The station on the Staton Island¥Railroad nearest the camp is New Dorp, named, no doubt, after some of he old Dutch getters of this part of the county, and is one mile distant from the former. From New Dorp the visiters to the camp were conveyed in all sorts af vebicies, from the fancy paint id ceach of the Brevoort Bouse, drawn by four plumed horseg, down to the more @emocratic establishments known as furniture dealers’, pediers’ and fish-mongers’ wagons, at prices ranging from ‘emo dollar down to ten cents, As each succeeding train arrived at New Dorp, the ‘‘Jehus,”” in goliciting passengers, dept up a most uproarious confusion, by their ballooing aud yelling in their endeavors to get patrovage. The poor ‘victims of passengors were pulled and hauled into their ehicles by thege fellows with @ license that made one think he was public property, at the will and caprice of these bolstorous drivers. After the vehicles secured full freights of passengers for the camp, they were driven off down New Dorp lane, at @ rate commensurate with the breed and blood of Meir horses, Along the route there was a continuous ubbub of excitement, with the (Ti yar’s,” “Two forty ‘on the planks,” “Blood will tell,” “Get out and push,” and other similar ejaculations from the drivers and pas pengers-en route to the camp. Besides the visiters con- veyed to Camp Scott by the ordinary conveyances, there qwere many dashing Broadway turnouts an gay equipages, and their fair ipmates rivalled, in beauty, fashion and erinoline, any similar cevasion within our present recol- Jection. Klong the road in the vicinity of Camp Scott there sw sre vumerous lager bier venders and refreshment booths, ai! apparently doing @ protty fair business in appeasing the thirst and bunger of those people who chose to pa- fronize them. ‘Th-re were at Jeast two thousand men, women and children promenading the precincts of Camp Scott by noon yesterday, and the numbers were increased as each suc- ceeding train arrived until four o'clock, when the number was swelled to nearly ten thousand, and still increasing. At this hour, by actual count, there were fve hun- @red vebicles around the camp. Besides those who came by the land route from New York, there were many. Drought on from the city in yachts and sail boate, until ‘Qere was a considerable fleet anchored in the haven of tbe canvass city of Scott. ‘The shady groves of the Richmond Clad house, adjoin- lng the vicinity of the camp, were filled with fair prome- naders, moying hither and thither, and among them were Been the cay uniforms of the troops,as they extended welcomes to thee of their friends who came @own from the city to enjoy a day’s pleasure %m camp. From an elevated point the coup d'eil was grand—more picturesque and romantis than any that has Deon presented in the history of military encampmonts. During the entire day the company streets in Camp Root} were promenaded by the belles of New York, and tbe troops kept “open houses’? and a ‘welcome to alt’ Rue de Riblet,’? “Shamway: nade in rn place,” who chore to accopt their hospitality.

SALE OF VILLA PLOTS ON BERGEN HEIGHTS. A few months since several gentlemen associated them- selves into a company, under the title and firm of the Bergen (N. J.) Land and Improvement Company. Their chief object was to secure desirable and contiguous resi- dences for themselves. To this end they proceeded to purchase about one hundred and (ify acree of land on the peninsula known as Bergen Neck, or Heights, in New Jersey, and laid the seme out into plots of from one to ten acres, located and graded aye. nuee of the liberal dimensions of eighty feet, be- sidee making other improvements. To the purchase the somewbat fanciful name of Bayonne was given. The place, village or city, as it may in future become, is about five miles from Jersey City, and two and « half miles from Bergen Point, and extends from New York bay on the front to Newark bay on tho rear. Nearly one half of the purchase is covered by a beautiful native forest, and bas « generally even surface, susceptible of almost every variety of improvement. At almost any point, at an ele- vation of thirty feet, a fine view of both bays and the surrounding scenery may be obtained. In front the bay and barbor of New Yerk, as well as much of the city ant Brooklyn, are in full view. In the rear Ne bay Spreads out with ite ca'm smoothness while on the righi, ook!

METROPOLITAN SPECTACLES. | The Ex fon of Hicks—Seventh Regi- ment Encampmenmt—Great Eastern—Ar- rival of Heenan, d&c. No one can look upon the Herarp of to-day ant not acknowledge that New York is prolific in sensations. Turn where you will and you have presented before you a picture of metropolitan life visible nowhere else ou our broad continent. Whether it be scenes of jocal interest, news from abroad, the editorial comment, war or peave, matters political, social or financial, or the simple adver- tisement of the servant girl, our columns are a kuleido- scopic view of them all, and constitute a shrine before — which every class of the community, from the highest to | the lowest, from the best to the worst, may bow, Probably never before in the history of New York has @ single year been so pregnant with excitements as the present. Great events have followed each other with a rapidity that has hardly left an interval for the mind to recover from its delirium of novelty. Tosay nothing of the occurrences out of town, that have met with a re- eponsive throb here, such as the New England strikes, ‘the international prize fight, and others which agitated our own community almost as much as those where the events took place, we have had murders, mysteries and The Japanese came and went, leaving behind in thoir decent donation the most agreeable of impressions. The Fourth of July fcllowed, with the usual ebullition of patriotism and pyrotechnics, while the arrival of tho Great Eastern again aroused New York from centre to circumference, ‘and ran the mercury of feeling up to a fever heat. ‘It would thus scem as if we hada surfeitof excitement; but yet the ery is “ atill they come.” Our paper to-day is devoted to no less than three, each of which will be read with interest by the respective classes of the com- munity to whose appetites it caters most. ‘Whese are, first and paramount, the execution of the pi- rate Hicke, the full and graphic account of which reminds one of the public hangings of a quarter of a century ago. ‘The ten or fifteen thousand who were present on the occa- sion are not a tythe of the multitude who, at the very in- stant that Hicks was swung in the air, were longing to be present, and who will, with feelings incident to weak hu- man naturo, revel in the minutest details, Executions, however, are becoming so common in our metropolis, that ‘unless under circumstances similar to those of yesterday, ‘they rarely arouse 80 intense and gencral a focling of cu- riogity in the community, and then we draw a long breath of relief at the reflection that the law has done its duty, and rid the earth of one whese crimes deserved nothing but the deserts he received. Next to this, and more pleasant to the contemplation, is the description, in another column, of the entertainments incident to the camp of the National Guard on Staten Island. For ten days this fine corps of our citizen sol- diery have been luxuriating between the pleasures and hardships of tent life, while thousands of our ladies and gentlemen and military officials, attracted by the gay ecenes, have daily paid their visits to the beautiful local- ity of Camp Scott. The oncampment terminates to day, ‘Dut will long be remembered as one among the “ mile- stones of the past, that time has wreathed in flowers ‘With the Great Eastern our readers are already familiar. Thousands have already gone on bosrd, and bundreds of thousands are no doubt waiting a convenient opportunity to follow the example of their predecessora. Curiosity, inatead of diminishing, is daily on the increase, and in almost all the principal cities, from Portland to Charleston, S. C., and from Chicago to the Atlantic coast, we are fu- formed that arrangemente are being mate fur monster ex- cursions to the metropolis, for the parpose of seeing this mechanical wonder of the age. The number of visiters yesterday was largor than ever, and the rush so great at one time that over 300 cntered the ship in the short space of fifteen minutes. As we before remarked, the fear of » crowd on board need not deter any person from yielding to the desire to visit the vessel. Her proportions are so immense, and the number of places open to vi siters 80 great, that the majority are absorbed soon after they make their enirie, and probably lost sight of for the remainder of the time. We may add here that the hour of exhibition bas been prolonged until seven o'clock in the evening. ‘These, however, are not all the novelties of the season. ‘Unless the sporting world are sorely disappointed , tho great Benicia Boy to-day or to-morrow, in case he arrives, will be the subject of an ovation from his admirors, which, as the emanstion of a particelar clase, will rival that of a prince. Muscle, for the period, will be on its magnificence, and in their rough but bearty way the “poy” will do rare honor to the American champion. Nor ‘will the balance of the community regard these proceed- ings without interest. Heenan has been associated with an event to which the prees of both England and America have given almost an international character, and what ever may be said to the contrary by philosophers of the water gruel gender, @ majority of the people have as much curiosity to see the pugilistic hero as if he were a Garibaldi or a second William Tell. ‘This will conclude the sengations of the present week. ‘What the future may bring forth remains to be demon- strated; but we promise our country cousins of the | suburbs—such as Philadelphia and Boston—that when- ever they come to the metropolis we shall always present | them with a feast of novelties that will not only repay ‘them for « visit, but cause an enlargement of eyes and ideas as to ‘things in general”’ pertaining to Gotham, eal- culated materially to improve their comprehension.
