We paid a visit to Saratoga Lake yesterday, for the first time.

Upon out arrival we found dn elegant steamboat, the R. B. Coleman, commande‘ by Capt. Li. BR. Gould, ready to opp a us to the recetitly dist waied sul- pher spring, a distance of about 7 miles. ‘the Cap* tain isa gentlemanly little man, quite enthusiastic on the subject of his new boat, the virtues of the magic waters, the beauty of the scenery, and the prospects ripening for the future. As we were slowly gliding through the sheet of silver, (‘A mirror amifa bath for Beauty’s youngest daughters!" We Caitld not but reflect on the vast changes which time liad brought about—the strange and stirring evenis which have becomé¢ a slottion of our history. Here in this peaceful valley—on the shores of this quiet lake; embosomed in hills clothed with lof- ty oaks attd spreading pines; once the hunt- ing and fishing ground of the ted man.— the goddess of fuanlon was about erecting her glittering throne. The wealth and beauty of the Ang Saxon race had come to visit it, and in place ot the wigWaiti afd the shrill war whoop, an ele- gant and substantial hotel Wa8 son to rise= “As from the stroke of an enchanter’s wand ;" through whose spacious galleries the merry voi of dark-eyed maids, from luxurious and cultivated eircles—the soul-stitring strains of delicious music “(he sparkling jest, and joyous laugh of happy childhood shall ‘eeho, and re-echo in unfettered harmony. Verily, there af@ tto bounds to man’s ambition—a once mighty and powerful people, who owned no master save the Great Spirit—who, with astep, free and elastic, trod these hills in blissful ignorance of what is called civilization, have passed ayeys forever, like the leaves of au- tumn. They lave shrenk and withered before the onward and rapid march of superior intellect and wisdom—their hunting grounds have become the farms ofthe white man, and where the war fire burned most brightly, magnificent cities have been reared. Who shall say that a time will not come in the history of man, when we proud and hepeite Anglo-Saxons shall bow in humble suppliance at the foot of an i ler—that we shall not become the hirelings and of seme yet unborn but mightier ra as whirlwind’s blast, and swe who ee the dark and mysterious ways of d tiny, or humanity? In the midst of these reflections, we arrived atjour des- tinution, and hastened to sip of the sparkling waters from the bubbling fountain, and inspect the grounds whereon the costly structure is to be erected. The sce- tiery in this neighberhood is of the wildest and most ro- mantic character, combjning loveliness with dread mag- nificence. kmbosomed in groves, whose mysterious shade speak of a voluptuous repose, dnd invite to a hap- Ry indolence, this elegant hotel will rise in justness and eauty of proportion, like the fairy creation of Aladdin’s Lamp, to chain the imagination and enchant the taste.— Walks planned with all the delicacy of the most fasti- dious art, are destined to lead through the grounds of this noble mansion, and delight while they invite the wanderer. Fountains, the silver murmurs of whose\wa- ters, vaulting ambitiously to the skies, and sporting in raceful forms inthe circumambient air, will impart a lelicious coolness to the landscape; while parterres of the choicest flowers, sprinkling with beauty the borders of the lake, will fly to kiss theirfreflection in its placid the halls of this new abode, where the Gra- to find their final neeting pisos mus Iharmony, will court the surround- lated pavements of marble will rejoice ure of the tiny foot of beauty twink- Gildin, i in its chambers of repose, furni ian atyle, the garish eye of day, yielding toa more subdued light, will invite to cool and refreshing slumbers— “The doors that know no shrill alarming bell, Self open into Halls, where, who can tell, What elegance and grandeur wide expand, The pride of Turkey and of Persia land.” We shall visit this delightful spot again to-morrow, how and your readers may Seg afarther deacript auties. We will merely say at present tha- the princely palace now erecting, will be finished for next season, and is intended solely and exclusively for ie benefit of the select and intelligent few, who wish a quiet, elegant, and retired place of sojourn during the hot months of summer. No parvenues will be allowed to enter, and disgust the eye of taste by their shallow, conceited coxcombry. The vulgar and aping crowd will find no opportunity to profane this sanctuary—but ease and refinement—beauty and loveliness—wit and gaity, will here seek a fitting temple, far from the busy haunts of affectation and ignorance. We have two very curious and inte! ing specimens of humanity stopping at the United States, in the per- vens of the renowned and chivalrous Colonel Webb, of e “regular ‘ho has been rusticating for sot time past at Caledonia Spa, Canada West, and his no le: illustrious particular friend, Fourierite, politician, philo- sopher and editor, the immortal Horace Greeley. it is among the most amusing things in the world, to see these two “shining ornaments” of society—fellow laborers, as they are, in the same cause—enter the draw- ing room by separate doors. Both seem anxious to spread their particular views on matters and things in general, and may be found earnestly conversing with their friends = the present “ disorganised and immoral state of so- ciety. ye What can the mighty difference be ‘Twixt tweedle dum and tweedle de The only difference we have heard of as yet, is a report that Horace is writing a tre: on bran-bread and dust-pudding; while the Colonel is taking le: “shooting gallery;” both, however, have ti ject in view. The weather here is most delightful—cool Peet and evenings, and a host of fashionables arriv- ing daily. Latest From Detaware County.—Deuunt, Aug. 23, 1842.—The work goes bravely on. In addition to the six prisoners mentioned in my last, as having been pe iy in yesterday, deputy sheriff Preston brought in another from Roxbury, Allan McKane ; and last eveninj a detachment of five men from Corbin’s posse, under Col. Wheeler, arrived with five more, viz. : Hosea Jenkins, E. Vermilyea, Darius Robinson, William Tompkins, (brother of the constable and collector, now in the state prison) and Solomon Beemon. ‘The last named was dis- charged this morning. John Whitson, Jr., was brought before the Justice to-day for examination, and committed to answer the charge of murder, on his own confession. Richard Morse, Esq. , the Justice from Andes, was to- day admitted to bail in the sum of $1500. Some interesting facts were drawn out on the exami- nation last evening of Dr. Alabun, as to the organization of “Indian associations,” &c. &c. He mentioned one having between 700 and 800 members, mostly from two towns in this county, although some were from Greene and Ulster counties, A prisoner who had taken the oath of secresy member of one of these associations, was to-day e: ined before the Coroner, and refused to ans: ” under Deputy sheriff arrest of some 25 or sions) was drawn this day, and it isone from which faithful and fearle: Rare do of duty may be expected.

To have a clear impression of the extent and ca- pacity ef this important establishment, it is alto- gether necessary to walk over it, and examine its various departments and its internal arrangements. The engraving at the head of this article conveys a good idea of its external appearance, but although this is attractive, it only serves to do justice to the outside—the material of the building, to the neglect of the better part—the mechanical skill—the enter- prise—the intellect engaged in realizing the objects to which it is dedicated. In the first place, let us observe that, as seen in the engraving, it is five stories high, has a front of 25 feet on Fulton street, and extends rearward on Nassau street 70 feet. Its site is one of the most ad- murable, for its contiguity to the Post Office, the Ex- change, the City Hall, the wharves, hotels, courts of justice, and every centre of resort and source of news. A constant stream of passengers are on the move by the two leading thoroughfares which here cross each other, attracted as much, perhaps by the chance of hearing something new by purchasing the last Herald, as by their ordinary business. Besides the five stories mentioned, there isa base- ment floor of equal extent with the others, and de: cated to a very important purpose. This flat is di- vided into three apartments. The middle section is the press room, where the Daily and Weekly Herald is printed. This room occupies, perhaps, three-fourths of the whole space contained in this basement sto- ry. On the front is the mail room, where the papers are received, directed and made up, to be forwarded to all the §points of the compass. The rear section is the paper room. Here is always stored a supply of paper large in proportion to the vast consumption of the journal, and here it is prepared for the press. Below this room isa subterranean apartment oc- cupied as the boiler and furnace rooms, while under the mail and press rooms a_ similar but larger space on thesame level is used as an emporium for fuel for the whole establishment. In addition to all this under ground room, there isa space about five feet wide excavated from the street which runs parallel to the whole length of the building, from front to rear, covered over with iron grating, and communi- cating by a door with the press room. This not only admits a current of cool and refreshing air to yentilate the under stories and reduce their neces- | eu | HAA Me il HS MH ll || | + ni La | il i Hi I Hi) Hl fs HT i | 4 : 1 Mu sarily increased temperature from steam, butis a quiet and secluded spot, where the Herald carrieis assemble at the peep of dawn to make the metaphy- sical and abstruse calculations necessary to the ac- curate fulfilment of their diurnal duties in supplying the citywiththe Herald. Here they receive their papers, and from this spot they start with all the regularity of London mail coaches from the gene- ral post oflice. After aseending a few steps, we are in Fulton street, and close by the front entrance of the pub- lishing room. We enter and find an apartment nearly square, well lighted, and finely situated Here the subscriptions, moneys, accounts, and com munications, are received; and here may be found at all times within business hours, the cashier, book- keeper, collector, and subordinate clerks, each of whom has his own share of the inside and outside business of the journal to transact. This room, not occupying all the flat, the rear portion is occupied by the office of the New York Medical College, a passage to the interior and upper floors of the build- ing, and by two stores—one that of a bookseller, and another a fancy tailoring establishment.— Around this is always a stir of newsboys, who are indefatigable in looking out for news late edi- tions, and of passers-by and casual visitors, who never ean resist the temptation of looking at the Herald bulletin, which adorns the exterior angle of the building, and strikes the eye from any point of the surrounding are of 250 degrees of a circle. The editorial room is situated on the second flat, and approached by a flight of steps from Nassau street. This important department covers all this flat, with the library which 1s on the hinder section C Varieties. The salary of the Governor of Florida has been fixed at $1200 per annum, with a Secretary whose salary wn at $500. ‘The Secretary of State is to receive ; the Comptroller $800, and the Attorney General $500 and fees. Themembers of the Legislature are to be paid $3 per diem and 10 cents mileage. The Legis- lature after doing thus much, adjourned about the 4th instant. No less than twenty potatoe starch factories are in progress of building in the county of Franklin, says the Recorder—more than fifty tons of starch was made at the factory of Abiel Abbott, Esq., farmington, the last winter. We hear also that a number of starch fac- tories are going up in the western part ofthe State. _ Ina case before the Court of Common Pleas in Boston, Judge Wells ruled that orders payable in goods, must be paid in such goods at fair cash prices, and not at “six months prices,” as contended by the defendants. Verdict accordingly. ‘An appeal was taken to the Su- preme Court. The number of slavesin the world may be esti- mated as follows, in the following countries 2,600,000; United States, 2,600,000; Spat 800,000; ‘French Colonies, 250,000; Dutch, Danish ai Swedish Colonies, 100,000; South American Republics, 400,000, ‘Total, 6,659,000.

A lady who was enjoving a comfortable nap, fell from her seat against the aoor of the pew, which being unfastened, she was precipitated into the aisle. Three gentlemen, (supposing she had fallen in a fit,) immediate- ly sprang towards her and taking her in their arms, car. ried her by main strength from the house; she was, of course, wide awake, and probably sufficiently mortified to prevents her from sleeping in church again for a month, —Worcester Transcript. A spacious Hotel is to be erected in Concord, Mass., upon the site of the ‘Miiddlesex House,” which was destroyed by fire in June last. ‘The foundation is laid, and the workmen are busy in getting it along.

On the front, four spacious apartments are connected, so us to appear like one, while they can at pleasure be separated by folding doors. Here are seats for the gentlemen in charge of distinct de- partments of the Herald, as well as accommodation for the numerous and famous corps of reporters at- tached to the Herald, in all over twelve beside the editor himself. The library is well supplied with popular and standard works of the most useful de- seription for reference—an_ indispensible adjunct to toa wellorganized establishment. On the next floor is the book printing rooms. ‘The compositors room is placed in front, and employs half a score of hands occasionally, and seven con- stantly. In the centre is a chamber used to pre- serve on file the voluminous newspaper publications which it is desirable to keep—both American and foreign. The press room is the next farther back, and contains the requisite accommodatien for exe- cuting this part of the work. The fourth story is the job printing department, presided over by 4 foreman of skill and intelligence, such being indispensible to the great amount of work done here. At present all the theatrical bills for all the New York theatres are printed here, ex- cept for one or two called the cheap and nasties, which would not be treated with at the Herald es- tablishment—such small affairs being lett to the hungry and starved journals which cannot get along without such employment. There are ten hands employed in this department. ‘There are in all six working presses here of the well known manufac- ture of Hoe & Co., viz: 1 super royal, 1 double su- per royal, 1 medium, 1 double medium, 1 foolscap, and one hydraulic press of high power, All these are located in the back room—the remaining space in front being occupied by the compositors. Another ascent of a dozen ateps brings us to the Herald printing room. Jt is spread over the entire floor, and is capable of containing fifty compositors at work. Its arrangement affords great facility for the despatch of business, and in this is adapted to the accomplishment of the surprizing feats done by the Herald in printing news far in advance of all competitors. One complete longitudinal section of this floor is taken up by the compositors’ desks, the other by the tables, forms and desks, necessary as appurtenances, ‘Twenty men are daily employed here. One hundred gaslights illuminate it at night, and windows in proportion by day. There is a good supply of water on this flat, and a command- ing view of the city towards the south, a part of Long Island, the bay, &c.. As a specimen of the Herculean tasks in the printing line done here, we may observe, that by the arrival of the Washington mail, bringing some interesting political intelligence, thirteen columns have been received at midnight, and appeared in next day’s Herald. In one double daily sheet, there has been not unfrequently as much matter set up inside of one working day, as would make a book of 350 octavo pages of ordinary print. Sportine Inpetuigence.—The Charleston, Mer- cury of the 19th inst. says:—“Our sporting friends will doubtless be gratifled to learn, that the note of pre- paration is sounding for the next Southern campaign, in the racing region of our State. Several stables have been made up, and walking exercise commenced. Col Hampton’s string at Milwood, near Columbia, is unusu- ally long and uncommonly formidable. It consists of Herald, six years old, Sally Morgan, six, and Castanet, four, These three are all celebrated, having been dis- tinguished by their several performances on the turf— also, a bay filly, four years old, by Monarch, out of Ellen Perey, by Godolphin; a bay filly, 3 years, by Menarch, out of Kitty Heath—a chesnut filly, 3 years, by Boston’ out of imported Emily, and a grey filly, 3 years, own sister of Gamma. We understand the above are all moving fi and Stuart is calculating with confidence upon Herald's ability to stand his training well, and | eclipse his more youthful achievements. There never was a doubt in our own mind, had the circumstances of the great Peytona stakes been reversed; had Peytona been co apelled to travel instead of Herald, subject to all the changes and chances incident toa long journey, change of water, food, &c., what the result of that race would have been. Whilst at the North they are specu: | lating upon the degree of excitement to be produced by amatch between Boston and Wagner—we know of ne event more likely to draw together the genuine friends of the turf, than a contest between Peytona and Herald; over our own course next February. We should think | this could very easily be brought about. Peytona is in Virginia, and must return home at the end of the racing season atthe North.

On the Hartford and Springfield road, (25 miles in length,) belonging to the Hartford and New Haven Railroad Corporation, a “smashing” business is being done. Four trains run up and down this road daily. It is built ina superior manner to even the Westera. And the new cars on this road eclipse those of all other roads, to my certain and experimental knowledge. Each train carries from 150 to 200 pas sengers, and often more. We will suppose they car- ry 150, which makes only two car loads, whilst three car loads is about the average—this would give them 180) passengers during the week—as there is no Sunday train.

Tt has ‘n in operation only about nine months,and they have thus tar been carrying double the number of passengers, that this Director said would be carried in the third year, and for which large statement he was considered almost wild !— ‘This part of the road has been the means of increa- ng the receipts of the Corporation from MO to 150 “rcent, whilst the ¢ es of running aud keep- | log the road in repair, have not been increased In proportion. The fare for the 25 miles between this | city and Soringtield is 75 cents,whilst between Mart- ford and New Haven, a distance of 35 miles, it is $150 !—and yet it is only 10 miles longer. The ex- int ture on this road is probably charged for shaking off the gout from those persons who may ride over the same. But seriously, the fare, is out- | rayeousty high—it is equal to the old stage fare be- tween Ilartford and New Haven.

Merchants i city, as well as New Haven, are also generally ben efitted thereby; because the manufacturers of the great manufacturing town of Meriden, now visit us often to make purchases and to sell their £0ods, whereas before, their business was done chiefly by correspondence. Gentlemen of the railroad direc- tion, do not stop here in your well begun work, but carry out the same benificent fare between Hartford and New Haven, and you will have, in addition to increased receipts, that of which you are now defi- cient, the good will of the entire public. You are well aware that even the three trains you run over this Feit ib Ee road, are not near so well filled (not much over half) as the four trains you run hence to Springfield. Gentlemen, the fare is too high. With the fact before the public, of the great increase ot receipts, it is not piste | that the stock of this company has run up from 50 to 95 and 100, and no stock in the market of any account. It is now held by persons for permanent investment. The Western Railroad Company are contempla- ting running a night train through, from Boston to Albany, a la lightning speed, 30 odd miles per hour, at only $2 fare, in competition with the Boston via. New York route to Albany. This line, if put on, will make only four stoppages between the two cities merely to bait and water their iron horses. This wall beyus Davy Crockett would say, “going ahead The fares on this road are onerous, and cause much complaint. A combination between the Norwich, Western, and Springfield roads, in opposition to Buckley’s celebrated line of stages between this city and Nor- wich, carry passengers from Hartford to Norwich, and vice versa for $2, whilst the regular fare be- tween Norwich and Springfield, for a person going thither or westward, is $3 30. Therefore, all per- sons bound from Norwich to Springfield, or farther west, will save $1 30 by purchasing a ticket for Hartlord, and if going on, te buy one at Springfield for their westward destination. This information 1s pro bono fico, and the public will please take due notice thereof, and govern themselves accord- ingly. All persons who desire to go from Norwich to Hartford, or Hartford to Norwich, by paying $2 at the stage office, in eitherjof these two cities, can ride ee a most delightful country in splendid coaches, drawn by four of the best if horses, and careful drivers to neers the same, in about one half less time than is taken by the cars, through the most barren part of Connecticut and Massachusetts. The survey of the New York and Hartford Rail- road, via Danbury and the Harlem Railroad, pro- gresses rapidly, and more than justifies thus far the fare et? of the route, as has been maintained by its friends. {tis more feasible than the average of roads that have been built. Its entire length will be between fifty-five and sixty miles. Between this city and Plymouth, a distance of twenty-five miles, it passes through a portion of the richest lands an largest manufacturing towns in the State; viz.: West Hartford, Farustegions (in which town are several manufacturing villages) Bristol, Plainville. and Ply- mouth, in which latter town the surveyors are now at work. Farmington “mountain” can be passed without any excavation, with the slight grade of sixty feet to the mile. ‘The meadows in that town can be got around at the basin. The Bristol formi- dable uaoe can be very easily surmounted at the north end of the town. From this city to Bristol, sixteen miles, there is a natural valley, formed, in the direct route for the road, by the Farmington river. And from Bristol to Danbury, thirty-nine miles, the Housatonic valley, forms an_ easy, acces- sible grade, also in the direct route. Notwithstand- ing the bluster of our New Haven friends, who are afraid that if this road 1s built their half dozen draw- panes and some thirty other bridges on their con- lea ated New York road, are ‘“demissed.” We shall show that nature intended a railroad should be built between New York and Hartford, via Danbury. So, dear Bennett, look out for the papneers report 5 some four weeks hence. After which, we shall call loud and strong upon you New Yorkers to subscribe liberally to this stock, for the sake of your city, your country, your pockets, and your children’s pockets ; and for the benefit of, and for the despatch in circu- lating throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ver- Canada, and the North Pole, the latest news contained daily in the New York Herald. Hartford, and all the towns on the line of the road, will do their best in taking up the stock, and then we shall look confidently to New York to ‘ foot the bill.” We Hartforders, however, cannot do so well with $200,000 as we could have done prior to your recent great fire, as we have that sum to fork over to New Yorkers en account of that powder explosion. This route will be at least three hours shorter than the present railroad and steam- boat route between New York and Hartford, and, tween Boston, and all the way-stations, to the City Hall and Herald Office in New York. This route is also entirely inland—no Sound _to be crossed—no ferries to be crossed—and no half dozen immensely dangerous drawbridges (aye, not even one) to be Thursday, Friday, and Saturday last, we had se- veral powerful showers, which caused a sort of scalding, suffocating vapor to rise from the yea and heated earth. On Saturday afternoon the most powerful of these thunder storms committed some damage in this city. The lightning struck the large burn in rear of the hotel, 44 Talcott street, killing a valuable race horse, and a sow with her family. The fluid apparently struck the barn in three places, shi- vering thetimbers “like lighning.” There were some fifteen or twenty other, horses in the barn, all unin- | cal Seminary of | e amount of travel between | {larttord and Springfield, stated that as soon us the | in this | N Religious Intelligence.

Dr. Flint; Fatat Occurrence.—An unfortunate affair “oc- curred on the steamer Lynx last Saturday afternoon as she was about to leave the wharf. It appears from the evidence given on the subsequent examination, that during the day Captain John Atchison adeck discharged hand named Kelly, paid him off, and ordered him to go ashore, in consequence of his quarrelling with a passenger. As the boat was about to leave, the captain saw Kelly at the bar, and remarked to himin a mild tone—"I thought I ordered you to go ashore; you have been paid off, and you must go ashore.” The then went forward, Kelly Silanes cursing violent- ly. Kelly was armed with @ pistol, which he cocked, resented to the captain’s breast, and snapped; threaten- his life. The captain struck tter retreated tothe pantry, out by the bar-keeper. The captain continued to order Kelly to go ashore, aud fol; lowed bias witha chee, at Roly cont pao’, to use bois terous la: and resist. en on the w| guards the captain ‘struck at Kelly with a chair, and the blow, h was described by a witness as a light one, was re- ceived by Kelly on his arm. The latter, in retreating, then fell backwards over the on into the river, striking in his descent his head and shoulders on the los guards of the adjoining boat. Kelly sunk imme and was seen no more. After an examination before Justices Butler and Kretschmar, which continued until midnight, Captain Atchison was disch: d.— Missouri Reporter, Aug. 18, Inp1aN River—Irs Prosrects.—The schooner Caroline arrived here on the 6th inst., from Indian i {f the settlers,who are remoying from river with several o! set ore eee ring f cove nothing like a crop of corn, cotton, or o' staple, can be produced ere Itis much to be regretted that emigrants to the Southern Peninsula will waste their money and energies in attempts to cultivate any of the ordinary crops, which experience, for years past, has Shown to be totally ont of the question. We have en deavored, at various times, to set forth the advantages which it has over every other section of our country for the succes! ure of Tropical fruits and Sisal hemp; and if new settlers would but devote their attention to these articles they would reap a certain and profitable reward for their labor. The country will not produce any other staple article profitably—but it will produce these ; for they are to some extent natives of South Flo- ; and they are articles that must ever command a steady price, as the population of our country increases. ‘Theis production not being dependent upon the rains, or the fertility of the soil, but upon the poor land and pati- ent labor of the cultivator, may always be depended upon. The labor required, too, in their cultivation is much lesa than that of any other crop ; and the farmer, with two or three slaves, or other as: its, turning his attention to jured. Also some half dozen other hogs in the pen ‘were uninjored. A staple in the timber through which the fluid passed to the earth was thrown out some two rods on the barn floor. Several persons in dwellings near the barn were very much affected by the shock, nearly falling from their seats The same electric cloud also struck the great bridge, situated some sixty to eighty rods south east of said barn, shivering those massy timbers consi- derably. This shock knovked over N. Lyman, Esq., together with the chair in which he was sit- ting, in his counting room, some ten rods south west of the bridge, were all prostrated by the stun- ning effects of the fluid. ‘the north church was also struck without any damage.
