Our little town is now wearing its usual sum
beauty. and visitors are beginning to seek it's
delightful salt bathing, and to enjoy its delicious
sof crabs, oysters, fish, &C. which hotel keep
ers know how to serve up so ncely-Burcher,

A circumstance occurred last night, which came
near throwing must charming family into the
depths of woe but which, thanks to mercu
Providence, resulted in nothing very serious. Oc
casi0nal parties of ladies and gentlemen, from this
place to Old Point in the evening, for the purpose
of enjoying the fine concerts gwen by tue band,
connected with tie fortress ana to meet with plea
SAINT friends troHl various sections who are now
gathering at that delightful watering place. On
last evt min; "a oung gentleman started from Hamp
in buggy , accompanied by sweet li,te
girl about thirteen years DID, to participate in the
Old Point festivities. In crossing the Hampton
bridge the horse became restiye, and commenced
backing to the side rails, beneath which was ten
teet water with q rapid current, the gentleman
sprang out and attempted To take his companions
out asc but before he could attain bis object the
horse reared, and buggy, horse and the beautiful
little being in the buggy ware precptAteh into he
flowing current. The little gill thrown sUme
ten feet beyond the vehicle and when she found
herself alone i'll the dark wafer, hutfttting its
waves With presence of mind, scar, eluallrd
she thi " herself upon her back and continued to
fall, when, graceful as a Nsad, she struck cut
towards the bridge where she rescued from
her perilous situation and reached her hon tefore
er parents were aware of her mishap. She is a
very rosy checked, bright eyed little thing named
Matte W %"**', youngest daughter OF KT%"""
Wig, Esq, of this place. The hUiss was
drowned.
There is much disgust manifested by the Episco.
palans here at the recent outrage upon decency
and proprieiy by the Rev. dudley A. Tyngs
in iadeiutiG n IN rolucp
the pulpit OF his cuurch, in that city. Were Il shop
Potter to serve him light be would suspend him
from the ministry. The same Rev. Dudley A..
Tying lectured in Baltimore last winter before the
Mary la0d Institute, and offensive were lis re-
marks that the Baltimore Republican and w ash
ington Star administered him proper and
sonable rebuke. His iDdomiiabe vanity is
ever leading him into difficulties, and he has now
consummated his folly by throwing a fire brand
into church which has refused to iegisla,e upon
subject, the Introduction of which, IN other rel-
gous bodies, has produced divisions and disneln-
berment.
Among the improvements going on in our neig'
borhood is beautiful Italian Villa, erected by
Captain Newton. OF the u. 5. A. This, with the
large and spacious Academy of John B. Cary.
Esq gives our little town quite a distiRSHs ap
pearance; while the Alton House. with its
rolling green, and Chesapeake Hail." with its
beautiful shades, present attractions which you
poor fellows in the city rarely enjoy. The exer-
cises of the Hampton Academy will " come off ,
some time this month. 1t is understood that Jas
Barron Hope, Esq Zone of the countrys sweetest
poets. and of pirsiuias most gifted sons) will
| address the graduating classes. The Academy is
in most iourishing condition under its highly eff
ficient and intellectual principal, sud bids fair 10
be one of the most prominent in the State. The
Principal, John b. cary, Esq is a Virginia gen
tleman-devoted to tue interests Of his native
State, and withal Southern in all his proclivies,
and one of the finest classics VIC have. With such
Institutions as blessed with in Virginia,
will Southern parents and guardians patronize
those establishments at the North where higher
law ethics are taught, and where their fathers
and friends are stigmatized as robbers and muir
deTers
| had almost forgotten to say, that among other
| signs of improvement in this place is a regular
| book store. One Of your former young citizens,
Mr. Christopher L. keesee, has opened a choice
| supply OF volumes, embracing the nost desirable
| works, and withal, is such clever fellow, that
| every body likes him; ana hope his efforts to
| supply such a desideratum will meet with q TO
per reward. You may again hear from
fours, very truly, PRoTEUs.
