CAPE ISLAND, n. j., August 10, 1864.
SIR The season at this favorite watering
place opened late this year, caused in some degree
by the raid into Maryland and Pennsylvania, but
a goodly number Of visitors have since been
here. Probably there were more here on Sunday
last than at any other period during the summer.
Tho intense heat Of the preceding fortnight drove
all out Of Philadelphia who could get away, and
though this summer at Cape May has been the
warmest known there for twelve years, yet what
rs called warm weather at Cape May would he
considered very comfortable in Philadelphia. I
have known winter clothing worn at Cape May
on days when the thermometer was over ninety
degrees In Philadelphia.
The bathing ground has been duly honorcd
this year. IL is certainly q very animated and
picturesque spectacle to see so many hundreds
IN the surf at once enjoying themselves. One
thing is noticeable this year which has not been
so common on previous seasons, namely, the
large number Of female swimmers. Many Of the
young girls excel in this useful and hcalthful
exercise. Our swimming sports have not been
without good effect in this direction.
Last night we had the pleasure of listening 10
Colonel Jaques, Of Illinois, who made two eX-
cellent speeches from the piazza of the United
States Hotel. Among the auditors were party
Of volunteers from Delaware, who have recently
re-cnlisted. They favored the visitors at the
stand with a number Of patriotic songs in the
course Of the evening. They came on an eXcHr-
sion party and returned this morning, leaving q
good name behind them for the proprIety Of theit
conduct. Yours, ETC., NY.

and that he was compelled to retire in the dircc-

his cavalry and part of Forests troops. The
emmy was driven through Oxford and pursued
fifteen miles further-during which flight a num-
Der of Rebels were killed and three caissons cap
