NEWPORT.
Aletter to the N. Y. "Ncws" says:
In spite of hard times, and despite of the sys
teEiatic attacks of enemies without, and the
croaking ftimid friends within, the season at
Newport for this yearPromiSes to be as brilliant
and gay as any ofits predecessors. Itmay not
prove as long as some, and as highly rcmunera-
tive to the hotel keepers others, but upon the
whole think there will be little call for com
plant of II bad business this summer. 1t is pa.
tent that change has come over the character
of the fashionable season at Newport. This
change has been gradually coming on for num-
Der of years, and is marked by n growing re-
gard Of comfort and economical expenditure as
against the homage to fashion and profusion of
outlay in former Years. Now it is fashionable
to examine the condition of the purse, and be
governed thereby; then it was fashion to "d-n
the expense" altogether, and the devotees of the
tickle goddess dashed ahead as within might lead
regardless of consequences. The present is the
most satisfactory state ofthingS, aud Newport
is deriving, and has already received substantial
benefits from the change. incorporation as WIS.,
itOrS have become careful, so have the inhabi-
tunts grown economical and thrifty.
The hotels, which, are considered kind of
thermometer of watering placs prospects, show
II good elevation. The arrivals are increasing
daily, aud by the LIST of August, the indications
are that all will be well peopled.
The bathing is extremely fine just now, and
the beach presents most animated appearance
every morning. The afternoon drives are really
splendid and are improved by every one who
can raise nag. "Fort DAYS" have been inuu
gurated at Fort Adams There is company of
flying artillery now at the Fort, with few SOL
ders, recruiting their health. The drive to the
Fort is very pleasant and the spot is one Of great
interest.
OLD POINT, VA.
At this favorttc Watering place there are from
five to six hundred visitors.
CAPE MAY, too, IS well sited, particularly
by the Pennsylvanians and Marylanders.
NAuANT is both full and gay.
The vOtarieS of TCrpiSchoTe are numerous at
Saiatoga: and they indulge themselves to mode
ration every evening. Old and young are to
be found ningling in the same Quadrie. The
band give them goodly variety of music, and
Quadriiles, LancieTS, RedowaS &C., &C., follow
each other in regular succession.
TOBACCO Growing IN Souru WESTERN Va
The Tazewell county, Va, AdrOcate, is urging
the frrmers of that section to grow tobacco more,
and gram less. 1t says:
IAN intelligent gentleman residing at the
junction of Monroe and Mercer counties, assured
us few days since that three years experiment
has established the truth that larger profits can
be made on the lands Of those two counties, by
growing tobacco, than can he made upon the
cotton fields Of Mississippi. His experiment is
entitled to the more weight from tie fact that
he has resided some years in that State, and
speaks from actual experiment and observations
The lands in Monroe, have, during the past year,
upon an average, produced one hundred dollars
per acre. Each yielding from 500 to 1000
pounds, the labor of three hands being neces.
Sary to twelve acres. Strange to say, these lands
are yet cheap, prices ranging rom one to five
dollars per acre This arises from the want Of
labor aud capital. 1t is also worthy observation
that the same hands necessary TO attend crop
of to Jocco can also produce much more wheat,
corn aud other staples than are necessary for
their support.
