Contrary 70 expectation, Saratoga
is crowded. Some say deere were
never more strangers in town lhan at
present Congress aud Union Halls
are a good deal more than full, aud
the other houses are in pretty muel
tie same condition.
Il is iho anne endless scene Of gay
ely--tlie same ceaseless round Of
pleasure, with one e1ccpiion-lhe abb
sence of Tic chi1alry with their
proul step and " severe aspect" Yet

ter il seems here than it used 70 when

There is no better place 10 get
view Of tie upper or weather class
Of Americans than Saratoga, and sure
" the survey viii not be found alto
gether unsatisfactory. They are for
The most part well locking, well edu.
Gated and genilemanly men, ard fai.
and modest women.
As usual, every one IS here, The
belle, with her endless change Of COS
tune the beau, with his soft, elegant
and mellihuous manners; the matron
who has seen the vanity Of show, and
in spite Of her plain gown is the main
spoke Of the circles in which she
moves; the bride, equally proud OIL
her pretty hat and her tall husband
the merchant, as dignifed and unim-
paSsioned as his store front on Broad
way the restless Western, who thinks
every thing about right, but little
''too slow AL intent upon appro-
p iating copious draughts from The in
MIGRATING springs OF Saratoga, and
the perennial fountains Of pleasure.
Who would think, as be gazes upon
this scene Of endless gayety and lavish |
EXPENSE, that the country was in the /
very midst Of the most gigantic war
tie world. ever saw a war which has
AMI will call into the field at least tgo |
OF soldiers, and create a ma !
tional debt Of three billions Of dollars. /
II brings to mind the familiar lines Of /
Byron, as he describes the eve Of
Waterloo.
+" There was sound Of revelry bv night.
And Belgium's capital had gathered there
Her beauty and her chiyalry."
i shows, too, the wonderful vivaci-
+ and elasticity Of the American char
acter, and perhaps some other eyiden-
ces Of n less complacent nature.
There ate but few yermonters in
own at present. Senator Foot was
here last week. We had the pleas
ire 81 meeting, last evening, our es.
teemed friend Judge Wright, Of Cas-
Teton. at the Clarendon. Miss Jennie
c. ard her sister Miss Mary c.,
81 poanal, are also stopping at the
same louse, and as is quite apt to be
lie case with the Green Mountain
girls, there were no preitier girls in
lie parlor Than they.
By lie way, Of all the hotels Of
Saratoga, we give tile preference to
he Clarendon; il is just built in tie
nodern style, on the preticst site in
he yiIlage, quiet, ecmmodious, and
admirably kept by Wm. Dorian, for
nerly Of the Mansion House, Troy.
Il is well patronized BY a most excel /
ent class Of people, and is, We proph.
,cy, to be one day the leading hotel
