Quite a period of time has elapsed since you have been favored with a missive from this city of water-wheels, flouring-mills, macadamised roads, and lively business enterprize. Our citizens were thrown into the most pleasurable excitement at your wonderful success in so completely routing and van- quishing the “Holy Alliance,” (for their boasted superi- ority of strength had reached this quarter), in your re cent triumph of expressing the Cambria’s news s0 very far in advance of their unholy combination to defeat you in your vigilance and watchfulness. Itdoes seem that, whenever you apply your energies to any given object, ‘‘ assurance is made doubly sure,” and your success is rendered certain.

As you keep us acquainted with matiers and things everywhere else, it is only fair that you should hear from us occasionally, Our winter up to the present time has been quite spring-like, the mercury having fallen only to 17 deg. during the month ; though at one time, in December, it was 12 deg. below zero. This is pretty well in a country wht almost every winterthe mercury freezes. Thus far we have not had snow enough to cever the ground, but the sleighing on the Mississippi and St. Peters has been per- fect, and afforded us, in the absence of hunting and fish- ing, abundant amusement. Our military affairs are in excellent condition, and though we have no one to Backus, yet with our gallant Mejor D—n to lead us, we could put ten thousand In- dians to flight. Though we have lost our Carpenters yet we doubt not the quarters will be rebuilt in a work- manlike manner, as we have a Plummer left to superin- tendt! erection, aod a plenty of Weod.

A Running Account—New Mills. Thus far on my journey to the East, I remain in this delightful New England village a few days, to recruit up a little. Thistown is thirty miles north- east of Boston, and has one of the most capacious harbors on the whole Atlantic seaboard; the entire United States navy could ride safely at anchor inside of Ten Pound Island. At 5 P.M. yesterday, the British steam ship Cambria passed the Cape, and ere this reaches New York, she will be safe to her moorings at Halifax. A large and elegant hotel is building on the plan of the Tremont, to accommodate our Southern friends during the summer season; it is leased to Evan Niles, Eeq., for- merly bookkeeper of the St. Charles, New Orleans. The hotel is built by Sidney Mason, Re Bete of your city, for- merly of this town.
