FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER IS. 1854.
| An ATTRACTIVE ScENE.-Our contempt
rary of the Hampton News draws delight
ful picture OF ''the Autumn hued woods. ant
the gorgeous sunsets, which Chataubriand
has described as peculiar to the beautiful
seas which bathe Virginia.; the sunsets which
remind one of some of Sir Walters splendid
pictures, rivalling Tin one instance, if we re
member correctly, in the Antiquary,) the
savage magnifcence of Salvador Rosa de-
scription which we would quote, had we the
volume beside US, but in default of this, and
IN consideration of our avowed intention to
be poetical, intensely poetical, we will ven
ture to paint one after our own fashion,
Ahem! As the evening gathers, there falls
over the broad bosom Of the bay and the
wide roadstead before us, shower of golden
and splendid light, unsurpassed by the sunsets
in any latitude; purple and crimson are the
clouds which gather around the setting sun,
in broken and fantastic shapes purple and
crimson too glow the waters, while the break
ers which tumble uponthe white sand, beach
| of the Chesapeake sing in a subdued and me-
lancholy tone, the same song which they have
| hymned for centuries; there, too, seagull
lifts his white wing ever and anon among the
breakers, varying the monotony of their
ceaseless voices by the shrill discord of his
own" #e
THE KUNKEL TRoUPE.-We look upon the
Kunkel Troupe, now in this city, as in some
sense public benefactors. They not only af-
| ford excellent music and innocent amusement
to all, but their representations of negro
character before Northern audiences. have
an excellent effect in dissipating the unbound
ed prejudices and exploding the malicious L.
bels which are so rife in that section. They
| show up negro life as it exists in reality, an
| existence of happiness and contentment in
stead of repining and misery. Weweresome-
what surprised to learn that the hits at abo-
lition with which their songs and representa-
tions abound, are precisely those which elicit
most applause among Northern audiences.
JULEPs AND KIssEs.-The editor of the
Hampton News, swears that though mint .ju-
ieps are divine, they can't be compared with
the kisses of pretty girl. The editor says
he has tried both and ought to know
Our contemporary proceeds to express his
surpri that the proprietors of the Hampton
hotels should not exert themselves to prolong
the season" but they should admit its ter
mination when the partridge begins to whis.
tie and aquatic lu1uries are at their perfec.
tion, with the addition of venison and other
game. "It is the time too,' exclaims the
News, "oh yerosy checked wearers of blonde
and illusion, when dancing is most agreeable:
when the evenings are most balmy; the see
merry most beautiful the nights most serene;
and firtations most delightful
A charming picture, this! Crimson clouds,
majestic waves, whistling patridges, luscious
oysters, savory venison and tender damsels!
Egad, we begin to grow young again amid
such inspiring contemplations.
The ALLIED ARMIE..-The allies have lost
more man by cholera at Varna than with or
binary prudence, they could have possibly
lost in attacking Sebastopol. 1t is question
able whether it would not be better policy to
go ahead, in the midst of the plague, than to
sit down and die. The mind has great effect
on the body in disease, and the animation
which the expectation of a splendid achieve
ment would diffuse, might have relieved the
troops from the cholera. 1t is curious fact,
that when the yellow fever was once raging
at Havana, the circulation of report that
an American expedition was about to attack
the town, was followed by the immediate dis
appearance of the epidemic. The fear of
Brother Jonathan was greater than that of
Yellow Jack. If the allied troops had lit.
tie occupation for their minds, it would be all
the better for their bodies
KossUTH.-The London correspondent of
the New York Herald says:
kossuth has delivered another oration as TELLING
as any of his former Ones The great Hunosrisnn
refuses to speak merely to crafty the public. If
ry day In the year. He only processes to come be
fore the English public when any new phase of the
great war requires fresh elucdaton in reference to
Hungary No orator since Demosthenes is 90 per.
be spsaks ip foreign language, he is miracle
The British Ministry are gained u 6eath 81 Hios,
and their best writer's 10 vain set up to answer
him. They taunt him with abusing the hospitality
OF England. His denunciations Of the folly and
criminaliy of British statesmen are overwhslm.
ing. In his last oration he insisted that Bessaraba
ont to be taken from Russia. The chief objection
which the Morning Chronicle" the government
organ, makes to this that 1t 10 premature.
Kossuth has shown more sense and sagacity
on the Eastern question than the whole Brit
ish ministry put together. If they had real
ly in good earnest wished to chastise Nicho-
las, they had only to listen for five minutes to
Kossuth. If they had armed Poland, and ap.
pealed to the people instead of the despots,
they would by this time be in possession Of st.
Petersburg.
SIR CHARLES NAPIER.-The British United
Serp'ce Gazette, the organ of the Army and
Navy, is down, like thousand of brick, up
on Sir Charles Napier and Admiral Chands.
It abuses them both soundly for their inac-
