
side Of the Atlantic.

In spite of the aspersions cast upon it by it's
enemies and in spite of the unfounded insin
nations of It's lukewarm friends. seems to be
progressing finally, and the company are in
spired with determination to have theirs the
first running road west of the river. The strife
for the next two years will be fierce and un-
relenting through the whole length Of Iowa
and carried on with an ardor and energy which
has never yet been paralleled in the annals of
railway history.
We learn from letter received by James H.
Cover. Esq of this City. that hundred and
twelve men are at work in the vicinity of Ly
ons and from fifty to seventy at Upton. The
line was to be opened twelve miles west of the
river on Monday of this week. Great salts
faction is expressed at the favorable result Of
our railroad vote, and We are now anxiously
awaiting the motion of our city authorities

Very True.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says that Boston
can boast of more Mlscreants and crazy
nuisances running at large and lying around
loose, than any penitentiary or lunatic asylum
in the Union. Abolition Conventions are al.
ways their resorts, and distinguished by their
blasphemous and insane rawlings. The other
day, at one of these Boston gatherings, that
notorious fanatic, HENRY G. WRIGHT, went off
under an extra head of steam. He said.
"He was an atheist to any thing which sane.
toned slavery. 1 would put my heel upon any
government which sanctioned slavery. If
God sanctioned slavery. I would put my heel
upon him. (Hisses and applause-"Order'
from the chair-hisses and laughter from the
gallery.) Yes, I'd refuse TO obey such God
upon the auction block, and sell him like a
beast. Kisses. Mr.. W. proceeded to say that
he was an atheist to any God that sanctioned
slavery; he would spend his money and his
life to overthrow such God and such gov.
eminent. The day is past when We should
look to attributes or titles. He had no respect
for the name of God in the mouth of warrior,
a Shareholder, or a rumseller."
