BATHING AT NEwPoRr.-The Newport cor
respondent of the Providence journal pre-
diets lively season at Newport. Bancroft is
at his residence on the Avenue, and Tucker
man is at the Atlantic, with many others well
known to the world. The writer gives the
following general description of bathing
scene:
"Thc bathing this season is charming, and
hundreds, thousands, relish and enjoy it..
From morning till night the bathers are seen
in the surf, for which they seem to have the
strongest attachment. The early morning is
given to servants invalids, and those who
think dip viii do them good, appear on the
sands at somewhat later hour, and by eleven
o'clock the fashionable crowd take possession
of the little boxes, called by courtesy bathing
houses, into which many forms enter, to come
forth in few minutes strangely disguised and
in most unique apparel.
The hair is protected by cap of oil silk !;
a coarse chip hap, bound with red carpet bind
ing, answers for covering for the head the
sack is of some grave or sombre color slashed
with something lighter; the Bloomer pants are
of red flannel, and the feet are left bare-or
should be-for comfort and convenience
Think Of several hundred of these fair ones,
some of them with forms that Helen might
have envied, dancing in the surf and toying
with the breakers, which clasp them in their
rude embrace as they rush on to the shore,
where, dying for very joy and pleasure, they
murmur still an unending song Of love and
tenderness"

THE BOSTON POST AND SLAVERY.

The Boston Post quotes what we said of its
present position in relation to the merits of
slavery and the doctrine of emancipation, and
replies with unnecessary heat, as follows
"The only proper answer to the above asser-
tons is that they are totally false; the author
of them knew he lied when he wrote them
We might with justice have replied to the
Post i'll this style, the other day, when it so
deliberately and unquaifedly charged the Spy
with being "a Garrisonian sheet" That false
hood was very atrocious, and it was dictated
by a very malicious motive. 1t was, however,
more hurtful to its author than to anybody
else; therefore, we let it pass. While the Post
is SO ready to utter deliberate falsehoods con-
corning its neighbors, it may as well be as pa
tient and cool as possible when truths are
spoken Of itself and found to be unpleasant
because uttered without equivocation.
As to the assertions" which the Post con-
tradicts SO angrily, they seem to us to be en-
tirely true. Slavery appears in the columns
of the Post as rightful, patriotic, ill-used in
stitution, which high-minded patriots should
rescue from all impending and possible dan.
gers. If the Post does not mean this, what
does it meana One of the Assertions" SO
hotly denied, is, that the Post manifests its
faith "by upholding Southern Democrats who
declare that the Union must be wrecked, if
necessary, in defense of slavery and the slave
holders" Will the Post pretend to deny that
some of its influential party associates at the
South talk dsunionism in this style? Or can
it show that it has ever disclaimed party fellow
ship with such reasonable men? The Post is
accustomed to be loud against disunionists,
here in the North, where there are no dis
unionists in any OF the political parties but
was that journal ever heard to denounce such
men as Senator Iyerson of Georgia? No,
never. 1t maintains a very cordial partisan
brotherhood with men Of that sort. Our as
sertion was true. If the Post were not con-
scious that what we said really appears to all
candid observers to be true, it would doubtless
reply with less irritation.

ATTEMPT AT SUIcIDE.-On Sunday after
noon, about o'clock, man named Patrick
Drooney, who resides in the short cross street
leading from East Central to Pine street, in
this city, and works upon the farm of Captain
Samuel Putnam, on Belmont street, was found
by the neighbors suspended by cord around
his neck, attached to joist in his cellar.
When taken down, it was discovered that he
had been hanging some time, as he appeared
senseless for while, but subsequently recov-
cred, and was about his usual work on Mon
day. There had been some difficulty between
him and his wife, and appearances indicated
that she was privy to the act, as she saw him
putting his neck into the rope, and no alarm
was raised until it was made by tho other per-
sons in the house.

CoTToN PRoFITs.-In De Bows Review
for July we find the average profits of the cot
ton crop in the Southern States, for several
years, set down at $27,000,0 900. Admitting
this to be correct, perhaps, if those who fear
the sudden depopulation of the northern tier
of slave States of their black labor would
compare the power of the cotton States to buy
with the natural increase of blacks in these
States, they would not exhibit such trepida
ton in view of what they call the gloomy fu-
ture.
The Northern slave States have an annual
increase of 10000 slaves S27,00000O, at
present prices, will buy about II 1888 of this
natural increase, leaving an annual addition to
the number of blacks in the slave-exporting
States, of about $4,000. This does not look
very terrible. We hope nobody will be alarm

Withdrawals, the netincrease, during the month,
of the amount deposited was more than sirty
