Arrival Of A 1Iniral F0rramut.

For several days past our citizens have
anxiously awaited the coming Of one Of our
naval heroes, whose name is as o household
word, and whose gallant deeds form part Of
Hartford arrived at this port yesterday after.
noon, from New Orleans direct, bringing as =
passenger Rear Admiral Farragut, the honor
cd Chief Of the Western Gulf Blockading
Squadron.
As the Hartford steamed slowly up toward
merous crafts Of various size and nationaltties,
who, BY the dip Or the co1ors, the manning Of
the wards, and the ringing OF the bell, testi-
fed their respect and admiration for the hero
Of SO many battles, whose fights have been
victorious, and whose victories have shed q
1ustre on the annals Of the navy. As she
passed Long Branch she vas met BY the new
steamship Golden City, which, with a gay party
On board, was making her trial trip. The
steamer at once rou2ded to, and the passeR-
gers assembled upon the deck, where they
cLeered Time aud time again their regard for
the Admiral, which he courteously acknow1-
edged and rec}procated with bow, At tho
NaIroFsa salute Of thirteen guns was fired
from the forts there, at Quarantine by e. B.
Malesty's ship Jason, on the way up from
Fort Wood and Fort Columbus, from thu
Spanish and French Ffigates, and the United
State ship Sabine.t
The Admiral is In excellent health, and has
enjoyed the trip home exceedingly.
The Hartford, which has recently been his
Aagship, Is screw propeller Of the same class
Us tho Richmond, which NO have but recently
described at length in tho TINES. She Is l 800
tons burden, Of the second rate, and carries
28 guns. She left Philadelphia In February.

She went direct to Key West and Ship lsland,

and rifle balls. She must so into dry dock

character, even to the extent Of COUNSEL

have no more doubt than that the sun WILL

been, correct, without a statement OF the
grounds upon which our belief is founded.
Andswe must, in view Of what we know
and fear, expect all loyal men to be on
their guard ready, 50 that, at moments
notice, they may come to the assistance Of
the constituted authorities Of the Republic,
for the preservation Of the institutions and
liberties Of the country. The day is not
far distant when the meaning and necessity
for this exhortation will be understood
when ten thousand men in Illinois alone

holy work-wiu be stripped Of their

Of Mr.. Lincoln to overthrow the Constitu-

the last eudeavor Of the malignnnts, except
that one fo1 which they are organizing
an appeal to arms; but it involves in it.

From Saratoga.

SARATOGA, Aug. I, 1868.
It Is the common remark that we have but
few handsome women ut Saratoga this season.
Ladies' tell me that while perhaps there is
more tinsel and chow ut the "5tates," there
is more beauty at the Congress than at any
other hotel. The two most beautiful ladies
here nre both from B1ooklyn-both are mar
ried-both are under the escort Of their hus-
bands. One Of them, MIS-. B., is d queenly
lady, Of undeniab1c grace Of manner, brilliant
eyes and complexion, and who dresses with o
taste that would create envy in the eyes Of
the Empress OF the French. She is marked
tn all places In which she appears. AL who
know her ara the enYy Of those who do not,
and all strangers at once ask, aWho Is that
lady?" The other. lady, Mrs. r., ts a tall,
finely formed, elegantly dressed Indy, with
head Of marked beauty, and eyes the most
charming TINT can be conceived, while the
whole make up Of the lady il beautiful indeed.
At the table, at the springs, on promenade,
she is the object Of universal attention. Both
attended the ball ut the Union, for the benefit
Of HILLS Band, and ontshone oil others.
Thanksgiving Day had d general observ-
arce. The churches were united In the large
Presbyterian house, which was crowded. The
eminent men In the State and church graced
the OCCASION with their presence. Rev. Mat.
thew Hale Smith, Of New York, made the
