EDITORS J0CREAbs-IhlSzb beautiful city
by the sea, which has become one of the
most celebrated watering places In the couu-
try, has not received Its usual number of
visitors during the past season. The hotel
keepers have all done losing business.
The proprietor of the Ocean House, am
Y told has lost six thousand dollars, and the
Atlantic, Belvue and Fillmore have all lost
money. There are about one hundred resi-
dencss owned by wealthy gentlemen from
various gections Of the county which they
have occupied during the past three or four
months, aud an equal number have been
rented for the summer by owners residing
here. Considering the state of the country,
have found here much larger number of
pleasnre-eeekers than I expected. Those
who beheld the splendid carriages, drawn
by elegantly caparisoned steeds, that, In
scores, were driven through the streets in
July and August would not conclude that
the war had occasioned much suffering or
sorrow here. In fact, Newport seems to
have suffered less than any other city in
the Union. The removal of the naval school
from Annapolis 20 this point has compen-
sated the people for the loss of Southern
travel with which the city has usually been
| favored The old war frigate Constitution
| lies in this beautiful harbor and during the
past summer she has been visited by thous-
ands of patriotic men and women, who
have gazed with admiration upon a vessel
that achieved such glorious naval victories.
The Atlantic House has been rentsd for the
use of the officers and pupils Of the school
during the winter, and il presents aner

with the exception of the TWO States above
mentioned, she has not yet come up to her
