up q hotel at the village Of the Gap, sooo 70 be
opened, and into the a. yet scarcely naished build
ing we we're admitted. Here we have . beautiful
valley and mountain view Of several miles In ex-
tent here the birds sing in August they do else
where in May here the low murmur OF the Della
ware and the prattle OF the mountaiu brooks, the
laughing waters of the cascades and the signing OF
the forest make all nature melodious.
The kittakinny itself il most dramatically sstuat-
ed on the brow OF precipice overhang,ng the
Delaware while far above. TO an elevation VI nearly
two thousand feet above Underwater, rise the noun
tains of the Gap.
This has been plaoe Of Philadelphia rather
than New York resort but with the facility OF &C
now afforded by railroad from the latter place
New York visiters must surely increase. How glo
rious must these mountains appear when they put
on the gorgeous livery Of autumn! How delightful
in th1se cool days to explore the mountain paths
and seek those lofty SUBMITS whence the view II 30
magnificent!
The view Of the combined valleys OF Cherry
Creek and the Delaware from points near the new
hotel wants but Castle Howard in the centre TO re
semble much the representations OF the Vale OF
Avoca, for here "the bright waters meet" kere IL
the purest Of crystal and brightest Of green;" here
is the "soft magic OF streamlet and hill" and doubt
less much "more exquisite still.o
Let those, then, who have only heard or read OF
the Delaware Water Gap be assured the half Of its
beauties has not been described to them. Let them
come and see.

Orr NANTUCKET HARBoR, Aug. Is, 1856.
A Cruise ,cih the Nec England Yacht Club
Fishing of Ponder Hole Harbor-Ho,c Biuyfsh
and Cod ar Thken-Fishing for Ducks, &C.. &c.
When last wrote, we that Is TO say, the New
England Yacht Club-were In Edgartown, Marthas
Vineyard. propose to-day TO ny something about
the cod and bluedshing in this region, which may
be interesting TO your readers. On Monday morn
ing, August IL, we left the Vineyard" for Mont.
moy, at Cape Maabar, the south easternmost extre-
nifty Of Cape Cod. We stopped on our way, and lay
at anchor at Cape Poag, for the purpose Of digging
cod bait, which Is nothing more nor less than long
clans In the afternoon free and strong southwest
breeze sc, over to Monimoy in very short order.
The Powder Hole-for 20 the harbor Is called-is
the only safe harbor or anchorage in this vicinity
The original name OF the harbor was Powder Horn,
from the fancied resemblance Of the land bounding
the harbor TO that useful implement. This har
Dor, a. fishing seasons, when eastery storms are
threatening, Is filed with ood6shing schooners They
flock in by hundreds There are no houses here,
several stores and fish drying and packing houses
being the only buildings on the land, which Is
nothing but long and crooked sand spit, one OF the
most uninviting and inhospitable looking places
conceivable. We found here the United states sur
veying schooner Gallatin, Lieut.. Houston command
ing, which Is on the coast survey In this region.
The bluefishng in the ups az they are called IL
excellent sport most New Workers who are
accustomed TO aquatic sports are familiar
with the manner in which II is carried on no;
at anchor and with bait, but under full sail with a
hook towing out astern. The hook has long handle
Of lead or bone, and II Is drawn rapidly through
the water resembles small fish swimming on the
surface the bluefsh, which feed on the smaller
Ash bite, at this deceptive hook, and are caught and
drawn on board. This, as you may conceive, IL
peculiarly pleasant style Of fishing You avoid both
the trouble of handling and putting on bait, and the
tediousness Of rolling szily at anchor.
The places where blue dsh run are mostly tide
currents, and their presence may be recognized
either by their own jumps into the air or by the
lowering Of the cus, which hang over the same
schools Of smell fsh that the blueish jump after.
