THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY. August 15, 1860 Spirit ef the Merning Press. The Constitution criticises the late speech of Senator Crittenden, at Louisville, Ky. The Intelligencer asks, “ What are we quarrel- ing about?” and quotes from southern authority as it bas already done from northern, to show ‘that the slavery question is settled. +202 U> The steamer North Star, from Aspinwall, brings over one million of California gold. Gen. Harney, U.S. A , is among the passengers. Naw Music—“ Reverie,” composed for the Piano forte by Massone, and dedicated to Lady Bloomfeld—Marsh, publisher—has just been re- ceived from Metzerott. (>> The Great Eastern is anchored in the North iver, off Hammond street. She will not return to the wharf, but runsa steamer for the accom- modation of passengers. She sails for Europe to- Morrow, the !6th, and was to be closed to visitors to-day. 10> Two Syrian gentlemen are now in this country for the purpose of obtaining contributions for the relief of the sufferers by the late disturb- ances in that country. They bring letters from American missionaries and eminent men in Bey- Tout urging their claims. U7 In New York, the report of the City In- Spector shows a large increase in the table of mor. tality during the week ending the 1ith instant, it being 651, 157 more than during the previous lweek. Of these there were 127 men, 95 women. 222 boys, and 210 girls. Deaths from the brain and nerves. 144; from lungs, throat, &c., 136; from stomach and other digestive organs, 241; from un-_ certain and general fevers, 46; from the skin and ‘eruption fevers, 50; and 29 from violent causes. U7 The Richmond Enquirer announces in its number of yesterday that Mr. William F. Ritcble and Mr. Wm. W. Dunnavant have disposed of ‘their interest in that journal, which will hereafter be conducted by Messrs. Nat. Tyler and O. Jen- nings Wise, as editors and proprietors, in con- junction with Mr. W.B. Allegre. This change involves no variation in the political course of the Enquirer, which will be steadily devoted to the cause of Breckinridge and Lane. ARRIVAL oF THE PowHaTax.—The U. States steam frigate Powhatan, Capt. Geo. F. Pearson, arrived at Philadelphia yesterday afternoon, after acruise of two years and eight months in the Chinese and Japan seas. The officers and crew are all well. The Powhatan left Panama on the 16th of May, and has been nearly three months in coming round Cape Horn. She stopped twelve days at Valparaiso to take in coal, and also a few days at St. Catharine’s. The voyage altogether has been one of great variety and interest. [t will ‘be remembered the Powhatan was the flag-ship of Com. Tattnall, and brought the Japanese Em- Demy from Yeddo to Panama. —$—$____ Tur Damoceact oy Groroia.—The Breckin- ridge democrats of Georgia held their State Con- Vention at Milledgeville on Wednesday last. W- J. Vason, Eeq., presided. Eighty-nine counties, out of 132, were represented by delegates and eleven by proxies, the whole number of dele- gates present being two hundred and eighty. The proceedings seem to have been harmonious. The whole action of the Georgia delegates at Baltimore was sustained; the declaration of prin- ciples of the Seceding Convention beartily ap- Proved; and the nominations of Breckinridge and Lane endorsed and ratified. The following gentlemen were chosen Presidential Electors for ber State - : - tate at Large —Hon Cobb; Hon HR. Jackson of Chance For tha Districts—i. Peter Cone. of Bulloch; 2. W. M.

Then its only individual enterprise in successful prose- cution was asingle mammoth sugar refinery, if I remember correctly. Its now successful docks were then but projected and commenced, and a comparatively few indifferent houses were scat- tered over its waste. Now, from the water side it appears to be 2s well built up as the main city itself; shipping crowding its docks and wharves: and immense warehouses and manufactories being in sight upon it, (the island of East Boston,) rising above surrounding buildings in all direc- tions South Boston, too, that forms the other fiank of the entrance to the city’s harbor was then» when compared with what it it is now, a very desert. At this time I find it a well-built, sub- stantial city. At itsextreme point (of land) stands the city’s house of correction for viclous boys, a plain and modest collection of buildings. Further down the harbor we pass small islands dedicated by the city and State to penal and ele- mosynary purposes, all having upon them sub- stantial and extensive buildings in admirable condition, and forcing upon the stranger who is accustomed to a state of society like that in the South, where there are few paupers and fewer criminals, the impression that with all their wealth and all their piety, Massachusetts and Boston must becursed with ten times their right- fal share of crime, and twenty times their right ful share of suffering among the laboring classes from poverty. AsI look back from about six miles down the harbor, with the sun just fairly down behind the hills, the sunset scene is charming indeed, tinging everything it touches with a golden illumination, houses, ships, and even the undulations of the tops of the lower clouds on the shore, which look as though a row of brilliant lamps had been hung along upon all of them for a stretch of a mile. We are now so far down the harbor (having passed {ts staunch and costly fortifications, the Long Island Watering-place Hotel, &c., &c.,) as that the swell of the sea rocks the little steamer amazingly, though not unpleasantly tome. Look- ing seaward, the broad Atlantic once more rests under my eyes, while its breezes rolling in upon me, inspirit me to write on, which, however, ap- proaching darkness forbids. August 5.—Ere reaching Nabant (where I am now writing) last evening, the boat’s windings in the shore-channel’s intricacies exhibited to those on board various very beautiful views of conspic- uous objects surrounding and within Boston bar- bor, not otherwise to beseen toso much advan- tage : light-houses, ledge-beacons, light-boats, the State nautical-school buildings, half a dozen watering-place hotels, villages, and sumptuous waterside summering seats of Bostonians of wealth, besides Cape Cod and Cape Ann; the ocean being, from everywhere, in sight, the while On landing, I found the famous Nahant Hotel closed ; the cost of keeping it open for the last two or three seasons not being paid by the patronage received. It is designed to accommodate twelve hundred souls, and bas a commanding Position. But, alas for the vicissitudes of the testes of the fashions of the times! Beston, though her wealthy men took Nahant particularly under their wing, has been unable to draw sufficient custom to keep such an establishment open, even at this really finest sea-side summer-sojourning point in the United States. It strikes me that the reason why, for the purpose designed, Nahant has proved a dead failure, is just because Boston’s wealthy citizens rather than her working thousands under- took the job mentioned above. Exclusiveness evidently reigns here now. The Peninsula is studded with beautiful cottages surrounded by cantly, well_pressswad grannda each inhahited hu 8 family that seem to wrap themselves up in the ceremonious dignity of the Tycoon of Japan. Hence few except those whom they regard as equals in society find it agreeable to come here in summer; and the magnificent hotel has conse- quently proved a dead loss to its Proprietors. I am at the unpretending village inn, where I find every necessary comfort and very civil peo- ple. Sol have been enjoying the quiet of this day—Sunday—here, and the delicious cool breeze from the sea, after my own fashion. To me, the absence of pleasure-seeking thousands, adding almest unexampled quiet to the soothing calm- ness of the beautiful water views from Nahant’s rocks and beaches, isa luxury beyond expression with the pen. Turn whither I will, anew and charming view strikes the eye. The rocky islets near the shore each look like an unconquerable natural fortress, their rugged proportions rising so suddenly and commandingly from the water. The multitude of villages and outstretching beaches laying scattered around landward, and the dark blue of the receding expanse of water, looking seaward, keep me constantly with out- stretched neck. ature and art have both done more to make Nahant the most charming water- side resting place on this continent at this season of the year, to the person really seeking rest, cool sea breezes and excellent sea bathing, than for any other such point. Cape May’ssurf is not to be enjoyed here; but one finds here in Sts stead, beaches equally as fine as those of Cape May, a multitude of views a thousand times surpass- ing Cape May’s single view seaward, walks and drives innumerable, unsurpassed anywhere, shrubbery and shade that will gladden the heart of any lover of those two so delightful luxuries to the fagged out city man of business; and sea air that cannot fail to reinvigorate his overtasked strength when quietly enjoyed. With all these attractions, were Nabant really within the reach of the tolling thousands of Boston and the thick- ly-populated country surrounding it, its fortunes as @ summer resort would doubtless have been different. But the wealth and intense fashion of the “‘modern Athens’ have practically tabooed it to all save themselves. They cut a great dash, it is true, as they rode leisurely along its beaches on the'r daily drives this—Sunday—afternoon, in their very heavy and dignified carriages. But they fail most woefully to pay. the people living here interested in the businéss of Nahant as a watering-place, who, while they would not like to lose the ornamental effect of their magnificent cottages, doubtless heartily wish every mother’s son and daughter of them to the ——, as the de- stroyers of Nahant’s prosperity. The finest improvements upon the peninsula are those of Mr. Tudor, the Boston iceman. Me is the originator of Boston’s so profitable business of exporting Yankee ice wherever Yankee ships can carry it to thirsty and overheated souls in other latitudes; by which he is said to have amassed a large fortune. The fact that he is a person of great enterprise and brains and exceed. ingly good taste, is evinced in the style of his buildings and grounds—his cottage of massive granite being the finest range of buildings for the purpose, probably, in the country; while its out- buildings are scarcely less substantial and orna_ mental. His grounds, too, surpass almost any others in the country. Being entirely a self-made man, I question whether he belongs to Nabant’s exclusive set; and from the kind manner in which all those actually belenging here speak of him, ! fancy he does not. Just now, Professor Agassiz, the naturalist savan, {s the lion of Nahant. He hos a cottage here in conhection with President Felton, of Harvard University. It would have effurded me great pleasure to have seen him, but no opportunity has oceurred to-day, and I am compelled to be upon the wing again shortly after sunrise to-morrow; and thus must forego that gratification. Prescott, by-the-by, wrote most of his ‘‘Ferdinand and Isabella” in a cottage here, which is pointed out to strangers as having been his summer residence for years. —_.—___ Fatino ovr in Custom House Recxirrs.— ‘The decrease in receipts from customs at New York, for the last seven months, taken in com- parison with the Period, of last year, is G1,49},000.

Hott.—Last evening about 6 o’clock, the estimable lady of the Postmaster General, who has been for a long time in a pre- carious state of health, breathed her last, sur- rounded by a large circle of relatives and friends. Although this sad event was not altogether un- looked for, as for some time past she has been ob- served to be rapidly declining, yet, so highly esteemed was she by all who knew her that it ‘was with the profoundest regret the announce- ment of her decease was received. well recollect her as the accomplished Miss Wickliffe, than whom there was none at that day possessing qualities which would be more likely to ease dea them to the respect and ad- roiration of all whom they might become ac- quainted than the deceased. On the wanes of yesterday, in the presence of her venerable pa- rents ‘and others, the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was administered bythe Rev. Dr Tustin, of the Presbyterian church, of which she was an exemplary member. Deceased was about thirty- eight years of age. acces will be conveyed to her late home in Kentucky, in the 320 train this afternoon, where the funeral obsequies will be observed. As a token of respect to the deceased, the Gen- eral Post Office Departinent was closed atan early hour this morning, and will so remain through- out the day. ages DEPARTURE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN Arrains.—Hon. A. B. Greenwood, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, leaves the city this afternoon, in the 320 train, on an official visit to Pike’s Peak. He contemplates being absent until about the latter part of October, and will be accompa- nied in this tour by a party of ten or twelve per- sons, among whom are Mr. Rhett, Macon Thomp- son, and Ash White. This visit is with reference to the Indian troubles reported to be existing there. The Commissioner expresses the utmost confidence in being able to entirely quell these little disturbances ; to restore peace and harmony among them, and securing respect and obedience to our Government and {ts laws. From the suc- cess which has heretofore attended this able and efficient officer.whenever he has visited turbulent tribes of Indians, we are led to believe that his expectations and hopes in this case will be fully realized. Chas. E. Mix. Esq., the courteous and worthy Chief Clerk of this Bureau,will discharge the duties of this position ad interim. SS) ABSENCE oF THE COMMANDANT OF TRE Navy Yarp —Commodore Buchanan, the efficient and courteous commandant of the Washington Navy Yard, left the city yesterday afternoon on a brief visit to the Saratoga Springs. He will probably be absent not longer than two weeks. i Rerort oF aN Invias Fight NeaR Fort Ritey Not CrepiTED --The report published by us yes- terday of a terrible Indian fight near Fort Riley, in which it is alleged about 300 Pottowattomies and Delawares were killed, is not credited at tte Indian Bureau. nes Deav —A.
