Tho depth of the swater varies according to the tide; at ebb tide it is not more than three feet deep, but at flood tide it ie over a person’shead. It is decidedly the best place I bave ever seon for persons to Iearnand to perfect themselves in swimming. ters have heretofore contented themselves this state of things, with an occasional wish that they might have surf bathing.

It is. however, without an artesian well, and might in case of invasion be foreed to aurrender for want of water.

The three principal hotels—Gregory" wia’s apd Thompson’s—are full, crowded, and overrunning, and any one whose love for the marvellous induces a caleulation of or specu- fation in the mode and manner in which so maby hundreds are provided with food and shelter, will here find ample opportunity to in- | dulge in both. But I will not oceupy your (ime, and shall say the few words I have the spirit to give utterance to, without introduc- tion. ‘Gregory's Hotel, with its beauty and music, ite chivalry and romanco, is now in the zenith of power, aad Jfaccy a0 one who has been there will fail to acknowledge its claims to an envious position among the great features that characterize American watering places. Waat a lake!—clear, cool, and tranqail— enough of breeze to gently fan tho brow of per- epiring nature, and fill the sails of the many li alt that dot the bosom of the silvery shec Hops, as they are called—and why, I know not, unless it be that thore Is more hop- ping dono than dancing—seer to be the lead- ing source of an evening's amusement. The asual secompaniment of flirtations, silent though intelligible looks, sighs and laughter follow oz a mattor of course. the happy throng inthe parlor on Saturday evening, and listened to the merry laugh, mingled with the eweet notes of the music from a fine band, I could not help moralizing a little, | and to regret that the festive scene could not always last. Save on one brow I discovered no | trace of care—and if ever there is vouchsafed | to mortality moments when the spirits are happily blended with life’s congenialities, it is in some Such scene as this. We have here a beautiful woman, whose ma- jesty and graceful mein make her observed, evelt among so many observables.

In bidding adieu to Niagara, none should be content ‘to. return by railroad. If they refer the quict and eomfort of steam- boats to rail cars, let them. procure of the agent at Niagara tickets for the following route, a description of which I copy entire from a “Handbook tor Travellers from Nisgara,Falls to Montreal, Quebec, Lake Ghampluin, Lake George, Saratoga, White Mountains, dic,” 7) ite from Niagara Bulls to Montreal and Quebec, by way of Lake Ontario and the river St, Lawrence, has now become one of the favorite summer excursions so indulged in by all classes of Americans that their Canadian neighbors have named them the “travelling na- tion.” In the first place, no steamers in the world rank higher than thore of the Ootacio ard St. Lawrence Company. sompelaies two American lines—United States mail line, ron- ning on the American side of Lake Oatario, and the American Express line, touching the Canadian side. These boats ate construct- ed in the most stbstantial manner, and a: under the chatge of skilful engineers and gentlemanly commanders. As a of the care and ckill with which the Amvrican steamers have been conducted on these waters, it cam be said of them—what per- haps canvot be said of any other line of steamers or rai!road in the world of equal extent —that there never has occurred an accident by which loss of life was occasioned. In the second place, no route in the United States is more replete with natural interest or more abundanf in thrilling historical associa- tions. The settlement of many towns date back to the first ocoupation by the French. This was also the favorite hunting grouad of the Indians, and many battles were fought ba- fore they would surrender possession of the pleasant country of the Niagara and St. Law- ‘ rence. Here also may. be traced records of the Jesuits, those pioneers of civilization. The long copttst between England and France, finally terminating in the conquest of Canada aud the total destraction of French sovereignty on this continent, furnishes many an interest. ing and bloody batile ficld for the tourist to look upon. The passage down the Niagara river, and through Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence abounds in other attractions aside from those quoted from the “ band book.’’ and which the limited space of this correspondence will not. permit me more than to allude. A fine steamer (the Bay State), with every accommo- dation, and the beauties of the lake shore, oc- cupied our attention until the arrival at the mouth of the St. Lawrence, The passage through the beautiful and unequalled scenery of the Thousand Isles I wili not attempt to de- scribe; nor can I do justice to the wild, varied and foaming rapids through which our steamor glided in safety.

Hts civil career in Texss wes eminent and distinguianed. But itis ia tae couztela of the nation that he kas won the brightest laurels, For nine he has occupied s svat ia | the Senate of the United States, aad by his integrity | and abili:y commanded the respect and covfideace of all bis associates.

General Rusk is a brave and honest man, of eminent ability, great experience, aud re- moarkable administra ‘ive talents, He has ever becn a true and zeslousdemoorgt, and whilst icdalging in nosectiovel animosicies, has always been & faith: ful and unflinching friend of tae Sovth. If tho Gemocracy of the South are permitted to actecta fouthern citizem, whom they woald prefer, we firm- ly helicve re major wonld ‘be favorable to the nomination of General Rusk. It is quite true thet the abolitionists apd their organs would or pose big nomination and election, but this would Constitute a great recommendation with the dem»- aracy of the South; and we believe that the trac- he d democracy of the North—that patriotic portion which hes been true to the South—would profor a Southern demecrat who bad never affiliated with abolitiontets or free soilers on the groat ques | tions which have been discussed and decided daring the last few years. We bave expressed our views at this carly perlod ‘because we are persuaded that no obscure individual, unknown to the mass of the people, aud never designated as their choice, can ever be nominated by avy democrati: convention, but that it mast bo some ‘distingu'ahed statesman whoso merits and character have been sufficiontly discussed in ad- vance of the nominstion, and whose name shall have heen indisated by the great mass of the Ameri- can democracy.

Oa his person wes found eighty dollars, in fives, on the Ohio State Bavk, snda pocket book containing $176 more was handed to the Coroner by a ron who came down on the same train with him, and who, for safe keeviag, bad taken it from his pocket.
