ERESTING HOME LETTERS. The Watering Pinces. OUR FASHIONABLE CORRESPONDENCE. Uniten Staves Horgn, Sanatooa Seainas, g August 17, 1851. Fushionable Life at Saratoga—No Cliques—Dis- tinguished Visiters— The Grand Ball of the Setsom —Morneng Hops--The Samer New World. ‘The searon has now reached its highest point, and Saratoga is in fuli bloom. Fashion, and beauty, and wealth, wito modest worth, aro thrown together, a* usual, into one vast mass, which requires no li:tle «kill to separate. There is not so much display here at present as there bas boen on some former oceasions, but the same material is on hand, and it arg something in favor of tho good sense of our ors that the butterflies of fashion, who used to fit about, and give color to everything bere, have no longer an ascendancy We have now no ruling eliques—no drawingroom dictati 0 shameless impudence of braialess fops. These things seem to be happily changed, and we have now a most respectable company, observing all the proprietics of life, and careful to demean themselves so as to avoid a notoriety, which, in former years, was courted by the leaders of fon at Saratoga. The United States Hotel never had a list of more roally respectable guests than it has at present. Among the names of the residents here I observe —Hon. Keverdy Johason, and fami, Senator Archer, of Senators Sumuer, Stock ton, Douglase; Mr. >lideli, ex-Minister to Mexizo; J. S. Schooleraft, M. C., of Albany; Captain Ritchie, U.S. N , and daughter; Goo. W. Bu: ham, and lady; E. J. MeCull, andfamily, of N.O Robert Mackay, of Savaanah; William Le Kt New York; P. A. Jay, and lady, Weshingto.

A glance wat these names will serve tc show about how the company at this hotel is made up. We have a ball, or a concert, or some other mode of rocrea- tien, every evening. On coneeny night Signora 4 se, assi by Signors Forti, Hosi, and Wel ave a concert, which was well attended, and which gave perfect satisfaction. To-pight a benefit bali is to be given to Mons. Korponay, who has been teaching the polka here, but who has met with such ill success that his friends have hit upon this mode of making up his losses. Mons. K. has a great many friends, but, somehow or other, pupils were not plentiful this season. ‘The grand ball of the season is to come off at the United States Hotel, on Friday evening noxt. It is decided that the ball shall be a grand dress affair, but not a dalcostume. The preliminary meeting to wake arrangements, appoint committees, ete., will be held to-day or to-morrow. It was said that a costume ball would be given at Congress Hall sometime di the present week, but on tho- roughly canvassing the matter, the boarders there came to the conclusion that it was too late to un- dertake such an en‘erprise for this season. Many of the young men have already made their arrange- ments to leave at an early day, as business engage; sments in the cities call for their presence. So it is now reported that no costume bail will be given at Congress Hall. ‘This will disapp int some of your readers, who are fond of these tancy balls, and who bad determined to come up here whenever the cos- tumes were ready for them. They must wait a bit. Morning hops are now give. at the hotels near the ring. One of them came off this morning at Congress Hall, and was well attended. ‘The United States Hotel, is, as usual, the grand centre of fashion. The house is crowded in every part, and avery large number of boarders aro colonized in the small hotels and private houses of the village. ‘The Messrs.

A very large number of participants are already engaged, and it cannot but be a grand affair. Thave hardly yet gotcen the rua cf passing events here.

She is really a palace, but the chief. pont of excellence p* A? by the New Werld, is the ital arrangements of the break- fast and dinin; loon. Passengers on board this steamer do not sit at table de hote, but are furnished with separate tables, and have their meals served hot from the kitehen, with the privilege of choosing what they like from an ample bill of fare. Capt. Acker bas been so long on the Hudson river, that he has learned the wants of travellers by that route. He is really o wi commander for such a craft as the New World; he is polite aedacmmmea ee and his officers are of the same school with himself. “We had a very large list of arrivals oa wooed night.

Korponay--Meding of Hotd Proprictors—-Game Dinner at the Lake--Prepara- tions for the Grand Ball. ‘The Korponay benefit ball was given at this hotel last evening, and, contrary to the expectations of many, was perfectly successful. When the ball was first spoken of, it was strenuously opposed by the parlor dancers, because it would interfere with the informal hop which takes place four evenings in the week. They said that a regular ball night, (Tuesday or Friday,) should have been selected for the benefit, if a benefit must be given, and so an endeavor was made to talk down the enterprise; but Korponay’s friends insisted on the ball, and pressed it on to consummation. The company as- sembled at the usual hour, about ten o'clock, and kept ntly augmenting till half-past . Me Fo L.

All who were present agree that the ball and the impromptu meeting were both capital affairs—the more agree- able, perhaps, beeause they were not meditased. ‘There was quite a convocation of hotel proprie- tors here yesterday. Among them were [1 Loomis, formerly of the Xan Souci House, Balston Spa, Chester Jennings, formerly of the City Hotel, NY., ard Daniel D. Ho vard, of the Irving House. Messrs.

Camp Mecting Excursion—Heat. Dust, and Rain— A Storm on the Camp Ground—A Case of Som namlulicomn—Evports and Imports, §c. Yesterday one of The great camp mooting Sundays in this vieinity of the country, and about twonty car-loads of saints and sinners left the Cul- vertatation for the Parkton camp ground, which is located about thirty miles from the city, where ten thousand persons were assembled, fuil ono half of whom werg Laltimorgans. Tho heay was excosive, in passing through clouds of dust, over one of the roughest roads in Maryland, in open wagons, the pilgrims suffered all the tortures of purgatory before they reached the ground, where they found but little diminution in either hoat or dust. At threo o'clock in the afternoon a boavy rain, accompanied with thunder and lightaing, commenced to fal!, causing a general rush to tho tents; all of which were fitled to overflowing, aud those which had not board floors were thoroughly drenched. ‘The rain continued for more thin aa hour, and all the miseries of » sturm on the camp ground were experienced, to the fuliest extent.— About one thousand persons were, also, a t time of the svorm, in open wagons and vehicles o: all denavietions, onthe road back to the railroad, thoroughly couted with dust and drenched with rain, waking all kinds of vows never to be csugat in such a serape again. A dreadful accident occured at the Lelsterstova camp ground, last weos, whivh will, doubiless, re- sultim the death of a little son of Mr. Horace Chenowit! jout fire years of age. Ho was standing near a horse, which kisked him on tue bead, seriously fraccuring his skull. One of our wealthy young citizens, on his way home from his club room, on Sunday night, sat down ona dd marbie step, and, thinking that he bad arrived in his bed room, took off bis clota- ing and hung them oa the rai but, fiading the marble rather cool, started home, perfectly nude, for more bed clothes. Oa reaching home, he turned into bed, and about an hour afterwards was roused up by the watchman, who had found his name on the pants, to know whether he had been murdered. He had no remembrance as to how the clothes gotthere, but remarked that he was aiilicted with somrambulism. Another version of the story is, that he made his escape from a chamber in the cinity rather precipitately, and that the clot was thrown out of she window, but that he di stop to secure it. ‘The foreign exports from the port of Baltimore, the past week, have been unusually large, emount ing in t egate to $557,849. “Inciuded in this amount are the cargocs of shi for San Francisco, valucd at $176,160, and Susan L.

The American Scientific Association—Its Constitu- tion and Object—-The Empire Steamer—-Toe Weather— Congress Hali—Jenny Lini’s Auto- graph, &c. ‘The annual expositions of the results of the re- search of the American Scientific Association are naturally most angiously looked for by all who have a soul for science, or a mind capable of appreciating the study of that genius which gives birth to new knowledge of the phenomena of nature, and enables man tolimit and control its energies. Thus it will ever be that with the arts and sciences great anxiety must pervade the human species, whiist it falls to the lot of but an honored few to add new facts and new principles to our present system of science, and amongst those few may be justly ranked the ma- jority of the professors of this asseciation. Under the new organization of this institution. which commenced a3 a society of geologists, Pro- fcasor W. C. Redfield was the first President; Profeesor Henry, of the Smithsonian Institution, the second; Professor Bache, Superintendoat of the Coast Survey, the third and now retiring Pre- sident; and Professor Agassiz is the President elect. Amongst the other prominent members are Pro- fessors Rogers (four brothers), Pierce, Silliman, 3 r.), Loomis, Olmsted, Guyot, nd b Ws vga. Wilkes, Dr Observato: ington; Capt. es; Dr. Hare, Philsdelphia; Lisut. Davis, director of the American Almazac; and others, whose names | ¢annot now remembor. The object of the American Association for the promotion of science is, as its name imparts, the discovery of new principles with reference to the operations of nature. The man of science does not stop to enquire whether his discoveries can be a plicd togny specific purpose in the arts; it is sutli- vient for hie t they ar w truths belonging to nature, and he leaves to others of less elevated aim their application to the wants of life. There isa difference between a discovery aud an invention; one discovery may involve a thousand inventions— the first consists of the elopement of a new principle of nature—the second of an applic ion of scientific principles to some purposes in the arts The discoverer is generally actuated by the love of truth and of reputation; the iaventor is stimulated by the love of gain. In this country, invention is rewarded by the peculiar privileges of the Patent law; but there is no public stimulant to facilitate original discoveries, and hence the importance of an association of this kiud for mutual encouragement, and for free discussion. The American Scieatitic Association, under its present form, has three an- naal and two semi-annual meetings, and has been constantly increasing in interest and influence. The American Association for the advancement ofscience has been growing from year to year, since its tion in 1843, in numbers and im- ance. meeting now holding here is the ‘h annual meeting of this association and the sixth meeting; the previous meetings fave been beld in Philadelphia, Cambridge, Charleston, New Haven and Cincinnati, Tho number of members now ixcluded is seven hundred, of which, about one hundred to one hundred and fifty annually attend at any Row place CA ee and the Logan of successive meetings being #0 arranged as to accom- modate the scientific men of different pasts of the country in town. The of the present year is under the presidency of Professor Agassiz, the distinguished naturalist, fessor of natural history in the Law- renee Scientific School of Cananfalgs. ‘The local committees made, of which Dr T. RK. Peck, of Albany, is chairman, have mado ¢xcellent arrangements for the accommodation of the mom- bers, and for the business of the association.

Axaayy, Aagust 19, 1351 Moe Antivent Outrages— The Public Ojicers Accountable fur tiem. ‘There are nova more lawless, dering, and ruth- loss body of men existing in any civilized comnu- nity than the anti-renters residing within tea miles of tho capital of this State. Ssarcely a week passes but we hear of outrages of thy most shams- ful character committed by them. Oalya few weeks since two public officers were so villanously treated, that the Governor offered a reward of four hundred dollars for the apprehension of the perps- trators. It was stated in the Herald, atthe time, that scarcely any reward which might be offered | would induce either of the vagabonds to expose another. This has proved true; and now there is av attempt being made, by the police in this city, to bring forth witnesses, in order to identify those who molested the officers. Soveral were examined this morning, and, as expected, nothing was elicited whereby the offenders could be arrested and brought to punishment. The county offizers here are all elected by the anti-ronters. The very public officers, who are bound by their oaths to preserve the public peace, to seo that the laws are executed, and to bring offenders to justice, remaia quiet, inactive, and unconcerned, whilst those anti rent devils are daily defying the supremacy of the jaws, and openly molest, injure, maim, tar and feather subordinate publio officers, for undertak- ing toperform duties which the laws impose. Among other outrageous acts, monthly perpo- trated, was one committed in the town of Berlin, in Rensselaer county, some ten miles out of this city. On Saturday, at ‘d of night, a numbor of anti- renters, disguised as Indians, forcib'y burst open the door of the dwelling of Mr. Hiram Shaw, a jus- tice of the peace, drug; him from his bed, carried him five or six miles from his home, beat and bruised him in a most inhuman manner, tarred and feathered him and then left him, with scarcely apreath ef life. He must have perished before morning, had not two of the desperadoes become conssience stricken, returned to the wood where he lay groaning under the blows inflicted upon him, and raised him up, placed him in a wagon, and re- turned with him to his owa house, from which they had forcibly drag; him some three hours before. Mr. Shaw states that he became obnoxious to these merciless savages in consequence of having issued some minor precepts at the request of the agents of Mr, Van Renseelaer. ‘The public authorities here are entirely too re- miss in the performance of their duty. These anti- renters should be ferreted out; tho (rovernor should do something more than issue paper proclamations. He should, regardless of all expease, station an armed force in the valleys and mountains where these miscreants reside, and arrest the first one of them seen in disguise. Let them be severely dealt with and no mersy shown them, and an example or two would teach the others that themselves, as well as other well disposed citizens, must submit to the laws of the State. Because a justice of the psace, as in duty bound, issues a precept against one of these reckless vagabonds, he is to bo «ragged from his home and family in the dead of night, used liked a criminal, and treated worse than a brute!

They are criminal acts, and the of- fenders should be convicted as for any other crime. But governors, judges, sheriffs, and district attor- neys, the public prosecuting officers, are annually elected by the votes of these scoundrels, and owe their places to them. ‘They all want the anti-rent vote, and fear their power. Our Washington Correspondence. Wasuinetox, August 19, 1351, The Gubernatorial Contests in Georgic—Another Blow at the Union Party—The Gardner Claim, §¢. Letters have just been received from Georgia, from compromise men, in which they express the fear that Howell Cobb, their candidate, will be do- feated by his opponent for the office of Governor, General McDonald. Two months ago his pros- pects were bright and flattering, but the entrance ofthe Fillmore whigs of New York into Governor Seward’s house, through the back door, has dia gusted the Union men of Georgia, and led them to believe that the great Castle Garden Union out- shoot wasa mere meteor, intended t> dazzle and blind but for the moment. We now find that the Union party is entirely swept away, and that the South will be less inclined than ever to credit more Northern professions. The fact is, there has been too much humbug practised by hunker politicians ; ard the people, apart from them, must be looked to in the hour of trial, to sustain the coastitution. It is well known that Howell Cobb sustains the compromise measures of the last Congress, and that Governor McDonald opposes them. However, the latter is opposed to separate secession by the State of South Carolina ; but, on a recent occasion, he raid, ‘a large number of people in other States, who think with Carolina, that the wrongs of the government are scarcely endurable, are unwilling to resort to so strong a measure of resistance. Is it not a matter well worthy to be considered by South Carolina, whether it is not best to defer to the opinions of her sister States, equally ag as, with herself, and whose sympashy and not proceed, separately and measure of at least questionable If the hopes of other States and the Government returns to a due respect for the rights of the South, anda faithful adminis- tration of tho constitution, I most respectfully ask if it is not better to remain as we are, a united peo- Ri so, decidedly ; forall we wantis a jaithful administration of the constitution.

If made against the con- stitutional rights of our people, we shall be as one man, in any measure necessary to the safety and hay ees of all having a common interest.” This is wand on which not only General McDonald, but all the Southerners stand. It is understood in this city that Governor Letcher, our Mivister to Mexico, will shortly return to that country, and that he will leave Norfolk in the Saranac, on the 22d inst.
