This may now be set down among thorhief summer resorts in the Northern States, an@ the crowds of visiters, now here, indicate that it is well appreciated by the tra- velling public. Itisa retreat of many years Standing, but not till this season has become especially noted and thronged by the “fair and brave.’ This reputation has been given it by Gept. Albert Degroot, late proprietor of the Prescott, New York, and now of the Heath House, the main hotel here. Karly in the year the Captnin leased these premises, and at onoe set himself to work to add to its at- twactions and its comforts, to prepare it for the entertainment of the fashion and beauty of the Union. His name, associated with the place, was “a tower of strength,” and long before the house opened the greater portion of it was en- waged. There are here at present representations from every quarter--from the North, East, South and West—but the main representation is from New York and Philadelphia. This spotis within a few hours ride from both these cities— trom the former, via the Morris and Essex Rail- road, now in successful operation under its gen- tlemanly superintendent, Mr. Beach Vander- ool, The route is the Philadelphia road from ersey City 10 Newark, then by the Morris aut Hesex to Hackettstown, about two miles dis: tant from the Heath House, with which there is stage communication.

You are doubtless aware of the location of this place; but for the benefit of those who are not, and wae fo lose the sense of whirling streets, Mong breery crests of hills, let me say, that at Chittenango Statiod, a point about forty miles west of Utica. we left the New York Central cars, and took a seat on the outside of a comfo! stage. After a ride of four miles over a fine ik road, we found ourséives at the | door of a plain, but attractive looking hotel, nestled right in the very “ heart of i? The mornings and evenings here are always cool.

In front of the hotel, and between it and the cot- tages, winda the Chittenango creek, where ‘Chance or bunger’s powerful arey Directs the raring trout this fatal way. ‘The hotel stands midway between Cazenovia and Oneida lakes, whose clear and transparent waters abound with pickerel, bass and perch, thereby fur- resi rare advantages to the lovers of this de- | ligbtful sport. i While recounting the advantages and attrastions | here presented, Jet me not forget the Salphur Spring, which bursta forth in its native purity from | the jutting rock, a few feet from the house. from | an analysis of the water, by Doctor Chilton, its } medicinal r eceag are undoubted.

The scenery, for miles | around, is very tine, through which, even to the | most dull, a ride is replete with interest ; and | to the student of nature unfolds new beauties | constantly, full of poetry and inspiration. The amusements of the place are various. ‘Those of steady habits, who have sown their | «wild oats,” ond gone into the “sere and yel- | low’? leaf of life, recline beneath the inviting | shade, sleep, read, and among themselves dis- | ouss the rise and fall of stocks, as the spirit | may move them. The fast men (of this class | there are a very few present, which just now | gives the place a rather serious and quiet tone) | bowl, play billiards, ride, gun, ance; prome- | nade, and enjoy their cocktails to any extent | within the bounds of propriety and good fel- | lowship, bc yond which Capt. Degroot, mindful | of the reputation and comforts of his guests, | will allow none to go. The belles sew, knit | lace, play whist, dress, dance, flirt with the | gallants, while anxious mammas devote most | of their time in keeping watch upon their daughters, to see that the “little dears” are sufficiently reserved, not too encouraging to | the ogling and otherwise conform to all | the rules and regulations of fashion and pro- iety, Every night after tea, the company | ave @ “hop” in the ball room. the band per- | forming till all have drank their fill of pleasure, | and are to sleep and dream. | The Rey, Spencer H.

Every day we behold a mountaineer with a venison astride his horse, any quantity of other meats, and poultry, good butter and milk, and bread, which would astonish New Yorkers from {ts quality, quantity aod variety. In ten days from now the season will be at its height so tell your friends tocome en masse.

Watson then proceeded towards the entrance door, and suddenly turning back, presented a revolver and commenced to fire, apparently at random, among the crowd of persons then in the bar- room.

Metaxcuony Acctvent.—On Sunday after- noon, as the steamer Polynesia was steaming up the bay, a boat put off from shore containing six men, with the intention of boarding her. When about half way from the shore to the steamer, the boat, which was carrying sail, was strack by aheavy flaw and upset. Three of the | men were drowned ; their names were Silas S, | Olvings, of Baltimore; George McMurray, of New York, and the third name unknown. It appears that the boat, being very heavily bal- lasted, caused her to sink fmmetiately. The erew of an English brig anchored in the stream rendered all the assistance in their power, and by strenuous efforts succeeded in saving three of the six.—dita Californian, June 20.

Among the naval it+ms current in this city, is one to the effect that Capt. David G. Farra- gut, U. S. N., has been ordered to the superin- tendenoy of the navy yard projected at San Francisco. Cal. Capt. F. isa highly respected citizen of Norfolk, Va., and has of late years, I believe, been attached to the naval rendezvous and ship of the line Pennaylvan‘a, near that city. He is at present in Washington, and will leave for his new command in August. Dr, Asbe, of North Carolina, a brother of the Hon, Mr. Ashe, of the House, and an intimate person- al friend, as I understand, of Secretary Dob- | bin, has been appointed to the navy agency at San Francisco, This appointment was made regardless of the remonatrances of the entire California delegation in Congress, who prefer- red to have one of their own citizens appointed to that lucrative and responsible place. Mr. Pendleton Colston, a young lawyer of this city, has received the place of navy agent’s clerk at San Francisco—salary $2,500—and left his | heme a few days since to assume his duties, Some of the wire pullers of the “ Know. Nothing”’ party, at the federal capital, are about despatching a corps of sappers and miners | through Virginia, to root out from the old State | the bogus democracy which has so long damped. | her energies, and retarded her commercial pro- gress and independence, and to substitute in lieu thereof the vitalizing influences—as they term it—of Native Americanism. They are secking for strong men as their standard bear- ers, and I should not be surprised if Henry A. Wisé, who has been already prominently men- tioned in connection with the office of Governor by a portion of the democratic press, were to be the native or Know-Nothing candidate for that office, provided they can get him into the traces. He is s hard one to manage, and can- not be swerved for one moment from what he deems right by any consideration of pol- | icy or political preferment. Although I have Jong been an aomirer of this gentteman, aud have watched bis course with unusual inte- rest, still I am not much acquainted with his antecedents on this foreign and Catho- lic question, which has been long enough agi- tated in one form or another, to enlist the sym- | | pathy, pro or con, of almost every prominent | politician. I venture the opinion, however, | that if Wise is the nominee of either the Know | | Nothing or democratic parties, he will go in | with a rush over all opposition. He has more | of the swaviter in modo with the fortiter in re a tower of strength among the people, whose | favorite he is in a peculiar sense. By the way, Gen.

Their anxiety and extreme nervousness may be attributed, doubtless, to their longings after “the succession.” As the session draws to a close, a number of rsons having claims and other matters before gress, may be seen every day lagging around the doors of the House and in the ro- tunda ofthe Capitol.

We think our farmers may ey calculate on get- ting a good price for their wheat crop this year. We have heard of no sales of new wheat in the Richmond market yet. In Fredericksburg and Alexandria a few sales have been quoted at from $1 50 to $1.70 per bushel. The market will soon open bere, however, and our millers will be expected to pay bandsome prices. They will have active competitors in Fredericksburg and Alexandria. of those places have made a pretty bold start, and from the tone in which our cotemporaries there discourse of their respective markets we may ex- pect their merchants and millers to make the most energetic efforts to Pay bi th prices. ‘‘ Little Peters- burg” will not be be if we areto judge from the enterprise and liberality displayed by her merchants oat Year. ‘The competition in the Richmond mar- tap.” New mils bare Goon crested, andthe damand .

We are not aware that any new wheat has been offered in this market ; but our millers should o the market at the most liberal prices they can afford to give. Farmers will not be so y Satisfied this Top 7s ay wee lat, They will hold up for the prices. They will expect, and very Properly, to come in for a fair Leeppli dge) Han speculators are able to make on their crops. The rates of $1 50 | per bushel will bardly be so strong & temptation to | them to sell the present crop as $1 20 was in the | wary Fert shila season. Not a few of them will profit by the lesson they had taught them then, in selling early, and willj take good care to hold back this year to get the highest price the market will command. The great danger now, is that they Mey hold back too much and miss the mark. Two dollars a bushel we think wonld be a very safe sale, and we would suggest to our millers to put up the price at once to that notch. From the accounts we have of the crop of this country it appears that the yield will be an average one. Jn places it has been very inuch injured by the joint worm and fly, particularly in this State; bit throughout the whole country the accounts are such as to favor the belief that a tolerable abundant | crop will be made. From foreign gountries we haveas yet no very reliabls accounts of the condi- tion of the crops. Our foreign papers give us fiat- tering reports. It is their policy to do so; and in | the meantime it will be borne in mind that th ield depends almost entirely upon the season be® ween this and their harvest time, whatever may be- the prospect now. There is no substantial grounit for believing that the European war will be brought to f | aspeedy termination, and we think we are fully | sustained in the opinion that from present indi | tions the Pee of wheat ought not to fall short of $2 per bushel in our markets ‘uring this season. t Exorement iN Hien Lire.—We understand that an affa'r came off last night, in which the lady of one of our most prominent merchants, becoming tiredof her liege lord, sought the company of a favored swain, and together they proceeded to en- yy the pleasures of a ride down the road.

It is one of the boldest deeds of villainy that has been yerpetraied, of late,in Obio. We have hproating: rough the country a set of blacklegs and robbers that deserve to be [ynched. Look out for them :— “We learn that onlast evening the house of Mr. Abernathy, an old Sager residing in Coldrain township, near Adelpha, in thiscounty, was entered by three ruffians, who seized and tied the old man fistin bed, The old Jady was very decrepid, and the only remaining person about the house was a widowed granddaughter. One of the villains took ber by the throat, and threatened her life if she did not tell where their money was secreted. She con- fersed the place where two or three hundred dollars belonging to her was hid. They took this, anda certificate of deposit on the Valley Bank for some hundred or more, and robbed the old maa of all he had, which Ss said to have been between six and eeven thousand dollars. Mr. Abernathy was known to be a manof money, and it was said kept mach — about his house. ag : a Agee e. No suspicions as perpetrators o! Gerrixg Marrimp rs Consnoricct.—After the lst of January next, the publishing of the bans of marriage in church is to be Gupeneed with, and parties contemplating ‘committing matrimony,” must procure, from the town registrar, a certificate that they have farnished him with their names, age, birth-place, and residence, before that event can solemnized. This, we think, is a great im- provement. The present method answers no good ore, for if parties ara disposed. to be married, in Oj ition to the will ot friends, they will see thet they are published where such friends will not be likely to hear of it, or perhaps co to a neighbor- ing State, where they can be married without bein, published at all.

THE WHIG PARTY DISBANDED IN INDIANA. (From the Washington Sentinel.) A convention consisting of the odds and ends of rpetulty and ue to repose | all parties in Indiana, was held at Indianapolis on Thursday, the 13th instant. Ex Governor Bebb, formerly of Ohio, but now of Illinois, was present, and made a speech in which ke opposed the Nebraska bill, and “expressed it as his opinion that Thomas H. Benton or some other good anti-Webraska man would be the next President. He said no man in favor of that measure could by any poaany be elected to either House of Congress from the free States.” Henry L. Ellsworth, afree soiler of 1848, Schuyler Colifax, a free soil whig of the Greeley school, who wishes to oppose Dr. Eddy for Congress; Julian, the free soil candidate for Vice President in 1852; Heary 8. Lane, ex-whig Congressman; Judge Wright, of Logansport, a free soller of 1848; Jacob P. Chap- man, a disappointed office-seeker and independent candidate for Congress in the Indi is cict, of the Van Buren school and of a1 xas resola- tion memory; Reuben Riley, 9 Maine temperance advocate and Ganapeinten office-seeker, repudiated by the democrats of his own county in 1850 for the constitutional convention; M.

Authentic ag with Regard to Kan- The communication under the head of “Kansas Terrttory” sets forth the result of the writer’s per- sonal observations. It is from the pen of Dr. D. 0. Williams, of this county, whose reputation as a shrewd, intelligent, reliable, and eminently practi- cal man, extends over the State. He is one of our largest slaveholders, and is thus prompted both by peogpe and by considerations of self-interest to eel a lively concern in whatever relates to the fa- ture of the South. We make thns free with his name, because his observations are of sufficient ublic importan:e to justify it. While he would ob- t to seeing it paraded before the public without cause, we do not believe he would desire it to be withheld when necessary to give force and command ee for important facts. will be seen that Dr. Williams states that Kan- sas is secure for the South beyond all contingencies. “ There remains,” says he, ‘‘ no doubt but that Kaa- sas has already made a beginning which ensures it a slave State.” The climate, soil and luctions of the Territory are eminently adapted slavery, | [re the slaveholders of Missouri and the adjoining ites are taking, or have taken, the necessary steps to fix its condition. Our rs will recollect the facta relating to Kensas, which we spread before them a few weeka since, derived from various sources, and that we concluded an article on the subject with this language :—“‘ Our firm belief is that if the a le will be as true to them- selves a3 their representatives in Congress have been, or as the northern democrats, who, in the late struggle, defied the storm of fanaticism and tore away the anti-slavery restriction of thirty- four years standing—slavery will exist perma: in Kansas, and before many years her influence be felt in the restoration of Nat the North and South in the Leglalatare.’ This is now confirmed into as absolute a e as anything in the future can be. The re- peal of the law asserting for Congress the power to eo slavery in the Territories—and fg ay , Saying to the people of the South, thus far thou shall go and no er—was, of itself, a triumph for ‘whieh the South may well congratniate herself; but still greater will be the cause for grati- ficatton when one of the fruits of the righteous act is the addition of another slave State, and the extension of her institutions far away into the West.—Jackson Mississippian, July 11. A Row—Tur Know Nornines ve. THE [nvsH.— ‘ite a little row took place about 11 o'clock on i Faivecaay night, at Lee’s saloon, corner of North Clark and Kinzie streets. It appears that a fours man, named Jimmy Walker, porter at the Foster house, was intending to leave on the following "i for Cleveland, and accordingly invited a few of the “ boys” at the hotel to go over to the saloon with him. Arriving there, the party seated themselves at a table and called for refreshments. Two of them, Walker and a young man, named Henry Sphor (watchman at the r House), wore low-crowned white felt hats, with black ri bon on them, or what are said to be “ Kaow Noth- ing hats.” On taking his seat at the table, Walker (exercising his right as a customer) requested the hiish waiter to wipe off the table, and bring in some tefresbments. The waiter replied that the table was clean enouzh for a epmeia like him; and on that 91 sundry words pa: between the two, when the Irish lad called in several of his kindred, who pitched on to Walker, using their fists and knives freely. Jimmy was badly sat in three different places about the head—was robbed of $50, which he hed in his Pagan but was finally rescued and taken to the sidewalk in front of the Foster House, where he wes left, faint from the loas of Walker taken fo his foom, and a poyallan prompay Valker taken to his room,anda promptly called, who dressed his wounds, and pronouuced him not fatally injured. The watchmen arrested at the saloon a fellow, named James Nichols, also young Spohr, the friend of Walker, who was in the crow, but ia represented as hay taken no part inthe fight, other than to shield if, He was knocked down at the commencement of the row, and robbed of bis watch, which was afterwards found in the gutter. An Irishman, name! McCune, believed to a bar tender, is said to have been ose of the principal assailants, but he has not yet been found.
